Alexandras POV

As promised, today will be spent catching up with my brothers.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to it.

I got dressed bright and early -not by choice - to go spend time with the first brother on my list.



How we'd decided who would spend time with me first was a long and difficult process.

Flashback

"Rock paper scissors?" (Damon)

"No I'm rubbish at that, and you always cheat!" (Elias)

"THAT'S WHY I SUGGESTED IT!" (Damon)

"Quiet. How about we each assign our self a number from 1-4 and the order that Alexandra chooses the numbers in is the order that we will spend time with her." (Alfonso)

"That's just unnecessary." (Matteo)

"And you could cheat by showing the number on your fingers." (Elias)

"Well then what do you suggest huh." (Alfonso)

"..." (Elias)

"That's what I thought." (Alfonso)

"Uuuuummmmmmmm..... let's flip a coin. " (Matteo)

"Where the fuck do you expect us to get a coin from, we're rich we only carry notes or cards." (Damon)

"Flip a note?" (Matteo)

"I- why do I even bother." (Alfonso)

"You boys seriously don't carry any coins?! Uugh take mine." (Alexandra)

"Thank you sorella." (Matteo)

"Wait, how do you guys get a shopping trolley if you don't have any coins on you?" (Alexandra)

"Simple. The future is online baby. You wouldn't catch me in a supermarket." (Damon)

"And that's why you're the spoilt one." (Elias)

"Can't help that I have better things to be doing with my time." (Damon)

"Yh like what?" (Elias)

"Having se-" (Damon)

"Ok that's enough from the both of you." (Alfonso and Matteo)

"Woah we said that at the same time." (Alfonso and Matteo)

"Stop it!" (Alfonso and Matteo)

"No you stop it!" (Alfonso and Matteo)

"How about you both fucking stop it so we can get this shit over with." (Alexandra)

"LANGUAGE!" (Alfonso, Matteo, Damon and Elias)

"Whatever just flip the coin." (Alexandra)

"Heads it's between me and Alfonso, tails it's between Damon or Elias." (Matteo)

~majestically flips coin~

"TAILS LOSERS!" (Damon and Elias)

"This shits rigged." (Alfonso)

"So you're allowed to swear and I'm not." (Alexandra)

"That's right bambina." (Alfonso)

"Hypocrite." (Alexandra)

"Ok, so it's now between Damon and Elias. Heads Elias. Tails Damon." (Matteo)

~magnificently flips coin~

"HEADS! OH YEAH I WIN! I GET TO SPEND TIME WITH OUR SISTER FIRST TAKE THAT!" (Elias)

"At least I'm second." (Damon)

"Move aside. Now it's our turn. Elias hurry and flip the coin. (Alfonso)

"Ok heads Alfonso, Tails Matteo." (Elias)

~effortlessly flips coin~

"Let's see..." (Elias)

"What do we have here.." (Elias)

"Its....." (Elias)

"Stop stalling and fucking tell us." (Alfonso and Matteo)

"I swear there's no patience in this household. Anyway it's Heads." (Elias)

"OH YEAH EAT THAT MATTEO! I WIN! I FUCKING WIN! Quite naturally the better sibling always does." (Alfonso)

"Better sibling puh lease you wouldn't even be considered for that." (Matteo)

"I'm sure our sorella would disagree after all I am her favourite." (Alfonso)

"Having a laugh oldie it's obviously me, no question about it." (Damon)

"You guys must really be on something to think it's you. It's obviously me. (Matteo)

"I think we've established it's me thank you very much." (Elias)

"Why don't we ask our sorella then." (Damon)

"Um....uuh..... oh is that dad I hear calling." (Alexandra)

"What? I didn't hear anyone." (Matteo)

"Oh... Yh COMING DAD!" (Alexandra)

"I still didn't hear anyone?" (Matteo)

"Did she just.." (Alfonso)

"Oh no she didn't.." (Elias)

"ALEXANDRA FERRARI GET BACK HERE AND ANSWER THE QUESTION." (Damon)

End of flashback

Yh so that just about sums up what happened.

Elias asked me to meet him in his bedroom so that's were I was going right now. I wonder what he's got planned.

Once I got there, I was in awe of his beautiful room that suited him quite well.



Not only did the bedroom reflect his calm and peaceful nature, but it also highlighted his love for computers as there was a lot of tech stuff laying around. Elias sat patiently waiting on his bed.

"Hey Eli, what you got planned for us to do today?" I asked him. His face lit up as he smiled running into his bathroom.

He came out with something behind his back. I gave him a puzzled look and he smiled widely at me.

"Well I was thinking we could do something that I've thought of doing for a while, but I've never had anyone who wanted to do it with me, soooooooo do you want to dye each others hair!" He looked at me hopefully.

"Yh I'm up for some change, I've been wanting to change my hair up a bit." He literally squealed and led me to the bathroom were he had a truck load of supplies and colours.

"So whose hair should we do first?" He asked.

"Lets do yours. I don't know what I want to do yet for mine. What are you thinking of doing?" I asked him.

"Umm, I was thinking one of those split dye hairstyles. But that's only cause I can't choose between all these colours. So I'm thinking, a magenta type colour on one side and black on the other." I played with his hair, thinking about the idea.

"I think that's a great idea, pass me everything I need and I'll be able to do it."

He nodded his head and excitedly collected all the stuff we needed to make his dream a reality. He sat down on a seat and I begun my magic.

After 2 hours I was finally done and let me tell you he looked absolutely AMAZING!



"Woah! Sorella I love it! Thank you so much!" I laughed as he tackled me into a big hug. I hugged him back laughing.

He let me go and started playing with his hair a bit messing around with it.

"Should we do yours now? Have you thought of what you want to do?"

"Well.... I definately want to make my hair darker. And maybe even something like an ombre. So how about like black roots going down in an ombre pattern to a grey or lilac? Would that look good? Yh I think it would look good, I want to do that."

He played with my hair moving it around.

"Yh I can do that, do you want it cut like a trim cause I can do that too?" I nodded my head and he smiled collecting everything he needed.

"So how do you know how to do this stuff?" I asked him.

"I can ask you the same thing." He retaliated.

"I asked first."

He rolled his eyes and laughed. "Ive always been into hair. I like styling it and cutting it myself, I also colour it from time to time, I haven't done it in ages though. How about you?"

"I used to do my friend Hailey's hair all the time, you met her when we were at our house. She would always be coming to me to make her hair into these crazy cool colours."

"That's cool, now quit moving I need to get this perfect." I laughed as he focused on his work.

We talked about everything and nothing and after a few hours my hair was finally done and I was in LOVE with it. He'd honestly done such an amazing job.



"I love it bro!" I hugged him tight and we both laughed playing with our hair in the mirror.

"Lets go downstairs and suprise everyone, they're probably having dinner right now." He suggested sorting his hair out.

"Yh that's a great idea, bet I'll get there before you." I ran off before he could answer me.

"Oh no you don't!" He shouted chasing after me.

We ran through the house to the dining room. I stood outside and turned around, he still wasn't here.

A few minutes later I heard heavy breathing and saw Elias beside me, hands on his knees breathing in and out.

"How the fuck did you get down here so fast?" He asked breathlessly. I shrugged my shoulders and waited for him to catch his breath before we both pushed open the dining room door at the same time.

The others looked at us weirdly as we strutted into the room like models on a runway. Twirling around and flicking our hair for a dramatic affect.

We both sat in our seats while the others just blinked a few times eyebrows raised.

Probably blinded by how fabulous we are right now.

"So what do you think?" We said at the same time.

We totally didn't rehearse that outside for the past 5 minutes.

"Your hair, Yh looks nice." Damon said staring down at his phone. The others nodded in agreement.

Me and Elias looked at each other like they'd just told us the earth was flat.

"Nice. What do you mean nice. We did not slave away upstairs doing our hair for you to just say it looks nice." Elias said offended.

Took the words straight out of my mouth.

"You know what, we're gonna step outside, and when we come back in we expect a better reaction than just nice." I spoke pulling Elias outside.

We stood outside whispering profanities to each other before clearing our throats and re-entering the dining room.

This time everyone's attention was on us as we posed at the head of the table.

Alfonso started clapping whilst Matteo rubbed the tears from his eyes like a proud mother. Damon got out a dictionary app on his phone and read out all the synonyms for nice.

We bowed and sat down in our seats. The maids served us some food and we thanked them tucking in happily.

"Come find me after you've finished your dinner sorella, I'll be in the garage waiting." Spoke Damon getting up after finishing his food.

I nodded and smiled eating my chicken. I wonder what he's got in store for us to do.

I scoffed down my food and cleared my plate, saying goodbye to everyone before making my way to the garage where Damon was waiting for me.

The garage was full to the brim with cars and bikes from all sorts of high end luxury brands. I couldn't help but gape at them all in awe.

"Like what you see?" He asked looking around.

"Like it. I fucking love it!" He laughed at the wide expression on my face.

"Choose a car to take and we'll be on our way." I looked at him to see if he was being serious and he was. I ran to the cars looking through them all like a kid in a toy shop.

I loved all of them, but there was one car that peaked my interest. I was drawn to it and it's beautiful Matt black colour and interior.

"We're taking the Audi R8." I spoke grinning at the vehicle in front of me.

"Good choice sorella." Damon said grabbing the keys from a hook and making his way towards me and the beautiful car.



We got in the car and buckled our selves in. I saw Damon placing something in the boot of the car but didn't question it. He reversed out the garage and sped down the road.

"Where are we going?" I asked him curiously.

"You'll see." Was all he said before concentrating on the road ahead of him.

I sighed, knowing he wasn't going to budge and tell me no matter how much I asked him so I sat back and looked out the window enjoying the journey. Music playing gently in the background. I closed my eyes, feeling peaceful.

Feeling the car come to a sudden stop, I opened my eyes and looked at the scene around me. We were basically in the middle of nowhere, with only one single building in front of us. I looked at Damon confused. Perhaps we'd gotten lost or something?



He only smiled and signalled for me to get out of the car.

Is this how I die?

Alexandra Ferrari, the bitchy 17 year old killed at the hand of her own dear brother, left to rot in an abandoned building. She will be missed.

Eh, if I die, i die. Ain't nobody gonna stop that from happening one day.

I got out the car while Damon was collecting something from the boot. I went to see what he was up to.

He had a bag in his hands and closed the boot grabbing my hand and taking me inside the building.

Those are probably his weapons.

I wonder what type of guns he has?

Like I don't wanna die by no pistol, at least let it be something fancy. I'd even take a rifle or a sniper to the head.

"Come on Alex hurry up, I'm not gonna kill you." He joked.

Oh, well that's a shame. I was actually starting to like the idea.

"Yh I knew that." I said following him inside and upstairs the abandoned building.

"Why are we here? How did you even find this place?" I asked him mega confused as to what was going on right now.

"You'll see why we're here in a few minutes and I stumbled upon this place when I was fed up and angry one day. I decided to go in and now it's my special place that no one knows about, well except now you, and Lucy." He spoke navigating his way through the house.

Wait Lucy knows about this place?

That's suspicious.

Is there something going on with them?

I ship!

Same!

"Did you say Lucy knows about this place? I didn't know you were that close." He opened his mouth and closed it again like a fish.

"Did I say Lucy? Phfft no I didn't mean Lucy. No. I umm meant Luka yeah Luka. Probably just came out wrong or something." He turned his face around as we turned a corner. I could see the redness on his cheeks.

Yh there's definately something going on with them!!

I'm shipping so hard right now!

I decided to let him be and not ask further on the topic. He'd tell me once he was comfortable and besides I didn't want to force him to say anything he wasn't ready to say.

As we went through the house, I noticed the walls filled with beautiful graffiti art designs. I looked at them in awe as we went inside a room and stopped.

The walls were plain and had no graffiti on them, different from the others. Damon stopped and placed his bag down opening it up to reveal a selection of spray paint cans.



"So as you can probably tell right now, we're going to be doing some graffiti!" He said enthusiastically.

"I'm down." I excitedly spoke as we both grabbed a few cans and shook them. Choosing our side of the wall, we began painting.

We talked and laughed as we both filled our canvases with our design. Soon we were both finished and stepped back to admire each others work.

"Woah, yours looks so cool!" I said looking at Damon's artwork. He'd used a variety of colours and techniques to make a beautiful design that almost looked life like.



"Thanks sorella, I've always loved tigers." He said smiling widely.

He then looked at mine and gasped staring at it.

"Wow! Have you seen yours it's awesome!" He spoke looking at the detail.



"Thanks. I like wolves they're my favourite animal." I said truthfully.

We both talked some more before deciding to leave as it was nearly time for me to spend time with Alfonso. We both arrived home hiding the bag behind our backs.

We don't want to get caught with spray paint or we'd both be grounded and Damon's safe place would be exposed. We ran upstairs and charged into Damon's room shoving the bag under his bed.

Right on time too because at that moment Alfonso opened the door looking at both of us weirdly.

"No running in the house." He said sternly and we nodded our heads quickly.

He raised an eyebrow and then shook his head. "Meet me at the front entrance bambina in five minutes." He spoke smiling at me. I smiled back and agreed. He left closing the door behind him.

"That was a close one." We both said collapsing onto his bed out of breath. I sighed and got up smoothing out my clothes.

"I had fun today." I said hugging him. He hugged me back tightly.

"I had fun too, but you better get going you don't want to keep Alfonso waiting." We laughed and said our goodbyes as I made my way to the front entrance of the house where Alfonso was patiently waiting for me.

He had a mat in his hands, a bunch of flowers and his car keys in the other. I looked at him confused and he smiled excitedly leading me to his car outside.

"I want you to meet some people very close to me today bambina." He said slightly nervous but excited.

Woah. Whoever these people are must mean a lot to him to actually make him nervous.

"Sure who are they?" I asked him curiously.

"I'm not giving anything away." He spoke playfully. I rolled my eyes and pouted, folding my arms which made him laugh and start the car going to his destination.

He gave me his aux cord and I put some music on in the car. I sang to the music as he smiled occasionally glancing at me having fun. He even joined in a few times when call me maybe came on, which made us both burst out laughing.

In no time we arrived at a huge park. We got out of the car. Alfonso looked around like he was looking for someone. Whoever this person was, he spotted them and smiled widely heading towards them.

I followed him confused to the swings. He stood behind a beautiful girl who had her back towards him totally oblivious to his presence. He grabbed her waist and she gasped hugging him tightly.

"Babe, you scared me." She laughed while holding on to someone on the swing.

Babe??

"Sorry mi amor." He answered while kissing her and giving her the flowers he had in his hands. I turned my head in disghust.

I heard them laughing and I looked at them. They probably saw the confusion on my face as I gave them a questioning look. They smiled looking at each other.

"Alexandra, I want you to meet my wife, Catalina and my son Axel." I stared at him wide eyed, my mouth open in shock.

Did he just say he has a wife and kid?!!?!?

It was only now that I noticed the little boy happily playing on the swing his mouth turned up in a cute little smile. He looked no older than 3.

"Wait. What?" I asked in shock. Catalina came closer bringing me into a hug squeezing me tight.

"She's even more prettier than you described." She kindly spoke releasing me and smiling at me. She had one of those smiles where you couldn't help but smile back.

"Dada!" "Dada back momma!" Spoke Axel in his cute baby voice. Alfonso lifted him from the swing and held him in his arms.

"Yes bud, Dadda's back now." Axel bounced excitedly hugging his Dadda. I smiled at their little reunion.

"Dadda who dat?" He asked looking at me. I waved at him and he smiled showing me his baby teeth.

"That's your auntie buddy." He tilted his head in confusion.

"Axel got a awntie?" He asked. I smiled at how cute he was being. He saw my smile and gave me one of his own while reaching his hands out wanting me to hold him.

I took him from Alfonso and placed him on my hip while he poked my face playing with my nose.

"Axel awntie vewy pwetty." I laughed at this causing him to hug me tight laying his head on my shoulder.

"Axel very pretty too." I said which made him hug me tighter smiling to himself.

"Axel like Axel awntie." We all laughed at this.

"Let's go find somewhere to sit so we can have some of your delicious food." Said Alfonso, wrapping his arm around Catalina's waist, leading her to the open field. I held Axel and followed beside them.

We layed our mat down next to a tree in the shade, a beautiful river next to us. The grass was freshly cut and not a single person in sight. We layed out the food that Catalina had made for our picnic and tucked in, laughing and having fun.



"So how did you two meet?" I asked Catalina as Alfonso played with Axel.

"Well, we met in Italy, I was 18, he was 19. I worked in a small bakery that was a family owned business with my best friend. He came in one day and we instantly clicked. He came in often and we would always talk until one day he asked me out and I said yes. Fast forward a year he asked me to marry him and we had our wedding at a beach. We then moved to New York and bought our own place. A few months later we had Axel when I turned 20." She smiled dreamily at Alfonso and we began talking again.

I honestly really liked, Cata, she was the perfect match for Alf and she made him smile which I loved about her.

"Wait you said you've got a house here, why does Alf stay at dad's then?" I asked Cata as she held Axel. Alfonso layed his head on her lap with his eyes closed answering my question.

"Bambina, Catalina was in Italy for a few weeks with Axel visiting her parents so the house was empty. I stayed with dad for what was supposed to be for a few days to help with the business and visit the boys. On the day I was going to leave for home, we found you and brought you home. I wanted to stay for longer to watch you grow and settle in." He opened his eyes and beamed at me.

I smiled finishing off my food. Once we had finished our divine meal and praised Catalina for how amazing it was we set off home, Catalina and Axel joining us this time.

The sun was starting to set by now and I had one more brother to spend time with. We parked the car in the garage and made our way inside.

Catalina went to Alfonso's room to tuck a very sleepy Axel into bed. Alfonso turned around and hugged me which caught me slightly off guard but it didn't stop me from hugging him back.

I've really started to trust these people and call them my family and I don't regret it one bit.

"I'm glad you're back sorella." He whispred in my ear.

"I'm glad to be back." I whispered back.

We let go of each other and he told me Matteo was waiting for me in the kitchen I nodded and left to find him.

Upon opening the kitchen door, I was met with Matteo sitting on the kitchen counter, his glasses framed his eyes whilst he read an old looking book. I went closer to him and he looked up smiling once he saw me.

"Hey tesoro, we're going to have so much fun together!" I laughed as he hopped off the counter running to my side.

"What's that?" I asked referring to the book in his hands. He grinned grabbing my hand taking me with him to the counter where he put the book down so I could see the cover.

"This is our nonna's cook book. They're her own special delicious recipes that she made herself. She gave it to me on my 15th birthday when she learned I had an interest in cooking. She even let me put in some of my own recipes." He spoke.

"Today, I'm going you teach you how to make nonna's famous desserts, pick any dessert you want to make out of the book and I'll help you make it."

I agreed carefully flipping through the pages. Each recipe looked more and more delicious than the last, till I saw the perfect recipe.

"Can we make her special Italian Riccota chocolate cake with Italian hot chocolate." I asked hopefully.

"Ahh a chocolate lover like myself." He spoke. I nodded grinning from ear to ear.

As you can see, chocolate makes me happy. If you want a way to my heart, stock up on your chocolate!

We read the instructions and got everything out that we needed. I got out all the utensils while Matteo went to the pantry and fridge collecting all the ingredients.

We layed everything on the kitchen island and began cooking. I mixed in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt, until all the dry ingredients were thoroughly combined.

I love baking, but I tend to almost always make a mess of things when it involves flour. This time was no different.

The flour flew out the bowl when I pressed the button to switch on the mixer. I was blinded by the fumes and the thick cloud it made, making me cough and step aside from the bowl.

Flour covered the floor, the walls and both of our faces. The bloody thing was everywhere.

Matteo finally regained control of the mixer and turned it off, breathing heavily.

We looked at each other and laughed at the state we were in. There was flour all over Teo's clothes and in his hair. It was even on his face and at the top of his nose. I'm sure I looked even worse as I was at the epicentre of it all.

"Next time let's make sure we check that the mixer is on low sorella." He laughed out and I sheepishly nodded my head.

We re-added the flour and the other ingredients that had been lost and continued with cooking.

"What's our nonna like?" I asked as we mixed the wet ingredients together in a seperate bowl. Teo stopped mixing and looked at me as he answered my question.

"Nonna's so amazing and precious. She's been like a mother figure to us ever since Louisa, well, you know what the woman who birthed us did. Anyway nonna is dad's mum and she's so kind and sweet. She lives in Italy with nonno. He's strict at first, but he cares about his grandkids a lot." He spoke proudly of our family.

"Do I have anymore family?" I asked hopefully. It wouldn't hurt to have more people in my life would it? He nodded aggressively and I listened interested.

"Dad is the oldest of 2 brothers. Uncle Carlos, the middle child. He's married to Aunty Aliyah. They have 3 sons who are all triplets, Marciano is the oldest, then Martino, Marco is the youngest. They're all your age actually, 17."

"Dad's youngest brother is Uncle Francisco. His wife is called Aunty Elise. He has 2 twin boys Dante and Dario both 18." He spoke explaining to me.

"Dad actually told me to tell you that they're going to be visiting soon. They don't know about you being here yet so I'm sure it'll be a pleasant surprise."

Or they make a big deal out of it and reject you.

I'm sure that won't happen.

Don't be too sure. They're not going to like you being here.

Shut up. I just wanna have a family for once why can't you let me have that in peace.

Oh Alexandra have you really forgotten already. There is no peace for a monster like you. Never was never will be no matter how much you surround yourself around these people kidding yourself that you're loved.

Just, leave me alone.

"Alex? You there?" I broke out of my trance and took a look at Matteo's worried face.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Alexandra I've been calling you for the past few minutes are you okay? Do you need some water or something?" He spoke concerned.

I shook my head no and cleared my throat.

"Sorry didn't mean to worry you, I was just thinking." He smiled comfortingly and we both continued with our cake, popping it into the oven to bake.

We cleared everything away and got started on the hot chocolate. I didn't want Matteo to be worried so I put on a fake smile and continued having fun with him.

Soon everything was ready and let me tell you it was all DELICIOUS! Nonna's recipes are better than any other dessert I've ever eaten in my life.

Pictures of food below





We both sat down on the balcony with our food, eating peacefully whilst watching the sunset. We had a slice of cake each and a warm mug of hot chocolate to go with it.

We talked for the remainder of the night. My past worries vanishing when Matteo calmly sat next to me gazing at the sky together. Soon it was getting dark and we had finished our food and had enough to share out for tommorow.

Matteo said he'd preserve the cake for tommorow and that I was free to go get some sleep as it was starting to get pretty late and I was getting tired. I agreed hugging him tight as he gave me a gentle kiss on my forehead.

I made my way upstairs exhausted and satisfied with how the day has been. I got changed into some pyjamas and got into my toasty warm bed only to be disrupted by my phone ringing.

I groaned getting up to check it only to see that it was my other phone. My assasin phone. Checking the caller I pressed the answer button, lifting it to my ear.

"Speak." Authoritively I spoke. This bitch was ruining my already messed up sleep schedule even more.

"Welcoming as always." The bitch spoke on the other line.

"Cut to the fucking chase Alaric. What the hell do you want?" I asked annoyed.

"22:00 tommorow, I want to meet up at Blue Oceans night club to discuss the plan and what you need to do for this mission."

I rolled my eyes whilst talking. "I agree. We also haven't had a conversation about how much you're willing to pay me so I expect to talk about that tommorow alongside all the other details." He agreed and continued.

"Once you come to the club, look for a man with a red and yellow tie. He will escort you to me."

Not like I don't know exactly what you look like already.

"Ok, expect me there." I hung up the phone this time before he could and satisfyingly put it away and hopped into bed for the second time and went to sleep.

Looks like I'm going to be having a little fun tommorow.
