Isabella

The whole family is coming?

"What?" I asked Lorenzo in a tired and confused voice.

"Shhh, go to sleep Bella. I'll explain everything tomorrow morning." I felt my eyes getting heavier as Lorenzo started to draw on my arms.

"They're going to absolutely love you Isabella." He whispered and I hugged him closer what made him laugh.

"Please never leave me Enzo." I said in a small voice.

"I couldn't even dream of it cariño."

And with that, I entered the magical scene they called night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, if I would say I was freaking out, it would be an understantment.

I was losing my shit.

"Isabella calm down-"

"The whole freaking family?! Holy meatballs, I'm about to shit my pants." I was pacing across the room while Lorenzo was standing next to my bed, looking at me amused.

"What if they don't like me? Or worse, what if they think I'm like mother?" My hands went to my hair, even thinking about it made me nauseous. Lorenzo's playfull glare was replaced with a serious one.

"They would never think that Isabella. Your aunts have been dying to meet you. If it wasn't for their business, they would have been here an hour before you came. They love you." He said while walking to me and lifting me up.

We were hugging now like we always do, in the koala way.

"But-"

"No buts Isabella."

"But butts are nice." I said with a huge grin and Lorenzo started to chuckle.

"I swear it scares me how much similar you are to your brothers."

"Ouch, I feel offended." I said cheeky and he started to chuckle again "How many aunts do I have?"

"Two."

"How many cousins do I have?"

"Ten."

"I HAVE TEN COUSINS? Me is dead." I said dramatically. Lorenzo chuckled, still holding me like a koala with my head on his shoulder.

"Wait how many males are-"

"With me and your brothers, eighteen males and three other females besides you."

"I want white flowers on my funeral and the song 'hurt' from Johnny Cash played on it, thank you."

We laughed a little more until it was time for me to get changed.

"How are the cramps?" Lorenzo asked.

"They feel like death."

"When you come home, I'll have some warm towels and food laying ready, okay?" He kissed my forehead and I nodded. He gave me a glare and I said a quick 'that would be amazing.' He smiled at me and before he walked out, he faced me.

"Emilio bought you another sweater last night, he would love it if you would wear it to school today." And with that he left the room. I turned to my closet and the hoodie immediately cought me eye. I started to smile, I put it on and matched it with some black ripped pants and some converses. I did my hair in two french braids.

(The hoodie)





I walked downstairs and everyone was peacefully eating his breakfast. I slipped on a chair and Matteo gave me a bowl with cereal and a glass of milk.

"Eat up koala. Nice hoodie."

"Thanks, Emilio's gift." I said with my mouth full of food.

"Don't eat with food in your mouth, loca." Emilio laughed as he looked up. "Damn, I have a good fashion taste." I almost choked on my milk from laughing and all my brothers send me a concerned face.

"I'm good, I'm good." I said with my hands in the air. "Sooooo, the whole family is coming? Like the whole family? All of them?"

"All of them, koala." Matteo chuckled. "It's been way too long. How long are they staying Lorenzo?"

"They planned to stay here for about a week or so. The maids already prepared the rooms."

"When are they arriving?" Rodrigo asked. He sounded...excited

"Around lunch, so when you're coming back from school, they'll be here already." He looked back at his phone to read some emails.

"Have they ever... met me?" I asked in a quiet voice. All heads turned to me and I just wanted to go bibbedi bobbedie boo gone.

"They have. Althought the joungest won't remember, but they did meet you." Matteo gave me a small smile.

"Now chop chop, you have classes to go to!" Emilio groaned when Matteo mentioned school.

"Two years out of that hell hole and it still manages to hunt me every damn day." Emilio rubbed his face with his hands.

"Language!" Lorenzo and Matteo said and I let out a small chuckle.

"I understand your pain, brother." I patted him on the schoulder and acted along with the dramatic act.

Emilio chuckled and kissed my forehead.

"Don't get in too much trouble, but not too less." He winked the last part, making sure Lorenzo didn't hear it.

"Oh, that reminds me, I need to bring something to school, I'll be right back." I ran upstairs and got the measure device in my backpack. I ran back downstairs and followed the twins into the car after I said goodbye to everyone and hugged Lorenzo.

I can't wait for Mrs. Makey class...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I got out of the car, it was basically the same like any other day, the stares, me running to Katie, us talking about our next prank and going to all that boring stuff they call classe. Last period before lunch, it was physics from Mrs. Makey. We entered the class five minutes late and we ignored her speech she was throwing at us.

"Miss Castillo! You didn't forgot your task, right?" She said with evil in her eyes.

"Of course not, your highness." I said with a too sweet voice and Katie was struggling to hold back her laughter.

"Oh really? Bring the measure device here."

I walked to her desk and pulled out my measure device.

A scale.

"You brought a scale? Are you really that stupid."

"Not exactly, I set it up so it's in kilograms. That way, when you get on it, it goes from 0 to 150 kilograms in seconds." (= 330, 69 pounds) I smiled even more when the whole class started laughing and she was speechless.

"MY BEST FRIEND IS A GENIUS!" Katie cried while laughing what made me laugh harder.

"ISABELLA CASTILLO, OUT OF MY CLASSROOM!" She broke out of her trance and screamed at me. R. I. P. my ears.

"No need to shout woman, and techincally, this isn't your classro-"

"OUT!"

"Yeez, fine. It was amazing to see you again Mrs. Makey, have a good one!" I smiled at her and winked at Katie who was still laughing like everybody else on the ground.

I walked towards the cafetaria so I could get early lunch for me a Katie when a hand stopped me. I was about to throw a punch to his or her face when my fist got caught.

"Easy tiger, it's only us."

You really had to almost punch Greyson, didn't you?

"Are you skipping class?" Cole asks amused.

"No, I was thrown out dipshit." I rolled my eyes and started laughing at the golden memories.

"Thrown out? What did you do?" Rio laughed and a smirk appeared on my face.

"So basicallyy, Msr. Makey hates my guts-"

"Ugh she's so boring!" Cole said.

"Do not interrupt me dispshit." I give him a glare and then turned around and faced Rio and Greyson like nothing happened. They both got a smile at their face and Greyson's smile was sooo dreamy- StOp It!

"So she hates my guts and she gave me the task to bring a device with me today that goes from 0 to 150 in seconds. I gave her a scale in kilograms." I shrugged the last part and they all started laughing.

"Oh- My- G-God, you are a l-legend!" Cole said between the laughs. After a while they caught their breath again.

"Your brothers are looking for you, something about family that arrived?" My face went pale the second he said that. I'll admit, I was a little scared to meet them.

Okay, a lot.

"Shit, Isabella, you okay?" Greyson asked while taking a step closer.

"Yeah, I'm... good. Erm- where are my brothers right now?"

"I don't know, I'll call them." Cole said as he turned around and dailed in a number.

"You sure you're okay? You went pale pretty quick." Greyson asked concerned. Does he- care about me? Nahhh

"I'm fine, really." I gave him a small smile but I don't think he believed it.

"We're meeting them at the parking, let's go."

We walked to the parking in a comfortable silence, me walking between Cole and Rio and Greyson walking behind me. When we arrived at the parking, I saw my brothers leaning against the car.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"The fam has arrived, Lorenzo gave us permission to come home. Grandpa wants to see you right now."

I swalled really loud and I could see Rodrigo laughing.

"Something amusing?" I asked angry.

"Yeah, you can say something like that. Grandpa isn't the easest to go along with." He winked and I felt my anxiety rise.

"Let's go." Riccardo said,breaking our stare competition. I rolled my eyes and turned to their friends.

"Let me guess, you're all going to skip?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Awwwwn look at that, she know us for about 48 hours and she already knows how we think!" Rio pouted and I playfully slapped his arm.

"See you tomorrow dispshits!" I yelled while running into the car. Once I was in the car I looked outside and saw that Greyson was following the car with his eyes. Our eyes locked and then he turned around.

Now, time to meet the whole family.

Amazing right?

I took my phone and texted Katie that I was going home because of family. She asked if I was okay and I said I was fine. I told her to sit with Victoria, that they invited us to sit wwith them. I looked at Lorenzo's name.

Should I text him?

No, let's not bother him.

I was looking out the window, getting lost in my own thoughts. Ten cousins, two aunts, two uncles and grandparents. That's a lot of family members when you come from a mother and her boyfriend.

Wait, in three days Lorenzo's lawyers will come to discuss the trial. Fuck, I totally forgot about that.

Does my family know about the- No, they wouldn't tell them without me knowing.

I need to speak to Lorenzo about the trial, when I want it or not. It has to be done.

I was so lost in my thoughts that we already arrived and the twins were looking at me confused.

"So, we're getting out of the car or..." Rodrigo asked irritated.

"You don't get to talk to me with that attitude mister. Right now you're on the edge to be on my dark side, so I would keep those thoughts to yourself." I said coldly and for a split second I saw guilt flashing through his eyes. It went as fast as it came though.

"Let's go then." Riccardo said. They both got out of the car and I waited in the car to give myself some pep talk. When Rodrigo saw that I was still in the car, he walked back and took my phone from me.

"Hey! Give that back!" I yelled. He started to run with Riccardo followed shortly. I started to run to them. My wounds have been healed pretty fast. My shoulder and ribs are a little sore, but nothing I can't handle.

"Rodrigo I swear I'll kill you in your sleep! Come back you idiot!" I ran after him through the front door.

When I almost reached him, he dodged and ran to the living room.

"You little piece of-" I was standing in the living room, my brothers looked at me with a amusing smile while I was watching sixteen new people looking at me.

"I'm sorry Isa, what was that?" Rodrigo asked amused. I gave him a glare and wanted to strangle him when a hand held me back.

For heaven's sake.

"Easy there koala, we don't want you to kill your brother now, do we?"

"Speak for yourself." I whispered but Riccardo and Emilio started laughing while the other people had smiles on their faces.

Except the three older men. They stayed staring at me with a cold look.

"Now why were you chasing your brother cariño?" Lorenzo asked amused.

"He was irritating me." I shrugged. I was getting more nervous as I could feel their eyes on me.

"We'll talk about this later. Isabella, I want you to meet your family." Lorenzo said with a small smile.

"Our father was a triplet. The joungest triplet is uncle Luigi. He has hotels and huge resorts all over the world. He owns a few businesses big and small. He's 48 years old and has five sons." He pointed to a huge ass man. I think about 6'5 who was smiling softly at me.



He gave me a small smile and I gave him a bigger one back what made him smile more.

"It's good to see you again, tesoro." He smiled.

"Italian? I thought you were raised in Spain?"

"Yes, we were partly raised in Spain, but also in Italy. We moved from Italy to Spain to Italy to Spain and so on." He smilled softly. I nodded at him

"Then we have his wife, Sofia. She owns seven fashion companies and has her own branch. She's 46 and she's best friend with your other aunt."

"Hello dear, you've grown so much!" She walked to me and gave me a hug. She was bigger than me, I think about 5'8. I hugged her back and when we broke our hug she smiled and I gave her a smile back.

"Boys! Introduce yourselves!" Sofia said to five boys.

"I'm Julio, the oldest one. I'm 26 years old, the same age as Lorenzo. It's good to see you again Isabella." He gave me a quick nod. He was almost as tall as his father and he had the same, powerfull aura around him like Lorenzo.



"Rocco, 20." He said uninterrested. Amazing, another Rodrigo.

I heard multiple chuckles and I knew I just said that out loud. Rocco had a little smile on his lips but it dissapeared pretty quickly. He was around 6'4 I think. He had a more 'whatever' vibe and I kinda liked it. He was the same age as Emilio

"I'm sorry about my brother Rocco, he's a little... rebels." Julio, the oldest one, said. Rocco gave him a fake smile and I was struggling not to laugh.



"Im Cameron, 18 years old and these are my triplets Carlos and Cayden." They were all about 6'4, the same height as Rocco and the same age as the twins.

Cameron:



Carlos:



Cayden:



Cameron and Cayden looked really sweet as they both game me a huge smile and I returned it. Something about Carlos made me think he was more of a Rodrigo-Rocco type. The badboy vibe.

"Your other uncle is the oldest triplet, uncle Romolo. He owns a lot of casinos, clubs, bars, fight clubs, shooting ranges and he also has his own competition where fighters over the whole world come to his fightclub to win a huge prize and title. He also has five sons."



He pointed to a scary man. Probably the scariest of them all. He was a good 6'5 and his aura demanded respect. He looked at me with cold eyes and I visually gulped.

"Honey, you're scaring the poor girl." A woman slapped his arm and smiled softly at her.

"Sorry about my husband, he's a four year old kid in a scary man's body. I'm his wife, Angelina." She walked to me and hugged me and I hugged her back.

"Don't worry about it." I smiled softly at her.

"So I'm your other aunt and the best friend of Sofia. I'm 45 and I owe three technology companies and I help with Sofia every now and then. I have five sons, Boys! Introduce yourselves!" She had the same aura as Sofia, sweet but demanding respect. Her and Sofia looked good for their age, she was about 5'7, I think.



She pointed to five boys behind her.

"I'm Vito, the oldest and the same age as Lorenzo and Julio." yeez, these three were almost triplets. They had the same tone in their voice, the same fashion style, same aura, same freaking height.

He gave me a small nod and I smiled at him.



"I'm Sergio, It's so good to see you again, Isabella! I'm 23 what makes me have the same age as your brother Matteo. I'm also a doctor just like him and I'm just so happy you're here!" He was a handsome, tall man. About a good 6'2 and his personality was an exact copy of Matteo's.

It wouldn't even surprise me if he gave good hugs.



"Next up is me, Santiago. I'm 18 and the only sane one that's 18 years old." He chuckled as I laughed my ass of.

"I like him." I said between my laughs and everybody looked at me in aw.

He was the same age as the twins and triplets and he was clearly the sane one. He was about 6'3 and had a huge smile on his face.



"I'm Luca and that's my twin Bruno. We're both 17." He smiled softly at me.

Luca and Bruno we're both I think the smallest with an height around 6'2. Luca looked like a pranker while Bruno gave me badboy vibes. Amazing.

"Hi." Bruno said dry and gave me an expression of 'don't really wanna be here'

So we have Rodrigo, Rocco, Carlos and Bruno to look out of. Peachy.

Bruno:



Luca:



"And lastly we have Grandpa and Grandma. They're 68 and 67, pretty joung because they were teenage parents." Lorenzo said. He pointed to the couple that was watching my every move.

"Oh Isabella! I've missed you so much! You have no idea how long I've waited for my baby girl." Grandma pulled me in a bone crushing hug and I returned the hug. Never have I hugged so much people as I did today.

"Look at you! such a beautiful lady. I'm sure you have a lot of boys behind you." She laughed and all they eyes of my brothers, cousins and uncles went dark.

I nervously laughed. "Not really."

"Isabella." Grandpa said calmly.

Everyone felt quiet and looked between me and Grandpa. Grandpa had an aura that demanded respect and domination. He looked like he was in his early fifties while he was in his late sixties. His eyes looked coldly at me.

"You have the eyes of your father." He said with a small hint of sadness. He must miss his son...

"Walk with me." He turned around and I looked at Lorenzo. He nodded me to follow him and I nervously followed my grandpa.

I have a grandpa.

I followed him all the way back to the garden and when I arrived, I saw that Luigi and Romolo were also there.

Good place to kill someone...

"Isabella." I walked closer to them and they knew I was nervous.

"How are your... brothers treating you." He spat the word brothers out like it was dirt and I immediately went in ninja modus.

"Listen closely, old man. My brothers have been the best brothers they could be. Yes, Rodrigo is a pain in the behind and he needs to get his head out of his ass, but he's still my brother. Next time you speak so low of my brothers, your grandchildren, I will whoop your ass. Fuck respecting your elders. Last time I checked, family support each other no matter what." I gave him a glare and after a while they all started smiling, even Romolo had a small smile on his lips.

"Sorry, tesoro. It was a test to see if family was important to you. We know you're brother would treat you right." Luigi patted my hair and I was speechless.

"Well, that was unexpected then." I said still staring right in front of me.

"Let's get back inside, little one." Romolo said.

"Hey! It's not my fault you're all giants. Share some height, will you?" I said playfully and Luigi laughed while Romolo had a small smile on his face.

I made them laugh.

I made Romolo smile.

Holy cheese balls-

"Let's go, princess." Grandpa placed his hand on my back and moved me back inside.

"And?" Sofia asked carefully.

"She pasted the test, she sure is a Castillo." Luigi said proudly.

"She even threatened papa to 'whoop his ass' if he talked bad about her brothers." Romolo laughed and send me a proud look. Everyone started to laugh and I looked at my brothers who were looking at me with adoration and pride. I couldn't stop the smile forming on my lips.

They were proud of me...

"Speaking about whooping ass, what is it that I heard about getting thrown out of class?" Lorenzo asked with one eyebrow raised.

"Funny story actually, he he erm, I might have done a little stunt." I laughed nervously.

"Explain." Lorenzo said stern. Everybody was looking between us.

"It's not my fault okay, I had Mrs. Makey for physics and she hates our guts." Lorenzo's face softened.

"What did you do?" He asked amused.

"She gave me a mission impossible. At least she thought. She told me to bring a measure device to school today that goes from 0 to 150 in seconds. I got her a scale in kilograms." I shrugged and all the joungest started to laugh their guts out while the older ones started to chuckle.

Romolo, Angelina, Luigi and Sofia shook their head in amusement while grandpa and grandma had huge smiles on their faces.

"Fine, you're not in trouble because it's Mrs. Makey, but don't do this again, cariño."

"I can't promise." I said with my hands in the air.

"Come on, koala. I need to treat your wounds-" Everyone stopped laughing at you could hear the clock tik. Damn it.

"Euh- from soccer. Nothing bad." Matteo said quickly.

"You really think you can lie to us, Matteo? Spit it out." Romolo said darkly.

"He's right, it's from soccer." I shrugged. He looked skeptical but let it slide. He glared at Lorenzo and I could see him gulp.

"Let's go koala." Matteo walked me upstairs and as soon we were in my room he started to apologize.

"Don't worry, Matteo. They'll know one day. I just didn't want it to be so soon. Do you think Romolo believed us?" I asked nervously.

"I don't think so. He's really good with reading people." Matteo said guilty.

"He needs to be patience with me if he wants to know the truth." I shrugged. Matteo did my wounds and walked out of the room so I could change in some more comfy clothes.

I heard the door open as Matteo stepped in.

"Matteo? Would they judge me if they knew the truth?" I asked as I turned around and then I stopped whatever I was doing.

"What truth?" Romolo asked.

It wasn't Matteo that came in my room.

It was Romolo.

Fuck
