"Oh sister,where were you?" Aiden asked Alissa.

"Around. So what did I miss? " she said.

"Well, I was having a moment with my sons before you decided to interrupt," Alexandro said.

" Right, I see you gave them gifts. Where is mine?" Alexandro gave her another box, which was the same as the ones he gave his sons.

"Let's see what's inside," she said and was about to open the box, but Alexandro stopped her and told her that they would open it later.

"Okay, so boys, I know I haven't been there for you as a father, so in order to make up for this, I will invest in all your businesses and let me tell you, you will be the first company I invest in something other companies could only dream of"

"We don't need that,"

"Don't be foolish, Aries, with our papa helping you no one will try to mess with you,"

"Alissa is right, Aries,"

"And if there is anything you need, basically anything at all, you could contact me anytime I will be happy to help," Alexandro continued.

"Thank you, Mr DeLeon," Aiden said.

"You don’t have to call me that. You can call me by my name or father just like Alissa if you don't mind."

" I think Alexandro will do," Aiden politely said. He can't just call the most dangerous man father right now.

"You mean we could even call you father in public?" Aries asked.

"I wouldn't actually recommend that because once my enemies know about your relationship with me, they will target you, which will put you guys in danger,"

"But doesn't that mean sister is not safe since people know she is your daughter?" Aiden asked

"Well, she is um already used to this, ever since she was a child she used to get kidnapped most of the times but everytime she will manage to escape by killing the kidnappers so now they don't dare mess with her, many people are afraid of her, and I guess you already know"

"Yep, they were afraid of me also the day they knew my identity," Alissa said, remembering that day.

"We-we weren't afraid, okay? we just didn't expect that," Aries lied.

"Oh really?" She said amused.

"What did you want us to do, I mean, we saw you chopping off Eric's head and ripping people's hearts to cry out loud," Aiden said, shuddering as he remembered that day.

"Oh, sorry, you had to see that," Alissa apologized, but the smile on her face made it impossible for her apology to sound sincere.

"Man, you were like a devil that day, I couldn't even recognize you. All those times you acted like a calm and quiet sister"

"You know what sounds unbelievable too, that day when I was ganged up inside the underground ring the hell angel decided to help, I didn't know that it was you at that time, I was confused why the infamous and feared hell angel helped me, it was crazy man"

"Well, you were getting yourself killed, so I thought I could help." Alissa shrugged.

"How did you know that I had a fight, though?" Aries asked.

"Asher came to me and told me,"

"Damn, everything makes sense now, I mean, the way you could get along with Asher on the second day of school. He already knew who you were, right?" He asked, and Alissa nodded.

"I can't believe I'm a f*cking fool. Every time I came home injured from the underground, you were always there waiting, bandaging my wounds, I never asked myself how you always knew."

"Asher told me that you sent people to save me when I went back to Spain. We actually thought we were the ones protecting you, but I guess it was the other way around," Aiden said.

"What's with you and Asher though, I mean, you seem closer," Aries asked.

"He's my man," Alissa answered, and Aries and Aiden said at the same time.

"What the f*ck"

"What did you say?"

"No, you can't be serious. You are not at the age to be having a f*cking 'man' right now, dad tell her," Aries turned to look at Alexandro. He didn't even notice that he called Alexandro dad. Alexandro, on the other hand, was surprised but didn't say anything.

"Well, what can I say. The 'man' himself has already captured my daughter's heart. Anything I say to oppose will just go on deaf ears." He quoted the word man.

"But she just turned 18 today," Aiden tried to reason, too.

"Look, I really agree with you guys on this, but I can't actually do anything. You could only try to make your sister change her mind," Alexandro said.

Aries and Aiden turned to look at Alissa at the same time to find that she was already daring them with her look to say anything.

"Look, sister, Asher is a very dangerous guy. He is a f*cking mafia king. You can't date him."

"Yes, sister, I even heard that he is a playboy, so maybe he's only playing with you," Aiden added, but he stood up and was taking steps back for 'safety' purposes.

"Dangerous? Do you want to experiment on how dangerous I could also be?" Her voice was so calm, unlike how it was before, and she stood up from the couch, taking few steps towards them.

Aries, too, stood up and took steps back away from her"No no no sister, there is no need for an experiment." He nervously chuckled.

"Let's forget I said this, okay? You two are truly a match made in heaven. "

"Yes, yes, a perfect match indeed," Aiden said.

"You said my man is a playboy, huh? You don't need to worry. I would take care of him myself if I find him cheating on me," she said.

The two sighed in their minds with the same thought,'Poor Asher, let's just hope he doesn't cheat on her."

"That's my girl," Alexandro smirked like a proud father.

"Okay, I guess we should go back downstairs now, Uncle Matteo and the cousins might be looking for us,"

"Yes, you're right," Aries said.

"Come here," Alissa gestured for them to come closer.

"Look, sister, we already left that topic," Aries said.

"Just come here," she smiled, and they hesitantly walked towards her. The moment they were close, she hugged them tightly, and they hugged her back.

"I really missed you guys," she whispered.

"We missed you so f*cking much too, sister," Aries said. Aiden, on the other hand, was silently crying.

"I actually missed the times we slept together on the same bed, the time we didn't know your identity," Aiden said.

"I could visit you sometimes. Nothing has changed at all," Alissa said, and they broke away from the hug.

Alexandro, on the other side, was just watching the triplets embracing one another. He, for once thought the decision he made a few years ago, the decision of sending Alissa to live with her brothers was worth it.

"Just remember I will always love you no matter what, and I will be looking out for you even from afar, alright?" she said, and they nodded.

"We love you too," Aiden said, and they both kissed her forehead.

"Alright, I guess this is it then. It was nice talking to you, and I hope we stay in touch." Alexandro said after a while.

"Yes." Aiden said.

"And I hope not, cause you failed to keep Asher away from my sister" Aries mumbled but they heard him anyway and he received a glare from Alissa and a regretful smile from Alexandro who also thought he actually failed to keep that Asher away from his daughter.

Aries ran out of the office because he couldn't stand the glare from his sister, Aiden followed behind him, chuckling at his brother.

Only Alexandro and Alissa remained inside the office.
