"I'm sorry, I didn't want to talk to you like that on our first meeting but think about it carefully. You'll be put in the system if you don't come with me. Is that really what you want?" He said softly with an emotion I couldn't understand

I had to admit it though, he's right. I have to think logically and not emotionally right now. The decision I would make could change my life entirely

"Fine" I grumbled reluctantly

"Bambina it's for your own good. You'll be fine, you just have to trust me okay?" He said and I sighed. Trust...that's the hardest thing to do. You'll never know when someone's gonna stab you in the back

"What's your name?" I asked and I saw a flash of hurt in his eyes but it was gone a second later to be replaced with a blank stare

"I'm Emilio your fourth eldest brother" he said and it had me wondering how many brothers I have.

"Let's get you home to get your stuff hmm?" He said and I was about to go with him when I remembered I left my headphones in that woman's class

"Uhh I left something in my class I need to get it" I said and he nodded

"I'll come with you" he said and I walked into the class, interrupting her and she glared at me

"I thought I told you to get lost. Get put of here right now you imbe..." She got interrupted by Emilio who I didn't know entered the class

"You don't wanna complete that. Apologize to her now or else I'm gonna deal with you in the worst way imaginable" He said coldly and I saw fear in her eyes how beautiful...

"I..I'm s-sorry" she stuttered

"If you'd let me talk I was just here for get something. I'll be out of your life and class for good so keep your shit to yourself!" I told her

I took my headphones and we bother left not before Emilio got my math teacher fired. How much power does he have?. I mean he got a teacher fired by just simply glaring at the principal

When I got home, I quickly packed my bags and my mom's precious jewelry box she gave me when I was six. Trying my hardest not to cry, I went back to his car and he stared at my bag for a long time before speeding off to the airport

"You hungry?" He asked and my eyes widened in bliss. I hadn't eaten since a week because of Luke so food did sound delightful

"You're really Matteo's sister" he said with an amused smile on his face

Antonio's pov I was in an important meeting when all of a sudden I got a phone call. Shit; Alessandro looked at me and I gave him my phone and he excused himself. After sometime he came back with a panicked expression on his face

"This meeting is dismissed" I said and all of them gawked at me

"But sir..."

"Did I stutter?. Out now" I said coldy and they all scurried away. Alessandro was never known for panicking, seeing him like that, I knew it was something very important

"Bam... bambina" he mumbled and I straightened up in my seat. My heart beating loudly in my ears

"What do you mean?" I asked hurriedly

"Our sorella (sister), she...Emilia died and they want us to take her custody. We've finally found her...our bambina" He said with tears in his eyes. He never cries

"Of course we've finally got her back. Get Emilio, he'll go get her. Don't let the others know yet I want it to be a surprise for them" I said calmly but on the inside my heart was leaping with joy

When I was finally alone I let it out. The tears I kept in from the time she was taken away from us. I'm so happy it felt like my heart would burst

I wiped my tears quickly, no body can see the ruthless Don cry for any reason. After fifteen minutes, Alessandro walked in with a disheveled Emilio behind him. My poor brother, he stared at me with his teary eyes

"Is it true?" He asked and I nodded, seeing him break into a wide grin I chuckled

"My baby is finally coming back. God I missed her so much, how did Emilia die?" He asked

"Our spies in Russia informed me of what was going on, it was the Russians...they've been tailing Emilia. Her boyfriend Luke, is part of them, they've known about her existence from the very beginning

They killed Emilia so that Luke would be her legal guardian but we were quicker. They might pull something so we want you to go bring her back here immediately" Alessandro said and I nodded

"I'll leave right away but what if she doesn't want to come with us?. How will she react?..." Emilio freaked out and Alessandro had to hold his shoulder to snap him out of it

"She will. Don't stress" Alessandro said with so much certainty and I cocked my head to the side. Not that I doubt what he just said but how can he be so sure

"How do you know that?" Emilio asked the question that was currently running through my mind

"Let's just say it's a gut feeling but I'm positive she'll come with you. Now go and bring her back" Alessandro encouraged and Emilio grinned before running out

Alessandro faced me and grinned while wiggling his brows at me. I chuckled at his antics and gave him a big hug

"We're finally gonna get her back. Our bambina is finally coming back to us" he mumbled and I nodded

__________________________ Emilio's pov I quickly got into my car and drove to the airport as my knees bounce rapidly. Why am I so nervous, she's my baby sister she'll love me...I hope

The journey took forever before I finally set foot in London, where a car was already waiting for me. I've lost count of how many times we came to London but we never knew she was here...right under our noses

I drove to the address of the school and went to the principals office

"May I help you?" The man asked politely

"Yes umm my sister Gabriella De'Luca...I mean Gabriella Martin. I want to take her home" I said and I saw shock evident on his face

"I didn't know she had brothers" he said and I clenched my jaw. I don't have time for this

"Well you do now so please get her here" I said, trying to control the frustration in my voice

"Sir I can't do that, for all I know you could be a kidnapper, or..or a man wh..."

"You better watch your mouth when speaking to me. Get. Me. My. Sister. Now" I growled at him. He was about to say something but I cut him off

"Her mom's dead. Died from a car crash with a truck suffered internal bleeding blah, blah point is she's dead. So please get me my sister now before I play plastic surgery on your face" I said and he gulped, probably sensing how serious I am

"Gabriella Martin to the principal's office. I repeat Gabriella Martin to the principal's office" He said through the speaker but over sometime she still hadn't arrived, adding to my nervousness

"Why isn't she here yet!" I snapped at the man

"I- I don't know" he stuttered and I rolled my eyes

"Well then call her again are you dumb?" I said hurriedly and he nodded

"Gabriella Martin to the principal's office NOW" he said sternly and I scoffed, trying to hide my laughter. What an idiot

After what felt like hours of waiting a young petit girl walked in. She was so beautiful, her steel grey eyes staring daggers into the man's soul. She looks just like padre (father). She has grown so much without us, that hurt alot. I hope you burn in hell Emilia

"Take a sit Gab" the principal said and she glared at him which made me smirk in amusement

"It's Gabriella to you. Now why am I here?. If it's for punching the stupid Geography teacher then he deserved it. The pervert tried to harass a girl" she said coldly all the while glaring at her

She hasn't been with us for so long but she has already mastered the De'Luca death stare. She looks so cute, oh how I just want to hug and squeeze the life out of her

The principal explained everything to her and I could clearly see the tears in her eyes but it seemed like something was stopping them from falling

We tried to convince her, rather I did, the principal is a useless idiot. We barely have enough time if Ales was right about this being the Russians then they would definitely do something so I have to get her out of here quickly

I might have let my tongue slip when talking to her but it wasn't my fault. Here we were trying our possible best to find her only for that bitch of a mother to be filling her head with lies, making her think we didn't care about her

But then she threatened me. My bambina threatened me, I couldn't help the chuckle that left my lips at that moment. She looked like Antonio right now and he is one scary man. But still, she still looked cute, scary but cute

She gave me a look of disbelief and I tried again to see if she would budge. She seemed to be contemplating but luckily for me she agreed

______________________ Gabriella's pov Before we headed to the airport Emilio decided to take me to eat since i told him I wanted to

He took me to mc donald's and I eagerly ordered a mc furry, chicken nuggets and a happy meal. I digged in and boy I just love how all the flavors burst in my mouth. I stopped eating when I heard a deep chuckle and a light flashed in my eyes. I turned to see Emilio holding up his phone

"What?!" I growled at him. I hate it when people watch me eat, I don't know why it's just something about it doesn't sit well with me, having someone watch me I mean

"Nothing you just look so cute" He squealed, how can a grown man squeal?

"I'm not cute" I said glaring at him. I swear if he weren't my brother I would have put a bullet in his head already!

"Yes you are" He said and reached out to pinch my cheeks but froze as he stared at something behind me. I tried looking back but he held my face

"Don't look back, we have to leave. Come on!" He said and pulled me up as we ran towards the car

"What's going on?" I asked, barely managing to keep up with his long legs running and then I heard a gunshot. Oh shit!

"Shit come on!" Emilio cursed and literally pushed me into the car and he sped off like crazy. I turned around and saw some cars behind us

"Emilio we're being followed" I said and he looked through his side mirror and cursed profusely
