"Okay but you asked for it" Xander said and we stood opposite each other.

I quickly examined his posture and stance and immediately knew where to strike. He was limping on his left leg lightly probably from a fight

I didn't make any move and I could see that it began to irritate him. So he threw a punch, leaving himself open and I jabbed him on his ribs and he staggered back

He recovered quickly and threw a kick but I blocked it and punched his face sufficiently breaking his nose and he groaned as he held his bleeding nose

I didn't give him a chance to recover and kicked him in his abdomen and he stumbled back. I kicked his left knee and he fell on the other knee

Without giving him a chance to recuperate, I did a round house kick and knocked him down. I sat on him smirking

"You should never underestimate your opponent" I told him and gave him one last hard punch before getting off him

I looked down at him to see him struggling to breathe and I smirked in achievement. Still got it...

I helped him up and he glared at me lightly before spitting the blood out of his mouth and giving me a lazy smirk

"Thanks for the good fight, I must say you're pretty good. Your punches are heavy for such a small body" he said and patted my head

I turned and saw all my other brothers gawking at me with wide eyes and jaw hung open

"What the fuck just happened?. Xander is one of our best in hand to hand combat and our little sister just beat his ass" Xavier said in bewilderment and I chuckled

"Now that everyone's doubts are cleared, you'll start training from tomorrow bambina" Antonio said with a warm smile and I smiled widely, squealing in excitement

I don't know what came over me but I ran to him and threw my hands around him, shocking him and the others but his hands immediately wrapped around me

"Thank you so much!" I yelled in his ear and he winced

"Are you trying to get me deaf bambina?" He asked chuckling and I clung tighter to his frame

"Someone's excited" Domenico said and ruffled my hair making my smile turn into a frown

"Of course I always dreamed of beating the shit out of people and not get arrested" I said and they laughed

"You're something else bambina" Alessandro said placing a kiss on my head

"What positions do you all have in the mafia?" I asked curiously and they smirked

"Well our dear brother Antonio is the Don" Domenico said and I stared at Antonio with wide eyes before screaming loudly, hugging him tighter, he laughed and let me cling to him

I don't know why I'm doing this really. I want to keep my distance because you'll never know who'll betray you. I don't trust people easily so why do I feel like trusting them?

"Alessandro is the second in command. I am the third in command and the tech producer, hacker and I basically operate everything that has to do with our security system

Emilio is the leader of the hand to hand combat section. Leo specializes with guns, he makes some pretty cool guns for the mafia and is also the main doctor of the mafia

Stephano specializes with knives. The twins and Matteo are still in training. Which one do you wanna learn first bambina?" Domenico explained

"I love knives they hurt more. I wanna learn that first" I said and he just stared at me

"Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked

"You sure you're a fifteen year old?. Not that I'm judging or anything but kids your age would freak out at the mention of mafia but you love it and choose to study the most brutal part first" He said and I chuckled in agreement

"Yeah I've always been the weird one. Things like this just pique my interest" I said and they hummed

"Okay so tell us about your school" Leonardo said trying to keep the conversation going

"Umm there's not much to tell. I was usually quiet, I didn't have friends because I didn't want any. I'm mostly out if trouble unless someone decides to piss me off and then I just let the demon come out to play" I explained

"What do you do to the people who piss you off bambina?" Matteo asked with a slight look of fear

"It's nothing much. If it's a girl then I'd rip out her hair and slap the shit outta her. If it's a guy then I'd give him a few punches here and there and stump on his family jewels until they can't move" I stated simply and they stared at me in shock

"That's dark bambina. I see you're another Xander" Alessandro said with a chuckle

"But please don't tell me you bully people" Emilio said with an emotion I couldn't understand swirling I'm his eyes

"Of course not. I'm the one who had to bother about bullying" I said quietly but because the room was quiet they heard me

"What do you mean?" Xander asked, a dark look in his eyes. His muscles flexing in anger

"Well it's not really important before some students used to bully me until one day I snapped and beat them up. I ended up putting one guy in a coma. After that day no one dared to even look at me anymore" I said and flinched slightly when Antonio patted my back where a large wound was but I was lucky that they didn't notice

"Why didn't you do anything earlier?" Xander asked again

"Because I figured it didn't really matter at that time so I just got used to it" I said and he flared up

"You don't just get used to it. You have teachers, fuck you got a principal. Why didn't you tell them instead of getting used to it!" He growled in anger

"They don't care" I said stoically

"Why is that?" Leonardo asked and I just shrugged and headed upstairs

"Hey come back here and tell us everything right now!" Stephano yelled and I turned back to glare at him

"Watch it Stephano. I'm not one to tolerate shit, nor can I control my anger so it's best if you stay out of it" I spat out

"Gabriella I said no disrespect to any of your brothers and last time I checked Stephano is your brother" Antonio said coldly but I was done with that shit

"Oh give me a break, some brother he is. I ain't just gonna pretend like everything's alright!" I yelled anger consuming me

"Gabriella you will apologize to Stephano and you will tell us what you mean now" Antonio ordered and I glared at him in anger

"I'm not going to say sorry. I want you all to get one thing straight, i won't tolerate any of you trying to force me to do anything. You're never gonna get anything out of me unless I want to tell you. Don't push it or you'll be shocked by how fast I'll hate you" I said not tearing my gaze away from Antonio. I glared at him for a while before walking upstairs

I got to my room and lay down on my soft bed, thinking about what just happened. I knew I shouldn't have spoken to them like that but they pushed too far

My thoughts were cut off by a call and I looked at my phone and winced. It's Enzo, I can't imagine how mad he is right now

"Uh hey!" I said nervously

"Gabriella Alisa Martin!" He yelled and I winced at how loud his voice was

"Not my middle name" I said and I imagined him glaring at me

"Do you know how worried I was about you. You suddenly disappeared, you weren't at your house. Where the fuck are you?. You couldn't think to call me!" He yelled again and I felt guilty because I knew he was genuinely worried

"I'm sorry Enzo I know I messed up. Alot happened and I guess I just forgot to call I'm really sorry" I said and he sighed

"What happened?" He asked

"Umm mom died and I found out I have nine brothers who happen to have my custody. Things have been going too fast I'm sorry I forgot to call you" I said and the line went silent

"What. How did she die?" He asked his voice breaking lightly. Enzo loved my mother alot like his own mother

"A truck ran her taxi over" I said feeling my heart ache remembering her

"So you have brothers. So what's your real surname?" He asked

"My surname is De'Luca" I said

"You don't mean The De'Luca right?" He asked

"Umm yeah" I said

"Bitch you're the missing italian mafia princess. Who would've thought that the missing girl would be you" he said and i could sense his excitement from here

"Okay forget about that how are they treating you?" He asked and I paused

"Well they are pretty nice. But sometimes they can get really overbearing" I said

"If they ever hurt you in any way tell me and I'll come get you. I can keep you safe" he said softly

"I'm fine but okay" I said

"So did you tell them what you do?" He asked and I froze contemplating. I never actually thought of telling them what I do

"No of course not. That's between me and you. No one can know who I really am" I whispered

"Okay. Should I look for some missions there in italy. I know a guy who can hook you up on some fights and races" he offered

"Not now I need to lay low for now. I'll let you know when I'm ready" I said and he hummed

"Okay please call me everyday. I wanna know how you're doing, take care of yourself. I love you" he said

"I love you too" I said with a smile and hung up. Talking to him really made me feel better

I heard a knock on my door and my mood instantly changed. The door opened to reveal Stephano's face
