MAXIM'S POV ~_______~_______~

As soon as we got the call from a guard we had look after Verity that she was in the hospital, my heart dropped.

The hospital was 50 minute away from where we were, but since dad was driving and his daughter was hurt, it took around 20 minutes. Fun.

I was in a daze the whole way there. My little sister. She was hurting and in a fucking hospital bed right now.

I knew about her situation with her stepfather, John. We all knew. We helped her treat her wounds. We helped her get through it.

One fucking week with those idiot Italians, and she is already in the hospital. How can they have not noticed she was in pain? How did they not realize ?

When we arrived I swear there was about to be a fucking war. Dad was crazy. When him and the good-for-nothing Italian don were away to talk to the nurse, the Italians were glaring at me , Andrei, and Alexei.

"What is your relationship to my sister? How do you know her? What the fuck are you doing here, you scopate russe?"(russian fucks)

I glared daggers at the voice. Enzo, the eldest son of the Moretti family. He was powerful, he never let people walk under him. I admit, the first time I met him years ago, I was intimidated, even if he was somewhat harmless towards me. He was angry all the time and acted powerful. But it didn't take me long to realize it all an act. He couldn't do shiiit to me. Id have him on the ground in a fucking second. He is weak, he lets his emotions get the best of him.

"None of your business, засранец" (asshole.) I muttered, rolling my eyes. My face was blank and I made no facial expressions.

"It is my business. She is my sister and she is in the fucking hospital, then our second greatest fucking rival arrives and claims to know her!" Enzo yelled. He stood up, anger radiating off him. Like I said, he lets his emotions get the best of him. If we were to fight, he wouldn't be fighting to win. He'd be fighting out of anger, and anger is a very dangerous thing when not used correctly.

I sighed, "Sit the fuck back down."

He glared at me and was about to say something but was cut off as footsteps were approaching. He sat down and my father entered with Verity's sperm donor. He explained Verity's condition and I was heartbroken.

My little sister. I knew all this had happened to her, I helped her heal every time, but hearing it out loud- shit. I could tell my father and the sperm donor were holding back some things, they only told us that she had fractured ribs and a few injuries. But there was something big, I know it, and I will find out.

After a few dreadful minutes of glaring and waiting , the nurse came in and stated that Verity would like to see me, Andrei, Alexei, and my dad first. I gave the Italians a rather smug look as we walked to Verity's room. When I closed the door behind me, I could hear the Italians complaining.

Haha, Fuckers. She likes us better.

I carefully walked over to Verity, who was looking at us with a wide smile. It didn't quite reach her eyes, though.

"My favorite daughter, how are you feeling?" My father exclaimed.

"I'm your only daughter," she frowned.

"My favorite child, then."

"Wowww dad." I muttered. "Low blow, dude. Low. Blow." Alexei sighed. "Hey!" Andrei grumbled.

Verity chuckled at our reactions. "I'm fine dad. I just have a headache and I am a bit sore. I didn't think I'd pass out, god I'm embarrassed- in front of my fucking biologicals."

"Don't be embarrassed. If they give you a hard time, I will go full on black belt karate on their asses." Alexei said, showing off his karate moves.

He tripped over his own foot and fell onto the floor. We all laughed at his dumb actions and I smiled as I realized Verity was laughing- a real laugh. I'm glad we cheered her up a bit.

"I missed you guys so much. Come here, give me a hug." She jumped off the hospital bed and we all bundled up in a group hug.

"You shouldn't be on your feet, сестра." I frowned at her. (Sister).

She grumbled at me, "Shut up Maxim, im perfectly capable of putting my two feet on the ground."

"He is right моя любовь, you must be careful." My father frowned at her and he picked her up carefully, setting her on the bed. She pouted at him, causing us all to chuckle. (My love.)

She was a scary person sometimes, but the other times she acts so cute. Her mood swings are crazy, she acts like a murderer sometimes then turns into a fucking cinnamon roll. Like, what the fuck??

"Alright моя любовь. I better not see you lifting a finger the next few days. If you so much as suggest getting or doing something by yourself, you will officially be chained to this bed because my child will be relaxed and have no worries. You will stay in this hospital until the maximum days you are allowed, I am not taking any chances, you hear me?" My father growled at her. (My love.) Well, damn.

"Hey, you didn't act like this when I was in the hospital!" "What if I have to take a shit?"

Me and Verity said this at the same time. We looked at each other and I couldn't stop my laughter as I was rolling on the fucking floor.

Weirdo.

...

Did I just call myself a weirdo?

"Maxim, you were in the hospital for something stupid. You fell off the top of 38 stacked chairs because you thought it was "cool" and you wanted to be "the king of chairs." And Verity, somebody will carry you all the way to the door and back." Grumbled father.

"That's just weird! What the actual fu-" she cursed but Andrei cut her off.

"Finish that sentence, young lady, and we will have serious problems." He warned. She pouted again causing him to smile.

God, our family is weird.

"Come here you big scary teddy bear." She pouted at Alexei.

"Is she high on something?" Asked Andrei.

"Yea, oxygen." She laughed.

"We have a weird ass sister." I murmured.

"LETS GOOO!" Alexei jumped on the bed and lied down, grabbing her and cuddling her yet still being gentle with her so her ribs won't hurt. Scratch that, weird ass sister AND brother.

Me, Andrei, and dad laughed at the sight. Alexei was truly a big teddy bear. He loved hugs and physical touch so much, it was crazy. You need a hug? Go to Alexei. You want to cuddle? Alexei. You just want to be around an annoying person? Alexei's the right person to go to.

We all admired as Verity slowly drifted off to sleep in Alexei's arms. She looked peaceful. Alexei, too, started to drift off. Me , Andrei, and dad quietly shuffled out the room. No matter how much I hate them, her biological family would probably like to see her now and I had to let them.

Dad informed the Italians to be quiet when they go in the room. They were suspicious but nonetheless agreed. As they walked into her room, they sent us dirty looks and glares. Me, Andrei, and dad sat in the waiting room and were most likely staying up most of the night.

I hope my little sister is okay. She acts as if she is in no pain, but she is. She just knows how to hide it well.

She's just like me.
