Third Person's POV

"I am sorry to say this Mr.Moretti but your daughter is suffering from an eating disorder i.e Anorexia Nervosa."

All the grown up Moretti's froze in their places after listening to Dr.Alia's words.

Their heads snapped in Valentina's direction who was just looking down with clenched fists.

A very tense atmosphere waved in the cabin as the Moretti's men's heart clenched in pain & worry for their principessa.

Pain--because they wish that they found their princess soon.

Worry--because their only daughter & sister is suffering from such an eating disorder.

After a few minutes of utter awkward silence Alessandro finally broke it by saying.

"Continue and elaborate about this eating disorder." Alessandro ordered, coldly.

"Okay. As you see no one gets anorexia that easily. It happens in the cases mostly where one is being starved badly which leads to one to get immune to having a small appetite for food. Their stomachs just don't appreciate eating the normal amount of food a normal person does as they just got used to having little food consumption day-by-day." Dr.Alia said professionally yet calmly.

Moretti's men's jaw clenched thinking how their princess was left alone to starved by those fuckers.

"Anorexia also happens when one is starving themselves by their own will and the reason can be to be fit in today's body types." Hearing this Alessandro looked in Valentina's direction who felt her elders brother's stares and as if sensing what her brother was thinking Valentina shook her head as a 'no' telling him that's not the case in her matter.

Alessandro understands it but that doesn't mean he was happy to know that his only little sister was anorexic.

"But Miss.Valentina confirmed that she was not self-starring herself. She was being left over to starve." Dr.Alia said, trying to keep her voice steady & calm. She knew how tense the air was becoming by each passing second.

She was well aware that a wrong word about her patient's health which happens to be a 'Italian Mafia Princess' she will lose her job & life both in an instant so she was being extra careful for her own good.

"There is one more thing I need to say about Miss.Valentina." Dr.Alia exclaimed while glancing at the youngest Moretti who just stiffened more hearing from her doctor.

"What is it ?" All the three Moretti men asked at the same time.

Third Person's POV End's

Valentina's POV

"What is it ?" I heard them asking and I gulped hard.

My whole body was already frozen in nervousness & anticipation.

Looking at my father & brothers reaction they weren't any just upset they were more than just upset.

Their eyes were pooling in both anger & sadness mostly anger though !

Their jaws & fists clenched tightly as if they were really trying hard to control themselves not to scream in front of me.

"Miss.Valentina--" Dr.Alia started as I drew back from my thoughts and kept looking down.

They will know now !

About my--

"She is also suffering from a sleeping disorder i.e insomnia." A heavier silence took over the cabin after those words were uttered by her.

"There is more--" She got cut off by Alessandro.

"Now more what ?!" Dr.Alia literally flinched because my elder brother snapped at her with greeted teeth.

And he looks scary now !

A dark & scary heat was vibrating from Alessandro not only him but the other two as well.

If glares can kill then definitely Dr.Alia must be dead by now.

Looking at her she was on the verge of fainting though.

"S-She told me that s-she s-suffered from sleep p-paralysis as well. 2 times to be precise." Dr.Alia said while trying her best to keep her voice calm & professional but failed stuttering.

"Anorexic ? Insomniac ? Sleep paralytic ? What the---" I heard Dante mumbling in his deep voice. He sounded disbelief & maybe something else as well.

I glanced at him to see him looking down at his shoes whereas Alessandro & father were looking at Dr.Alia with their jaws clenched blank faces.

I looked down as I felt vulnerable. My family knows half of my miseries.

Are they angry at me ?

Do they find me pathetic now ?

I can't help but think negative even though they didn't give out much reaction other than anger in their eyes.

I don't know how they will treat me after getting to know about my abusive past.

Will they get disgusted by me ?

Will they think that I am a burden to them ?

Will they l-leave me ?

Just the thought of the last question made me shiver & scared.

No ! Please after a long time I found myself getting enveloped by the warmth of my real family and I didn't want it to go away from me.

I came out from my thoughts when I heard my elder brother speaking in his cold voice.

"Anything else ?"

"No, sir. That's all." Dr.Alia replied, curtly.

"Start the treatment for her." Alessandro ordered, his voice was just plainly cold without letting out any emotions that I can know or have any idea about.

"I want my daughter to get well as soon as she can so make sure you give the best treatment to her." Father said, firmly.

My heart swells in warmth as I hear those words from my elder brother & father.

They care about me !

They want me to get healthy !

"Of course Mr.Moretti. I will." Dr.Alia said, firmly yet professionally.

"Valentina." Suddenly Alessandro called and I looked over to him who was already looking at me with his dark brown eyes.

"Y-Yes ?"

"Go out and wait for us." He practically ordered and I just nodded my head and said "okay" and moved towards the door.

"Dante you go out as well and be with her." Father said and I halted for a second before leaving the cabin.

I came out and I felt the presence of Dante behind me before I heard him saying.

"Sit down here."

I turned to him and saw him pointing towards the benches that were just outside the cabin and without saying a word I took the seat.

I quietly looked down at my lap and played mindlessly with my fingers.

I wonder what Alessandro and father wanted to talk about with Dr.Alia ?

Stupid me ! Ofcourse it is about me & my miserable health.

I glanced up at Dante who was already looking at me and I looked away from him. He was leaning on the opposite wall with his arms crossed and his iconic straight handsome face was there like always.

He didn't say anything after his whisper and I wonder why ?

What's going on in his mind ?

Nevermind I am still angry at him. Hmp !

Valentina's POV End's

Alessandro's POV

The moment the cabin's door closed behind Dante & Valentina I turned my attention back to the Dr.Russo.

"Now speak in detail about her health." I ordered.

Truth to be said, I just want to dig out those two fuckers bodies from under the ground and torture them just the way they torture my little princess.

They made her starve !

And now she is suffering from such a dangerous eating disorder.

She also has sleeping problems too.

What else now ? And why ?

My princess doesn't deserve this.

She fucking doesn't.

Damn it !

"Miss.Valentina is under weight for her age. She is weak physically." Dr.Russo stated and we just nodded, signaling to her to continue.

"What's the reason behind her sleeping problems ?" Dad asked even though his voice was cold as ice I knew internally he was breaking apart seeing his only precious daughter suffering so much from such a young age.

Our principessa is just 15 for god's sake and she has to face this fucking disorders !!

"The reason behind can be the less intake of food in her system." Dr.Russo replied.

"I had checked her blood pressure earlier and it is low which is not good." She said. I took a deep breath to control my fury.

"I had taken her blood sample as well. Just so we can be sure that she is not suffering from any blood problems."

I fucking hope the results came out good or else I don't know what I am going to do.

"The results will take some time and I will let you know once it is out." We nodded our heads.

"As you know, the things which Miss.Valentina is suffering aren't small. At her age this is not good at all." She stated and we listened quietly while our hearts were burning in pain for our principessa.

"You need to be careful for her health because if this all continues I am afraid that it will cause great damage to her than it is already doing."

I closed my eyes momentarily as I am fucking scared.

Italian Mafia Don is scared !

But can you blame me ?

Here I am scared to lose my only little sister life.

"We will." I heard dad say and I looked at him.

"We will be extra careful from now onwards. Just tell us what we should do and what not. How do we take care of her when she is going through her treatment ?" Dad said as his voice held the determination.

He is determined to take care of his only daughter and I am as well including our rest of our brothers who are ready to do anything for our only sister.

"Mr.Moretti, there will be a lot of changes both in her physical & mental states. Miss.Valentina will be under medications that will make her have mood swings specially in her period days." Dr.Russo started.

"My princess has her first period already and I wasn't there for her." I heard dad's mumbling under his breath but I heard him due to my sharp ears.

I hold his hand and give it a little squeeze. It makes me sad as well knowing how much we have missed things about our only princess.

13 years long. That's how much we had missed in her life.

And that's all because of that crazy wile woman who is unfortunately our aunt.

"Mr.Moretti's you need to start to make sure that the intake of the food she takes increases day-by-day but make sure you don't force her to eat more. Take it slowly. Let her digestive system be aware of the increase of the food slowly so she doesn't end up throwing like she did as you told me earlier."

"We need to get her to gain weight. Her being under weight for her age is not good as it can attract more diseases."

Right ! Now I think about it. When I picked her up when I met for the first time in New York she was so light but I didn't notice it because I was just so worried & happy at that time.

Dad & I nodded, simultaneously.

"She has told me she normally has 2 hours of sleep."

What ? Just 2 hours ? Fuck !

"And that is bad for her health. So I will prescribed her sleeping pills but with low power as I don't want her to get dependent on it and neither do you both allow her." We nodded in agreement.

"Don't give her the pill with an empty stomach. I will stop the sleeping pill intake once I see her health is getting better. Try to sleep by herself as long as she can. It will take time as well but we need to be patient with her. Her insomniac is quite high."

"And if she gets stressed about anything which will eventually lead her to be deprived of sleep more so make sure she doesn't get too much stress over. "

Dad & I nodded and I already started to make plans in my mind how to keep her away from the so-called tension.

Her elder brother is alive and until then she doesn't stress over anything. I won't allow her.

I am here to finish the reason behind her stress both physically & mentally. Period !

"As days passed by I am sure her insomniac will reduce but I am afraid that it will trigger her sleeping paralysis. She told me she has a sleep paralysis attack 2 times and both times the experience of them was really frightening for her which is true. She also told me that after those attacks she wasn't able to sleep well for 1-2 weeks as she was so afraid to be in that paralysed state."

My heart clenched tightly in pain knowing my princess was suffering so much and I wasn't there for her.

I wasn't there when my little sister needed me the most.

I wasn't there to hold her trembling figure in my protective arms.

I wasn't there !

And it makes me feel pathetic to the core that I cannot explain in simple words.

"In sleep paralysis, one's brain is active while the whole body is still in sleep mode. So the body cannot move or do anything. One can get scary hallucinations for instance, like someone is watching them, someone is hovering above them or strangling them,etc but in reality nothing is happening like that it's all just the hallucinations that their brain is playing with them."

"What should we do when she faces this paralytic attack ?" Dad asked.

"To help her you need to wake her up. You need to make her realise that whatever she is seeing isn't real and that it's all just fake. But what I recommend is the most if she fights the sleep paralysis attack by herself. I had told her what she should do when she faces one. It is just temporary which happens for a few minutes but can be very frightening but if she tries to tackle it down by herself I am sure she can overcome the sleep paralysis by herself only."

Dad & I shared a look before nodding.

"Okay. Is that all ?" I asked.

"Yes. I will message you the medicines she needs to take, at what time, etc." Dr.Alia said and we nodded and got up from our seats as she did too.

"Message us beforehand for her appointments in the upcoming future." I ordered, sternly and she nodded, positively.

We turned around and walked out of the cabin. I know one thing is roaming in both of our minds.

Like how will others react when they will know from what-what things our only princess is suffering.

Alessandro's POV End's

Valentina's POV

I stood straight when Alessandro & father came out. Their faces were unreadable.

"Let's go." Father said as he grabbed my hand in his and started walking. I looked back to see Alessandro saying something to Dante but I didn't hear it properly as I was already far from them.

We reached near our limo and got in and after a few minutes my elder brothers got in as well.

The limo started to move and I sat quietly. None of the three said a word the whole ride. Alessandro & Dante were busy on their phones while my father & I were looking outside the window. But I can see the father was in deep thoughts as a frown was present on his face, unconsciously.

He was also holding my hand tightly. Like I will vanish if he leaves it.

And it made me more curious that whatever Dr.Alia said to him, he is taking it really seriously.

I want to assure him that I am okay as long as he is with me but I just sat silently.

I was tired and I just wanted to lay in my bed. I didn't sleep a wink the whole night because I was just so nervous & scared about my dark past being revealed to my real family and I ended up staying wide awake in my room.

After sometime, we finally reached our mansion and got down from the limo one-by-one. We walked inside and to my surprise everyone i.e my remaining brothers were already present there.

They all looked in our direction once they noticed our presence.

I am sure they are eager to know about my fucked up health.

Before anyone can say something or I can announce my departure to my room. Father speaks up.

"Valentina, you go and rest in your room. I will send you lunch in your room itself and have it how much you can okay, tesoro ?"

"Okay." I agreed and I was actually thankful to him.

I wasn't ready to see the reactions of my remaining brothers. Besides he was not forcing me to eat more and telling me how much I wanted to eat.

That's sweet & caring of him !

Valentina's POV End's

Third Person's POV

As soon as Valentina left every Moretti brothers except Alessandro & Dante looked at their father with eyes that demanded to know what had happened.

Leonardo took a seat on the couch along with Alessandro & Dante and other followed soon by.

"Dad, we want to know each & every detail." Luciano stated, firmly.

Truth to be said, Luciano was the one most who was blaming himself. How didn't he noticed that his little sister was overeating ?

Maybe because he was so blind in the happiness of the returning of his little doughnut.

It also touched his heart that his sister overeat herself just because she didn't want to hurt his feelings.

Leonardo looked at his youngest son, Francesco and open his mouth to tell him to leave but Francesco beat him to it.

"Please, dad let me stay. I want to know about my sisy's health so I can help her. Please."

Leonardo sighed, nodding his head. He started to explain everything that he got to know in the Dr.Russo's cabin.

His heart felt heavy. He tried his best to keep his voice stable infront of his sons but the way his elder son hold his hand and give a squeeze to it he knew his son can see how hard was it for him to speak about his only precious daughter's terrible health.

Soon he completed his dreadful narration and a heavy yet painful silence took over the luxurious living room of Moretti's Mansion.

CRASH !!

All eyes moved to the marbel floor where the expensive vase from France layed. Totally scattered into small pieces. Beside the broken vase stood Xander Moretti who was breathing, heavily.

No one was shocked to see that reaction coming from Xander. Everyone knew he was going to do something like that. They expected it already.

Leonardo looked around and observed how his sons had quite different reactions from eachother.

Luciano was holding his head and looking down.

Matteo & Massimo were shocked at their places.

Xander was glaring at the floor precisely at the scattered pieces of the expensive french vase.

Galene was looking at his lap with clenched fists.

Francesco sat quietly with his closed eyes.

Alessandro & Dante were silent but their eyes held the darkness of fury.

Leonardo's has seen his sons with such emotions that held rage, pain & numbness after so long. After their mother's death his sons had entirely locked their feelings.

Maybe some of sons show that they are fine but he knew. He fucking knew that none of his sons were fine.

Leonardo, himself wasn't okay !

"M-My sisy is g-going through so much ?" A quiet whisper left Francesco's lips.

Francesco opened his eyes and looked at his dad whose heart pinched in pain seeing the moist teary eyes of his youngest son.

Francesco was young who was still learning how to hide his emotions but he failed knowing his only sister who he adore so much is suffering so much and that he wasn't there for her.

"W-Why dad ? M-My sisy doesn't deserve to face all this sh*t." Francesco spoke with so much pain in his voice that broke the hearts of his father & brothers.

"She fucking doesn't." To everyone's surprise Xander spoke those words.

Xander, who stood tall with clenched jaws took a step to leave from that suffocating place.

He was feeling guilty and cursing himself for saying those hurtful words to his sister who was already suffering so much.

"Get you ass back here. Do not leave. I am not complete yet." Leonardo's hard voice roamed in the silent living room.

Xander ceased but didn't sat back on his place and kept glaring down at the marbel floor.

How much rageful he was. He wasn't going to disrespect his father he had to remind himself that.

"I know you all are upset to know that Valentina--our principessa is suffering like these but we can't change the past but we can definitely work on our present." Leonardo said, his voice grave & stern.

"From now onwards, we have to make sure that she progress in her poor health. We need to take care of her. She needs us and we have to be there for her this time."

Moretti's brothers engraved their father's words in their hearts and silently promised themselves to do as he said.

They are going to take care of their little sister with all they have.

They are going to be there for their sister this time without fail.

"We are going to make our principessa's health our main priority, are we clear ?" Leonardo asked, his voice held grave & heavy that weighed on the Moretti's brothers hearts who spoke in union.

"Yes dad, we are. Our principessa is our first main priority from now on wards. We will be there for her and protect her like a shield."
