AUTHOR'S POV -

Alessandro and dad both of them were shocked . Dad was the first one to get our from the shock. Dad- isa, baby you can speak? (It's comes out more like statement than question) I didn’t said anything just nod my head Alessandro- so , why you didn’t said anything before? (How can I tell them I was afraid, afraid of their reactions, afraid what if they don’t accept me nad besides that mom has already made it clear to them that I cant speak. I know I have ,many chnaces to say that I can speak, but I didn’t tell them the truth,someone holds my softly hand I look up it was dad. ) Dad- isa, no one will get angry with you baby, hmm, tell us isa you can talk preety well, why did you didn’t tell us earlier. I debate for few minutes to tell them the truth or not, I decide I will tell them the truth , they are my family, they wont harm me, and sinec I have come here they have been nothing bs just nice to me. I took a deep breathe and said- Isabella – I was afraid. Dad- why are you afraid baby ? and from who are you afraid ? ( he took a minute pause ) are you afraid of us ? I nod my head in no Isa baby if you don tell us anything how could we know, but dad have one question will you answer it ? Isa- yes ! Dad- why did your mother said that you can't talk? Does she knows that you can talk ? Isa- no, she thinks I can't talk Dad- why did you hide such a big thing isa Isa – I…. i… I cannot tell you anything now , just give me some time I will tell everything please. He took a deep breathe Dad- okay isa (I can see through corner of my eyes alessandro wanted to tell something but dad stopped him . I cannot tell how grateful iam for dad ) Isa –ummm, can you please don’t tell anyone about this Alessandro – but why baby ? don’t you want your other brother's and your mother to know that you can speak Isa – umm..hmm!!! Its not like this, its just I am not ready yet and secondly I am the on who should tell them. Isn't it ? I look at them hopefully…. Dad – okay isa as you wish, but you have to promise us you will do it soon , you won't take too much time. I nod my head . Alsessandro- preety well ,so as of know you can speak so there is one more rule for you ( I look at him to continue ) so, your last rule is 'whenever we ask or something you not answer in nod , you have to speak ' Isa- NO Alesandro- and may I know why is that ? Isa – its just , I haven’t talked in a long time and its hard for me to talk , even I can't express my feelings properly. I said and looked down , my eyes has already turned glossy, I don’t want them to think iam weak. Alessandro – this is rule and you have to follow it. ( he said in a no nonense tone ) ( I slumped in my chair ) Isa – what if I don’t follow the last rule? Alessandro, well for that there will be punishment. Isa – what type of punshiment ? Alessandro – grounded, and time out depend on your performance. Well, that not a punshimnet it’s a reward for me. Time out and grounded well alessandro don’t know but I am an expert in both of these punishement. No on talks to me anyways and about being grounded hahh! Most of the time I stayed at home alone,unknowingly I smile came into my eyes. Isa- I accept these punishment. Alessandro – don't be so happy baby, your punishment includes taking away all your books and your guitar. I looked at him wide eyes. That’s not fair Alessandro – well everything is fair. Isa – but, atleast … Alessandro – he stopped me at mid sentence, that’s all you can leave. Dad was about to speak but I stood up to leave the room I am controlling my self,I dont want to cry infront of anyone , I just want to go to my room and cry my heart out.

Authors pov –

While going to her room Isabella crashed into someone she didn’t see who it was but she said sorry and ran to her room. That person was Charles, Charles saw her baby is crying he was furious, he ,messaged to his brothers to come into dad's office. And he barged into the office. He saw both his dad and brother are discussing something. Alessandro looked at the person who dare to enter without permission he looked at the personm and it was his brothers Charles, he raised his brow . Alessandro- it must be something important that you have to enter like this. What is it ?? Charles- let everyone come . He took a deep breathe to control his anger. After few minutes everyone enters in his office. Charles – may I know what did you talk to isa? Alessandro – and may I know why i will tell you that ? Charles – I saw her crying.

That’s it!! Just four words are enough to create a havoc inside the office !!

Jasper- I should go to her, she must be crying soo much , of my baby sis. Jasper didn’t wait for anyone and rush to his sister room. Edmund- why the hell she was crying, and dad you are here too, then how can you ? Everyone looked at him Isn't he is the rude one among the all even more than Charles Edward – getting protective!! Huhh!! Aren't you are the most rude to her even more than Charles ( before Charles could answer him ) Edmund- well, talking to her it shouldn’t be your concern, ( before they could argue any further alesandro decided to speak ) He sighed and said , it was because of some rules.

Alessandro was confuse how to tell his brothers that why their sister cried without breaking her promise, he looked at his dad hopefuuly.
