Ezaikel

I stared at Vincent with wide eyes as he told me what happened when I was gone..

"So don't say something that's gonna make her think of yesterday night.. We can't make her think of those until we are sure what actually happened.. "

Vincent explained grabbed a towel to go to shower..

"Vincent... "

He looked back at me and raised a brow..

"I think I fucked up already.. "

He frowned and walked towards me..

"What.Did.You.Do? "

I gulped and explained the argument and he punched me..

"If something happens, I'll skin you alive not giving a fuck that you're my twin.. And Xander and Antonio will stitch you back for Dante to do it again.. Dad will chop you off.. "

I gulped and he shook his head..

"You better apologize and turn the story or I'll burn you down.. "

He stormes to the bathroom and I huffed... But I felt rage to think what she went through.. I am so sorry tesoro.. '

Dante

I paced back and forth in my room not being able to sleep.. How can I sleep though? At first the footage and then Mirabella's condition and then George stuff.. I lit up mu cigarette and took a few blow.. Only if I understood the signs earlier.. I was busy with dad for training.. He started my training when I was 8 years old to shape me perfectly for the next Capo.. I met less and less with mom.. We grew distant and I saw her saddening because of that.. But maybe she understood that that's what needed and never complained.. But I noticed she suddenly started distancing herself.. She wasn't herself anymore and even ignored dad.. I thought she was only mad at dad but didn't comfort her because I was too busy.. And suddenly mom was gone..

Only if I had comforted her and stayed with her, maybe she wouldn't have left and Mirabella would've been with us then.. Whatever she went through, she wouldn't have gone through that.. All there years of agony wouldn't have happened..

I crushed the burned out bud and pulled out the bottle of Tequila and poured a glass when I heard a knock.. I glanced at the clock which showed past 1 am.. I frowned and opened the door and my heart melted seeing the person..

"Bambina... ? "

Mirabella

Grandma left long ago and I only tossed around.. It's past 1 am and I sat up.. Sleeping in this room is impossible after the argument with Ezaikel.. Also I am disturbed with what happened last night.. Why can't I remember?

I slowly got up and hissed in pain.. I limped while getting out of the room.. I walked out and looked in the hallway.. There were manu rooms which I didn't know which was whose.. I actually know nothing about this house.. But I walked towars towards the last room.. Maybe dad is in the room like the previous house.. I knocked and it took a minute before the person opened the door.. I was greeted with the smell of alcohol and cigarette and a familiar smell of Cologne..

"Bambina.. ? "

Dante stood there and I smiled..

"Um..I thought it's Dads room.. Sorry to disturb you but Do you know where dad is..? "

He smiled back at me..

"No problem baby.. You can come to me whenever you need.. Dads on another floor.. Do you need something? "

I really can't go to another floor by myself so I had to ask him..

"Ah... I can't sleep so.. Umm... I'll just go to dad.. Can you take me there? "

He stared for a minute..

"You want to go to dad because you can't sleep? "

I nodded and he pushed the door open further.. "Why not come to my room? Dads probably sleeping.. I'll cuddle you.. "

That'll work but the smell of alcohol and cigarette really don't make sense to sleep..

I scrunched my nose and looked inside his room.. He seemed to take the hint and quickly went inside to close the bottles and threw away few things and tidied the room before helping me in.. He made me sit in the bed which really was comfortable and walked in the washroom..

Dante

I brushed my teeth and changed my clothes to fresh once.. I know dads awake and Mirabella being with him will help him to stress less but I want to be selfish and keep her to me tonight.. Dad maxed his time with Mirabella and even held her for 10 hours straight.. Mira holding was a thing but he didn't let me touch her too.. Not me but anyone and told us to fuck off.. I got out and saw her looking around the room..

"Do you like it? "

I asked and she nodded cutely..

"It's cool.. Is you room in the other house same? "

She asked and I shook my head..

"No.. That's more cooler.. After all that's where we live most of the time.. Here, we come for annual visit.. "

She nodded..

"Where is this place by the way? I never knew New York had this big house.. "

She blinked innocently and I cursed at myself.. She still doesn't know that we are not in New York? Fuck it..

"Princess.. It's not New York.. It's Rome, Italy.. We are in our home country.. "

She froze before gasping..

"WHAT?!?!! WHEN?!?! HOW?!?! WHY?!?! "

I shrugged..

"When you were passed out.. You were sleeping soundly so we didn't wake you up.. BTW we are going to our own villa after a few days.. "

She shook her head..

"I really don't know what's with you guys changed countries when I'm sleeping.. Every time I sleep and wake up, Boom! I'm in another country.. I am not sleeping!!! “

She got up but I rushed and pushed her back..

" Ok ok we are sorry and we'll definitely wake you up if you're sleeping next time.. Now get back and lay down.. "

She whined but layed down anyway.. I smiled and switched off light and layed down beside her.. I pulled her closer to me and breathe out like I was holding my breath for so long..

I put her head on my chest and caressed her hair.. She was quite for a moment before speaking up..

"What do you think of me...? "

She whispered and I frowned..

"I think of you as my precious baby sister.. "

I kissed her head lovingly.. She nodded..

"Do you think I took away mom? I had time with mom which you guys didn't.. "

I signed.. Where was she getting this questions from?

"No... What mom did was her own doing.. And I'm glad that you got her time and she cared for you.. "

It pains knowing mom willingly didn't return but will that change something? She will not return anymore and grieving for it is now useless..

"You weren't even born when mom left.. We never knew you existed.. Actually I'm sorry for not looking for mom.. If I did, I would've known you existed.. You'd be in our arms long ago.. "

She hummed and nuzzled in me..

"You're warm.. and smell nice... *yawn* But smell disgusting with cigarette and alcohol.. "

A chuckle broke from me at her words..

"Don't*yawn* smoke *yawn* or drink alcohol *yawn*.. I'll cuddle *yawn* with you more *yawn*..

She mumbled something and fell asleep and I smiled.. If she's gonna cuddle me if I don't smoke and drink, I'll gladly do it.. I kissed her head and she wrapped herself more onto me and I finally closed my eyes in ease..

Now I know why dad slept so peacefully..

Next morning

Mirabella

I frowned hearing some whispers and a bit whispered yells.. I groaned as it disturbed my sleep.. The pillow felt warm and cuddly and I nuzzled more into it.. I heard some purrs and the pillow moved a bit.. I opened my one eye to see black shirt..

Yesterday night flashed before me and I remembered sleeping with Dante.. So the pillow is Dante.. I opened both my eyes and stretched slightly to avoid the pain in my ribs.. I realized that he is still holding me..

" Good morning Sunshine.. "

I smiled and hugged him again while he kissed my head.. I flinched when I heard awes and looked around to see Xander, Antonio and Vincent..

I frowned..

"Good morning...? "

They smiled and I was pulled away from Dante by Antonio to cradled me on his lap..

"Morning Princess.. "

I smiled and hugged him.. He smelled like citrus and that's cool though.. Dante smelled like branded Gucci Cologne..

I got carried away by Vincent who ruffled my hair a bit..

"Morning morning.. I'm upset that you slept with Dante.. I wanted to cuddle you too.. "

I laughed and kissed his cheek..

"Maybe next time! "

He smiled brightly and I noticed his dimples which I poked with my fingers..

"Hey I want a kiss as well! "

Xander pushed away Vincent who smirked at Xander..

"Jelly jelly bro? Of course that's mine cause I'm her favorite brother.. "

I haven't decided though cause I'm still getting to know them..

The other 3 sneered..

"The fact that she came to my room first, I sincerely doubt that Vinc"

Antonio chuckled..

"And I ate the delicious cupcake she made for me.. Did anyone get this special treatment? “

All of them started bickering and I yawned and leaned on Xander who held me... It's nice to have some chaotic brothers who fights for you..
