Vincent

All eyes snapped towards the door and our eyes widened, seeing Mirabella standing while grinning, looking at the knife. She reached to grab the knife, but I pulled her away while Ezaikel quickly wrapped up the knives.

"Hey! I want to see them! "

Mira wiggled in my arms, but I didn't let go until the knives were up in a safe place.

"You have the idea that these are the sharpest knives… No way am I letting you near them! "

Ezaikel said, and I let go of her as he locked it in the compartment under his seat. "This is unfair! I just wanted to see!! " She whined but we didn't agree. "You'll be your adult! “

I teased and she huffed at me.

" I'll be is 3.5 months... And I'll see them the moment I turn 18."

I laughed and ruffled her already messed-up hair…

"You're not an adult to us till your 30s baby… Keep up the hope… "

She gasped and slapped my arm. "Papa... " She whined while looking at dad, who was smiling.

"Vincent.. This is not okay. I would say 40s… You reduced 10 years. "

We all laughed while she rolled her eyes and went to Ezaikel…

"Even if you drown me in butter, I'll still not let you near it. "

He warned but Mira grinned at him.

"Come on.. I'm here for that… You still didn't tell you how many you bought. " Ezaikel frowned but then rolled his eyes. Yup! Our grumpy little brother went to the shop for the first time and went directly to toy stores and bought plushies … We were on the verge of dying in shock.

"I told you I wouldn't… You'll see when we reach there. " "So it's there?! "

Ok.. She is actually getting something out of him.

"Yes.. In your room… " "And didn't you buy toothless? I like the black one… Maybe a Capybara … Oh! Some mushrooms and hello Kitty's, or do you know the ones like a boba tea bottle? "

I could see Ezaikel tensing up… We all kept quiet to see how further she went…

"Yes, I bought it all! There are hundreds! You'll find everything! "

She grinned after finally getting the answer and Ezaikel, who realized it, glared at her.

"You did it intentionally. "

Mira nodded and happily got up and sat with Dad…

"Whatever it takes to get it out of you. "

Ezaikel grumbled about unfairness… We all laughed at it. Normally, we don't pick on him because he is hard to manage later… But we know that he will say nothing to Mira. I know he was not welcoming to her, but man! He is whipped for our baby sister…

"Why did you get up? You should take some rest. "

Dante said and she shrugged.

"Antonio snores and punches in the air alot… " Xander grumbled..

"I know right! He broke my nose once. "

She giggled, and I got her a sandwich which she happily ate. Now that she is recovering, I can see she has a great appetite. Not like we will hate to feed her… Actually, we want her to have a big appetite because we'll feed her to the brink anyway. Just then, a flight attendant came and told us that we'd be landing, so I went to get Antonio up, to where I got kicked by him. I swear I'll strap him once we reach there… Dad and Mirabella sat while I sat with Dante, who was grumpy because they told him off to sit with her… Xander and Ezaikel sat together and Antonio dozed off on his seat. Soon we landed and got off the plane. Two cars were parked already, so we hoped for… Dad, Antonio, Ezaikel sat on one while me, Xander and Dante were on the other with Mirabella… I can feel Dad and Dante having a competition about who would be with her most… Well, none of us objected because these two would go after a day while we will get her to ourselves most of the time.

"How long will it take? And where is it? " Mirabella asked, and I focused on driving, letting others answer…

"This is somewhere in the Pacific Ocean … This is one of our hideouts in case something goes south… "

She hummed before asking again.

" Are we in danger? What happened? "

Now that she knows about us, there is no point in hiding, so Dante spoke the truth.

"Well, not really, but a little… One of the biggest allies is the American Mafia and the boss died last night. The new heir will take a few months to grasp the situation, but many will try to hinder it. Though we have their backs, it will be a bit rough… Also, someone leaked your information… And that endangered you too. We can be safe if we stay in New York or Italy, but you know, it's better to be safe than sorry. "

she nodded understanding..

"So I am also the reason why we suddenly came to Italy and now here? I am sorry to have trouble… "

She said being guilty…

"It's not your fault. It's something we expected but just not this soon. "You don't have to worry… Dante and Dad will sort it out before Dante takes over as a capo. "

Xander explained and I nodded…

"You're taking over?! "

She said, looking at Dante, who smiled, nodding.

"Why? Will you be scared of me then? "

He asked but Mira sneered.

"Uh-uh! I'll be bragging about it… like 'Yeah yeah… My father was a capo and now my brother. So don't mess with me… ' "

We all laughed, and soon we reached our villa…

"Woah!!! It's so beautiful!!! “

She said, jumping out the moment I stopped the car…

" Whoever put their thoughts in it should be rewarded!! "

She said and I grinned…

"Then what is my reward Serenita? "

The outlet was designed by me when I was graduating. Dad gifted me this island on my 18th birthday… But I chose to make it a hideout, so there won't be anything bothering us if we ever want to have a vacation. Mirabella looked at me amused…

"You did it?! "

I nodded and she jumped on me.

"You're my second-best brother! "

She said and I frowned at her…

"Second? Who is the first? "

She grinned and kissed my cheeks…

"Big Brother Dante! "

Oh! I knew it! Dante, who was eavesdropping on our conversation, came while grinned and Mira jumped in his arms.

"Of course, I'm the best of all… "

He laughed while entering, while I shook my head. I turned to take my bag but stopped as I faced 3 sulking faces… I shrugged and grinned… At least I got a second… Poor them for messing up…

"Get in before I lock the door… "

Dad warned and we all hurried inside. Next day

As we arrived in the evening, we all freshened up and just went to sleep. Dad and Dante are leaving today and Mirabella is whining about it.

"We'll come back soon baby.. It's just a matter of a few days. "

Dad convinced her, and she finally let them go. They left early to reach Italy by noon. We brought out some frozen pizza. Xander heated it, and we all ate it…

"So what are you guys going to eat at noon? There are some frozen items in the fridge."

Xander asked and we all made a face…

"Are we going to eat frozen food? There are no maids? "

Ezaikel said and Xander shook his head . "Not a single human other than us in a 200 km radius. "

Mirabella

"We can cook then… I saw alot of grocery items. "

I said as I saw them bickering over frozen food… I checked the amount of food stored, and it was enough to feed us all for 2 months.

"Oh come on Bambina.. The one with proper cooking skills is Dante. "Dad can scramble on some recipes while Xander can brew coffee and make a toast… And Antonio makes good smoothies and the sunny side up… Are we going to live with that? "

I raised a brow at Vincent and Ezaikel and Ezaikel sighed…

"We never entered the kitchen to cook anything… Vincent once tried to fry a nugget but burned the pan itself… 5 maids were standing behind him and handled the matter. And what's funny? The nuggets were still frozen on the inside. "

I laughed, holding my stomach.... Vincent nudged at Ezaikel, but he only rolled his eyes.

"And I didn't pull any stunts like him… So I never really tried. "

He admitted it, and I still couldn't stop laughing at the incident. My mood drastically improved after I slept for hours. And well, I ate alot too… I was craving food now and then, which is weird though.

"This is not funny! What are we going to eat now?! "

Vincent whined and Xander and Antonio just shrugged.

"Maybe heat up some frozen food… "

Xander said, and we all went to the living room.

"I want to see the surrounding places… Come on Vinc. Let's go~~"

I pulled at his hoodie and he nodded while others whined…

"We can go to… Why him only? "

Xander said and I frowned… I simply asked because he said the house was his, so he knew better than others. I tried to say something, but I felt a cramp and hissed in pain. Oh No.. .
