THIRD PERSON'S POV.

"So, who's talking to him?" Artemis asked as she neared her father's room.

"Demi says all of us" Giovanni replied and I let out a sigh.

A few minutes later Demitri walked up to them and they all entered the room after knocking. Nickolai walked out of his closet wearing a black tee and track pants. This was one of the times anyone saw him in anything other than suits. Demitri, Ace and Nickolai had their closets filled with suits.

"Kids? All of you here? Is everything alright?" Nickolai asked confused and concerned.

"Yes dad. We just wanted to spend some time with you." Ace replied and they all walked to the bed and sat around Nickolai, three on each side.

"Dad," Demitri spoke after a long peaceful silence. "You know we'll always have your back, no matter what. You mean a lot to all of us."

"What is wrong with you all?" Nickolai asked.

"Dad, we all feel like you aren't over mom's death, yet" Giovanni dropped the bomb. Nickolai stared at his son, dead in the eye, makig Giovanni cower from his gaze. 

"I'm fine kids. You don't have to worry about me" Nickolai replied giving a small laugh.

"Dad! Stop it!" Giovanni shouted, everyone snapped their heads at him. "We all know you still love mom and miss her! You blame yourself for the things that happened to her! You think you are the reason she is not alive today, that... that you couldn't protect her!" He shouted. "Dad, please," he had softened his voice. "Please, don't go into denial. We are a family. We have to lean to each other. Please!" He pleaded.

"Dad, you have to open up. We are your kids, your own blood. It's okay to share your feelings with us." Armani spoke.

There was a pin drop silence in the room until Nickolai spoke once again. "I think you guys should go to sleep. I'm very tired. Good night." he replied in a monotonous voice and slipped into the covers.

"Da-," Artemis held Valentino by his shoulder and nodded a 'no'. All the Russo kids slowly walked out of Nickolai's room.

"We all love you dad and it wasn't your fault." Artemis kissed Nickolai's cheek before following her brothers.

"Guys! He's gonna make himself sick." Ace whisper shouted and all of us gathered in the living room.

"I don't know what to do" Giovanni replied holding his head in his hands, while his elbows rested on his thighs.

"He'll be okay, right?" Valentino asked worried.

"He'll be alright, bud." Ace placed both his hands on the twins shoulder, assuring them.

"We should give him some time" Demitri spoke.

"I agree with Bubba. We should give him time till he is comfortable enough to talk to us about it. So, for now, no one will be talking about this until dad opens this matter." Artemis replied.

"Has everyone understood?" Demitri asked, taking the lead. Everyone nodded in response. "Okay, now let's head to our bedrooms." He added and then walked away to his, the others following him.

ARTEMIS'S POV.

I walk into my room and turn off the lights before heading to my closet. I take out my laptop and enter into the dark web.
