"No please don't!" I screamed, clutching onto his shirt. He just held me tighter. I closed my eyes tightly and before I knew it I was submerged into the freezing cold pool water.

In my nightwear.

And socks.

"I'll fucking kill you Mateo!" I shouted once I emerged from the water. He just stood with his hands crossed and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Watch your mouth Nirvana." He said before walking inside.

"I'm an adult!" I shouted. I sighed and swam over to the pool wall before pulling myself up.

He didn't even leave a towel.

I trudged through the house, not caring about the fact that I'm dripping all over the floors. Emilio was coming down the stairs when he saw me making my way up. He laughed and shook his head.

"Should've just woken up the first time, Siri." He said. I groaned in frustration.

"It's Saturday! I'm allowed to sleep in on the weekends dude." I said. Emilio just shook his head and disappeared into the kitchen.

"He's right cat." Lorenzo said. I turned around and saw him and Luca coming down the stairs also. I rolled my eyes at him, causing Luca to send me a disapproving look.

"Don't roll your eyes Iris." He said sternly but softly at the same time. I groaned again.

"I'm an adult!" I shouted. They just walked right pass me though. Not before Luca called back.

"Love you gumdrop."

"What's this I hear about eye rolling Elena?" A voice says. I turn to see Alejandro at the top of the stairs. I make my puppy dog eyes at him, hoping that at least one of my brothers would feel bad for me. But he just laughs.

"I'm the one who told him to throw you in if you didn't wake up Iris. Put them away." He said referring to my eyes. I gasped in shock and walk away from him, ignoring his soft laughter.

Wet socks aren't the most comfortable so I hurry to my room and get changed.

Ok let's catch up.

I'm Iris. The girl with 5 older brothers and the coolest names ever. Those brothers are also apart of the Italian mafia. Well my oldest brother, Alejandro, actually leads it. Anyways, I'm 19 years old and I've been living with the boys for almost 6 years. 5 years ago, I was kidnapped by someone who I thought was my friend, and ended up killing him. But my brothers saved me in less than two hours so it really was a pathetic attempt. Over the years my brothers and I have made the most amazing connection and now we have an unbreakable bond. I'm also a spectacular shooter, you're very much welcome. But Alejandro said I can't join the mafia. Not because I'm a girl, but because he wants to keep me safe. His words not mine.

But now for the drama.

So, Evan Ivanov, the ex Russian mafia leader, recently gave his position to his son. Dean Ivanov.
