Loving Freely

C h a p t e r n i n e

Liam pov:

I had already informed Alexander that I was going spend some time with our sister. It honestly felt weird saying that as she had been away so long from us. But it made me happy. She was now in reach and it would feel so nice when we could finally be a family together.

We were a little worried though about the family business aka the italian mafia. We had done a background check on her and everything was clear. Amazing grades and surprisingly finished high school. No criminal record, she was completely innocent which was the opposite of us.

We were however searching for our mother and her supposed new husband. I wanted answers from her, I wanted to know why she had left. Why she had left her loving husband and five sons.

Our father had died soon after our mother had left. He had been so overcome with grief that he had let his guard down which ultimately ended in his death at the hands of the enemy. He had searched for her everywhere be it country, city, town but it was like she had just vanished along with my unborn baby sister.

Soon after Vincent, our fathers right hand man had taken Alexander and trained him to take our fathers spot as the don. While the rest of us were grieving over the loss our parents, Alexander had been training.

We were then raised by aunties, uncles and trusted family friends. Leading us to have a very close bond to our cousins who were coincidentally all boys. It ran in the family and that's why everyone was so overjoyed when our mother Josephine was pregnant with a baby girl. Only for her to run and leave everyone devastated.

I shook off my deep thinking as I pulled up the bakery that Isabella worked at. She came skipping out with a smile on her face as I opened the door for her.

After a little small talk we had decided to go to the park. I was excited that she had said yes and was happy that she was willing to spend time with me .

"So what do you do or are you still in highschool" Isabella asked.

" I'm still in highschool, you?" I asked even though I already knew most things about her in the most non stalkerish way.

" well I've actually finished high school and I'm hoping to become a doctor" she smiled at me.

Wow my sister was smart, wait till our brothers hear this they'll be so proud.

" so you must be one smart cookie then huh" she giggled while I laughed.

" I mean I guess, i just didnt wanna be stuck there any longer then I had to"
She explained to me.

" I understand that I'm in my senior year so it isnt to bad"

We soon arrived at the park and I ran round to the side of the car to open it for her.

" you don't have to do that you know" she giggled at me.

I dramatically bowed at her.

" but my lady I am a gentleman, after you"

She laughed and got out of the car, me following her. We walked a little until we came to a clearing in the park.
We decided to sit underneath a tree.

I thought that now might be a good time to ask about her meeting up with her supposed family.

"So have you met with your aunty and uncle yet" I asked. She cleared her throat a little and looked over to me.

"Oh um turns out I'll have to wait another week to see them"

"Oh why's that" I asked.

" they got held up with something, yeah um they had to leave for awhile so I offered to just stay in the motel until they're back"

I was a little worried about her staying in a motel I mean she was only 16, who knows what them sick people in the world would do to her. 

"What about you?" She asked quickly to divert the conversation.

"Ah well I have 4 brothers and a sister I never got to meet" I decided to just tell the truth.

"Oh wow that's a lot of brothers, if you don't mind me asking how come you have never met your sister" I decided to just tell her as she was my sister so no harm was done.

"Well when i was young my mother had left, she was pregnant during this time and our family was overjoyed as she was having a baby girl. Which doesnt happen often as we are a big full of males" I told her sadly.

"Oh I'm very sorry to hear that" she apologised looking sheepish.

"It was a long time ago" I waved her off.

We soon got into flow of conversation about the most random of things for example her hobbies, likes, dislikes and I told her mine. It was so nice to just be able to spend time with her.

Soon it was time to go as her lunch break was ending. I drove her back to the cafe and said goodbye. Promising to meet up again soon.

After that I had decided to go home. And not surprisingly my brothers were there waiting anxiously to know how it went.

"So how was your little lunch date with our sister" Alexander asked

" it was great I picked her up from the cafe she works at and we went to the park and got to know each other"  I explained happily.

Most of my brothers looked quite satisfied with that and some I could tell wanted to know more.

"And what is she like" one of my other brothers, Noah asked.

"Shes really sweet, bubbly and a happy person, oh and shes really smart. We already know that shes finished highschool but she wants to be a doctor"

As I looked around at their faces after I told them I could tell they were proud of her.

"I would expect nothing less from her I mean she is our sister after all, shes showing all of us up" our second oldest brother Ryan teased.

" I think we should all slowly start to introduce ourselves to her, then when she comfortable we should be able to break the news to her" Alexander said sternly.

We all nodded and left the living room when Alexander finished talking.
