Heirs | On Hold

chapter 5

•Aria Artemis Castro•

I woke up with Zeev dancing on my bed. Want to know who he is? Zeev is my big brother number 6. Yeah I have six brothers and all of them are so overprotective of me that I can't even go out of the house without one of them following me. And today being my first day as a freshman I have to be extra careful with those idiots.
"Wake up baby!!" Zeev screamed as he jumped up and down.
"I'm awake you twat..now get out before I hit you!!" I scream at him as he runs out of the room.
Me and mom are the only girls in thus household. All of my uncle's have three to four boys and Lillian is no more. I know. She and aunt Victoria were hit by a drunk driver and died in the hospital. Uncle Amator was so sad he drowned himself in work and so did his sons Antonio and Jasper. All of them have come back to normal now.

I get up and go into my big bathroom. Yeah. Dad has made me an enormous room with everything so extra and I love it anyway.

I grab a sweatshirt which is Zuko's. He'll hate me for it but I love wearing them. It makes me feel safe and happy. I have a section of my closet which is filled with their shirts, jacket and sweatshirt. I even have Zeev's shorts I don't know why?🤪

My mom's brothers shifted back to Italy two years ago except uncle Kade and Aunt Mia. Grandpa comes and visits is every holiday while all our cousins tag along.
I start to walk down the stairs but trip over my own feet and bam! Boom! I'm on my butt with all my brothers and papa looking at me.
"Are you okay?"

"Did my baby get hurt!?"

"Does it hurt!?"

"Guys chill out...I'm fine!" I yell and they shut up.
"But my butt is not!" I whine as they laugh and kaz picked me up. He carried me to our big ass kitchen and plops me on the chair.

"Good morning!" Dad comes in and gives me a hug and a kiss on my head. I love dad. He knows how to cheer me up and make me happy when I'm hurt or sad.

Flashback

GREYSON'S POV.
I was in my office when my princess came running in.
"Papa..shh...me play!" She said in her cute voice and sat under my desk.
"Who you playing with princess?"
"Zeev and Kaz!" She said as I nooded my head and waited for my son's to realise where she is.
I heard both of them coming to office while she giggled.

"Papa...will you save me?" She asked me from under the desk.
"Baby...papa will always save you and he loves you so much!!" I said and she came out from the table and sat on my lap pretending that she is working.

"I know...she always goes to dad for hiding!! See there she is!" Kaz said as he came running in.
"Oh...come here missy...you were not supposed to come here!" Zeev said as she giggled and hugged me tightly.
"Tickle monster is coming your way!!" They said.
"No..papa...save me!! He will save me from tickle monster..he is my hero!!" She squealed as I smiled at her and look at sons who are smiling too. They all hug me as I pull the three of them close to me. I see Zuko near the door and I call him in for a hug as well. He may be a mommy's boy but he does have my temper.

Flashback over.

"Morning dad!" I say as he gives me small hug and then sits at the head of the table talking with Az and Eli.
Both of them help dad at his office.

"Aria..I hope you know all the rules we have told you..me and mom are going for a business trip today...and I don't want Azrael getting any calls from school." Dad said as I nooded my head.

Flashback
Dad had called me in his office for a minute. I know there are going to be some rules for me because of highschool.

I make my way to dad's office and knock.
"Come in princess!!" He shouted.
"How did you know it was me dad!?" I ask him as I sit down on my chair.

When I was small I had kept my chair in his office and no one was allowed on that seat. Once a business partner and his daughter came in and she decided to sit on my chair I punched her in the face.

I was a rebel child you know.

Anyway..dad gave me a long list of 29 rules..I'm not even going to tell you those and they were non negotiable so I am stuck with them.

Flashback over.

I ate breakfast and wished mom and dad a happy journey. After they left I was sitting on the kitchen counter when Azrael came in with a gift box.
"Here is gift for my babygirl!" He said as he handed me a box.
I quickly opened it to find a new iPhone 11, purple. My favourite colour.
"It mine!!?" I ask him as he nods as I squeal and jump in his arms.
"Thank you..thank you!!" I say as I hug all my brothers. Except Zuko cause he hates my hugs.

"Anyway...you might get late babygirl...let's take a picture I'll send it to you. We have you in all our groups and the family group as well." Eli said as he clicked my picture and we also took a selfie.

I hear my phone ping.

Princess has been added to "Mistakes of the family" group.
"Boys it's time to head out... make sure you take care of your sister!" Mom says as she hugs me tightly before I run towards the car.

"Shotgun!!" I yell but instead I'm picked up and dumped into the back seat by Zuko.

"Hey!!! I called shotgun!!" I pout as he stares at me through the mirror.

"Whatever... children sit in the back." He said before taking his phone out and scrolling through some dumb messages a girl sent him.

"He's a asshat." Zeev says as we laugh silently causing kaz to look up.

"Anything you want to tell?"

"No... we're good!" I laugh as he drives to the school.
