third person pov //

It's been a few days, nearly a weeks since Rosalie's arrival in the new home, the family members have all seemingly come to terms with the new presence in the home and have had no real trouble adjusting to the girls existence.

Nothing much has happened for these past few days except for Valentina and Anthony becoming rather busy.. however that was more so due to them using their daughter as an excuse when she first arrived to get out of work.

  Though that hadn't stopped them all from getting rather close, names such as 'mommy, daddy, mama, dada' they've all slipped out time and time again the more comfort they give Rosalie and they had yet to slow down or stop said advances feeding in to their parental instincts that they ignored with Alexander to make him their perfect heir.

-
Though nothing compared to the siblings,
   her and Alexander have been glued to the hip, it had started to occur after the second night Rosalie slept in his room. It was now almost a nightly occurrence unless the two were separated otherwise. On those nights Alexander couldn't sleep a wink.

Alexander has always been rather childish when it came to new things he liked, more frequently it occurred with things as he saw as his possessions.. and this itself definitely didn't go unnoticed, his new factuation with the girl was unnatural and unsettling.

This realization dawned on the maids first, then the guards. Where as the people who Alexander was most fretful of, the head maid, the butler.. his parents. He's managed to have their minds twisted in a belief it's because he is wanting to be a good 'big brother'. Perhaps that it's only natural he would want to be so caring, gentle.. close with his new little sister.

-

Now although they have been glued to the hip nothing of Rosalie's real identity has been publicly identified yet other than the photos circulating around from the mall, but her and Alexander's parents have been planning an outing just for a more 'extravagant' reveal of their daughter.

That outing was in fact supposedly happening in the days to come. Rosalie herself was oblivious to the plans but everyone else in the home was seemingly aware. Guards and maids alike.
They didn't want to scare her away from the idea by giving her a chance to fret over it.

Back in the present time,

Alexander has been keeping the girl close to his hip at all costs even when the private teacher is in their home and teaching him his little sister is sitting on the floor colouring or reading by herself.

Like now.

She's sat, body against his legs, hands busy at work on a drawing for her big brother and two other messier ones for their parents.
Every few minutes mumbling to herself and whining at the way something looks, or hair falling infromt of her bright eyes.. this all to the private teachers annoyance.

The grown man was becoming rather agitated towards the young lady in the room who continuously made sounds while he was teaching or would interrupt very suddenly to gain her brothers attention. It was annoying.

The sound of a text book finally snapped shut and the teacher looked down through his glasses towards the girl. They were children, scolding is necessary for their growth no ill will come towards him if he's simply teaching.. even if it's over stepping, right?

Wrong.

Of course scolding was necessary in homes that were not of the Caddel's.
    You live then you learn I guess.

"Excuse me Rosalie, you're being rather disruptive. Don't you think Alexander would benefit if you left while he was trying to learn?" The teacher began. His hand clenching the text book, eyes looking down on the girl before him.

"E-eh..!" Rosalie exclaimed shooting up to sit straight when scolded by the male before her. Sitting still and gripping Alexander's pant leg while her head was tilted back to look at the male before her.
   " 'm sorry, I didn't realize.. Rosalie's a bad girl.."  she began to scramble to pick up her things, tears burning her big doe eyes.

"Mhm.. you are, aren't you? For interrupting our teaching and learning session so if you wanna be good you shou-"

"Rosalie go to my room." Is all Alexander had to say, his hand reaching down and gently petting her hair to assure her she was in no trouble.
"I'll be right there, promise. So no tears."

"Mhm!" The small one says while rubbing her eyes quickly and leaning in to the touch of her brother. Hands collecting everything before standing up and going towards the door.
   "Sorry Mr. teacher.. I won't be bad again." She mumbled before going out and padding down the hall sniffling her nose along the way.

Upon arriving in the main entrance to cross over to the stairs she was met with the front door opening and her father stepping in yanking at his tie grumbling under his breath and looking down at his phone that read a very bland message from Alexander. She paused in her steps and wiggled the things around in her arms to grab his drawing.

"Hi daddy, here! Here!" The girl exclaimed bouncing on her toes, eyes red, sniffling once more.

  The older male's head snapped up and although heart made of stone and malice he couldn't help but feel a crack in his heart seeing her in such a pitiful state, yet so pleased to see him. Taking a few large steps over her way he crouched down and gently took the paper smiling very lightly at the small girl and kissing the side of her head.
    " It's very well done, thank you little one. I'll make sure to keep it in my office."

"Kay!" Is all she responded with, a toothy grin plastered on her once hurt face.
  "Gots to go now, wait for big brother!" She said happily, beaming after receiving simple praise before running off.

A deep chuckle vibrated the males chest as he stood and went towards the opposite staircase to go to his office.
  Upon arriving he found Alexander leaning on his desk as if he owned the place and his teacher sitting on the floor.

It was almost laughable to see a grown man kneeling before his ten year old son, however the reasoning for this position kept his face solid and eyes sharp as he entered the room.

This would be fun.
