✷ Nicolai Russo's POV ✷

We were all sitting in awkward silence and staring at each other or more like them glaring and us just sitting here.

Everyone else who went up had now come down and was sitting opposite of us, and all of them were giving us death glares.

I heard my son Victor clear his throught and spoke up breaking this unbearable silence, "I was just wondering who is that boy over there? He addressed both our sister and that girl over there as Mama"

"Even though that's none of your business, this boy right here is our son. And before you ask if he is biologically related to us, the answer is no. Our Cian right here was in the worst of possible conditions when we found him when he was only 4 years old, and my sister found a strong connection between her and him. So, we decided to take him in, and we all grew fond of our baby. He always looked up to Vale from the beginning so he started to call her Mama instead. But he also calls me Mama Lia because he thinks we both are the most important people in his life" she finished with a big smile and tears running down her face. 

The boy Cian immediately got up and sat on her lap facing her.

"Mama per favore, don't cry. I can't see tears in your eyes" he said sadly.

She wiped her tears and kissed the boy's head as she embraced him.

"So, are you all biologically related?" I heard one of my sons ask.

That made them glare at us even harder.

"Blood doesn't always mean you are bound to be family, we all found each other when we didn't have anyone with us. We gave each other love and support when everyone else in our lives turned their backs on us. That makes us a much stronger family than you ever were" one of the boys sneered back at us.

"Marce control your anger, we don't want to start a fight here, even though I want to rip their bodies apart. Don't let Vale, Lia, and Cian see you in this condition, you know how they feel when you act like this" the boy whom I believe Rome whispered in that boy's ear.

I could hear their conversation since they were closer to where I was sitting.

We were all sitting in that awkward silence again when we heard soft footsteps coming in our direction.

"Li-Li I'm Home!" a voice yelled.

The girl jumped up happily and all their faces turned into pure happiness as they heard her voice.

I felt a pang of anger and regret washing over me as I saw their bond.

I looked up to find my daughter standing in the doorway looking happily at her family but when she sensed that they weren't alone in the room, she turned around to see us.

I think she probably recognized who we were and I could see that she was hurt and angry.

But what I didn't expect was to see her getting a panic attack, before I could get up or one of my sons or daughter moved a boy who looked older than all of them got up immediately and rushed towards her.

"Breath Vale, I am here, Al is here alright? You aren't there anymore. You are home and you are safe." He cooed at her as he held her towards his chest.

"Al, I- I can't be-Bret-breathe" she gasped for air.

I couldn't bear to see my Angel in that condition knowing that it was us who were the cause behind it.

The girl and all the boys ran towards the two of them as they all hugged each other lovingly.

"Vale look at me ya? Love, you are safe, now count 1-10 with me yes? Come on, one, two... ten" they finished counting together.

"Ohh my baby" I heard one of the men say and walked towards her.

"Papa" I heard my angel cry out.

Everything came rushing to me the moment she called someone else her "papa", it finally clicked what we had done to her.

We broke her and there is no way she will ever forgive us for the cruelest thing we did to a child.

"Bambina, don't cry. You know I can't see tears in my children's eyes, please baby, please don't cry" he pleaded.

"Papa," my angel said as she buried her face in and hugged that man tighter.

"Shh love, calm down. Your papa and fratello are right here ya? Look around, your brothers, your sister, and more importantly your Cian is right here ok? We won't be going anywhere" he said soothingly to my angel.

I felt tears forming around my eyes as I saw their interaction.

One by one they all formed into a group hug and comforted each other.

It broke all our hearts to see their interaction with each other. They would do anything for each other.

B R O K E N

After the negotiation, we all left the room for each dinner. I am happy that my daughter is letting us stay here and fix some things.

I knew it would be hard for us to mend our relationship but we were all determined to get our princess back in our lives.

We already missed so much of her life and we wouldn't be missing out anymore.

The interaction between that Amelia girl and my Angel set us off, we saw how much they loved each other and cared for each other.

But I think it affected Diana the most, she was looking at their interactions sadly but she never spoke up.
