"UNCLE ANGELO" A small body runs into me and collides with my torso making me stumble back a little bit.

I look down to see Lucas, squeezing me tightly with his eyes closed like I was his life anchor.

I smile softly as I ruffle his hair, "Getting stronger I see? You're almost suffocating me."

"I just miss you, I don't want to let you go." Lucas mumbles while his face was stuffed on my torso.

I always had a soft spot for my nephews and nieces. Although, I'm known to be ruthless and fucking destructive that image of me isn't seen in front of my little ones.

I laugh softly, "I missed you too, kid."

"You do know you could kill Uncle Angelo right?" Lucy walks in while crossing her arms, her glasses reflecting a shine before she bows her head down, flashing her blue eyes.

"Killing Uncle Angelo is impossible." Matteo, my brother says behind Lucy, with Mia beside him.

"Very impossible." I add then I hold my arm out to let Lucy come and hug me. She runs towards my torso and hugs me just as tight as Lucas was.

"Hai preso bene le tue lezioni di italiano?"

Lucy nods her head, her pigtails bobbing as let's go of me, ". I'm top of my class, Uncle." she says with confidence with a small smirk on her face. That's a Giordano right there.

Lucy has the arrogance and confidence of a Giordano. She'll grow up to break men's arm's including their hearts.

Lucas is more soft hearted than her, but with the blood that runs through his veins, his heart will be as hard as a rock and he'll be able to go through anything.

As soon as Lucas lets me go, I look back at Matteo and see him putting down one of the twins.

"Good to see you again, brother." I say with a grin before pulling him into a hug, "And you as well, Mia."

"We heard you were engaged, is that true?" Mia asks before handing Elisia, one of the twins. I hold her carefully on my arm and adjust her my hold before patting her head softly.

"We all know Angelo never lies." Matteo says while fixing his tie and clearing his throat. My brother knows me so well, I feel almost flattered that I don't have to explain everything to him because he's one of the few people who could read me like a god damn clock

"I am engaged. You'll be meeting my fiancé later." I confirm while the Elisia holds onto my tie and pulls on it.

I pinch her cheeks and notice the other twin, Eliana pulling on my leg. "Hm, which one are you? Eliana or Elisia?" I could identify which is which but nothing is wrong with a little tease.
