"I never meant to hurt you, sometimes things happen that are out of my control"

Roberto's pov.

We arrived back at the hotel, in which we all were staying. We all had different rooms so we could not eat dinner together, but it was fine. We will see each other tomorrow night again. I hear a sniff coming from next to me. "Mi Amore?" I tried turning her over and saw her entire face was covered in tears. I instantly went in to hug her. Allowing her to sob on my shoulder. "It's okay, it's okay" I tried calming her down. "No it's not they don't want to be with us" my heart clenched as I remembered today's events.

"But they are coming home baby" suddenly she jumps up. " Roberto don't you get it!? They think we are their business partners. Even more so they thought and still thinks that we abandoned them!" She shouted at me as she sobbed through her words. I felt my heart break into a million pieces. What she said was true, they do think we abandoned them. "My love but we will show them that they were never meant to grow up alone, and whoever hurted them, I will personally take care of them, yes they may be cold and distant now, but you have to keep in mind that we are a bunch of strangers to them. They still have to get comfortable around us". My wife looked at me as if I just grown two heads.

" How could you say that!? How could you be so calm-!?" I cut her of by yelling. It was only rare when we argue. "Do you think I want my children to hate me!? To hate us!? Do you think I enjoyed sitting in that office, enjoying the fact that they will never view as their father!? DO YOU FUCKING THINK I ENJOYED KNOWING THAT MY ONLY DAUGHTER THINKS I DID NOT WANT HER AND HER SIBLINGS AS MY CHILDREN!!!?" This was the first time I ever yelled at my wife like this. She looked up at me with her beautiful green eyes  filled with so much pain.

Suddenly I snapped out of my anger. And went to hug her. She sobbed uncontrollably in my eyes. Guilt crept through me, for yelling at her. This is hard for her as well. "Mi Amore look at me" she kept her head down. "Look at me" her head lifted up and I saw those gorgeous eyes of hers. "None of this is your of any of our kids fault okay? It's mine. But we will show them in these next 3 weeks how much we truly love them" she cupped my face. "It is not your fault" I shook my head.

Now that I think about it, it really is my fault. I should have protected my wife more. I should have found her so much sooner. Then maybe we would have known she was pregnant maybe we could have our babies growing up where they belonged. Instead I found her to late. And I should have looked in deeper into the situation, but I was very glad to have my wife and the mother of my children back. It is my fault.

"Baby let's just try to get some sleep okay?" I felt her nodding against my chest. Soon after my wife left to go wash her face, since her eyes were bloodshot red from all the crying. A knock came to the door. "Yes?" I open the door and saw the butler who was working at my youngest houses earlier. "Good evening Mr Lombardi, sir Ace Salvatore has send me to tell you that they will meet you at the airport tomorrow at 3pm sharp" he said in a almost robotic tone. And turn to left.

I closed the door as soon as my wife stepped out of the bathroom. "We will be going tomorrow afternoon 3pm" I pull the duvet cover over me. She just nodded and looked at me. She soon came and layed in my arms. I felt my body relax into her safe and soft embrace. Soon I felt sleep over take me.

Alessio's pov

I woke up to my alarm going to off. It's 4am. I quickly got up and put on some work out clothes. To meet Adrin downstairs. We always goes on our morning run together. It's kind of our thing. As you might have noticed we have the best sibling bond but all so the most toxic bond as well. "Come on slow ass hurry the fuck up!" I hear my youngest brother yell at me. "Don't forget who is older" I narrowed my eyes at him. Only to get an eye roll in return.

I am going to get him for that later.

"Okay woah!" I stopped to catch my breath. We made it to the top of hill about 30 miles from the house. Everything day we ran to the hill and back. "I can never get tired of these views" Adrin threw his water at me, since I forgot mine. "Yeah there's nothing like London in the sun" it is absolutely gorgeous. My phone started to ring. "Good morning Ace.. we are on our way" I pushed the phone back into my pocket.

"What now?" Adrin sighed. "Well we have a meeting at 8 and then we have to get to the airport at 3" I heard Adrin let out a deep sigh. "Lessio I don't want to do this, I don't know why Ace agreed to this" me and Adrin always shared everything with each other.

"Look I know it is hard, but Ace would not have done it if he did not believe that it wasn't the best for us. We know Ace by now, if we go to him and our princess goes to him and tell him we don't like it with these people he will not keep us there against our will. It is only 3 weeks brother, your not alone in this. You have me, you have Arabelle and most importantly you have Ace. You don't need them. We don't need them, we have each other Ace will soon realise that" I patted his shoulder. "Come on we should get going"
