Hidden

Chapter 62

Valeriana's pov

Trey was finally out of the hospital. He was there for two weeks. I was glad he was home. Valerico and Valentino are both still clueless to Verena and I dating. We even stopped being so uptight and secretive about it. I once kissed her with them in the room. I forgot we were still fucking with my brothers so I slipped up. But now we do it to try and be obvious. Everyone else besides the Vales have figured it out.

They can be clueless to everything happening around them. Which is a shock considering the type of life we live. They literally need to be aware of everything around them or something bad can happen.

My stomach rumbled with hunger. I don't recall the last time I ate. But my stomach was gonna tell me it was empty despite not knowing. Pulling my door open I move down the hall.

"Zario, bambino, I'm finally pregnant,"Giana says. Her voice was muffled behind the closed door. I still heard her clear as day. I don't think I was supposed to hear that. All thanks due to my training.

"You are? It's about damn time!" Nazario states excitedly. Why didn't I walk away? Oh dear. This isn't good. Not good at all. I barge into the room. The couple jumped before looking at me with wide eyes.

"This cannot happen!" I shout while closing the door behind me.

"Valeriana, what the hell?" Zario yelled. He narrowed his eyes on me. I raise my hands up.

"I should be the one asking that. You really should discuss this in private," I mutter. Zario raised an eyebrow at me accusingly.

"We did!" Nazario hissed quietly. He motioned around the enclosed space of his bedroom. I roll my eyes.

"Assassin!" I exclaimed motioning to myself. "None of you are safe when I am on this floor. Valentino and Valerico are currently arguing over who ate the last peanut butter m&m out of the homemade trail mix. I'll tell you who it was. It was Valerico," I muttered.

Nazario and Giana had small smiles on their faces as they listened to me. They both were still sitting on the bed. They haven't moved since I walked in.

"Now I know and you both better stay away from me until you tell everyone. Because I will tell everyone around me if my eyes land on either one of you," I state truthfully.

"I'm sure you can keep some things to yourself. Can't you Valer?" Zario asked, causing me to laugh.

"Zari, bambino, I've known myself a lot longer than you have known me. Trust me on this one. I will tell everyone. It will slip out," I say. Giana laughs lightly while hitting Zario gently.

"Just try," he muttered while running a hand down his face. I let out a sigh. I pull the door open. Aurelio, Santino, and Matteo stood on the other side of the door. Aurelio raised an eyebrow at me when I slapped a hand over my mouth.

"Zario and Giana are having a baby!" I shout while pushing through the crowd of brothers. Zario let out a laugh at how quick I folded under their gazes. "I tried!" I shout while looking at Nazario. He rolled his eyes. I walk away and to the kitchen.

Valentino was in the kitchen with a scowl. My father was shaking his head while glancing at the pouting teen.

"Valeriana!" Valentino shouts. "You will not believe what our brother just did!" he shouts. I raise an amused eyebrow.

"He ate the last m&m out of the trail mix?" I asked. My brother's mouth dropped open.

"How did you know?"

"I can hear pretty much every conversation all of you guys have in your rooms. It is a curse really. Can I get a room downstairs?" I asked my father. He looked over at me. He took a sip out of his coffee cup.

"If you feel you need to have a room down here. Go ahead. I'm sure you can find a room you like. The guys can move your things in there. Since they are the reason you want to switch rooms," he says. I smile and nod my head before sending Valentino a look. He narrowed his eyes on me.

"Good because I spoiled Zario's baby announcement," I mutter. My father's eyebrow raised. Valentino's jaw dropped. "Shit, I did it again," I groaned before stomping upstairs. I enter Zario's room. My brothers were congratulating the happy couple.

"I may have told dad and Valentino. But good news you can tell Rico," I say. Zario smiled while shaking his head.

"Tell me what?"

"Oh, Zario and Giana are having a baby," I shrug. Everyone stares at me. My eyes widened when I realized I did it again. "Dammit! I did warn you both!" I shout accusingly at my brother and his girlfriend.

"She did warn us," Giana laughed, causing my brothers to join her.

"Future notice. Don't tell Valeriana anything," Aurelio states. I glare at everyone before sighing and nodding my head.

"I can't help but tell the truth," I whine. My arms cross over my chest as I pout. "Mother never liked it when I lied," I finally whispered. "She tried to cut my tongue out once when I was caught in a lie. Damien and Kolton showed up and she stopped."

"There is nothing wrong with your honesty. We love it," Aurelio says. My brothers nod their heads.

"We love you for it," Zario states with a wide smile. A smile spreads across my face.

"Good because I won't change," I laugh lightly. I did too much changing during my mother's torture. Even before my mother torturing me I was an honest person. I was just a terrible liar that I was caught. I had to lie to my mother because I knew how she would have reacted. Turned out she reacted worse when she found out I was lying.

"None of us want you to, kid," Aurelio states with a smile. I really love these guys. They took me in when I needed it and loved me even if I wasn't keen on the idea at first.
