It's so awkward, somebody help.

A few days later, I'm back at home. Well not alone this time. The Grasso's are with me ans its not helping that they are directly looking at me.

I'm being wheeled in a wheelchair because my pain hasn't subsided yet but Giovanni looks completely fine. The doctor told him to rest but he denied and the doctor never went against him. Their conversation went something like this....

Doctor: Sir you need to use a wheelchair too. You've just had your surgery.

Giovanni: No.

Doctor: Ok.

That's how it went

Right now I'm being wheeled inside the living room if the house and all the guards are shocked too looking at the Italians.

They probably wanted to see if I'm properly using their organ or not.

Mama brings me near the couch and I get up to go sit on it. Since the doctor said j could do those small movements, only walking need to be reduced.

As I stand up, I see all the Grasso's immediately stand up trying to hold me like im a baby taking my first steps. My eyes widen and so does Mama's when I look at her. She's trying to hold onto her laugh because they look really funny.

I smile sleepishly but Before I could do anymore movements. Leonardo rushes to my side, picks me up bridal style and sits me down completely, then goes back and sits back in his place. He give his brothers a cocky smile and they all glare at him in return, even his parents.

What is happening?

"Where's Baba?" I ask Mama and from my peripheral vision I see the Grasso's tense.

"I got a message from Archo, saying they are busy with some work" she tells me as she sits beside me.

Thats strange, I haven't seen him once in these days

"Is he okay?" I ask her.

"Archo does say he is but he can't talk since he's been busy" she tells me.

"Alright I'll go see if lunch is ready or not, meanwhile you guys please ask if you need anything okay?" Mama ask the Italians and they nod at her in reply. She leaves to the kitchen while I'm sat here in front of these people.

"Athena" Allessandro asks.

"Yes?"

"Wanna explain why you were being friendly with us knowing we are the Italian mafia?" He asks looking at me straight in the eye.

I need to lie

"I knew you guys were in the Mafia but I was just being friendly. That's all. I had no intentions of harming you or whatever you are thinking"

I didn't actually lie

He signs, "We were just really stressed" he softly smiles at me.
