Chapter 24.

A week later.

It's been a week since the trial and life's gone pretty swimmingly. After winning in court and then bonding with the twins I felt lighter so naturally I was in a better mood.

I introduced Lucas and Leonardo to my brothers and they got along so well i was a bit shocked. Leo had some resemblance to mama which was weird and Lucas and papa bonded really quickly.

Anyways, after they met we all went for some sight seeing in which me and an over excited Leo where the tour guides, we took them to our most favourite spots where ace and Arlo didn't stop taking pictures like true tourists.

Had they never been to London?

After that we travelled back to LA.

I had a meeting with the ex Mexican mafia don, apparently it was him because his son - the main - is taking care of some business in Mexico for a few days. He wanted to call a truce because they didn't want a war, they wanted the Russian mafia to know about the Mexicans and the only way they could think to do so was to bomb my bases and kill my soldiers. As much as it was stupid I don't have the time for a war with everything else going on in life and psycho Pietro on the loose.

After that meeting I took my triplets to an underground fight, they both fought and won and then I fought one of the champions. He was a bit harder to beat that cutthroat but nevertheless he wasn't much of a challenge.

Then a few days went by with no trouble and a new week had begun. I'm currently sitting in AP math and trying to push back the idea of smashing my head on the table. I've been in LA for nearly a month and to be honest I can feel myself getting healthier and happier.

The day went by pretty slow and now I was headed to the lunch hall. I'm hungry so the first thing I do is get my tray of food, walking over to the normal table, I sit with my brothers, their friends and my six, Leo and luc are here today too. Without realising the extra additions to my brother's friends I begin to scoff down my food saying a few words to Lucas and Asteria.

"Is that her?" I hear an unrecognisable female voice whisper from the other side of the table

"Yeah" ace whispers back

"She looks exactly like the triplets, do you think she'll remember me?" The girl whispers again

"Well no shit and she doesn't remember anything from before she was five" Arlo adds.

"I'm gonna talk to her" a new male voice says gruffly

"No dont, she won't answer you, let me introduce you" ace said

"Rory we have a couple people to introduce you to" I hear ace shout

I look up at him "you don't need to shout, I've heard that whole conversation" I deadpan looking at the two other people at the table.

Asteria bumps my leg with hers "be nice" she whispers

Suppressing my eye roll "who are you?" I ask with an eyebrow raise referring to the girl.

I don't like new people, and apparently I'm not very good at hiding that.

"Oh Urm hi my names María this is my brother -" she starts but gets cut off an accent clear in her voice

"Blade" the boy grumbles

Looking at them more closely they look very similar. Blade is pretty tall, maybe about 6'3 but I can't tell because he's sat, he has dark black hair and a matching beard, his tanned skin is looks soft. He has mesmerising dark brown eyes that I could get lost in, he has visible tattoos on his neck and some on his arms running down to his hands and Arm muscles bigger than both my legs combined. He's beautiful.
