A trip to grocery store changed Natalie's life forever.
Finding out her mother is dead and the remaining of her family missing was NOT on Natalie's bucket list.
She now has to move to New York and live with her biological brothers and a sister -i...

I hate Xavier.
Nah, not really. Hate is simply a strong word.
I temporarily dislike Xavier.
I mean who gives rules to their sister the day she arrives? Also these rules are simply too ridiculous for my liking.
Apparently Xavier thinks that being my guardian will give him the right to order me around, give me rules and restrict me from doing things.
He would have been able to do that if I was afraid to speak my opinion.
Too bad I'm not like that.
"You're under my care and I expect some things from you Natalie" He said the moment I settled myself on a black leather chair, opposite of me sat Xavier himself, his wooden desk covered with papers and files.
"That depends" I replied as I entwined my fingers and propped my elbows on the desk. A classic move I do when I'm serious.
"You have a 4.0 GPA and it should not degrade when you're here. No matter what circumstance" He said as he leaned against the chair.
fair.
"As long as I'm not dead I'll try" I promised giving him an easy grin. Xavier didn't seem to share since he gave me a -its-not-funny- look I used to give Leo.
Xavier took a deep breath, "I won't tolerate disrespect when you're in this house. What happened in the school office will not be tolerated if it happens again and you won't talk back to me or your brothers. Selena will not be here most of the time but whenever she's here you will not disrespect her or curse her or anywhere near her. You don't have a curfew but if you take a step out of this house without our permission once, you're grounded. Wherever you go you either give us detailed explanation about the person you're going with or one of us accompany you.I don't want you hanging out with boys. No dating unless you're 20. If he is your partner you simply tell us and we will arrange that. No alcohol consumption until your 21 and no drugs unless they are medication.
"No lies, No detention, No skipping classes, I want verbal answers whenever we talk. You will not interrupt us when we're talking with you. No snooping around. You're restricted in the basement. When we make decisions for you,you simply obey them. Is that clear?"
He raised an eyebrow when I didn't respond back a minute later.
I sat still staring at him hard, my jaw clenched.
le connard
"In simple words you don't want me to defend myself when any of you disrespect me. You want me to stay still while you make stupid decisions for me, I am caged in this house and I can't go out until and unless I take permission from you. I can't make friends or hang out with them without your permission. No boys?" I let out a harsh laugh, it sounded cold. I let a bit of my anger and accent mix in my next words.
