Book first written: 2nd July, 2023.

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!

"Why can't you let me be my own person?! You 3 are always controlling my life and I hate it. I hate it!" Turning around, I started to make my way to my room, refusing to let any tears out. I get to my room and close my door. I'm going to party I heard a chuckle from behind me and my eyes widen. Slowly turning around, I was met with the three idiots. "We've been expecting you..." Damien says, stroking the stuffed cat. I stare at him. "YOU WERE TALKING TO ME DOWNSTAIRS 10 SECONDS AGO! HOW THE MAYO ARE YOU HERE?!" I scream/ask. "Or were we.." "Yes....you were......Now why are you here?" Daniel decided to speak up this time. "Look Ari, us being how we are is for your own safety. What would happen if some boy tried something on you in school. Huh? What would you do?" I think for a moment before smiling. "Three step rule: Play along, distract him...then crush his nuts." All three shook their heads as Damien spoke up, "Ari we love you but we're doing this for your own good." Before I understood, Damon picked up something from my bed. "You go to the party, Nutty gets it." My smile drops as I stare at my squirrel teddy. "No...Not Nutty...Please," I beg with pleading eyes. "Stay in the house, and Nutty lives.
