Sydney took Luca to an ice-cream parlor.
He actually just wanted Luca all to himself since Gabe and Enzo's been selfish.

Of course, as her brother as well, Sydney needs to take care of Luca as well!

Sadly, Pierre was told to follow them.

"How's your strawberry ice cream, bambina?" He asked as he took a mouthful of his rocky road.

"Yummy!" She hummed happily, her feet were dangling from the chair.

"Really?" Sydney reached out to wipe the corner of her mouth. "I'm happy, baby girl."

Pierre snorted beside him and Sydney immediately glared at him.

Sydney snapped. "What?"

Pierre hid his laughter with fake coughs. "Nothing, sir. Just didn't take you for a sappy kind of brother."

Sydney leaned back and chuckled. "Are you insulting me?"

Pierre raised a brow. "D'you take that as an insult?"

They both stared at each other, neither one of them blinked as they hear Luca's lovely compliments on the ice cream.

Finally, Sydney looked away with a scoff.
Pierre smiled widely and victoriously. "I take that as a no?"

"Just shut up." Sydney grumbled.

Pierre's chuckles irked Sydney to no end.
Sydney just focused on Luca instead.

Luca smiled at him when she caught him staring. "Hi, Syd!"

He laughed at her innocent greeting. "Hi, love."

"Why'd you call me love?" Luca asks as she licks her spoon clean.

Sydney smiled fondly at her. "Well, because I looooove you, Luca! Do you love your big brother too?"

Luca nodded furiously. "I love love love eve'yone! I love Sydney and papa, and Enzo, and Gabi and Mr. Pierre and even Matty!"

Pierre smiled widely at Luca. "Thank you, my lady!"

Luca giggled adorably.

Sydney chuckled. "That's a lot of people."

The little girl nodded. "Cause there's always a lot of space for me tah love them!"

Oh.

Oh, dear.

That just made their day better.

That just made their hearts melt.

That's something that would definitely be the death of everyone.

"Keep 'em safe for me, alright, love?"

Luca nodded in determination. "I will."

A pregnant silence settled between the siblings before the little girl spoke again.
"D'you like your ice cream?"

Sydney looked at his melting dessert before nodding. "Of course. I told you, didn't I? I'm more of a rocky road person."

Luca giggled adorably at him and nodded. "Kay." She paused and then lifted a spoon full of her strawberry ice cream. "Want some?"

Sydney's heart melted when he saw how she smiled warmly up at him. Her eyes were literally glimmering with nothing but innocence and purity.

Nothing like the nasty people he have tortured.

Oh, wait.

Tortured?

He meant to say 'talked.'

Silly him!

Luca looks just like their mother. The way she looks at them with warmth in her beautiful chocolate doe eyes, her brown hair that just seems so soft, her attitude that brings out the best and the worst of a person.

"Sydney." Pierre's alert voice snapped Sydney at of his stupor.

Before he could even answer the guard, someone banged their fist on their table.

Luca's spoon immediately fell on the ground with a clatter. Everybody's eyes were on them.

Staring.

"Well, if it isn't SJC..." The bulky man laughed. His laugh was thunderous. It echoed through the silence of the parlor's four corners.

"Ah, Viviet. What a surprise!" Sydney nonchalantly chirped while keeping an eye out on Luca. She was giving him a monotonous look though.

Luca was used to these kinds of stuff so it doesn't shake her much like other people.

"You're a dead man!" He growled as he continued to glare at him menacingly.

"I'm pretty sure that I'm alive." He exclaimed with a snicker. "But this time it wasn't my fault for your buddy's demise."

"He died protecting your sorry ass!" He cried angrily, banging the table once more. This time, it made Luca flinch when their bowl of ice cream fell to the ground, shattering them to pieces.

This man, Viviet, grabbed the collar of Sydney's shirt, pulling him up from his chair.

"Sydney!" Luca cried, worry filling her tone as she watched the man glare dangerously at her brother.

Hearing his Luca's panic, something inside Sydney snap.

His cheery expression turned grim but his smile remained. His smile changed, it held so many raging anger and hostility.

"Don't touch me, douchebag." Sydney grabbed the man's wrist and immediately twisted it around. Not enough to break it but enough to hurt him.

"Sydney... " Luca whined in worry.

The said man looked at his baby sister and flashed her a smile. "I'm okay, love. We're just talking."

"Bu' my ice-cream..."

Sydney laughed internally at that. Of course Luca wouldn't worry about the situation, she was more worried about her sweet dessert.

Sydney chuckled. "I promise that I'll buy you another one."

Luca was reluctant at first but she nodded.

Pierre sighed and immediately went straight towards Luca, he carried her up and whispered something.

Luca nodded and let Pierre carry her outside.

Where it's safe.

Viviet hissed in pain and the grip on Sydney's collar lessened.

"Thank you for keeping your shitty mouth quiet!" Sydney chirped at Viviet when Luca was now outside of the parlor.

"You fucker." Viviet growled. "You fucking killed him!"

Sydney hummed happily.

A little too happy, if anyone asks the people inside the parlor.

Actually, the people inside the parlor was filled with nothing but bodyguards, armed with guns and was ready to blow Viviet's brains off if he keeps being so naughty.

Sydney chuckled darkly.

"It was worth my time." Sydney said with a wicked grin. "You should be happy though."

"Happy for his death?" He demanded in rage.

"Yeah because I gave him a sweet and painless death." Sydney shrugged calmly. "If I were to kill him my way, I'd love to slowly rip his bloody organs. His eyes, his kidneys, his heart, everything! I'd sell it to the black market, of course. Wouldn't want that to go to waste, right?"

Sydney was sweetly rotten, people had said.

The reason behind it was that he was quick to change his attitude. He'll be sweet at one moment but then he'll immediately change into someone so much worse.

He's so tempting.

He looks friendly but don't fall for his charms.

He's fucking rotten.

Sydney laughed at his sadistic imagination and continued.

"And then I'll cut off his limbs, his eyes, his head and oh, maybe his skin as well because I think that it'd be amazing to make it as a carpet or a bag because you brother's skin's fair and lovely. But if I were feeling merciful then I'll just let him die alone. I'll let him bleed to death." Sydney licked his lips at the thought. "I'd wonder how many hours will it take for a person to die as they bleed to their own death."

"You fucking psychopath!"

"Last time I checked, I'm pretty sure that I'm just someone who's considered normal compared to my brothers." The man smiled sweetly at him.

Sydney then pushed the man away, making him stumble.

"The next time you interrupt my alone time with my little dove then you know what's going to happen." He warned, his eyes were wide with mirth dancing around it. His smile was something that looked like a character out from a horror movie.

Viviet was literally scared. He was scared of what Sydney could do. He was scared of his power. He was scared of the expression that the man had just pulled.

In all honesty, Viviet was scared of Sydney Julianne Cattaneo.

Of SJC.

He walked away from the shaking man and immediately rushed towards his Luca.

Protectively taking Luca away from Pierre's hold, Sydney immediately kissed Luca's soft temple.

"I'm sorry for ruining our day, baby doll." He sadly apologized. "Big brother was having troubles with that man."

Luca pouted and glared at him. "My stwabewies!"

"I know, Lu, I know and I'm sorry... " The man said with a sigh. "Sorry about your ice-cream."

Luca frowned. "Buy me another one?"

Sydney looked at her in confusion. "What?"

"Day's not over till we buy ice cream again!"

Sydney couldn't help but chuckle at her childishness. "What flavor?"

Luca giggled again. "Stwabewies!"

Sydney grinned. "Strawberries it is then!"

As they started to walk away, Pierre piped up.

"Sir, what about-"

"Kill him."

Pierre froze.

"What?"

Sydney gave him a sideway glance that made Pierre shiver.

"I already told you, didn't I?" He asked. "Kill. Him. "

Pierre grumbled immediately. "You had every chance to do so."

"What? And soil my precious hands?" Sydney dramatically gasped. "I don't want my hands to stain! I'm holding Luca here."

Pierre sighed. "Fine."

"Good."

Luca was just watching their interaction while she laid her head on her brother's shoulder.

When Pierre didn't immediately leave Sydney's side, he snapped.

"What now?"

Pierre couldn't hold a snort. "Told you that you're sadistically protective. Just like your brothers."

Sydney raised a brow. "But I was nice. Unlike my brothers."

Pierre shook his head. "Whatever you say."

"Just shut up!" Sydney grumbled.

"Yeah! Shut up, Mr. Pierre!" Luca repeated, making the two look at her in surprise.

"See? You're teaching Luca some bad things now!"

"It's for the better." Sydney stated.

"It's not!"

"It is, Mr. Pierre! You talk too much!"

"Luca!" Pierre sadly cried out.
