Ariel's P.O.V.

"Ok now Enough, ARI WHERE ARE YOU"

I kept my hand on my mouth stopping myself to make any sound.

"COME OUT NOW"

"COME OUT OR YOU WILL REGRET IT LATER"

Suddenly, someone hold my leg tightly and pulled me out from under the bed.

"NO LEAVE ME" I shouted struggling in his grip but all went in vain.

He pulled me out from under my bed, making me stand, while I am still struggling to escape from his grip.

"So, here you are , now what are you going to d-" Before he could say anything, I bite his hand which are holding my arm.

"AHHHHHH" He screamed.

I took this as my chance to run away from him.

Suddenly, I bumped into someone.

"Hey Hey slowly. What happened ? Why are you running ?"

"Dad told them to stop, they are chasing me" I complained to Dad making him my human shield.

Dad looked behind me.

"Heyy you three brats, why are you chasing my princess ?" Dad said being angry on my three brothers, who are looking so funny.

"Dad she bit my hand"

"Look what she did to my face, Dad"

"Dad, she even stole my Ice Cream"

Complained Aryan, Aarav and Arjun to Dad.

Well, I just apply make up on Aarav's face when he was sleeping. I was carving for Ice Cream, so I ate it and about Ryan, he caught me and going to give me to Arjun and Aarav, so I bite his hand. I am totally innocent.

Dad looked at me raising his eyebrow while I gave him my puppy dog eyes with a pout.

He turned towards boys.

"So what ? Just because of only this you all are chasing my princess ?'' Dad asked them in stern tone. While they give him a disbelief look.

"Dad, this is not only this. Look at my face , Dad" Aarav complained.

"This makeup makes you handsome Aarav. You should thankful to my princess for hiding your ugly face, but you are chasing her ?" Now Dad asked in disbelief.

We can't help but laugh at Aarav's shocked reaction.

"Why you both are laughing ? Did you both just forget you three are identical ?" Dad asked Arjun and Aryan raising his eyebrow.

Which stopped their laugh immediately.

I laughed at this so much.

"Don't laugh, you are also our Quadruplet, so you will also came in our category" Aarav said smirking to me.

To which Dad immediately replied winking to me "Sometimes there is exceptions, son"

We both high-fived each other and laughed at their expressions.

"Dad do you know, she had a crush on Jayden" Arjun said smirking at me.

Snitch.

Dad's laugh gone. He looked at me seriously.

"Princess do you know that, you can't date now ?" He said to me softly but still sternly.

I looked at my brothers only to see them smirking.

"And why not ?" A voice said from behind us.

I looked behind to see Mom standing there with a phone.

"Hmm Damon ? You are saying something ?" Mom asked Dad by crossing her arms.

I looked behind to see my brothers and smirked knowing what is going to happen next.

"Yes. She has a crush on Jayden." Dad said seriously.

"Ok. So ?" Mom said with question full gaze.

"So ? She can't Lina" Dad said.

"And why not Damon ? I don't think so there is any problem in having crush" Mom said pulling me towards her and slightly glaring at Dad, almost daring him to say anything against her.

Dad visibly gulped and turned towards boys and said "Boys, I guess your mom is right. There is no problem in having crush"

"But Dad, we don't even know Jayden properly" Aarav protested.

Dad turned towards mom "Babe, they are not wrong tho"

"Jayden is a sweet guy. He is kind and cute. Most importantly a caring guy. And besides, she is just has a crush on him. Nothing else." Mom said to Dad again glaring.

Dad turned towards boys with puppy dog eyes “She is also right sons".

Boys looked at him in disbelief.

“Dad, b-but how can he be her boyfriend ?" Arjun stuttered because of out of words.

Dad turned towards Mom “Babe, they are also right"

“And why not" Mom said to my brothers and continued with smirk “To be honest,  If Jayden had met me years ago, he would have been your father today. So respect him."

This made everyone speechless.

“That little shit" Dad whispered but everyone could heard him.

“Now Dad, you are not going to say, she is right, huh ?" Aryan smirked, Which make Arjun and Aarav laughed and they all high-fived each other.

“Dad" I whinned.

“Sorry princess, but he is now making me jealous" He said glaring at mom who in response just smirked at him.

“Dad, mom is just joking" Mom burst out laughing at this.

I turned towards my brothers.

“Don't worry my dear brothers. I just had a little crush on him, nothing more than that. Don't behave like I am marrying him or anything. Beside this, I know he is just looking at me like a friend. So don't worry" I said sweetly smiling at them.

They looked hesistant but nevertheless smiled and nodded.

“And mo-" I turned back only to see Mom and Dad both are staring each other in eyes. Dad is looking at her like he is going to eat her but he is not looking angry while mom's eyes are widened but still there is a small smile on her lips.

I frowned but before I could say anything Bubby coughed gaining their attention.

Mom looked everywhere but us while Dad coughed. They both are looking red like tomato.

“So Mom, Did you come to tell us something ?" Ryan said smirking.

“O-Oh y-yeah, C-Casey is inviting you all in her house. So you all get ready and go there" She said still stuttering and avoiding our gaze.

“Really ? Yayyy" I immediately ran to my room to get ready not before hearing chuckles behind me.

I came to my room to select clothes.

During selection of clothes, my eyes went to my scar on thigh.

I sigh.

It's been a 6 months that happened.

Mom and Dad both changed and believe me now they are not leaving house regularly. Despite being busy, they still spend time with us. They loved us and I am not asking anything more.

Most importantly, Ryan accepted as well as forgive Mom and Dad.

About John, Ryan didn't let Arnav to kill him. He don't want Arnav to regret later knowing he killed his own father. And I understand why he did that. John is under treatment now because we come to know that he is mentally unstable.

Arnav is still 16, so he needs a guardian. Before he could go in foster care, Mary adopted him. And Arnav also love her like a mother. They both are now living in Arnav's home.

My brothers are still Mafia Kings, but now they are working together, while Arnav is their second hand. Elijah, Dylan, Oliver and Liam also want to join Mafia, so they also started taking training.

While Casey want to become a Doctor in Mafia.

About Mandy, Collin and Zeoni , I don't know where they are and how they are. Whenever I asked bubbies about them, they have only one reply “They are getting, what they deserve. So don't worry about them. They are fine"

“Ari, are you ready ?" A knock heard.

I smiled and said “Yes"

      [ My clothes ]

R

yan came in.

He looked at me up and down and said “Perfect, let's go".

Before he could leave room, I ran to him and hugged him.

He hugged me back but I know he is confused why I hugged him so suddenly.

“What happened Ari ? Are you ok ? Is anything bothering you ?" His voice laced from concern.

“Thank you" I muttered on his chest.

“Huh ? Why ?"

“Thank you for coming in my life bubby. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for always protecting me. Thank you for always stand up for me. Thank you for never leaving me alone in my hard times. In short Thank you for everything, bubs"

I feel his hands tightened around me.

I could feel wet on my shoulder.

He is crying.

I rubbed his back.

I know he want to say something but can't. I know what he wants to tell. His hug told me everything, how much he loved me, how much I mean to him.

We stayed in each other's embrace for sometime before I pulled out from my hug and wiped his tears.

“Now don't cry" I smiled at him, after wiping my tears.

“It's not my fault. You made me emotional" He pouted. I giggled.

“Crybaby" I laughed and leave room running away from him.

His eyes widened “You-" and chased me.

We came downstairs to find Arjun and Aarav ready.

“Ok, let's go" Arjun said taking his car key.

“Take care children and don't come till morning, I had a work here" Dad said.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see Mom smirk.

But why ?

“Don't mind him children, you all go and enjoy" She said smiling at us.

I smiled at them.

We left from there but not before hearing Dad said “So, Jayden is better than me, huh ?"

I frowned. Before I could turned around, Ryan pulled me with him to Arjun's car.

“TAKE CARE YOU BOTH. I DON'T WANT ANY CRYING LITTLE SHIT ROAMING IN MY HOUSE" Aarav shouted from back seat of the car.

Arjun and Aryan laughed at this.

While we hear a distant voice from inside said “FUCK OFF".

They all laughed and we left.

Time Skip ( Casey's home )

“CASEY"

“ARI"

We both hugged each other, while boys went in probably to meet others.

We pulled out from hug.

“They all are here and waiting for you all. Let's go in" she said before pulling me in her house.

I didn't even enter in house and engulfed in someone's hug.

Knowing who it is, I hugged back giggling.

“Ariiii, I missed youu" She said hugging me tightly.

“I missed you too, Sara" I grinned hugging her back as tightly.

Yes, you heard right. I forgive them. I didn't forgive them that easily. They earn my forgiveness. I saw how they were really guilty about what they did. I also saw one day in school's terrace, they were crying. That breaks my heart when I heard how really sorry they are.

And, I know Life is all about forget and forgive.

It's hard for me to forget, but I can forgive, right ?

Boys didn't show but I know, deep down they also forgive them.

Sara, Vera and Ember are not disturbing or flirting with any of my brothers now, but deep down I know they still have a crush on my brothers. And about my brothers, they are also gaining some feelings. But who am I to tell.

“Aren't you both meet yesterday in school" Dylan raised his eyebrow.

“Still, I missed her, so shut up" Sara said to him, to which he raised his hand in surrender.

We go in and Vera and Ember also hugged me. I of course hugged them back.

“Hii Ari" Jayden waved at me to which I grinned and waved him back.  Yes, he is also become our friend.

We all sat together to watch a movie.

After all the argument, ‘Friends' is decided to watch.

I sit between Arnav and Elijah, while Jayden is between Aryan and Aarav. Actually they forced him to sit between them.

Please pray for my Jay.

Casey is beside Elijah. While Dylan is sitting between Ember and Sara and Vera is beside Sara. Arjun is beside Arnav. Oliver and Liam are sitting together.

“Dude, I am feeling single" Liam said to Oliver.

“I know right" Oliver replied.

“Why you both are feeling single ?" Ember asked them.

“See, Eli and Casey" This caught their attention. Casey blushed.

“Not only Eli and Case, we have so many couples here" Liam said.

Everyone looked at him questioningly.

“Eli and Case, Arnav and Dylan, Ari and Jay are so cute couples here." Oliver replied.

I widened my eyes and looked at Jay only to see, he is gulping saliva and nervously smiled at Aarav and Aryan, who are busy in glaring at him.

“Heyyy, we are not couples. We are just friends." I protested.

“Whatever sails your boat, sweetie" Liam smirked at me.

I glared at him to which he winked at me.

They both sighed.

“That's why I am feeling so single" Oliver said.

“I know right" Liam responded.

“Why don't you both date each other, you both will not feel single" Jay suddenly told them.

Oliver and Liam both widened their eyes and immediately looked at each other with nothing but a pure Disgust.

“Ewwwww"

“What the fuck"
