I am now showered and dressed up in a very comfortable large tshirt and shorts.

I lye in bed and took a deep breath while watching grey ceilings.

Suddenly there is a knock in the door.

"Come in"

A man in his early twenties came.

"Miss. De luca, Mr. De luca is expecting you in his office."

I nod at him and followed him to his office.

Now what does lorenzo want from me.

"What is your name!?" I asked the man

"Mick!" He said with blank expression and leave me outside the huge door.

I gulped looking at the door.

I hesitantly knocked it twice. And a voice came

"Come in!" Well after what happened in the loving room earlier i am quite scared of this man who claimed to be my brother.

I enter inside with my head down and eyes on my legs.

Wow! They look so cool.

I peeked from my eyelashes and see old man not that old but old sitting opposite to Lorenzo.

"Come here!"

I move closer to them but not that closer.

I glanced at the old man. He looked at me up and down with a stone cold expression.

Oh my god!

His eyes. They are same as mine.

How!?

He can't be my father right!?

Soon the door is opened and in came hot and cute guy .

"nonno ora puoi spiegarci tutto nel dettaglio. giusto!?" Lorenzo said to that scary old man who in return give him a curt nod.

(Grandpa now you can explain us everything in detail right!?")

Oh so he is grandpa

Well i may or may not learn half of the italian by reading novels. I am in so much into italian mafia novels that now i can understand it but not properly only half.

Their grandpa stares me intently making me shift uncomfortable in my place and looked down.

"I am your grandfather Lucifer Alonso De luca."

I nodded at him not trusting my voice. This man is a definition of intimidation. Well who wants to argue with him.

Lorenzo smirked

"Now will you not argue about you being his granddaughter." He said and i give him this-is-not-correct-time-for-that look.

"Is there any problem hailey. Do you have any doubt in anything. You cana ask your grandfather." Old man asked with blank face

"Uh yeah! Actually well how am i ur granddaughter. And if i am then where were you till now and how are you so sure that this man here doesn't put any strings to prove his point." I first stuttered but suddenly become confident as i begin putting my point.

"You father and my son and his wife have a daughter. But doctor declared her dead as soon as she born but a nurse which is from our business rivals took you out of the hospital and throw you in orphanage and there the lady which you claimed to be your aunt adopted you and rest is the history." Old man said blankly but some words with gritted teeth.

"But why will i believe you. Anybody can come and say the same or different story to me and you want me to believe everything without any proofs huh!?" I looked at him in disbelief

His eyes shined with ahem proud.

He muttered something under his breath and then looked at me and then at lorenzo.

"Lorenzo now can you show audio to our dear hailey where that nurse is confessing her crimes as she can't see the video" old man said smirking at lorenzo who returned it with his own.

I looked at them confused and so did other two hot and cute guy.

"Sorry sorry plz don't kill them you can do anything whatever you want to me but plzz don't do anything to them. You want me to confess my crime right. Okay OKAY i am confessing it that i stole Hailey alessa De luca from the hospital and throw her on orphanage as I don't have heart to kill the innocent new born." The women cried and audio stops.

"What the fucking fuck!"  I muttered which gains me a very hard glare from old man.

"This can't be true. It means my parents doesn't even know that i am alive. Where are they know" i said as the long tear slipped my eye.

My whole life i curse my parents for creating me when they have to left me in orphanage gates but look the sad irony of life.

"They are no more." Lorenzo said blankly.

I looked at him shocked

"It means i am or..orphan!?"

I asked him on the verge of breakdown.

He looked at me with cold eyes and so did the others.

"You have us! You are not orphan and dare you say that word again" they all said together.

I hold back a cry and blinked my tears back... And nodded

"So now everything is clear or did anybody  still have any doubt??" Old man asked and everybody including me shake their head in no.

"So as everything is clear My dear Hailey we have to share some rules with you which everybody follows in this household" old man said and i nod my head.

I don't know why but i still can't believe anything.

"Dont worry it will take time for you to believe. And didn't you notice you have same features as us!?"
Old man said and i looked closely to each person present there.

Me and old man has same eyes. Lorenzo and me have same hair colour. My cheeks and nose  are just like Vincenzo and nicholas.

I nodded my head at him

"1- no cursing as use of abuse language in my house.

2- respect your elders and obey them and they will respect you back.

3- no boyfriends as it is your age for studying.

I will not tolerate anything regarding no.3 rule." He ended

"Wait wait are nicholas and vincenzo supposed to have girlfriends" i asked him

He nodded in yes

"Then why is this rule only for me?" I asked frowning at him

"Because they are adult." Lorenzo said

"So am i allowed to have them after 18?" I asked

"NO!" they all said together making me pout.

"Okay one last question! Do we have cousins?" I asked

"No" nicholas said looking at me straight in eyes

"Uncles aunts any women in this family??" I asked with hope

"No! You are the only only girl in our family." Lorenzo said making me frown.

"What about her school!?" Vincenzo asked

"Hailey do you want to be homeschooled or wants to go school" lorenzo asked

"I want to go school duh!"

"Okay! I checked your grades and they are very low. But you were great on earlier class. In fact you topped 10th grade and got  barely passed in 11th. May i know the reason!" Lorenzo asked me with blank face.

"Uh err i suppose i may or may not study properly right!?" I nervously laughed

"You are a good student and deserve more than C so if i came to know that you missed your any class or your grades didn't improve then you will not want to know the consequences." He said coldly

Urgh! Earlier i had freedom of so much thing but see

"Actually lorenzo you know i topped class 10th as my aunt promised to buy me skateboard in return. I am not good at studies. Yeah!" I laughed nervously

I am seriously not good at academics you can ask me for anything expect that. When i was in 10th my aunt promise me for skateboard which i wanted so badly so i studied so hard but after that i become my normal self.

He give me a pointed look.

"Trust me you don't want to try me little girl." He whispered darkly scaring the hell out of me.

And then you say believe that he is your brother. Which brother scared his sister like that huh!?
