Third Person POV 

Sam and Ebony watched as James paced around the room, obviously trying to get understand what the hell was going on around him. Jules was sat in the corner, watching him with a worried look on her face as Charlie stood closely next to Sam. 

"How could you not tell me for all these years?", James asked Jules furiously, his teeth grinding together enraged. Jules stayed silent for a moment before shaking her head.

"How would I even start that conversation?", Jules asked him as he shook his head at her, shrugging his shoulders as he sighed deeply. He understood why fully but his denial is what made him stay calm. 

"And how long did you know about Sam and Charlie? Their weird family", He asked Jules, his hands on his hips tightly as he glared at her. She got up slowly and went over to him, aware of his ticking behaviour. 

"When I got shot, I recognised our peoples crest however I had no idea why they were at their house shooting at us, it's only when Charlie explained at the hospital that I put it all together", Jules said desperately, trying to calm James down as he sat down onto the floor with his legs crossed, breathing heavily as Jules knelt down in front of him.

"I'm really sorry we didn't tell you but we didn't know how you would react and you would of never of seen them again nor your father", She said, thinking it would make him feel better but it made him feel worst, upset that his mother would never of told him otherwise. 

"Look, as much as this upsets you James, this sucks for all of us", Ebony said, annoyed at his temper tantrum. James turned to her and raised his eyebrows, his head going to the side slightly.

"Why would this suck for you?", He asked her harshly as she glared at him.

"Because now we have to put up with your family against ours way more than before because of you and your mother", She said back with the same harsh tone he gave her. Jules looked at Charlie as they both shook their head. 

"Oh, I'm sorry, are my family issues causing a problem for you Ebony?", James asked her sarcastically with a high voice, as she stuck her tongue out at him with sass. She nodded her head in response and sat on the floor with her legs crossed, her arms over her chest. 

"Why don't we just go back home?", Sam said quietly to them all as Ebony turned to her with a hurt expression.

"You want to leave me?", She asked as Sam shook her head yet she was hesitant. 

"I just want things to go back to the way they were", Sam said softly as they all looked at her with a sad expression on their face. Charlie shook his head at her and knelt down to her level, still too tall for Sam as she needed to lift her head up so she could look him in the eye.

"We can't Sam, I know you hate change but we need to accept this one, and I thought you were enjoying yourself with our brothers, you guys seemed to have bonded?", He asked her with a smile as she looked at him with a straight face before looking at Jules and James with her head hitting her chest. 

"But if we choose our new family, we lose the old one. We are quite literally natural enemies, and if we go with our brothers, we will lose a brother and a mother", She said coldly, not wanting to show how much it affected her but Charlie looked to Jules with a worried look on her face. 

"Whatever happens, we will still be your family", Jules said as she pulled Sam into a hug, the first hug they had ever had for as long as they have known each other. Sam froze for a moment before hugging Jules tightly as she did the same, whispering in her ear as James and Ebony started to argue in the background. 

"Alright, enough", Adam said coldly as he entered the room, Leo, Aiden, Max, Chris and Raymond following him as they sat around the room. Jules brought James closely to her as Ebony went over to Sam. 

"We have made a deal with your sons", Leo said nicely to Jules with a smile, though it was soon disappeared when James glared at him. 

"And what is this little mans problem?", Aiden asked him with a smirk, Max giving Charlie a smirk as he shook his head at them. 

"You killed my father", James said harshly as Max put his hand to his chest and gasped jokingly. Sam turned to them and glared at them the same way James did as she went over to him, patting him on the arm, knowing first hand how mean her brother could be. 

"Technically we didn't touch him", Max said with a smile as Leo turned to them all and waved them out the room, shaking his head at their pure cruelty. James held onto Sam tightly as Adam and Leo gave each other knowing looks before sighing.

"What's the deal you made with them?", Jules asked them softly, aware of Charlie in the room. 

"Peace, well ownership", Adam said with an arrogant smirk as they turned to him in confusion. Jules stared at him, motioning him to continue as James stared at them both. 

"We own them now", Leo said calmly with his arms crossed over his chest. 

"What the hell does that even mean?", James asked them harshly as Sam patted him on the back, calming him down as Ebony stood with Charlie, aware that she would be taken back home if Charlie wasn't there to disagree. 

"It means that whatever they do, we are aware of it, every business deal, every cent that they make, we are aware of it. They also wanted something in return which we agreed to happily to keep the peace", Adam said with a smile towards Jules as she pulled James towards her.

"What did they want?", Jules asked Adam as Leo went towards Sam and Charlie as the other brothers came back into the room, surrounding their younger siblings. 

"You", Adam said coldly as Jules shook her head.

"What?", Charlie asked them harshly as he quickly walked over to Jules and James and protectively put his arm around them. Adam nodded his head as Sam stood still next to Ebony.

"They wanted you guys to go back with them to Spain, keep you guys safe. It's rather sweet don't you think?", Max said sarcastically as he clicked his fingers and more men came into the room.

"It's our choice to go with them. Not yours. You do not own us. Now me and my son will leave back to where we belong", Jules said coldly as she moved towards the door with James hugged tightly to her arm as Adam shook his head.

"We want you to understand we are doing this for the benefit of both of our families. James is the same age as Sam so we aren't unsympathetic to you with him however, if you go back with them willingly, it will keep James and Sam safe", Leo said nicely as Jules stood for moment, frozen.

She knew they were right, James would be much safer if she agreed to go with her sons but she knew how her ex-husband used to be with her, she didn't want to go live in a house where she is surrounded by miniature versions of him. 

"Mum, I want to go with them", James said confidently as she sat down onto one of the office desks, her head low as she realised she didn't have a choice. 

"Why can't they stay with us? They are our family", Charlie asked Adam with a cross look on his face as Sam nodded in agreement. She wanted a but of normality back, and she was heading to school soon. She selfishly thought of being alone in class and detested the idea of him not being around to keep the other kids from picking on her. 

"They are your family Charlie. I'm sorry, I know you have spent a lot of time with these people but they are part of the Spanish mafia, we cannot trust them", Leo said softly to Charlie as he huffed in annoyance. Raymond smiled at him, happy that Charlie is now acting his age rather than acting as a father for Sam. 

"Alright", Jules said after a few minutes of silence, standing up with a determined look on her face. She turned to Adam and gave him a mean glare.

"I will go with them willingly and so will James, but I also have one condition that you must keep", She said, her head up high now. Adam nodded his head and smiled at her, as if he already knew what she wanted from him.

"Nothing happens to my children, including Sam and Charlie. And if something happens to me and James because of my other children, then you must come and take us back with you. Deal?". Jules said harshly as Leo nodded his head in agreement, Adam staying still. 

"Alright, Sam and Charlie, we will contact you when we are safe and update you on the situation", Jules said, her tone turning soft as she spoke to Sam and Charlie. She gave them a small hug each as James did the same, giving Sam a small peck on the cheek.

Adam and Leo gave each other a look before quickly moving in front of Aiden, Max and Chris as they looked like they were about to lunge at James. Raymond stood in front of Charlie as he himself kept calm.

Sam went a bright red as Ebony bumped her shoulder playfully with a smirk on her face. 

"Alright then", Jules said with a straight face as she stared at James, who had also gone bright red. He gave Charlie a huge hug before running out the room and following one of the guards out, Jules gave Sam and Charlie one last look before following James. 

"Well then, looks like Sam has a boyfriend", Ebony said with a grin and a laugh as all brothers at the same time said:

"No she does not", With a harsh tone. Ebony laughed at them before heading out the room, Sam following behind her with Charlie still stood still, trying to process everything before following Sam out. 

"We can now go home", Adam said loudly as the boys cheered.
