^^^^ Couch that Emiliano pushed Esmerelda- Antoinette on^^^^

Esmerelda- Antoinette's POV:

"You felt excluded, when were you gonna tell your family you knew about the Mafia." Matteo cuts in. I flinched when he yelled. Out of all the people I never expected Matteo to yell. I guess people change.

"Don't you dare put the blame on me? If you expect me to open up, you have to be honest with me. Clearly, you weren't!" I say in a stern voice. I was breathing harshly.

"No, we're your guardi-" Lorenzo said. I scoffed and interrupted him. The audacity.

On paper you are but y'all are nothing to me." The second I said that sentence. Emiliano grabbed me roughly and threw me over his shoulder. I punched his back screaming at him to put me down.

"Put me down you big monster. Help Help! They are kidna-" I felt Vincenzo's hand muffle my pleas.

"Shut the f*ck up, one more word out of your mouth and you're never going to see daylight ever again," Emiliano said darkly. Pffft. As if he would do that.

"Yeah right. You would never kill me." I roll my eyes. He chuckled. Huh?!

"Who said anything about killing? For all I know I could lock you up in the mansion. You'll never see your friends or daylight." He said strictly. Oh f*ck no. I don't wanna be on f*cking house arrest.

"Also you spoke so, I guess it's house arrest," Emiliano says casually. AAAAAH!

"No no no no no! Please don't, I'll do anything." Trying to take down Emiliano was absolutely no use. He was too big and strong. Unfair advantage if you ask me. Right when I was about to continue my rant my angels came to the same. Yep, you guessed it, the Royals.

"Yo what y'all doing with our girl Esme huh?" Hugo says. Aah Hugo. We love him

"Your girl huh! Who the f*ck are y'all anyway" Valentino scoffs. I could see the rest of my family at the mention of your girl. I mean they didn't think I was in a relationship with these four boys. Pfft! That would be so weird like me and the Royals. Bruh you playing.

"She's our best friend and a certified Royal. Looks like she doesn't want to be with y'all isn't that right Esme?" Bishop says darkly. I nod in response.

"Yeah f*ck off man. She doesn't like you." Roman says, protectively.

"Look gentlemen, I suggest you leave Esme alone for your own good. She doesn't like being touched by unfriendly hands." Kai finishes off. I love my friends. I felt the tension grow between them and knew that a fight would break out and that would ruin my reputation, the Royals reputation, and my family's reputation thus I must be a better human being.

"Guys, It's fine, it's not like they're gonna hurt me. Plus we don't want unnecessary fights to break out. I'll call you if I need help. You know I can kick their a*s if I need to right?" I say casually. The boy knew I could handle the worst-case scenario. Plus my family won't hurt me, plus one call and I could ask Sylvester to make their life and Mafia a living hell. The perks of power, I snicker to myself.

"You sure. If you need anything we're just a call away." Roman says. I nod stiffly.

Lorenzo and the rest of my family rudely pushed past the Royals. I give them a curt wave. I was still slung like a bag of potatoes on Emiliano's back with almost everybody at the ball looking at the scene my brothers have caused. Ugh! It's the lack of maturity for me. Each family got into their respective vehicles which consisted of the usual Audi's, Ferrari's, BMW's, nothing unique to a rich person. I was roughly pushed into the back seat of the car. Lorenzo was driving with Matteo in the front passenger seat. Beside me was Emiliano and on my other side was my Dad. Great no escape routes here.

Two cars went ahead of us then our car and then two behind us. Really, did they have to take extra precautions? I roll my eyes inwardly. Don't want to get into more trouble than I'm already in. About 20 minutes later I decided to break the unhealthy and creepy silence in our car. The drive was gonna take a long time according to the GPS. We had an easy half an hour left till we arrived home. Home, it's been a while since I've had one of those.

"Ehem, so what have y'all been up to?" I clear my throat and say. No one responds. I could just see that Lorenzo's hands on the wheel tightened. Jeez, I've made Lorenzo quite mad. I chuckle to myself. I was ignored graciously by my own family. It's not like I need their company anyway. I decided my best bet was to go to sleep. I started counting sheep that had pink floof on them in my head until I reached 100. Soon I felt my eyes feel heavy. My head rolled to the side onto my dad's shoulder. I felt his shoulders relax under me. All the tense behavior was gone and right before I fell asleep I heard Emiliano whisper "Welcome back, Bambina. Don't ever scare us like that again." I rolled my eyes in my head again. Lies.

Somehow as if I sensed the car arriving at the Romano mansion I woke up abruptly. I looked to my side and saw a bit of my dad's suit was stained with my drool. Welp! He can wash it.

Emiliano exited from the car as did the others. While Emiliano got out of the car he grabbed me gently but sternly by the shoulder and pulled me with him. Ugh, Jeez. What's with the manhandling. I was so close to just pushing his hand off my shoulder. We entered the oh-so-familiar mansion at 2 am. Aah, maybe we could sort all of this drama tomorrow when I have my beauty sleep. That's what I assumed the plan was but turns out I was wrong. I was very wrong.

"Everybody, Family meeting now in the living room. We have a lot of sh*t to discuss." Lorenzo said cursing for the first time in front of me. OMG! This is so weird. Lorenzo swearing, I thought he was the scary, strict but non-profanity brother. Turns out I was wrong, again. We all gathered in the living room and Emiliano pushed me onto the comfy couch. I huffed and crossed my arms. I did not want to do this.

"Okay listen up Bambina, we're gonna ask you questions and you're going to answer them. Is that clear?" My dad says darkly. I snort out loud. Did they actually think they could use that tone with me?

"Umm no. You can ask a question then I ask a question we both respond truthfully. It's either that or no deal buddy." I say Sicily. I tilt my head to the side knowing they were going to agree.

"Fine." Armani spat out before Lorenzo could answer. Hmm, Armani, it's been a while, hasn't it?

"How long have you been the don of the three mafias?" Vincenzo asks me. I smirk.

"Ever since I was twelve. The Irish one however was recent. Probably half a year ago." I say casually.

"My turn. When were y'all gonna tell me about the Italian Mafia, and the Sicilian Mafia?" I ask, looking at my manicured nails. Somehow they seemed much more interesting.

"Never. It was too dangerous for you. Still is." Lorenzo says gruffly. I roll my eyes and scoff.

"Who were the four boys that had the audacity to stop us?" Dante speaks up. Oh, the Royals.

"Oh, they're my best friends. I'm part of their friend group. We're called the Royals. Bishop, Hugo, Kai, and Roman. Some of the most powerful people I know in this world. You can do a background check if you want. Cause I know it's your thing to snoop into people's privacy." I say sarcastically.

"Why is there literally no information about you anywhere?" I ask. Vincenzo smirks.

"We just have good lawyers who can hide it." He looks at Sergio. Oh, Sergio, the lawyer of the Famiglia.

"What is the name of the person managing all your businesses right now. You're only 14." Val says.

"Oh, Sylvester. He's my consigliere. He won an award at the ball today." I say.

"When were y'all going to tell me about the tracker in my necklace? Was it actually a loving gift or was it to track me?" I ask. Their response better be good or I'm about to lose my sh*t.

"To Track. What's your relationship with Alexander and Ryder-Blake?" Armani asks. I laugh.

"Oh, there you could say more than acquaintances, more than partners, less than friends." I clarify.

"What is your involvement with Legge del Sangue?" This will catch them off guard. The one and the only reason I actually need my family. To catch the number one political and moral threat in Italia today.

"They are our immediate attorney availability source. Partners you could say." Bingo! I smirk
