Esmerelda- Antoinette's POV:

I woke up for the first time with a good sleep. Last night's memories flood into my mind. The nightmares, them trying to wake me up, my father crying, Isabella bringing me a glass of milk, Emiliano cuddling and sleeping with me. Well it could have been worse. Always be optimistic in life. That is basically my motto. I try to get up and stretch but I see I was bound by a heavy object. Correction, not an object but none other than Emiliano who was sleeping soundly with an arm grasping me tightly. I felt protected in his arms. At this rate I won't need sleeping pills to have at least a wink of sleep. I was a very tiny human so I slid down Emi's arms and got free from his grasps. I checked the time and saw it read 7:45 am. This is the latest I have woken up in two years. It feels nice. I go to my bathroom and brush my teeth. I decide to take a warm shower and get ready for the day. I feel happy but another side of me feels very anxious. Mainly because of the questioning I might get from Lorenzo. He scares me. I have a few tasks to do today with my work. A few meetings with the IT department in Diamonds and Co and approving a few weapon designs. I am also thinking of oppening another coffee shop in Italy and bringing and hiring some assassins to stop human trafficking and drug dealing. Italy is known to have a lot of criminals, especially since it is the roots of many traitors and enemies of the Italian mafia. I don't know much about the Italian mafia or any mafia in fact. I am just aware of my own mafias that I own which are the French and Russian. I also have to discuss shipment planning with my consigliere. So much to do. I get out of the shower and wear a cute yet comfy outfit. It was a simple black hoodie and grey sweatpants with a beanie. I looked at my bed again to still see Emiliano sleeping and cuddling a pillow. I go up to him and plant a soft kiss on his cheek and tuck him in well. I head down stairs to eat breakfast but not before I bring my laptop, iPhone and notepad. My notepad is locked with a key that I wear on my neck as a cute necklace. My notepad is one of the most valuable things to me as it has most of my ideas and information that I will most likely refer back to and want to keep confidential.

I came out of my room and tried looking for the stairs. After about 5 minutes of searching I gave up. Just for my luck I saw Sergio walking my way. I gave him a quick cute wave and ran to him. He picked me up and twirled me around. I gave him a kiss on the cheek as he placed me down again.

"Ummm Gio can you show me the way downstairs." I ask politely.

"I am Sergio, not Giovanni how could you forget my name....." He gasps and exaggerates. I giggle at his funny behaviour.

"Nooo you are Gio. Gio is short for Sergio and as for Giovanni I call him Van-Van." I say, still laughing hysterically.

"Are you done laughing bambina." he chuckles at me. I get back my composure and nod.

"Word baby girl." He cooed softly.

"Yes Gio." I respond. He nods in approval.

"Words Gio." I tell him and laugh harder.

"Bambina, you are the youngest so you respond to me not the other way round." He scolds me and I zip my mouth from laughter. He grabs my hands as we head down a flight of stairs.

"Goooooood Morning Everybody!" I say joyfully with my bag full of work stuff in my hands. Me and Sergio walk into the kitchen as I smell delicious pancakes. It has been over 2 years since I have had any sort of breakfast.

"Good Morning Principessa." My father says and opens his arms. I jump into his fatherly arms as he swings me around like a cheeky monkey.

"You are ready for breakfast." Matteo says as he was plating up a stack of pancakes, cut up strawberries and maple syrup for me." That looked like way too much food for my tiny belly. Nevertheless I still agreed.

"Yes Te-Te" I say, remembering that I needed to use my words. After about ten minutes everybody was eating breakfast all together. Isabella and Matteo had made breakfast. Emiliano even came downstairs from his beauty sleep just as we were about to be seated. We were all enjoying breakfast until the moment I was dreading came upon me.

"Anyway Bambina, I must ask you what was that yesterday." Loreno asks me sternly. His eyes of dominance make me shiver.

"Oh that was nothi-" As I was going to complete my response I was interrupted by an authoritarian Father and Oldest Brother voice.

"That yesterday bambina was not nothing. Don't ignore this." Lorenzo says.

"Tesoro, I don't want to do this but you will answer us, this is for your own good." Their yelling causes tears to prickle in my eyes. Isabella was patting my dad trying to calm him down. Lorenzo was waiting for my response. Dante took me in his lap, in hopes to comfort my tears.

"I-I have a sle-eping cond-tion. I have Ins-omnia." I break the news. I swore I heard Vincenzo and Valentino mutter something like "I knew it.".

"Father Insomnia is caused by a bad trauma many times. My twin and twin will take her to our clinic later today. Actually you know what... We can all go and see the answers ourselves.'' Vincenzo says. Why did he have to do that. I burst into more tears and shiver for the coming situation. Dante rubs circles on my back. Isabella got up and poured some warm milk in a glass and gave it to me. She quietly went back to her seat.

"The milk will help you calm down." Matteo says. I nod and start sipping it. After a few minutes I managed to calm down and fewer tears wet my face.

"Okay now that you have calmed down bambina, we have some rules to discuss." Lorenzo says.

"First rule, Always respect us and anybody elder to you.

Second rule, Never lie to us.

Third rule, No swearing whatsoever.

Fourth rule, verbal responses only

Fifth rule, No going to the third floor or the basement

Sixth rule, Always come to eat breakfast and dinner as a family together

Seventh rule, get good grades in school. Only A's and B's are accepted.

Eighth rule, Bedtime is at 10:00 pm.

Ninth rule, listen to everything we say... Do you understand?" Lorenzo says.

"Yes I do." I respond verbally. He nods.

"Now for the punishments in case you break any of these rules." My father says.

"Punishments include, early bedtime, no gadgets, no phones, no sugar or candy and may change based on the severity of the punishment. Am I clear" My father says in dominance.

"Yes, crystal clear." I say as we continue to finish our delicious breakfast.
