A MONTH LATER I had just finished packing when Wolf and Poison walked in. "Ready little demon?" Bray asks "Always." I say grinning They grab my bags and Lexi, Alex and Viv all meet me out front. There was a limo waiting on us and I smile. "Man always over does it" I mumble "Call us when you land to let us know you made it" Liam tells me "Always baby" I tell him I wrap around him and hug him and he hugs me tightly and kisses the top of my head. I pull back and look at his boyfriend. "Take care of my guy while i'm gone" I tell him sternly "I got him sunshine. Have fun sweets" He says kissing my forehead I turn and Bray pulls me into his arms and kisses me. "be safe" He tells me when he pulls back I nod and he moves away and I look up at Wolf and raise my arms and he chuckles. He leans down lifting me and I kiss him softly. He places me down and steps back. "Be safe" I say sliding into the limo TIME SKIP LANDING IN ITALY When we land I walk off the Jet to see Leo waiting on us. "Leo" I squeal I talk off racing towards him leaping at him. He laughs and spins me around hugging me close. "I have missed you Bella" He says placing me down "I missed you too" I say "Who is this?" He asks I look behind me and grin. "Leo this is Alexis, Alexandra and Vivian. It seems Mas has taking a liking for Viv here" I say smirking Viv smacks me and I giggle. "Let's get you ladies to the hotel. Boss has got the best room for you all. Pent house. You will all have your own room" Leo tells us We pile into the SUV and he drives to the Hotel Cipriani and I grin. Leo walks us to the front desk and a woman smiles at him. "Mr. Costa called about the penthouse" Leo says Her eyes widen and she nods. "Of course. Here are your keys. Ladies the spa is available at all times. Room service is open all day and night. A car is available at any time." She says with a smile "Thank you Melanie" I say "Your most welcome." she says Leo leads us up and to our room and places our bags in our desired rooms and I sigh. I walk over opening the balcony doors and grins. "To your liking Bella?" I head behind me I spin around to see all my boys standing there. I grin and walk over hugging them all. "It's amazing. Thank you daddy" I say to him "Your most welcome. I scheduled dinner tonight for us all. I know flying tires you out" He tells me "Shopping?" I ask "Of course. New dresses for all my girls" He says with a smile "Shopping?" Alex whispers I lift her up on my hip and smile. "Yeah Bunny. A new dress for dinner. And let me tell you they have the best ice cream for dessert" I tell her Her eyes light up and I grin. I place her down and Mas holds up keys and my jaw drops. "I already talked to Viv, she is going to ride with Alex in the SUV with me. Your car is downstairs for you and Alexis. Get moving" He commands I run off getting what I need and when I come back we head down and my car was parked outside. Lex's jaw dropped and I smirked. Mas opens my door and Geo opens Lex's. I crank it and connect my phone and smile. "Keep up" I say "I'm taking the bike" Geo says smirking Everyone gets in their vehicles and I hit play on the music and Lex grins. I rev the engine and hit the gas and we take off. The windows were down and Lex squeals. I weaved in and out of traffic and a redlight stopped us. I stopped and Lex was singing in her seat and I joined her. We took off again and pulled up to a boutique Mas always brought me to. I stepped out tossing my keys to Geo and us ladies walked in. "Miss. Annalise" I hear "Abby." I say hugging her "It's so nice to see you lovely" she tells me "You too. Abby we need your help. We all need the works for dinner tonight" I tell her "I already pulled a bunch of stuff. Boys take a seat or buzz off. I will be busy." Abby commands "We will take a walk" Mas says "Follow me" Abby says I take a seat letting Alex go first. She shows me each one and grins. "This one Aunt Lise" She says with a squeal "Alright Bunny." I say nodding with a grin Viv goes next and I smile when she picks. Soon enough me and Lex were choosing ours. "Annalise I picked this one specifically" Abby tells me She pulls it out and my jaw drops. "Yes please" I say grinning I try it on and it fit like a glove. she got us all shoes to match and we were set. When we walk back out Mas stops us. He kneels down next to Alex and opens a velvet box. It had earrings and a necklace in it. "I can keep?" She whispers "Yes peep. They are all yours" He tells her He helps her with her necklace and Lex adds her earrings. She leaps at Mas hugging him and he hugs her close. "Thank you papa" She says He looks at me in shock and I smile at him. "your welcome peep" he says He stands and clears his throat and another box was passed to him. He steps up to Lex and she gulps as he opens it. Her jaw drops and he grins. "I can't" She says shaking her head "you can. It's a gift. It's part of the experience" He tells her She takes it and hugs him and he smiles and hugs her back. He moves on to Viv and she smiles softly. "It's beautiful. thank you" she tells him He nods and steps up to me and I grin. "Mas I have enough jewelry" I tell him He rolls his eyes and opens the box and my jaw drops. "Thank you daddy" I tell him "Always sweet girl. Insurance on all just encase. Now are you all set?" He asks "I think so" I tell him "Stella is waiting with her team at the hotel" he says Geo hands me my keys and we head back for the hotel. When we enter the penthouse Stella grins. "My goregous girl." She says hugging me "Hi Stella" I say hugging her back "Alright ladies let's get moving" she commands We all take chairs and they get to work. Three hours later we were all ready to go. I decided to step out onto the balcony and call the guys. Wolf picked up on the first ring and his eyes widened. "Hey Firefly" He says "Hey. I just wanted to call and check in before we head for dinner" I tell him "Are you having fun?" He asks "I am. I have missed it here. Mas arranged it so we will be there three weeks at most. I want to show the girls my second home" i say grinning "Three weeks?" He says in shock "yeah. It will be a while before I come back so three weeks." I say softly "Hey baby" Bray says leaning down "Hey. How was your day?" I ask "It was good. Got a few cars out finally so we can take some more in" He tells me "That's good. Look tell Liam I say hey but I need to run. They are claiming they are staring and if I'm late they will eat me for dinner" I say giggling They tell me bye and we head down to meet the boys at the dining room. When I make it to the door I was stopped. "Sorry Ma'am. Private event tonight" He tells me "I am the event" I tell him "nice try lady. back off" He snaps "Want to repeat that?" Masimo says behind him "Sorry Sir. She was trying to enter" He stutters out "As she should. It's her event" He snarls The mans eyes widen and he looks at me in fear. "Get out" I snap "Miss Annalise. Please allow me" Melanie says She opens the doors and I walk in and see all the guys standing around talking. Val's jaw drops and I grin at him. He sweeps me off my feet spinning me around and then sitting me on my feet. "We have missed you Bella" He tells me "I've missed yall too" I tell him "Who is this?" Val asks "Val this is Alexis and her niece Alexandra and this is Viven" I tell him "Nice to meet yall." He says kneeling down to Alex's level "You too" Lex says "Say sunshine do you like cake?" He asks Alex "Yes" She whispers "Well I think the boss man had a cake made for tonight especially for you" He whispers "Papa did you have cake made?" She asks excitedly Eyes snap to him in shock and he grins. "I did Peep. But dinner first and you have to eat your veggies" He says sternly "Deal" She giggles He chuckles and scoops her up and walks off with her. "Yall mingle. I'm going to go say to a few people" I tell the girls I walk over to see Ghost with his back to me and I wrap my arms around his huge waist and squeeze. He tenses and then chuckles. "Hello darling" He says gruffly "Hi Casper" I say into his back I pull back and step around him to look up at him. He twirls his finger and I spin and he nods when I look back up. "No bruises" I say softly "And there shouldn't be. I would have to have to end them before it even starts" He tells me My jaw drops and he chuckles. "How?" I ask "I'm a ghost for a reason. But I can see they make you happy" He says "Sunshine?" I hear I spin to see Gloria and smile. "Gloria" I squeal I race over to her in my heels and hug her tightly. "How are you sunshine?" she asks "I'm great Gloria. I missed this though" I tell her "Italy is always your home. I missed my little ray of Sunshine. When the master told me you were in town I had to see you" She tells me "I missed you and your cooking." I tell her "Well I will cook for you one night while your here. Maybe spend some girl time if that's alright" She offers "Of course it's alright. I need a major shopping trip" I tell her "Time to eat" Mas says behind me Leo steps up and offers me his arm and I take it and he leads me to my chair and helps me into it. Mas helps Viv and I smile. The first course is brought out and I notice it's more laid back that normal. I raise a brow at Mas and he winks. "I see we got some new faces" I comment "Yeah. Had to hire some new ones" Mas tells me "Mas please tell me you didn't hire new ones cause we are here for a bit?" I tell him "Ok I won't" He says "Mas we will be fine" I tell him "This isn't up for discussion" He tells me sternly I growl and the boys chuckle. "They may bow to you but I won't. Use that tone with me again and we will f*****g leave" I snarl His eyes widen and so do the guys. "Your right as always Bella. I'm sorry" He tells me Jaws drop and Austin strolls in. I stand and he comes over kissing me. "hey baby" He tells me "Hi. I didn't know you were flying in" I tell him "I have a week off figured I'd come home and your here" He tells me "well I'm glad. Those other two are always around" I say winking at him He laughs and kisses my temple and leads me back to my seat. When we make it back I see everyone has shifted down a seat. "Dad" Austin says nodding "Welcome home" Masimo says "Guys" Austin says nodding They nod back and he places his hand on my thigh and I tense. "Sorry baby" He says He removes it and places his arm across the back of my chair. The chatter picks up and I hear one of the new guys say something about my t**s. When Alex finishes Gloria walks in. "Gloria could you show Alex and Lex the garden?" I ask "Of course. Come with me loves. It's beautiful out there" She says I nod at Lexie and she stands and they all three walk out. "Momma maybe you want to follow them" I say softly "I'm good here my love. You do you" she says sitting back smiling I stand and walk over to Casper and pull his knife from his side. Masimo's eyes widen and he goes to stand and I clear my throat. He sits back and Val's eyes harden. He stands and steps towards me and I shake my head. "Bella" He says "I said sit" I command He sits down with a huff and I walk around the table and backs stiffen. "You stand up" I says sternly He stands and steps back and I look up at him huge frame. "You know who I am Si?" I ask softly "Yes ma'am" he says nodding "You like your new job?" I ask "Yes ma'am" He says "You have siblings?" I ask "Yes ma'am. Two younger sisters" He says "Parents?" I ask "Both gone. It's just us" He says with pained filled eyes "But they have you" I say "And I them" He says softly "If someone disrespected your sisters would you go against your Don to protect them?" I ask He looks at Masimo in fright and I hold back a smirk. "I'm asking you not that asshole. Ignore him, I do" I tell him "Um I don't know how to answer that without losing a limb" He says honestly "Pretend it's just us. I'm a fellow sister and your bitching cause he did something to piss you off. Open honesty" I tell him "Yes I would" He says with a grimace I see jaws drop out of the corner of my eye. "Excellent. I like men that choose their family. Now would you consider me family?" I ask "Of course. Your important to our Don and the prince" He says nodding "Tell me what your buddy next to you was saying about me" I say with a growl to my voice "He was commenting on your chest in that dress" He says looking down at his feet "Is that approiate behavior?" I ask "No ma'am. It's disrespectful to the Don and Prince" He says softly "Thank you" I say turning from him I walk up behind the man running his mouth and yank his head back while holding the knife to his throat. "Would you like to say anything?" I ask sweetly "I'm sorry" He mumbles "What was that?" I snap "I'm sorry" He mumbles again "Since you don't want to play nice I think I'm going to let my precious Valentino have some fun" I whisper but loud enough for Val to hear The man flinches and I grin and wink at Val. Val stands and comes around to me taking the knife and kissing my temple. "Val this is one of my favorite places. Do not bloody my floors. Wait til your home to dish out his punishment" I tell him "Understood Cara." He says I back away and take my seat and Austin leans over to show me the boys were watching on a video call and I flinch. I look at Austin with fear and he frowns and hangs up. I clear my throat and pick up my wine and drain it. The doors open and Alex runs in grinning. "Lise is so pretty" She says grinning "it is bunny. It's one of my favorite spots. Tomorrow I'm taking you somewhere you will love even more." I tell her She climbs into my lap and yawns and I smile. Lexie walks up behind me and bends down whispering in my ear. I nod and she pulls back and takes her seat. Everyone was quiet and when I look up everyone was looking at me. "What?" I ask "Nothing Bella. Ready to call it a night?" Leo asks "Actually I want to change and go for a drive" I say looking at Austin He grins and I smile softly. "Then up we go baby." He tells me I lift Alex's sleeping form in my arms and stand. Everyone stands and comes around kissing my head. Masimo waits his turn and Austin takes Alex from me. "Thank you for dinner Daddy" I tell him "Your welcome sweet girl. And nice work" He says with a smirk "What can I say you and your son rubbed off on me a bit" I tell him with a grin "We need to work on your knife skills though" He tells me "I'll come to the mansion one day this week" I tell him He kisses my forehead and Austin leads me upstairs. I walk to my room and change clothes and let my hair down. I walk out and slip into Alex's room and walk over kissing her forehead. "Goodnight Bunny" I whisper I walk out and into the living room to see Austin talking to Viv and Lex. "we will be back" I tell them "Have fun and be safe" Viv says I nod and we head down and I toss my keys at Austin and he walks around opening my door and I slide in. He jogs around sliding in as well. We take off driving around and a hour later he pulls up to a little cafe. We walk in and he orders a milkshake to share and I smile. I take a seat and he follows. We sit in silence and I lean into his side and smile. Our milkshake is placed on the table and I lean forward taking a big drink and I moan softly. He chuckles and takes a drink and groans. I giggle and lay my head on his shoulder. He pulls out his phone snapping a picture of us and sends it to me. We slowly finish our milkshake and a song comes on that I love. I start humming along and before I know it was singing. When it finished it was super quiet and when I looked up everyone was looking at me. "Sorry" I say with a smile "Oh you have to do that again" A woman says pleading The man next to her chuckles. She walks over to the small jukebox and pays for a song and I smile. I start singing and get lost in it and when it finishes Austin stands and offers me his hand. Another song starts and he spins me and dances me around and when it comes to a end he dips me softly. He pulls me up kissing me softly. "Your are amazingly talented" the woman tells me "it's just a hobby but I enjoy it" I tell her She grins and Austin leads me out and back to the car. He turns the music on and places his hand on my thigh as we drive back. About thirty minutes into the drive I feel him tense. "Call dad" He commands I pick up my phone and call Masimo. "Sweet girl?" He says "Help" I say in slight panic "What's wrong?" He asks in panic "We went to our cafe for a milkshake. We are driving back and we are being followed" I whimper "Where are you Bella?" He asks "Um about fifteen from the mansion." I say "Drive this way. Leo and Geo are coming" He commands "Don't hang up" I hiccup "I'm not Bella. Breathe" He says softly Austin steps on the gas and I flinch and he rubs his thumb back and forth across my thigh. I sniffle and I see a SUV whip past us and do a 180 in the street and get behind us. Austin floors it and we turn down the road to the mansion and the gate was open waiting on us. He pulls up out front and Masimo opens my door and pulls me out and I sniffle into his chest. "Shh it's ok sweet girl. Your safe" he says Austin walks around and lifts me in his arms and carries me inside. He takes me to his room and strips me and puts a t shirt over my head and puts me in bed. "I'll be back in twenty. Relax" He tells me I nod and snuggle in and close my eyes and that's the last thing I remember.
