"I think you should worry about your own life rather than hers."

The mocking tone of Mark pulled our attention to him. He was still standing beside the door while resting his back against the wall.

His dark raven-colored hair shone brightly in the light that was illuminating the room. And the slightest glimpse of the tattoos that were covering his wrists was peeking through the sleeves of his nightshirt.

The moment he entered the room and signaled me to stay silent, I had no clue about what was going on with him.

It was probably the second time I saw him in my temporary bedroom ever since I was shifted there.

But then I heard Leo's light footsteps in the hallway as he sneaked towards my room. At that moment, the realization dawned on me.

Mark was there to caught his youngest brother red-handed and just thinking about the lecture that Leo would be getting from Domenic, made me cringe inside.

At first, I was totally irritated by Leo's daily night visits. Ever since the night, around one and a half weeks ago, when I dreamed about those dark memories of my past, I realized that most of the Alessandro brothers were constantly checking on me every night.

They probably wanted to make sure that I was not struggling with those nightmares again.

The fact that none of them asked me any questions about my dreams and me screaming and crying out loudly in the middle of the night, was making my head spin in confusion.

I was happy that they were giving me space and not bombarding me with their questions. Because no matter how much they tried, I would never have been able to tell them anything.

But at the same time, their silence about my nightmare episodes and composed behavior around me all the time was making me question their motives.

Even though they probably were just trying to be polite. But the fact that they never brought up the topic of the fire that I set up in my room without any reason and those nightmares, my brain had started to question them.

However, I just decided to ignore those questions in my mind for the time being and let myself get over the last episode of my nightmare.

I remembered waking up in the middle of the nights and finding either Daniel or sometimes even Domenic, sitting on the chair next to my bed.

Sometimes they would be resting there with their eyes closed and sometimes they would be busy in taking care of their office work.

Often, I found Domenic working on his laptop around two or three in the morning and he looked really tired at those moments.

And for some silly reasons, I felt bad for the Ice King because deep down in my heart I knew that he was a good person, all the Alessandro brothers were.

But both Domenic and Daniel only visited me for the first three days after my nightmare incident.

After that, they got busied with important office work and I barely saw any of them around the house.

Crist kept visiting me to wish me good nights and share his warm hugs. And to my surprise, Simon always accompanied him during his visits.

Even though he, Simon, remained silent all the time and barely even looked at me, but the fact that he took the initiative of visiting me every day was enough to fill my heart with a little bit of warmth for him.

And as for Leo, he just became a living headache of mine.

The others only paid me short visits. However, the youngest Alessandro master was hell-bent on sleeping in the same room as me so that he would be there when my nightmares returned.

Initially, I was completely against the idea and that's why Domenic prohibited Leo from stepping inside my room after eleven o'clock.

But Leo was....well, Leo! How could he just back down just because he was told?

And that was how I found him sleeping at the other side of the bed with his warm hands holding my little ones on the very same night when Domenic and Daniel were busy in the office and could not return to the mansion.

The youngest Alessandro master sure had some guts and just because I did not want to be the reason for getting Leo punished, I made sure to wake him up around four o'clock every morning so that he could return to his room before the others could wake up.

As time kept passing, I came to realize that as long as I was in the company of any of the Alessandro brothers, the nightmares did not disturb my sleep.

And just because of that I accepted Leo's daily night visits because along with him, he always brought calmness and serenity for me.

Both me and Leo were oblivious that we were trying to deceive the Ruler of the Alessandro Empire, a person who was able to hold such a huge Empire at the top of his world, how could he not see the game that his younger siblings were playing?

However, he never said or did anything. Remaining completely silent as the days kept passing.

But Mark was not the same as Domenic. He finally found a way to take out his frustration at Leo and he sure was not going to let go of such an opportunity.

"Hehe! Brother Mark, you are here too. What a coincidence! I came here to ask Em if she needed something. What about you?"

Leo was looking at Mark with such fake curiosity in his eyes that it almost made me scoff at his poor acting performance.

"Can you please deal with your stuff in your own rooms? I'm sleepy." I murdered softly as I stared at the dream catcher that was hanging beside the lamp that was sitting on the bedside table.

I was expecting a mocking remark from Mark or at least a scoff, however, I watched in shock as he pulled Leo out of the room and closed the door behind them.

Well? Maybe he could also act sensibly sometimes.
