"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to dear Emily. Happy Birthday to you...!"

I definitely was not expecting to be awakened by the horrible singing of the Alessandro brothers as they crowded my bedroom so early in the morning.

Good thing that it was morning and not the middle of the night.

"Happy Birthday sleepyhead! It's already nine in the morning. Come on, get up." Daniel said as he planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

How could it be nine o'clock already? My eyes turned towards the digital clock that was sitting on my bedside table and a groan left my lips as I found that it was already thirteen minutes past nine.

As I started walking towards the bathroom after murmuring a small thank you to the Alessandro brothers, I got attacked by Leo as he pulled me back towards their group.

"What now?" I looked at him with frustrated eyes.

I sure was in a bad mood since I did not get a peaceful sleep the entire night and only fell asleep due to exhaustion around five in the morning.

It was not exactly nightmares that kept me awake but there was a weird kind of distress and restlessness that was surrounding not only my body but also my mind.

The entire night I kept changing my sleeping positions in order to find at least a single position that could help me relax and fell asleep.

And somewhere deep down in my heart, I probably was expecting Leo to barge into the room, however, he never appeared.

The movements around me pulled my attention back to the Alessandro brothers as I found Leo signaling towards the cake that Crist was holding in his hands.

Even though I no more liked to eat anything too sweet but my mind could not refuse that the huge chocolate cake that was sitting on the tray in Crist's hands, looked too pretty and delicious.

For the first time in so many years, I felt my mouth watering at the sight of a cake.

Just as I was about to spoke, Leo cut me off as he hurriedly said, "Don't worry. We are very well aware that you don't like cakes and that's why dear baby sis, this cake is not for you."

I was left totally confused and probably my confusion was obvious on my face because Crist immediately started explaining.

"Actually we thought that without a cake the birthday celebration won't be complete. Therefore, we decided to bake our favorite chocolate cake. All you need to do is to blow the candle and make a wish. The task of finishing this cake is ours. We won't ask you to even taste it."

"..."

I was left completely speechless at Crist's explanation.

How did they even come up with such an idea?

"Will you do it?" Leo asked as he looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"Huh?"

Only heavens knew why I was so lost that my mind could not even understand what Leo was asking me to do.

"I mean, Will you blow the candle so that we can eat it?" Leo repeated his question.

"I...I...umm...sure! It's a good idea." I replied while nodding my head for way too long than needed.

Daniel hurriedly took out a little candle from the box that he had been holding in his hands all this time and placed it in the middle of the cake before lighting it up.

I took a deep breath before closing my eyes to make a wish as suggested.

'May I get the strength and courage of fighting all the darkness surrounding my life and maybe one day I will finally bloom like a fresh new flower. Thank You!'

I slowly opened my eyes and my gaze landed on the brightly lit candle.

I blew on the candle and the sound of clapping erupted around me.

For the next ten minutes, I just sat there at the edge of my bed as I watched the Alessandro brothers enjoying the delicious cake.

By the time those ten boring and torturous minutes of my life ended, there was not even a single crumb of the cake was left. The tray was spotless and Leo even let out a satisfied sigh, adding fuel to my misery.

Why the hell was I suddenly eager to taste a cake was beyond my understanding. I just know that seeing the boys devouring the chocolate like it was the most delicious thing in the entire world, also made my mouth water.

"Are you not going to get ready for the day, Sorellina?" Daniel asked as he looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, yeah...I'm going...to get ready."

I did not waste a single more second as I hurriedly ran towards the bathroom and shut myself inside.

It barely took me half an hour to have a quick shower and get ready in my comfy black trousers and a white long-sleeved blouse with a black bow.

I arranged my hair in a side braid and after putting on sandals, I finally found myself in the dining hall where I and the Alessandro brothers had a late breakfast.

And it was not until I voiced my confusion when I saw that none of the Young Masters were planning of going to their offices that I found myself embarrassed as hell.

Why? Because it was Sunday, meaning a day off for all the Alessandro brothers!

It wasn't exactly my fault that I could not think of that possibility. First, I was not used to keeping track of the days. Second, in the last six weeks, I had barely paid attention to the daily schedule of the Young Master, and third, to be honest, it was the first time when they all were staying at the mansion on a Sunday.

Even though I was not keeping track of their daily schedule but it was not hard for me to realize that the Alessandro mansion barely had the pleasure of seeing all its Young Masters staying in the house for an entire day.
