As soon as Alessandro introduced me as his fiance, the little boy with Mr Vladmir ran to me and hugged my leg and said " Mama".

" Kiddo, she isn't your mama, you are mistaken," Valentino said before, I could say anything.

" No, she is my mama," The little kid said hugging me tighter.

Leonardo came and removed his arms from me and picked him up from behind.

" Put me down I want mama," the little kid wailed, his arms reaching out for me.

I was about to tell Leonardo to put him down but before I could, Alessandro whispered in my ear " Don't say anything ok darling".

I could sense warning in his voice that if I did or said anything, I won't like the consequences.

I couldn't do anything as Alessandro had his arm tightly wrapped around my waist.

" Mr put my son Cillian down," Mr Vladimir said walking towards Leonardo and his son.

" Papa, this man is a big meanie, he isn't letting me hug mama," Cillian said.

" Bubba come here I have to tell you something," Mr Vladimir said.

" No I want mama," Cillian said stomping his foot on the ground.

" Bubble, you will not listen to your papa, come here," Vladimir said and Cillian begrudgingly went to him.

He picked his son in his arms and whispered something in his ears, before putting him down.

" Sorry Miss Katelyn and Mr Leonardo," Cillian said.

" It's ok kiddo, just don't do it again," Leonardo said.

I smiled at him and said, " Sweetie you can call me Kate and if you want you can hug me again ".

With all my strength I pushed Alessandro's arm away from my waist and bend down and opened my arms, for Cillian to hug me.

He came running into my arms and hugged me tightly.

" How about we all go to the dining room and eat dinner," Alessandro said.

I looked to see Mr Vladimir nodding his head.

I took Cillian's hand and we walked to the dining room. I could feel someone burning holes in the back of my head.

I stopped walking and turned my head back to see Alessandro starting at me and his eyes were cold and empty.

It was like he was saying through his eyes that I made a mistake by not listening to him.

" Kate, why did you stop walking come on let's go " I heard Cillian said.

I gulped and turned my head back to the front and looked down at Cillian and smiled at him before continued walking.

After we reached the dining room, we all took our seats.

In front of me, Mr Vladimir was sitting, Cillian to my right and Alessandro to my left, to Alessandro's left was Leonardo and beside him Valentino and Enric. To Mr Vladimir's right was Sebastian and to left was Francisco and beside him were my birth giver and sperm donor.

Maids came and served our food which was garlic butter steak and potato and lobster

I felt a tug on my sleeve and looked to see it was Cillian.

" Yes honey," I said.

" Can you please help me eat?" He asked shyly fidgeting with his thumbs.

" Sure honey here," I said, taking a piece of steak in the fork and put it near his and he opened his mouth and ate it.

When I brought the next piece near his mouth, he took the fork from me and brought it near my mouth instead.

It went on, till both of our plates were empty.

But unknown to me, someone was burning in jealousy and someone else was staring at me with eyes full of love.

After dinner, I and Cillian were left alone in the dining room as,

Alessandro, Vladimir and all five brothers, along with my sperm donor went to discuss business. And my birth giver went to her room but not before bidding me goodnight and much to my dismay, hugging and kissing my forehead.

Which I wiped away as soon as she left.

" Kate can we please go to the backyard," Cillian asked.

" Sure why not, " I said.

I thought about asking Mr Vladimir for help but then I remembered that before going upstairs what Alessandro told me. So I dropped that idea.

After we reached the backyard. Cillian suggested that we play tag. I agreed and took off my heels and we started playing.

After some time Cillian and Vladimir went back. And I made my way back to the room.

But little did I know what was waiting for me next.
