Previously in the story,

We, then got into our cars and went back to my new house and family...

We reach the house and the gate opens immediately. My brothers, Caleb and Calum come running out of the house. They tell us to only get our handbags and leave the rest in the cars as the maids will get them to our rooms. They, then lead us up the staircase to our rooms i think.

We arrive at a bedroom and they open the door. We go in and the room is big and has neutral colors on the walls."

The twins~"This is Alessia's." they say at once. I think it is a twin thing.

Caleb~"If you don't like it, we can show you other rooms and you can pick one from them." he says looking at Alessia.

Alessia~"No no, its perfect. Thank you."

Calum~"Okay. Let's go show you guys Leo and Zandrea's. Then you can freshen up."

We go a few doors ahead and Caleb open the door to reveal a huge room with big windows and the view outside is spectacular. There are three doors in the room. One is a hugeee walk-in closet. The other is a spacious bathroom with a tub and shower.

Caleb opens the third door to reveal a blue and white baby room that is perfect for my baby.

My entire room is like a dream come true. It was so beautiful.

Calum~"Do you like it? We thought it would be easy for you if Leonardo's room was closer to yours."

Zandrea~"l like it hell no. I LOVE IT. Thank you alot."

Caleb~"Oh come on, you are our sorella, our princess. We didn't get to be there with you and spoil you when you were young but now we will."

Calum~"Okay. Get freshened up and meet us in the lounge room. I will go tell Adriano to give the rest of our family a call. So, they can be here till you freshen up."

Zandrea~"Okay."

Alessia~"Okay." We both say at the same time. Alessia goes to her room and i first bath and dress Leo into a cute outfit.

I then feed him and put him to sleep so i can freshen up. I quickly take a shower and get changed.

I pick a sleeping Leo up from his crib and go to Alessia's room. I find her on her bed typing scrolling on her phone.

When she sees me enter, she stands up so we can head downstairs to the lounge.

As we near the lounge room, we hear a lot of different and unknown voices. God, they are so loud. When we enter the lounge, everyone's eyes are on us and it is so silent that you can even hear the sound of a pin if dropped.

I saw my father's 2 younger brothers and their wives, a lot of cousins and a man, who looked to be in his 60s. But i did not recognize him because there was no picture of him in mama's envelope. But he looked familiar to papa and my uncles, so my guess is he might be my grandfather.

Zander~"Who are they? And why does one of them look like aunt Gianna from what i remember in the family photos that i have seen?"

Damon~"She does look like mama doesn't she?"

Lorenzo~"She is our sorella. The one next to her is her best friend, Alessia and that small baby is Leonardo." he said but his eyes remain fixed on Alessia.

I was not the only one to notice that. From the looks Adriano, Alonzo, Luca, and Vincent are giving each other, i guess they noticed too. When they saw the knowing look on my face, we all gave each other a smirk as if we could read each other's mind. Papa then told them everything till now, from mama leaving because she was pregnant with me to her death and me coming here.

When they heard about mama's death, some of their eyes watered while the others were full on crying like my aunts. When they calmed down, they started introducing themselves. I know i already knew their names but i didn't want to be rude.

Uncle Ricardo, who is the second after dad started.

Ricardo~"Hello bambina. I am your father's brother, Ricardo and this is my wife, Emily. That one there is the youngest brother of us three, Santino and his wife, Sofia." he said while pointing at uncle Santino and Aunt Sofia.

Emilia~"Hey there cara, you are so beautiful just like your mother."

Sofia~"Yes bambina. And if these brothers of yours ever disturb you come to us, we will make them suffer."

Zandrea~"Thank you. And don't worry, i can handle them. They will be the ones, who will have to come to you."i give them a wink and we start laughing.

Ricardo~"And those there are my sons, the eldest, Luca, the second eldest, Marcello and the triplets, Andre, Angelo, and Antonio."

They all wave at me and i wave back.

Triplets~"Hey, sorella." i think talking at the same time is a twin and triplet thing.

Zandrea~"Heyy." i say with a smile on my face. The old man, who am assuming is my grandfather, has not said anything till now nor does his face show any emotions. He is just looking at me, i guess observing my every move.

Santino~"bambina, those there, are my sons; the eldest, Vincent, the second, Giovanni, the third, Vincenzo and the last, Zander."

They all give me a smile and i return one of my own. Zander seems the happy and cheerful of all my cousins.

Zander~"Hey whats up, sister? Our names are pretty much alike." he says with a huge smile on his face.

Zandrea~"I know right. And i have a feeling you are gonna be my favourite cousins." i gave him a wink.

All my cousins started protesting even the eldest ones.

Finally the old man, stands up and starts walking towards me. Everyone shuts up and looks at us nervously. He just looks me in the eye still no emotions on his face and i don't look away, it is like am challenging him.

Old man~"In the meeting room, everyone now." his voice booms in the room and there is no argument needed with that tone.
