Suddenly, all of us stopped wherever we were and whatever we were doing, as we heard someone clear their throat.

And now we were standing in a line, side by side to each other, like prisoners, our heads bowed down and hands behind our backs, while Lorenzo lectured us.

"I told you to clean it up, not make it worse." He gritted. "And here you are acting like kids."

"We are kids." I muttered, not looking up. I didn't want anyone to hear it, but apparently everyone did.

Alex and Aiden stifled a laugh while Jace nudged me, with his elbow, telling me to keep my mouth shut.

"Well, kids, go clean up the room, then you're gonna sit in the corner, in a timeout, in my office." Lorenzo said. I could feel him glaring at me. I looked up at him and he was. I gulped and just looked down again.

I have a question.

'Ask him.' Something inside me said.

He's going to kill me.

"Uhh.. But there are four corners in a room and we are five?" I asked, looking up at Lorenzo. Jace face palmed himself.

Its not my fault, I can't keep my mouth shut.

Lorenzo glared at me, furiously.

"Hmm... Interesting." He said, rubbing his chin. "They will sit in the living room, then. You'll be in my office."

My jaw dropped.

"That's so unfair. It was just a question." I whined. He smirked.

"Don't ask questions, when you're in trouble." He said, with amusement in his tone.

I gaped at him.
"Is this guy for real?" I pointed at Lorenzo, while looking at Jace.

He shrugged.
"He can do whatever the f-" Jace cleared his throat, when he noticed the glare he was getting. "The fudge he wants."

I was so frustrated that I wanted to yell all the curses, known to mankind.

But I didn't.

I'm such a coward.

But not risking your life is a wise choice.

"Wanna say something, angel?" Lorenzo asked, raising an eyebrow, with a slight smirk on his face.

Yeah. Fuck you.

I heard a gasp and Lorenzo's glare intensified. His jaw clenched as I looked around confused.

"Did I say that out loud?" I muttered, nudging Jace continuously, with my elbow.

"Yeah. You're dead. RIP. Rest in pieces." Jace muttered and gulped, when he took a look at Lorenzo's face. I did too.

I was scared shitless.

"Uhh... I can actually... you know... try to save my life." I said, and ran for my life.

I need Roman.

Or Matteo.

Or Eliza.

Please God. Please. I'm not even married yet. I haven't even seen my ships get together. Save me.

I kept running.

Wait! Why isn't anything around me going blur? I'm running at a fast pace.

"Are you done?" I heard someone say. I jumped, startled.

I looked to my right to see Lorenzo holding me by the back of my shirt, while I was just jogging, on-the-spot.

I am doomed.

"H-Hey, Enzo. I love you, you know. And I know, you love me. Besides, I'm the Mafia Princess. I should be treated politely and with respect. Right, Enzo?" I stuttered out.

Lorenzo narrowed his eyes.
"Don't think you'll get out of trouble using the nickname." He gritted.

I am dead.

"She must have targeted those words to me." Jace said. Lorenzo's furious glare snapped to him.

"Stop trying to save her, every time she gets in trouble. Go to your room." Lorenzo said. "All of you."

"They're not getting punished?" I whined.

Wrong move.

"You know, you're still asking questions and you're in trouble." Lorenzo gritted. "And yes. You are the only one getting punished."

So here I am sitting in the corner, looking at him working, on his desk.

I sighed loudly.

Lorenzo was ignoring me.

I groaned.
"Life is so exhausting." I said, dramatically. "And boring."

"Say one more word and see what I do." Lorenzo muttered, not even looking up at me.

I smirked. I'm going to annoy him so much, he's gonna kick me out of his study.

"Okay Lorenzo." I said, smirking. "Oops, I said two." Then continued.

I spoke four more words.

"Oops, now there are six. Oops, now there are..." I stopped to count. "Eleven."

"Oops, now there are.." I was cut off this time.

"Shut up." Lorenzo, looked up annoyed. "I will ground you for a lifetime, if you don't sit quietly, Amelia."

I just pouted and crossed my arms, slumping down in the chair.

After about five minutes, of just listening to the tick-tock of the clock, Alessandro walked in casually.

"What happened?" Lorenzo asked, looking at him.

"Just came to give you the reports of business in Italy." He said.

Ugh. If these Oldies start talking about business now.

"Okay." Lorenzo said, taking the files from his hands.

Alessandro turned to sit on the couch, comfortably.

"Woah!" He said, surprised to see my pouty self in the corner.

"Didn't even notice you were here." He said. I pouted more and scowled at the floor.

We haven't talked really. But I really want to complain to him about Lorenzo.

Just brother-sister bond, I guess.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Little sister here decided to ask a question while I was lecturing them and cursed me out." Lorenzo pointed towards me, a glare glued to his face.

I just huffed and pouted again.

"Why are you pouting? You basically asked for this. Takes guts though." Alessandro said.

"He's mean." I whined.

"I am mean? I didn't use foul words for you, did I?" Lorenzo said. "In fact, You are mean." He pointed towards me.

I was about to say something back when Alessandro said.

"Come on, brother. Don't be mean and let her go." Alessandro said.

I love you already.

"Don't take her side, Alessandro." Lorenzo said, sternly.

"Don't you think I'm too old to be scared of that tone?" Alessandro said, amused.

"You're still younger and I'm the Capo." Lorenzo rolled his eyes.

"Fine. But let her go. I want to spend some time with my sister." He said, raising his hands in surrender.

I waited for his answer.
Lorenzo thought for a moment before nodding.
"Fine." He said, turning his attention back to the papers.

I jumped up and hugged Alessandro, squeezing the life out of him.

"Woah, easy there, little one." He said, as I wrapped my legs around his waist.

"Thanks." I grinned.

"Anytime, little one. Besides he was gonna let you go soon, your pout is just so adorable." He booped my nose. I grinned at him.

-------------

"Ugh. Fuck this game." I yelled, frustrated.

"Why? Because you're losing?" Jace mocked.

"Fuck you too." I gritted, trying my hardest to survive.

Christian chuckled.
"Don't worry, little one. We won't tell anyone."

"I don't fucking care. Because no one dares to make fun of me." I gritted, frustrated.

"But we can." Gabriel said, chuckling.

"Yeah yeah." I rolled my eyes. "Just because you're blood. Otherwise, two of the costello brothers, would have been dead. And the little princess too."

"Hey!!" The three dumb monkeys said at the same time.

"You are mean." Charlotte huffed.

"Should've thought before being on Jace's team." I said, mocking her.

"He's my favourite cousin." She said, matter-of-factly.

I shot her a disgusted look.
"Who befriends trashcans?" I asked, with an innocent look on my face.

I felt a smack on my head.
"You did not just do that." I gritted, glaring at Jace.

"What're you gonna do, little baby?" He mocked.

"Kill you." I muttered, before throwing my controller and lunging at him.

"You have to wake up the killer inside her, don't you?" Alex yelled at Jace, who was successfully dodging every punch.

"That's it. Stop it." I heard a deep voice say, before I felt arms wrapping around my waist and pulling me away.

"Let me go, Emilio." I gritted.

"No. Stop struggling." He said, sternly. I glared up at him.

"You should be glad I don't hate you." I gritted.

"Or what?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Or I would have done something and you would have put me in a timeout for eternity."

Fooking oldie.

"Uh huh. Now keep your mouth shut or you can actually go sit in the corner." He said, sweetly, before turning his attention to the guys.

"What happened? Before you speak, if I find out, you were making fun of the little baby, you're dead." He said. I poked my tongue out at Jace, who snickered when Emilio called me little baby. I was still in his hold.

"Jace started it." Aiden said, smirking towards me. I smirked back.

Emilio raised an eyebrow and shifted his gaze towards Jace.

"She started it actually. She called us, trashcans and said, she would've killed us, if we were not blood." Alex said. I rolled my eyes.

Snitch. Just had to repeat everything word to word.

"What happened?" Lorenzo asked, looking at me, held by Emilio. He started glaring, knowing I did something wrong.

"What did she do?" He asked.

"Fight with Jace?" Emilio said.

Lorenzo breathed out a sigh in relief.
"Okay. Nothing big." He rolled his eyes.

"What?" Emilio asked.

"Oh don't worry, Fratello. It happens everyday. Just check for any injuries and leave them be. Don't bother lecturing. Even I'm tired of lecturing them about the same thing again and again." Lorenzo said, looking bored.

I giggled.

Emilio looked down at me, like he suddenly remembered something.
"You don't have any injuries, do you?" He asked, releasing his grip.

I was about to answer when Lorenzo said,
"Don't ask her. She must be fine. Its Jace who gets injured." Lorenzo said, with amusement.

I heard my brothers chuckle.

Yeah. Jace doesn't hurt me.

Jace rolled his eyes.

"She'll break, if I even flick her, like an ant." He said.

"Fucking try it, bitch." I said, forgetting Lorenzo was still in the room.

"That's it. Give me your phone." Lorenzo said. I huffed but gave him my phone.

Ugh. This is gonna be a troublesome vacation.
