As looked out the window of our penthouse, I couldn't help but think about my little zucca.
She was the light of my life, the girl who could giggle, cry and laugh all within the space of 5 seconds. A little bundle of joy who would run up to me and tap my leg, which was code to pick her little legs up.
She was the light in our lives when everything would go dark, a magnet that would attach itself to you, keeping you sane.
Until she was gone.
My two brothers Raphael and Cole were zoned out, staring at the wall ahead, piles of paperwork surrounding us.
Being the don of the Italian mafia comes with a hefty amount of pressure, and my papa's passing meant it was handed over to me at a young age.
Though, I was always prepared for this. Papa trained us from a very young age, but after Kaylee was taken he focused all his energy into work, rather than training my brothers and I, so I stepped up to become the best version of myself to protect her.
After Papa's passing I was left to care for my younger siblings, including my cousins whom we refer to as brothers as well.
I'm the eldest in the family, then it goes to our cousins Aaron and Enzo, there twins and the same age as me, 24 but I'm 3 months older, they, along with the rest of our older family, have help me out with being a parental figure and guardian to our brothers considering there's so many of us.
In total were a family of 26, all of us being boys. Our uncle, dad's brother, died in a car crash along with his wife my aunt, then dad's other brother, he ran away after his wife, our aunt, died during child birth.
We've never been associated with our maternal family.
I'm brought out my thoughts when the phone rang, I look over at the unknown caller ID and exchange a look with my brothers.
They motion for me to answer, i nodded and except the call, placing it on speaker.
"Hello, this is Abigail Clark calling from south LAPD, am I speaking to a Mr Valentino?" a cheerful woman spoke.
I wonder who go arrested now, probably Max or Romeo. God, we've been in LA for less than a week, and one of them an already been arrest, I swear I'm going to shot the pair.
"Yes, this is he, what can I help you with?" I reply, rolling my eyes at my brothers.
"Well sir, I'm here to inform you we arrested a young girl today, and had to run a DNA test due to her living on her own under a he age of 18. And I believe she's your sister, sir I was wondering if you would like to take her in, or she will be placed back in foster care."
