15 years ago...

It was the day the Gray family would remember forever, it was the birth of their youngest child. The one that would change their lives forever after 5 boys the Gray family were hoping for a little girl a princes to spoil. Even if the odds turned out to be another boy they would still love them unconditionally.

Scarlet Gray had done this 5 times before and each time she swore was the last, her love for her children grew each time she had to do this but she promised this was the last one. Her contractions were getting worse and she was in pain.

Nicholas Gray couldn't watch his wife in pain it physically pained him to see her like that but he knew what would happen once it was all over he as going to become the father of yet another child they would love.

Alexander and the rest of his brothers were waiting patiently, being the eldest at 12 years old he understood what was going on and was praying for a little sister. He loved his brothers with his whole heart but having a little sister was all he ever wanted.

Cassius and Kyson who were currently the youngest siblings didn't have a clue what was going on all they could hear were the screams of their mother while she was giving birth. Their eyes watered at the thought of their mother being pained but was reassured by a 9 year old Kayden who was also ecstatic.

Scarlet was screaming sending all types of threats to her husband who was just looking at her lovingly, he knew that this pregnancy would be the last not just because they already had 5 children but because it was hard on her.

"Nicholas I'm going to fucking kill you" she yelled as a contraction came in

"My love your doing so well" he praised

"Mrs Gray on your next contraction your going to have to push" the midwife instructed, looking at the Donna with respect

Scarlet couldn't do anything but nod the pain was becoming intense, it was worse than she could remember. The contraction hit her while she screamed bloody murder.

"I can see the head, one more push Mrs Gray your doing amazing" the midwife praised

The next contraction came and Scarlet pushed, her breathing was fluctuating but all she was bothered about was hearing the scream of their new baby.

"Why aren't they screaming" she stammered

Just as she said that the new born baby screeched causing a sob to be let out by both Nicholas and Scarlet.

"Congratulations, its a healthy baby girl" the midwife announced

The Gray's starred wide eyed trying to comprehend what she just said, they finally had their daughter and they weren't going to let her any where.

But how wrong they were.

The midwife gave the beautiful baby girl to Scarlet who looked at her daughter with the upmost love.

Half an hour later, Nicholas brought his sons in to meet their new baby sister. His smile never faulting which was strange sight to see especially for the guards that were situated around the hospital, it wasn't everyday you see the don of the British mafia wearing a huge smile.

The boys ran into the room where their mother and new baby sister were all having smiles as they did so.

"Mummy" they all shouted upon seeing her

Nicholas followed back into the room and picked up his daughter while is wife kisses each of their sons on the forehead.

"Is it a baby sister or another baby brother" Alexander asked excitedly

Scarlet just smiled and looked at her husband who was still carrying their new baby.

"Boys meet your new baby sister, Ezmie Paige Gray" he smiled

The boys gasped upon hearing they have a new sister, they finally got what they wanted a princess, their princess but most importantly the English mafia princess.

A few months had passed, the family had adjusted well to having a baby girl. The reaction of the extended family where exactly what they were expecting, it joyed everyone but one person.

Ashley Jayne Scott

Scarlet had always had a close relationship to her sister that was until she married Nicholas and everything changed. Ashley changed she became bitchy and arrogant and would hardly talk to Scarlet, so when the news got out that Nicholas and Scarlet finally had a daughter she knew what she had to do, alongside the help of her fiancée.

Sundays were always for family, thats what Nicholas and Scarlet were both taught hence the reasons for family dinner which were mandatory in that house hold. However, this one was different the extended family from both sides were there.

They atmosphere was good for most part with Ezmie being the center of attention as per usual with her cute babbling and goo-ing. She was a good baby and had eyes like the sea, her laugh would light up the room.

Scarlet was already tense about having her sister in the house with Ezmie but it was family she couldn't exactly kick her out, however today was different Ashley wasn't her usual bitchy self she was the Ashley, Scarlet always knew.

It was late and Ezmie was getting tired any one could see, which was shocking when Ashley said she would put her down. This was the start of her plan, she went upstairs with Ezmie fast asleep in her arms but instead putting her down to sleep she ran taking the princess with her.

Half an hour had passed and Ashley wasn't down Nicholas was worried and sent his oldest son up to check on his little sister but came down stairs tear stricken with news that shocked the entire family.

Ezmie was gone along side Ashley.

This was the start of the Gray's downfall
