Their little star

|CHAPTER-22|

When he finally looked up and saw everyone, his eyes widened, and he muttered something under his breath. "Well, hello. I wasn't expecting you guys to be back yet," he said, sheepishly smiling.

Seeing Agostino nervous like that was a rare sight, but even I was nervous about it. Dad walked over to them and took Enisha in his arms when she murmured "daddy" and extended her hands to him. Enisha instantly snuggled into him while he rubbed her back. He looked at everyone for a moment, then left the room since their presence wasn't really helping Enisha calm down.

Essentially, he took the main topic and left us to face the consequences. "Isabella, you adopted a kid without asking us?" Nonno asked, clearly unhappy that he didn't know.

"She isn't adopted," Mom replied. "What do you mean Zia ?"Emiliano asked, confused. "She is our biological daughter.........Remember the kid we had when we were kidnapped? It's her. We never had a son, and the kid in the video two years ago wasn't ours," Mom explained.

All of them were too stunned to speak. "Okay, let's wait for the chaos to begin," I thought to myself.

"We have a sister/niece/granddaughter?" they all yelled in unison.

 "Dramatic much?" I muttered under my breath.

 "Stop yelling like that," Mom scolded.

 Well, everyone in our family listens to Mom.

"How did you find her? What's her name? What does she look like? I didn't see her face," Tio Riccardo, Zia Angelina, Elijah, and Giovanni asked simultaneously.

Okay, so basically I won't be getting her for a few hours at least. 

"Calm down, we'll explain everything, but I should warn you first," Mom sighed. 

"Warn us about what?" Zia Gemma asked, her expression turning serious like everyone else's.

"Don't yell or engage in any violent behavior in front of her. Don't approach her suddenly and don't touch her without asking," Mom said, her voice slightly cracking.

"Don't tell me..." Zio Luigi trailed off as a look of realization crossed his face.

"All of you know very well where she was born," Alexander grunted. He then took a deep breath and continued, "A few days ago, Dad received a call from a hospital in Colorado informing him that his daughter had been admitted there. At first, we didn't believe it, but we went to check and that's where we found her. We even took a DNA test ourselves to confirm her relation to us. We were told that she had run away from someone she referred to as 'sir' and had been subjected to abuse for years, with inadequate nourishment."

That was all it took. Everyone was fuming and looked ready to take action. Some of our enraged brothers even trashed the living room, leaving four vases and other breakable items shattered on the floor.

Valentino spoke through gritted teeth, "continue"

"The moment we saw her, we knew she was our daughter. But the shocking part was that she knew who we were. She even had the necklace Papa gave me when I was 10. She told us it was given to her by someone named Lina. I don't recall anyone with that name, but the way she said it, I most likely knew her when we were kidnapped."

"We don't know much about what happened to her, but based on her nightmares and behavior, we can infer that it was far worse than we anticipated. After confirming her identity, we reviewed the surveillance footage from the area she ran away from and discovered the person she referred to as 'sir.' He was attempting to escape from German mafia soldiers," Mom said, her voice turning emotionless at the end.
