Valentina's POV:
After Vladimir was killed they took his body away. Me and my family were now about to leave the building and go back home when some of our men approached me.
"Ms Costello I'm really impressed by your fighting skills", one man said happily
"You're more fierce than your brothers..no offense bosses", one man chuckled
"Thanks", I laugh
"None taken. She is fierce", Elijah shrugged along with my other brothers.
"Yeah.. wouldn't want to mess with her", Xavier snickered
Oldies smiled and nodded.
"Yeah to be honest we've never seen a mafia princess this strong and bold. We really are proud to be serving this mafia", one man smiled widely
The other men nod in agreement.
"Thank you so much", I grin
"When did you learn so much? I thought boss didn't want to involve you into this business?", One man asked curiously looking at Ales
"I didn't, but she learnt all this when we were kidnapped", Ales said
"Well I wanted to be able to protect you all and not just stay in the house waiting for others to do my job", I said rolling my eyes.
The men looked at me with impressed faces. Some were shocked like they didn't expect this.
"Wow..to be frank we all have this image of girls of rich family being all obnoxious, self absorbed and brats but seeing you..it made us rethink", one of our men said
"You're very family driven and that's a very good quality to find in someone. The love you have for your family is quite inspiring", one man smiled.
"Well that's what a family means. I would do it for anyone I love", I smile and shrug
"It was really nice meeting you personally Ms Costello", one man smiled
"It was nice meeting you too. But what's with you guys calling me Ms Costello...it makes me look like an old lady which I'm not. I'm younger than all of you", I grimace
Everyone laughs.
"Bambina that's how they greet everyone", Leo shrugged
"Well I wouldn't mind if you called me Valentina. I mean I would prefer you use my name", I smile.
"Sure Valentina", the men smiled
"Okay bye guys we're leaving", Antonio smiled
Our men nod and get back to their work and we all leave the building and go home.
We soon reached home and sat down in the living room.
"I was wondering if we should leave back for New York tomorrow morning", Dad said once everyone sat down.
"What? Noooo", Daniel whines
"Come on Uncle Vince stay here for some more time", Marcus pouts
"Yeah this is your home anyway", Damon frowned
"Guys we live in New York not Italy", Ales pointed out
"Still", Deigo mumbled
Dad, Elijah and Ales chuckled a bit.
"Sorry boys, but we need to go back", Enzo smiled
"Yeah we've all missed one month worth of school and can't afford to lose more", Xander nods
"Plus even though I've taken care of the mafia till now, Ales has to go back and take back the reins of the business", Ben states
"Yeah", Ales nods
"Just stay for a few days", Angelo sighs
"You all were just rescued why not rest for a few days", Emilio suggests
Dad, Ales and Elijah shake their head no.
"Daaaad Grandpaaaa tell them something", Lucas whines
"Sorry son can't", Uncle Francesco gave a sad smile
"As much as I would love to have my kids here in Italy with me I know they can't. Vince, Ales, Elijah and Ben are right", Grandpa sighs
All my brothers groan loudly. I chuckled and shake my head.
"Your older brothers can act like babies sometimes", Micheal chuckled standing next to me.
"They're babies trust me", I snicker
"Well time to use the biggest weapon", Daniel said seriously to his brothers.
They all nod affirmatively.
"No other choice", Deigo mumbled
"What are you idiots talking about?", Leo asked rolling his eyes
They all ignore him and count till three.
One
Two
Three
"GRANDMAAAAA", they all yell together
Me, Matteo and the twins laugh our ass off while Dad and Ales face palmed themselves. Elijah and Enzo shake their heads amused.
Uncles chuckled. Grandpa looked impressed.
"Damn", Mark laughs
"Everyone knows how Grandma gets when her kids have to leave", Angelo snickered
"Yes?", Grandma says coming inside the living room along with aunties.
Ales glared at my brothers. I laugh.
"Grandma, Uncle Vince and Ales are talking about going back to New York tomorrow", Daniel complained
"Yeah they won't listen to anyone. Even oldies are not stopping them", Lucas frowned
"They'll listen to you so please tell them to stay for a few days", Marcus pleaded
Grandma frowned and looked at my Dad. My Dad looked away. Me and Matteo chuckled and high fived.
"So now my eldest son is thinking about leaving me and not even informing me", Grandma said putting her hands on her hips.
"Mom come on. I'm not leaving you. You know we have to go back home", Dad said with a sad smile
"That is leaving me", Grandma frowned.
Me and my brothers laugh.
"Maria they have to go home. Ales needs to be back for the mafia", Grandpa reasons
Grandma whipped her head towards her husband and glared at him.
"They can stay for a few days. Why're you supporting Vincenzo and not me?", Grandma growls
Grandpa gulps and looks away trying to avoid eye contact.
"Haha damn", Damon laughs
"We should have used the grandma card long back", Lucas grinned
My family glared at them while I looked at all this amused.
"Will you guys help me here?", Dad asked exhasperated to his brothers
"What makes you think she'll listen to us?", Uncle Alfonso said with eyebrows raised
"She didn't listen to Dad, there's no way she'll listen to us", Uncle Francesco smiled
"Sorry brother I'm in no mood for getting whooped by our mother", Uncle Luciano said shaking his head frantically.
Dad groaned. Grandma smiled satisfied. Grandpa chuckled. My brothers laugh. The Diaz family looked amused.
My best friends were enjoying the scene. Ben was looking like this is not the first time he's witnessing this so he was constantly laughing.
"Grandma even we're not happy that they're leaving but it's really required. The younger ones have missed school for a month", Antonio said softly
"And they can miss it for a few more days as well, it won't make a big difference. I don't want my son and grandchildren to leave so soon", Grandma said adamantly crossing her arms.
"Go Grandma!", Deigo chuckled
"Wohoo", Marcus chuckled.
My family glared at them while Grandma smiled and winked.
My Dad, Ales, Elijah, Enzo, Xander, Xavier, Matteo and Ben look at me. They did the eye gesture towards Grandma.
"Are you planning on helping here?", Matteo muttered to me.
I smile amused and nod at them.
"Grandma you think we want to leave you? We all love you the most. But it's really needed to go back. We have exams coming up next month and we have already missed so many classes and you know your grandsons are dumb and need to study. Plus even you know how much it's needed for the Don to go back to the mafia", I smiled softly
The twins and Matteo glare at me for calling them dumb. I just smile back and shrug saying it's true.
Grandma looked conflicted. Dad smiled and gestured me to continue.
"You can always come and see us right? We'll come and meet you whenever we can! Please grandmaa", I pout
I look at my brothers and nod.
"Please Grandmaaa", they all pout.
Leo and Antonio gave us a thumbs up laughing. Raf and Sav looked at us in awe.
Grandma looked at us and frowned and sighed hard.
"Fine. You guys can go", Grandma smiled
"Finally", Dad smiled
Uncles and Grandpa laugh and look at me impressed.
My younger older brothers gasp and then groan. I turn and look at them.
"And shhh you guys enough..say another word and I'm not gonna protect you when Ales and Elijah whoop your ass", I warn them
They look at me and open their mouth to say something. I raise my eyebrows and they begrudgingly close their mouth and pout.
"Fine go back home", Lucas rolled his eyes.
"Aww come on brother. Don't be sad we stayed together for a month trust me I can't take more of you idiots. I'm shocked I survived this month", I smile
Oldies start laughing. My older brothers snicker. My younger older brothers gasp.
"That hurt Val", Daniel said dramatically
"Yeah she doesn't love us like we do her", Deigo sighs dramatically
"She loves New York more than Italy", Marcus sniffed dramatically
Ryan, Stacy and Michael laugh their ass off
"Oh enough with the drama already. I love all of you. Stop acting like babies now. I was kidding", I shake my head amused at their reactions and hug all of them.
"I'm not liking this about you leaving so soon Vince but I understand why you have to go and promise me you'll take care of yourself. You're health is not exactly back to normal", Grandma said to Dad
"Yeah I don't want you all going back and stressing over work. Ben and Val please take care of them and keep me updated about their health. If they don't listen to you let me know and I'll deal with them", Grandpa said looking at my Dad and brothers.
"Okay", me and Ben smile.
"Don't worry we'll be fine", Ales nods
"Okay so its final we're leaving tomorrow morning", Dad smiled
"Okay", the twins and me said in unison
"So me, Dad, Ales, Enzo, Xavier, Xander, Matteo, Val, Stacy, Ryan and Ben are leaving back home", Elijah said
We all nod.
"Yeah", Ryan smiled.
"I'll enroll you both in the same school as Val, twins and Matteo", Ales smiled
"Thanks we'll like that", Ryan smiled.
"Yeah I'll call Dad and inform him", Stacy smiled
Dad and Ales nod and smile.
"What about you? You're coming too tight?", I ask Micheal
"Does he have to?", Damon asked
Deigo smacked his head. We all chuckled.
"Yeah I missed school too. I have to finish school", Micheal shrugged.
My younger older brothers groan and I glare at them.
"I'm glad", I smile at Micheal. He winked back.
"You're also coming right?", Ales asked Savannah hopefully
Me and my brothers smirk and wiggle our eyebrows at Ales which he conveniently ignored.
"Yeah but first me and Michael will have to go home back to Spain", Savannah nods smiling
"Okay so Sav and Micheal will come home with us tomorrow for some work and then they'll come back to America", Louis smiled
"We too will leave tomorrow. Thanks for having us Roberto", Ricardo smiled
"Oh come on I'm happy you came", Grandpa smiled
"I'll miss you Raf", Ales smiled
"Me too. I'm quite jealous as my siblings get to come to New York and I don't. But don't worry I'll be coming to New York in some time when we need to meet for the deal anyway", Rafael smiled.
Ales and Ben nod smiling. Micheal and Sav smirk and flip their hair looking at Raf who rolled his eyes at them.
"So its final, now so let's go home and get all packed up if we have to leave tomorrow", Enzo said
We all nod and stand up.
"You're leaving tomorrow?", Max asked
We all turn and look at him. He walked in frowning.
"Yeah bud. We're going home", Matteo smiled sadly
"Why?", Max pouts
"Because we live there Max", Xavier chuckled
"Don't worry bud we'll see you soon", Elijah smiled.
"Okay but I'll miss you", Max sighs
"We too bud", I smile
