REIGN'S POV

Darkness and thunder, that is all I could see and hear. The pitter patter and thundering of the rain is trying hard to bring me back to reality, which I am trying hard to avoid.

Keywords trying.

Never once I thought that I would ever return to that place again when i was leaving that place. It was a time painful enough for me to never return on my ownwill. But the most I wasn't expecting was them calling me back.

It's almost been two years since I left that place behind. The people, the house, the city, my past, everything, I left everything behind to start afresh. Even her

The last two years were hard,no doubt.

'When has ever living alone for a 15 years old girl has been easy, huh?'

Life is tough I knew at the time of leaving LA. But I was ready because you see I wasn't an ordinary 15 year old too. Atleast not all 15 year old kill people on daily basis

I was a-- nahh I am a trained mafia member. Lived in mafia life for more than 14 years, has done more killing than a total of small gang members combined.

But slowly and steadily I was normalizing my life. Trying to live a life of foolish teenager who has the worst worries in their life is exam and relationship and getting wasted in parties and clubs

'But guess too much for being a normal teenager'

I am returning back to that life again, returning back to that house again, returning back to LA again, returning back to them and her

Not contacting me in this last two years, I thought they must have forgotten about me but oh boy was I worng.

My mind is filled with their thoughts, there are so many questions swirling around.

Why are they calling me back?

What did they want now?

Did they ever missed me?I guess not this one because I am damn sure they didn't. But somewhere in my heart's corner I definitely do

I miss them after all they are my family.

'Family, sounds funny' .

The screeching of the car and a clearing of throat brought me back from my train of thoughts. I looked outside and saw that we have reached our destination

"You haven't said anything the whole ride" Sebastian said getting outside of the car.

I saw him walk around the car and swiftly open the door my side, raising a hand for me to hold.

"Likewise, anyway. You do know, I am not the princess anymore "I said chuckling a little as I held his rough hand and got out, while another man held the umbrella over us. 'Haa! Nostalgic enough'

"Hmm? Who says? You're still the princess "he said with a gentle smile guiding me towards the private jet

"News flash old man, I left that house two years ago "I replied dragging my feet towards the jet, Which is royal blue in color with bold letters GAMBINO 

"private jet for one person. Still the fancy rich *** peoples"

"Hahah.....and still the sarcastic strong willed simple minded girl" seb replied laughing a little more "But I must say you've grown up more now"he said looking at me fondly.

"No shit genius, I am 17 now" I said rolling my eyes at him as we entered the jet. I still remember the day when I was leaving the place. Sebastian was hellbend to stop me, even said to live with him. It brings a smile every time I thing about it. A big giant *** man with scary face and hell amount of tattoos crying like a kid and bawling his eyes out for me .

'He was cute' the smile came to my face as i chuckled a little

"What are you thinking again? " he asked bendind down a little to reach my eye level , which ofcourse didn't work 'cause I tell ya this man is fucking giant

I shook my head a little walking ahead and taking my seat. He sat next to me still staring at my face only this time there was no smile,no playfullness.

I looked back at him"what?"tilting my head a little raising my left eyebrow I stared straight into his eyes, which was filled with a little amount of tears.

'Ohh gosh,not again '

please tell me about your thoughts over the story if I should continue or not.

Thank you for reading

lots of love.

I looked back at him"what?"tilting my head a little raising my left eyebrow I stared straight into his eyes, which was filled with a little amount of tears.

'Ohh gosh not again'

...----------------...

"Why didn't you contact me even once and you even changed your number"he said as a lone tear slipped from his eyes. I tell you a big giant softie.

"Old man don't over react,you could have had easily gotten my number, so why the drama" I said wiping his tears which started flowing like a dam

"You brat! You don't care about this old man at all. What would I have done if something happened to you if I tried reaching you. But you could have once in a while contacted me" he said bawling his eyes out

'Ohh man , the water work, no'

"You know Seb I wasn't a kid I can take care of myself and I did. I just wanted a break from my life to live a normal one" I smiled apologetically wiping his tears with the tissue

I scooted near him and hugged him for a second. Breaking when the announcement for taking off was made. We locked our seat belt and fell into comfortable silence. Well, that didn't last long enough but it was enough for me to realize that we have so many guards with us. It's like they were expecting for me to make a scene for not wanting to come back.

Why would I even, afterall I know my limits. But guess some bunch of men have trust issues.

"So how was your life over the years. Did you do all the stupid teenagers thing" seb said breaking the silence with a curious smile

"Yeah, pretty much everything. Like going school, making friends and---"Seb interrupted me with the shocked expression, his eyes wide.

"You made friends? "seb said with a non believable expression

"Huh?why I shouldn't?"I asked one eyebrow raised

"Ofcourse you should!! I'm happy you made friends "he said exclaiming in happiness.

I nodded and once again silent took over. But before I could relish myself in it Seb once again spoke up, only this time with a reminiscing expression

"I guess You're really grown up now. Just two years before you would practical bite people if they try to interact with you".his wishper was soothing as he chuckled little at the end.

I Guess he is remembering the time when I bit his son, sergio. But in my defence he is a total annoyance. Poking his nose in everything and everywhere

I wanted to reply something but the softness of the luxurious seat was so soothing that before i knew it, I was closing my eyes going in a deep slumber. Resting a little wouldn't be a problem , right?I have been stressed since this morning when I got the call saying I must return to LA and not knowing anything wasn't much help to my nerves. The flight will take atleast 11 hours ,I guess I can sleep a few hours. I need energy to face them all.

"I missed you so much princess, goodnight, sleep well" I heard the hushed voice of Seb has he placed a small kiss on my forehead covering me with a blanket, a smile crept up on my face eyes still closed.

"Me too, Seb goodnight" I mumbled in baby-ish voice.

He chuckled a little. he has always been a father figure in my life. Always taking care of me like a father or I should say more than my father.

...On the other side in GAMBINO mansion...

"WHY ARE YOU CALLING HER BACK?!!" A loud voice boomed in the silent room.

The room was fully furnished, fancy office with a long wooden desk filled with files and papers in the middle back of the room. Behind the desk was a huge comfy leather chair, sitting on it was a man in his late 40's with neutral face, in fitted suit showing no expression on the loud voice with a wine glass in his right hand.

The room was spacious enough to have a small liabrary like section with various books on the left side, while having a small relaxing area with huge comfy single sofa chair, glass table, wine rack and fireplace on the right side of the room.

The room was lit with various lights in every corner and a huge chandelier in the middle of the room below which a lot of sofas and chairs were available on which sat men. The older one's in suit on the right side with some on single sofa chair and the younger ones in hudys, sweatshirts and jeans on the left side all facing the man sitting behind the desk.

"Stop yelling, Tony"said the man sitting beside Tony on the right side with an irritated glare.

"But he is right,Angelo. Why do we need her here" asked the younger boy from left side looking at his older brother with question, anger was evident on his face

"What do you mean 'why'? It's been two years since she left and she is our sister, it's time we call her back" Angelo replied to his younger brothers with glare, loosing his calm slowly

The two of his younger siblings scoff at his replies, while the others were totally not interested in their bickering.

"SISTER?FOR **** SAKE! WE HAVE ONLY ONE SISTER AND WE HAVE FINALLY FOUND HER. SHE IS RIGHT HER WITH US!!" Tony yelled once again looking at his elder brothers and father

"Language and attitude, Tony" said another man in suite with calm and stern Expression.

Tony rolled his eyes looking at his older brother.

"Stop it Antonio, no more attitude. Dad, me, Alonzo and Angelo has discussed everything. No more discussion on this" the oldest brother out of all of them, sitting on the single sofa said in deep voice, an utmost  finality in his voice.

Antonio realised that now he could not argue on this with his older brothers and father, as their will be consequences as his eldest brother intervened.

After glaring at his older brothers and father, Antonio left the room, banging the door loudly showing his disagreement. Another younger brother who was supporting his older brother, Antonio, left after him.

The room once again fell in silence. All the younger brothers trying to sink the news they just got from their older brothers and father.

"So, when is she returning" one of the brother asked with neutral face. He was not sure if he should feel happy or not. He wasn't close with her, let alone him, she wasn't close with any of his brothers. Though not close, but he didn't mind her presence that much.

"She will be here by tonight. Ales, please prepare her room." The man behind desk finally said, replying to his son Ales.

Ales nodded once before asking another question."What are we going to tell Lynn?"he was worried about his new found younger sister, not knowing how she might react to this.

"We ain't telling her about it". The eldest brother replied.

"But she will question" Aless said looking at his brothers and father

"We will introduce her as Sebastian's daughter to lynn"the second eldest replied.

It feels worng to Aless. Lying about her to his little sister and hiding the truth felt bad to him, but he did thought that it was the right decision for now. Thinking so, he noded his head in understanding.

After all breaking the news to his newly found little sister about their adoptive sister, who has played the role of their sister for 15 yeers, must be too harsh. Since it still early and their sister was still adapting to them. The news might affect their relationship bonding.

As the conversation came to end all the boys have given their inputs except for two boys. One of them was completely in his own world typing away on his phone, while the youngest of them all was sitting with bored expression.

He just wanted to get out from the office and plan a prank with his cute sister, he thought they were just wasting their time having a discussion on this. He wasn't close with his adoptive sister. Heck, he lived with her for 15 yrs but hardly spoken to her.

Everyone knew how closed off she was and so no one intervened in her things. She did her things while they did their own.

"Then, can we live now" the youngest brother finally opened his mouth, asking away the question he wanted to ask.

The boy who was on his phone till now, atlast raised his eyes and locked it with his father, as if asking for the same. The eagerness to leave was very evident on both the faces.

Their father stared at his sons and then shook his head a little. The thought consuming him was why they are not interested in the topic at all. Though not close, they lived under the same roof but there was no ounce of excitement in any of their eyes. But he can't say much on this. Since he himself was feeling conflict.

A little sigh left from his lips before looking at his sons and nodding at them, indicating that the meeting is over and they can leave.

Seeing the gesture both the boys stood up to leave the room immediately. One being extremely excited to meet his sister while another to go in his room and sleep the day off.

As they left the room only the older ones were left in the room. They all were in their own thought not understanding if they took the right decision or not.

"Let's call it the end" the man sitting behind the desk said looking at his son. And they all nodded in approval. "Aless you prepare the room and see if she would need anything. Lets continue the meeting after dinner with her"

Aless nodded his head and stood up. Looking once more at them before leaving the room. He didn't understand what his father and brother were thinking. But he knew one thing that they must be planning something.

The room was silent as one more brother left the room. But it wasn't long as the second oldest said aloud what he was thinking.

"Seb said she didn't made any attempt to not come" his voice was a little confused yet stern. It's like he was thinking why she agreed to come back without any attempt to flee. He knew she didn't liked them, hell for all he knew she hated them. After all they have restricted her life so much for their own benefit. Taking away her freedom was one of those. And when she finally got it. They were calling her back. Back to her old life.

"I knew she wouldn't" his twin replied to him with surety in his voice, as if he was sure that she would come back with out a doubt.

The other men looked at him, as if to know why was he so damn sure about it, because they clearly remembered her last word when she left. That she never want to come back in this hell hole of a life.

'But she is coming back, huh!'the oldest brother thought
