Chapter 1

Madrid, Spain.

The sky was black tranquility. The starry night sky was glimmering, darkened and in some places flickered with almost indescribable cosmic beauty. There was a certain softness in that night, it was the softness that called body and brain to rest and let the heart go to its steady rhythm. Everyone was returning back to their homes, their safe places.

In that city there was a huge mansion of the infamous Fernandez brothers. The mansion was illuminated by many beautiful lightenings and it looked like a real palace in the darkness of the night and didn't lack in showing its royalty as well as the darkness. The aura alone of the mansion was screaming the darkness captured in Fernandez brothers' hearts for the outer world.

The Fernandez brothers, their name was enough to make anyone shiver out of fear because for the outer world they were still the same merciless bastards but for the family they were the best men anyone could ever ask for. They were the best, be it husbands, fathers, son-in-laws, brother-in-laws and brothers but still there was something which left a void in their hearts.

Their mansion was enough alone to tell what Fernandez brothers held against the country: power and authority. They were still the same Fernandez brothers who were selfish, cruel, ruthless and what not but when it comes to their little wife they become little puppies with their invisible wagging tails.

The mafia bosses of the country loves their little wife a lot, more than the world, more than their own lives. When she blessed them with their baby, they were more than satisfied and couldn't ask her anything more than that. The trio were laying with their heads on her lap and she was threading her fingers in their hair.

Whenever they returns back from the office, they tell her everything happened with them throughout the days and it was their routine and Vanessa was more than happy to hear them out till eternity. She was smiling amusingly when Alejandro was telling her, how Emiliano threw his umpteenth phone out of the glass window of their office in anger and damaged the glass too.

It never left Vanessa less amused that how can he throw all of his brand new phones out of the window just like that. She shook her head and rubbed Emiliano's scalp but suddenly her sea blue eyes narrowed at her fingers which were threaded in his hair.

"Emi?" she called him out with her concentration on his hair.

"Hmm?" he hummed feeling content because of her fingers moving at his scalp.

"You are getting old now. See your grey hair!" Vanessa exclaimed tugging at his hair a little which made him smile at her words.

"We are married for almost thirty two years now, mi charlatán. Do you think I will always stay young?" Emiliano asked her with a little smile at his face suddenly discovering on his own that he has completed thirty two years of marriage with his wife and still he felt it was a short amount of time only. He can spend his whole life with her without any second thoughts.

"That's a problem now because I think I can't be with old men anymore. I want a handsome hunk for myself, I'm still so younger than you." Vanessa commented pouting, trying to tease the brothers.

The three of their eyes darkened at her words and before she could even register she was pulled down flat at her back and Joaquin was hovering above her with his dark and cold eyes peering at her. She gulped seeing the cold look in his eyes and knew the other two had the same look as his. She mentally cursed herself for trying to tease them.

The brothers also knew she was trying to tease her because it's been thirty two years to their marriage and she hasn't left any single chance to assure them that they means the world to her and they are her kings but still the mansion of any other man makes them jealous and leave a bitter feeling in their hearts.

"What were you saying, mi pequeña bebé? You want a handsome hunk for yourself?" Joaquin asked her and arched his brow at her questionably. She shook her head at him and opened her mouth to apologize to them.

"N-No I didn't---" before she could even complete her sentence the brothers looked at each other and had a silent conversation through their eyes and then they nodded at each other turning their faces to her.

The words completely stuck in her throat when their fingers started tickling her everywhere and earned a loud shriek from her before she fell into fits of laughter. She clutched her stomach and tried to dodge them but the three of them tickled and tickled.

"N-No aaa---ahhhhaaaaa-hhhhaaa---- I'm sorry p-lease let me g-gooo. If you w-will continue I will d-die out of laughing!!" Vanessa said and tried to slip away from their holds but it seemed impossible to her and all she could do was laugh out of tickling and helplessness.

"I'm s-sorryyy-----" she whined loudly because her stomach started hurting due to laughing so much and she couldn't handle any more.

Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes and then the brothers understood that it was their queue to leave her and they left her immediately. She rolled at the bed trying to catch up with her breath and her face was completely red. The three of her devils husbands gazed at her amusingly.

"Don't mess with your husband ever, mi amor or it can lead you to some serious punishments as you know how much stamina we still have even after having grey hair." Ace smirked and said squeezing one of her bosoms roughly silently warning her but a sweet smile at his face.

"Owieee! It hurts!!" Vanessa shyly exclaimed and slapped his hand away harshly resulting the brothers to chuckle at her. It's been years and she was still shy of them which never leave any chance to amuse them.

"You have also gotten a little chubby but did we ever comment on that?" Emiliano asked trying to tease her back but instead of taking it in an entertaining way Vanessa got offended and a blank look etched upon her face.

Since she has given birth she had gotten a slight chubby, not much but Emiliano never leaves any chance to tease her which somehow makes her mad. When she didn't give him any snarky reply back he gulped knowing he made her mad while Joaquin and Alejandro shook their heads because they know now matter how many times they tell Emiliano to not to make their little wife mad, he never understands.

"I'm sorry---" Emiliano scratched the back of his head and was about to apologize she showed her palm to him and pin drop silence fell in the room.

The next moment, Emiliano was standing out with a pillow in his arm and a blanket in his another arm. The door of the room got shut right at his face which made him to scrunch his nose and eyes closed in regret.

"Now you will sleep out of this room!!" Vanessa's voice came from inside of the room and he could see the wide grins on his brothers' faces which made his face fell. He banged at the door of their room.

"I'm sorry, mi charlatán. I was not trying to fat shame you it's just--- ugh never mind. Please open the door baby, I love you so much." he said banging his fist at the door loudly and he heard the shuffling of the door knob. He stilled and took a step back happily thinking she forgave him and will open the door for him.

The door opened and it made a wide smile to etch upon Emiliano's face but as soon as it appeared it fell too when he saw a shirt in her hand and she threw it right at his face, he immediately caught it.

"Don't catch cold!!" she said with a stoic face and strict manner. Then she closed the door right at his face again.

He smiled knowing how much she cares for them no matter what. They had habit of sleeping bare chest and it usually seems fine to them inside the room but in night the temperature of outside of the room turns chilly and she didn't want him to get sick. He knew she was just showing him her fake anger and in that she still didn't hide her care for him. He wore the shirt and stood in front of the door again.

"I'll die right outside of this room. Bye mi charlatán!!" he exclaimed loudly and playfulness in his voice.

"Then die!! I will slap your soul and bring it back to your body!!" Vanessa's humorless reply came and it was enough for Emiliano to know that he should leave from there. He sighed knowing where he should stay in this chilly midnight.
