It's morning and it's the first day of my school. And you know the best thing, my cousin is married and he has two kids. And the others had girlfriends and they came home early in the morning to see me.
We wanted to see their little sweetheart. Their words though. Not mine.
Carlo married Freya. My childhood bestie and the only sister character I had in the family. Freya is Wylan's sister and back then, only we two are the girls in the whole 6 families. And now, we have Elaine, Leo's sister who was born after I left for England.
Both my nephews are soo cute. Eden took after his father, he has the same eyes and hair as Carlo and Myles took after Freya. He has her eyes and her hair. Both looking soo soo cute in their outfits. Eden wore a red t-shirt and paired it with black shorts and suspenders, while Myles wore a white little dress shirt and black shorts. Aww, they look soo cute.
But the worst part, I have to leave in a few min. First day of my school...
I liked both Bianca (Enzo's girl) and Luna (Ed's girl). They are the happy going and cheerful girls. They spread happiness and they make everyone around them happy. I am happy for my cousins.
I made a cup of coffee for myself and a toast. "Want some?" I asked them both and they shook their heads no and looked at each other with raised eyebrows.
"Okay, what's wrong?" I asked sitting in between them and looked at them both while sipping on my coffee. Okay after last nights events, I needed some caffeine in my body.
"Girls.. What's wrong? Why are you both looking at each other like that?" I asked placing my cup on the counter and tapped my fingers on it.
"Umm, okay. Since I created a bond with you and since I trust you, I'll tell you my little secret" Luna said holding my hand in hers and I looked at her and nodded. "Keep it a secret for a while. Okay?" she asked again and I nodded.
"Well I actually love coffee. But for the past few days, I am not able to drink it and then the smell is making me throw up" she said fidgeting with her fingers. "Okayy, so?" I asked confused.
"I- I- um- I think I am pregnant" she said and looked down at her hands which were placed in her lap. At first, I was silent. Coz, I was shocked. I was happy. So, I squealed in excitement. I hugged her tight.
"Well that's cool. Okay, I am becoming an aunt again" I said doing my small victory dance. Both the girls chuckled and looked at me with amused eyes.
"So, Bi you knew about this?" I asked turning to Bianca and she shook her head sideways. "Umm it's like she isn't liking the smell of coffee and I ain't liking butter" she said scratching the back of her head.
"Oh my god. Oh my god. Seriously. Like 2 no no 3 good news on the same day. Damn" I said hugging her and she hugged me back.
"Okay. So, till when should I keep my mouth shut about this?" I asked after completing my mini celebration.
"A few more days. I'll go for a test next week" Bianca said gleaming. "Can I go with you?" Luna asked with her best puppy eyes and Bi nodded. Who can say no to her puppy eyes. She looks soo cute. "Can I?" I ask giving them my best puppy eyes and they both coo at me and nod and then smile.
"Love you guys. But I'm getting late. Byee" I said hugging them both and giving them a kiss on their cheek. I went into the living room and hugged my dad and then followed by Arius. My cousins hugged the life out of me was an understatement. They practically chocked me to death.
I hugged the little boys and kissed them on the forehead before giving them hot chocolate. What? I love them and they are my little nephews. They love that to death.
By the time I was finished with everyone, the boys were waiting for me at the door. I sighed and turned back to my dad. "Dad, can I take one of your cars?" I asked turning to him and he looked at me with narrowed eyes but agreed when he saw my puppy eyes. Yeah I still have that effect on him.
"Tyler will drive" he said and called Tyler. "Please dad...." I said giving him my best puppy eyes again and he sighed putting his phone away and asked me to take whatever car I wanted to. I squealed in joy and ran to the garage followed by the boys.
Okay I am not speaking to them. I'm not mad at them, but I missed them and am still missing them. They have a life here and they had friends all over these years. But, I never had anyone. All I had was them and I waited for them. I'm scared that I'll cry, if I speak to them.
I just ignored them and drove to school with them following behind me. After I parked, I got out of my car and went straight to the office to collect my schedule.
Since I studied in UK, though the boys are 2 years older than me, we all are in the same class. Like there is an age diff for studies there and here and it gave me the advantage coz I have a good brain. My dad used to say that when I was young.
"We have common classes" Skylar said looking at my schedule from over my shoulder and all the others followed and nodded.
I have one with Skylar and Rowan, one with Wylan and Ryan, one with Nick and Leo and in the last one, I had all of them. Wanna know what? Ofcourse Business Management and Entrepreneurship. And I forgot PE. All my hulks play sports.
Great. Soo good for thinking to avoid them....
"You okay Ris?" all the boys asked me at the same time. Well except for Nick.
"Yeah" I said opening my locker and kept my bag inside after taking the books that I need, without giving them an eye-contact.
"Ris, what's wrong?" Skylar asked me lifting my chin up. I started to speak but I was interrupted by a girls high-pitched voice.
"Heyy Baby, I missed you soo much" she said placing her hand on Nick's bicep and I raised an eyebrow. He gave her a glare and pushed her hand away. But she didn't get it yet. She just kept touching him.
"Ris, we asked you a question" Wylan said turning to me and I sighed. "I'm fine Lan. Just nervous" I said and gave him a small smile. I hope they would buy my lie. Please god. They all just rolled their eyes and looked at me with we-know-you-are-lying look.
"And who is this? And why the hell is she here Nicky" she purred looking at him and I gagged internally. What the actual fuck now? NICKY! She fucking called him NICKY....
I went into my first class and you know what I'm 20 minutes early. And you know what there are a few students here already. I sat in the last row and I placed my books on the table and looked out of the window. I heard the chair scraping beside me and from the cologne, I knew it is Rowan.
"Baby girl it's not what you think it is" he said after a few minutes of silence. "And what exactly am I thinking?" I asked folding my arms and I raised an eyebrow at him.
"See Ro, I'm not mad. I'm not mad at him nor am I mad at you guys. I know I've been away for too long and I know in this time you got new friends. Just because I'm back doesn't mean you have to be with me all the time" I said and took a deep breathe and continued.
" I understand that you have got other works to do and business to look after. I'm just hurt. It was our thing. It was my thing to call him with that name and I never even let you guys call him that. So yeah it hurt. But okay. It's his wish to let his girl call him with any name" I said shrugging my shoulders like it's not a big deal. But inside, I was hurting like hell.
"First, she's not his girl and second, he never let anyone use that name after you left Ris. It was the first time and it'll be the last time someone would be using that name if not you. He and his everything is yours" he said smirking and I just blushed. Damn. Damn.
"And lastly, they are not our friends. They all are just our close alliances which we tend to keep and yeah so we act" he said kissing me on my forehead out of thin air Sky appeared behind me and did the same to which someone cleared their throat.
I looked up to see Nick looking into my eyes with a frown on his face. He slammed his hands on the desk and he bent down to my level. "I hate it when you run away from me principessa" he said and my breath hitched. He smirked and left whispering something in Sky's ears and nodded at Rowan to which they nodded back and they left. Great.
Great. Great. Great. And the day went great...
I'm freaking out. Why ? Coz dad just told me that there is a ball that I've to attend. And it's today. I don't have a dress. I don't know anyone and yeah I'm freaking out."Hey babydoll" came a cool and calm voice and I looked up to see Bianca. "Damn what's wrong" she asked running up to me. "Nothing there's a ball I've to attend. I don't have a dress, and I know no one there" I said sitting on my bed with a huff.
Nicholas's POV:I can see her smile. I can see every single thing from here. I can see that she is happy and I can see that she is enjoying her dance with him. I wanted a dance with her, but Eli beat me to it. He got the chance to dance with her.I've been watching her dance with him for the past hour and then she moved on to the others. Since it's a masquerade, we all have to wear masks and the rule here, you shouldn't say no for a dance when someone asks you. And since she is a good girl, she'll follow the rules. But the one rule we all made today was none from out can ask for dance. Only the boys from our six families can ask her. I've seen her smiling and enjoying with all of them. She was laughing and she was just enjoying the beat. Damn, how long will she dance. Isn't she tired. I looked around and saw Freya and Bianca giggling and swaying their hips to the music and enjoying themselves.
Iris's POV:There was only one thing on my mind. He might have thought I didn't know who he was. But, I knew it right from the start.I know his cologne. I know his eyes and I know his touch. And mostly, I know the aura radiating out of him. He has this power radiating through him which makes the others tremble in fear. But, it makes me go weak in the knees and I just love the feeling.After he left, I went running along the corridors searching for him. But, there was no sign of him nor the boys. There is something weird about the whole ball thing today and I felt eerie all along. Which isn't a good sign coz, last time I felt like this, I was in deep shit.I found a staircase leading downstairs and I took it. When I was on the last step, I heard his voice. It was fierce and he was getting irritated. Any second, he will lash out. Soon after, I heard a sinister laugh and it has been followed by screams.After all the wailing and the screams died, I o
Rowan's POV:Am I happy? Yes. Am I really happy? Mmm yes. Seriously? Mmm nope ig.How can you be happy knowing that the girl you love kissed someone else. I am happy and sad for that. Sad coz I wasn't that and happy coz it is Nicholas. He was the only one who never gave up on her and who kept waiting for her. If there is anyone who deserves her better, it would be him.I am happy to see him smile and I am happy to see her happy. They both have gone through soo much. She had been away from her family and all her friends for almost 14 years. The guy Nick killed downstairs deserved that.I've seen him trying to kiss her and trying to force her. But, she managed it better. I don't think Nicholas knew about that. If he knew that, it would have been way more worse and way more brutal. I know he brutal and he has been like that whole life. But today, it was another level and it was for her. I know that he
Rowan's POV:I just wanted to kill him. Maybe killing will be a small punishment. He needs a bigger one. For hurting my girl and for touching her, he needs to die. And now also for my brother.I looked around the room and anger is radiating off everyone. But mine is more than rage."Who are you?" Skylar asked again in a very serious tone. Everytime he used that tone, Iris was flinching. After what this idiot did to her, I know it'll have a serious affect on her. She is sensitive and good at heart. Why would someone want to hurt a person like her?"Skylar move" Leo said and Skylar has done that immediately. Is this all for trying to hurt her or for hurting Ryan? I think it's a mixture of both. If Sky's tone could scare her, Leo's would make her fear even more. I don't think it's a good idea for her to stay here."Ris-" I started but I stopped when I heard a scream. I turned to l
Iris's POV:The girls kept trying their best to divert my mind. But I'm not able to think about anything. It's been a week already and I haven't left home. The girls kept coming and kept engaging me in different works.Luna and Bianca are both in their 15th week. They both went for the test yesterday and today, they are planning on telling that news to their respective boyfriends. We have already planned that stuff and it is gonna be hell lotta interesting.They are just doing their best to divert me. I'm still stuck there. He just scares me soo much. I haven't met the boys till now. I'm not yet ready to face them. I went to check on Ryan everyday but never went close to him. They were safe. Maybe not happy, but safe when I wasn't here. I don't wanna hurt them anymore. I know why he came and I know what he wants. I know he is dead. But I know who sent him and I know what he wants. I know what I should give and where I should go. I know everything about him
Skylar's POV:"What the hell did you to my granddaughter? " the demon started yelling on us. Well we call him demon coz, he is.. umm... well... well, he is a demon.Nicholas and Leo were fuming like hell in the corner of the room. For the guy to see the love of his life crumbling to the ground and bleeding to death. It's been a week and she's still unconscious.When we took her to the hospital, the demon was still sleeping and now, he came to know about it. And, I can say he didn't take it well.Iknow I like her. But I didn't know I loved her that much till the day she had been sent away and I knew better the day she returned. I couldn't take my eyes off her and I just couldn't be away from her anymore.It isn't just my feeling. I can see it in their eyes too. She was the only one who could understand us better and she was the only one who could bring light into our
Iris's POV:I have been in the hospital for two more days after I woke up and I asked the girls to shift my things to my new place. Nonno found a good place nearer to the school and he also bought me a car.The girls helped me with moving the things and they even helped me with the furniture and the decor. They have done a good a job."Dad, please. Don't even try to stop me. You are already used to living without me. This will not hurt" I said giving him a tough a look and not even giving him a chance to speak. I drove away from there. My childhood home. I need this. They need this. We all need a time away."Thank you girls" I said hugging all the three pregnant girls coming out of my previous day's thoughts. Yeah funny right. They all are pregnant and them telling their respective boys was successfully except for the part where I had to be taken to the hospital.All my cousins are super happy with the news and they alrea
