So firstly I will be getting back to this book.
There is going to be some overlaps between demon and this book. Both family days out.
I found out that this book has been plagiarised too. I'm not entirely sure to what extent but if you see it on other platforms it's not the real version.
I've not read any of the book only the description which is exactly the same, not even name changes ð. They did change the book title though and I dread to think what they've done to my characters.
"The kidnapped trio: Arranged marriage romance"
Alex had quit therapy but he made sure Skye and James still knew it was okay to attend. He didn't want them to hold back because of him.
Rafael had cleared everyone's schedule for a family day out. He was hoping they could all bond.
He knew his eldest children wouldn't care what they were doing but he wanted to make it as enjoyable as possible.
Nico was still 16 however on previous family trips it didn't stop Rafael from planning something a little more their style such as a gun range.
He knew the triplets would be terrified so he did his best to make it child friendly.
The answer being an amusement park.
He figured the triplets had been through so much they deserved the chance at doing something fun.
And there was rides for all ages, and if they didn't like them there was always little stalls with a range of games to be played.
When he announced where they were going in the morning, he expected a mix reaction.
"I think it's a great idea" Lorenzo spoke when no one else did.
"I don't. There's too many people there" Marco said but everyone knew his cold tone was to mask his real feelings, even Alex knew.
"We will do a buddy system if that makes you feel better?" Rafael suggested, he hated how he sounded. He wasn't this type of man.
"I'll take Alex" Lorenzo offered.
"Skye" Leo said.
"Thanks boys. James don't worry you have me,I'm simply better " Rafael was grateful his adult sons had no objections.
"You're not splitting us up" Alex said.
"No we're not. Basically if anything happens which it won't. As the three adults, we'll be the ones you go with. That way if you get stuck with Lorenzo for example, he only has to focus on Alex rather than the three of you" Rafael explained.
"So something could happen " James hesitated but asked nevertheless.
"It could but it won't" Rafael stated.
"What about Marco and Nico. Who will look out for them" Skye asked.
"They are capable of looking out for each other but they will pair together. Again let's say Skye you was with me, that's not to say I'm not going to protect you. Its just easier and more efficient if we're together, we all take one of you" Rafael explained.
Rafael didn't do stuff this way so he was struggling to explain it to his kids. He was the type to shoot first. But he didn't want Marco to be paranoid about protecting the triplets from everyone.
And although nothing would happen, logically it would be safer if the triplets all had a designated adult.
"We'll be going in the next hour so get yourselves ready"
Within 2 hours they had arrived at the amusement park. The triplets looked at it with such a worried expression it made Rafael feel the need to make sure they have the best day ever.
Having the triplets and Nico in his car, Lorenzo had driven separately with Leo and Marco.
Because he had the triplets and didn't want to worry them, he had Lorenzo do the work instead.
The work being, get in contact with their most trusted soldiers and make sure there was no threats .
"Everything is secure. Couple of men in the park itself" Lorenzo informed his father quietly as the two hung back slightly as Nico dragged the triplets to the entrance.
"Quickest exits are round the back through the red gates or on the left side of the park" Lorenzo added. He had studied the amusement park for a brief amount of time but it was also not his first time here. They had gone when the boys were younger.
"Good. Let's make sure they all have a good day" Rafael said and with that the subject of the mafia and anything related was dropped.
As the family waited in line, Alex looked around.
"We'll be okay" he whispered to his siblings.
"I had a look online at a map of the park, if we need to leave the quickest ways are through the red gates or on the left side of the park" he quietly told them although Lorenzo was behind him and smirked.
"Bet you told dad that exact thing. He's practically you" Leo whispered also hearing Alex.
Lorenzo didn't say anything.
"Come along kids" Rafael said before anymore could be said. He had been buying tickets so he hadn't heard any of the conversation.
Nico was excited and so that left Marco listening to Nico talk about his much fun it would be.
Marco was not impressed.
Tye triplets were anxious but as time went on the more they got used to it. Nico made them go on a through smaller rides with him since Marco refused.
The three of them got a rush especially Alex from the little speed it had.
"I'm surprised Jessica didn't invite herself" Leo muttered to Lorenzo who rolled his eyes.
Of course everyone heard.
"She's probably too busy looking for her next future husband" Marco muttered .
"When do we get to meet her" Alex asked in the most sweetest voice he'd ever had. Not vulnerable. He sounded way to innocent so obviously everyone knew he was up to something.
"Yeah when do our dear brothers and sister get to meet the wicked witch" Marco added with a sickly sweet tone .
"She's in Paris" Lorenzo replied.
Truthfully he did not want the triplets near her.
To build an empire, you had to to play a certain role. He had no plans to marry her. She was purely used to help his image. He didn't need money. He was rich and feared without getting married.
Jessica had been his girlfriend for a while, she was harmless but she had a nasty streak to her. She would use her words against people.
At first Jessica was a friend, then she was a distraction. They slept together enough for the media to think they were a couple and so Lorenzo and Jessica became a couple.
It helped in the business world. Lorenzo found he was able to get alot more deals when they saw him as anything but a player.
"I think we deserve to meet her. If she's going to be around at all, I want to know we're safe" James suprised everyone with his confidence.
"You can meet her some day" Lorenzo agreed.
Alex found himself zoning out, he was more interested in one of the bigger rollercoasters. It looked intense.
"We can go on it together " Lorenzo suggested when he caught Alex looking at it.
"Skye and James " Alex tried to object.
"We'll be right here" Skye and James cut him off.
They both knew Alex deserved to have some fun.
Alex was hesitant but agreed and together Lorenzo and Alex joined the fast track line for the ride.
"I think Lorenzo and Alex would love for you to buy the photo"Â Marco told his dad.
His other thought was it would be entertaining to have a lasting memory of Alex screaming.
Not painful. He never wanted that. But still the endless ways to embarrass him and perhaps Lorenzo.
Although he knew Lorenzo would probably sit there with a straight face.
"That's up to Lorenzo and Alex if they want the photo" Rafael said.
Meanwhile Lorenzo and Alex climbed into the cart. The staff checked the seatbelts were secured and safety bar was okay.
Both Lorenzo and Alex rolled their eyes and checked the safety themselves.
"You nervous?" Lorenzo asked.
"Oddly no. It's like a rush" Alex said.
Lorenzo could tell Alex would definitely turn into a reckless teenager the older he got. He loved the adrenaline, whether it was speeding or a simple rollercoaster. And Lorenzo wasn't blind to the similarities.
Alex would probably turn Rafael grey.
And as for James, he was starting to think James might be just as bad. He knew Alex was the protector. But James was a defender. James was calm, he listened to reason but if angered, he would snap.
And Skye, well she balanced them out. She was calm and Lorenzo didn't believe she could ever be like her brothers. After everything Marco did, she still stuck by him and gave him a chance.
And that was his last thought before the ride took place.
Once they reached back down to the others, Rafael asked if they wanted the photo the rollercoaster camera's automatically took.
Lorenzo was about to say no but one glance at the photo and he wanted a trillion copies.
Alex looked so carefree, the two of them had big smiles, neither of them screamed. They enjoyed it.
"How about it Alex, do you want a picture with your favourite big brother" Lorenzo asked.
"Ok. Can you take a picture of me with Leo" Alex asked in return.
Skye and James smiled knowing their brother was coming around.
Rafael got a copy of the photo, Lorenzo got a copy and Skye and James forced Alex to get one.
The triplets seemed to all look at a few kids carrying candy floss which led Rafael to getting the triplets candy floss. His other children didn't want anything.
The three of them had big grind on their face as they snacked on the candy floss.
They talked to each other, no worries, just nonsense about candy floss .
Everything was going so good for them.
"Can we go on that next" Skye asked pointing to a random ride.
"Boring. Let's go on that" James said pointing to a different ride.
"You're both wrong. Let's go on this" Alex stated.
"Kids we can go on all three" Rafael said reassuring them.
"Race you?" Alex asked Skye and James who nodded.
The three ran off to the first ride.
Although still in eye sight. Everyone noticed how Marco quickened his pace. Just in case.
"It's okay Marco. You're all safe" Rafael reassured his son.
"Yeah we can see them. Look how much fun they're having" Leo said.
"They have had to much sugar" Rafael said although he didn't have any regrets.
They continued around the park, several family pictures and even more sugar later, everyone was exhausted.
The triplets were practically bouncing as they waited in line for one of the booths.
"I want that teddy" Skye complained.
"I want the owl" James stated
"I want the lion" Alex added.
Rafael smiled. This was what they were suppose to be like but they had been hurt so much. It was nice to know they still had that childlike wonder, even if they were high on sugar.
The triplets frowned when they lost the game.
Marco glared at the man running the stall
"Move Alex" he stated and stood in front of the counter.
Alex watched as Marco tossed the balls so hard that they knocked down the glasses.
"Give him what he wants" he said pointing to James first.
He continued two more times earning the soft toys for Skye and Alex.
The triplets looked so pleased even Alex who muttered a thank you.
"Where's mine" Nico complained.
Marco sighed and turned back around and repeated the actions once more to earn Nico a random soft toy. Nico wasn't exactly bothered.
"Best of three?" Leo asked Lorenzo looking at the water gun booth. The aim was to hit the target with water.
"You're on" Lorenzo smirked and the two headed over.
Rafael smiled as he saw how much fun all his kids were having. His triplets argued playfully about names for their toys.
Nico and Marco were even suggesting ideas.
And his two eldest were using water guns.
The younger ones soon headed over to their eldest brothers. Rafael making sure they were okay even though they were just toys.
"Bet it would be fun with real targets" Leo whispered when the triplets approached.
"I couldn't agree more" Lorenzo said.
They both waited to make sure the triplets were okay.
The three youngest started trying to get Lorenzo and Leo to join in the naming of the cuddly toys.
"Why don't you ask dad" Leo suggested.
"He won't get involved. Said we need to figure it out ourselves." James said crossing his arms. Rafael smiled at his son whilst holding all the soft toys won.
"Too bad" Lorenzo slowly said.
Both brothers nodded to each other before turning around with the water gun and spraying the triplets.
Everyone seemed to wait in anticipation for the triplets to react but even they laughed.
"We're so getting you back" Alex stated.
"Oh it's on Alexander" Lorenzo replied.
"Water balloons" James whispered so only Alex heard.
Alex smirked and nodded.
Everyone else was clueless but no one minded because the triplets were happy.
The sugar should have worn off hours ago too.
