Kaira's POV:
I saw a small figure, I wasn't able to see who it was clearly. My body got alarmed.
It looked like a kid, and maybe a boy.
" Who are you?" I said in a cold voice and walked near him.
He got startled and looked at me. Then I realised, he looked similar to me.
" Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" He asked in his childish voice and clenched his pillow, then I looked at what he was holding a pillow. Seriously?
" I will hit you with this. Stay away from me." He said showing his pillow to me. I looked at his face, which was not giving a single expression about fear and then at his legs which were shaking rapidly due to fear.
I chuckled.
Wait, I chuckled? Even I am shocked. I have never, I mean never even smiled properly, let alone chuckle.
Alright, back to my cold girl's era.
" Answer me, who are you?" I said in my cold voice. The poor guy looked like he was going to cry soon. Not truly his fault, even adults shiver because of my cold voice, and he was after all just a kid.
" I-I a-am A-Antonio D-DeLuca." My eyes widened.
I have a younger brother.
I sat in front of him, and my eyes soften.
" What's your age?" I asked this time in a softer voice, he seemed to relax this time.
He showed me his 6 fingers.
My brother? And no one even thought to tell me. Where they going to hide it from me that I have younger sibling? Maybe because they think, I will hurt him also.
" You look like Aria." I ignored him.
Oh, so they didn't even told him who am I? Maybe they were hoping for me to go early.
" Alright, so what are you doing here at-" I looked at the clock and then continued, " 3 o'clock."
" Why shall I tell you?"
" Because I am your elder sister."
" Oh, are you Arya's twin?" He asked like he solved a big mystery.
" Yes."
" Then why haven't I seen you before?"
" I was going to a school which was far from the home, that's why."
" So why are you back?"
Even I don't know that.
" Because I missed everyone."
" Oh, so am I included in everyone?"
" Ofcourse."
" But you didn't even know me." He looked at me with a sad pout, which looked really too cute.
" But now I do, and you are my favourite."
" I am your favourite?" He asked excitedly.
I nodded and he gave me a cheeky smile.
" You are my favourite too." He hugged me, first I flinched but then I relaxed and hugged him too.
It feels too good to be hugged. I missed it.
He pulled from the hug and then saw me.
" Why are you crying?" Then I realised that I was crying. I wiped them.
" No, I was not crying." I said standing.
" No, you were. Tell why?"
" Maybe because I missed hugs."
" Now, I am with you na, so I will give you so many hugs." He extended his hands, showing him much hugs he will give me. I smiled.
" Now you tell what are you doing this late?"
" I wasn't able to sleep." He pouted. God, he's so cute.
" What are you doing?" He pointed his finger at me.
" I was hungry, so going to eat something. Do you also want?"
He first thought then smiled and nodded his head.
" Follow me." I said and started coming down.
I looked at him who was slowly slowly coming behind me, the fact that the stairs were too long for him didn't help him, so he looked at me with puppy eyes.
I sighed and picked him up and he gave me a beautiful smile.
I came down, made him sit on the counter. I opened the fridge to look at something.
There was indeed a lot of stuff, our school even though had triple the people here, had 1/4 th food compared to here, which lasted a month.
I took out bread and keep it on the counter.
" So what will you like to have?"
" Bread with Nutella." He said excitedly.
" Alright, how do we make Nutella?" He gave me a 'are of serious' look.
He stood on the counter and opened a drawer, and pulled a small box from it.
I looked at it, it was named "Nutella". Ok, so that's why he was giving me 'are you serious' look.
" Have you ever tasted it?"
I shook my head and he looked at me with disbelief.
He took a spoon and put it in it and put the spoon in front of me.
I took a bite and god, it was incredible.
" Uhmm.. it's tasty." I said and he smiled.
" I know." He also took a spoon and ate. Then he looked at me again.
" Do you want some more?" I nodded and he again feed me.
Am I crazy if I say I am loving it? Spending my time with him. It kinda makes me feel... Loved.
Then I spread it on the bread and we both are happily.
Suddenly I felt something on my cheek, I looked at Antonio who was smiling cheekily. I put my hand on my cheek and saw Nutella on it.
I gave him a fake angry look.
He started running while laughing and I ran after him.
I caught him in just a minute and picked him up.
" I am sorry." He said while laughing and I smiled. I rubbed my Nutella one cheek to his cheek.
" Eww."
I chuckled looking at his reaction.
" Now time for bed." I said taking him up.
" Where's your room?" He pointed at my old room.
That's why my room was looking changed and more of a boyish.
I tucked him in his bed after wiping his cheek and mine slightly.
When I was about to go, he tugged my sleeve, I looked back at him.
" Will you sleep with me?"
I know everyone's going to get upset but I want to spend as much as time, I can with my little brother before leaving.
I nodded and layed on the bed.
He hugged me and I took hugged him, like this we both slept while cuddling.
ð¸ð¸ð¸ð¸ð¸ð¸
I woke up when I felt someone's hard glare at me.
I opened my eyes to see Valentino glaring at me.
" WHAT THE HELL, ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
Antonio woke up due to his shouting and everyone rushed into the room.
I kissed Antonio's head.
" You sleep, I will talk to them." I said very softly to him and he layed on the bed.
I got up and came out, closing Antonio room's door.
Valentino and Francesco were glaring at me but I just gave them a cold stare.
" ARE YOU PLANNING TO HURT MY YOUNGER BROTHER LIKE YOU DID TO ARIA?" He shouted.
" First of all, don't shout at me otherwise I will cut that tongue of yours making sure you never talk like that again. Second, he is OUR brother, get that in your head. Third, he is still sleeping don't try to create a scene." With that I was going back to my room but I was stopped.
" Stay away from him."
I turned back and looked straight at Aria.
" I won't." I said making glare still looking in her eyes. My eyes met with a well built chest, I looked up to see Francesco standing in front of her.
" Don't talk to her like that." He said.
" Don't teach me how to talk."
" Kaira is this the way you talk to elders." Dad said.
I looked at him.
" Yes."
" I told you not to bring her still you did, now see what happened."
I am just one second away from punching Valentino. Is he always shouting like this? Jesus, he is annoying. Thankfully, Antonio is like none of them.
I ignored them and came to my room.
Changed and got ready.
It was 8 o'clock, I woke at 7:39 today, I usually wake at 5 or something.
This is the very first time, I slept till this late. We had a strict discipline in our school. You wake up, do all your chores, do all torturer's task, and also the Dean's. And when you do they ruin it again, give you punishment for it, make sure you are not able to wake up again after it, but still make you do chores if you don't you get punished more brutally. You only have to get A+, if you don't, they will take it as a way to torture.
Well, from school, I remember I have to go to school too.
I need a laptop.
I started going down when I saw Antonio coming out his room. He saw me and hurried towards me. As he just came to my leg, he hugged my legs, I smiled and picked him.
I kissed his cheek.
" Good morning, baby."
" Good morning, Tesoro (darling)."
" Where did you hear Tesoro from?" I asked.
" Valentino calls Aria that only and Aria is his favourite. So, now you are my favourite so I can call you Tesoro."
I felt very happy hearing it.
" Antonio." I saw Alessandro standing near us.
I kept Antonio down and got back to my cold era.
" Come down, you will be late for school." He nodded. He followed Alessandro but stopped when he saw I was not following him.
" Why are you not coming?"
I didn't wanted to go down and ruin there family time. And being honest, I am not even hungry a little bit, I just had 4-5 hours ago.
" I am not hungry, you carry on. I will come later."
" No, you also come." He hold my hand and took my downstairs.
Everyone's eyes snapped open when they saw Antonio coming there while holding my hand.
I saw Valentino's jaw cand first clenched, he looked like he will kill me soon, Francesco had a similar reaction but he was a little less angry, Lorenzo and Dad were expressionless, Alessandro looked at Aria, who was.... Jealous.
God, she is still jealous, after having everyone around her.
Antonio sat on his seat which was next to Aria and gestured me to sit next to him.
" Kaira, you will be sitting at the other table."
I looked at the other table, which was a lot far then them.
" No thanks, I am not here to eat." I said and made my way upstairs.
" Stop. You are going to have your breakfast." Dad said.
The audacity of this man, to think that he can order me.
" I am not bound to follow your orders."
" Kaira meet me at my office. Right now." Lorenzo stood from his place and made his way to somewhere.
" This girl is so annoying due to her only all this drama is happening. Now morning is also not left good."
Trust me, Valentino is going to have a slap from me someday.
I followed Lorenzo.
I entered his office where he was sitting on his chair.
" You are living here so you need to follow the rules."
" 1. You have to stay in the guest chamber, I don't want you near any of our rooms or anyone. Especially Aria and Antonio.
2. You have to respect everyone and not talk back. Speak only when asked to.
3. You will come to have your food, have it and leave. I don't want you skipping any of your meal.
4. You will start going to school after two days so I will ask a driver to drop you in the mall to shop. Take this card, but make sure you only use how much is required and there will be two guards following you.
5. No guy friends or boyfriends are allowed. You can keep a female friend but they should not come here.
6. No drinking. No smoking.
7. Whenever you are going out, you will tell me or anyone elder to you. Two guards will go with you excluding driver. And you have to be back by 6."
I saw a black credit card on the table which he forwarded towards me.
I sat on the chair in front of him while crossing my legs.
" 1. I don't care about anyone of you except Antonio. I will not stay away from him.
2. Don't poke your nose in my matter, and I will stay out of yours. I will only respect when needed and definitely talk back. I don't need your permission to talk.
3. I will eat when I want, how I want. None of you, have a say.
4. I will not to go to the school, you choose and I don't need your card.

6. I can agree on 6 as nor I drink neither I smoke.
7. I can go where I want, how I want. And I won't be taking any guards."
" This is not that school of yours. Now you are staying at this house so you must follow the rules."
" Throw me out then." I said while standing and walking out.
