✘ Chapter 7 ✘

Romeo's smile dropped for a second after Apollo and Ares told him to stay away from me, but then he regained that smile in a second and put his hands up in surrender.

"Okay you're free to go, we filled out all the paperwork and updated the current guardians of Athena, Apollo and Ares to be Mr and Mrs Bianchi, we could book a court appointment, to change their last names?" An officer was standing right next to us, with a notepad and pen, we didn't even realise he was there since we were so engrossed in a silent stare-off with our biological family

"No, you will not book a court appointment" apollo broke the silence staring dead at the officer

"But since they are yo-" he tried to reason with him but Apollo stopped her with a stern stare

"Did I stutter before, when I said no?"

Romeo, Valentino and Armani looked at each other, I could see the wheels turning in their heads, I had to cover it up before suspecting anything. We can't have the police looking into our lives.

"He means, we just met our family after so many years, we should get to know each other first right?...... before moving to the big steps?" I softly told the officer, squeezing apollos bicep.

The officer nodded but he was still shaking from Apollos' stare-off. Me and my brothers picked up our things from the table and started walking toward the door.

" you're coming with us triplets" Armanis' voice stopped us before we could get out

What is it with people stopping us today?

"Oh right we are, how about you guys start, our car will follow yours," Ares told Armani with a smile. Armani's eyes widened and he smiled back at him and nodded

I could tell Ares was sort of happy we were going with them, he always wanted a proper family with a mum, dad and family time. Not saying he doesn't love us but there's always been a part of him that wants to have that family experience, I can tell even if he tries to push that part of him down.

We all walked out of the police station and that's when things started getting to me. I was going back to my family home after years, with a family that didn't even want me and my brothers. Fuck that's a game changer

No shit

"That's your black SUV? Why is there a driver in it" Valentino asked us with his eyebrow curled up and looking at our black SUV which was waiting for us outside the station steps.

"It's our uber" Apollo simply says, not giving Valentino any eye contact and kept walking to the SUV with me and Ares following behind him. Apollo opened the back door for me and Ares and after we got in, he got in the front passenger seat.

"We're going to get our stuff from our house and we'll meet you at the airport" before I could roll my window up after saying that, Romeo said something

"How about we come with you to pick up your stuff and then we all go to the airport"

"But the flight-"

"It's a private jet don't worry"

I internally huffed and nodded at him, they got into their cars with giant smiles on their faces.

"Drive to the cover-up house please jack," I told our driver, he's been with us since we were young, driving us anywhere and everywhere we ever wanted to go.

"Okay I hate this" apollo growls, handing me and Ares our laptops and phones that were stashed in the front car compartment

" I mean, so do I," Ares says distractedly while putting in random letters on the laptop which I'm so tired of making words out of. He was probably getting most of the information about our biological family, we already knew they were the Italian mafia but we have to know them more than they know themselves

"No I'm serious Ares, we have the chance to just bolt out of here now" Apollo looked back at us seriously, me and Ares made eye contact, we knew we were both thinking the same thing.

"We could, but there's a car behind us, plus they're gonna know something is up. We worked so hard to build our empire in the Chicago outfit. We can't give it up" I put my hand on Apollo's shoulder. It was true, we worked our sweat, tears and blood off for our thrones right now. If we bolt, they're going to know something is up and investigate using all their power.

He huffed and sighed in defeat, he knew we were right, he just didn't want to confess it. He put his head on my hand and I put my head on the back of his seat, and we sat comfortably in silence throughout the whole ride to our house.

Finally, after an hour or two, we pulled to a house, we made sure not to go to the gang house and went to the other cover-up house we had, which was less suspicious. The house was way smaller than our other ones, it was mostly made of glass and had spectacular lighting. Even if it was small, the house was a breathtaking sight to look at.

Shortly after we stopped at the drive-through, Romeo's car pulled up behind us. Getting out we noticed the shock and astonishment on Armanis, Valentinos and Romeo's faces.

I smirk, they must have thought we were broke high school kids, and the fun is that they aren't aware of the rest of our money.

I and Apollo rush into the house after unlocking it while Ares is making up an excuse to Armani about the house.

"Okay get the essentials clothes, shoes, guns, knives, bombs, drugs you know what else, I'll have someone send the cars over in a few days" I huff while throwing everything in the suitcase

In an hour give or take a few minutes, me and Apollo were ready with our stuff, and Ares was rushing down the stairs with the last of his stuff.

"Let's load up, and guys please try to at least be a little discrete with the Chicago outfit stuff" the boys shrug my advice off and start putting stuff in the car trunks, yes trunks, turns out we need 3 big SUVs for our stuff, and we only packed the basic necessities.

"Just follow us to the airport, there's a special place for the private jet. If you get lost in the traffic or at the airport and we're not there, just wait at the entrance, " Romeo says before he rolls his window back up and drives in front of us.

"He- he thinks that- that this is our first time on a private jet!" apollo bursts out laughing and me and are can't help but join in

"I'm pretty sure we own more planes than the age he's going to be turning this year" Ares cuts in the laughing and we all start laughing like hyenas again.

It takes us 40 mins to stop laughing and to realise we got to the airport, that was quick

Maybe cause we made jokes about our wealth the entire time in the car

Opening the doors we head to the section where private jets usually are and our biological family meets there. Some workers already took our bags to the jet.

We walked to a giant black jet, it was big as fuck, not bigger than ours though but still big. The biological stress is waiting for our reaction to the jet. At this time, I don't even have the energy to fake one. All three of them looked shocked for a second but then regained their expressions

"Let's go in the jet, '' Romeos said and put his arm around Apollo's shoulder but Apollo just shrugged it off and climbed the jet stairs. We all noticed the white interior and I was impressed even if I say it myself, the leather seats were crafter perfectly for comfort and the windows and beautiful gold's liners around them, there were mini TVs addicted to all the seats and the top of the get and glittery gold sparkles.

I nearly screamed when I sat down, my tired limbs could finally relax

It's not easier to burn a giant mafia building than spend 4 excruciating hours in prison, meeting your biologicals from years ago who are taking you to Italy or somewhere I have no idea.

This was gonna be a long plane ride

"I'll wake you up when we get there" Ares presses a kiss to my forehead and holds my hand.
