*Alexa's POV*

"Who are they?"

All adults looked at each other with fear, it was like they were talking with their eyes.

"Let's go inside and then we'll tell you, yeah?" My dad said calmly.

I slowly nodded, following them.

I felt my hand in someone's hand, I looked down to see Emilia. I had totally forgotten that she had been so excited for rmy arrival.

I smiled at her, we were going to do prank wars, I had planned it all out.

Outside the mansion were two guards wearing black, I eyed them suspiciously, but they didn't even glance at me.

Once we had gathered up at a long table, aunt Laura nodded at uncle Charles, indicating him to do something.

Uncle Charles turned and left to go somewhere, taking Emilia and Ava with him.

I turned to face my parents who were sitting in front of me.

Mum took a deep breath and blurred out,"They're your step brothers. And the man is your step father." She pointed at them.

I blinked and stared at her.

"You're not joking?" I asked, excitement already filling me up.

She shook her head hesitantly.

I pushed myself up from the table and started squealing. I had always wanted siblings, especially older brother, I did not care for the fact that they were my stepbrothers.

"Wait," I said stopping,"I have alot of questions."

I sat back down.

This time dad spoke up,"Your mother fell in love with your step dad and they both got your five stepbrothers. Elonzo, the eldest, William, Blake, Ryder and Tyler, the twins." Tho se five names sounded so familiar to me,"Then..."

He got hesitant.

"I had a family issue, so I left," Mum cut in.

"Where is my step dad, then?" I questioned.

"He's dead," a cold voice answered, making me shudder.

I turned around to see all five boys, exposing the man, from the picture.

"Oh," I whispered.

"But your dad took us in like his own later on," He continued.

I didn't know what to say because my shy self had come back.

"Alright, off to bed now, you barely slept in the plane," Mum ordered.

I nodded slowly.

Aunt Laura took my to my room, I gave a quick glance at my stepbrothers.

We went up the stairs and through many hallways till we stopped at a door.

Aunt Laura smiled,"See you tomorrow morning."

And then she left me. I opened the white door which led me inside to see aesthetic purple walls. The room was big, it had a huge bouncy bed, and a window sill for me to sit on.

Then there were two doors, one leading to my huge wardrobe, which I was pretty sure was going to be full by the end of our journey.

The second door led to the bathroom which had a ginormous shower and bathtub, of course, a toilet as well, but that was normal size.

I sighed, changing out of my clothes that had somehow already sat there waiting for me.

I got into bed and attempted to fall asleep, but it was hard.

Something was bugging me.

Elenzo, William, Blake, Tyler and Ryder.

Those names sounded so familiar.

Then it clicked into my mind.

Most of the mafia stories on Wattpad that I had read had these names!

But.. No.. It couldn't be.. Were they part of the mafia?

I got out of my bed and rummaged through my bag for a piece of paper and pen.

Once finding them, I scribbled down the description of each brother based on the stories from Wattpad.

Elonzo- Cold eyes, cold stare,good at hiding emotions but warm from the heart. Very overprotective and will do anything for the family. The brother whom the main character hates. The leader.

William- The one who acts kind in front of family and sister, usually the main character's favorite brother. Role in mafia? A doctor or nurse.

Blake- Second brother the main character hates. Acts cold, just has anger issues and is having a hard time excepting things. Has a warm heart but it takes time to see it.

Tyler and Ryder- The twins of each and every mafia story. They are pranksters. One twin is a bit mean, but not as much. Fun to be with and a bit young for the mafia.

I sighed, there was alot of things to put together. I just had to find the missing pieces.It was like a puzzle that I had to fix.

I was to start my detective work the next day.
