The Broken Angel & Her Overprotective Brothers

Barely in a minute, all seven Alessandro siblings were standing on the stage as they all stared at Kaiden while patiently waiting for the man to start speaking.

Emily chewed on her lower lip as she stared at the handsome man in front of her. For some reason, her heart had suddenly started racing as she waited for him to speak.

The man did not spare her even a single glance even when she knew that he could feel her gaze on him. His attention was fixed on Domenic and the rest of her brothers.

What happened next left everyone shocked to their cores. They all watched with dumbfounded expressions on their faces as the great Kaiden Sullivan dropped on his knees in front of Domenic.

"Oh no! Is he going to propose to Dom?" Leo hurriedly voiced out the stupid thought that popped up in his mind and as a gift, he only received glares from his siblings.

Kaiden flicked his sleeve, silencing the whispers that were running throughout the hall. His beautiful cerulean eyes finally moved to look directly at Emily as he started speaking, "Five years ago, she came to City A for the very first time. At that time, I would have never guessed that my life was planning such a beautiful gift for me."

Emily felt her breath getting caught in her throat as she heard his words. It was clear that he was talking about her. She did not know if she was supposed to feel excited or nervous but she sure was having a hard time breathing.

"When I first time smelled her scent, I just knew that she's someone special. I still remember the day when I saw her for the first time. She looked so small and gentle. When I held her in my arms for the very first time, it felt so right. It was like we were meant to be together. And then I received her mark..." 

As Kaiden spoke the last sentence, one of his hands moved to cover the left side of his chest. A small smile appeared on his lips as he realized that his mate had yet to see her mark on him.

Emily started clenching and unclenching her fingers. While she was clearly feeling deeply touched by his confession, she could not help but feel nervous as she felt her brothers' gazes fixed on her.

Unlike the other guests at the party who were still trying to wrap their brains around what Young Master Sullivan was suddenly talking about, her brothers were clearly aware that Kaiden was talking about none other than their precious little sister.

The man was really brave. Did he seriously think that they won't dare to hurt him just because he had chosen a crowded place to reveal his sins?

"She's like an angel full of brightness and joy. Since the day she appeared in my life, I finally found a new reason to live. I like everything about her. She's kind, humble, soft-hearted, but also brave and childish. She knows how to enjoy her life and she also knows how to love."

Kaiden continued to confess his deep and sincere feelings and no one dared to make any noise as they all wanted to hear what he was going to say next.

"She's light to my darkness, joy to my sorrow, and the other half of my soul. She's my mate, my second chance, and the person whom I love with all my heart." His voice was filled with so many emotions as his eyes kept fixed on his angel.

Emily had almost forgotten that she needed to breathe and it was only when she heard a familiar voice whispering into her ear to relax and take a deep breath, did she finally inhaled the much-needed oxygen.

"Today, I want to use this occasion to ask for permission from all the Young Masters of the Alessandro Empire......... Can I have the privilege to court your dear sister? I promise to keep her happy. I will always protect her and support her. I will never hurt her or let anyone else hurt her. I promise to always be there for her. If the Young Masters think that I'm qualified enough for their sister, I'm willing to prove my worth and my love for her. All I need is your permission and......my angel's support." 

At this point, Emily could not even dare to breathe anymore. She was just too nervous to do that. The fact that her and Kaiden's future as a couple was now in her brothers' hands, did absolutely nothing to calm her down. 

She suddenly felt like every single pair of eyes in the hall was now trained on her, including her brothers.

"Em, breathe. You are going to pass out at this rate." 

She once again heard a familiar voice whispering into her ear and as she finally turned to look at the man standing slightly behind her, her eyes landed on Simon.

One of her brother's hands was placed on her shoulder and he was slightly massaging her muscles to help her relax. If it had been some other situation, she would have been super happy to see Simon caring about her but her current situation did not allow her to enjoy anything.

She suddenly felt a cold gaze landing on her which made her shiver. Her eyes immediately turned to look at Domenic who was also looking right back at her with unreadable eyes. 

"Emilia, come here." 

His voice too sounded void of any kind of emotions and it only made her panic more. Her legs refused to move as she suddenly had a strong urge to smack the stupid Young Master Sullivan for creating such a scene. 

She did not spare the man a single glance, she dared not! She just wanted to somehow survive the current situation.

"Emily"

Daniel softly called her name when he saw that she was rooted to her place and refused to move. 

Emily felt Simon and Leo giving her a soft push from behind which finally helped her moving a few steps closer to Domenic but then she again found it hard to move any further.

And that was when Domenic finally lost his calm....!
