The Broken Angel & Her Overprotective Brothers

Emily was sitting in her room as she stared at the wallpaper of her phone. It was a photo of her with her brothers that Crist had captured on her birthday. 

It was almost six o'clock in the evening and she was feeling bored.

When she first woke up in the morning around nine o'clock, she did not found Domenic anywhere in her room.

She even doubted that he did not sleep at all, rather, he just waited for her to fall asleep before he flew from her room.

After freshening up and having a thorough checkup by Doctor Sam before brunch, she finally ended up telling her brothers about everything that happened the previous night.

And for the first time, she did not hide a single piece of information from them.

She was expecting her brothers to burst out in anger after realizing exactly how stupid she was. What she did not expect was them laughing at her dumbness and reacting almost positively about everything.

And that's why she was now filled with questions and uncertainties since her mind had space and time to think about all the things that were wrong with the way they reacted.

Why none of them got angry at her? Of course, Mark was an exception. But if his angry words of the previous night were to be neglected then even he stayed silent the entire time as she confessed.

The only indication that he was not as chill like the rest of her brothers about her foolishness was the scowl that was covering his face all the time. 

She could not help but think that something was very wrong with her brothers. Were they finally done with her? Were they planning to send her back to the orphanage?

"No, we are not!"

The sharp voice that suddenly entered her ears made Emily jump in surprise. 

"Nick?" 

It came out as a question though it was not supposed to, even though she was surprised to see her brother standing at the entrance of the room.

Then it suddenly hit her.

"Was I talking my thoughts out loud?" She asked in a small voice.

"You were and that's probably a good thing. Otherwise, we would never have realized that your brain is filled with such stupid thoughts." Daniel said as he entered her room with a plate full of cookies.

He took a seat beside her on her bed as he placed the plate of cookies in front of her.

"You know that I don't like....." Emily was in mid of rejecting those yummy-looking cookies when Domenic picked one and put it in her half-opened mouth.

She was so shocked that she could barely process what just happened.

On the other hand, Domenic settled down on her other side as he took another cookie from the plate and started eating it in silence.

It took all of Daniel's self-control to not start laughing at his brother's actions.

He turned his attention at the wide-eyed Emily as he said, "At least try it. For the first time in years, Domenic has helped me in the kitchen in baking them especially for you."

"You....!" Domenic glared at his brother for revealing the secret even though he had promised not to tell her about it.

But it was too late. The cat was already out of the bucket.

One moment, Emily was ready to throw up, and as soon as she heard that it was Daniel and Domenic who personally baked the cookies for her, she could not make herself reject them.

She took in a deep breath and finally tasted the sweetness that was filling the cookie.

"It's good, to be honest." She said after finishing the cookie. Her hand immediately creeping to pick another one from the plate.

Her words and actions brought smiles to her brothers' faces as they watched her eating the cookies in silence.

It was after a few minutes when Domenic decided to break the silence, "Emmy."

Emily looked up at her brother and noticed that he was looking at her with serious eyes, making her realize that whatever he was about to say something serious.

"Always remember that you are a part of the Alessandro family. Without you, this family can never be called a family. I did not bring you back so that one day I can send you away. You came here so that you can spend the rest of your life here with us. And nothing is going to change it." 

"No matter how many mistakes you will make or problems you will create in the future, the fact that you are our sister and that you have an equal right to stay in this mansion, will never going to change." 

His eyes were filled with sincerity and as Emily turned her face to look at Daniel, she only found the same sincerity in them too.

With a soft smile blooming on her face, she gave a nod to her brothers. Assuring them that she believed them and promising herself to believe them.

Her heart and mind relaxed as they were no longer suffering from the panic of being thrown out of the house.

"Sorellina, we know that there are so many questions that you have about all that has happened in the past few days. You don't have to worry, we have decided to tell you about everything. We will talk about this after dinner. Alright?" Daniel looked into her eyes as if he was searching for something in them.

Emily immediately nodded her head as she too was eager to find the answers to her questions.

Daniel patted her head softly before he stood up and after giving Domenic a quick nod, he left the room.

The two of them were silent for the next few minutes but then Domenic too stood up and after giving her a soft pat on her shoulder, he too headed towards the door.

He was about to leave the room when Emily found herself calling his name.

"Nick...."

Domenic stopped in his tracks as he turned to look at her.

"I have something else to tell you. More like to show you..."
