Third Person's POV:
It was a very beautiful morning. The sun was just rising, birds were chirping, air was flowing and nature was vibrant. Many people were up and enjoying this beautiful morning but not everyone.
As we have Benjamin, he doesn't like to get up early. He was struggling to get up but knew that he had to as he had gotten the punishment from his sister. If he wants her forgiveness and favour then he has to bear this punishment.
He got up at 5 a.m. with so much struggle. After getting ready he went to the home gym. There he met Alfonso who was getting everything ready for his training plan.
"Good morning brother." "Good morning Benjamin." They greeted each other.
"Let's go. Get started." Alfonso said. Benjamin nodded and went through with the training. Everyone was there as they have the habit of waking up early and they wanted to see him getting tortured. After the training he was so exhausted that he couldn't even lift his fingers.
"Brother you are enjoying this aren't you?" "Of course. No one has the power to wake you up so early and get through the training. I am enjoying this so much."
"I am so happy to have seen this scene in my life. Now I have seen everything. Sigh!" Matteo said dramatically.
"Good job fratello. Keep it up." Ariana said. "Ariana thank you because of you I can see this. I am so proud of you Benjamin." Rafael said, wiping a fake tear.
(Fratello means brother in Italian)
Everyone echoed and Benjamin was glaring at them. He can't change just like that can he? He is still that cold faced guy who likes to get angry at everything. But now he is more tolerant to his siblings, especially his sister. That's great progress.
After joking around they went to get ready for their day.

Ariana's POV:
I finished my breakfast and went to school with Matteo after saying goodbye to everyone.
I am very happy that Benjamin fratello completed his punishment for today. We reached our school and this time not many people were looking at me. I guess now they have gotten used to it. We went to our lockers and got our books and then went to the classes. The day passed by smoothly and then it was time to go home.
We went home and saw that there was no one at home. After completing my homework I came down and saw that there was still no one at home except Matteo.
"Hey Matteo, where is everyone?" "I don't know twinnie. Wait, I will call them and ask." Matteo first called Antonio. The call was on speaker.
"Hey fratello where are you? Ariana and I are waiting for you." "Yes brother, where are you?"
"I will be late today Ariana and Matteo. There is some emergency at work. Leonardo and dad are also with me. Rafael is also busy with hospital work. He informed me. Alfonso has some meetings with the clients for his gym. So he will be late also. Benjamin will be there in some time."
"Ok fratello. Take care." We hung up the phone.
"Ok twinnie. Let's wait for Benjamin fratello. Till then let's go and watch tv." I nodded and then went with him. After some time we heard that Benjamin fratello was home.
"Hey fratello you are here." "Hey Ari. We are the only ones here right?" I nodded.
"Ok so let's have dinner." We went and ate dinner.

Third Person's POV:
Romano mafia headquarters:-
Everyone was in a hurry here. There was an attack on the mafia. Romano's enemy attacked one of their warehouses that was very important for the mafia. They stole the shipments and containers of ammo from there. They have lost a great amount of money and ammunition.
The mafia was very angry and was trying to track down the enemies. That's why they weren't able to go home tonight. They were on the heels of the enemies. The world's best hacker was with them and they were trying their best to track them down.
They have just managed to get the location of their enemy when Matteo called. Antonio had to make excuses for everyone as everyone was there except Benjamin.
"Leonardo, what is the situation now?" Antonio asked, his face cloudy. If Ariana saw him now then she will say that he is not her brother that she knows. He is very different now. He is now the mafia boss, not a brother. He is leading the mafia now.
"It's under control. Our men have reached there and captured them alive. There are no casualties capo. We are interrogating them."
(Capo means boss in Italian)
"Good. Get me the results as soon as possible." Leonardo nodded and then went to the basement where all of the prisoners are kept for interrogation.
"Did they say anything?" He asked his men. "No signore. We are asking."
(Signore means sir in Italian)
He went and started asking them in his style. They couldn't handle his torture so they blurted out everything.
"Capo, we have the information here. They were sent by the Russian mafia."
"That Andrey. I will kill him. He is messing again with our mafia. Find out where he is. What about our consignment?"
"Ok. We have recovered them." Leonardo replied. "Ok good work. Let's go home after sorting things out." Gabriel said. Leonardo nodded and started completing his work.
After that they went home. They saw that the mansion was silent. So they thought that their siblings were asleep. All five of them went in and headed to their room after bidding good night.

Ariana's POV:
We went to sleep after eating.
Papa came in and woke me up just as I liked. "Good morning princess." "Good morning papa." "Get up and get ready for school." "Ok papa. When did you guys come yesterday?"
"We came late, princess. I hope you got enough sleep." "Yes papa. Is everything alright at work?" "Yes princess. There was just a minor problem at work. Now it's all settled." I nodded. I got ready and went for breakfast.
"Good morning everyone." I gave them a hug and greeted them. "Good morning princess." "Good morning Ari." "Good morning Ariana." "Good morning twinnie." "Good morning Ana." "Good morning Aria."
I raised my eyebrows. Aria, Ana?
"Aria, Ana?" "Yes Aria. Antonio calls you princess. Matteo calls you twinnie. Leonardo calls you Ariana. Rafael calls you Ari. So what about me?" Alfonso said.
"Yes, what about me also? So that's why I decided to call you Ana and Alfonso brother will call you Aria. What do you think?" I nodded. They are right.
"Ok fratello Ben I like that. Fratello Alf I like that name also." I said to them.
"What did you call me?" Benjamin fratello asked.
"Fratello Ben." He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. I was confused as to what was so exciting about it.
"What happened?" "Mom used to call me Ben." Ohh.. that's why he was so happy.
"Then from now on I will call you fratello Ben." He nodded excitedly.
"And you have to call me Alf also." I nodded at Alfonso fratello.
"What about us?" All of the other brothers asked. "Fratello Tony, fratello Leo and fratello Raf. How about it?"
"Ok it's good. Let's have breakfast now." After having breakfast I went to my parents' house as today was the holiday at school. This time I called in advance. I don't want to have a repeat of last time.
"Helloooo. I am home." Mom came out and hugged me tightly. It's been two days since I met her. I miss her so much.
"Oh Ari, I missed you. How are you?" "I am a fantastic mom. What about you? Where's dad?" "I am good too. Your dad went to the market to get some things. So how is everything going there?"
"Everything's going well mom. My papa and brothers are very supportive and loving. You know I had a fight with Ben fratello and....." I told her everything about our fight, punishment and everything.
We talked and talked. Then dad came. "Hey, my daughter is here. Did you forget your dad?" "No dad. How can I forget you guys? You are my lifeline."
"Yeah yeah. Tell that to us when you are in love with a handsome boy." Mom teased me. I blushed very darkly. This is my weak point. I blush easily and heavily.
"Mom. You know that I don't like to talk about this point right." I whined. I don't like to talk about marriage and boyfriend. I don't know why. I just want to become something first. Then I will think about dating and all. She knows that yet she teases me.
"Ok ok. Don't tease my baby girl." Dad fake glared at mom. Mom lifted her hands up in mock surrender.
"So Ari tell us about your school." "It's great. The teachers and everything are great. I have most of my classes with Matteo. I have made some friends also."
"That's good. You should be comfortable there." We talked for some time and then made our lunch and ate it. I talked with my friends and the Garcia mafia. I spent my whole day at my parents' and then went to the Romano mansion.
"Ciao a tutti." "Ciao princess." Everyone greeted me.
(ciao a tutti: hello everyone. Ciao: hello in Italian)
"So princess, how was your day today?" Papa asked me. "It was fantastic. I had so much fun today. We talked about everything that has happened till now. I also talked with my friends back in Texas."
"Good. How is your school going? Are you adapting well?" Antonio asked. "Yes. School is going great. We are having so much fun there."
"That's good. Ariana, how are you liking it here? Are you adapting well?" Leonardo asked.
"Yes fratello. I love it here. You are all here. Before I didn't know that I have six brothers. I always wanted brothers but didn't have one. Now that I have you all, I love you guys to death. I now have two dads and brothers so why won't I like it here?"
"That's a relief Ariana. I am glad you like it here." We talked for some time and then went to eat dinner.
*********
Third Person's POV:
Romanos were having dinner in New York while other Romano family members were having a discussion in Italy.
"I think we should go now. She has adapted till now. I can't wait anymore." Leonard said.
"Ok but let's call and inform them." Isabella said. Leonard nodded and called Gabriel.
On call:-
"Hello Gabriel. We are coming to meet her."
"Hello dad. When are you coming? You didn't even give us time to tell her about you."
"We are leaving from here tomorrow. What time? Why didn't you tell her about us till now? How much more time do you need?"
"Dad, it's not like that. We thought that we should let her adapt well before telling her about you all."
"Hmph! I won't listen to your nonsense. We are coming and that's final. Prepare her for us."
"Ok dad. I will come to pick all of you."
After talking they hung up the phone and Leonard told Isabella about it and they went to get everything and everyone ready for travelling.
Meanwhile in New York Gabriel was worried now. He was worried about how to tell Ariana about the family members.
He called for a family meeting.
"Dad, why did you call us here?" Matteo asked. "Yes dad what happened?" Benjamin also asked.
"They are coming. They will leave tomorrow." There was a pin drop silence in the room. Everyone was shocked and then they were very happy. Because whenever they came they had so much fun that they can't describe.
"Really? Wow. I am so excited." Matteo was jumping up and down. He was very excited. All of them were.
"Umm.. who is coming?" Ariana asked.
