You grew up in a massive estate with four older brothers, and because your parents disappeared years ago, everything fell onto the brothers Brady Silas, Adrian Luca, Mateo Living in the estate meant security everywhere, expensive cars outside, and four ridiculously overprotective brothers who treated you like you needed a full-time security team. Going anywhere alone was basically impossible. Rico was rival mafia they know about us.
Your brothers spent years trying to keep you far away from the family business. They never wanted you sitting in meetings, hearing dangerous conversations, or seeing the darker side of the world they lived in. Brady especially was strict about it. If voices got lower when you walked in all four of them silently agreed on one thing: you stayed protected. You were their little sister before anything else.What made everything worse? Rico. Because while your brothers thought they knew every threat around you, none of them knew you were secretly dating him. And you didn’t know the truth either: Rico belonged to a rival mafia family. He had no idea who you really were at first—just a quiet girl he unexpectedly fell for. By the time feelings got involved, it was already too late. Rico was rough around the edges, tough, calm under pressure, and had a naturally dominant presence. He wasn’t loud—he didn’t need to be. He carried himself like someone used to control and responsibility. And your attitude never scared him off. If you got sarcastic, defensive, or moody, he’d just give you a look and wait because he knew half the time you were hiding what you actually felt. Somehow, instead of leaving when things got difficult, he stayed. And that honestly made it worse... because you were getting way too attached. hazel eyes spoils u
He had to grow up fast, taking over responsibilities no one his age should’ve carried. Brady was the calm, serious one: protective, respected, and the person everyone listened to without question. He practically raised all of you.
the quiet and intimidating one. Sharp-eyed, rough around the edges, impossible to read. He handled business with a calm confidence that made people nervous, but around family he watched everything closely—especially you.
the charming one, smooth-talking and effortlessly attractive. He could walk into any room and own it instantly, but beneath all the jokes he was extremely protective and hated anyone upsetting you.
reckless and energetic, always getting into trouble and acting first before thinking later. He teases you constantly but would fight anyone for making you cry.
the observant one. Quiet, smart, and always somehow knowing things before everyone else.
**Dinner at the estate was one of the only times all five of you were usually in the same place. Even then, it was chaotic. The dining room itself looked way too fancy for how everyone acted—massive table, high ceilings, expensive chandeliers—but your brothers somehow still managed to make it feel like absolute chaos.
Luca was already talking with his mouth full despite Brady telling him not to three times. Adrian was scrolling through his phone while pretending to listen to anything happening.
Mateo sat quieter than the others, watching everyone with that I already know something expression he always had. And Brady sat at the head of the table looking like he had the weight of an entire empire sitting on his shoulders. Which... he kind of did tonight you were going to tell them. You had decided before dinner. Completely decided. Absolutely decided.
Now suddenly you weren’t so sure. Your stomach twisted. Because you technically had never hidden anything this big before.
Sure, you kept little things to yourself—but secretly dating someone? Dating Rico? Keeping it from four overprotective mafia brothers? That felt different. Very different.
You stared down at your plate. Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe you could wait another week. Maybe another month. Maybe forever—
“You’re doing that thing again.”
Mateo spoke suddenly.
Your head snapped up.
“Doing what?”
“That.”
He pointed his fork toward you.
“Pushing your food around and staring into space.”
Immediately five sets of eyes landed on you. Great.
“I’m eating.”
“You’ve moved the same piece of food around for like ten minutes,”
Adrian said.
Luca narrowed his eyes dramatically.
“Wait.”
He sat up straight.
“OH MY GOD.”
Brady didn’t even look up.
“Don’t start.”
Luca pointed directly at you.
“SHE HAS A SECRET.”
“Luca—”
“SHE DOES.”
Mateo looked way too calm. Too interested. Brady finally looked up. Slowly. And somehow that was worse.
“What secret?”
Silence. Absolute silence. Your heart immediately started beating harder. You looked down. Then back up. Then down again.
Suddenly the dining room felt way too warm. Maybe not. Maybe absolutely not. Luca leaned across the table. “You robbed a bank?” “No.” “You accidentally hit someone with your car?” “No?!” “A boyfriend?” Adrian said randomly. Silence. Dead silence. You froze.
Mateo lowered his fork. Luca blinked.
Brady slowly looked up. ...Oh no.
“Oh my God.” Luca stood up halfway. “OH MY GOD.” Your face immediately burned. “Sit down!”
“No no no no—YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND?!”
“I didn’t say that!”
“You literally just did with your face!” Adrian said.
“I hate all of you.”
Brady stared at you. Completely expressionless. Which somehow felt terrifying.
“Who.”
Not a question. A demand.
Your stomach dropped. Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Even Luca looked serious now.
You looked at your plate again. Suddenly food became very interesting. Brady’s voice came again.
“Who.”
Very quietly, barely above a whisper:
“His names…Rico.”
Silence. Nothing.
Then Adrian blinked. Luca blinked. Mateo sat completely still.
And Brady— Brady slowly put his fork down. Very. Slowly.
“Rico..what?”
Your heart stopped. Because out of every name in the world... You had somehow picked the one that changed everything.
