chapter 17

Some months later

It was now time for Bella to go for school.

Bella was very excited to go to school and so were Damon and Damien as she will be going to their school. Even though she will not be in their class as they were in grade one but still they were happy.

Bella's parents were happy to see her excited for school not like her brothers who has thrown fit for not going to school.

But them and her brothers were lil worried also. There were many thoughts in their mind like

'what if she needs them'

'what if someone bullies her'

'what if she doesn't feel comfortable there'

There were many 'what ifs' but they also know that she has to go and face the world. They can't be with her all the time and she can't hide behind them all her life.

They want her to face the real world. They want to shield her from the harshness of the world but at the same time wanted her to face them.

They know that they will be with her whenever she needs someone, to guide her and support her but she will be the only one who will be facing her problems.

1st day of Bella's school

It was the first day of Bella's school. Everyone was gathered at Valencia-Moretti mansion to wish Bella luck. They all went to school in their cars to drop her at school.

At school,

Suddenly 7 lavish cars with 4 additional SUVs full of guards  entered the gates of school.

Parents and students, pre-schoolers and high schoolers who were present in the school ground were astonished to see such expensive cars in the school entering at the same time.

Even though the parents there were rich and have good cars but not expensive as the ones that has entered now.

High school boys were admiring the cars and getting jealous of the owners while girls were pulling their clothes down to show them their cleavage except for the few girls who were decent enough not to do so.

The cars stopped in a line. From the first car which was a black Rolls Royce phantom Roberto, Arturo and Isabella stepped outside like royalty.

Parents who saw them, trembled like a leave and started doing their works because they know Morerti-Valencia family doesn't like when people stare at them.

They even had heard the rumors of them being in Mafia but some of them knew that they are not rumors.

The next car was a Buggati Chiron, from which Lucian and his wife stepped outside.

First Lucian came out and opened the door for his wife, like a gentleman which he was but only for his family.

Then Alessandro and Domenico stepped outside from their Buggati la voiture noire.

When they came out girls started squealing and giving them seductive looks to which Domenico and Alessandro royally ignored and boys were jealous of them because of their looks and cars.

Then from an Audi R8, the passenger seat door opened Killian came with his ever charming smile and Marcello from driver's seat with playful look on his face and he winked at the nearby girls to which they started shouting and squealing and Killian just shook his head.

He so wanted to smack his head upside down but controlled his urge to do so. First they are in public and second he knew if he did this his over dramatic brother is gonna throw a big ass tantrum.

After Killian and Marcello, a McLaren stopped from which Elias, Ezekiel and Elijah stepped outside and winked at the girls.

Next one a Mercedes Benz from which Adonis stepped outside with his sons Damon and Damien.

He had an stoic expression on his face and whoever stares at them. He gave them cold look which send shivers down their attention and forces them to divert their attention from them.

From the last car, which was Lamborghini Aventador first stepped outside Franceso and opened the door for his car. He forwarded his hand towards the passenger seat,a soft feminine hand was placed on his and his lovely wife Amelia stepped out.

He gave her a smile which vanished within seconds. It was only noticed by his wife and no one else. After her, he again forwarded his hands towards the backseat of the car after opening it and a soft small hand was placed in his big rough hand and stepped outside a cute little girl with a smile on her face. She gave a smile to both of her parents.

The little girl was dressed in a dark blue floral print cami summer dress, which was designed by her mother and Aunt.

She was looking so adorable in it and nearby people were gushing over her cuteness.

The cute girl was none other than Bella.

Damon and Damien rushed to her and stood on each side of Bella. They give her a peck on her cheeks at the same time and Killian captured the scene in his mobile. He smiled looking at his munchkins.

They all came one by one and kissed the foreheads of the youngest trio.

It was now time for her to enter the school. She was excited but a lil nervous also.

Alessandro kneeled in front of her. The bodyguards had already formed a circle around the family to shield them from people's stares and any harm.

He cupped the face of his Stella and said,"Stella remember you're a Valencia-Moretti and they are not afraid of anything. So be strong and enjoy your day. I'll be waiting for you outside at the end of school." Then he kissed her forehead. He made her wear her princess school bag and got up.

Then Domenico came and said,"lil darling, you remember our training na. So whoever teases you and bully, just gives them a punch in their nose and if there is a boy then kick him at his no-no place."

To which the younger clan winced at this because they know how much it hurts there and elders gave him sharp eyes for telling her to fight on her first day. But he ignored everyone and kissed her forehead. Bella nodded her head at his words. He made her wear her princess watch and got up.

Killian and Marcello kneeled together in front of her. Killian said,"just take care of yourself and enjoy your day. Don't tease your teachers much and finish your lunch I specially made it myself and grandma also baked your favourite brownies, I placed it inside and share with new friends you will make." And kissed her forehead.

At the mention of brownies her lit up. She just looked at her grandma for confirmation, when her grandma nodded her head she just squealed.

Everyone chuckled at her reactions.

Killian gave her a lunch box on which Disney princess pictures were printed and was quite big for four year old child.

Now it was Marcello's turn, who first gave her a bear hug.

"partner, try to make a lot of friends but on the basis of their good nature and inside beauty not because of their skin color or how rich they are. Try to stay away from fake people means who pretend to be good in front of you but talk bad behind your back. When you made a lot friend, don't you dare to forget your one and only handsome partner,ok."

First he said with a lil seriousness and at the end playfully to lighten the conversation.

Everyone smiled at Marcello's thoughtfulness and they weren't shocked at his serious conversation because they know despite his playful demeanor he can be serious when he wants to.

After him, Ezekiel came forward hugged her. He didn't say anything but hugged her as if saying 'take care of yourself and don't be nervous. Everything will be alright.'

He just gave her a big coloring pencils box and whispered in her ear,"sugarplum, you will find remaining paint colors and brushes and canvases in your room, when you will reach after school."

Ezekiel was the only in their family who has a hobby of painting. After him, Bella showed interest in it so he used to teach her sketching and painting.

He hadn't bought them things of her own, now she was going to school he thought to buy for her.

Elijah being the loving brother, hugged her. Then kissed her cheeks and said, "buttercup, enjoy your day and try to be happy and not nervous. We will eat your fav ice cream after dinner ok."

Then, they both high-fived.

As they both had a habit of sneaking in kitchen at midnight for ice cream.

They thought nobody knows about their midnight adventures.

Everyone knew but they choose it ignore unless it didn't affect their health.

Next was Elias, who being the dramatic and prankster said,"cupcake, go and live your life and don't forget to tease everyone -to which everyone glared at him and him being himself give them sheepish smile- don't miss me a lot and enjoy your day. I will be waiting for you outside after school with your favorite cupcakes." After his rambling he sniffed a bit.

The ladies awed at him.

He may be the dramatic and prankster but he was also a bit sensitive in his family.

He was getting a bit emotional at the thought of Bella going to school on her own.

Her grandparents, uncles and aunt also kissed her forehead and told her. They will be waiting at home for her.

Her mother kissed her forehead lovingly and said,"Take care baby, try to make a lot of friends and enjoy your day."

Her father kneeled down in front of her, he kissed her forehead affectionately. Then he made her wear a butterfly pendant. It was simple yet beautiful, to go with her everyday looks.

Bella smiled looking at it and kissed her father's chin.

Francesco smiled at this and said,"like everyone said princess, be happy and enjoy your day. Make many friends and if you feel any danger just press the button in your bracelet which I gave you and stay with the guards uncle."(The bracelet he gave her in ch 13)

"I understand" Bella replied softly to him.

(Pendant given by Francesco)

Everyone also kissed Damon and Damien's forehead or temple.

They both were watching their family antics with amusement in their eyes because they have also received the same treatment on the first day of their school. Not only them but also their older brothers. It has now become tradition in their family to do such things on the first day.

Adonis after kissing Damon and Damien's forehead, said to them,"take care of yourself and your baby sister too. I know you both are in different grade but still take care of her and do your lunch together. Today's lunch is specially made by Killian and your grandma for your 1st day of new grade."

They both nodded like obedient kids to which their father gave them a smile that reached his eyes.

Everyone went inside their respective cars to go to their respective places except for Francesco, Adonis, Alessandro and Domenico who went with Bella, Damon and Damien.

First they dropped Damon and Damien outside their class. Then Bella to her class, after giving her encouraging smiles and kisses at the temple, they went to the principal's office to have a talk with him, more likely to threaten him.

They entered the principal's office without knocking. Principal who was inside, was about to shout at the person for entering his office without knocking, trembled in his chairs after seeing them.

He got up from his seat.

"Is ev..erythi..ng ok sir. Yyou sh..ould haaave call me, it wasn't nec..essary foor yyou to come." He stuttered

They all smirked at his fear and stuttering and sat on the chairs like they own the place.

In reality, they owned the place. They are the major shareholders of the school and nothing goes here without their permission.

They told him to sit as he was still standing. They knew that he is a good person. In his supervision the school has been doing good. He is doing his duty nicely and was not like the previous principal a gold digger who was, all time ready to kiss their as*es.That's why he has gained their respect. But still they can't risk their younger trio and come to threaten him.

"You know, my two brothers and now my sister has taken admission in the school. They shouldn't have a problem here and any harm should not reach them. If they face any problem here. I hope you know the consequences." Domenico said to him in his cold voice which sent shivers down to principal's spine.

Others said anything because alone Domenico warning was enough. But their body language, straight face and fierce eyes said everything which they didn't convey through their words.

After threatening and instructing the guards around the school to take care of Bella,Damon and Damien, they all went to their respective work places.
