Ariana's POV:
We went to Romano mansion. It was magnificent that it was hard to describe.
"Ariana welcome home, princess. We are so happy to have found you." Father said.
When we went into the mansion all of the bodyguards and workers lined up and welcomed us.
"Welcome sirs. Welcome young miss." I was astounded by their greetings.
I was looking jaw slacked. Father was looking satisfied with their behaviour. How many workers are here? *Shakes head*
This is beyond my imagination. Rich people. Sigh!
"Princess let's go in. I will give you a tour." Rafael said.
He took me and gave me a tour. Well it was grand and magnificent. I think I need a map to navigate in this place. I will not be getting familiar with it anytime soon.
We went to the rooms of the siblings. They were in the order of the age like eldest to youngest in a row. They were in the 3rd wing.
Then my father's room was in the 4th wing. The guest rooms were in the 2nd wing.
The gaming and theatre rooms were in the 1st wing.
There was a swimming pool, gardens, golf course and a basement.
Then we came to my room finally and I was stunned and speechless.
Wow. It's so beautiful, like a dream room anyone can want. It was amazing and so beautiful.
"Wow fratello. Who designed this room? This is so beautiful."
"We all designed it together. We imagined that you would like it. I am glad that you find it beautiful. All of them will be." He said grinning. I smiled at him.
We went downstairs to the living room and saw that everyone was there sitting and chatting. We all were feeling sleepy now.
"Ok everyone. Let's go and I will show you your rooms. It's late so let's go to sleep. We will complete everything tomorrow. Okay?" Alfonso said.
Everyone nodded. We went to our rooms to sleep.
"Princess, if you need anything just check your room. All of the things are in there. There is a closet next to the bathroom. Check it out. There is a surprise for you." Alfonso said, giving me a cheeky smile. I nodded and gave him a smile.
I went into my room. Then went to the bathroom and saw that it was laced with everything, the shampoos, shower gel, body wash and everything for women. It was a very famous brand.
Then I went to the closet and it was filled with clothes, purses and jewelleries. There were footwear also. And they were all in my size. I was astonished to see that they have gotten my size accurately.
I checked and saw that there were night suits also. I took out a set and changed into it. I then went to my bed and it was so soft that I sank into it upon lying down. I immediately fell asleep.
********
I woke up to someone knocking on the door. "Ari, wake up. It's 10 o'clock." I got up and realised that Leonardo was calling me.
"I am up." I went to the door and opened it. "Buongiorno fratello."
"Buongiorno principessa." He greeted me with a smile.
(buongiorno fratello: good morning brother. buongiorno principessa: good morning princess.)
"Get freshed and then come downstairs. We are waiting for you to have breakfast."
"I am sorry. I slept till late. I will be there in 15 minutes tops."
"It's ok. We all woke up late. Take your time. I will be going now." I nodded and he went downstairs.
I went to the bathroom and did everything. I got ready and wore the clothes from the closet. It really was amazing. I have to thank them for this.
I went downstairs and started searching for them. This place is like a maize. It is very difficult to go anywhere without someone. I stopped a maid and asked her about where they are. She took me to the dining room.
I saw that everyone was waiting for me and the breakfast was ready.
"Good morning everyone. I am so sorry that you had to wait for me." Everyone looked at me and greeted me back.
"Good morning princess."
"Good morning Ari." "Good morning Ariana." "Good morning twinnie."
"It's not a problem. We also just came here. Sit down and let's have breakfast." Father said. I nodded and sat down.
"Father, brothers, thank you so much for the room. It is so beautiful. I love it very much. Leonardo told me that you all designed it. I am very glad." I told them beaming with happiness.
They all smiled. We started having breakfast. There were so many things.
These dishes looked so delicious. We started eating while chatting. Dad and mom were saying that they have to complete the formalities for the house.
After completing the breakfast we went with Antonio to complete the formalities of the house. After signing the documents we went to our new home.
It was near Romano mansion. Just a 15 minute drive. We arrived at the house. It was like a house of the middle class family. I was comfortable in it. As we have lived our life in the house like this. It will take some time getting used to the huge mansion.
We went in the house and walked around and saw that it is exactly the same as in the picture.
It was very cozy. The house has everything of necessity in it. We don't have to buy anything. I went to my room. It was beautiful.
Both the rooms, here and there, have their elegance in them. I went in to see that the bathroom has a bathtub also.
I went upstairs to see that mom and dad are also looking through their room. My room was downstairs and their room along with the guest room were upstairs.
"Mom, dad, how did you like it?"
"It's beautiful. Just like in the pictures. I am very satisfied with it, Antonio." Mom said to him.
"I am glad that you guys like it. Princess, what about your room?" "I love it. It's so beautiful."
"I am glad you like it. So your things have all been delivered here and unpacked. You noticed that, right?"
"Yes. We don't have to do anything and we will be getting 10 days' free time as we will be starting our jobs after that. I am going to enjoy these days." Mom said excitedly.
They don't get much vacation so it is nice that they will be getting some time to adjust and relax. I am very happy for them.
After looking through the house we went to Romano mansion. We arrived at lunch time and everyone was going to eat so we sat down and ate lunch together.
"Did you get everything done?" Father asked.
"Yes, everything's done. We signed the contract. Our things have been unpacked and we don't need anything right now as there is already everything available." Dad replied.
"Dad, why don't we have a movie night tonight? Twinnie is with us now. We have finally found her. So why don't we spend some time together today as this is her first day here." Matteo said.
"Second day." I said. "Nope, first. Because we arrived at 2 a.m. today. So technically it is your first day." He replied cheekily.
"Ok, ok. You are right. Let's have a movie night. Mr. and Mrs. Parker, why don't you join us also?" Rafael asked.
"No, no. You guys have fun. We will be heading home. We have some work to do and you guys should get to know each other. Spend some time together. Get to know each other. Create a bond that no one can break. You guys need it more than anything." Mom said.

Third Person's POV:
Everyone was looking like they couldn't be any more happy. They have wanted it more than anything. The bond of siblings. They have that within the brothers but what about their sister which they haven't found till now.
Now that they have found her they don't want anything more than to spend time with her, get to know her better than anyone, create a bond with her that no-one can break. They want it all.
After lunch the Parkers went to their home and Ariana stayed behind. She went to her room and fell asleep. She was really tired. The brothers started their work. They wanted to finish it before movie night.
After completing their own work they all arrived at the door of their princess' room. "What are you doing here?" Alfonso asked Benjamin.
"I was passing by and saw that you all were standing here so I came." He replied.
All of the brothers shook their heads and Matteo scoffed. "Keep lying. But we know better." He mumbled.
"What did you say?" Benjamin asked. "Nothing at all." Matteo looked at him with innocent eyes.
Matteo knocked on it. "Twinnie are you up?"
They didn't hear anything behind the door so Antonio twisted the knob and pushed open the door. They went in to see that Ariana was sleeping sprawled out. They looked at her trying to make her hands and legs.
She was sleeping in a weird position. Matteo immediately snapped a picture to tease her later. Benjamin snickered. Rafael smacked his head and then Benjamin glared at him. Antonio raised his eyebrows at him and then Benjamin lowered his head.
He respects his brother very much. Antonio went to wake Ariana up.
He shook her, "Ariana, princess, wake up." She mumbled something and then went to sleep again. He was dumbfounded.
It was his first time dealing with something like this. While they were pondering on what to do Gabriel came there looking for his princess. He saw this when he came in. His sons who were capable of killing and everything that no one can do were looking like they didn't know what to do with their sister.
He chuckled at this. When they heard their father laughing at them they were indignant. "Why are you laughing?" Benjamin asked.
Gabriel shook his head and said, "you guys. What are you doing?" "We are trying to wake her up. She isn't waking up." Matteo said, looking as if this was a very serious task.
"Wait. I will show you how to wake someone up." He was a little sad that they don't know this but he can't blame them for it.
They didn't have a mother or a sister till now. Now that they have found her he is sure that they will adapt to it slowly.
He went to sit beside her and started stroking her head.
"Ariana princess, wake up. Look, it's time to wake up. We are going to have a movie night tonight. You remember that right? Now wake up princess."
Ariana slowly opened her eyes and saw that her father and brothers were there looking at her and smiling.
"Hello. What are you guys doing here?" Her brothers were looking at their father astonished at how quickly he woke her up.
"We were here to wake you up. It's time for dinner. Let's go." Matteo said.
"Princess freshen up. We will wait for you downstairs." Gabriel said and Ariana nodded. Ariana went into the bathroom to freshen up.
Her brothers and father went downstairs together. "Dad, how did you do it?" Leonardo asked.
"I learnt it from your mother. When you were small you also didn't want to wake up easily and that's how your mother used to wake you up." He said lost in those sweet memories.
The brothers were feeling both sad and happy as they didn't spend much time with their mother but also happy that they will get to experience it with their sister. They were looking forward to it.
Ariana came down to have dinner. "Father, can you wake me up like this always. I didn't feel annoyed like I always do when I wake up to the alarm."
"Of course princess. I would love to. But princess, I have a request."
"You don't have to make a request, father. Just order it."
"Can you stop calling me formally? Please call me something else."
Ariana fell silent thinking about this. He was right. This address is really formal. She calls her adoptive father dad so what should she call her biological father.
"How about papa? Can I call you papa?"
Gabriel beamed and nodded at her. "Okay. I like it, princess. Then you should call me papa from now on."
"Okay papa." Ariana said and Gabriel gave a bright smile. Everyone was stunned to see his smile. The workers got frightened to see him smiling so bright for the first time. They admired their young miss very much. She has such a magic to her. Now this mansion feels like home.
It was true that a woman makes a house a home. Men only make it house but women make it home.
