Chapter 41.
Talia's pov.
"Do you want me to eat the rest of your appetizer?" Declan whispered into my ear and I looked at him with a grateful smile and nodded.
He quickly switched our plates and ate the rest of my food.
"I can't wait till I see you eat a full meal soon sweetie" Linda looked at me with a sad smile I just smiled back.
"Well she eats more than she did when we first meet her!" Jacob said looking at me with a proud smile and I gave him a sheepish smile back.
"Now she can eat upto half a sandwich at school, when we meet it were what 5 tiny bites and she were full so I would say that is some big improvements there!" Kayden looked at me with so much affection in his eyes which just made me smile brighter.
Then Miranda and her helpers came out with the main course and that were roast chicken with roasted vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes.
Again I just ate a little of the food and this time Theo who sat next to Declan wanted my left overs.
The conversation around the table went on and everyone were having a great time.
Then it were time for the dessert lemon mousse and it were super tasty. And I gave Kayden my leftovers.
"So Talia, have you gone to buy a dress for the mafia ball next saturday?" Linda asked and it where a few people spitting out their drinks, a few chocking on their food or drinks or drop who dropped their utensils around the table.
I just looked up at Linda and gave her a smile and shook my head, she also picked up at the fact that my family have not personally told me they are in the mafia.
Everyone around the table except for Kayden, Linda and Jacob looked at me with worry looks. I looked over at Alan who had my notebook and he carefully walked over with it.
'Maybe me and you can go dress shopping tomorrow?'
I turned it around and looked at her with hopeful smile on my face.
"Yes of course honey! I would love to!" She said excitedly and I smiled even brighter, I love spending time with Linda.
"So you know we are in the mafia?" Dante asked shocked and I just nodded my head with a smile.
"How?" dad asked shocked.
'Well you guys talk mafia business all the time in italian, at the same time, the day Leon came to the hospital, Jacob told me that they had alliance with The Bianchi the Italian and American mafia, The Volkov the Russian mafia and Remirez the Mexican mafia. So if I ever ended up in trouble with one of them I should drop his name and he would do everything he could to keep me safe'
I showed them what I wrote and shrugged my shoulder. They all just look at me shocked.
"So everything we have said in italian you have understood it?" papa asked shocked and I just smiled and nodded. "I didn't know you knew italian!" nona said shocked and I just smiled.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Leon asked just as shocked.
'What should I say? I don't talk and you guys didn't ask me any direct questions so nothing I should answer'
"Sei davvero una bambina fantastica" Nico said looking at me amused which made me chuckle and everyone looked at me with bright smiles and Kayden just lifted me up on his lap and hugged me tightly.
(Sei davvero una bambina fantastica - You are truly amazing baby)
"You have such a cute chuckle honey" he whispered into my ear hugging me.
I just got comfortable on his lap and kept sitting there and I saw Linda and Jacob had amused smiles on their faces.
"What other languages do you know?" Uncle Mason asked curiously which made everyone look at me in anticipation.
'Italian, Spanish, Russian, German, Japanese and Chinese'
"What the.. How?" Lucian asked shocked and everyone else looked shocked as well as Kayden, Linda and Jacob.
'I had a friend who taught me a lot, but four years ago he and his wife moved away due to a new job, that were also the last time I talked'
"So you have not talked for 4 years but bottom line you can talk?" Cole asked shocked I looked at him with a raised eyebrow and nodded slowly.
I saw he and Zach shared a look.
"Okay" Zach said and they both stood up. "We will do something about that now!" Cole said then roughly pulled me out of Kayden's lap.
Everyone in the dining room quickly stood up and started to shout for Cole and Zach to stop. But they ran outside to the pool.
Then they tossed me in the pool, and when I had gotten up I were soaking wet.
And don't forget I have a white dress on so all my scars were visible through the clothes.
I got out of the pool and I still had not said anything or made a noise.
Zach and Cole walked up to me "SHOUT, YELL, SAY SOMETHING" Cole yelled in my face.
I just bent down to take off my heels, because I don't want to kill my brothers but they will get to feel what crossing me feels like and I'm beyond pissed.
I looked over to my guards and smirked and it was like they understood what were about to go down, they stood around so no one could interfere right now.
I took off my earrings and other jewelry I had on so now I were just there in my soaking wet white dress and I'm just happy I had black lingerie on and not white.
I quickly punched Cole straight in the face. He stumbled back a little then I looked at Zach he looked at me shocked for punching Cole.
I then kicked him on his thigh and I'm sure I sprained his femur. Then Cole walked up to me and I kicked him out into the pool by giving him a hard kick to the stomach and he few into the pool.
I then looked at Zach who were kneeling down on one knee and I gave him a kick to his face and he flew backward and fell down into the pool as well.
Then Kayden walked up to me putting his dress jacket over my shoulder.
"Come we need to get you out of your wet dress Lia" he said carefully and I just nodded, took a hold of his hand and walked inside and he follow me up to my room.
Alan, Ken, Charlie and Jack were standing guards outside.
Kayden looked around my room and I put his jacket on my bed and struggled to get out of the dress.
Kayden noticed so he walked up behind me putting my hands in his for a little then he started to unbutton the back of my dress.
