He buys her two white Lily's and then pays for the flowers. They went back to their car and sped off to the road. They drove for like 30 minutes when they reach a graveyard. Liliana remembers that place properly because when her mother died her father and other people buried her body in the graveyard. It's not the same one but she can't forget all the headstones and everything.

Liliana frowned then said pouting: "why here?"

He said gently: "you don't need to be scared Lily. I just want you to meet someone"

Liliana nodded and he hopped off the car. He came towards her and helped her out of the car. Liliana holds his hand tightly in her tiny fists don't want to lose Giovanni like her. Giovanni gently pats her hair and they went towards a grave.

The waiter smiled at the cute nickname then said smiling: "your daughter is so cute and polite sir"

Giovanni said smirking: "she is my sister"

The waiter said with an awkward smile: "Oh I'm sorry sir, I don't know"

Giovanni said simply: "it's fine"

The waiter left and Liliana is happily eating her fries. She just eats a few fries and starts dozing off to sleep. Giovanni pulled her in his lap and let her sleep. They went to his office and he lay Liliana is his office couch while going to attend the meeting.

Liliana woke up from her sleep and look around pouting. She rub her eyes then said pouting: "Gio"

She get up and pout with tears when she didn't see him around. She walks towards the door and tries to open it when the guard from outside open the door. He looks down at the little girl pout with teary eyes making him go all soft. He asked gently caressing her cheek: "what happened, dear?"

Liliana said pouting: "Gio no see"

Liliana said giggling rushing to Giovanni: "Gio"

Giovanni is in a meeting talking to his employees while keeping an eye on his office at Liliana. He saw Liliana wake up and look around to find him. He is going to go and get her but his blood started to boil when he saw the guard outside his office is caressing her cheeks. His eyes turn dark and his hands turn into fists.

Giovanni glare at the guard who is looking down and hug Liliana close to himself. He said blankly: "leave"

The guard left the office and Giovanni said blankly to the employee: "speak"

He is hugging Liliana who is playing with his jacket. Meeting ended in an hour and everyone left the office. Giovanni pull her away from his chest and made her look at him. He said blankly starting in her eyes: "you wouldn't let anyone touch you okay"

Liliana said pouting: "okay Gio"

He said caressing her cheek: "good girl"

Liliana smiled at him with big eyes making him smile back at her cute face. Giovanni said simply: "you must be hungry. You didn't eat properly"

Liliana nods her head snuggling into his chest making him chuckle. He picked her up in his arms then went towards his office. He gives his death glare to the poor guard who shakes in fear then walk inside the office. He already ordered food for her so they sat down on his big leather chair with Liliana on his lap. He is typing on his laptop while Liliana is drawing on a paper that Giovanni gives her.

After some time, food arrived and Giovanni feed her and they went back home. Liliana hopped off the car and rush inside the house happily. She said rushing towards Adrian: "Oh kind mister papa, Li miss you so much"

Adrian came with her clothes and tried to make her wear clothes with a little difficulty because she keep running around in the bed. Adrian said simply: "princess come here"

Liliana said giggling: "I wanna play kind mister papa"

Adrian sighed then said simply: "papa need to get ready and leave for the meeting"

Liliana said giggling: "I love that"

Adrian smiled at her cute face then make her wear the pants. She wears her sleepers then rushed outside waving Adrian bye. Adrian went to the washroom to freshen up.

On the other hand, Liliana went to Giovanni's room and pouted when she saw them already woke up scrolling through his phone. She said pouting: "good morning"

He said smirking: "you came to wake me up, right"

Liliana said pouting: "meany"

Armani shook his head at her sassy and cute reply then went downstairs. She went to Sergio's room. He wakes up when his room door opens but he gets to know with the soft footsteps that it's none other than his Petal. He smirk while thinking about scaring her when she came closer.

Liliana trying not to giggle and climb on the bed with a little difficulty because of her short height. She jump on Sergio but Sergio said: "boo"

She flinches and hides her face in her tiny hands. Sergio chuckles but it's changed into a frown when he hears her sniffing. Sergio get up and said gently trying to look at her face: "petal, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry"

Liliana giggled and Sergio sighed in relief. He said playfully tickling her stomach pulling her in his lap: "you naughty little monkey"

Liliana start laughing loudly and Sergio stopped after a few minutes. He said pecking her cheek: "good morning petal"

She said giggling: "morning beard man"

Sergio said with a chuckle: "go wake Domenico, I'm going to freshen up"

Liliana said giggling: "okay li woke Dami monster"

Sergio pats her head and she rushed towards Domenico's room who is sleeping peacefully unaware of the little naughty kitten coming to wake him up. Liliana entered his room and saw him sleeping on his stomach holding a pillow to himself.

She giggle and went toward him. She picks the glass from the nightstand and pours the water on Domenico making him get up quickly. He groaned: "what the heck?"

He wipe his face and saw Ophelia laughing at him. He said getting up: "that little brat"

She quickly rushes outside in the hallway and starts yelling: "save me. Help me. Papa, Gio, help. Li danger, Li danger"

Everyone came out of their rooms in panic while thinking about all the stupid thoughts. Well, Sergio teaches her to tell danger when she gets into my trouble. Now she just starts yelling danger at every little thing. They all saw Domenico rushing behind her and sighed that she is not in real danger.

She rushed towards the stairs and her foot slipped. Her eyes widened and everyone ran towards her but Domenico hold her in his arms close to his chest and slipped his foot. He try to regain his balance but he couldn't and fell from the few steps. He is holding Liliana tightly in his arms protecting her from any hit.

Liliana is clinging to him while little sobs escape her mouth and everyone rushed towards them. Tyler also came inside rushing when he hears sounds from inside. Domenico groaned in pain and quickly check Liliana. He asked holding her face in his hands: "are you, fine darling?"

She keeps on sobbing not saying anything and Adrian quickly gets her in his arms and start looking for any injury but didn't see anything. Adrian said looking at Domenico: "Are you fine?"

Domenico nods his head then said holding his elbow which is bleeding: "is she fine? She didn't get hurt right?"

Adrian said simply: "she didn't have any injury, I guess, she just get scared"

Domenico nodded and went to get up but groaned in pain and Giovanni quickly hold him. Domenico said blankly: "I guess sprained in the ankle"

Giovanni and Sergio helped him back to the room while Liliana is cling to her father crying softly. Armani said blankly: "I called the doctor"

They nod and Sergio came with a first-aid kit and Armani get it from his hand. He starts cleaning Domenico's elbow and his forehead which had a little cut. Adriano said gently: "princess, calm down everything is fine"

Domenico said blankly: "give her here"

Adrian looked at her then pull her away from him and Domenico hold her in his arms and said gently caressing her cheek: "is anything hurting darling?"

She pouted and mumble: "you hurt"

He said with a chuckle: "see I'm fine right"

She slowly touches his forehead with little plaster and mumble: "hurt"

He said smiling: "I'm fine darling"

She nod and snuggle into his chest and said: "thank you"

He asked stroking her hair with his right hand while Armani is bandaging his left elbow: "for what?"

She said looking up at him with a gentle smile: "for saving me"

He pecked her forehead and nose then said gently: "I will die happily to protect you"

She said frowning: "no die please"

He said chuckling: "you know die means"

She said shaking her head in no: "no but I know, die no come back"

He said simply: "we will never leave you"

She said smiling: "Okie"

Domenico hold her close to his chest when Doctor came inside. He asked simply: "what happened?"

Armani dais blankly: "he fall from the stairs and sprained his ankle"

The doctor nodded and sat down on the chair that Amani put next to his bed. He touched Domenico's foot making him hissed in pain and Liliana look at him with teary eyes. Domenico said blankly: "Dad hold her"

Adrian get her from Domenico's arms making her frown then Domenico growled at the doctor: "what the fuck are you doing?"

The Doctor flinch and Giovanni said simply: "calm down, he is just checking your foot"

Domenico rolled his eyes and the doctor inspects his foot then wrapped a bandage on it and said simply: "it's fine, he will be fine in a few days but he needs to be careful and not put pressure on his foot and walk around until he is fine"

Giovanni said blankly: "thanks doc"

The doctor said simply: "it's my duty"

Adrian asked looking at Liliana: "you're not hurt anywhere right princess"

She said simply: "no kind mister papa"

Tyler said gently looking at her: "Thank God, she is fine"

They nod and Tyler walked the doctor out of the house. Liliana asked Domenico: "is it hurting so much?"

He said smiling: "no darling"

She said pouting: "you hurt cause of me"

He said simply: "I get hurt because I want to protect my darling, my little sister. I will be a time in a few days"

She pouted and Giovanni said looking at her sternly: "Lily, you wouldn't run and the stairs. You can get seriously hurt if Domenico didn't cover you"

Liliana pouted and Domenico said simply: "c'mon she is just a baby"

Giovanni shake his head and Adrian said simply: "Giovanni is right. We should tell her about right and wrong"

Liliana said outing with tears: "no angry, please. Li know wanna make angry"

Giovanni said but this time gently: "we're not angry Like but what if you fall down the stairs and get hurt"

She said pouting: "I no do it again. Sorry"

Adrian said gently: "it Princess but please be careful and don't run on stairs or near the stairs"

Liliana said simply: "okay papa"

Adrian pecked her forehead then simply to Domenico: "take rest properly, don't you dare to pressure your foot"

Domenico rolled his eyes then said simply: "yeah I know that, how I'm gonna bath and all this?"

Liliana said quickly smiling: "I bath you like you do me"

Domenico rolled his eyes then said blankly: "no, I will do it myself"

Liliana pout then mumble: "Dami no love me"

Domenico rolled his eyes and felt bad for her sad face then said blankly: "fine you can help me to wash my hair"

Liliana said happily: "let's help you"

Armani helped Domenico to the bathroom and everyone left the room except Liliana. Armani also left after leaving Domenico in the bathroom. Liliana said kicking on the door: "I come Dami"

He said blankly: "no, I'm reading clothes. Don't come until I said so"

She said giggling: "ahh please, I wanna see you naky naky"

Domenico stripped off his clothes and said simply: "you know it's bad manners"

She said pouting crossing her arms: "but you also see me naky naky"

Domenico said rolling his eyes: "these are two different things"

She said simply: "how?"

He said simply: "I will explain some other time"

She said frowning: "can I come now?"

Domenico sat inside the bathtub then said blankly: "fine, now you can come inside"

She quickly rushed inside then said pouting: "you're not naky naky"

He said with a chuckle: "now help me to wash my hair"

She smiled happily and hopped on the little stool and pour some shampoo on his hair then pour a little amount of water into the plastic bowl that is placed on the side. She starts rubbing the shampoo on his scalp gently while humming a soft song. He smiled at the small hands gently massaging his scalp, so soft and gentle.

After that, she starts having different shapes of his hair while giggling happily. She said smiling: "tower, crown"

Domenico said simply: "now go out. I need to bath"

she said giving him puppy eyes: "please let me bath you na"

He said rolling his eyes: "go pick an outfit for me"

She said happily: "Li will do"
