Hi gullies

Let's make a few things clear, Deimos only had sons so he and his sons no one know how to treat a girl child so sometimes they will be a bit rough with her, but they wouldn't hurt her in anyway.

Next, they don't know the meaning of love, according to them obsession is love.

And lastly, don't I mean it everyone don't you dare to sexualize how they treat her. It's a dark verse series so their way can be a bit different from other books and reality but they only see her as their daughter and sister nothing stupid.

The only woman they met is their ex-girlfriends and maybe some hook ups so they don't know the way to treat a girl child.

It's like a dark verse of the family book.

Hope you understand

Love you gullies 🩷

The dim light of the orphanage was making Shivani's slightly tanned skin appear more beautiful than it ever did. Her amber eyes are exactly a replica of Deimos late wife and Deimos knew the moment his eyes met her that she is the one he was looking for all those years.

[A/N: Let's make it clear, she isn't biologically related to the Larson's]

Deimos stared at her as she did the same, most of the kids he my for adoption couldn't even make eye cont with him even for a second because of his expressionless stoic face but here she is, staring directly in his eyes.

Deimos tilted his head out of habit when he is focused on something, making her do the same unconsciously: "What's your name, Princess?"

Shivani blinked at him as she didn't averted her gaze from him until they heard a soft a knock on the door and all three of them looked at the door.

Miranda slowly peeked her head inside the room saying: "I'm sorry to disturb you Sir but Shivani is mute"

Zyran immediately looked back at Shivani who is too busy admiring Deimos to notice Zyran's presence in the room. Zyran is now having a little doubt of having a mute kid in their family, not that her being mute made her any less good than other kids but their world is something a kid can handle specially a mute girl who couldn't even call them for help.

Deimos lips twitched into a small smirk as he tested her name on his tongue: "Shivani"

Shivani blinked than nodded as Deimos chuckled lightly watching her small head moving slowly in nod. His eyes are catching every single move of her, even counting the times she blinked.

Deimos spoke to Zyran, his voice came out cold and calm with his son: "Get Shivani's things packed with her caretaker. We are taking her"

Zyran tried speaking: "Dad, can we have a minute in private?"

Deimos hand unconsciously reached to cup shivani's cheek as she didn't even flinched back from him: "It's already decided Zy. No more discussion"

Zyran opened his mouth to say something but stopped knowing his father's words are like a line on stone. Zyran nodded: "Yes Dad"

Zyran looked at her, as Shivani moved her eyes to face him when she felt his eyes staring at her. Deimos being the jealous bitch doesn't like his daughter's attention going to anywhere when he is right in front of her.

He gripped her chin and made her turn to him as he spoke: "Eyes on me only Princess"

A low shiver run down Shivani's body at his dark and commanding tone, the intensity in his tone was clear that he didn't want her eyes moving away from him.

Shivani turned her head to Deimos whose sharp features softens as his grip on her chin also loosened. Deimos hummed in appreciation as Zyran said walking: "I will finish off the paper work and inform others"

Deimos didn't even spare him a glance but nodded his head at him, a sign to give him privacy as he took a seat on the couch beside her and held her small hand in his much larger ones, his rough cladded hands from years of training and fights in his crime world holding her soft delicate and fragile tiny hands.

Deimos lips turned upside down in a small frown as he questioned: "Why are your hands so small?"

Shivani blinked confused as Deimos thumb unconsciously rubbed her small hands. Deimos sighed reminding himself that she is mute but he doesn't know why he felt like she isn't actually mute. Deimos said his voice gruff from the overwhelmed feeling of finding his little princess: "I'm Deimos, Deimos Larson"

Shivani nodded as Deimos watched how her hair is covering half of her face and specifically those beautiful amber eyes. It's irritating him in some, she has such a beautiful eyes to hide them behind her hair. Deimos hand instantly reached to gently tucked her hair behind her ear revealing her right side of the face to him.

Shivani didn't understand why she didn't even flinched at his touches because she isn't a fan of physical touches and here he is holding her hands tucking her hair behind her ear like he knows her for a long time. Deimos couldn't move his eyes away from her small form as he noticed that worn out fox stuff toy in her lap: "Is this your?"

Shivani looked down at the fox stuff toy in her hand then back up at him nodding her head. Deimos hummed saying: "It's not in a good condition. Leave it, i will get you more bigger than this one"

Shivani immediately shook her head in no, a little panicked look in her eyes as Deimos sighed: "You are keeping it that's okay. But nothing is stopping me from buying you more of them"

Shivani didn't reply to his words as Deimos parted his lips to say something but stopped when Zyran walked in: "Dad, Everything is done. You have to sign up a few papers than we are ready to go"

Deimos nodded as he cupped her face once again and spoke: "I will be back in a few minutes to get you with me"

Shivani stared at him as Zyran spoke: "I'm here with her, Dad"

Deimos didn't wanted to leave her even for a second but he had to sign a few papers to take his daughter with him so he reluctantly stood up, his thumb caresses her chubby cheek as he spoke: "Just a few minutes Princess than you will be mine"

His words are like a silent promise to her and the world that she is now his, His daughter , His obsession.

Deimos reluctantly stepped back from her personal space, his both hands moving away from her face, dropping to his sides as he walked backwards for a few steps than turned around and left immediately so he can finish the paper work and return to his daughter, his little princess soon.

Zyran stood there by the door staring at her as she kept her glued to the fox toy in her lap while her tiny fingers twisting and turning the ears of the toy. Zyran slowly made her way to the couch beside her a he spoke, slowly taking a seat on the couch keeping his eyes on her reaction, does not wanting to startle her: "Hi"

Shivani nodded still not looking at him as Zyran spoke: "I'm Zyran, Zyran Larson, Deimos second son"

The word second made her ears perked up as she looked at him with big amber eyes, as Zyran lips twitched into a satisfied smile to get a reaction of this expressionless doll. Zyran said with s smirk on his lips: "I'm going to be your elder brother, Doll"

Shivani rolled her bottom lip between her teeth as she felt a shiver run down her spine, she wanted to ask how many brothers does he have and how many members he have in his family but she instead she bite her bottom lip to hold back from speaking. Zyran hands reached up and tugged her bottom lip from between her teeth and rubbed his thumb over her lip to soothe her: "Don't do this, Doll. You will hurt yourself"

Shivani nodded slowly as Zyran unconsciously caressed her cheek as she stared up at him: "Are you mute since birth or?"

Before he can complete his sentence, she immediately shook her head in no to his question. Zyran spoke his voice rough with a little bit of venom in his tone: "Did something happened that made you?"

She cut him off again as she shrugged giving the answer of his question, she could tell from how vulnerable and innocence she look, not even being able of talk. Zyran jaw tightened at the thought of something hurting her, even it was in the past, he couldn't just shake off the anger bubbling inside him at the thought of someone hurting her.

Zyran pulled out of his thoughts when Deimos cleared his throat from the door, his arms crossed, as he was leaning against the doorframe with a smirk plastered on his face: "I can see you both getting along well, mhm?"

Zyran chuckled leaning back, pulling his hand away from her cheek, crossing them over his chest as his green eyes glued to Shivani. Shivani looked at Deimos who walked in and stood in front of her: "Let's get your home"

Shivani looked at him confused because she correctly remembered that whenever a family wants to adopt a child from here, it took them around a week to finish with all the paperwork and they can only that kid after a week or something. Deimos watched how her eyebrows furrowed together in confusion but before he could ask her anything. Miranda walked in with a small bag in the room: "Excuse me, Mr Larson"

Deimos and Zyran both turned towards Miranda who stood by the door as Shivani got up from the chair she was sitting on and made her way to Miranda who smiled at her saying to Deimos: "Can I have a moment with Shivani?"

Deimos said coldly: "No"

As Zyran spoke at the same time with a clenched jaw: "Sure"

Deimos glared at his son as Zyran spoke in Spanish so others wouldn't understand: "Dad, for Shivani"

Deimos clenched his jaw as he nodded at Miranda and they left the room. Miranda sighed in relief as she looked at Shivani then kneels in front of her: "Shivani, Are you okay with your new family?"

Shivani nodded her head as Miranda gives her a small slip: "Here, this is my number. If you ever have any trouble, just call on this number. I will always come for you"

Shivani nodded as she got the slip from Miranda's hand as Miranda said smiling: "I wish you happy life ahead"

Shivani didn't reply to her as she walked with Miranda outside the playroom where Deimos amd Zyran were waiting for her.

Deimos dark expression immediately softened, seeing Shivani walking out of the room without a single scratch as Deimos immediately walked to her and placed his hand on her head silently asking if she is okay.

Zyran walked to Miranda: "It's her bag?"

Miranda smiled: "Yes Mr Larson"

Zyran took the small bag from her Miranda as Deimos spoke: "Let's go"

Shivani nodded and walked beside Deimos as they reached outside where some bodyguards are surrounding the orphanage as one of them opened the door of the car for them.

Shivani immediately stepped back when the bodyguard opened the door, making him bump into Deimos legs who nodded at his guard making him step away from the door as he spoke: "Don't worry, Princess. He is our bodyguard"

Shivani glanced at the bodyguard as Deimos said in a cold tone: "Get in"

Deimos waited patiently as Shivani tried climbing in the car making Deimos smirked watching her struggle. Deimos rolled his eyes when she stopped and looked up at him, cranning her neck all the way up.

Deimos lifted her off the ground easily and placed her easily on the car seat saying: "scoot over"

Shivani looked at him then quickly crawled over to the other side of the seat but bumped into Zyran who was already sitting on the other end of the seat as she quickly moved back only to bump into Deimos making her flinched as she sit in the middle of the seat looking between them.

Deimos chuckled: "Don't worry princess"

Shivani looked a bit startled to be sitting between two huge men keeping eyes on her eyes moment, watching her like a hawk.

She gulped and held her fox toy in her lap looking down as Zyran grabbed her chin and made her look at him in the eyes saying: "Rule 1. always look in the eyes"

Deimos leaned back in his seat as Zyran smirked at her: "Don't look away from Kieran because he can be a handful when angry"

Shivani stared at him as Deimos chuckled: "Don't worry Princess. Zyran is just messing around with you. Kieran and Kaisar both would love you"

Shivani looks at her fox toy as a thought running in her head: "They can't find about my past"
