"If all I have in my life is a sister who loves me, I consider myself rich."

Finn was curious to meet his sister would be an understatement. She is the only person in this world who deserves Finn's soft side. She is his world. Finn is going to spoil her rotten. He is planning on making up to her for leaving her alone for 20yrs.
They all were eagerly waiting for her at dinner. Matteo bought her to the living room. She was the most beautiful girl Finn had ever seen. She was dressed gracefully in a pale dress it was a conservative and mature dress. She differs from other 25yrs girls, other dress slutty or seductively. She carried herself with grace.
Ace surprised her with a hug she looked tense. Finn didn't realize that he was gawking at her she looked right into his eyes. She was not at all intimated by any of us. The confidence Athena carried stunned Finn. But she is his sister so she doesn't need to be intimated by any of them. Finn would kill his brother if they made Athena uncomfortable.
His sister's beauty hypnotized Finn, she looked ethereal.
For him, she was an angel sent to help him become more humane. He was going to do anything for her. He swore to keep her safe from all his enemies, even if it means burning half of the city down.
Finn had read her background info and, he must say her academic achievements impress him. But something seemed off about the information. He couldn't sense it yet but, something seems fishy. When she was eating, she had proper structure, poise. It shows that she knows etiquette and respect. Her hands hold silverware delicately, she was not a messy eater, she was a doctor by hands. But Finn could see faint scars on her knuckles. Look like she also has Florentino's angry blood in her. Finn chuckled at the thought. She must look like an adorable little kitten angry. (A/N yeah right 😏)
When Finn spoke to her, his brothers looked shocked, even she noticed it. He means he doesn't care about anyone except her. He is fucking rude to everyone but her. Finn was going to make sure they shower Athena with affection. People may not always tell you how they feel about you, but they will always show you. Pay attention. That was all he was doing, paying attention to his sister, his angel.
Her answers were formal, she doesn't show emotions. Her expressions were thoughtful. She was not faking it but they were more like emotions a doctor would show to their patients.
Finn was sad that she didn't want us to use nicknames, but it's pretty understandable.
When Finn entered her apartment, he can say it's cozy and warm. It's not too big or too small. The place was clean and organized. Perhaps she is more stay in person. She had a lot of plants; she seems health-conscious too. He knows as she is a doctor after all.
The waffles she made were finger-licking good. She might be a better cook than Matt. Hey, don't tell that to Matt, even though he might be the least violent brother among all. He will kill someone who comments badly on his cooking. She didn't have many photos of her and her friends in the house displayed. It shows she is a more reserved and private person. Maybe she is an introvert or ambivert. She is protective of her books she is a nerd too.
Yup, Finn could make these several observations on her based on her studio only. When we arrived home, she thanked Ace and Finn and asked them not to wake her up for dinner as she is exhausted.
All the brothers were lucky to have Athena back. She was their light- after all. They were planning on keeping the Mafia secret from her to protect her from unwanted enemies. They assigned two guards to- secretly follow her and to keep her safe. They wanted to ask her a million questions about her life but didn't want to bombard her.
Ace being the curious one, started hacking into her records for more knowledge; he was like a lost puppy for her. Finn was just happy having her; he finally had his angel. Matt was excited as a Mom, planning shopping trips, movie dates, and spa days with Athena. Vincent, on the other hand, was like a proud dad. He was thinking of arranging Athena, involved in the business. It was the first night all the brothers slept content. They finally have their family complete. They ultimately had their sister home.
Matt woke up early and went to his pumpkin's room (Athena) to wake her up. To his surprise, she was already up and working on her laptop. Matt called her down for breakfast. She just nodded in agreement. He figured she doesn't speak much.
They went down and settled. Vince talked first, "When are you leaving for the hospital, Athena?" He is testing her brothers already knew she is quitting. "I am resigning." she politely informed them while eating pancakes.
"Why?" Finn asked. "I wanted to live my life I, want to work on my art, but working at Hale (her hospital), I had little time. So maybe I will work at some clinic part-time. It's still not fixed on what I want to do next." "You do art?" Ace eagerly asked. She nodded. "Wouldn't you earn more at Hale than at a clinic?" Vince professionally stated.
"I don't care about money; I have my savings, I can live a moderately healthy life on my own. Art is my passion, so I want to focus on it. But I don't want to get apart from medical origins, but the clinic is the best option. Satisfies all my needs." she stated diplomatically.
She was mature for her age. She was determined. But, she is still tender. Athena should enjoy herself. She seems to be too hard on herself, brothers thought. Ena didn't need to work. Her brothers would spoil her rotten for her entire life if she asked. But they were proud their sister was such a self-sufficient woman.
After breakfast, Vince and Matt went to the headquarters of their business. Ace was at home, working on a new program and doing some virtual meetings. Finn went to torture some rats. They found someone was who was following their sister the night she first visited the Mansion. How dare he even breathe to harm her.

"Who the fuck do you work for bitch," Finn sneered. "I-I was ordered by Salim to track that-t woman. He thought she is one of your whores. He wanted to take her, to blackmail y-you," the soon-to-be-dead man moaned in pain. He signed his death note when he called Athena a whore. "You motherfucker, who did you call a whore," Finn shouted as he slammed his jaw with a metal bar. He could hear his jaw break.
His screams filled the cell.
It did not satisfy Finn with this. He moved and took one of his beloved axes. "These were the hands you used to click her photos, right?" The man was scared at the sight of the ax. Before he got to reply, Finn chopped his right hand off. Finn then moved from an ax to a curved dagger. "You watched her with these filthy eyes of yours, didn't you?"
The poor man was already losing his consciousness due to blood loss. Finn just gauged his eyes out. He placed the dagger with care on the table. He left the cell asking men to clean the bloody mess. The men had never seen their boss this mad. They didn't know who that woman was but, she was bloody hell important.
Finn left to inform others about the rat.
God have mercy on the person who looks at her the wrong way cause their boss won't.

Athena was busy completing her admin work. Vince and Matt were discussing whether we should tell her about the Mafia business. They required a Mafia doctor. She wouldn't have much work at the warehouse; hence she could focus on her art too. It was a perfect job for her. Plus, they could protect her without lying. Vince being protective brother- was thinking of ways to keep her as near and as well protected as he could. Fuck, he would even assign an entire army to defend her.
A week later,
It's been a week since Athena has been living with them. She has changed the complete house. Vince- who was a workaholic, has been coming home beforehand to spend time with her. Matt was baking more than general. Finn has finally grown soft. Only to her. Ace, who loves sleep, was awake till 3 AM waiting- for Athena after her last surgery.
She had brought so many positive changes to them. She had made Florentino Mansion home.
She has finally resigned and is free now. Today they are going to tell her about the Mafia Business.
They all are seated in Vince's Office room. She looked calm. They all were fucking nervous Matt was the most nervous of them. He started thinking. Like, what if she hates us like they kill people. What if she wants to leave us? What if she gets scared? What if - FUCK Matt blocked all of his thoughts.
Vince took a deep breath and started speaking, "Athena, they have famously known us as Florentino Brothers for our multiple business ventures, but as a coin has two sides. We have a good and bad side; we are in the dark business too. We are Mafia. We want to tell you the truth; we don't want to keep you in dark. Though we are Mafia, we love you, and you mean the world to us. We would never hurt you or let anyone hurt you."
"We are sorry we kept it from you sister," Ace nervously chuckled. It terrified Matt to speak. Athena was simply looking at them. Finn was observing her for a reaction. But she just had a resting bitch face. But the next words she spoke shocked all of them.
"I knew."
