"Good morning, dukke (doll)" I walked over to my mamma and kissed her on the cheek.

"Good morning, mamma. Where is everyone?" I took a seat across from her and waited for my food to be served. One of our maids placed down my breakfast in front of me and filled up my glass with orange juice.

"Your father is up in his study talking to Aksel and Oskar, and Sebastian is the one cooking in the kitchen, while Nikolai and Magnus are still asleep. Which reminds me.." She turned around and called for Melanie, the head of the household staff,

"Can you send someone to wakeup Nikolai and Magnus for breakfast and call down Mikkel, Aksel, and Oskar to eat?" Melanie smiled at mamma and nodded, "Is there anything else you need, Miss Annika?" she asked

"No that will be all, thank you." My mamma smiled at her

Melanie turned to one of the maids in the room and told them what to do then turned to me, "Nellie, there's a package waiting for you in the living room"

I nodded then thanked her. "What did you buy now, dukke (doll)?" my mamma looked at me suspiciously

"I honestly have no idea." I grinned at her. She smiled a bit and shook her head then she turned to look at the entrance to the dining hall, "Good morning, boys." my brothers walked up to our mom then kissed her on the cheek while greeting her a good morning.

I have 5 older brothers, yes 5 older brothers.

The eldest is Aksel Sander, the heir to my father's empire, the right-hand man of my father. He is 27 years old and still isn't married, despite my mamma's nagging of giving her grandbabies.

The second is Oskar Elias, the third in command and soon to be the right-hand man of our eldest brother. He is 25 and is currently seeing someone but knowing him, she'll be gone by next week.

The third brother on our list is Sebastian Isak, he is the chef in our family, just like our dad. He likes to stay out of the family business but helps out at times when needed. He's currently studying to become a doctor. He's currently 21 years old

The fourth brother is Nikolai Julian, he is the more active of the two when it comes to daily business. He is expected to take over one of pappa's companies. Unlike his twin brother, Sebastian, he cannot cook or boil anything without burning our house down. He is also 21 and is currently studying business management.

The last brother and the one I'm closest to is Magnus Isak, He's 20 years old and is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. He's also very outgoing and is dating a girl just like him. They have been dating for over 2 years now. He's very overprotective when it comes to family.

But how can we forget about the two people who started this crazy family?

My father is Mikkel Theodor, he's the head of our family and the mafia, Agnor Crime Family. His father passed down his empire to him considering he was an only child. His grandfather started all this after he migrated from Norway to New York, thus the Norwegian accent my father has. He is tuff and strong and would risk everything for us, especially for our mom.

My mother is Annika Lelyah, only a few people know her as Annika since she mostly introduces herself as Lelyah Agnor. She is the feistiest woman you'll ever meet, which is funny considering she's only 5 feet tall. She is the woman behind the strong mafia boss. Her parents are originally from Norway but moved to New Jersey for work. She met my father in New Jersey and from that day on she had him wrapped around her finger.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Magnus pushed my shoulder, not so lightly, "Dude, you're drooling all over your pancakes."

I glared at him the said sarcastically, "Good morning to you too, loser." I felt a kick on my leg then I turned to look at my mom and she gave me a nasty look.

"Good morning, Sweetheart, princesses (princess), and my other lazy children." Pappa said, and as he walked into the dining area. He kissed my mamma on the head then smiled at me and he sat at the head of the table while giving my brothers a disapproving glare.

"I'm not that lazy!" Magnus complained, "I never mentioned names, Magnus."

My brothers all sat down and the maids served them their food. I zoned out a bit since they were talking about the business.

"What happened to the guy who stole almost 500 thousand worth of armories from you?" I turned to look at Oskar, "500k?!" I asked.

My dad nodded then said, "Rossi was his last name I believe, that was a long time ago and he's long gone by now." Oskar nodded then continued to eat when I heard a fork being dropped onto a plate. We all looked at Magnus and he said, "Rossi? THE Rossi?"

My father looked at him with a confused expression and nodded, "Why? What's wrong, min sønn (my son)? Do you know them?"

Magnus had this unreadable expression then he smiled at us and continued to eat, "Nope. I just wanted to spook all of you"

We shook our head then proceed to eat. After eating I went over to open the package that was in the living room. My mamma came with me and sat on the couch while I sat on the floor with the package in front of me.

I picked up a pair of scissors and tried to see what was inside the box, I looked at the side but there were no labels.

Once I was able to cut the damn tape off the package, I opened the box and was mortified with what I saw.

In the middle of the box was a dead bunny, the head of the bunny removed from its body and there was a note beside it.

I screamed at the sight and my mamma immediately pulled me away while my father, brothers, and a few of our men flooded the room. Magnus came up to me and my mamma and hugged us while they tried to calm me down.

Aksel picked up the note and shook his head then showed the other men in the room the note.

"what the f-" "who the hell" "That's psychotic" was heard all around the room then I heard my dad yell out, "FIND OUT WHO DID THIS." he raised the note and in the note, written in blood, was 'You killed my brother, I'll kill your daughter next.'

My vision slowly darkened and I felt my body slipped from the hold of my brother and mamma

(time skip)

I slowly woke up on a bed and I looked around and saw my Mamma and Pappa sitting on the bench at the end of my bed. "Mamma? Pappa?" I croaked out.

They turned around and rushed to my side and my mamma stroked my hair, "Everything will be alright, dukke (doll)" my mamma whispered in my ear. I looked over at my Pappa and he kneeled the side of my bed and held my hand, "We will be going to New Jersey to stay with the Volkov's okay?"

"Will you be going with us, Pappa?" I sat up against the headboard of my bed while my Pappa sat on the edge of my bed and my mamma went out to get us some tea and tell my brothers I'm awake.

"I will go with you then accompany your mamma back to Norway." I stared at him confusedly

"Will I be going with her to Norway?" he shook his head then stroked my hair

"You will be staying at the Volkov's residence while we solve who did this. Dmitri and Nadia are good friends of ours and will help find this jævla (damn) person."

"But Pappa I want to be here." I remembered the Volkov's. They're a very strong brotherhood with many alliances such as ourselves but they're not people you mess with.

They're vicious and ruthless, or so the tabloids say. Despite my question, I know why I have to stay with them. My Pappa is afraid that they are not able to protect me and find the person while I'm here, so they'll send me off to the people who he knows can protect me from anything.

"They can protect you, prinsesse (princess). It's for the best." he kissed my head and stood up, "Melanie will help you pack what you need. We will leave tonight to ensure that not many people will see us." I nodded then stood up and we walked downstairs together.

After a couple of cups of tea and lunch, I walked up to my room with Melanie and a few others to pack up my stuff.

We opened my closet door and they started to pile clothes into my suitcases while other maids prepared toiletries for me to bring and I walked towards my study table to pack some electronics,

"You can't bring your electronics, prinsesse (princess)" I looked over to my dad

"How am I suppose to communicate with you guys and school?" I asked him

"I'll find a way for you to keep up with your classes and as for communication I will give you a phone that can't be tracked when we get to New Jersey." I just nodded then went on to help Melanie to pack my clothes.

After a few hours of packing, we were finally done and I checked the time on my phone, it was almost 10 pm.

I walked downstairs with my suitcases and placed them near the door then walked over to my brothers and hugged them, "Aren't you coming with us?" I asked them. They smiled at me sadly and shook their heads "We'll keep in touch with you okay, Jullie?"

I smiled at them then hugged them individually then we walked outside to the garage where my parents were waiting by an unmarked, tinted, black SUV.

"Ready to go, dukke (doll)?" I nodded and we placed all our suitcases in the trunk of the car while my mom said her goodbyes to my siblings and we entered the back seat of the car.

Once we have seated my dad rolled down the window and we all said our goodbyes and the travel to New Jersey started. Although the travel time was 26 minutes, I decided to take a short nap, and hopefully, when I wake up this is just a horrible dream.
