"Listen, I'm done trying to stop you from doing anything with her. All I want you to know is that if you do anything to her, I'll fuck you up." Eddie warned once Emilia was upstairs.

"Wow Eddie, and I thought we were friends."

"We are. You're my brother, but I know you and you know how much Emilia means to me and you know I only want her happy. Who's this Austin guy you were talking about calling?" he asked, changing the subject.

"He's Damon's assistant and replacement for when Damon's not at work. Damon's always making excuses, saying Austin isn't at work so he can cancel their plans. Emilia said he didn't come home yesterday. When I was over her house, he came in and completely forgot about their anniversary. He said that he was with Austin all night, something about Austin being drunk and Damon being too tired to dive home," I explained to him.

Eddie let out a sigh. "I swear if he's fucking around, I'm going to kick his ass." He shook his head. "She was crying, wasn't she?" he asked.

I nodded.

"She's always crying over him now. I don't know what happened, her and Damon relationship always seemed good. She never use to complain and cry so much over their relationship," Eddie said followed by a sigh.

"So he wasn't alway a manipulative asshole?" I asked.

Eddie shrugged. "Not that I ever saw. If he was, he never showed it in front of me."

Our heads snapped in the direction of the stairs once we heard Emilia coming down. She now had on sweatpants and a tank top. "I don't think I'm going out today so I just showered and put on my pajamas," she said lowly. Her voice sounded like she was crying. She didn't sound relaxed at all, the damn thing with her boyfriend not coming home and on top of that forgetting their anniversary.

Eddie stood up. "Comere," he said to her sympathetically. She walked over to him and hugged him tightly. He pecked her forehead and rubbed her back as the other arm held her tightly. "Em you know I always tell you to do what you think is best for you?"

She nodded against his chest. "Lately it seems Damon has been causing you so much worry and you don't seem happy. Maybe you should sit down with him, tell him you're not happy and um..end it," he said the last part lowly.

"But what am I supposed to do? I've been with him for years, Eddie. I've lived with him for years. I can't just break up with him. Yeah lately he hasn't been the best boyfriend, but maybe there's a reason. Like maybe there's something he's going through and having trouble communicating."

"Well, we'll help you find it out. Rio said he got Austin's number." Eddie assured her. Emilia nodded. He sat down on the couch and Emilia sat in between us.

I went to my contacts, pressing 'Austin'. It was easy to find since it was in the A's. The number dialed for a little and then he picked up. "Austin Cain, how may I help you?" he spoke as I put it on speakerphone.

"Yeah, you can help me. I want to ask you about your boss," I said.

"Oh, Mr. Moore isn't in today. How may I be of assist to you? Are you looking for an agency for a model of yours? What is your name? I can have a meeting booked as soon as possible," he rambled on. I looked at Emilia, she just shook her head in disbelief. Damon told her after leaving Austin's house that he went straight to work. And if Austin was drunk the previous night, why is Austin at work?

"No I-" I began but was quickly cut off.

"Oh, sir I'm sorry. This is a female only agency. We have another just for males, I can forward you over right now, would you like that?" he asked.
