the unwanted twin

chapter 58

Alesandro knocked on the door he presumed Emilia to be. His mother came out of the room.

"Oh son" Rose engulfed her son in a hug.

He hugged her back "I didn't expect today to end quite like this" he muttered.

"Neither did I but its done now, you need to consider there might be some truth in Lexi's words though"

Alesandro pulled away from his mother "mai bambina is not dangerous, mentally ill and she does not hurt herself and blame others"

"I meant that there will be alot of emotional damage and trauma from everything, but yes it wouldn't hurt to check into her past"

Alesandro had never been one to give his mother a hard time, he respected her to much but at the moment, he simply ignored her knocked on the door and this time Ellie anwsered. She smiled but it was a sad smile "can I see her" he asked.

"Yeah she's just finished but Alesandro she's terrified right now so please be careful" Ellie was worried for the poor girl in the other room.

They had come for a few days so luckily they had packed and Ellie always packed too much. So right now she was in a pair of leggings which were too big and one of her T-shirts which was also way to big. Emilia was tiny for her age and still quite malnourished, anything she wore unless it was her own clothes would always be too big.

Alesandro nodded and entered the room.

Emilia was sat wrapped up in the duvet on the bed.
"Hello Emilia" he carefully said.
"Hi" Emilia whispered.

Alesandro smiled, she was adorable. "Can I come sit with you" he asked.

"are you sure you want to do that" Emilia asked.

"And why wouldn't I want to" Alesandro asked.

"Because I'm dangerous and violent and hurt others for my own gain"

"Oh really? Tell me sweetheart what have you done that's dangerous or in anyway harmed others"

"Well um I harmed damons  ego earlier, I told him he couldn't do anything apart from stalk his family. I don't think he liked that"

Alesandro laughed "you're so adorable Mia bambina but I mean physically, like attacking someone" she was too inoccent for her own good. He couldn't imagine what dangerous would be like on her, he wouldnt be able to take her seriously.

(Ok it's going to get dark, so trigger warning of attempt S.A and just a while lot of dark stuff)

"Well there was this one time " Emilia's eyes suddenly found the floor very interesting.

"Oh yeah? Do you want to talk about it" Alesandro asked wanting to know who had hurt his daughter so he could put a bullet between their eyes.

"It happened ages ago, I don't remember much" Emilia started, she was tired of holding everything in, they knew about the abuse now it was out, why not share more dark secrets.

Alesandro carefully sat on the bed next to her and Emilia found herself leaning on him with duvet still wrapped around her.

"There was this creepy man"

Alesandros eyes widened. No. No. No.
He said nothing but he hoped it didn't go further than creepy. Who was he kidding, she wouldn't have brought it up if it didn't.

"He wasn't very nice, he was Henry's friend, Henry um he couldn't afford his um drugs"

Alesandro tightened his grip on her.
He didn't like where this story was going.
