Emilia

chapter 85

Sooo the book is soon coming to a end which means Damon is more mafia like.....but also a new smaller aesthetic for Emilia as she's changed so much since the beggining of the book.

Anyway back to the cliff hanger that you were all left on....on purpose.

Throughout the day everyone noticed Emilia's behaviour was off.  Only Dante knew why. He watched her closely at lunch ignoring any other girl.

Was it worth it to see her like this?

He didn't know.  Simply because he was going to fix it when they got home. He hated seeing her like this, he didn't want to tell Alesandro straight away as he wanted to give him till the evening to calm down.

Maybe it was a mistake because he saw how Antonio held her hand to stop her nerves. She wasn't just nervous though, she was terrified.

He was more than happy when school ended and they could all go home. Matteo hadn't bothered asking Dante about it, he knew it was Dante however he had no clue Emilia was involved.

Their dad wasn't home when they got back though and it made Emilia more anxious. Dante followed her up to her room and when she didn't object to him following her into her room, he went in. Once her door was shut, she broke down crying. Dante quickly pulled her into a hug. "I'm taking the full blame em" Dante said.
"No. I can't let you. Please tell him it was both of us. I can't face him. Please" she didn't want Dante to be the only one in trouble.

"No. It's on me this" Dante stated.

"Please Dante. If you don't I'll tell him it was all me. He's not going to believe you put mats down anyway" she tried.

Dante knew that was true. He wouldn't have bothered with mats.

"Okay I'll tell him you were involved" he reluctantly agreed knowing she would try take full responsibility once she was feeling brave enough or if she saw their dad scolding him.

For the next hour though it was peaceful. The two of them sat talking, Dante making sure she was okay every so often and of course to cheer her up they watched the video of the prank a few times.

And soon the peace was over.

They heard Damon and Alesandro entering. Alesandro sounded annoyed and Damon sounded angry.

If they were both coming home at the same time it meant they had been doing something mafia related.

"Give it a little while and I'll go speak to dad"  Dante whispered as Emilia looked towards her door in fear.

Emilia nodded. Her thoughts weren't on her father though. They were on how angry Damon had sounded. It was terrifying.

To distract Emilia they both watched a bit of TV for at least an hour before Dante decided it was time.

"Be careful" she whispered.

"Always am. Besides he won't do anything" Dante had a new plan. He wanted to take all the blame and only involve Emilia if absolutely necessary, but would tell their dad he forced her to co-operative. Now he was going to involve her a little more.

He left and found his dad in his office. He had to knock and when he heard the come in, he walked in. He didn't expect to see Damon stood there. Damon looked like he was ready to murder someone.

Dante couldn't help it though. He hated having to see Emilia cower away.
He wanted to believe it was just the prank but he knew why. He just didn't want to face it.

Emilia was scared of Damon.

"Sort your attitude out Damon, don't fucking bring work home with you ever again" he snapped.
