Demon

chapter 2

Emilia had fallen asleep in the car so Alesandro had picked her up and carried her to her room. He removed his jacket from her and took off her shoes and then  pulled the duvet over her, tucking her in.

"Please forgive us" he whispered before leaving.

The next morning was rough for everyone. Damon was back and he wasn't angry only worried.

Mason was anxiously pacing outside Emilia's room waiting for her to go down for breakfast.

Matteo had a hangover so he was downstairs drinking coffee. Dante looked hungover but was feeling alot better.

Both boys noticed their father trying his best to perfect the pancakes he was obviously making for Emilia.

"Is Emilia okay" Matteo asked knowing she probably was but had to check.

"She knows about the Mafia" Alesandro stated coldly as he glared at Damon.

"You told her. What the fuck Damon" Dante snapped.

"She doesn't know I'm the boss" he said quietly in case she overheard.

"I don't care. We were suppose to do it calmly. You better hope I can fix things" Alesandro said.

"Does she hate us" Matteo asked.

Alesandro sighed "I dont know" he couldn't lie to his boys.

Meanwhile upstairs Emilia left her room, she knew if she didn't go down for breakfast, her father would bring it up but he would fuss, and after last night she didn't want to be alone.

She was surprised to see Mason.

He looked at her and didn't know what to say. "Please don't hate me Lia, I know dad and Damon want to talk about it as a family but Lia please. I will quit the Mafia, I won't have anything to do with it ever again, just don't hate me" he found himself becoming desperate.

Emilia didn't know how to respond. She could never hate any of them. But fear them? Yes. And trust? She didn't know if she could.

"I could never hate any of you but I need to think about certain things" she said.

"Of course. You need time. Let's get you breakfast first. It will stop dad obsessing over it. He's been trying his best to create the perfect breakfast for you"

At the mention of her dad's food She smiled and Mason took this as a good sign and they both went downstairs. The talking stopped when they entered.

Dante watched her carefully not knowing how to proceed.

"Take a seat Emilia, I made you breakfast"

Mason also grabbed some pancakes, his dad had made way to many.
Alesandro had made her pancakes and on every layer was one of her favourite toppings.

The family ate silently but this time it was a awkward silence.

Everyone was worried about  her hating them. Everyone except Damon.

Damon hated the thought of her hating him but as long as she was safe, he didn't mind.

She came so close to being kidnapped.

Emilia was thinking the exact same thing as well as the possibility of them turning against her.

"Just so you know I'm not in the Mafia, I know of it but I'm not a member" Dante stated breaking the silence.

"Me neither" Matteo jumped in.

"But you will be once you finish school" Emilia stated.

Dante wasnt an official member but he was preparing to become one.
It was almost official.
