So I just wanted to let you all know that although Emilia is focused on quite a bit, it will soon focus more on damon however Em is a big part of his life, my books tend to be quite long and I do have alot planned for this book.


Emilia was dropped off home by Olivia who went straight back to work.

When she entered the house she was taken back for a small moment when she saw Mason and Alesandro arqueing.

"They've been at it for hours. Let's go to Dantes room we are gaming"  Matteo said quietly. He had come down for snacks, it was getting late so they were just in their room gaming.

Mason and Alesandro were arqueing in Italian so Emilia couldn't really tell , she just knew Mason had done something that Alesandro was pissed about.

"I should tell him I'm home right " Emilia asked as she followed Matteo upstairs.

"Not now, send him a message " Matteo said.

He knew the arquement was basically about Mason being irresponsible about something mafia related. He didn't pay much attention to mafia stuff.

"He's never shouted like that before " she said mostly to herself when they entered Dantes room.

"That's because he doesn't get angry with us unless we truly fucked up, like any parent he puts us in our place if we fuck up" Dante said patting the bean bag so she could come share it with him.

"Yeah don't worry despite the Mafia stuff he won't let us do stupid things. You saw how unhappy he was about the pranks. He's just a normal parent putting his kids in place" Matteo added.

They both did their best to reassure her knowing that she might not truly understand Alesandro wasn't a threat. After what Alice and Henry did they didn't want Emilia to worry about their dad.

He only really got annoyed at normal parent stuff but was alot more relaxed then most parents.

The three gamed for a while after that, Emilia sent Alesandro a message to let him know she was home. They only stopped gaming when Damon walked in.

"Are you gaming with us" Matteo asked already knowing he was here to tell them to get to bed.

"No it's late, you all should get to bed" he said.

"Why should we listen to you, last time I checked you're just our brother. Dad is in charge" Dante taunted.

"Is he in charge of me though? Maybe Damon could sign the adoption papers and become my guardian " Matteo said causing Emilia to laugh and Dante and Damon to look at the two youngest with 'what the fuck' expressions.

"Id rather dump you in a orphanage. I'm not going to question what you said because I don't want to know. Dad went out" Damon replied.

"Would you dump me in an orphanage Damon" Emilia asked as her and Matteo were trying not to laugh.

Damon looked at her with no emotion "yes" he blankly said. Of course it wasn't true but he did enjoy messing with her.

Emilia knew he wasn't being serious she wanted to say something but before she could he spoke again.

"Now bed time" he announced changing the subject.

"Fine whatever" Matteo said.

Damon walked with Emilia back to her room "how did everything go" he asked.

"It went fine" she didn't want to bother him.

"I know you went down to the cells, the boss is worried about you"

"He didn't seem worried, he wouldn't talk to me about it" Emilia said .

"Well wouldn't you rather talk to your amazing brother about it" Damon asked.

"You just kicked me out of Dantes room"

Damon was speechless. Emilia kept walking though leaving Damon behind. He snapped out of it in seconds though. But he smiled liking how confident she was getting.

"You've been in his room a few hours Emilia, plenty of time to tell him about it but you didn't. I know you didn't because Dante was relaxed and happy. So that little trick won't work" Damon stated and walked ahead of her. He knew if she'd have told Dante, he wouldn't let her leave .

"The boss doesn't mean to be cold to you, he just feels it's best not to get to personal" Damon explained waiting for her to catch up. He was now stood outside her door.

"Why doesn't he want to get to personal?"

"Emilia there are some things that you are more than welcome to tell him, if you want to take a hit out on someone for example" he started but paused "well what I mean is if there's a scary person you want him to speak to" he corrected himself childproofing the sentance.

It made Emilia smile at how he'd already said it but realised his mistake so went back and made it more appropriate.

"But don't you think if you're not feeling well you should go to dad or even when I'm home you can tell me these stuff" he was much more careful adding on when he was home.

"How come dad and Mason were arqueing" she asked switching the topic.

"Mafia stuff" Damon said being vague.

"You could give me a bit more details.  They were arqueing in Italian, you can't give me it was a adult matter because Matteo heard too. You've told me you're in the Mafia can't I at least know more, you always speak a different language when you don't want me to know stuff" she said , she didn't mean to say so much.

"We're Italian Emilia, we've gotten used to speaking English so you understand us, I even speak it at work now. But just because they argue in a different language doesn't mean it's because of you. We all often swap languages. Dad almost always argues in Italian. You are right tho. Mason went on some shipment job or something today and dad didn't approve of how he handled things. Mason just got defensive. And then there's just mason disapproving of dad's decision and dad getting defensive " he said.

"What decision?"

"Its nothing important don't worry " Damon said knowing she would only worry if she knew.

"Dad rarely shouts what was it about " she pressed.

"Tell me what happened today?" Damon asked gently.

"Fine tell me about dad and mason first " she replied.

"They didn't want me taking you to speak to the boss, dad finally agreed, he didn't like the idea but he agreed. Mason hated the idea. They were arguing because mason was questioning his parenting in the end" he said.

"So it's my fault "

"No. Its mine for letting u see him"  Damon said knowing she would blame herself . That was why he didn't want to tell her.

"Well your turn" he said.

"Just a thought about Lexi, it was nothing" she said and with that she went to bed shutting the door on him.

He knew it wasn't nothing.

Emilia fell asleep quite quickly, only she had a horrible dream.

That involved three people. Damon and the masked man she knew was the Mafia boss.

It scared her, there was a old man in the dream too and she woke up not wanting to be alone but she was too scared.

She didn't know what to do but she wanted to speak to the Mafia boss.
