Tainted Past

44. Like a storm

Davide~

I looked at Lucia as she was sitting beside me. I took out my coat and put it on her lap. She tried to smile but failed and rested her head on my shoulder.

She is traumatized.

We were heading to Rome and are currently in our private jet. I am with Lucia all the time and didn't leave her for a single second not even went to see Damien.

I will deal with him later.

I looked behind to see Emilio and Enzo sitting behind us. They hadn't talk to Lucia for even once because they think she will get uncomfortable.

But I smiled when I looked at Lucia continuously glancing behind us. And my eyes softened when she opened her mouth to speak. "How are you guys?" She asked, her voice barely audible.

I looked behind to see both of their eyes softened and their lips turned into smiles. "Finally, you talked to us princess, I thought you only cared about Davide that you forgot about your brother or bodyguard" Enzo said and Emilio narrow his eyes at Enzo. 

They never really talked with each other Infront of us and are you wondering why they are behaving like they are best friends.

They think I don't know what is going on, but I know everything from start.

"I missed you grumpy" Emilio said and raised his hand to touch Lucia's head but her eyes widened immediately, and she hid her face in my chest. Her breathing heavy and hands shivering, I intertwined our fingers to stop her shivering and caressed her head to calm her down.

I looked behind at them and shook my head, they nodded, and I looked down at Lucia who clutched my shirt for life. Her breathing slowly calmed down and I slowly looked at her face to find she is asleep.

I pressed a button and the seat turned into a bed. I slowly made Lucia sleep on it; both of our hands still intertwined while she sleeps.

"Davide" I turned to see them looking at me with a serious look. I nodded telling them to continue.

"You have to see this" Emilio said and took out his tab. He tapped for some moments before turning the tab towards me.

My eyes widened and a frown formed on my face. There was a man who looks same like me sitting on a chair tied up with chains.

"Damien. He is Damien" Enzo said and my eyes widened. I haven't looked at Damien yet. I was with Lucia all the time and didn't went to meet him.

"What the fuck are you saying?" I asked keeping my voice low so Lucia's sleep wouldn't be disturbed.

"We don't know, he looks exactly like you, just a skin tone changes and he has many scars on his face. We asked him about this, but he hasn't spoken up a single time" Emilio explained but I kept quiet.

What the fuck is this?

"Davide" Lucia whispered clutching my bicep. I don't want Lucia to travel on the road so I had booked a helicopter. We will reach our penthouse by that.

"Is something wrong?" I asked looking down at her. She looked up at me and replied. "I- I am scared."

"Don't be, my darling" I said gently.

"I am here by your side. To protect you. To be with you. Always. You don't have to be scared of anyone. Just one word from you and I will kill anyone you tell me" I said and she nodded. I kissed her forehead.

I helped her get inside the helicopter and sat inside it. The helicopter soon started and Lucia looked outside the window. The roads were empty, everyone was in curfew.
