Mafia Parade

18| A kiss under the moonlight

Here is the 18th chapter guys! Hope you enjoy it <3 

The next day— or rather night— I woke up in an empty bed, suddenly missing the warmth and security that Eric was able to make me feel.

The next days passed by rather quickly, being at the mansion alone with both of Eric and Maurizio alone wasn't much fun especially when I was bed-bound almost 24/7 trying to recover; both physically and mentally.

"...You don't have to lecture me for fuck's sake! ."

The long-distant voice of Eric made me stop in my tracks as I was heading to the kitchen for a glass of water.

"You always act as if you know it all," Maurizio was the next one to speak after a long pause; raising his voice as he goes on, "but you always fuck up in the end!"

That was the last thing said between them before something was suddenly broken, followed by the same noise again and again, making me rush right away to Eric's office.

As the door flew open, both Eric and Maurizio came into my sight, with my mouth slightly open I rushed to get Eric off of Maurizio.

"Stop it!" I yelled at the both of them but they were oblivious to my presence; so I just did the stupidest thing someone could ever do in that situation.

Yes, I got between the two of them and didn't care if I got punched as well. But as I held up my hands and screamed at them to stop everything stilled for a second.

The expression on Eric's face was menacing, with his nostrils flaring and hand curled into a fist ready to deliver a blow.

As he let go of Maurizio's collar, he turned away and kicked the coffee table making the glass shatter to pieces.

Maurizio on the other hand just grabbed his jacked and left the room wiping his bloody lip muttering some incoherent curses.

I whipped my head to Eric's way again as his heavy breath was the only thing heard in the room by now.

The rational voice in my head was urging me to get out of the room for that I didn't want to be the next one that Eric empties his anger on.

But...

"Wh-what happened?"

I mustered all my courage and asked in a low voice knowing that he would hear it, only to have him face me with his nostrils flaring saying.

"Emilia, get out."

His voice was firm and furious at the same time. And I was hesitant between staying to comfort him and fleeing as soon as possible.

"But-"

"Emilia don't make me repeat myself and get the fuck out of this room."

My eyes widened at the tone he used and at how hard he slammed his hand against his office. But that definitely was my cue to get out.

I got out of the room but stayed next to the door, listened to Eric cussing and breaking whatever was in his way.

I took a deep breath and started heading to the kitchen, with many thoughts swarming in my head. 

As I reached the kitchen I sat on the counter and didn't bother to turn on the lights, the moon was enough to illuminate the place.

The mansion was so quite that I could hear the waves hitting the rocks down the cliff, it was such an amazing sound that made me think of things.

Many things.

Anna, Fernando, my family.

Eric.
