In the dead of the night a scream pierces my ears. As I start to move towards my gun on the side of my bedside table but before I can grab it I am slapped and kick I look next to me and realize that Emily is having a nightmare. I'm not completely sure what to do so I put my hands around her but this makes everything worst. She pulls and kicks and I let go. I shake her a bit and repeat her name over and over until her eyes open up looking mortified. I pull her to me and hold her tight.
"Would you like some hot chocolate?" She asks after she washed her face and come back. "Emily I need to have a long talk with you this morning, this time it will be my turn to share." She nods before leaving the room to the kitchen. I walk out and into my office opening the folder I have for Isabella.
Emily pops her head into my office with two mugs of hot chocolate. "Can I come in? I know the rule is" I interrupt her. "Fuck the rules and come in" She hands me the hot chocolate before taking a seat. "Emily now it's my turn to share. I guess that you figured out that I don't just own restaurants." She nods "I am second in charge of the Italian mob in America with my father being the only person above me."
She looks scared. "I promise you we are not into human trafficking or raping" She nods. "We had a deal go very badly two years ago when I wouldn't supply guns to a Russian mob that I thought was dealing in human trafficking. Two weeks later my sister Isabella was taken from a club. We have searched everywhere for her and I'm quite sure that the Russians have her. Once every six months someone sends me a photo of my sister being tortured in some form of the word." I looked up and saw Emily crying I moved around the table and pulled her into my hug.
"How can I help?" Emily shocked me with this and I held her tighter for a moment. "Can you look at the photos I have and see if you recognize anything or anybody" she nodded. We both got up and moved to my side of the desk, since there was only one chair she sat on my leg. I don't know when we got so comfortable with each other but I loved it. I clicked on the photographs and the first came up of my sister naked bound and gagged.
Emily placed her hand over her mouth as she started crying. "I know this place and I can 100 percent say the same people have her." I looked at her quite shocked how could she be so sure. "How are you" before I could finish my question "there" she pointed to the spot right next to my sisters lady area. "See that mark" I honestly had never thought much about it.
Emily got up off my lap and pulled her pj shorts up until it was right against her pubic hair and there where the skin meet she had the exact same mark. "They brand us" I could see how uncomfortable this was for her so I pulled her pants back down. "It's so that you know you are their property" she was crying by now shaking little by little.
We didn't look at any other photos tonight. It was 3am and I needed her to not have a panic attack on me so I got her out the office and into a swimsuit and into the pool. We swam and talked in the dark of the pool for over an hour and when we got out we went to the kitchen and I grabbed us some chips before plopping down in front of the tv. With the exception of the news I have never watched tv in my house, the television was here for when family visit but that hardly ever happens.
10 minutes into the hallmark movie she selected she fell asleep in my arms I think exhausted from all the events today. I placed her in my bed and went back to my office to go over what I had learned. Emily lighted the fuse under me so to speak and I looked at the case of Isabella with new eyes. I would find my sister and avenge everything they had done to her and I will keep Emily safe and get revenge for what she has been through.
I decided to make breakfast for Emily as I'm already up and I need her to sleep. She shared a big part of herself with me and I need her to know how much it meant to me. I scrambled some eggs on toast and placed some fruit on the table, I made coffee for both of us and served it to and then I went to wake her up.
After she came back from the bathroom I pulled her next to me on the edge of the bed I looked deep in her eyes and spoke "I know telling me everything yesterday was a big step and I just wanted to thank you. I will protect you I promi" my promise is cut off by a short soft kiss on my lips.
I look at her awe struck but with the biggest smile on my face. She's touching her lips as if she's not sure what she just did. She blushes and I grab her hand before leading her to the food.
