The Mafias Protection

12. holier-than-thou

I heard a loud thumping sound keep banging at my bedroom door, getting louder and louder waking me up from my deep slumber.

I let out a groan, rolling on my side and pulling the pillow over my ear to help deafen the sound.

"Wake up El." I heard the faint noise of Angelica say outside my door, making me close my eyes harder just wanting to go back to sleep.

"I'm tired." I yelled back hoping it will make her leave me alone, but the sudden door being blown off its hinges made me sit straight up in bed.

"What the hell!" I exclaimed, staring at an annoyed looking Louis with Angelica behind him.

"Where is he?" Louis demands, making me knit my brows in confusion watching as he stormed around my room, looking inside my bathroom and closet.

"Where is who?" I asked confused, still sitting under the covers of my bed.

"Damon!" He yelled as if it was obvious.

"Why would Damon be in my room?" I asked the million dollar question, making Louis run his hands through his hair in frustration.

"Damon was meant to go to a meeting with dad this morning," Angelica said "but he never showed up, and we can't find him anywhere."

"Okay but why would he be in my room?" I asked again, looking between the pair of them.

"According to some of dads men, you both have been 'getting closer', whatever that means." She says, doing air quotes to what she had apparently heard.

I let out a loud exaggerated laugh, letting my head fall back as I couldn't contain myself.

"It's not funny Eleanor." Louis said staring daggers at me.

"No it is." I said once I catch my breath, wiping the tears that had fallen from me laughing too much.

I watched as Louis shakes his head in disbelief, infuriated with how I was handling the situation.

"What, would you have rather found him in my bed?" I ask, slightly annoyed at how he was reacting.

Sure he was my older brother but that still doesn't mean he has the right to control what or who I do, and he's never had a problem when our other brothers have found an interest in a woman.

"I'd rather you stay out of trouble." He argues back, making his vain in his head pulsate.

"You're saying Damon is trouble?" I cock my head to the side to see what he will say considering he agreed to let Damon train me.

"I'm saying we came here to keep you safe, not for you to start fucking Alec's right hand man cause he showed you a bit of attention." He hissed out with venom, making me jump out of bed and charging at him with my fist held up high.

I started throwing as many punches as I could at him, annoyed that he basically called me a slut.

"Okay that's enough you two." Neels dominant voice cuts between us out of nowhere, shoving us both apart.

"No, I'm so sick of you all treating me so differently to everyone else. It okay if you guys want to go out and fuck who you like, so why is it so different if I want to do the same?" I yell out at them, watching how they all reacted so differently.

Neels held his head in shame, knowing that I was right. While Louis eyes burned with a seething anger, like he felt like he could control what I do.

"The difference is Damon is one of Alec's men, he's off limits." He warned, stalking closer that even Neels backed away.

"Let's have it straight," I started "you've been fucking one of Alec's maids from the first day being here, so don't act like you're holier-than-thou." I point my finger at him knowing that I was right as I had caught them sharing flirty looks since being here.

"You know how it's different." He says smacking my accusational finger away.

"Because you're a guy, but let me tell you something." I began to warn him, stalking that extra bit closer to him "I will fuck who I like, even if it's one of Alec's men cause you don't control my life."

Just as I said it a floor board squeak causing us all to look it the direction it came from to see a blood soaked Damon.

"Wrong timing?" He asked with a awkward smile present on the corner of his lips.
