Mine

"We're asking for your cooperation Mr. Moretti. I'm pretty sure you want the girl as well, since your late father was the one who put her as a red note" Jabulani Zadzisai. The don of the South Africa mafia is video chatting with me and a few other bosses about finding Emery. Little do they know the very person they're looking for is here. I haven't said a word this whole meeting. I've just been watching them and listening to them.

"Moretti do you know the girl?" One of the don's ask me. "No I'm just as clueless as you are about her. My father never had mentioned her when he was a live." Which was somewhat true. After the incident where I pushed Emery away he never mentioned her. Except for one day a few years back. He came home in a rage breaking everything and hurting anybody that was in his way.

He asked me have I heard anything from Emery which confused me. I haven't heard from her since high school. When I told him that he just stormed out the house. Thinking back on that day, if I had to guess that was the day Emery escaped from him.

"Sir" Looking up from my computer screen Rock walks in "La festa sta per iniziare e Noemi è qui" (the party is about to start and Noemi is here).

"What about-"

"Sorry to cut this meeting short but I have other business to attend. As soon as I find out something about the girl I'll let you know." Not giving them a chance to say anything I leave the chat.

Sighing I lean back in my chair. I could use a drink right now but I got rid of all the alcohol in the house. Except for the club downstairs. I just put her on the list of people not to serve alcohol to.

"Sir-"

"I know I know" getting up we leave my office and head to the elevator. "Do they have anything on her?"

"No but they're talking about hitting up M to try and find her" a slight panic expression was on his face before it quickly went away. "If they come in contact with him who knows how long we have until he finds her" Rock was worried about her. I can hear it in his voice. She's only been here for about a couple of months now and they're already so close. I'm not jealous or anything because I know that it's a brother and sister type of love. I also know that everyone can tell that she's mine. No matter how much I try to deny it.

"Apparently nobody has heard from M in a while" getting off the elevator we walk to the backyard where the party is being held stopping our conversation.

It looks like everyone was having fun. Gio on the grill cooking the food. Romeo and Emery playing with the kids in the pool with Noemi. Luca was in charge of the music. Other kids were spread out in different places playing a game.Walking over to the pool I crouch down waiting for Izzy to see me, which didn't take long.

"Papà!" Getting out of the pool she runs to me. "Don't run. Walk!" I yell at her. Slowing down her pace she walks to me with her arms out and a pouty face. Picking her up I scald her about running. "I'm sorry papà I won't do it again"

"Good. Are you having fun?"

"Si. Papà will you play with us in the pool?"

"Naturalmente amore mio" (of course my love) "Romeo" passing Izzy to Romeo I strip down into my dark blue swim trunks. "Are you going to play with us old man" Leo taunts me as he put Izzy on his shoulders.
