the unwanted twin

chapter 17

"And so I guess that leaves me" Damon said, he knew Dante and Lexi didn't get on well so he didn't suggest Dante. He would only hurt her feelings.

"Yeah but I guess you're busy" Lexi said.

Damon sighed "what would you like to do" he shut his computer off.

"Oh I didn't expect you to agree do easily, we can do whatever, maybe we could just watch TV"

Damon nodded at her request. "Ok let's go"

Meanwhile (this happens from the moment Dante walked away)

Dante walked away from Lexi not wanting to be in her presence any longer. He was about to go to his room when he heard his name being called.
He turned and saw Alesandro behind him, Emilia stood but she looked nervous.

"Yes father?" Dante replied.

"stai bene"
(Are you ok)

Sì Perché"
(Yes why)

"Basta controllare figlio, non sei ancora te stesso. Non prestare molta attenzione a Damon, ha sbagliato a farlo. Che ne dici di venire con noi, stiamo andando a fare una passeggiata intorno al giardino"

(Just checking son, you are still not yourself. Don't pay to much attention to Damon, he was wrong to do that. How about you come with us, we are going on a walk around the garden)

"Non lasciare che ti catturi dicendo che"
(Don't let him catch you saying that)

Alesandro rolled his eyes "Io sono al comando da queste parti, quello che dico va, damon lo sa anche lui"

(I am in charge around here, what I say goes, Damon knows that too)

And what he said was true. Alessandro had had words with Damon for a good hour and he was still extremely pissed at him.

"Thank you , I think we should switch back to English, Em looks confused" Dante said smiling. He was greatful for how his father reacted. He expected him to agree with Damon, he usually did but this time Alesandro wasn't having it and he made that known to Damon.

"So are you coming" Alesandro asked. Emilia had been in the garden but their home was huge so the gardens were massive.

"Sure" Dante agreed, knowing if he didn't, he would only have his father in his room giving him a talk on feelings and shit like that. Dante was fine though.

He didn't regret the walk though, Alessandro explained to his two children about the garden. It may have seemed boring but for Emilia is was nice to have someone not shouting at her, to just talk to her about little stuff. Dante couldn't care less about his father's words, they were pointless but Emilia's smile made it worth hearing them.

After the wall, Emilia was exhausted, the garden was huge, they didn't even cover it all on their walk.

"How about you kids go watch TV and I'll make you both some hot chocolate" Alessandro suggested.

Emilia had never had it but it sounded nice so she nodded.

"Thank you father" Dante replied. Emilia nodded to this as well showing her thanks.

"Great. You two go ahead" he said sending them off to the living room.

Both of their smiles fell when they saw Lexi. Dante knew he should make an effort with her but there was something he didn't like about her.
Emilia saw how close she was with Damon, Damon was probably falling for her lies by now. She was slightly nervous and scared about sitting down especially with hot chocolate. Lexi wouldn't be happy.

"Hey tesoro where have you been" Damon asked when he noticed his siblings.
Lexi hated how much more gently he spoke with her.

"We went around the garden with father" Dante replied knowing Emilia couldn't.

"That's great, I hope you liked our garden tesoro. Why don't you come join us"  Damon acknowledged Dante's reply but spoke to Emilia.
"There is another room we can go to if you want " Dante whispered when he saw fear in her eyes.

Damon seemed to see this too as he was in front of her in seconds.
"What's wrong" he asked her.
They were on good terms, she obviously trusted him enough to insult him so he didn't get her reaction.

Emilia simply shook her head.

"Ok you don't want to talk about it, I understand. Come here tesoro" Damon said softly and opened his arms.

Emilia stepped forward and was in his open arms. Damon smiled and hugged her.
"You are okay" Damon whispered.

Dante didn't like both of the twins when they first came. He still didn't like Lexi but he was starting to warm up to Emilia, after she covered for him he made an effort and she was alright to be around.

He couldn't help his expression turned cold when he saw how Damon hugged her, he did it with so much care and love that you would never suspect he was the Mafia boss.

Damon and Emilia had a bond that no one could get in the way of, not even Lexi.

"Oh I didn't think you two would be here as well" Alesandro said when he saw his other two kids in the living room.

Dante and Emilia had been convinced to sit down, well Emilia had and Dante just joined.
Alesandro handed Dante his hot chocolate and ruffled his hair.
"For mia bambina" Alessandro said handing Emilia the cup.

"Can I have one too" Lexi spoke up. Emilia needed to go. She didn't like how she was taking up his time.

"Sure but Damon will have to make it" he paused then turned to Emilia and Dante  "I need to go out will you be okay"  although it seemed mostly directed at Emilia, Alesandro was just as concerned about his son.

"Great. All of you enjoy your evening"

So another update...I'm really enjoying writing this book. All translations are done online so might be wrong.
Also on the last chapter alot of you asked what the talk was about.

Basically Damon was pissed at Dante for the fight with Luca and how he has been treating the twins. What happened between them  is open to interpretation at the moment.
Share your thoughts in the comments would love to see what you all think. The talk clearly pissed Alesandro off....
