Emilia

chapter 42

Damon stared at his sleeping sister hoping she would forget her question by morning but that was doubtful since she was doing an assignment on the Mafia.

Or more bluntly she was writing about him.

She had insulted him tonight and it did annoy him to some extent since she was targeting the Mafia him and especially when he couldn't insult her back.

But the question.

He hoped she would forget asking because he didn't want to lie but he wasn't willing to let her know the truth. It was too late to speak to their dad so he would make sure to do that first thing in the morning.

He tried to sleep but he couldn't help keep checking Emilia was still asleep and safe. The teacher had mentioned the word 'kidnapping' and it was obviously triggering for her.

He would pay Henry a visit tommorow.

Little did he know that Henry already had a visitor. It was never to late to inflict pain on the man for Alesandro so he had been torturing him for hours. He completely ignored Lexi. Even though he couldn't stand her she was still his daughter and he always promised himself any anger he had he would take out on his enemies never his children. Damon was different, he didn't care if she was blood he wanted her to suffer and so Alesandro reluctantly turned a blind eye to it.

He himself was fortunate enough to grow up in a loving home with his parents and brothers, sure his dad was extremely tough and they knew about the Mafia and were involved from a young age but he never hit them. Growing up he saw many of his friends suffer at the hands of their parents.

(Remember when Alesandro was growing up it was a different time so probably legal. or common to hit them)

He never wanted his kids to suffer and he never wanted them involved in the Mafia at a young age so he made a rule. They could learn and occasionally help out but they couldn't fully be a part of it until they left school and it was completely their choice.

A man like Henry didn't have those principles it seemed and so he channellled more of his anger into hurting the man.

When he got home hour later he made sure to quickly get to his room, which was the biggest in the house. He needed to get rid of the blood and probably get some sleep.

Morning came quick and he was in a awful mood, still angry at Henry and tired as hell.

He had started to enjoy cooking more often so he reduced Mary's hours down but eventually she only came a few times a week to clean.  He made sure to pay her the same.

So now he did the cooking mostly for his youngest as he believed his elder kids could make their own breakfast.

(Before you attack him for this it's just a personal belief the older ones even Matteo and Emilia are old enough to make their own breakfast but he knows they won't eat unless he makes them breakfast)

He didn't expect Damon to come down so early and shut the door behind him.

"What is it" Alesandro asked.

"So I think Emilia had a nightmare last night and...."Damon started.

"Where is she? Is she okay? I need to go check on her" Alesandro fussed.

"We have a bigger problem. She is fine"  Damon said.

"What is it" Alesandro asked.

"She asked me if I was part of the Mafia before falling asleep " he switched languages so she wouldn't hear if she walked in or even overheard.

"So she suspects"

"Yes. I can't lie to her but she can't know the truth.

"I don't know Damon. She's been through alot she's not mentally ready to hear it but she did see us shoot lots of people and me shoot her own mother so maybe it won't be as bad" Alesandro really didn't know what to do

""It's your choice I just don't want her to hate me" Damon said.

"We let her do her assignment first and form an opinion and based on the opinion we either don't mention in or we tell her" Alesandro decided.

"Understood. It's funny though she asked if I was a part of it. She has no clue I run it"

Alesandro laughed slightly. "What was the nightmare about " he asked deeming that more important.

"Teacher mentioned kidnapping and it triggered her"

"Oh my poor baby I'm going to go check on her"

"By now she's probably getting ready for the day"

Alesandro unfortunately accepted this and continued cooking.

Eventually everyone was seated having breakfast. Alesandro knew how personal her mental health was and didn't want to bring it up in front of the others. 

"So Emilia, have you thought about what area of the Mafia you are going to do your project on" Dante asked deciding he wanted a bit of drama.

"Yeah I figured it out yesterday after school" she replied not really wanting to talk about it

"What's that" Matteo asked wanting to know. He was genuinely curious.

"Well I'm going to do a overview of the Mafia then focus on the boss"

"Shouldn't be too hard"Dante muttered

"Why the boss Emilia " Damon asked.

It was one thing her knowing they were part of it but running it was a whole different story.

"Well I just find it interesting how no one knows who he is. Like even his enemies why haven't they sold him out"

"Emilia the Mafia here have connections everywhere even in the police departments and government. No one has sold him out because they will be investigated and done for their crimes" Damon spoke in his business tone.

"Ok what about posting a picture online anonymously" she asked.

"What about your teacher he's teaching you this content" Dante asked.

"No the Mafia makes alot of money why be a teacher besides he's far to nice. It would have to be someone rich if he's paying of the government"

"So rich like Damon and dad" Dante really was going for it and he earned himself multiple glares from both his dad and Damon.
"I mean yeah but Damon Is too soft"

There was a snigger from everyone but Damon at this comment.

"Too soft? How the hell am I too soft?" Damon asked defending himself.

"The teddy bear. You still have it plus you  will hug me and spend time with me and although you have anger issues you're not scary enough to run a criminal organisation that everyone fears"

Damon rolled his eyes but smiled. He was glad his sister didn't see him as scary.

"Brat" he said.

"Stalker" she replied.

"I can be scary" he said.

"Yeah I mean at first you could and in certain situations sure but now I know you won't hurt me. Actually I know none of you will"
