Emilia

chapter 62

Emilia couldn't sleep again. She hadn't seen Damon or mason that evening after school and her dad was busy with work so she didn't want to disturb him but he had made it clear if she needed anything to come to him.

Because it was a Friday night her brothers went out.

It was late at night so she soon drifted into a sleep.

A 5 year old girl rushed to get her parents and sisters breakfast ready but she was only 5 and couldn't exactly cook. She never felt love from her family, her mum would always tell her she was a mistake and other vile insults. She envied Lexi, Lexi got everything she wanted but all Emilia truly wanted was a family. She wanted to be loved. She didn't care about the toys or clothes Lexi got.
Deep in thought she ended up burning the food.
It had been verbal abuse which left her crying but this time when Henry saw it he flipped out, dragging the small girl to their basement.
That was the first time he hurt her physicallly.

Emilia jolted awake. She knew not many people if any would remember what happened when they were 5 but for her she remembered, she remembered the pain. The feeling of terror. Everything.

She didn't want to be alone but her brothers were out and her father wasn't an option. Henry was suppose to be her father, she felt herself feeling insecure. What if he turns against her if she messes up again.

She looked at her phone. For a moment she considered the nice bad guy but it was nighttime he was probably working.

Damon was pissed at her. Even though they made up she didn't want to confront him after their last conversation.
She took a risk and decided to message the man who helped her a few days ago.
The Mafia boss.

Are you busy?

Damon wasn't exactly busy he had just had a fun filled day of torturing. And no that wasn't sarcastic.

He loved hearing his victims scream and beg for mercy. He was currently in a club though, Mason was about somewhere no doubt drinking with a random girl.

Damon however was sat in the VIP area, a few girls surrounding him and one sat on his lap.  When his phone went off he cursed silently but took it out knowing it might be important.

It was almost 4am. He was unsure why Emilia had messaged but he instantly dismissed the girls and sent them away despite their complaining.

The nice bad guy: No. What Is it?

He was hoping she didn't sneak out.

Emilia was suprised he anwsered and had been feeling stupid for asking.

I had a nightmare. My brothers aren't in.

Damon felt guilty but knew because she didn't go to her dad she didn't want to disturb him or more accurately it was probably about Henry.

He wanted to help her he really did but knew he couldn't. She didn't know it was him. he didn't want to betray her trust.

The nice bad guy: I'd love to help but I'm the one who causes nightmares not solves them. Go to a brother or your father

The way Damon saw it was if she told the Mafia boss something she  didn't want himself (Damon) to know, he was betraying her trust. If she wanted to tell him, she would at breakfast or dinner. Or when he went home.

He wanted his mafia persona to show her he wasn't all bad.

But he would not let her tell her secrets to him. Secrets that once she found out her own brother was the Mafia boss would probably ruin everything. She didn't message Damon, she obviously didn't want him to know.
