Chapter 16 - Emilla + Dante

Emilla's Pov:

I wake to the sound of my alarm, reminding me I have work today.

I have a quick shower and pick an outfit for today, supporting a pair of light blue jeans and a mesh brown top.

Outfit:

Today was muggy so I headed to the bakery earlier to get everything ready, so hopefully I may have a relaxed day. I chose to drive my car today knowing that it might rain.

After arriving at the bakery, I started baking fresh blueberry muffins. They were delicious on a muggy day, nice, warm and fresh.

Hearing the bell ring I turned to find Miss Heidi. God time flies when baking.

"My dear, how have you been? The weekend treat you well?"

"Hey Miss Heidi, yes I've been good, the weekend was the same as always." I say hoping to get off the topic so I may get back to the blueberry muffins as they may burn.

"That's good dearie, go back to what you were doing. Yes." She said softly knowing that I had work to do.

"Thanks, was it the usual or did you want a fresh blueberry muffin. I haven't made them before hoping you'd like it. They should be done in about five"

"That would be wonderful, may I get an earl grey one sugar?"

"Sure one moment" I giggled to myself at her eagerness. It was Monday so her grandkids would be visiting.

After an hour of no one showing up I decided to start on a cake that was commissioned for a little girl's 6th. It was adorable the mum called in frantically, hoping that the cake would be ready Wednesday morning, forgetting to order one. She hoped that the design she wanted could be done.

"Princess" I hear a voice at the door, instantly knowing that it was Nicholas I rush out to find him crying running towards me.

"Sweetie, where's dad ?"

"I don't know, Uncle Teo said to come here." he started sniffling again, upset. "A man tried to get me"

I rubbed a tear of his face pulling him close to me till I heard the sound of a speeding car. Mateo ran inside screaming something inaudible.

"Hide now" he screamed whilst running inside.

"What?" I call back confused Nicholas still clinging onto my waist.

"Emilla, you need to trust me there are people coming for you and Nicholas you need to hide now?" He said roughly pushing us behind the counter.

"Why would someone be after us?" I questioned a tear rolling down my face.

"Listen, cover Nicholas' ears alright, and don't move. I need you to call Dante and tell him to come here now. " He said abruptly to the sound of a gunshot.

I look down to see Nicholas crying his eyes out holding onto me tightly.

"Hey bubba you need to turn around okay, stay close to my chest and cover your ears. Can you do that for me?" I questioned softly hoping not to scare him any further.

He nods slightly. Covering his ears whilst cradled into my chest. I scurry around the back counter trying to find my phone.

I quickly found his contact, he picked up within the second ring.

"Principessa, I didn't expect you to call" he remarked questionably

I stifled down a cry hoping not to frighten Nick.

"Amore everything alright?"

"P-please dante" I stuttered out sheepishly when another gunshot. I help back a scream, my chest pounding and my breathing spreading up. God not now.

"Amore, hey I'm coming everythings gonna be. Breath for me okay."

I sniffle back "Okay"

I hear the sound of a car speeding towards the bakery. More gunshots fire, Until it abruptly stops. I feel an arm grab my shoulder. I flinched and screamed whilst pulling away.

"Amore it's okay it's just me" I turn to find Dante in all his glory, smiling down at me and Mateo

"Hey buddy" he quietly tapped Nick's head, he turned towards his father with a massive grin, hugging him as if his life depended on it. "Your okay bud, where gonna go home okay"

"Okay, is Emilla coming with us?"

"Yeah buddy she is"

"Wait what" I stand up to see the sign of my bakery dishevelled.

"Stop" I say a bit aggressively.

Dante and Nicholas look at me stunned at the tone of my voice.

"I'm not going anywhere with you. Not until you tell me what the hell is going on." I say stamping my foot to the ground, finally taking in the scene around me.

"Well?'" I questioned angrily

------------------

Dante's pov:

"Well?'" she said angrily, if looks could kill.

"Amore" I said softly.

"No Dante, I don't want to hear excuses. My bakery is ruined. Everything is ruined." She yelled back at me, slapping my chest.

"Hey, hey" I pulled her into me. "It's okay" I hummed softly as she cried into my arms. She was exhausted. If only I left her alone we wouldn't be in this.

"No you can't do that. Be all lovey dovey and give me a hug hoping it will make everything better it won't."

"I know Principessa, we can talk about this after you've grabbed your things and headed back to my house where I know it's safe." I finished

"What?" She snapped back. "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on."

"Amore I won't tell you again you're coming with me, where I know I can keep you and Nicholas safe. I say gruffly "Now let's go" grabbing onto her arm I pull her and Nicholas into the car. Driving them to her house.
