Send help. I'm writing my 4th chapter today 😂
The next day , Damon was on the phone to his dad telling him he would be home in a few hours when Clara emerged from the room.
"I have to go. I'll be round soon" he was blunt since she was there. And Alesandro understood his sons change was due to not being alone so he said goodbye.
"Right. Make yourself some breakfast. Do you want dropping off anywhere nearby?" He was blunt about it.
He wasn't going to tell her he would be watching because then she would purposely do nothing but if he was watching without her knowing and she slipped up, he would simply kill her.
"No it's fine. I'll sort it out myself" she said. He watched her carefully as she made herself a slice of toast.
He didn't care what she ate just as long as she did. He wasn't going to be accused of starving her. Especially considering he wasn't in his mafia boss persona.
And one look at him and you could tell, he was alot more put together and looked like a businessman that you wouldn't want to cross but not a mafia boss.
"Where do you live, I could have someone take you if it's far as I am busy" he said. He wanted her address and didn't want to waste time finding it.
"Not a chance am I telling you. You'll target my family" she said.
"Fine. Rough area you live. I can't have you passing out or something " he said.
"Sorry no"
"Fine you have nothing. At least use my phone to call someone to get you"
"You will trace the number"
"I just don't want you on the streets. How about I drop you off in a nice public area and give you some money for transport and to use a payphone to call someone "
Thankfully she agreed.
And shortly after Damon left her with quite a bit of money , 300 euros to be exact. It was nothing to him though. He was a millionaire after all.
His dad was billionaire too.
So the family had no issues when it came to money.
Anyway he had a tech guy trace the call from the payphone and from a street camera watch her.
It turned out she ended up getting a bus. And from there he had the tech guy track the coach, she was being cautious, she swapped to a taxi and then a bus and then walked a bit before getting a taxi.
Damon was just doing everyday stuff really, he went to the store and walked round getting a few bits. No one would suspect he was tracking someone. He got a location as he was paying.
Now Damon was incredibly smart, he could have done it himself but he didn't have a laptop with him so he had to rely on others. Not that he actually cared. He had better things to do than hacking.
A younger Damon perfected the art of hacking at aged 12. He soon got bored of it so he always left mason to be in charge of the tech side. Mason was good at hacking too but he wasn't as good as Damon. Damon played off how good he was but his brothers and father all knew he was an expert at all things illegal.
He dropped the shopping off at home and then made his way home.
He couldn't help the annoyed expression when he was about to open the door but Callum opened it. "Welcome home Damon. We were worried you might not show" he said playfully, knowing full well Damon wouldn't do anything when Emilia was in the house.
"What are you doing here" he asked.
"Well I saw how busy you were so I called your dad myself, he insisted I come for dinner" he said with a grin and then he continued this time whispering "at first he was hesitant since Antonio was coming and he didn't want Millie to be put of but I told him how much I enjoyed his food and missed it and I assured him I didn't know who Antonio was"
"You're pathetic. Where's Emilia?" He said ignoring his friend, he wanted to see Emilia not Callum.
"So did you send her away? Did she keep my hoodie? She looked great in my hoodie, don't you think" Callum said ignoring the question.
"Yes she's gone. It was just a hoodie she looked the same. But no Olivia went shopping and got her some clothes, your hoodie is at mine. You can have it back." Damon said flatly.
Again surprising Callum, he thought there might be a bit of jealousy there but Damon truly didn't care.
"Fine Millie isn't back yet" Callum said.
A short while later
Matteo and Dante were trying to finish studying. Exams were hitting them hard.
Mason and Callum were watching TV, Damon was working.
Alesandro insisted on everyone spending time together. He was a little surprised when Callum called him but he couldn't say no because Callum and Emilia teaming up was like free entertainment.
When Alesandro arrived back, he had let his daughter go out on a walk with Antonio to get away from her brothers before dinner, and he had picked them up.
"Everyone is in the living room" Alesandro said.
"So avoid the living room" Emilia suggested.
"No go on in. I'll just put dinner on and then I'll be in " he said.
"I'm sorry you have to do this again. I think Damon just wants to make sure you're not like Luca" she said knowing if Antonio wasn't here it wouldn't be a family dinner.
"Its fine Em, I'll be here every night if it meant convincing them I'm not like that piece of filth" he told her.
They entered the living room.
Matteo, Dante, and Mason sat back and watched the entertainment unfold.
"So that's Antonio" Callum said getting up and walking over to them.
"And you are?" Antonio asked confidently.
"Damon's best friend of course" Callum said.
"Is that really how you want to be known as. You should aim for higher standards " Antonio replied.
He didn't really like Damon so any chance to insult him
"I think Millie should aim for higher standards. There's nothing special about you. How do I know you're going to treat her right" he said.
"He does treat me right" Emilia interrupted not wanting him to be threatened.
"I'm talking to him Millie" even though Callums tone wasn't harsh, she couldn't help grab Antonio's hand for reassurance. He understood straight away and squeezed it a little for reassurance "let's just sit down you can question me more in a less confrontation manner" he suggested.
"I think that would be wise. Both of you come take a seat. Ignore Callum" Damon said seeing the little habits she had when she got nervous.
"Leave the boy alone. I told you he was fine" Damon said quietly but harshly to Callum.
"But I need to make sure Millie is safe. She deserves the best not some low life" he said glaring at Antonio.
"Fine go talk to him privately not in front of Emilia though. And I mean talk" Damon advised.
He didn't like Antonio because of his attitude but he knew he wouldn't cause Emilia harm so he had no problem with him.
"Antonio can I talk to you, I think my introduction was a bit harsh, let's restart" Callum said.
"Fine"
"I'm Callum it's nice to meet you, I work with Damon and I've met Emilia before, she's like a sister to me and she deserves nothing but the best, if you hurt her even once, if you say the wrong thing. You will end up suffering in the most painful way possible " he introduced.
Emilia glared at Callum. Her brothers had warned Antonio the exact same way though, especially Damon.
"Got it" Antonio said not liking him.
"Great on a note important topic boys and girl. I have found a love interest for Damon" Callum announced like he hadn't just threatened Antonio.
Mason choked on the drink he was currently drinking.
Matteo and Dante starred in shock and started to laugh.
"Do tell Callum. I'd love to know my son's new girlfriend" Alesandro said coming in
"You said there was no one yesterday " Emilia said . Antonio wasnt as taken back but he did silently wish whoever she was good luck.
"She's just a woman from work. I told you about my ex, she just had some information and now she's gone home to her family " Damon said, childproofing it.
"But the way you carried her" Callum added.
"You must be dreaming. Only Em gets special treatment. He isn't carrying anyone anywhere only Emilia if she's fallen asleep" Dante stated .
Mason knew exactly who Callum was talking about and kept an open mind simply because Damon would have killed her by now if he truly hated her like he said he did.
"She fell asleep I had no choice but to carry her , and of course I was gentle, I wasn't going to bash her head against the door frame as I left" Damon said.
"I wouldn't put it past you" Callum said.
"Yeah I probably shouldn't fall asleep near him anymore " Emilia added.
"Want to tease Dante now we're on the subject of relationships " Antonio whispered. The two were sat together with Emilia leaning against him.
She nodded.
And the teasing begin.
Overall the night was a success. After a while they went and ate dinner. Antonio was questioned by Callum with everyone listening to Antonio's anwsers.
"Dad can we please go to my room. The boys are too much" she asked after dinner.
"Door open slightly" he told her . She nodded in agreement and went to find Antonio who was talking to mason.
She liked how despite her family being extremely protective and threatening , Antonio still made an effort with them..
They went to her room and the two of them practically collapsed onto her bed.
"Peace and quiet at last" Emilia said.
"I know. I've missed spending time with you" Antonio said.
"We spend every day together at school" she said.
"True but I can't do this....may I?" He leaned in to kiss her, she nodded and the two of them kissed. It wasn't like the quick pecks in school.
They both pulled away so they could breath and they both looked at each other smiling. "You're so beautiful Emilia" he told her.
Emilia never felt beautiful even with Luca, but Antonio always found a way to make her feel good about the way she looked.
"I'm going to kiss you again " he said
"Okay"
I really don't know about this. It feels rushed but I might continue it like them getting caught or something.
What does everyone think of Antonio and Emilia, obviously they still kids so I don't want them to be like the others.
