Emilia

chapter 54

Emilia felt bad. She knew she shouldn't be doing it but she felt she had to know the truth.

She was suprised how easily it was to get out. If they were part of the Mafia wouldn't they have tighter security.

And the truth was the family did have security. High tech security. They liked their privacy so they only had guards about when there was a threat, the rest of the time the outer building such as the gate had facial recognition, if the person wasn't recognised then it would set off an alarm.

And of course their was security cameras outside and maybe one or two inside but Alesandro didn't want his kids feeling like they were being monitored so he only had a few inside.

After managing to get out she was unsure what to do but she had managed to get out so she continued with her plan.

They lived in a nice area so it took a while to reach the rough area.

Did she really want to know?
Yes.
No.
Yes.

She couldn't make her mind up.

This was a stupid idea and she wished she could turn back but the moment she heard the gun shots she froze.

Her dad would be so disappointed if he knew.

And Damon. He went into a coma rescuing her from bad people. She was putting herself in this situation this time.

She felt guilty and stupid.

"That's your warning. The only reason you're not dead is because the boss wants his money" a cold voice snapped.
Footsteps could be heard and Emilia freaked out and tried to run only she ran into a man.

"Looks like we got ourselves a witness. Boss won't be happy" he said to two men who had their face covered with a balaclava.
"She's just a kid take her to the cells"  one of them said not wanting the death of a kid on his hands.

"Aren't the cells occupied but I suppose she's around the same age as the other one bet he'd love to torture this one too"  the man who had got her replied.

"No please I'm sorry I didn't see anything. I won't tell" she was stupid to come up with this idea.

"We need to call him though. He doesn't like not knowing " the one who hadn't spoken yet said.

The one holding her nodded, he didn't want to be on the bosses bad side. Of course they only had his work number so when they rang he didn't anwser at first.

Not far from the spot Damon was in a bar, he wasn't drinking but he liked the 'scenery' so it was one of his favourite places. He was in a good mood until he received a call from some men who he knew were out on the job. At first he ignored it not wanting to leave but after the second call he was annoyed and pushed the girl away and walked out of the bar to anwser.

"What is it" he was annoyed that he had to leave.
"We have a witness. Should we kill or send to the cells"

Damon grew even more annoyed. Witnesses were never good.

"Kill them" Damon practically shouted.

"I didn't see anything. Please, I'm sorry"

The voice sounded familiar and Damon had a bad feeling about it. "Wait. What's your location I'll come clean up your mess, don't kill the witness" he said not wanting to kill whoever it was without knowing who it was.

Once he had the location, he parked a few blocks away, pulled on the balaclava and went to find his men.

He stopped in his tracks when he saw Emilia.

No. He was seeing things. Emilia was safe and asleep.

His eyes told a different story though. She was here. Thank god he heard her beg or he would have just given his men the order to kill his sister.

"Why are you out so late" he changed his voice into the cold hearted mafia leader and it came out muffled and a strong accent so she couldn't recognise his voice.

"Here she is boss. Want me to do the honours" the man said and pushed her towards Damon.

"Get out of my sight" he switched to Italian.

The three guys nodded and ran off.

Damon was glad he had chosen to keep his face hidden.

"I suggest you go back home before I change my mind and kill you" he warned keeping up the Mafia tone and threat.

"Are you the boss" she whispered.

Damon nodded.

"Why do you keep your face hidden" she whispered. She was terrified but also interested. She was feeling a little relieved though, the man in front of her was dressed in black and at first glance it did look like Damon with a balaclava but he spoke much harsher and his tone wasn't Damon's at all.

Damon on the other hand was getting a little annoyed.

He was in no mood to entertain her questions.

"To stop little girls like you running to their parents and telling them my identity. Now run along before you end up on the morning news. Dead."

Emilia didn't waste anymore time and quickly left. Once he was sure she was gone Damon headed back to his car.

He knew she wouldn't get too far so he grabbed his gym bag and quickly took off his shirt and stuffed it in his gym bag and replaced it with a hoodie. He was in one of the cars that he strictly didn't bring home as he didn't want anyone tracking him but he couldn't just leave Emilia to wander the streets but he couldn't take this car. She had really pissed him off.

He took out his phone and called his dad.

"I swear to god Damon whatever stupid thing you have done it can wait until morning" his dad said after picking up the phone.

"Not me. Emilia. Got caught by my men. She's fucking lucky to be alive. I sent her on her way but I can't bring this car home and I can't go and switch cars. I don't think she has gotten far so I'm going to go get her. Can you come pick us up" Damon explained.

Alesandro wasn't happy but agreed "just give me a location when you get her. I can't believe she would do something so irresponsible" he snapped as he started getting up.

After the quick conversation, Damon had one of his men come and collect the car and whilst the streets were empty and their was no street cameras he took off the mask. He then quickly went in the direction Emilia had gone. It had only been 10 minutes so he didn't expect her to go far. He was right. He quickly caught up to her in the streets. He noticed there was a 24 hour diner nearby and figured he would take her there until their dad picked them up.

He reached out and put his hand on her shoulder.

She flinched "I'm sorry I didn't see anything"  she said.

"I don't fucking care Emilia. What you have done was stupid and reckless" Damon was pissed.

"Damon" she said confused why he was here.

"Don't Damon me. You're in big trouble. You have no idea how stupid you were
Why are you out here? Was it to see your little boyfriend or maybe you're into illegal shit now"

"I'm sorry" she tried to hug him.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it this time Emilia. Now start walking. We are going to go wait in a diner for dad" he didn't allow her the hug. He was too annoyed.

"It was stupid I know but I'm sorry Damon"

"I don't want to hear it. Get walking" he was pissed off with her and how reckless she had been but he was also annoyed at how he could have been responsible for her death.

"Damon"

"No Emilia" and he grabbed her arm and started walking at his usual fast pace she was only keeping up because he had hold of her arm.
