the unwanted twin

chapter 38

There was a knock on Emilia's door, she was going back out anyway, she suspected it was Damon but when she opened it she was a little suprised to see Dante.
"Weren't you talking with Damon" she whispered.
"Yes, he just wanted to check in with Matteo and Lexi"
"How come" Emilia asked, knowing he never usually did.
"Well there was a bit of bullying today" Dante shrugged, he and Damon had been the ones to start it.

The truth was, Damon had to act like he cared so his father wouldn't discover it was them who were responsible, it was easier for Damon to track down who sent the messages but their dad could do it if he saw nothing was being done.
And Damon wanted that email sent before all was revealed.

"Let's go watch TV, Damon will be back soon"

And he was, not long into the TV show, Damon joined them, he didn't say much.

After they finished watching TV, Alesandro who had come home about an hour ago called them for dinner as it would be ready soon. "Go wash up for dinner" Alesandro told Emilia, he wanted a word with Dante so he had to get Emilia out of the room.

Emilia went to her room like instructed but she was shocked to see one of Damon's work files ripped up and scattered over the floor.
She thought of how angry he was at Dante and her eyes widened "he's going to kill me" she muttered.

She picked it all up and placed it in a box on her desk. She started to panic not knowing what to do.

There was a knock on her door and she dreaded opening the door, thankfully it was Mason and not Damon.
"Dinner is ready" he said bluntly.
He paused for a moment as he turned to leave. "You look like hell, are you not any better, I can get Damon if you want"
Emilia quickly grabbed her notebook and said she was fine. She wasn't fine. Damon would get angry and hurt her.

They went down for dinner and Emilia couldn't help but smile when Alesandro placed a plate of pasta in front of her "enjoy bambina" he whispered and took a seat.

"Where's Alexia" he asked no one in particular.

"I'm here, sorry I was late dad, the pasta looks amazing" Lexi entered the dinning room much to her two brothers displeasure.

"What the hell is that" Alesandro asked, he was more concerned about the bruise around her eye.

"Oh. It's nothing, I'm sorry I tried to cover it " Lexi said.

"Don't be sorry, I want to know who did it and don't even think about lying" Alesandro was pissed. Sure his daughter was a little....well it didn't matter, she was still his daughter

"Damon"

And that's when the commotion started.

"I didn't touch you" Damon defended.

"I'm not lying I swear" Lexi cried.

"Are you hurt anywhere else" Mason asked this time.

Lexi hesitated but nodded and lifted her top up slightly to reveal a bruise on her ribs "he kicked me" she whispered.

"Bullshit" Damon said.

"Maybe you got so angry you didn't realize what you were doing" Alesandro said sharply.

"Yeah, you do get pretty angry at times" Dante muttered. He hated Lexi but as much as he did, he knew he couldn't bring himself to get physical with his own sister but he knew when seriously angry, Damon didnt consider family a issue stopping him.

Emilia looked over at Damon. He was so nice and friendly but she couldn't ignore the fact he had anger issues. Maybe he snapped when he went to talk to her earlier. But he was so nice, he didn't ever show to have any malicious intentions but she had seen and heard how angry he could be.
