the unwanted twin

chapter 42

It had been a week since Damon and Alesandro left. Alesandro had business meetings regarding his restaurants and Damon had to personally go and rectify the business deal, since the papers were destroyed, he looked incompetent so he had gone there in person.

Mason was left responsible for his younger siblings, mainly the twins because Dante and Matteo could look after themselves. That being said, they were irresponsible at times.

Dante stuck to Emilia, Damon had even warned him not to leave her alone.

It had been around a month maybe just under since the girls got here so they were still unaware of what Lexi was truly capable off.

Lexi had been quiet, maybe she had learnt her lesson especially after Damon's warning before he left.

A week earlier.

"Sleep well" Damon asked when he saw his sister open her eyes. He had gotten a call in the early hours that he had to go to London so he made sure to warn Lexi again before leaving.

He had warned her a day or so ago and she had been afraid to even look at him since.

There dad had left late last night, it happened so quickly that they only had around 10 minutes to say goodbye until he left for the airport.

He had chosen to wake the girls up whilst his brothers were having breakfast downstairs.

Lexi's eyes widened at the sight of her brother in her room
"You shouldn't be in here"

"Why not, I'm only here to wake you up for school" Damon said.

"It's weird and creepy " she stated but one look from him shut her up.

Damon was well aware of the boundaries and stuff like that, after all since the girls came he no longer carried too many weapons around, only a select few,  but he didn't see a problem with waking his sister up for school.

He ignored her comment and started "I hope you did sleep well because it's the only place you are safe, see I'm going away for a few days and I would hate to find out you ripped another document up" he said as he opened her curtains.

His actions came across as normal, like he was just waking her up but his words promised no good intentions.

"You have such lovely things Alexia" he said as he looked at her desk.
The words may appear as a compliment but his tone only held the promise of bad intentions.
"It would be a real shame if something happened, don't you think" he asked as he looked through a little photo album she had.

They were all of her, Alice and Henry. It concerned him how there was none of Emilia. He didn't know what had gone on with Emilia, he didn't really know she had been abused to such extent, he knew there was some hatred there and some trauma but he was unaware how bad.

"You can't do that, I'll tell dad" she said.

"Oh yeah watch me" he picked a random photo up, he was about to tear it when she rushed over and grabbed it off him.

He menacingly got closer to her, looking at her with no love. "Must I remind you that you can't win. Dad isn't here and look how well it turned out for you a few days ago. He was here, he didn't do shit. I can do whatever the hell I want" Damon said and again he brought out the knife.

"See you're up now my dear sister so let me tell you this. I can get to you wherever you are, even in here, your 'personal space'. You cross me and we will have trouble. If whilst I'm gone and you touch what is precious to me, I won't hesitate to destroy what's precious to you. Maybe I'll let you watch up close as I burn that album, although we will have to be careful, accidents happen all the time when you get too close to a fire " his voice laced with venom, his threats were no joke and it would be wise to listen to him.
