Damon had such a smug grin on his face when they went down for dinner. He was her favourite, he wanted everyone to know that but since only half of them knew she was talking he would just have to settle for rubbing it in Dante's face.

Alesandro was back with Lexi but even Lexi couldn't get him angry. Not yet anyway.

Dinner was quite tense at least to start with. Damon couldn't help glancing at Emilia from time to time, he was still concerned about her. She was right it might just be nerves but it might also be anxiety. He worried greatly about her.

Emilia noticed it and quickly wrote down

I thought you didn't want to waste you expert stalking skills on a brat like me

She passed it to Damon who read it trying to keep a straight face, he couldn't help but smile.

"Fucking brat" he muttered, maybe a bit too loud because they all heard. After all no one spoke.

"Damon" Alesandro started about to scold him.

Lexi smiled thinking her sister was in trouble.

Emilia knew what was coming so she grabbed her notebook and quickly wrote : it's an inside joke, he didn't mean it as an insult, I was making fun of him. She got up and gave it to Alesandro who read it carefully before backing down. "Very well, Damon watch your language in the future" Alesandro had glanced at the words above about his stalking and he couldn't help smile.

Lexi really thought this was it, Damon was going to show Emilia just how weak she is.

When Emilia sat back down and continued to eat, Lexi wasn't happy. Why were they allowing her to eat? Why wasn't she getting beaten.

"Something in your mind Lexi" Mason said noticing how irritated she looked. He was growing a little suspicious.

"Not really im just feeling irritated after watching another video bullying me" she lied easily.

"How much do you want to bet a new apology video is coming out" Damon whispered to Emilia who only just managed to keep a some what straight face.

Dinner passed quickly and Damon beckoned Emilia to follow him.

"Not so fast Damon, we still need to discuss the consequences for injuring Lexi" Alesandro spoke up.

"Because I'm the big bad monster who beat my sister" Damon was snarky.

I think that title goes to Lexi. He didn't voice his thoughts.

"Everyone out" Alesandro ordered.

Damon grabbed hold of Dante's arm before he could leave "watch her, don't let her out of your sight" he whispered. Dante nodded and left.

It was finally just Alesandro and Damon. Hell soon broke loose.

Meanwhile Dante stuck with Emilia, and Lexi didn't do anything. He didn't make it too obvious as they had gone to his room and gamed.

Dante even let her play some shooting game, she forgot what he called it now but there was guns and they went round killing people. At first Dante was dead against it but Emilia had refused to play another racing or football game.

"Shoot him" Emilia said, they were both on the same team.

Dante missed on purpose letting himself be killed, he wanted to see her reaction.

"God you're a rubbish shooter, I wouldn't trust you with a real gun, you would end up shooting an innocent bystander"

Little did Emilia know she had just told one of the best shooters that he was a rubbish shooter, he wasn't fully in the Mafia but he was just as good.

Damon walked in as she spoke, he had a smile on his face "she shouldn't be playing these types of games" he said becoming serious.

"She's a natural" Dante smirked.

"Come play with us" Emilia said wanting Damon to stay.

"Alright I'll have a game, I just need to do something first"

"Fine but hurry up" Emilia said.

Imagine telling the Mafia boss to hurry up?

"Another game whilst we wait" Dante asked and Emilia nodded.

Damon was pissed especially after the conversation with their father, after checking on Emilia, he went to see Lexi.

He knocked and when he heard come in, he walked inside. A deadly expression remained on his face.

"Hello Alexia"

His tone was the deadliest yet.

After all, if you're going to mess with the Mafia boss, be prepared to face the consequences.

Everyone knew not to say or do anything that he found insulting and disrespectful.

But doing something to anger him, that was another story all together.

He stood analysing her for a good few seconds. "See I don't like liars" he said. He was messing with her now, circling her like she was his prey.

In seconds though he had her pinned against a wall. He didn't care that she was his sister, being family was irrelevant when someone had angered him.

"See you're just lashing out because you didn't want me to tell anyone what you did"

"Funny isn't it father has already given me the consequences and yet here I am, he clearly doesn't care enough to want to protect you against me" Damon taunted, their father had told him to stay away and he would after this.

He took out a pocket knife and smirked when he saw her fear.

He ran it down the side of her face, pressing a little harder when he got to her cheeks. It never pierced her skin, he made sure to be careful.

"Just remember when youre about to tell dad about this, remember how easily it would be for me to cut you right now. He's done telling me off and yet I'm still here" Damon warned, his tone was dark and sinical. He smiled when he saw her flinch. He really did enjoy seeing others in pain especially those who thought they could do something without any consequences.

"Do you understand Alexia" he asked, his tone was not one you would ignore, it was dark, murderous and held so much authority that it was impossible not to comply.

Lexi nodded.

"Then anwser me"

"Yes I understand" she whispered, tears threatened to fall.

"Are you sure because I would hate for their to be any misunderstanding between us" he said darkly with a sinical grin, putting the knife back against her cheek.

"I'm sure" she managed to get out.

"Great, after all we wouldn't want to ruin your face with some nasty scars would we" he continued pressing the knife further but no piercing the skin.

"No"

He put the knife away and released his grip on her and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have a pleasant night" he said like nothing had happened and stalked out of the room.

After some time, Damon finally went back to Dante and Emilia.

"You're back" Emilia exclaimed.

"Yes" Damon replied.

"Come play "

Damon rolled his eyes but walked towards Dante's gaming area where they were sat, unfortunately there was only two beanbag chairs and so Damon lifted Emilia up, sat on the beanbag and pulled her back down. She was only small so she fit next to him.

"You can have your own beanbag if you want and Em can sit with me" Dante suggested.

"I'm fine here" Emilia mumbled when she saw Damon was waiting for a reply.

"Yeah she's fine here with her favourite brother" Damon said smugly.

"What? No I'm her favourite aren't i" Dante replied.

"Sorry Dante, Damon is but you're my second favourite "

Dante nodded, he was a little annoyed Damon was her favourite but didn't want to give the wrong impression "I suppose second will do"

"Great let's play, I still don't agree with this game for her" Damon said.

Dante rolled his eyes and passed Damon another controller.

They soon got into the game.

"Damonnnnn stop killing me" Emilia said, this was the 6th time he had shot her.

"Aww I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again, here come kill me " he said.

She fell for it and was about to shoot him when instead, he shot her.

"That was mean"

To whined her up further, Damon went after her again, he was about to shoot when Emilia pushed him and he dropped the controller in suprise. She was quick to shoot his character.

"I did it, I shot you. You're dead" Emilia said.

"God, can you say that any happier " Damon muttered.

Before Emilia could reply to his comment, Dante had his character come up to hers and shoot her.

They continued playing for a good hour or so until Damon say Emilia was getting tired.

"She needs to go to bed" he stated"

"I'm fine"

"Emilia"

"Ok fine I'll go to bed"

"Yeah okay, Damon a word before you leave" Dante stated becoming serious now that they had stopped gaming.

"Sure, go get ready for a bed Emilia and I'll come check on you in a bit" Damon said.

"Okay"

"Goodnight em" Dante said.

"Goodnight"

Once it was just the two of them, Damon's relaxed expression seemed to dissapear.

"What is it"

"I don't want to ruin the atmosphere but I saw how you spoke when you said you had something to do. Did you speak to Lexi"

"Yes"

"You didn't hurt her did you"

"Why do you care about her all of a sudden"

"I don't care but I know what you're like"

"Whatever, I know you still believe i hit her"

"Can you blame me, after everything, I know what you're like when you get really angry"

Damon nodded feeling a slight bit of remorse. "I apologize" he said and left his room.

"Wait Damon, I'm not done" Dante called.

Damon turned and had a glare on his face "what is it now" he asked.

"Is she hurt? Did you make her cry? Oooo maybe you made her tremble in fear"

Damon looked at his brother, he was taken back by the sadistic grin, almost as if Dante was imagining it. Damon smirked as he thought back to their conversation earlier, he doubted she would be causing any more trouble.

"I didn't hurt her, I simply warned her not to blame me for such things" Damon told him and Dante grinned knowing how scary a warning could be.

Damon ignored his brother and knocked on Emilia's door.

She opened it only minutes later, she was used to getting ready quick so it only took her several minutes.

"May I come in" Damon asked.

Emilia nodded.

"Will you be okay" he asked as Emilia got into bed, she was too tired to stand.

Emilia nodded.

"What's wrong, you aren't talking" Damon asked, already thinking the worst.

"I'm okay, just easier to nod"

"Okay, you can talk to me about anything you know" he told her whilst tucking her in.

Emilia hesitated "even the bad stuff" she whispered.

"Especially the bad stuff" Damon said, hoping they were getting somewhere.

"Maybe another day" she mumbled.

"Okay whenever you're ready I'll be here" Damon said knowing not to push her.

"Thank you" she was starting to drift.

"Damon" she mumbled

"Yeah"

"You're better when your like this, you're funny too" she told him.

Damon smiled "thank you Emilia" she would no doubt be asleep in seconds.

"I'm still not happy you killed me"

Damon was amused by this "I let you kill me after though" he countered.

"Still not fair, I guess your better at the game than Dante, he missed so many times before you came. If you guys had a real gun, Dante would miss everything he aims at and you would would get so distracted you would just drop the gun"

Damon was insulted by this, she had basically told him he didn't know how to use a gun or at least he would use it poorly.

She was unaware she had told the Mafia boss he wouldn't be able to handle a gun.

She was the only one who could get away with a comment like that. If anyone else said that he would have used them as target practice and shown them how he used a gun.

But instead he smiled "Goodnight Emilia"
