✨Emilia's POV

My body was shaking forcing my eyes to pulse and jump my arms up from the warm comfort of my bed like I was prepared for battle. . The movie was still playing and Felix had his arm laced around my waist with his fluffy headed hair on my tummy. If I moved quickly there would be a sharp pain in my ribs since I hadn't asked Axel if anything was wrong with them.

They weren't as bad as they were before but they were a deep purple with a fusion of royal blue too. I was mostly sure they weren't broken - they were bruised I think. Obviously.

"Dinner," Elijah tells me but I was still zoned out from my napping session. Lifting the covers, I expose Felix to the cold air causing him to release a hefty growl of frustration.

"Felix," I push his shoulder.

"Mshmhmm," his floppy arm hung over the bed which trapped me under him since he was enjoying his time squashing me.

"Felix!" I slap his arm so he gets up but he remained sat up right on my bed with his head in his hands. Gosh, and I thought I was stubborn.

"He'll come down, c'mon you need to help me set the table," slipping my crocs on - so fashionable right - I run behind Elijah at a moderate pace whilst holding the side of my body to ensure I don't hurt my ribs.

"Is he your uhh..." he coughs into his palm and looks back at a droopy Felix who was trudging across the floor dragging his feet.

I immediately knew what he was talking about. But I shake my head in a disappointment at the sad reality.

I was also sad about the fact that I'd only slept for around two hours just before dinner so my energy levels were on a rollercoaster at the moment. After I sleep I'm never hungry so I didn't have the right appetite to eat a big meal right now.

"Oh Val you didn't have to set the table, me and Em we're gonna do it," Lijah and i take a seat next to each other in front of all of the set plates and cutlery.

"You're too slow! Be quick next time!" She whips Elijah on the back with her apron three times and waddles to the kitchen in her pumps.

"Yes ma'am!"

"Smells good," Felix sniffs up rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He takes the other available seat next to me and holds my hand under the table. His thumb was tracing circles over the top of my hand which left a tingling sensation in the area when he sadly stopped.

Don't swoon. Don't swoon.

We both zone out of reality for a few minutes. He kept on touching the cigarette scar from Shawn and pressing onto it lightly.

Then, he brings my arm up to his soft, peachy and plump lips and twists it to kiss the spot where my scar was ever so gently. He does this three times then takes my hands back in his again. "Looks badass."

After everyone makes their way in with trays of food, Mia and Axel arrive late with masses of shopping bags curbed to their arms. Axel's mostly. Mia was too busy rubbing her tummy and stuffing her face with potatoes not taking notice of the rest of the people sat around us.

April joined us also, she came in with the brightest smile like she always does and sat right beside Alessandro and leaned into his touch.

She's way too good for his maliciousness. She was sweet and light in every aspect of life and Alessandro was bitter and dark - full of secrets.

"Did you ever think about getting an abortion. I'm not trying to be rude. Like, you're both very young are you sure you're both ready to have a child?" Sensible Diego asks the couple drawing their attention to him.

"Sorry... that was random but I just wanted to know your thoughts when you found you know..." he explains himself. Justification of what he just said because it didn't sound right. It sounded like he wanted the child to be aborted.

"Umm no. I'm sure we're ready. We have the money to help raise the baby so we're fine," Mia giggles and looks at the bags by the door.

"Money doesn't equal effective parenting, I've learnt from experience," Blade remarks suggesting to Romeo he wasn't the best dad. I don't think this is the safest environment for a baby. Guns and violence isn't the safest grounds for a baby to be brought up on is it?

"True, but we have much support so we can get through it. Abortion was never on the table because we feel like we're ready. Right baby?" Mia stuffs her face with more cheesy potatoes and pasta. Slow down, you're drowning the baby. Axel nods with his mouth full of port.

"As it shouldn't be. You shouldn't kill a baby, give ur a chance to live," Romeo tells Axel and Mia but Axel didn't seem comfortable with what Romeo said for some reason.

What was it he was suggesting? Please don't tell me he's pro life for a clump of cells. Probably lot a clump of cells now because it's grown more but c'mon. Yikes, he's homophobic and pro life? He has really failed at life.

"What are you saying?" I ask him with my nose scrunched ugly like. He disgusts me.

"It's a child. Even though abortion was never on the table like Mia said, it's still a child and I never want you to ever think about abortion again, Diego. No, not ever," he points a strict finger to Diego and he holds his hands up in surrender.

"Eh? Why? It ain't even alive." Blade asks finishing his drink then leans over the table to get the jug of apple juice.

"It's wrong." Romeo states.

Who are you exactly? Get gone you old brat.

"I didn't know you had a uterus," Blade comments under his breath. All I heard was the truth coming from his mouth.

What gives Romeo the right to tell a woman what to do with her body if he hasn't got a uterus himself?

"It's just my opinion. Don't need a uterus to have one," Romeo shrugs. Maybe he should be quiet.

"True. But you shouldn't have an opinion on something you don't have. No uterus then you have no opinion," Blade responds to him smartly flicking a pea into his causing him to flinch.

Felix was trying to contain his laughters at the hard tension at the table but they were coking out in bubbles so he had to squeeze my hand extra tight.

"Why am I not allowed an opinion? I don't think you should kill a potential life. It's disgusting-

"So is your ignorance," April notifies him with a finger wobbling up and down suggesting to his entire body.

Yes! For some reason I felt the need to be quiet and avoid the attention to myself because I've had enough drama in the last few days with Rain so I'll pass this over to April.

"You absolute tosser." Blade laughs with intent of offending Romeo with a slight giggle.

"How so?"

"Nah you're actually an absolute spanner mate. It ain't your body so you need to shut up, you can have an opinion it doesn't mean it's valid because you can't decide what a woman does to her body," Blade glowered with a hint of humour.

"Why can't a man have a say in it?!" He flares his arms.

"Because you aren't a woman. Simple point blank shut the fûck up you dipshît," Diego declared, picking up his dish and walking out the room and slamming it shut behind him.

"I just know it's smaller than a peanut," April pinches her fingers together to show the size she predicts.

Oh. Well that's strange.

"It's big enough to make seven kids," he remarks spitefully and gestures to us.

"Three." I correct him but instantly regret it by covering my mouth and looking straight at the floor.

I'm in trouble I think so I best shut my mouth. Though a part of me was quite ambiguous on who my dad was, there was a part of me that was hoping it wasn't Romeo.

"What?" Alessandro asks completely confused. I dismiss him.

"Romeo?" I pull in his attention so he stops eating.

"Yeah?"

"What would you have done if I was pregnant?" He knew what I meant. What if Shawn and Michael and Tate never stopped. I wasn't fertile then but I'm saying if I was fertile and they did take it farther, would he still expect me to give birth.

"When did you have- oh."

"And you'd still expect me to give birth despite the fact I might die? What's worth more? Your kid or some random cells that haven't developed yet? Not in Mia's case of course."

Would he want me to die and give up my life potentially for a baby? Call me selfish, I'll never brith something I don't want.

"No words? Thought so, silly wanker."

"Stay out of women's business," April commands him so he bows his head in shame.

Men. Ugh.

************

"Would you like to come to work with me today? Mike isn't there so you should be fine," Alessandro offers with April int he passenger seat waiting for him.

Maybe I can see and Marci and Darci again but it means going back there and it makes me uncomfortable. But like isn't there so I should be fine.

Hold on, how did Ally know about what happened? Did Blade tell? I felt embarrassed that he knows but whatever I guess.

"Umm sure. Lemme get my slippers," I run back in the house and slip on someone's slippers that were way too big for me and kept slipping from my feet.

Shoes are overrated anyway.

Running as smoothly as I can without slipping around, I climb into the back seat and strap myself in and huff in relief. The back seats were much colder so I rubbed my palms together to try and create warmth whilst the heaters warmed up the car.

"Why am I allowed to come anyways?"

"Everyone is at work today and I don't want to leave you in the house in your own," he begins driving at a moderate speed and listens to the traffic.

"What about val?"

"She's on a date with some German guy I think so I'm not sure. Go Valentina!" Ally cheers with a raised fist with low grunts of hilarity.

When we are at the building that towers monstrously above London, the chapstick bubblegum bîtch stabs her pen down viciously on the desk signalling to Alessandro.

"Sign in!"

This woman needs to chill the heck out. What's so important about signing in anyways? Why did he so passionate about people signing in? It is some kind of ritual?

"Sorry, Bethany," Alessandro types a quick form on the iPad displayed to him by 'Bethany.'

After scribbling in his ugly signature, he takes April's hand and leads her out back, passing all of the offices until we're in the same dimly lit room. It really was a man cave with one woman already in there: aspen.

The majority of my brothers were already there lounging around on the sofas or writing somethings down in their notepads like they were at school whereas Aspen was just sat lazily with her legs bridging over Blade's legs.

Her.

"Hi, Em!" She waves at me but looks away when Blade shakes his head and moves her legs from his.

Do I wave back? It's all so awkward and miserable now I'm scared to utter a word.

"Bambina, I need to go with Elijah and Axel to go somewhere for a bit. I'll be back in an hour," Ally kisses my cheek and prepares to take off.

He kissed Felix.

"Where are you going?" I whisper and tug on his arm.

"A meeting underground," is all the information I get before he runs out of the door with my two other brothers following behind.

Underground? What? In hell?

Darci pats a space next to him for me to sit but there was another girl maybe two years above me who was shaking like she was cold.

Sneaking, I squeeze between Darci and the girl and thats when I realise the girl wasn't here with Darci. She was with the bald man who had his hand dangerously high on her thigh. The poor girl looked so uncomfortable.

"I'm Emilia," I hold a hand out but she was shaking too much to grasp it.

"You?" I ask for her name.

"One-hundred and thirty-six" [136]

"What? What's your name?" I ask her again to lighten the mood but she replies with the same answer as before. What kind of name is that? I've heard of the name 'four' or 'seven' before but never an abnormally large number like that.

Oh.

"I'll call you Nummie, short for number if that's okay?"

She nods in agreement.

"How old are you? I'm 13- oops, I meant 14." I laugh off my mistake because I still forgot my age way too often. It's weird how Felix is fifteen in a months time. I can't wait for it!

"Sixteen," she stammers and builds up the shaking courage to shake my hand that was throbbing. She was so thin and frail. Pale skin and even dark eye bags that indented her face structure. I was more concerned over what she was wearing.

Taking into consideration her age and her fright, I know she didn't want to be dressed the way she is. A short, extremely short, baby pastel pink dress with ribbons and black stockings.

"Daddy will be back soon," she stiffens when he touches her bony shoulder and squeezes her neck for a moment to get a bourbon drink.

I feel sick to my stomach.

"Excuse me?" I ask him but he looks at me I'm bewilderment.

"Yeah? What's wrong, girlie?"

Blade from across the room coughs so i stare at him intently, he shakes his head as a command.

Something inside of me felt like saying something to Blade but I knew he didn't like this as much as I didn't like it either.

"When did you get her?" Another baldy asks.

"Bought her two nights ago. She's a good girl isn't she?" He draws a finger down the crevice of her jutting cheekbones as an attempt to be seductive. She closed her eyes ready for impact. "She's always a good girl for daddy."

"Kinky little shît," Aspen laughs. Does it look like I'm laughing?! Huh?!

"Please tell me it's not just me who finds it weird how fifty year old men can get hard from treating young girls like literal babies? Isn't that like pedôphilia or something?!" April takes the other seat beside the girl, moving the baldy away from the girl to make her feel safer.

Good point.

"Like... if a grown man is going out of his way to make a sixteen year old girl dress like a five year old because it's some weird shit you're into then just admit you like to prey on children!" I could feel the anger radiating from April's body.

It's not sexy, it's weird. No judgements on what you're into as long as it's consensual of course. But when she's clearly scared and shaking with fear with black bruises all over her body then it's a problem. Make consent key, this girl clearly didn't consent to anything.

She made valid points. That's crazy to think about it Im honest.

"I like children? Nah. She's just a good bang, too innocent for her own good. Works on my behalf though am I right boys?" he laughs lowly with the other men which gave me the shivers.

"She's sixteen. Barely scraping the age consent limit. You're making her dress like this, you're referring to yourself as daddy. You want her innocent. Sounds a lot like children if you ask me. I dunno but you guys are all nasty," April's body hurls forward as she gips, almost throwing up for real.

"Did she consent to this life style?" April looks quickly a few times between Nummie and baldy for an answer. The girls just silently shakes her head 'no' and April's face falters in despair.

Being in the same room as this guy made me feel just unsafe in my own body. My skin was crawling.

Though, I was more disappointed in Alessandro. He said he'd try and stop this but it looks like he didn't even try with the looks of it.

"C-can I have water?" She begged and pleaded me with praying hands. This shatters my heart to see her so vulnerable and frightened.

Standing up, I look back at Nummie for a split second to ensure the wicked man didn't take my space. He was too busy enduring in television on the wall. A replay of an old football game on the tv.

Walking around the bar, I hiss is pain and inhale sharply when my already sore and agonisingly crippled ribs puncture into the squared corner of the bar.

Oooh this felt more way worse than stubbing your toe on the corner of a wall. I was trying to compose myself but I felt a bead of sweat fall from my brow. It truly felt like the corner had pierced my delicate skin so I lift my shirt to examine it.

No blood, just a darkened area with contrasted my pale skin to the purple and murky green bruise that covered the entire side of my left ribs.

"That looks painful," Darci comments and touches his with his rough hands and I smack them away.

"It is painful," I roll my shirt back down and retrieve the cold bottle of water from the mini fridge below the counter.

"How did that happen?" He follows me back Nummie and watches as she unscrew the cap and swallows the entire bottle in under a minute.

She need more than just water, she needed food and nutrients.

"None of your business." Just as I was about to fall back into my position, Darci moves me out of the way to take my seat. He was laughing like I was joking.

Don't make me hate you. You're a good guy.

"I finished my work!" Luca jumps up in excitement as he waves the scruffy work he did in front of Blade's eyes like an achievement. Everyone else had finished the work before him so he was left behind.

There was no more spaces for me to sit other than I'm between Blade and Aspen but I could already smell the repulsing tension in the air. Who cares.

"Hi," Aspen mutters. I could only afford a weak and awkward smile at this point so I offered it to her.

Leaning to the side, I cradle Blade's arm in the snug space of mine and rest my eyes shut. An environment like this makes it difficult to even get a second of good sleep.

"Blade, I asked Josh if he was finally going to come in today but he said no," Diego reads from the screen of his phone which had me thinking. Was Josh actually apart of this madness it was he scared? J mean if I was to be in his position then I would be too. Or is he just lazy?

"Why not?"

"He's way too high and stoned so he can't drive he says. It's his own fault," Diego shoved the phone back into his pockets and sighs letting his body flop back recklessly.

Nothing surprises me anymore. When you're surrounded by these people all the time to expectations of humans disappear into oblivion.
