Monday

The four siblings parted ways, each going to their own friend group after entering school.

"Emmy" Sophia called as she raced towards Emilia and tightly hugged her.

"I was so worried. Are you okay?" She continued.

Emilia smiled and nodded. "Oh thank goodness, I told the others you weren't feeling too good I hope that's okay. You didn't miss much, Evan, Lucy and Hailey are worried, Antonio he kinda knows it wasn't just a cold, he's worried too" Sophia said.

They went to their lockers which were close by.

As they were stood at Sophia's locker after getting books from Emilia's, Matteo and Damon came over.

Sophia gulped, her brothers were scary.

"Hi" Matteo said with a smile.

Emilia waved slightly and Matteo smiled further. "Who's your friend? I'm Matteo and you are?" He asked them.

"Sophia"

Matteo and Dante seemed total oppersites, Matteo was smiling whilst Dante had an ureadable expression.

"Enough small talk Matteo. Emilia we came over as we were wondering if you are going out after school tonight "

Emilia was confused, why would he ask that?

She quickly wrote her reply.

Where would I go

"Oh right my mistake, we just wanted to check since you haven't been to school and we thought you would like to catch up with your friends"

Sophia took this as an opportunity to jump in.

"Yes. That means you can come to the cafe with us"

"Great. Here" Dante handed her some money and walked off.

He took out his phone and quickly messaged Damon

Em is with friends after school.

The day continued on as normal, lunch time soon came and that's when the fun began.

Dante like always had a different cheerleader fawning over him. He didn't care for her but he allowed her to believe she had a chance.

"You know, I heard that table over there, they keep saying how desperate you are. That isn't good is it" Dante said pointing to Lexi's table.

The cheerleader was pissed "isn't that your sisters table though"

"It is but are you really going to let them insult you, first it's insults thrn the whole school will see you as a week target and next thing you know you're a social outcast"

This upset the cheerleader greatly and she had her friends follow her to the table.

Dante snickered, the girls were all the same and he didn't mind maniplating them to get his way.

It worked better than expected. He didn't know what was said but the cheerleaders looked pissed and Lexi was the first to stand, he heard her comment "do you know who I am, my brothers would not be happy"

The cheerleader who was clung to him before made sure to be extra loud "I don't care who your brother's are, I'm not fucking desperate, if anything you are bitch" and she picked up Lexi's milkshake and threw it on her.

Everyone laughed, Dante even took pictures. He was quick to send them to Damon.

Dante

Look what happened (insert picture)

Damon

Just seen. Good work getting Emilia out and what the hell happened.

Dante

Clingy cheerleaders are easy to manipulate.

Damon

Dont you have a second Instagram account?

Dante

Are you serious?

Damon

Yes. Do it!

Dante smirked as he got to work. He looked up and saw Matteo had come to her rescue, he rolled his eyes and continued posting the picture.

Dante had two Instagram accounts, one was his proper one and his other was one that no one knew who it was. His identity remained annoymous however he still had 1000s of followers and pretty much everyone in the school followed him on both accounts.

He posted the picture on the account no one knew who he was.

It didn't matter that people would know he was in the cafeteria, the students following him already worked out the account belonged to a student and dozens of people were taking pictures.

Dante

Done (insert screenshot)

Damon

Fantastic

Dante

It's getting likes already, some people have even started a hashtag😂😂😂

Damon

See, my ideas are better. Mention her in a comment!

Dante

Wouldn't it be obvious

Damon

Do it!!

Dante laughed, Damon certainly had a way of messing with people. He could be worse than Dante at times.

As per request he tagged/mentioned her and then wrote 'you are meant to drink it not wear it'.

Whilst this was going on, Emilia couldn't help but smile as all her friends laughed at the incident play out.

"That was amazing" Lucy said.

Evan nodded "I recorded it"

"Oh god, play it back, I want to watch it again"

Antonio noticed Emilia wasn't as out going as usual, not that she was in the first place but she was more this time. "You okay" he whispered.

Emilia looked to him and nodded. They always seemed to sit next each other, she would sit in the middle of Sophia and Antonio. Sofia was bubbly and energetic and Antonio was good at spotting when she wasn't okay.

"I hear you're coming to the cafe with us after school. Maybe we can make it a regular thing" Antonio said speaking louder to change the subject.

"Oh yeah definitely, we usually go on Mondays to catch up from the weekend if we don't meet up, and Fridays after school" Sofia said, she was excited for Emilia to come tonight.

Emilia nodded and wrote a reply

I'll ask tonight.

She was looking forward to tonight, she hadn't had friends in the past so this was all new to her, she just hoped Alesandro or Damon would let her.

She had gotten closer with Alesandro after they spent most of Sunday together, she was still on edge talking to him and needed to use her notebook most of the time. Despite this, she found it easier to talk to Damon even when he scared her with his anger.

It all was down to Alesandro being her father, that was the problem. Henry was suppose to be her 'father' and he did so much to her.

So she found Damon easier than Alesandro. Of course Dante was the easiest to talk to but she knew it had to be Alesandro or Damon to decide if she could.

By the end of the day everyone was laughing at Lexi and she was pissed.

Dante had met Emilia and told her that their dad would pick her up whenever she is ready. He also told her to get dinner and then he asked if she saw the picture going around.

Emilia felt bad so she had nodded at the question which pleased Dante.

When they got home, Dante realized Damon was still at work. He had no idea what Damon had planned but he would go with it.

He checked his second account again and saw Lexi had replied

Lexi:

Don't you have anything better to do then take pictures of kids.

This pissed Dante off.

Dante:

Plenty of things to do but you know I could be younger or the same age as you.

Lexi knew this,it was a shot in the dark to guess the age.

They then had a little online argument, Lexi had no idea she was arguing with Dante.

Damon came back and went straight to his office, Dante looked up when the door opened, he had been waiting in Damon's office.

"What are you doing in here" Damon asked.

"Having a arguement with Lexi but she doesn't know it's me" Dante said.

Damon rolled his eyes but looked over at the comment section.

He rolled his eyes and grabbed Dante's phone.

He quickly sent a reply

Know your place, you worthless attention seeking bitch, you are clearly beneath me.

He handed the phone back and left the room "where are you going" Dante asked following him.

"Out, I'll be back at dinner" Damon said.

Dinner time

Alesandro and Emilia were both thankfully still out.

Matteo was talking to Lexi and it irritated Dante, she could just sit there like nothing happened.

"Why are you so annoyed" Mason asked in a whisper so the other two didn't hear.

"She's so whiney" Dante muttered. She was currently telling Matteo how hurt she was from today's events.

Mason laughed "her voice will do that to you" he muttered.

Dante smirked, he didn't get the chance to reply though because Damon walked in.

"Where have you been" Matteo asked.

"Out"

Everyone knew not to ask anymore questions.

Dinner went on with a little tention until Dante and Damon finally had enough of Lexi talking and laughing like she had done no wrong.

"Dante did you borrow my knives" Damon asked.

This shocked Matteo and Mason as dad and Damon made it clear any mafia talk shouldn't be done in front of the twins.

"Why? Can't you find them" Dante said playing along.

"I only found two of them" and even Dante was suprised when Damon produced two of his knives and put them on the table.

Damon and Dante knew their scheme was working. Yesterday they caused her fear, caused her imagination to run wild with all the terrible things that could be done to her, today they ruined her social life and now Damon was showing her just how deadly he could be.

Mason and Matteo had no idea what was going on but they silently watched in interest.

"Nah I haven't got them, are you sure you didn't leave them in one of your victims" Dante replied.

This caused Mason and Matteo's eyes to widen and Matteo to choke.

"Is this really an appropriate dinner conversation" Mason asked.

Damon shot mason a look which meant 'yeah now keep quiet' and then continued his conversation with Dante.

"You know what, I think you might be right? The guy deserved it though, he couldn't stop insulting me, even dared bring Emilia into it. I suppose these two will do for now " he said. There was no victim, and certainly not one who would even consider insulting Damon.

Damon had casually slipped Emilia into it to show Lexi how deadly he could be.

"I think they are sharp enough" he said pretending to inspect them.

"Hm I'm not sure Damon" Dante replied.

"Guys I need a second opinion, Dante is unsure " Damon asked the table, his attention was on everyone now.

Although they were having a private conversation, they made sure it was done loud enough for the others to hear.

"Yeah they are fine" Mason replied.

"Yeah what he said" Matteo added.

Damon nodded and with a sinister grin he turned to Lexi "how about you Lexi, do they look sharp enough" he asked, he stared at her with a evil glint in his eyes as he spoke.

Lexi gulped and nodded fast.

"Excellent" Damon said in a overly cheery voice.

"Don't you think youre a little to protective" Dante asked.

"I don't think I am protective enough. Since Emilia can't talk she won't tell me if someone hurt her or in that guys and your case, insulted her so I have to make sure they don't get a chance to do anything" he replied not taking his eyes of Lexi but he made sure to mess with the knives as he spoke.

Lexi gulped, she began to fear the worst. Did Damon know?

"Okay fine I'm sorry for last night just don't do anything rash" Dante said. He noticed Lexi's fear but he also saw she suspected. He wanted to have more fun with her before they confronted her.

Damon realised his plan and turned his attention to Dante "yes you little shit, you're fucking lucky I had someone else to take my anger out on. I won't accept that behaviour. Ever again. In fact I think we should have another talk in my office after dinner just to remind you"

"E ragazzi, se avete il coraggio di raccontare a papà oa Emilia cosa è successo, non sarò felice"

He couldn't let their father or Emilia know as both wouldn't be happy about it. He had no doubt Lexi could complain to their dad but he took that risk. It's not like Lexi knew of the Mafia and she was clearly to scared to talk.

Lexi sighed with relief, thinking he was still pissed with Dante, he didn't know.

She felt stupid for thinking he knew, Damon clearly didn't believe a word Dante said and it's not like he had any proof. Emilia couldn't talk, even Damon said she couldn't tell him if someone hurt her.

She was in the clear and she could continue her plan.

Both Dante and Damon sat with a drink in Damon's office. Dante's laptop was open and they were just waiting for a terrified email.

"That was brilliant " Dante commented.

"I'm pretty sure she will understand the message" Damon said.

"Most definitely. We could ruin her further you know"

"What do you have in mind, we already got her terrified of me and damaged her socially"

Dante thought for a minute before he started laughing, Damon looked at him with concern.

"Oh god, is it that bad" Damon asked.

Dante nodded with a evil smirk.

"What if you were to hack into the prison system and send an email from Henry's account" Dante suggested. He wasn't smart enough to do it but Damon was.

Damon smiled "you mean an email like this" he said and showed him a picture of one of the computers at the warehouse. He had already hacked into the computer system and had an email ready to send, making it look like it was from Henry. He had it saved in the drafts but had taken a picture of it.

He had only written five words in that email and as Dante read it his grin grew, he knew Damon was the devil himself.

"Damn, you're a evil genius" Dante stated.

"I am quite proud of it, I haven't sent yet as I figured we would wait a bit and also see what she tells him tonight"

Dante nodded. Bringing Damon in was the best idea.

Dante had only accomplished, leaving Lexi terrified because the brother who hates her warned her against Damon, he told her what he thought he was capable of and left her wondering two thing.

If Damon did all that just for an insult what would he do to me.

If Dante the brother who never agrees with Damon, the brother who always fights him is finally acknowledging defeat, what did Damon do

He had made her social popularity fall today but Damon had been the one to suggest social media, he had been the one to use knives and now this.

Dante reread the picture of the email.

5 words.

5 genius words.

I am not your father.
