And Angelo did what he'd never done before. He hugged her back.
"I never really left, Cucciola".
(Little darling). Angelo muttered, making Emily smile.
"You were here yesterday?". She asked.
"Way long before that".
Emily broke the hug to stare at him.
"Then why won't you let me come back?".
"Some questions are best left unanswered. It's getting late, you should go". Angelo straightened up. "Come on". He started walking to his car that was parked somewhat discreetly. Emily sighed out softly.
Why is he always like this?.

FLASHBACK
A 10 year old boy came back from school looking all gloomy, he was supposed to come back with his siblings and their driver but he didn't want to so he walked the ten mile distance on foot and he was really in a bad mood, regretting his bad decision.
He was met with loud voices echoing from upstairs and it was his parent's room. Angelo looked around, no one was there not even the maids.
He prompted to just ignore it but his mother's voice echoed throughout the whole mansion and Angelo was running upstairs before he could even process things.
The scene in front of him was something he would never forget in the entirety of his life.
Anthony had his mother, Angela up against the wall with his hands around her throat, he was choking her madly without a care even when she was close to losing her life.
"Stop it. Let her go". Angelo screamed and both of their heads turned towards him. Angela used the distraction and kicked Anthony on his groin and he shrieked in pain, clutching his member.
"You f+cking bastard". He yelled at her but Angela didn't wait to find out what he would do, she pulled Angelo by his arm and out of the mansion.
He stumbled a few but didn't dare stop. Not with Anthony hot on their heels. Luckily for them, immediately they ran into the streets, a car nearly hit Anthony and that's when he stopped, cursing at the driver.
Angela stopped at what looked like a motel and finally breathed out. Angelo looked at her with teary eyes.
"What's going on, ma?". He sobbed and she squatted down to his level.
"You've got to be strong for me, my love. It's the two of us now". She said and Angelo furrowed his brows.
"What are you talking about?, There's Lyssa and Callum and zade and....
"No. Forget about them, angelo. Listen to me, you'll have to forget them and start a new life here with me. Anthony is a monster and he won't rest until he kills us both, we can't go back there". Angela shook her head.
"No, what about Lyssa?". Angelo too was adamant.
"Angelo!". Angela snapped.
"No, I don't want to. I won't stay away from Lyssa". He screamed back.
"Lyssa is different. Anthony would never hurt her, he loves her too much for that".
"No".
"Then go. Go back to Anthony and don't come back, you'll never see me ever again". Angela backed up and Angelo shook his head, going to hug her tightly.
"I'm sorry ma". He mumbled, tears dropping freely. Angela took a deep breath and calmed down.
"It's okay, Angelo. You can stay with Alyssa and take care of her, okay?, Take care of her, I'm here, you can always come visit until i find a place for all of us".
"Why can't you just ask your family?". Angelo asked.
"You're too smart for your age, baby. They'll never accept me back, I severed ties with them when they wouldn't let me marry Anthony....and that's the worst mistake of my life, they hate me". She answered, talking more to herself than him.
Angelo nodded and looked at her once before heading to the door. Angela was the only daughter of her family, they were from a mafia bloodline too and she was equally trained. Then he left.
(....flashback ends....)
Angelo was woken up at 4am abruptly when his phone kept beeping repeatedly, he groaned and sat up.
Most of the messages were from the clan members, most being from the queen mother herself. Angelo pursed his lips and decided to call back but her call came again immediately.
"Hello?". He called out when he heard a lot of shuffling on the other side.
"The quarters. Now, in 10 minutes". The queen mother's voice was stern.
Angelo rolled his eyes and hung up, heading to the bathroom.
An hour later, Angelo headed to his car, bluey watched him leave and glared at his back.
"Is he even human?". She scoffed and went to the kitchen to do her chores.
**
Emily woke up super early today, she was in such a good mood after last night and even kept smiling to herself. She was already in the kitchen, cooking breakfast for everyone while humming a song.
Laura came in five minutes later and was surprised seeing Emily there.
"Em?, Why are you awake so early?". She asked.
"Morning mom. I just feel like cooking". Emily smiled, turning back to the cooker.
Laura thought for a while, then spoke up.
"Will you come back early today?".
"No, why?".
"Come home early today, i have a surprise for you". Laura said.
"What is it?". Emily asked, curiously.
"It won't be a surprise if i tell you. Just come home by 4pm".
Emily nodded slowly and went back to cooking.
At the headquarters*
All of the members were already tired of waiting for Angelo, the queen mother was tapping away on her desk impatiently. Then finally he came in and all eyes turned to him. At a corner, Bruno was tied up with his mouth sealed.
"I called you over an hour ago, why are you only here now?". The queen mother asked.
"Why did you call me?". He asked instead, his hands remaining in his pocket as he walked over.
The queen mother took a deep breath and looked at Bruno.
"We've caught the spy". She said and Bruno shook his head abruptly.
"He was seen talking to a member of the russian clan". Katherine added, quickly glancing at queen mother for permission, when she didn't protest, Elena continued.
"And investigation was carried out". Alyssa spoke and Angelo looked at her.
"He's actually from there so he's the spy". Carlos finished. Angelo's gaze swept through Bruno in a breeze, then he looked at Hades, blade and Kate, they were all quiet, probably not expecting such.
"Is there any other evidence?". Angelo asked.
"What other evidence do you need, Angelo". Katherine slammed. "I already told queen mother to just evict this scum but she insisted on waiting for you".
Angelo ignored her and walked over to Bruno and removed the tape on his mouth. It's the first time that they'll be talking.
"You've heard them. Were you talking to a Russian clan member?". He asked.
"Yes but.....
"And you know that's like going against us. Did they threaten you?".
"No....
"So you weren't forced to talk to them?".
"Yes".
"Are you related to them?". Angelo asked, yet again.
"Angelo, why are you asking the obvious. We know he's the traitor". Katherine snapped.
"Don't get on my nerves, Katherine". Angelo said lowly and turned back to Bruno. Katherine gulped and glared at him, glancing at the queen mother for a second but she wasn't even bothered.
"Yes, the Don's best friend is my brother but I left them a long time ago, i swear. They were trying to tell me to come back to the clan but i refused". Bruno rushed.
"He isn't lying". Angelo turned to the Queen mother.
"How do you know that?". Elena asked. Carlos and Alyssa were equally confused.
"Call it a gut". He shrugged. "If there's nothing else, I have work to do".
"I called you here for two reasons, we'll take care of Bruno's matter later. Angelo, come with me". Queen mother said and stood up.
"This isn't fair. It's f+cking not fair, why can't she listen to me once?". Katherine gritted and Hades looked at her but she just walked away, Elena, Kate and Alyssa went after her.
"Do you believe him?". Blade asked and Carlos shrugged.
"He looks innocent?". Carlos mumbled, trying to convince himself.
"You don't judge by looks. He may really be the traitor we've been looking for. Come on, are Katherine and I the only ones that think around here?, Angelo says something and he's fucking right and it's final?, Oh please". Hades scoffed and walked away too.
Blade just shrugged and brought out a lighter and a cigar.
"Want one?".
"Sure". Carlos took the cigar.
When they got to her office, the Queen mother sat, staring straight ahead at Angelo.
"What's wrong?". Angelo asked, sitting across from her.
"I'll get straight to the point". She stated. "Did you see Emily yesterday?".
"Yeah, why?". Angelo asked nonchalantly.
"I told you to stay away from her, if you don't care about yourself, think about her, Angelo, she's too innocent for this, she doesn't need this type of danger in her life". The queen mother deadpanned.
"Do you think she's safe in that house, with no one to protect her?". Angelo scoffed.
"That's no longer your problem, Angelo. Can't you see?, You're getting too attached to her".
"So what if i am?".
"Angelo..... don't tell me that you're falling in love with her". The queen mother said lowly.
Angelo didn't say anything else, he just stood up. Several thoughts in his head.
"Where are you going?". She asked but he didn't answer.
TIME SKIP*
Emily pursed her lips as the guy in front of her checked the menu and gave their orders. She only asked for water though. His name is Bryan and he's twenty, a self employed hardworking guy, they went to high school together.
Bryan looked at Emily and smiled.
"Are you having fun?".
"Hm". Emily forced a smile that the guy was all too blind to see.
"So you've seriously never dated before?". He asked.
"Not exactly. It was in seventh grade and I liked him and he liked me but that's all". Emily said.
Bryan chuckled and made to hold Emily's hand that was on the table.
"Let's go outside?". He offered and she nodded. They walked outside hand in hand then he stopped and looked at her. Then he suddenly leaned down and kissed her on the lips softly. Emily bit her lips and looked away when he pulled back.
"Thanks for agreeing to come on this date with me, i do hope that we'll see each other often. I really like you Emily....
Emily looked around and froze, literally everything seemed to have stopped when she saw Angelo standing a few metres away from them. Their eyes met for a few seconds, then he started coming forward. Bryan looked at him for a second and furrowed his brows when Angelo took Emily's other hand.
"What the.....
"Even the earth won't be able to hold your dead body if you don't let go now". Angelo said ferociously. Emily squirmed when he looked at her.
"Who do you think you are?". Bryan asked furiously.
"I could tell you that..... except you won't be alive to hear it". Angelo smirked.
"Hey!". Bryan snapped, attempting to hit Angelo on his chest but his hand was caught midway and Angelo twisted it painfully.
Bryan yelped and let go of Emily's hand.
"Angelo, stop it!". She screamed but he was far from done and Bryan was far from giving up as he kicked Angelo's leg with his might, Angelo moved a bit at the contact, then flipping Bryan up in the air and down to the ground. Emily heard his bones crack and shrieked in horror.
"You sick bastard". Bryan groaned.
"Wrong word". Angelo stepped on his chest, pressing his weight down on him.
Bryan was vomiting blood now and Emily was trying desperately to push Angelo off him.
"Angelo, stop it please". She begged, then he finally left him. Emily immediately stooped and held Bryan.
"How could you do this to him?". Emily yelled, pulling Bryan's head to rest on her lap. "All because of one stupid word?, You killed my aunt for the same reason, what is wrong with you?".
Angelo didn't say anything.
"Bastard!". His head snapped to Emily when the words left her mouth. "Bastard, bastard, bastard, yes i called you that, will you kill me too?. Go on then". Emily screamed and Bryan smirked. Angelo clenched his jaw and looked at her, then a maddening laughter rumbled in his throat. Bryan stared at him in confusion.
As if that wasn't enough, Emily leaned down and kissed Bryan!. His fingers automatically went to her waist, pulling her closer.
"And one more thing, I'm not yours. I'm not an object, i have feelings too and i do not need you in my life". Emily uttered.
