Semua Bab Don Emilio's Redemption: Bab 31 - Bab 40

I went straight home after I got off work. My heart was beating really fast the entire time I was going there. Coincidentally, my car had been in the parking lot by the time I got off work. I didn’t even want to know how Emilio knew where I kept the keys to my car but he did.I was scared of facing my father because I knew he was angry at me for the whole situation with the case and how the Chief of Police wanted to hang me.I was there in record time, with a wine bottle in hand, because it was polite. I knew it would never be opened but I still brought it. A maid ushered me in and led me to the dinner table, where I heard chatter and laughter.Tommaso was there with his parents. His father was a senator and his mother was the face of women in politics. They were powerful people in Italy, and my father no doubt invited them so he could fast-track the marriage between that lying whore and me.“Chiara, you’re here,” my mother said as she led me to sit next to her, which also happened to

The fight with my brother took all the energy I had in me. By the time I was driving back to my apartment, I was tired and I was ready to fall into my bed and sleep, especially because I hadn’t slept the night before.I walked into my apartment and turned on the lights. When I saw someone sitting on my couch, I screamed. That was until I recognized the blonde head. Of course, it was Emilio the creep sitting in the dark waiting for me in my apartment.“You’re late,” he said without looking at me and I rolled my eyes. The last thing I needed was another lecture from yet another controlling man.“You have no right to tell me that. You’re not my boyfriend or my father.” I said as I threw my bag somewhere and walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.When I turned around, I dropped it immediately. It fell to the ground and fell into little pieces. Emilio had a gun pointed at me. There was no hint of the charisma he pretended to possess. There was just as cold-blooded a murderer in my

I changed into the darkest clothes that I could find in my wardrobe and they weren’t many considering I liked bright colors. I wore dark sweatpants a black hoodie and then I threw my hair into a messy bun.I knew I would have to fit the balaclava onto my head so I needed to make sure my hairstyle fit the style. I made sure to remove all my makeup as I struggled not to cry at what I was about to do.Ever since Emilio entered my life, I found myself crying, way more than usual because of the things he forced me to do. I couldn’t believe I was breaking into a government building to replace evidence that would exonerate him.I wanted to refuse to do what he said. Of course I would break into the building because he would be watching and he wouldn’t know if I didn’t. But I had a half mind not to replace the surveillance photos that he wanted me to.But then I realized I would be committing a felony for nothing, and then I would have to face the consequences of my actions when he was found

We were on our way to leaving the room when I spotted the camera. I paused and looked at Raffaele.“There’s a fucking camera in this room. How have I never seen this? This could mean bad things for us. We might as well have walked up to the building and bribed the security guards to let us in. What’s the point of crawling through vents if the cameras are going to get a good look at us anyway?”I was still in a balaclava, but there were only a handful of prosecutors who had the code to that room. The only reason I even had it was because I had been working Emilia’s case with Elena. It wouldn’t take long to put two-in-two together and discover that it was me who was breaking into an evidence room and stealing vital pieces of information that could put him in prison for the rest of his life.“Don’t worry about the cameras. I am handling it. Now, do you want to stay here and argue or do you want to leave this place before the security guards come back and we have to wait another two hour

“What about it? Is there a problem?” I asked. My ears were ringing and I was having a hard time focusing on one thing. I was so scared that my hands were starting to shake, and I felt hot all over my body.“It’s best if we talk about this in Elena’s office,” he said vaguely, his eyes revealing nothing. It was hard to gauge the whole situation when he had just snapped at me, and he wasn’t flirting with me like he usually did.He never missed a beat to stake a claim on me at the office, and yet, that day, he didn’t care to treat me like he even knew me.“That’s my case. Why is she getting called into Elena’s office and not me?” Bia asked.Tommaso gave her a look that was so sour that she actually cowered and looked down. I had never seen him look that scary before. I guess the more I knew about him, the more I realized how little I knew him.He was always smiling, but that moment, he couldn’t even afford one. It could have been because he had been jumped, but I wouldn’t be sure until I
