Chapter 5

|Diana's POV|

I immediately got up and ran towards him, picked him up and hugged him tightly; bringing his head to my chest.

"What happened, hmm?" I rocked him back and forth in my embrace.

"I thought you left!" He cried, tears running down his soft cheeks as I broke the hug and sat on the sofa with him on my lap.

"I didn't, and I won't, alright? I'll stay with you tonight, if you want that and if your dad agrees" I said, wiping his tears with my thumbs.

I really can't see him crying, it hurts so much to see him cry, he has really became my weakness and I don't think I would be able to survive if I was separated from him or if something happens to him; I got used to him so much in this short period of time and he means the world to me now and it won't be easy at all being separated from him one day.

"Please daddy!!" Nate whined, looking at Emilio with a pout and puppy eyes, making him laugh.

God! That laugh sounded amazing, he has a very beautiful and rare smile, and I would've never hidden my smile if I had a smile such as his, he has an eye smile which suits him very well and I honestly wouldn't have expected any less anyway.

"Of course baby, but you both will sleep in the other master bedroom and not in your bedroom" Emilio replied, making Nate clap his hands in excitement and run to him to kiss his cheeks while thanking him multiple times continuously.

"I'm back!... Oh! Nathaniel's up, your uncle missed you, you know? It's been a few days since I last saw you" Enzo said, spreading his arms wide for Nathaniel to hug him.

They hugged and then Enzo said that he needed to talk to Emilio in private so they went out of the living room to god knows where, and I honestly didn't really care as it isn't any of my business.

But as they were talking, Nate started complaining that he's hungry and that he wants to have pancakes.

I asked him where the kitchen was and he lead me to it, and wow it was bigger than my house, and even though I'm not broke or anything but I really am not into extremely expensive stuff, but this man really has a taste in everything and he really knows how to style a house because his house is the most decorated, designed, and planned house I've yet seen.

I found two young girls in their mid-twenties scrolling through their phones, and there was a mid-aged woman, probably in her mid-fifties, so I went to her and I asked her if she could prepare some pancakes for Nathaniel.

She was polite, and immediately said yes. She was smiling widely, and Nate seemed to love her so much and as if she was his grandmother.

I was chatting with the lady and Nate was sat on the counter, but I was feeling glares, I knew that someone or even two people were glaring at me and I'm sure it isn't Emilio nor Enzo, so it has got to be the girls; the two girls which have been looking at me up and down since I came to the kitchen.

"Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer and I won't notice your glares at me" I said, turning around to face them as they immediately looked down, embarrassed as they got caught.

"You're talking to us?" One of them asked, pointing at herself in confusion and shock as if I was accusing her falsely.

"Yeah, there's no one near the door other than you two!" I replied, annoyed by them.

"Ugh, fine, we were glaring at you because you're getting closer to Emilio, so stay away; he's mine! We've been secretly dating for a few months now" She said happily yet enviously, showing off while flipping hair as if I believed her.

"Nice joke, you really think I'm that dumb? But either way, I don't care" I said, rolling my eyes before turning back around, only to see that the old lady was already serving the pancakes in a little plate for Nate.

"I want to talk to daddy" Nate said hurriedly, running away quickly to find Emilio.

"What's your name sweetie?" The old lady asked me.

"I'm Diana, what about you?" I replied, sitting down on one of the chairs.

"I'm Morgan, I'm like Emilio's second mother and I've been working here for about 8 years now" She introduced herself fully.

"Wow, that's a long period of time, but... then how old is Emilio?" I asked, shocked because I heard that he isn't that old, so how could she have worked here for about 8 years.

"He's 23, he bought this mansion when he was 15 years old, and I've been hired to clean and take care of the house, and when he turned 17 he started living here and he's always been like my son ever since" She explained, and I wasn't expecting that at all.

He bought this fucking 50 million dollar mansion at 15?!?!

"That's..." I was shocked and unable to find the right words.

"Impressive, I know" Emilio's voice said from behind me, making me turn around to see him smiling at me.

His smile didn't last long as he looked behind me at the girls and his eyes held anger, wrath, and vexation; he looked provoked and pissed off.

I surely knew what happened, Nate told him what the girl said and that's why he's pissed off.

"Julie and Jade! Go pack your stuff, you're out of my house! And no buts, or you'll be dead before tomorrow" He shouted, terrifying them and Nate who was standing beside him.

As soon as the girls left the kitchen, Nate immediately started tearing up and a pout formed on his lips. I went and picked him up, hugging him tightly as I held Emilio's ear tightly and twisted it while digging my nails in it so it hurts.

"Ouch! What was that for?" He said, holding his now red ear as he looked at me like a little child whom you stole his/her candy.

"You scared Nate, don't you dare talk about your mafia business in front of him again!" I threatened him, looking him dead serious.

"Alright mom" he whined, emphasizing the word 'mom', while rolling his eyes.

"My pancakes!" Nate exclaimed when he saw the pancakes, which were beautifully decorated with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and some maple syrup.

He started eating immediately which explained that he's definitely very hungry.

"Morgan, prepare dinner for Diana and I" Emilio said, sitting down beside Nate and petting his hair softly.

"What would you like to have, Diana?" Morgan asked me nicely.

"Anything that is light" I said, making her frown.

"Are you sure? I can make you some creamy Italian pasta, or some steak with fries and barbecue sauce" She added, making me shake my head continuously.

"Oh, no no, there's no need for any of that, I don't eat that kind of food at night, I don't dine heavily, I just eat something very light" I explained, thankful for her kindness but I really don't eat things that aren't easy to be digested at night.

"Alright, I'll make some avocado and egg sandwiches, with some pomegranate seeds" She said, making me smile while nodding my head.

After she finished making the sandwiches, she served us and we ate in peace while Nate was telling us some stories from time to time.

The sandwiches were really good and we both enjoyed them, and Nate even took a few bites from my sandwich and he said that it was tasty.

After having dinner, Emilio showed me the second master bedroom where I'll be sleeping with Nate tonight. It was an amazing bedroom, well decorated, the bed was exactly in the middle of the room, there were two nightstands beside the bed; one from each side, there was one window and a door leading to a giant balcony, there was a closet room inside the master bedroom and it was massive, and there were a few sofas and other stuff, but overall the room was magnificent.

"You decorated this room?" I asked him as he laughed at me.

"Actually no, this room was decorated by my mom, and she told me that I am not allowed to sleep in it or let anyone sleep in it, unless it is my future wife or my girlfriend" He stated, rolling his eyes playfully which left me more confused than ever.

"Why are you letting me sleep in here then? I can sleep in any other guest room" I asked him, and I was insisting in my voice that I can sleep in any other room if he doesn't want me to sleep here.

"You're special, you'll be sleeping here, don't worry your pretty head about anything" He said, flattering me yet making me confused, but I just shrugged off my confusion and smiled at him as a thank you.

He said goodnight and was about to leave the room when he stopped and turned back around.

"If you want to shower, I can lend you a shirt and some shorts" He offered, making me nod my head because I was actually about to ask him about that.

"I'll get them in a second" He said as he left the room and went to his.
