Marcello

"Oh, you two are finally here," Xavier said, looking at Emilia then back at his son. They both nodded and took a seat on the big table.

To Marcello's displeasure, Emilia ended up sitting next to Gabriel which made his whole figure tense, and the way Gabriel was checking out Emilia did not make anything easier.

Juliana smiled as Xavier said, "We have news for you guys!"They all brought their attention to Xavier."We got married."The room was filled with silence before Camila's utensils dropped to her plate and she quickly flashed a look of disapproval to her older brother.

"And you didn't care to tell us before you got married? You got married as if you have no family at all!"She exclaimed, standing up from her seat.

"Camila sit down your making a scene."She shook her head because it disappointed her to know her brother was more concerned about the public eye more than her feelings.

She chuckled sarcastically, "I can't believe you. I can not believe how self-centered you are"She trailed off for a bit..."Juliana, you actually think putting two young women in the house full of men like Gabriel is such a good idea. Knowing my nephew he's already planning which one of your daughters will warm his bed soon."She exclaimed and Juliana gasped anger was visible on her face.

Gabriel had a smirk on his face while the conversation was taking place which brought a look of disgust to Marcello's

"Camila that's enough. You have crossed the line."Xavier yelled while standing up."We will announce our marriage at the summer gathering and the topic will end there. Do I make myself clear."She simply turned her head and began to walk in the other direction.

Zachary glared at Xavier than followed his mother out.

"Marcello I need to talk to you, "Xavier said, pointing to the living room area. Marcello gave him a questioning look but entered the room anyway. Xavier took a deep breath before turning towards Marcello."Did you or did you not have aid in what happened to Emilia yesterday?"

Marcello suddenly felt guilty because he knew he could have hurt Emilia even though he wasn't the one to directly do it even worse he could have hurt the baby so averted his father's gaze.

Xavier shook his head because he knew that Marcello had a part in it since he was suddenly mute."Turn around."He yelled while taking out his belt.

"I'm twenty-nine you can- aghhh!"He groaned in pain as his father slapped the belt across his back.

He slapped the belt across Marcello's back a couple more times before yelling,"You will never learn will you?"Marcello stumbled to the ground as his father began kicking him in the gut.

Emilia was looking for the kitchen when she suddenly heard yelling and loud groans which caused her to come to a stop. Her pulse began to race as she followed the sound and stopped at the living room.

She saw Marcello's blue dress shirt and acted on impulse by opening the door and the sight almost made her throw up the content of her stomach because it reminded her of her own father but instead she felt tears prickle her pretty brown eyes.

"What are you doing? Why are you hurting him?"She asked drumming against Xavier's back. Xavier quickly dropped the belt and looked at Emilia wide-eyed but then picked up the belt.

"I'm punishing him for hurting you."He yelled, turning back to Marcello to finish his task.

Emilia quickly threw herself in front of Marcello, "He didn't do anything. I won't let you hurt him just to take out your frustration."Xavier shook his head walking out of the living room as Emilia continued to cry.

"Why did you do that? You could have been hurt, Emilia."Marcello yelled, walking towards his room which was located near the pool in a private area.

She continued to cry as he stripped out of his shirt but this time she placed a hand on his back and touched the bruises."Does he hurt you all the time?"She asked, as his body tensed.

"That's beside the point Emilia lets just acknowledge the fact you could have been hurt for a second. The baby could have been hurt. You don't even realize how dangerous that ass hole is. What if he hurt you too huh? Did you not think-"He stopped because to this point Emilia was sobbing and this made something tug at his heart. He took a deep breath before embracing her into a hug."Don't cry, tesoro."

"Your right I'm sorry I wasn't thinking. I just didn't want to see you get hurt. She continued to cry in the crook of his neck as he soothed her.

"I was a bit harsh."He replied, sincerely.
