George’s POV
I walk out of Emily’s room my heads a mess, god knows how she is feeling. How is she going to handle all of this I’m going to tell her.
My fathers in the waiting area I need to tell him everything Emily said about the shooter so we can handle this properly when we go in.
This is such a mess.
“Whats she said son?” My dad says from behind me.
“She saw the shooter Dad the one which must be from the mafia! I’m pretty sure she doesn’t even know she’s been shot twice, but turns out she saw him on the balcony going for his gun. Hopefully she will tell us more. But can you come with me please to explain everything to her? She needs to know everything will be okay. We need to make sure she will be okay Dad.” My voice trailing.
“Of course son we will do it together there’s a lot we need to tell her. Hopefully she can handle it well and if she doesn’t we will try our hardest to support her.” Dad said solemnly.
He placed his hand on my shoulder and walked me calmly towards Emily’s room, at least he can support us both through this.
I knock gently and open the door,
Here we go.
“Hey baby, how you feeling?” I say gently to a wide eyes Emily glaring back at me, I am pretty sure if looks could kill I would be dead now.
“Cut to the chase George, just tell me what in the damn name of god is bloody going on here!” Emily says with anger in her voice.
“Emily this is my dad together we are going to tell you and there’s a lot to take in so please just tell us if you need to stop- okay?” I say with a slight smile.
She nods, that’s all Emily does.
“Hi Emily, my names Frank as George just said I’m his father. I apologise now for what I am about to say I never meant to hurt you or cause you a misery you’ve had in your teenage years. But I am your next of Kin and I am the reason you were left in the orphanage! You see your father was my business partner and very close friend, after home and your mother passed away I didn’t realise that they had left me as your next of kin, until I got the call a week later. I was so upset over their death I just couldn’t even bare to look at you and I believed at the time you would be better of with other parents than me as your next of kin. But had I known Emily I would of come straight back for you I have regretted that decision ever since I made it, if I’d known you never got adopted with hung the first few months we would of taken you. I just didn’t know what was for the best and for that I’m really sorry. The first I knew about you from that day was well the early ours of this morning when the hospital phoned me I didn’t even realise you were still my next of kin. But I’m so glad you are and I’m so glad you are already acquainted with George, because well you see Emily that’s not all your father left his half of the business to you, your actually a very wealthy woman now and also George’s business partner” my father said now smiling but Emily face was just mouth wide open and eyes to match.
“Emily, say something sweetheart, I’m sorry it is a lot to take in but please don’t blame George he didn’t know till a few hours ago I swear.” My dad said whilst holding Emily’s hand.
“Erm sorry Frank that’s Erm a lot to process, but just so you know I don’t blame you, it would be a lot to take on someone else child as for the business thing can we talk about that soon. If I’m honest I just want to know why I got shot” Emily said to my father with a sweet smile.
“I can explain that babe, you see when you got shot I thought it was the man in the club who shot you, but after your surgery the surgeon said there was actually two bullets and you had been shot twice. This is when we found out that in actual fact a man named Mr Dagu the leader of the mafia has what we believed tried to get me killed which is why I was shocked when you actually seen the man on the balcony shoot at me. So you had indeed been shot by him but also by the man on the dance floor, your a very lucky lady baby!” I say calmly trying my hardest to not make this out to be as worse as it is.
“How on earth have you just said that all so bloody calm there is a mafia man out to kill you, I’ve been shot twice, your fathers my next of kin and I’m actually a billionaire and the partner in your company! Is this some mad joke! Emily said with her voice now raised.
“JUST GET OUT” Emily shouted
“Please Emily just listen to me” I say politely.
“IVE LISTENED ENOUGH JUST GET OUT” Emily shouts again.
Me and my father got up and left, I look back and Emily’s crying into her pillow.
I’m sorry Emily.
