Little Emily chapter 16
Emily's point of view; As the school day wore on, I found it hard to focus. Emma noticed and pulled me aside during lunch. "What's wrong, Emily?" she asked, her usual cheerful demeanor replaced with concern."It's Kelsey. He hasn't come back, and I'm worried. I feel like it's my fault," I admitted. Emma frowned, searching for the right words. "You can't blame yourself for everything. Families have problems. They'll work it out. Just give it time."Her words offered some comfort, but the worry gnawed at me. By the time school ended, I was exhausted from the emotional toll. When we got home, I hesitated before entering the house, a part of me dreading what might happen next. Would Kelsey be there? Would things be the same? Austin noticed my hesitation and gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze "He'll come back, Em. Don't lose hope."Stepping inside, I was met with the same heavy silence. I dropped my bag and went to my room, needing a moment alone. As I lay on my bed, stari

Emily's point of view;Jumping out of the window, I took a deep breath when I landed safely. The thrill of sneaking out was exhilarating, yet a tiny part of me questioned the sanity of my actions. "Crazy how I’m leaving my house for a man," I mumbled softly before laughing at the absurdity of it all. As I walked towards the lake, my phone in hand, my thoughts swirled around the mystery of why Angelo wanted to see me. It had been a while since I saw the boys, and the curiosity gnawed at me. Angelo’s sudden text had ignited a mix of excitement and apprehension. Why now? What did he want to talk about? As I neared the lake, the dim light revealed a solitary figure in a black hoodie. My heart did a little flip when I recognized him."Angelo?" I asked softly, my voice barely above a whisper."Sup?" he replied, raising an eyebrow in that infuriatingly charming way of his. My heartbeat quickened, and I felt a confusing mixture of emotions swirling within me. I still had no idea why I had th

Emily's point of View;I woke up to the soft light of dawn streaming through my bedroom window. The events of the previous night with Angelo played over in my mind, bringing a smile to my lips. But today, I needed to focus on visiting Emma. I stretched, feeling a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. After a quick shower and getting dressed, I headed downstairs to find my brothers, Chris and Tony, in the kitchen."Morning," I greeted them, grabbing a piece of toast from the table."Morning, Em," Chris replied, looking up from his coffee. "What’s on the agenda today?""I’m going over to Emma’s place. Haven’t seen her in a while, and I thought it’d be nice to catch up," I said, trying to sound casual.Chris glanced at Tony, who was munching on a bowl of cereal. "That’s fine. But I want Tony to go with you."Tony looked up, a mix of surprise and annoyance on his face. "Why do I have to go?""Because I want Emily to be safe," Chris said firmly. "You know things have been tense lately

Chris's Point of View;The sun had barely risen, and I was already feeling the weight of another day pressing down on my shoulders. Emily's stress was palpable, and it was eating me alive. Kelsey was still missing, and each passing day without word from him was like a knife twisting in my gut. Tony and I had done everything we could to keep things normal for Emily, but the worry in her eyes was a constant reminder of our failure.I sat at the kitchen table, staring at my phone, waiting for any news. The rest of the house was still, the calm before the inevitable storm. Xander and Austin arrived, their faces etched with the same concern and frustration I felt. "We can't keep this up," Xander said, slamming his fist on the table. "Emily's falling apart, and so are we."Austin nodded, his expression grim. "We've exhausted all our resources, Chris. We need to try something different, something drastic."I knew what they were getting at, but it was a step I had hoped to avoid. "You mean c

The air was heavy with the scent of sandalwood, and the soft hum of a traditional Japanese string instrument playing in the background.

His sharp, piercing eyes scanned the documents before him, each one meticulously detailing his next move.He glanced up as the door opened and his son, Kamsy, stepped in. Kamsy was a younger version of Inishola, with the same lean build and sharp features. He had been groomed from a young age to take over the family business, learning the intricacies of their operations and the importance of maintaining their reputation."Father," Kamsy said, bowing slightly. "We have received the details regarding Kelsey. Our sources have narrowed down his location."Inishola nodded, his expression unreadable. "Good. We will proceed with

Emily's Point of ViewEmily woke up to the sound of her alarm blaring, her heart heavy with the weight of uncertainty. Her brother Kelsey was still missing, and the worry gnawed at her constantly. She dragged herself out of bed, her movements mechanical as she prepared for another day at school. The usual excitement she once felt was replaced by a pervasive sense of dread. After dressing in a simple outfit and grabbing her backpack, she headed downstairs where Tony and Chris were finishing breakfast."Morning, Em," Tony greeted, his tone overly cheerful in an attempt to lift her spirits."Morning," she mumbled, grabbing a piece of toast.Chris watched her closely, concern etched on his face. "You sure you’re up for school today?"Emily nodded, forcing a smile. "I need the distraction.""Alright," Chris said, though his eyes betrayed his worry.

He turned to see Inishola, the formidable leader of the Japanese mafia, enter the room with his son Kamsy by his side. Inishola was a tall, imposing figure, his presence commanding respect.

Little Emily chapter 23
EMILY'S POV: Two months later, it felt like Kelsey had vanished without a goodbye. The others gave up, telling me to move on, but I kept counting the days, hoping my brother would return and explain why he had to do all this. During my final exam, Chris walked toward Tony and me, and our physics teacher asked us to leave the class. Confused, we followed Chris out. As Tony closed the door, Chris looked distressed, breathing fast. "What's wrong, dude?" Tony asked, but Chris looked away before revealing, "We got a letter saying they have Kelsey, and to see him again, we need to give Emily to them." My eyes widened – was this the reason for Kelsey's strange behavior? Tony expressed doubt, suggesting Kelsey might be playing games. Chris, however, reminded us of our family's enemies and their tendency to exploit any weakness. Concerned about our approaching birthday, I asked, "What are we going to do now?" "Don't worry, little one. Xender and Eren have called our uncles and cou
