Chapter 201 - 196

Rose rushed to the principal's office and saw Elisio taking to the principal.

Emerald was hugging Ermanno and Xavier was seated on one of the chairs.

Rose looked at one side and saw Luciano staring at the principal looking like his father, Lucifer. 

"Emerald" called Rose and Emerald screamed "mummy" and went to Rose and hugged her.

"What's going on?" Asks Rose.

"Whatever it is has been taken cared off" says Elisio looking at the principal.

"We take full responsibility of all the medical bills of that boy" says Ermanno.

"We are not poor to not able afford our son's treatment. What we really want is this boy behind bars for hurting our son" said Andrew's mother.

"Watch who you are speaking to. My father can rip your tongue out with his bare hands. Do you know who my father is?" Asked Lucian standing up from his seat.

"He doesn't need to know" whispers Heena to Luciano holding his arm and continues "we are in America, Luciano not in Italy"

"I don't care where we are" says Luciano and looks at Andrew's parents and says "your son has been bullying Emerald. He even hurt her. Look at her hand"

Rose looks at Emerald's hand and sees  scratches from finger nails.

"Who did this?" Asked Rose.

"Andrew" says Emerald pouting.

"What kind of school do you run when a delicate flower like Emerald gets teased and bullied. God I feel like burning this place down. May be I should." Says Luciano with anger.

Elisio looks at Luciano and sees madness.

"You cannot speak to me like that" says the principal.

"And you will not talk to him in a raised voice if you want to live" says one of the men, Matteo of Lucifer who stood behind Luciano and Heena.

"He is the eldest son of Lucifer Violante" says the Matteo.

"Lucifer Violante" says Andrew's father scared as shit.

"Looks like you know him" smirked Elisio.

"I apologize on behalf of my son. We are sorry. Please forgive us" says Andrew's father.

"Keep your son away from Emerald" says Luciano.

"Yes yes. We are sorry" says Andrew's father and pulls his wife and leaves the office. 

Ermanno looks at Luciano and says "aren't you too young to be threatening grown ups?" 

"I am the next heir of the Violante empire. People need to know who I am and what I am capable of doing" says Luciano.

"So, your father knows you are here?" Asks Elisio.

Luciano doesn't say anything.

"I thought so" says Elisio and says "how about you call your father and hed back home"

"I don't need to take instructions from anyone" says Luciano.

"But you surely need to learn to respect little boy. And don't disrespect me. I am not afraid of your father and won't be afraid of a little thing like you" says Elisio and removes his phone and dials Lucifer's number.

"ciao signor Devonte.(Hello Mr Devonte)" says Lucifer. 

"Your son is standing in front of me. And I am in America" says Elisio.

"Luciano?" Asks Lucifer and picks another phone and calls Matteo.

"si capo. è con me e al sicuro. e in America.

(yes, capo. he is with me and safe. and in America.)" Says Matteo and Lucifer tells him to bring back Luciano to Italy.

"Mr Devonte, may I know why my son is there?" Asks Lucifer and Elisio tells him what happened.

"I apologise for what happened. I promise he wont cause any problems in the future." says Lucifer and Elisio says "we hope so"

"We have to leave" says Matteo.

"I want to talk to Emerald" says Luciano and Emerald huge Rose tight.

"She is frightened" says Rose.

"She'll live" says Luciano and walks towards Emerald when Ermanno places his hand on Luciano's chest.

"I am done with your disrespectful behaviour. We are no commoners who are afraid of a little boy like you. I want you to stay away from my daughter" says Ermanno.

"Make me. I was there when she needed someone to save her from being bullied. Where were you? Warming your bed with your wife?" Says Luciano.

Ermanno gets angry and lifts his hand to slap Luciano but before Ermanno's hand would meet Luciano's cheek. Elisio held Ermanno's hand to stop him.

Though Lucifer respected Elisio. It would foolish to presume he would not have cut of Ermanno's hand for slapping his son.

Luciano smirks and says "he is smarter. Now move, I need to speak with Emerald" 

"After you speak to her you leave" says Elisio and Luciano nods.

Emerald starts crying seeing Luciano approach her.

" non piangere Smeraldo. 

(Don't cry Emerald)" says Luciano and continued "if anyone ever troubles you  again let me know. I'll take care of them. Including your family, okay? And I'll call you after reaching Italy" 

Emerald didn't say anything and only cried.

"Let's go" says Matteo and Heena pulls Luciano's arm to go.

Luciano looks at Ermanno looking at him and anger.

"Take good care of her for few years" says Luciano and walks away.

"I do not want that boy close to Emerald" says Ermanno and takes Emerald from rose and says "I'll never let him hurt you or come close to you" 

Emerald was still crying when Xavier runs away behind Luciano.

"I won't let you hurt my sister" says Xavier.

"I would never hurt her. I will protect her" says Luciano.

"I'll protect her. You don't need to worry or come close to her" says Xavier.

"I wouldn't have to come here if you all would be doing a good job to protect her" says Luciano and walks away.

Ermanno was still furious with what had happened. And when they returned home he was pacing to and fro in the living room.

Elisio knew making a joke at Ermanno was not a good idea cause right now the person standing in front of him was not his son but a furious father who's ego was hurt.

"Why didn't you tell anyone one of us that you were being bullied, Emerald?" Asked Ermanno with anger and Emerald started crying.

"Can we do this sometime else" said Sabrina and held Emerald close.

"No, I want to know now. Tell me" said Ermanno.

Sabrina cools Emerald down a little and smiles at her and asks very politely "tell us Emerald, why would you tell Luciano about your bullying and not us?"

"Andrew said he would prey to the devil to hurt my family if I told anyone about him hurting and teasing me. I said no and didn't tell anyone" said Emerald inbetween hiccups.

Sabrina gave her a glass of water and she cooled down even more.

"Then why did you tell Luciano?" Asked Rose.

"I asked him where do you pray for the devil. He said his father is the devil. I asked mummy if it was true and she said yes" said Emerald.

"I did?" Asked Rose.

"Aanhann. You said Lucifer is the devil. So Luciano said he will help me" said Emerald and looks at Ermanno and says "daddy, I didn't want the devil to listen to Andrew and hurt my family" and cries.

"Oh Emerald" says Sabrina and hugs Emerald and continues "baby, look. What we believe in is what helps us. If we believe in God. He will always help us"

"And there is no one who can hurt us. We are the Devonte's. We are very powerful people. You should grow the confidence to never accept anyone's misbehavior towards you. If you can't handle it you have to tell us. We will handle it. We are family and when we are together we can defeat anything we want, understand?" Asks Elisio and Emerald nods.

"And I don't want you to talk to Luciano ever. I don't like that boy" says Ermanno.

"I don't want him to be sad and hurt him by not talking to him. Rai was so sad when Mia didn't talk to her" says Emerald.

"I'll handle that. I'll see to it that that boy never sees or talks to you again" says Ermanno and looks at Elisio who had a worried look on his face seeing Emerald.

Elisio was seated in his study drinking scotch when Ermanno walks in and says "I want you to call Lucifer and talk to him"

"I'll call him but you both talk to eachother. Father to father" says Elisio.

"What's going on. What are you thinking?" Asks Ermanno.

"I saw a madness and stubbornness in that boy to get what he wants. He knows his power he is going to acquire in the future and is already prepared for it. He knows what he wants" says Elisio and Ermanno was no fool to not understand what Elisio was talking about.

"I'll protect my daughter" said Ermanno.

"Good luck" says Elisio and dials Lucifer's number.

Lucifer promises that Luciano will never set foot in America and the Devonte's will never get any harm from Lucifer or his family. 

Right now Luciano, Heena and Matteo were standing in front of Lucifer, Pari, his three siblings and Aman.

Lucifer looks up at Matteo and says "I trusted you with my son"

"He threatened me." Says Matteo.

"If you can be threatened by a 13yr old boy. You don't deserve to be part on my clan" says Lucifer and shoots Matteo right between his eyes.

Heena jumps up in horror and Luciano holds her hand.

Heena sheds tears and looks at Luciano.

"I'll never let anything happen to you" says Luciano.

"I am not worried for me" says Heena and both look up at Lucifer.
