I wake up to find the bed beside me empty. The sheets are warm as well as the pillow still smells like Mateo but he isn't there. I slowly open my eyes to be treated with the bitch black room, the long black curtains keep out the light from outside however the gap lets the moonlight shine onto the bed lighting up the room slightly.

I climb out the bed realising I am in nothing other than my panties, I look through the room to find one of Mats shirts thrown over the back of the chair. I quickly take it pulling it over myself and pushing my arms through the sleeves. The shirt drown me completely as it reaches the middle of my thighs, I pull my hair out from the back. It is still soaking wet indicating we portably only slept for an hour.

The water trails down my back causing a shiver to hit my spine, I make my way across the room towards the door. The light underneath is the only thing causing me form walking into the wall as it is pitch black in here.

I twist the door handle on the second attempt, I make my way down the hall to hear voices in the kitchen and I begin to ahem insane deja vu. I rush down the steps and towards the kitchen then pause before shouting.

"Bit of a warning, no ones laying on my kitchen island covered in blood." I call causing laughter to erupt my ears and I take that as my scene to enter. My eyes find Mateos as he grips the kitchen counter by the sink as his parents stand across the room shooting daggers at him. Enzo is sat at the island and Alessia is asleep leaning against the counter.

"Hey honey you ok." His mother asks and I smile nodding my head I approach Mateo, he opens his arms and I step in-between then as he wraps his arms around my waist.

"Is everything ok." I ask looking at the time on the stove, it reads five minuets past three and I quickly assume its in the morning. Well duh.

"Yes we are just enlightening Mateo on the damage he has caused this evening." His father hisses as he meets Matoe's gaze. One of mats arms moves to the counter beside us as he grips however the other looks around my waist.

"His father will not cause a war over this. The entire Morello's hate Alexander. His uncles sat and watches as I smashes his afec across the bar. Nothing will come of this more than a few hard gazes at the next few balls." Enzo explains however the ping in my chest enlightens me that that statement is infuse not true.

"The whole underworld is turning to see who this new attraction is that has caught Mateo Romano's eye. They won't let this go unheard of Mat. The underworld knows you have a weakness. You just put Gianna in more danger than she was originally." I shake my head as he grips me tighter.

"Im not your weakness. Weakness doesn't exist." I explain and they all turn to me yet I spina round looking ta Mat. "Im your strength." I smile and he locks eyes with me and I can tell he is confused.

"Before me you where simply you. I gave you a reason to fight, a reason to be better than everyone else." I explain and his mother sighs leaning against the counter.
