Chapter 57: Be honest

A/N: Sorry for the late post, here is the next chapter; It's a short one but that doesn't mean it's less interesting; Enjoy

Emily

We keep glaring at each other, neither of us saying a word; is he seriously mad at me? I'm supposed to be the one mad at him! He didn't treat me right so I have a reason but he doesn't...Or does he know about the pregnancy? Bella would never tell someone...But what if she told Olivia and she told Mateo? No...Bella would never do that... Mateo still doesn't answer or speak so I decide to walk past him, getting enough of his shit but he stops me.

"Emily, please, come back home" he whispers angrily, his eyes still murderer.

"Why should I?" I yank my arm out of his grip, taking a few feet from him.

"Lucy and Liam are worried as fuck" he confesses but that's not a good answer to my question.

"What about you?" I ask but he looks down, not meeting my gaze. "What? Kath couldn't warm you're bed? Is that why you need me to come back?" I hiss out, the rage building in me. That get's his attention.

"Of course not! What does she has to do with this!?" now he's pissed off.

"I don't know, you tell me; isn't she the one you usually go to if I don't give you a good fuck?" I stare him down.

"No, why the fuck do you think that?" he steps closer but I take one back, holding my hands up.

"No, my attraction towards you won't help this time, Mateo and to answer your question..." I think for a second. "...The reason why I assume you're with her is because you're never home..." his brow furrows. "...I don't ask you to be like a loving husband at all but I at least aspect you to be home, have dinner with us; you know? Me, Lucy and Liam?" I don't stop there, everything needs to get out. "You're usually gone and that pisses me off! Since you took over Italy you're barely home. I want you to be at the dining and at be my husband and not only when people are watching. I'm well aware they already know that this is arranged but that doesn't mean you can treat me like garbage! I'm still human, you know? Someone with feelings and emotion? You need to get that in your big, egoistic head! You can't treat us; I don't talk about myself but also others, like we're some kind of game to you! Life isn't a game, Mateo!" I'm breathing hard, proud filling my chest.

"I'm aware of that" he starts. "But I'm a Mafia, Emily! I'm not gentle and I can't acted like I'm some kind if husband; what do you think my enemies would think!?" his voice rises. "Now I'm married you're my fucking weakness and they don't have mercy at all to do something to you! What do you think I've been doing those nights when I'm gone, huh? Fucking around!?" he says sarcastically. "I've been protecting you, hell, I've been protecting everyone I care about from the start! It isn't as easy as you think; I need to think at least 10 steps ahead from my enemies just so you can have a life! So you can go out and shop with your friend without anyone trying to kill you! Why do you think Tyler is following you 24/7?" he stars right in my eyes and I see his vulnerability. "If he hasn't been guarding you, you would be meal already. Do you really think you can go out like you're a normal married woman? On top of that, there is another guy trying to kill you! Only 2 numbers, Emily, and after that I don't want to know what would happen to you! And right now, in these circumstances, you think you can go out and do what the hell you want?" I don't say a word; I'm too overwelm with the new information that I can't register what Mateo is telling right now. "This is a life you need to get use to! Whether you like it or not" he takes my arm, yanking me towards the car.

"Emily!" Bella yells, running towards me but Mateo stops her.

"Bella, I'm very grateful that you took Emily in but this is something you don't want to get into" he slams the door of the car and walks to the front, murmuring something to Tyler before taking a seat next to mine.

We make it home in less than 20 minute; the whole drive was a nightmare. I cried, cried and cried some more but surprisingly they were silence tears; tears that were trying to get a way out of this hell life, away from him.

"Go up to the penthouse, I'll meet you in a minute" Mateo says coldly. I step out, strolling towards the elevator and for some reason my deal with Enzo comes in my mind; if I can get him the file he will help me divorce Mateo and on top of that I will get the company. Tonight I will do my job, because I want to get out of this life as soon as possible...

Two guards open the door for me and Luc and Liam both jump off the couch, making their way towards me.

"Emily!" Lucy yells, hugging my tight. I return the favor, feeling happier. "I'm happy you're back" I release her and smile, nodding and then I look at Liam who is standing uncomfortable in the corner.

"Come here, Liam" I open my arms for him waiting. He doesn't wait to hug me and I feel his body relaxing.

"I'm happy you're back, I really thought you would be gone..." he whispers just loud enough for me to hear.

"I would never leave you" I whisper back. The door suddenly opens, startling us all.

"Sorry to interrupt you're family moment" Mateo says sarcastically, walking past us.

"What is your problem?" I ask, the tension in the car coming back; does he really think he can acted like an ass?

"What do you mean?" he takes a glass from the bar and fills it with what I assume whiskey.

"Don't acted stupid, you know what I mean" I cross my arms, pissed off even more; if he's suppose to be the father of my child his attitude needs to change. "I'm here, exactly what you wanted, so what else do you want!?" I feel Liam and Lucy backing off but they still stay; I don't want them to see the fight.

"What I want?" he pretends to think. "I want youto be honest with me" my brows furrow, confused. Does he know? Does he knows aboutthe baby or about my deal with Enzo?

A/N: Oh god...what does he know?
