ARIA.....when the realisation hit Matteo, a new wave of anger ran through his vein. "Over my dead body" Matteo grunted, his possessiveness was clearly visible. She was his now, only his . The primal need to protect her, to protect his wife grew. As he kept his eyes fixed on Stefano. A thirst of hunger ran through him.. thirst for Stefano's blood. He was going to kill the bastard slowly, ending his life with immense pain.
He knew who Stefano was, in fact Matteo was well aware about the entire Colombo's and their men. Ever since they have arrived in his town he has been keeping an eye on them. They were brutal with everything they did. They never played by rule, something Matteo hated the most. They were never faithful with their promises or business deals. A true sign of an outsider and a real made man one who will sacrifice his life and happiness to keep his promise or die trying.
Matteo schooled his expression, it took years of discipline and practice but he had mastered the skill to perfection. He hated it when he couldn't think straight. Hating let his enemy know that they have affected him. So he had become good at faking, keeping a straight poker face.
In a quick blink of eye he moved his eyes all over Stefano, acting all uninterested in his treat and bored. At the same time he scan his eye over him,accessing what he was caring. They way he walked, proved he had a blade stuffed in his right boot and two guns strapped around his waist on either side and one in the back. Matteo on the other hand was definitely under armed with just two gun and his favorite blade."25 men's at the north entrances and 23 at the south. The front is heavily guarded with 30 men's full armed while the back is clear - now." Leo's voice boomed through Matteo's earpiece. Leo always forced Matteo to wear an earpiece in situations they accept to go south - which unfortunately was every other situation in their business.
"I have got my eyes on you too and there are total of 40 mens in the garden right now - Stefano came prepared." Leo informed Matteo.
"Stefano on the other hand is also armed which I am sure you have already know." Leo stated the obvious. Matteo was well skilled and trained at defusing situations like this.
"So here are our two options:" Leo continued as Matteo kept eye contact with Stefano who was bragging about himself. " Option A - I have got a clear shot of Stefano. I say we will kill him on the spot and declare war against the Colombo. Or option B - Our backup army of men's will be here in five minutes. So you have to stall him until then and then we all will take stefano and his men down and then you declare war with the Colombo." Anger was clearly audible in Leo's voice. And neither of the options were good enough, more like good enough for him.
He wanted to have peace but even he knew one way or the other this situation will end up in war.
"You know the drill boss - down is for option a and no movement means option b." It was a little code trick they had mastered - if Matteo moved his gaze slightly down toward the targets shoe it meant option a. And if he kept his eyes fixed at the target it meant option b.
Matteo knew what he was going to do way before Leo pointed it out. He hated this - he wanted peace once he was the Boss. But even before he became the Boss, it seemed like he was making enemies and declaring war.
