Matteo read the letter over and over as his brothers stared at him. They were coming again, coming to take his brothers away from him. Again.

Enzo was chewing on his fingernails, staring at the photos in front of him. Photos of him and Ford. If any of the brothers hadn't figured it out that Enzo was a gay man. They sure knew now. The photos told them everything.

Matteo didn't want to look at the photos of him. He didn't want to see what they saw. He didn't want to think about Athena's body being seen by another.

He shouldn't be thinking about her now, his brothers were in trouble.

Antonio broke the silence, cursing in Italian. "Fucking hell. What were you too thinking?" He yelled, causing the whole Rossi mansion to shake.

The home they grew up in. The same house they had found their brother bleeding out at, the same home that the severed heads were delivered to. Matteo had no clue why Antonio could stand living in this house.

"Enzo, you are the second in command! And you were messing around with some American boy! How could you be so irresponsible." Antonio stood from the table, Matteo didn't even look at him. He could feel his brother's changeroom where he sat.

Suddenly, Matteo's skin was itching. His breathing picked up when he happened to glance down at the photos in front of him. He needed to clean, this room was too messy. There were a different number of chairs at the table.

The carpets weren't clean. His brain started to count every little thing.

He was having a fucking panic attack. What the fuck was wrong with him?

As Antonio kept yelling, Matteo's heart kept getting faster.

You have to get rid of her. She will end with your family dead. Do you want that? Your family is dead because you were selfish.

It's not Athena's fault.

No, it's not, it's yours. You are the one who was supposed to make sure was not an issue. And by fucking her like the bitch you are. You made her an issue. You know how we take care of issues.
