Without realizing it Leora put her hopes on the shooter. She is disappointed when she knows that the one who shoot the man is not her husband.
In an instant, the dead guy's friends try to shoot the shooter but before one of them can do it, they already shoot in the end by some sniper and dead at the same time. She was shocked to find how fast they died on the spot before they can try to pull the trigger.
The shooter walks to Marco and they talk about something before they walk inside the house. Leora can see after they got inside two more people chased after them and got inside the house too.
Leora tries so hard to find which camera can show her where Marco bought those men to talk. There are like fifty cameras that Leora needs to check before she found the one that shows Marco and those men. Sadly that this camera doesn't include a voice recorder, so she can't hear whatever they talked in there. Leora tries to read their lips but she can't understand anything, knowing that they talked in other languages, she guess it is Italy, she sighed and leaned on the chair.
Even without knowing what they say, Leora still looks at them try to read their face. Hoping that she knows something from their expression.
She can see that Marco and the man that seems to be the leader argue about something. Another two men put their hands in their pockets, where they seem to put their guns, ready to shoot at Marco wherever they needed. The leader standing from the sofa followed by Marco.
Right there she knows that they will walk to where she is. Without double-checking if her thought is true or not, she runs towards the door and tries to move the cabinet beside the bed to the door. This cabinet is pretty heavy, she needs lots of energy to push it. She hopes the cabinet can hold them to not coming in.
After finished pushed the cabinet behind the door, Leora check them on the CCTV but she can't find them on the monitor. She searches through the cameras to find where are.
A sudden clicking noise from the door freaked her out. She runs under the bed and hides there. Silly but at this time, she can't think of anything else besides hiding from those unknown people.
She can hear that the door is being smashed down by them. They are really strong to be able to knock down the door.
"Where is she?" Leora knows this voice the most. She can't help herself to cry just because she heard his voice again.
"I swear she is in here!" Marco yelled.
"She watched us from your computer." Another voice can be heard. Leora can recognize this voice, it's Vittorio, Matteo's best friend.
"Ragazzi, potete uscire." Matteo says and he closes the door softly. 'You guys can go out.'
"Bambina, love, you can get out now," Matteo says softly as he crouches beside the bed.
Hearing his soft voice makes Leora can't hold her sobs. She crawls out from under the bed and hugs him.
"It's okay. It's okay. Everything it's over." He says as he pats her back.
"I hate you," Leora says and punches him lightly in the chest.
"You are the one who runs off from me." He teased her, making him receive a glare from her red eyes.
"You should blame your brother." She mumbles and hit him again before she buries her head in his chest. Matteo laughs at her.
"Alright, alright. He is the one in the wrong." He whispers sweetly.
"I'm sorry." Whispers Leora after a couple of minutes of silence.
"It's okay. Marco told me that you are pregnant." He says while putting his hand on her stomach.
"He is bad. I always told him, I'll be the one who will surprise you with the news." Leora sulks and hug him tight.
"I'll scold him for you later." He comforts her.
"It is the end?" She asks while staring at his dark eyes.
"It is the end. You can come home now." He says and brings her to his embrace again.
"Yeah, I miss sleeping with you." She says and sniffing his cologne.
"Me too. I'll have a surprise for you. Do you want to go home now?" He asks while stroking her hair.
"What surprise?" She asks in eagerness and breaks free from his hug.
"It won't be a surprise if I say it." He says and standup while dragging her up.
"Right. Well, you need to pay it by telling me every detail of the situation." She demands still clinging on him.
"Let me rest for a while. I need to spend my time with my beautiful girls." He kisses her on the head and drags her out to the living room.
"I still can't believe my eyes." Comment Marco slowly but still can be heard by the people around.
"Shut up, I don't like you," Leora shouted when she heard Marco's voice.
"sta diventando sempre più viziata quando suo marito è qui." Marco complains and Vittorio can't help but laugh at his words.
'She is getting spoiled when her husband is here.'
"silenzio fratello." Matteo says sternly but everybody can tell he is pleased by his words.
'Silence brother.'
"Who is the other girl?" Leora suddenly says making the rest of the men confused by her questions.
"You just said it." Protest Leora, makes Matteo realize what she means.
"I mean her." He says while putting his hand on her belly.
"How can you be so sure about that?" She asks, ignoring Marco and Vittorio who silently leaving.
"I just hope that it will be a daughter," Matteo says while stroking her belly slowly.
"You won't be involved in familia again?" She whispers in silence, scared that he would be offended by her questions.
"I won't, I already promised you, didn't I? But we really need a long time to really leave this world behind. So many things to do to step down as a Don and leave this world without making any suspicion or an enemy tailing after us." Matteo says truthfully.
He needs to learn not to manipulate her by telling the fact and the truth about the situation. Matteo realizes that the relationship is built on trust. He doesn't like it when she didn't tell him about her suspiciousness of pregnancy, so he need to do the same to her. To be open and not let anything be covered, whether it is a hard and painful truth or a happy and joyful fact.
"I will hold your words." She says in a serious tone.
"Thank you, for keeping trusting me, after everything I have done." He says and kisses her lips slowly but gently, savoring every taste in her lips.
"What did you do?" She break free from his kiss and teased him with her questions.
Leora knows that he always says half the truth to her, to make her on his side. She always know when he was acting weird and such, but she doesn't want to confront him with all his lies. She wants to start to believe him, knowing that their relationship will be developed into something more serious.
"Do you really want to know all of it? Even when you know that it'll separate us?" He asks in a deep tone, holding some prohibition in it.
