I Am Yours

Chapter 8: Aria

Matteo
The first thing I see when I enter the Russo Building, my building is the shitty face of Ayaan.

As usual he wore that smirk on his face that grabs  the attention of every girl he walks pass, mostly because of his left dimple that he like to brag about.

Except this time he wasn't as put together as normal, his curly hair was messy today and his white shirt was unbuttoned.

Shit. The roles are reversed today.

Besides him being a bitch i've grown up with him. Whenever I needed him he's always been there for me.

That's one thing, I could always rely on this motherfucker.

Whether it was business or my personal life, he's always been my right hand man.

I walk up to him and greet him like every other day.

"وہ خوبصورت ہے نا؟"
He says smiling. (Urdu// She's pretty isnt she)

"کون؟" I reply (Urdu// Who?)

"That girl whats her name-"

"Aria."

"Haanjiii why don't you get married, I see the way your eyes twinkle."

Yeah he's definitely taking the piss.

"چپ کر" (Urdu// Shut up)

He just laughs but turns sober quickly when he realises that we're here for work.

We head to the main meeting room which was basically filled, with only the head seat empty.

I take the head seat as obviously I control this shit, and tell the person to my right to move.

Ayaan always sits there so he will stay always sitting there.

I don't give a fuck.

It was Luca's turn to present today so after a simple greeting I let him take the lead.

If I'm being honest I wasn't even listening, just thinking about how Aria and I were cuddling all night.

I shake my head and forget about the thought.

She's 19 and I'm 26.

A bit too old for her, she can have Ayaan if she wants, he's only 24 which isn't too bad, he's younger than me.

I start scrolling through my phone and see Zaid called me a couple times an hour ago.

Zaid is 28 meaning 2 years older than me, I've known him since I was ten when we use to go practice knife throwing and target practice.

He's always been more brutal and he's always been the best at killings.

He's cool though, the only other friend I have besides Ayaan.

I excuse myself from the meeting despite the many protests and roll of eyes and put Ayaan in charge.

I walk out and call back Zaid.

He picks up the phone the first time.

"Zaid." I call out.

"Matteo."

There was an edge to his tone, .... like something was wrong.

"Zaid, what's wrong?"

"So shit. Well one of your people called me yesterday, said he needed help with a something. And remember that I didn't help him so don't fucking blame me."

His bitchy attitude, that's probably where I learnt mine from. "What something?"

"It has to do with Aria Miller"

Aria
After giving bruja salty pancakes I decided to slip outside and go for a walk.

It had been a while since I've done my daily walk and I thought it would be a nice way to escape Ella's wrath.

While on my walk I couldn't forget about how it felt when Matteo was cuddling me. The fact that he actually cared when I told him parts of my backstory instead of just laughing in my face like I was stupid.

I was taught one way, and I was brought up by my dad.

I only know what he taught me growing up and what I've planned is what's going to happen.

I still need to find Andrew, and the bitch Matteo still hasn't helped me.

I roll my eyes and slowly pause when a black Mercedes Benz pulls up beside me. The driver rolls down the window and inside was a guy I've never met before.

Before I could tell him to drive along a tall man with pale skin puts me in a headlock.

And I thought I was gonna die.
