Our Secret

Chapter 54: One problem after the next

Artemis POV

I have arrived home to find police officers all over my property, their cars parked on the sidewalk or in my driveway, and two ambulances are parked in the middle of the street.

Another car pulls up beside Adrianna's. I recognize the car as Mika's. Once I see that she got out of the car, I get out as well and Adrianna follows me

"What's going on?" Mika ask

"I don't know"

Police officers never fail to make me nervous, now they surround my home that have too many unregistered weapons to count

As we walk closer and closer to the house, I see my windows all shattered, blood everywhere, some dead bodyguards, and yellow tape blocking the entrance of my house

Gerald spots us and immediately runs over, once he's standing in front of me I slap him hard across the face

"Look what you've done!" I shout

"All your secrets, all your lies. Look where they have got us" I shout again

"Police officers are crawling all over our home" I yell then I realize something police are crawling all over our home

Something had to happen, something bad

"Matteo!" I hear behind me

Turning away from Gerald, I see Emma holding her chest

She runs up to the yellow tape trying to get through but all the other officers stop her

"Please, my baby boy might be in there"

I turn back around to see an FBI agent walking over to us

"Ma'am, a toddler is getting checked out over in the ambulance," the agent says. Emma quickly turns around from the yellow tape and runs over to the ambulance followed by Mika

"Ms. Ferrari, what a pleasure" the agent smuggle says

"What happened here?" I ask

"Well, to put this in short terms. Your house was broken into by multiple people and a young teenager was brutally stabbed. Fortunately, she is alive and in the hospital as we speak but multiple people were killed"

"Yes, those who are dead are my guards," I say

"Okay well your guards are all dead, none of them survived. Now as for the toddler that we found crying in his bedroom, there wasn't a hair misplaced on his little head. Why is that?" The agent asks

"I don't know. As you can see, I wasn't here"

"Oh well yes, I can see that but your friend was" I look over at Gerald as he just looks confused

"I just got here?" Gerald says as if he's asking a question

"Yes, if you say so" The agent walks away and in his place walks over a male and female officer

"Ms. Ferrari, crime seems to follow you wherever you go," the male officer says

"Excuse me?" I ask

Does crime follow me?

"We have been trying to reach out to you, you've been shot multiple times and yet every time you simply avoid the police then your case poofs into thin air. We are told to forget about it or close the case that had yet to even become a case. Unfortunately for you Ms. Ferrari this one won't be going away that ease" the male officer says with a slight attitude before walking away

I thought the American mafia took care of that. I thought they'd make sure that anyone who knew about my history of ending up in the hospital wouldn't talk
