Sturniolo Tower (Matt Sturniolo)

16. Final Show

Matt's POV

I watched Y/N walk away from me, minutes after leaving me with an ultimatum.

Her or the business.

I never thought she'd ever make me choose, but here I am, watching her walk to the elevator and I stood her watching her leave.

I looked at Nate and didn't think twice about pulling him for Anna's grasp. I don't need to say a word before he nodded, stepping away from her.

"Matt, what's the plan? What are you doing?" Nate asked, walking beside me as we walk to the elevator.

I looked at Nate. "First, we're speaking to Jake, then I'm ending the party. Apparently, I have to save my marriage" I told him, looking at my phone, sending a signal for security to wait with Jake.

Nate and I stepped into the elevator and he pushed the button for the ground floor. "Matt, what do you mean save your marriage?"

I cleared my throat and sighed. "Y/N cracked. She wants me to choose between her and the business"

"And what are you choosing?"

I rolled my eyes and looked up at the elevator numbers going down. "She's the love of my life, Nate. I have no choice, I'll always pick her"

"Are you selling?"

I shook my head. At this point, I'm not selling. I don't think that's what she wants, but if she does, then I'll sell. I don't think I could function if she left me.

"Unless I have to, no. Until I talk to Y/N,  I'll hand you the reigns. I can't dive full force into the business while my marriage is on the rocks. She's had enough"

Nate nodded, being understanding. "Whatever you need"

"I'll pay you extra from my own earnings. It's just until I figure things out"

"No problem"

I nodded, it seems like Nate knows I don't have my priorities in order.

I got my business back and here I am handing it back to Nate and I don't even know what the fuck I'm meant to do . How do I fix my marriage if I don't know what's wrong with it?

"She said I was like my father" I said, feeling my nerves in my body pulse quick.

I never wanted to be like him. I wanted to be the opposite, loving, caring, humble and most of all successful with life, a business and love. Maybe I have failed and have become my worst nightmare.

"She's just afraid, dude"

"No, she was angry, not scared"

"I don't know your Dad, but I guess he's a bad man since you never talk about it. I'm sure you're not like him"

"I don't know, Y/N took a low blow" I mumbled and the doors opened.

I made contact with one of the security guards and the man who made it his mission to ruin the evening. "Jake" I greeted with a fake smile, doing my best not to beat him. "What was your mission tonight?"

He didn't answer, he just stared at the floor. "Jake, you took my wife and his girlfriend, why?" I asked, trying to stay calm. I wanted to know what the fuck his plans were.

"I can't say" he shrugged and I stepped closer to him. I put my finger under his chin, forcing him to look up at me.

"You have two options, tell me and get an earlier sentence or you cannot tell me and I'll make sure you never get out of jail. I've the power to do it"
