Danger, Desire, Pain

Down To Business

Then he woke up on the couch he had been sitting on next to Lorenzo, he was still sleeping.

Nico took a deep breath, it was just a dream. He got up and went to go check on Amora now he didn't know if the talk that they had was even real or not, he didn't know when he dozed off.

He went upstairs and it was dark then he began to wonder what time it was and how long he had been sleep. She wasn't on the couch anymore, so he went to her door and knocked softly in case she was sleep, and she was, he went in and she was sound asleep.

He loved the way she hugged her pillow instead of laying on it and found it funny that she slept with one leg from under the covers and the other one in, He giggled as he moved a piece of hair from her face, she was too beautiful.
...

In the morning Amora woke up feeling somewhat restricted then she looked down at her waist and saw arms that weren't hers, when she turned over she saw Nico laying there sound asleep. She smiled even though the conversation last night made her feel somewhat upset at him, but now she was willing to forgive.

She just said there for a minute and decided there was something she needed to do, no more playing games.

She slide his arm off gently and get up without waking him. She realized there was no way out, even though everyone was asleep there were still people outside guarding the house, and even if she did escape where would she go?

So she stared snooping, what was really going on between Arturo and Nico?

So she went into a room where she had never been before and she was guessing it was Nico's room and it was. She saw a suit hanging on the closet door so she began her snooping in there.

She looked through the drawers and only found his closets there were just clothes but there was a little box on the floor of the closet behind his shoes. She pulled out the wooden box and took it to the bed with her.

She sat on the edge of it and examined it , then she opened it. There was a newspaper clipping, on it was a story about a woman Marie Vitale, wait isn't Nico's last name Vitale?

She read that Marie was only 69 before she died, supposedly there was a large debate between the hospitals and the police department about weather she died from the cancer or something else. They asked Nico to come forward and speak and he said that he had good reason to believe that Arturo was the one who killed her. But why? Amora questioned.

After the debating Nico's father Angelo fled and left all his money and his family business to Nico.

It made no sense and how did Arturo get away with killing Nico's mother if it's true?

Behind the newspaper clipping there was a picture of a white pill then behind that was a picture of Arturo trading money for the pill the back of that picture had a phone number on it. Then the last picture of was Arturo and his Marie meeting in private.

This made Amora's head spin. Did Nico really believe that Arturo killed his mother and if so what was he going to do to Arturo when he got his hands on him?

Nico. I wish I would have had a chance to explain

The sound of his voice made her jump and drop the wooden box on the floor.

Amora. What is all this? Do you think Arturo killed your mother?

Nico. I have a lot of reason to believe that yes

Amora. I know my brother Nico he would never do this!

Nico. There is a lot you don't know about him
