HOPE'S POV

We were all currently seated inside, the boys getting to know Marcus and Matt, and constantly asking us if we were okay. I loved the fact that even though we all didn't know each other that well, they still cared about our well being and wanted to make sure that we were okay. I take that to heart, and I can proudly say that these are my favorite kind of people.

"Now, now," Marcus started. "Let's get down to business. You three," he said while pointing at me, Macit and Daniel, "You were trying to get rid of Petro for four years, but you didn't want to kill him, you just wanted him off your backs. Now that he is off your backs, and long way gone, we should come down to the two important topics - the location of your family and the jewels."

We all nodded. 

"Well, your parents are safe and I know that you have really missed them and want to see them badly, which you will pretty soon, but let's talk about the jewels. Now, I know that Petro wanted the supposed jewels that apparently costed more than one million dollars. Do you have the slightest idea of where they could possibly be?" Marcus asked us.

We looked at each other before answering. "No."

"What did he try to do to you when you told him that you didn't know where they were during those four years?" Matt asked us.

"Whenever we told him we didn't know, at the beginning, he would threaten us. He kidnapped us to show us that he was serious. Then, those past two years, he's been hot on our tails, and kidnapped us once again, as well as physically hurt us," Macit said.

"How'd they hurt you?" Marcus asked.

The boys were all listening closely to the conversation. Daniel continued. "Well, the first time they kidnapped me and Hope, we were sixteen, but they didn't do anything. I don't know why."

"Continue," Ashton said. Marcus looked at him, smiling. "I'm sorry, that was your line."

"It's alright, bro," he told him.

"When they kidnapped us now, for me, they punched me once, and hit me on my leg. They tried to choke me, but it didn't last very long," Macit said.

"They yanked my hair and slapped me," I began, "In the recent incident."

Zayn's nostrils flared. "You said they didn't touch you!"

"They didn't hurt me that much, Zayn, I'm fine. I told you," I tried to assure him. They didn't try to assault me, but they did slap me and disrespect me. When I told Petro that I didn't know where the jewels are, he yanked my hair to try to get me to tell him, but I answered him with a spit on his face. That was obviously a mistake, because I got slapped nearly two seconds after, but he deserved it and I was very much happy with what I did.

"Anyways, you don't know where the jewels are?" Matt asked.

"We have absolutely no idea," Macit answered.

"What if we told you that the jewels are hidden underground?" Marcus said, smiling.

"What do you mean 'hidden underground'?" I asked him, confusion visible on my face.

"Well, before we saved you, the day before, we were observing your house, and we had metal detectors and we searched the entire house plus your garden, and turns out, someone has hid the jewels in your garden, underneath all the soil."

My eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

"The jewels have been in our garden the whole time?" Daniel asked, smiling wide.

"Yes, and I don't know why Petro wanted something that belonged to you guys," Marcus told us.

"Well, since it was a family fued that turned into war, initially Petro thought that the jewels belonged to his passing grandpa, but it was really your grandpa's jewels that he kept for his daughter and grandchildren, which is your mother and you guys," Matt explained.

"So that idiot was following them around for the past four years for something that isn't even his?" Michael said, laughing.

"Yes," Matt answered him. 

I looked at Macit and Daniel.

"This is really over now, isn't it?" I said.

"It's over," Macit said hugging me and Daniel.

"Okay kids, you're going to make me cry," Marcus said.

"Now, anymore questions?" Matt asked. We all shook our head no.

"Alright. About your family, they're safe. They're currently in Italy, and they have missed you so much. You aren't going to Italy of course, they have plane tickets to London tomorrow, and they're arriving at three in the afternoon," Matt said, smiling widely at us.

"Really? Oh my God!" I said, hugging Matt and Marcus.

"Thank you guys, so much," Daniel told them.

"We really apprecaite all of your help," Macit said.

"Group hug!" Harry yelled, and we all hugged each other, like a big family. 

This case was finally over. 

I get to see my parents and Mira tomorrow.

After four years, I can finally get to taste what peace is again.

I was happy. I was finally happy.
