Delicate Beauty (Mateo love story)

Chapter Sixteen *Edited*

Back at the Solana, Leslie and Liam searched high and low for Angelica. She had somehow disappeared within the last hour, they were concerned for her, she was in no state to be left alone. Leslie sighs as he meets back up with Liam in the lobby, neither having had any luck in finding her. "No luck, son?" Liam shakes his head with a frown.

"No dad, it's like she completely disappeared" Leslie nods sadly as Liam waves his hands about in exasperation.

"What happened to make her upset in the first place?" Liam sits beside Kenneth at the bar as Leslie stands searching his mind for any clues on where his daughter had gone. "It's complicated" his voice is distant as his worries consume his thoughts; Kenneth frowns at his phone.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Leslie turns seeing the two confused at whatever was on their phone. "Just got this text from Mateo?" Kenneth holds the phone up for Leslie to see, the text read Help us! She is trying to kill us.

Leslie's face contorts into one of deep worry "it's his mother in law man! She must have Angelica and Mateo! Call the police!" Leslie takes off running faster than he ever had before, Kenneth and Liam following after him in complete confusion.

Mateo sits in his chair watching Angelica, he was memorizing everything about her, every detail of her beautiful face. He knew that there was a slim chance that they would both get out of this alive, and he was willing to do anything to keep his promise to her. "Mateo, can you get your ropes loose?" her voice is soft but strong as she stares at him, "I will try" he tells her as he pulls on his wrists, wiggling his hands in an attempt to free them.

His body shifts to the side with too much force resulting in the chair tipping over, leaving Mateo still attached to the chair and on his side, his shoulder hitting the floor with force. Angelica laughs quietly at him "that's one way to do it" she teases.

She rolls her eyes as Mateo smirks "I do no see you are free" he comments smugly. His eyes widen as Angelica stands, her hands free from the chair.

"Easy" she grins with a shrug as she walks over to Mateo, the smile remaining on her face.

She stops attempting to untie Mateo at the sound of a knock on the front door, she could hear her father's voice through the small window of the room they were stuck in. It wasn't big enough to climb through but it allowed them to hear whoever was outside the residence. "Now, we know you have Angelica and Mateo in there so hand them over and we'll forget this. Nae bother." Angelica frowns at the thought of her father getting hurt, she could hear Kenneth and Liam agreeing which only added to her concern for them.

Her eyes meet Mateo's in panic as screams erupt from Liam and Kenneth's mouths, each running away from the residence in panic and fear. "We have to get out of here. Now" Angelica nods to Mateo in determination.

Outside panic had set in, Leslie couldn't bear the thought of his only daughter trapped in that house with Dolores. She was crazy, her eyes dark as she pointed the shotgun at them just moments before. They now stood outside behind the car, the police having just arrived, they hadn't been any help. They stood asking the three of them questions about the situation, clearly having no current intentions to check the residence out.

"Look, my daughter is in there with that mad woman, are you going to go and get her or just stand there with your dicks between your legs?" Leslie ripped his wig off in frustration as her glares at the police officers. He had no time for this, his daughter's life was on the line.

The officers stare down angrily at him "eso es rico viniendo de un transexual" they spit the words before chuckling. Liam frowns as he stares at the residence, he felt sorry for his sister, she really wasn't having the best time in Benidorm so far.

A single shot rings out cutting all the commotion off, each person jumps at the loud sound. Leslie's head shoots towards the home, his fears surfacing as he tries to run to the residence only for the officers to stop him forcefully.
