Nails POV:

The car drive was silent, I looked out the window the whole time afraid of everything that could happen.

I could feel Mattia giving me glances, but I shrug it off.

"I live on the street to the left, you can drop me off and I can walk to my house from there" I say.

He turns the steering wheel left with one hand, wow that's hot.

He kept driving down the street.

"You can drop me off here" I say and he keeps driving ignoring me.

"You can drop me off here" I repeat and he keeps driving down the street towards my house.

I sigh "that's my house to the left" I say and he pulls up in the drive way.

"Thank you, for everything" I say as I get out of the car and walk inside, to find no one home.

Mattias car was still there.

I called my parents and they didn't pick up i was scared. Their car wasn't home.

What do I do?

I walked outside to Mattia's car.

I get in his car and turn to him angry.

"Did you do anything with my parents?" I ask

"Your parents? What?" He was so confused.

"Don't lie to me, I know your tricks" I say and he was clueless.

"Where are my parents did you kidnap them? Tell me now" I say harshly and he laughs.

"I don't even know what they look like, quit making accusations towards me" he says harshly.

"Don't lie to me!" I say and grab him by his leather jacket with instant regret after.

He pinned me down on the car seat roughly and looked at me in anger.

"Get out, and next time you accuse me of anything I will kill you Nalia" he lets go of me harshly.

I get out of his car and walk inside.

He immediately left speeding off.

I call my aunt and she answers, thank god.

"Hey auntie, have you seen my mom?" I ask

"Yes yes! She's here even your father, and Grandmother! Their sleeping the night" she says and I sigh in relief.

"Okay good, I love you" I say and she returns it before shutting the phone.

I felt guilty that I accused Mattia straight away, just because he's bad doesn't mean he would kidnap my parents.

I felt so much guilt I just sat there thinking how dumb I am.

The reason he didn't drop me off to walk home is because he warned me it was dangerous.

What am I going to do?

I was tired.

I fell asleep on the couch.

I hear my phone ringing over and over. I open my eyes and see the person that works with me call.

It was 4:37am.

"Nalia! Guess what?"

"It's 4 am" I yawn.

"ALEJANDRO ROSARIO IS ALIVE!!" He yells and I immediately sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"Really?" I ask

"Yess, I've spent all week investigating, and knew something wasn't right" he says

"I'm so happy! Do you know where he is located?" I ask

"No not quit, somewhere in New Jersey" he says and I nod.

"I'll find him hopefully" I say

"Hey Nalia how is Mattia Polibio? I know it's a hard case that requires a ton of time" he says.

"Uh- yeah it's working out. The case needs a few more months" I say

"Okay well, I'm sorry I woke you up" he chuckles.

"It's okay, I'm gonna maybe stay up" I say and hang up.

I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth and wash my face, then let my hair down.

I went into the kitchen, and saw the one and only Mattia Polibio, my eyes widened.

"Ahh!" I yell and jump up in fear.

He looked angry, really angry. He had bags under his eyes and his hair was messed up.

Still looks hot.

He stood up walking over to me.

He pushed me up against the counter and then I feel something on my neck. A knife.

"You never returned the case cold" he whispers, his voice deep and raspy.

"I was-soon" I stutter.

"Don't fuck with me. I'm not dumb" he says presses the knife against my flesh harder.

"I can't return the case cold! I've been working on it long enough and then return with nothing"I say

He grips my jaw tightly, "You said something, you lied, you make excuses. Not a smooth move now is it? Princess" he says.

"You didn't kill Alejandro" I say.

"No I didn't" he says and then I remember all the guilt I had from before.

"I-I'm sorry-y, for earlier. I'm sorry that I accused you of something you didn't do..im sorry Mattia" I say and he backs up.

He doesn't say anything.

"If the case doesn't go cold,........god knows what will" and with that he leaves.
