Her Mafia Prince ✔️

Chapter 30 - You Could Never Repel Me

~ Matteo's POV ~

"Matteo!" Ignoring the sound of Angelo calling me back I grabbed Gabby's hand again and pretty much dragged her out the room since she was too busy staring at me in shock.

We made our way out of the building in complete silence as my mind just kept repeating the conversation I'd just had with Adrian.

Did I intend to tell him I would leave the mafia for Gabriella?

Absolutely not.

Do I intend to leave the mafia?

I have no idea.

"Slow down Matteo."

"Let's just get out of here Gabby." When I didn't slow down Gabriella let out a huff before she pulled her hand out of mine, causing us to come to a stop. I turned around giving her a frustrated look.

"Don't do that Matteo, you can't just pull me around-"

"I'm not pulling you, I'm directing you out of here."

"Directing? Really?" She rolled her eyes at me and walked past me, brushing her shoulder against mine as she walked down the hallway in the direction of the front door. I turned around watching her walk away before I followed her out, staying as close as I could to her without actually walking with her since it was obvious she wasn't happy.

When is she ever happy?

"What's your problem?" Gabriella stopped by my car and turned around to face me with a glare on her face at the sound of my voice.

"Why would you do that? And for me? I never asked you to do that Matteo."

"I can do what I want, I don't need your opinion. It has nothing-" Before I could finish my sentence and without a doubt hurt her, I quickly cut myself off but it didn't matter. She already knew what I was going to say.

"It's nothing to do with me? You're really saying that to me?"

"Gabby-" When I took a step closer to her she just took one away from me and shook her head.

"Just take me home Matteo." I watched as she just walked away from me and got into my car. It was so obvious she was upset and angry and yet she didn't even slam the car door.

She was one of the purest people I'd ever met and I just managed to mess things up with her almost all the time.

I let out a sigh as I shook my head, making my way back to my car too. The whole drive was just tense and silent, nothing like the drive here. I knew she was upset and there was definitely no reason for me to take out my annoyance and anger at Adrian on her, but it just happened.

And I felt like absolute crap straight after.

Adrian just had this power to get to me in ways no one else could, and paired with everything that happened to Gabriella at the hands of my family while I was gone, it just made it all worse.

It was like I walked into that room already angry at him and just seeing him caused some kind of reaction inside of me. So I said all that stuff to him and got even more angry and then took it out on Gabby after.

"Gabby..." I turned to look at her once I pulled up in the drive but the second I parked the car she got out the car and left me sitting there alone.

When I heard her close the front door to the house I let out a groan, closing my eyes as I leaned back against the leather seat of my car.

How was it even possible to go from sharing such an unreal experience with the doctor to her not even leaving the front door open for me?

Just leave it to me to mess something up so much.
