Two Broken Hearts

Chapter twenty-three

Matteo's POV:

Right now I was at one of my clubs in the VIP section, talking about shipments and deals.

I couldn't concentrate. I didn't like that I cared for this girl so much that I couldn't even work.

I was just thinking about where is she and what is she doing at this moment. I gave her one of my best men. And I hope they will look out for her.

Today Sarah was with me at the club. She saw I was tense and she worked instead of me today. She pulled me aside with her.

"Matteo what's happening? You're not in your element today." She asked, her voice full of concern.

She was a good girl. A little older than me but she did a good job at seducing the men when we needed that type of mission.

"I have some business to attend to back at the house. I just want to go."
I said quickly not wanting to tell her about Maria because... She likes me. We have some kind of past together. Not anything serious. We slept together a few times. But I made it clear it was just sex.

"Matteo come on. Take the edge of, this is your club. Drink a little, let loose. I'm here, I will take care of the deals. Anyway you have Antonio here, he is looking out for you too. Just relax." She said while her hand was on my shoulder.

I glanced at her hand than back at her.

"I just want to go. I will be here 20 more minutes than I'm going. And go do something useful." I said bitterly not in the mood for her games.

She looked at me, clearly offended.

"I'm going out for a smoke." She said and stepped back.

Ehh... She will get over it.

I sat down in the plush seat as I drank my whiskey.

All of a sudden a strange looking Antonio came to me.

"What's up? You look confused." I said tapping him on the shoulder.

"I'm... I'm just confused, yeah. Can I see your rings?" He asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows: "Sure?" I said skeptically.

I showed him my hands full of mafia and family rings.

"Where is your gold one, on the pinky?" He asked.

I smiled to myself a little but quickly composed: "Oh, you noticed. I took it of today, gave it to a new member, you're going to meet her." I said.

His eyebrows rose: "Her? It's a girl?" He asked.

I glared a little: "Yes, but she's off limits! She is gorgeous but you can't touch her." I said seriously.

He chuckled nervously: "Okay Boss.. I will ask you something, I swear it's very important. Is she kind of short, long black hair in a ponytail, dresses in black and has a gun?" He asked, sweat dripping from his forehead.

I stood up and he followed.

"Where is she? Where did you see her, is she alright?" I asked, while taking my gun out. All the people around looked at me and my serious state. They all stopped talking.

"Nothing to see here!" I yelled and they quickly averted there gazes.

"Where is she???!" I whisper yelled to him while shoving my gun to his stomach.

He gulped.

"Boss, sh... She was at the club. And I saw she ha... Has a gun. I took her to the back room and I saw your ring on her finger so I went over to ask you. Nothing happened to her she is in the back room." He said, beyond scared.

I sighed. The huge relief washed over me.

I quickly began going to the back room and as soon as I saw the door half opened... I knew she wasn't there.

The first thought that came to my mind was: someone took her.

I looked inside and found a bobby pin on the floor.

Of course she didn't stay inside.

I rolled my eyes.

Antonio came behind me and gulped seeing the scene.

"Sh.. she was right there. I locked her in a told her to stay inside!" He said.

"You're dumb! You should have brought her to me! Go and look at the security cameras!" I yelled and he started running towards the security room.

I was on my way to check outside.

I got to the back door. I opened them and I saw the back of Maria... She was holding a gun at Sarah.

The first words that left my mouth were: "The fuck?"

A/N: Little short I know! But if I change POV and continue writing it will be too long! Sorry, next one is going to be looong!
