Two Broken Hearts

Chapter twenty-four

Maria's POV:

My breath stopped. My finger still on the trigger and the blondie still turned around, frozen in her spot.

I didn't know what to do so I grabbed the blondie by her hair and turned her around. Her eyes were scared and big.

I made her kneel and stood behind her. We were now both facing Matteo. I still held a gun pointed at her head.

Matteo looked shocked and confused. His eyebrows were raised and his eyes were big looking at me like he saw a ghost.

I spoke first.

"What are you doing here?" I asked the question that I wanted to know the most, but I had like 10 more to ask.

"This is my club. But more importantly; why were you about to kill Sarah? Can you put down the gun and let her go?" He asked.

"Your club? OK. Well she is the girl I was sent to kill. How do you know her?" I asked, praying that she isn't a member of his Mafia.

"She is in my mafia. What do you mean you were supposed to kill her? Isn't some girl named Sabrina your target?" He said, louder.

Sabrina or Sarah, whatever her name was whimpered from down there.

"Sabrina is her fake name that she uses with other mafias and gangs. I need to kill her Matteo, I'm sorry. I hope she isn't important." I said as I was about to pull the trigger but was stopped by someone.

I was tackled down by one men who was right now holding me on the ground.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I screamed at his face. It was the guy that stopped me before I went in the VIP lounge.

"You were about to shoot her, I'm her brother." He said as his hand made it's way around my neck.

He started choking me and trapped my hands behind me. I tried to get out of his tight grip but he only put more pressure on my neck and my vision blurred.

I heard Matteo yell: "Let her go, asshole."

The guy stopped choking me for a moment and I slammed my head against his. He fell to the ground next to me, cursing under his breath.

I put my heel on his neck and he tried to get up but couldn't.

He started to choke and I smiled: "It's not nice is it?" I mocked.

Matteo then lifted me of off him and made me face him.

"We need to talk, like right now."

We were now in the house.

Matteo, Sarah, her brother and my three men.

Matteo was glaring at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I am supposed to be mad at you, you didn't let me finish my task." I said, my voice full of frustration.

"Maria, you don't fuck with my fucking members, is that clear?" He asked getting in my face and that made me pretty mad.

I pushed him away and glared at him.

"I don't fucking care who the fuck she is! You don't get to interfere in my job! Which by the way I didn't do! This bitch will cost me not just my money or my client. She will cost me my head maybe. This client is dangerous and if tomorrow I do not bring her fucking dead body to him... I will be the dead body. Matteo you choose who will it be, her or me?" I asked but I didn't worry I already knew the answer.

He rolled his eyes.

"Maria, Sarah is important to me. She is a member here for a long time and frankly I can't afford to lose her right now, she does many tasks." He said calmly.
