Two Broken Hearts

Chapter twenty-six

Maria's POV:

I was still sitting on my bed, in my room. Where that idiot locked me.

I was starting to get frustrated and was thinking about just shooting all three guards and all of them who get in my way.

Then a knock on the door came.

I quickly stood up and yelled: "It's not like I can unlock it! No need to knock! I'm just a trash to you!"

Then the door unlocked and Alex came in with Matteo behind him.

"Malena, I never said you're trash. Calm down. You have a lot of free will if you could just listen to me." (Little one)  He said as he got out.

I rolled my eyes but then remembered that Alex woke up.

I looked at him and his eyes were yelling "I'm scared".

I sat on the bed and padded the seat next to me, inviting him to sit down.

He sat on the bed and looked at the floor.

"Is everything alright?" I asked, concerned.

"Yup." He said popping the p.

"Is anything bugging you?" I again asked, trying to open him up.

"Nope." Again he answers with one word.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked, seeing that he didn't even say hello when he entered, nor looked at me.

But he didn't answer that. We were in silence for two whole minutes when I decided to ask another question.

"Why are you mad at me?" I asked not in the mood for his mood swings.

He looked at me finally with narrowed eyes and said: "You drugged me! You told me that it was nothing bad and next thing I know I'm out cold."

I rolled my eyes: "Well I didn't have another choice. It was a lot of stress for you and I wanted you to rest without worrying." I said to him.

He nodded.

"What will happen with Emilia and Nora? Will you save them?" He asked almost begging me with his eyes to say yes.

"Of course. Don't worry about that. You're going to be here for some time until I come up with a good plan to save them and then you will be back at your home and I will talk to father. Alright?" I said to him, knowing I have no choice but to go to Ivan and try to make some sense into him.

His Mafia was well organized no matter what kind of a idiot, asshole, prick he was. He had some stupid people like Adrian who was surely a fucking snitch and a lot more people who weren't really reliable.

I could maybe try to contact them and ask them for help but it's too much of a risk and too much at stake. If it was just about me I would maybe put up some kind of risky plan and try to not get caught but now... I couldn't think of anything that I could do to get everyone alive at one piece.

And I know Matteo did say he would take care of it but I know how our system works... There would be either a war between two mafias of there would be Matteo and the men dying because they don't take this task seriously.

My father isn't stupid. He may be a drunk and a lot of stuff but he is for a reason the leader, the Don of the mafia.

After an hour of thinking I still had nothing.

I knew I had to get away from Matteo and somehow tricked him so he would drop his guard down. And I needed that fast!

I settled Alex in one of the rooms. Still close to mine and I started making my way towards Matteo's "business room".
