Chapter Eighteen
“Hey… you have a nightmare, wake up…” Matteo was glad that it was just a nightmare. He thought someone managed to break in and was about to kill her. Calming himself down, he hides away his guns. He was still highly tensed when he reached her side.
She sobbed in his arms while he was holding onto her half-naked body.
“Amara, you got to… I’m sorry.” Matteo moved backed away from her. He was hard when her soft supple body clings to his side.
“I’m sorry, I should’ve…” but she was still sobbing and hugging her knees, she couldn’t contain her shock when she dreams about how she was watching them gunned down Leo, Matteo, Paolo, and lastly Peter. All four of her family member stood in front of the guys who were kneeling before them then all looked at her saying to her that it was all her fault.
“I just…”
Matteo couldn’t bear seeing her in such sadness so he finally grabbed her and cradled her. He was hugging her tight, and she could definitely feel his hardness.
“Just ignore my stupid dick. I’m here for you. I got you.”
His words were surprisingly calming her, though she did feel him but he was soothing her in a nonsexual way until her sobs fade away.
“You want to talk about it?”
“No… can you just hold me? sleep to my side?”
“Eh… I think you should put on more clothes.”
“Okay…”
Morning came too soon and Matteo was not there when she wakes up. Her tears fall when she remembered Antonio, how she would wake up next to him and he greeted her with his forehead kisses.
“Should I come back later?” Matteo asked when he saw her shed a tear. He was looking fresh, fully clothed, and bringing her a steaming cup of coffee and apparently breakfast in bed.
“I will be okay, I’ll join you in the kitchen,” Amara said wiping her tears away. Our Matteo was having an awkward situation and it shows making Amara let out her sexy laugh which makes him more awkward in his other region.
He cursed at himself for getting hard every time she lets out her sexy little laugh. Seemed like he has a new trigger for his long unattended dick.
“Yeah… okay.” Matteo, the most feared Italian underboss actually blushes while retreating to the kitchen.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
There’s no mission!
Down you big tool!
Our clumsy brute tried to communicate with his partner in the nether region and failing badly as he was still having a hard-on.
He spent the most uncomfortable breakfast that morning, up until it was time for them to leave his place and go to Leo’s then straight to her family home.
The plan had been set the day before, they were all ready to go, Leonardo joined them in his home office minutes after Amara and Matteo.
“Amara, are you sure about this? this is important, they’re all in on this and we could easily kill them all for you. You could do the easy way and escape the country while we deal with your family.”
Leo’s words were full of vengeance, surely because of Antonio. While Amara was sticking to her mind that she wanted to look them in the eyes when it happens.
She was taking a deep breath, her mind was going back to her dad and her Antonio. Amara’s small change of body language didn’t go unnoticed by Matteo when he whispered his words to Leo. The Italian Don smiles at him then patted Amara on her shoulder.
“It’s not your fault Amara, we need to make sure we do this right. We need you mentally prepared for this.”
“Okay, I’m good… shit, maybe I’m not. Fuck!” she hurriedly stepped out of his home office and paced herself while her eyes were getting teary.
She was in his arms and hugged Matteo tightly the moment he went to get her. He sighed and rubbed her back softly, he was making improvement and she was relaxing in his embrace moments later.
“You’re getting better at this.” She pulled herself back and took a deep breath when she felt she was in control of her emotion. He smiled widely and strangely out of place and that made her laugh at him.
“Yeah, he does that sometimes…” Leo cuts in as he saw Amara laugh at Matteo’s quirkiness.
“Are you ready to go over the plan again? Peter and Paolo had just arrived, we will go through it together.” Leonardo interrupted their closeness and Matteo nodded to him thanking him on the inside for getting him out of the awkward situation.
And just as if they were called Peter greeted her with a hug, a too cheerful one making Mateo squinted his eyes and give Paolo a calculated look, which he retorted back by raising his eyebrow challenging the underboss.
“Boys, quit it…. now is not the time, come let’s do this we don’t have much time. We don’t want to make them think we’re planning something behind their back.”
Twenty minutes later Amara and Peter were back in Matteo’s car, while Paolo and Leo stayed behind and monitor their plan remotely.
“You got this boss.”
“I know Peter, I just need to stay calm. How’s your wound?” Amara asked while she was checking emails on her phone.
“I’m taking my medication so I’m numb, but it’s good. Paolo thinks it’s healing nicely.”
“Paolo huh?” she smirked at him but didn’t have time to ask further when Matteo said that they’d arrived.
“I will stay quiet, remember do not converse with me. Act as I’m just your regular bodyguard, no eye contact. Peter, remember the signals then press the codes to your phone. Is the audio on? Don? Paolo?”
They tested the audio one more time before Amara takes her steps back to her childhood home. Her butler was not there to greet her but she was prepared. She appeared shocked as planned but stay calm.
Matteo brought two of their trusted men to have his back and Peter’s while he would guard Amara’s with his life.
“Amara, why so many guards? you are among family. Peter, how are you?”
Colton asked with a knowing look, he must’ve been advised that Peter was hurt during the last shootout. Amara cracked her facade but gain it back when she saw her fake mom walking towards her oldest son.
“Colton, please ask them to join us in the home office.”
Amara was boiling on the inside thinking that they were about to kill her in her dad’s office. The possibilities were talked about previously and Leo was right. They were going to make it look as if she was committing suicide in her dad’s home office. Obviously, it was easier for them to convince the authorities since Amara loved and lost both men at the same time. And frustration would easily be the best indicator of suicide.
“Why don’t we have a drink first?” Amara said to Violet, ushering her to the family lounge. And she easily agreed and told Colton to go and get Clifford and Cyrus from her dad’s sanctuary.
That was her code, the killings were about to go down. Leo didn’t want the shootout to happen in the home office, he needs to make sure that Amara and Peter come out alive.
“Okay, this is happening. Matteo, guard Amara with your life, all in position you all know what to do.” Leo talked on the earpiece while Amara, Peter, and Matteo act as calm as the wave before the violent storm hit.
