NANA'S PETMatteo needed his privacy from everyone and everything. He knew Nana hated the farmhouse because it brought back memories of her husband.His grandfather loved to plant vegetables and flowers in the garden, and Nana always helped him. Together, they would spend hours tending to the plants and enjoying each other's company.When his grandfather passed away, she did not have the strength to go on planting. That was how it was abandoned and that part of her that loved to grow things had died with the love of her life.Matteo had always hidden in the farmhouse as a child when he wanted to be alone or whenever Nana's hovering and nagging became too much to bear. He would often climb up the tall oak tree in the yard.It was a peaceful escape from the chaos of his everyday life. Upon reaching the huge entrance, he found out that it had been locked with a padlock. The door design was a latch-style lock.He removed his suit and smiled. It was a good thing he could still pick locks.

Priscilla entered the house and headed for Nana's chamber to relay the bad news to her. However, the room was empty by the time she got there. She wondered where Nana could be.

STUCK IN A PITMatteo sat there in stunned silence, unable to comprehend what his grandmother had said."That's enough talking for now, you look like you need time to let it all sink in," Nana said, deeply enjoying her grandson's discomfort."Somebody should not have run away from home," Priscilla jeered."And you've been utterly ineffective in your duty," Nana spat coldly at Priscilla.

140. THE KING OT CHESSMatteo understood the concern coming from his bodyguard but this was something he had to do alone. He needed the closure."Sir you realize that you are going behind enemy lines," Black Hound voiced out with slight annoyance."I understand but this is something that I have to do alone, it is a personal matter," Matteo casually replied to his bodyguard.Black Hound said nothing else. There was no changing his boss's mind."Besides, I do not want them to know about our business just yet," Matteo further added."That is if Priscilla is going to be present," Black Hound said."She is the mastermind behind this, of course, she will be there," Matteo said with certainty."Is that not more of a reason for me to come along? The stakes are higher than before sir," Black Hound insisted."The more reason for you to stay back. After all, you are my Trump card," Matteo replied as he adjusted his tie."How do I look?"

This was mostly because Nicholas was at the center of the matter.He had been bailed by Dr. Amorr and was sitting in her car. He had pretended to be so ashamed of himself when she had come for him but dropped the charade in the car."You can drop me off at home, thank you," Nicholas arrogantly said as he relaxed to rest his eyes.It had been a long day. He opened his eyes and stretched his tired muscles, feeling the tension slowly dissipate. He looked outside the window ignoring the driver who had earlier helped him."Welcome," Dr. Amorr abruptly interrupted his short sightseeing.Nicholas made to get down and hissed in pain. He had felt so relaxed that he had forgotten about his sprained ribs. He slowly got down from the car, wincing from the pain it caused him with every step that he took forward.B
