Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Seven - Luigi Is Alive And Back
Lost in his thoughts Matteo walked down the street, unaware that he had left the residential neighborhood far behind him. Amelia’s accusations disturbed him to the brink of losing his mind. He cared little about himself, having always lived dangerously. It was the thought he failed her which gripped his heart. A car screeched to a halt beside him, bringing him out of his reverie. He instantly stopped in his tracks to look and froze immediately upon seeing two men emerge from the car. Were they here to get him? He couldn’t take the risk of being captured! Matteo ran into the shopping mall he had just crossed. He could hear the footsteps of the men chasing him. So he was right. They were here to grab him! But who were they? With Costello’s men and the NSM arrested, who would want to capture him now? He entered the mall and hid behind a wall. As he looked outside, he gasped with shock at seeing Luigi standing at the entrance with the men. So Luigi was alive! He had produced fake evide
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Eight - Matteo Saves Alex
“Don’t stop. Please follow that car. They’re kidnapping my nephew!” said Matteo to the cab driver. After Di Salvo left, he took a cab to return to Ryan’s house, but before he could reach it, he saw Alex rush out of the house. Before he could reach him, a Honda Civic pulled up beside the little boy and two men emerged. They grabbed him and climbed inside, speeding away immediately. Realization hit Matteo hard, and they chased the car. “Do you have a phone with you? I left mine at home. Please, can you let me call the cops?” asked Matteo agitatedly. With the criminals escaping with Alex, he had to act fast. “Sure. Here.” The cab driver handed him his mobile phone. Matteo called 911 and informed them about the kidnap. He gave them details about Alex. “Can you keep the phone switched on for the police to track our location?” “Sure. Are you a tourist?” asked the cab driver as they negotiate around a turn and tailed the Honda Civic. “No, I’m visiting my wife’s family.” “The car's he
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Nine - No News Of Matteo
“Alex? Where did you find him? Who are you? Why did you kidnap our child?” asked Megan hysterically, rushing forward to take Alex from his arms. “Mom, I’m fine now. This uncle saved me from the bad men,” sobbed Alex, clinging to his mom. “I’m Andy Stewart. I’m the cab driver who brought his uncle here in the evening, but we witnessed your child’s kidnapping. We tailed the Honda Civic to Kensington Avenue and rescued the child. The criminals wanted his uncle. I didn’t wish to leave him there, but he was adamant. I’ve informed the local police and they will rescue him.” Megan scoffed, not believing his story. “Are you sure you aren’t involved in this for money?” she asked, carrying Alex inside. “I wouldn’t have risked my life and helped his uncle rescue him. I wouldn’t have brought him home in that case, but called you for a hefty ransom,” said the cab driver. “Uncle? What’s his name?” asked Amelia with wide eyes. Did he mean Matteo? “I didn’t ask his name, but I have an audio rec
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Seventy - Matteo Couldn't Die
“That’s what we’re trying to find. We have checked the traffic cameras at the Kensington Avenue Somerset Street Crossing. A white Nissan Rogue crossed the place once at 8:10 in the evening and back the same way at 8:55. We have two witnesses who have seen the car near the alley. The traffic control department is hunting for the car. Surely, it’s the one that took Matteo away from the crime scene.” Ryan massaged had temples as they looked like a lost case to him. It didn’t look like Matteo was alive. “Have you checked at the nearby hospitals for a critical patient with a gunshot wound?” “Yes, we have checked all the hospitals in the neighboring bureaus. There’s no news of Matteo. Maybe they’ve changed his name and admitted him somewhere if he’s alive. We have scanned the neighborhood for his body too. There’s no news so far. I’ll call you if there’s an update.” Ryan couldn’t face his sister after disconnecting the call. “What did he say? Have they found him yet?” asked Amelia, her e
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Seventy-One - Matteo Is Alive
Amelia gave birth to a healthy baby girl after eight hours. Matteo’s Mama had tears of happiness in her eyes when she held Matteo’s baby for the first time in her arms. The next day, Amelia returned home with her baby and they named her Mariella. Every time Amelia stared at Mariella's honey-hued baby eyes, her own filled up with tears. She looked so much like her dad. If only Matteo could see the angel who had come into their lives.“I wish Matteo could see her!” Amelia said, with tears in her eyes. They all sighed, trying not to break down in front of her.“No one wants to open the case without evidence. I will hire a private investigator if you want, but that will cost a fortune,” said Marco. “How much will it cost?” asked Amelia. “I’ll find out and get back. We can jointly bear the cost.” They approached a very efficient PI with an impeccable track record, Michael Shelby. He collaborated with Amelia, who still hadn’t given up hope. After a fortnight, Marco received a terminatio
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Seventy-Two - Revenge On Luigi
Two days later, Matteo left for Spain with Di Salvo and Luca to kill the enemy. He still didn’t get back his memory, despite trying his best to remember. Therefore, he totally depended on these two for the details. Many times he had the feeling they were keeping things from him, but he hardly spoke to them more than the bare minimum. It was futile to ask them much, as they avoided divulging information about him. Matteo longed to know about his family, but mostly he longed to know about Emilia. But whom could he ask?They stayed in Madrid for two days to take an overview of the situation. Di Salvo engaged his spies to give him a rough idea of Luigi’s whereabouts. “Luigi has five armed men always around him. It would be difficult to outwit them and get to him. We need to plan this well,” said Di Salvo, watching a video of Luigi walking out of a busy commercial building to his car. “Tomorrow, Luigi will be here in Madrid to strike a weapon deal. You can attack him then. I’ll forward t
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Seventy-Three - Matteo Remembers His Family
They climbed into Greco's car waiting outside when gunshots rang in the air. “Quick, Greco! Drive faster!” yelled Di Salvo, looking behind his shoulder at the two men chasing them. Greco sped away just in time and Matteo released a breath of relief. “I’ve completed the mission, Don. You promised to release me,” reminded Matteo.“Not yet. I’ll release you only when Luigi is dead.” For the next ten days, they had no information on Luigi. Even Greco didn’t know if he was alive. Di Salvo mourned his brother’s death every evening, drinking until midnight and crying for him. He was the only one the Don was close to. This time, two men stood constant guard outside their house. “Don, we have to vacate in five minutes. Luigi’s men have located us. They’ll attack us anytime!” said Greco, rushing in. Within minutes, they jumped into a car and escaped the place. On the way, Greco received a call that Luigi was alive and had attacked the house they were staying in. “We escaped just in time. L
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Seventy-Four - Evita's Visit
Florence, Italy“Mrs. Ricci, there’s someone who wants to meet you,” said Officer De Felice of the Direzione Investigativa Antimafia (Anti-Mafia Investigation Division). Amelia was instantly on her guard. “Who is it, officer?” she grabbed her five-year-old daughter instinctively. “Someone called Evita Ricci.” Amelia’s eyes widened with surprise. Who could she be? Was she related to Matteo? Hope filled her heart, and she left Mariella with Matteo’s Mama and followed the officer to the visitor’s lounge. The last five years had been quite traumatic for them. Four years ago, after a failed kidnapping attempt by Luigi and his men in New York, they had been having a tough time coping. Sensing more danger ahead of them, Marco came over to take them to Florence with him. He had landed a good job in Florence and had just settled down when Luigi attacked again.
