MATEO

The man knelt before Renzetti, shaking like a leaf. His hands were pressed together as he begged for his life, tears rolling down his face like streams, but Renzetti felt nothing. No sympathy. No pity.

“I swear, I’ll return the money in two days! Just give me 48 hours!” he pleaded.

Renzetti smiled, tilting his head slightly. “Two days?” He repeated, pretending to consider it. “Fine. You have 48 hours.”

He looked relieved, and it was obvious in the way he sighed. Fool.

“But,” Renzetti added, his voice suddenly turned cold, “if you even think about running or going to the cops, I promise you’ll regret ever crossing me.”

He nodded quickly, swearing with his life. “I promise, I won’t. I swear on my life.”

“I’ll have my men watch you,” he continued. “One wrong move, and you won’t live to regret it.”

“Thank you! Thank you!” he stammered, scrambling to his feet.

Renzetti waved his hand dismissively. “Go.”

He stood up, dusting his knees before attempting to leave. That was his f

    MATEOI was so vexed that I left without saying a word to anyone. I didn’t care to notice Isaac De Mante even when I could clearly hear him calling my name.“Get me out of here!” I ordered, and without questioning, my driver drove me off. “Damn!” I yelled, slamming my fist at the passenger seat. “Bruno!”“Is everything alright?” My driver asked, staring at me from the rearview mirror.“Just drive me home and quit asking.”As soon as we arrived home, I didn’t wait for him to open the door, I did it myself, slamming it behind me. I stormed into the mansion, only to meet the three women engrossed in a conversation. My appearance caused them to stop, and I stopped abruptly, staring at their faces.“Mateo, is everything alright?” Mom asked, giving me a questioning look. “You look... angry.” She gasped, pointing at my face. “Please don’t tell me you got into a fight with someone.”My gaze shifted from her to Lily, who looked concerned, and then to Clara who had a confused look on her face,

    CLARAMs. Antonia still looked worried. At first, I didn’t want to ask, but I had no choice. “You don’t look good, Ms. Antonia. Why not check on him and ask what the problem is. You’re his mother, I’m sure he’ll definitely talk to you.”She shook her head. “I tried, Clara, but he prefers to lock himself in there like I don’t mean a thing to him. I don’t want to believe he can handle it all by himself, but... he won’t give me a chance to understand his pain.”I felt sad for her. I wasn’t bold enough to take the step to ask him what the problem was. He couldn’t even give his mother a chance, would he give me?She held my hands. “What about you ask him yourself, I’m pretty sure he’ll listen to you better.”My eyes flew open, she was joking, right? How am I supposed to approach him with his current condition? I’m certainly sure he wouldn’t even listen to a single word out of my mouth.“Ms. Antonia...”She didn’t let me talk, she cut in. “You don’t have to say no to this, besides sooner th

    MATEO“There might be people who can’t express how concerned they are, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care.” I watched as tears clouded her eyes as she said that.Why do I feel like there was more to this than just words?No one has ever dared to speak back at me, not to talk about raising their voices. letting them say a word without dishing out the consequences wasn't a thing to me. But for some reason I wish I knew; I couldn’t do anything while I watched her talk to me like a kid.I listened to her. I’ll admit, I hated myself for my actions even though the last thing I wanted to do was show it out.“I’ll leave you to rest,” she said, heading for the door. “Sorry if I bothered you though.”I watched her leave, shutting the door behind her. For a moment, I just stood there, cursing at myself for looking weak and stupid before her. I hated how I couldn’t do anything; I hated how I couldn’t treat her like I did to the others who crossed boundaries. Not even my ex could stand it when

    MATEOMy head spun and I was close to tearing the table down with the level of anger burning inside of me.Renzetti murdered my father?And all these while I’ve always thought he was better than anyone else, way better than those men on the table. Little do I know he was the devil in sheep’s clothing.Worse, he was my real enemy.There wouldn’t be any reason other than he needed the glory for himself. He wanted the seat; and the recognition that came with it. He wanted to be noticed, to be called world famous.But then, why was I knowing all this now?“Why didn’t no one tell me about this, why am I getting to know now?” I questioned.“Because your father instructed me not to. Mateo, we all know that if you ever get to know, you won’t hesitate to take action. No matter what, your father believes in peace and not war. And that was how he conquered his enemies. That was how he was able to get to what he was before he died. Everything is not about war, son.”“There are times when war need

    MATEOIsaac sat before me; our wines were yet untouched. He didn’t look frightened, nor concerned. He was only curious why I had called him here.“You said you wanted to discuss something with me, right?” He stated. “I’m listening.”“How come you knew all this while and yet you said nothing about it to me.”Isaac furrowed his brows, “I don’t understand. What are you talking about?”I slammed my fist on the table. He didn’t flinch, like he knew I was going to do that. He only blinked his eyes. “Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about, De Mante.” I growled.“Maybe it’s time you go straight to the point, son. I honestly have no idea what...”His words were only pissing me off, I couldn’t hold back. “I stared at Isaac, my chest tightening with anger and betrayal. My voice was low, but the weight behind it was impossible to ignore. “You knew the truth about my father’s death all this time, and you said nothing?” I asked, my hands clenched into fists. “You let me live believin

    MATEOI couldn’t kill him; not like I didn’t want to. But at least, I needed to know who this enemy he was referring to before I thought of ending his life.“Return him to the cell,” I ordered and turned my back to leave.Things were getting even more interesting as the day passed by, and I was beginning to realize all these while I was left in the dark, living with my little knowledge and fantasies that I’d known just enough about the games.Maybe I do know, but not as much as I expected.As soon as we were out of the dungeon, Dominic asked me why I couldn’t kill Bruno. “Don’t tell me you believe his words. He might be saying that to save his life, you know.”“I know. But sometimes we need to act stupid just to get what we want.” I looked at him, “And I just did that.”We continued walking, heading to the mansion. “Bruno seems to know more than enough, and if his words had any link to Renzetti, then that’s even more interesting.”“Let me guess, you want to use him as bait?”“I don’t

    CLARAI wasn’t expecting him to notice that. If anything, I wasn’t expecting him to have thought there was something more. Why would my life have to be so complicated? Was it a crime to ever be loved or fall in love? Worse, to someone who wants you to share the same bed with him, yet expects nothing from you at all.“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten the contract so soon.” He had this smile that made me want to slap it off his face. “Or do I have to remind you of it?”At this point, my heart was beating so fast, his closeness was so intimidating that I doubted I could survive for the next five minutes. Mentally, I wished he’d create the longest distance between us.As if he read my thoughts, he pulled away. “I bet Lily would be waiting for us,” his smile grew even wider. For God’s sake, can he just stop smiling? “Let’s not keep her waiting.”I was left alone, wailing in my thoughts. I hated myself for being too cheap to be read. I never thought he’d find out one of these days. I never th

    CLARAEverything that happened the previous day was still stuck in my head. Every single detail of how Mateo had pulled me to himself, how close his face was to mine, how his scent had almost made me go crazy. Not to talk of how intimidating his closeness was.We did sleep together, but I made sure I gave enough distance between the both of us. He did mention it, though not like he took it too personally.“I think I’m better off this way,” I told him. “I need to get some sleep, and you too.” As much as I tried every means to hate him, I just couldn’t find the perfect one.I mentally expected him to say something, at least a protest, but no. he didn't. Every reason I came up with only sprung my feelings for him, and I hated it. I was supposed to be hating him, and not the opposite.I woke up earlier than usual. I couldn’t sleep because my chest wouldn’t let me. It was so troubling that it felt like I was lifting the world’s burden. However, Mateo was still asleep, snoring soundly like

    CLARAI was days past my due date and at a point, I thought I was going to opt for an induction because of how stubborn this baby was.To make matters worse, I was so uncomfortable that I had to be put on bed rest which meant that the baby shower had to be postponed.I just wanted this baby out. I was so over being pregnant and honestly, I wanted to hold my baby.When my water finally broke in the middle of the kitchen, it was just me and Christopher in the house. Thankfully, he didn’t panic.I told him where my hospital bag was upstairs and he ran to get it, before getting in the car and driving me to the hospital.I tried to reach out to Lucaa on my way to the hospital but I couldn’t get through to her so I left a text, hopefully it went through. But the contractions came all of a sudden during the short ride to the hospital and judging by my calculations, they were less than two minutes apart which was weird because I shouldn’t be feeling this much pain when my water just broke.I

    MATEOI was woken by the sound of my ringing phone and I grabbed it from the nightstand as quickly as I could so I wouldn’t wake, Clara.I answered the call and put it to my ear. “What the hell, Dominic? It’s fucking three am in the morning,” I whispered.“Something’s come up and we need to meet,” he said.I looked at the number he had called me at. “You’re using your burner phone, can’t you just tell me what it is now? Or better still couldn’t this wait until dawn?”“I wouldn’t be calling you if it wasn’t important and no, I can’t take the chance and tell you over the phone so we need to meet now,” he replied.Fuck!Dominic wouldn’t be acting like this if everything was okay and all fingers were pointing at the bait I had him set.“Fine, let’s meet at the warehouse on the edge of town,” I said.“Got it,” he replied and ended the call.I sighed and checked to see whether Clara was still sleeping. Thankfully, she still was.She hadn’t been getting enough sleep because of her discomfo

    DOMINIC“It seems our little play worked out perfectly. I haven’t seen my babysitter in a while. Whatever you did, it must have been enough to scare him away,” Mateo said.“I guess it’s a good thing he listened to my warning,” I replied but he narrowed his eyes at me.“Did you kill him, Dominic?” he asked.I laughed and shook my head. “I’m sure I’ll know if I did.”“That’s not an answer,” Mateo responded.“No, I did not kill him,” I replied. “I only injured him enough to pass my message across and left him in the woods.”“Good, the last thing I want is a war to break out before we have our affairs in order.”“I know that more than anyone else, Mateo,” I said. “How was the meeting with Bruno?”“It went okay,” he replied. “Actually, it kinda gave me an idea.”“Hmmm… I’m not switching clothes with you ever again if that’s what you’re thinking,” I joked.“Nah… I think once was more than enough,” he replied.“Then what is this grand plan of yours?” I asked.“I can’t go to war without co

    DOMINICShit!Mateo’s plan actually worked and his babysitter was currently on my tail. But fuck, he was really shitty at his job.Renzetti really needed to invest in better men because this was like taking candy from a baby.I intentionally drove to the other side of town and headed towards the woods. This area was secluded and hardly got any foot traffic because of the rumors of wild animals lurking in the woods.I personally knew that the story was bullshit but we had found enough dead bodies here to make the story believable. So I figured this was the perfect spot to get myself acquainted with our friend.Maybe he might get an epiphany and decide to rethink his decision. There’s a slim chance of that happening but one can still hope, right?I glanced in my rear view. He was a few yards away from me but he was still there alright, which was perfect.I parked the car at the foot of the forest and walked into the woods. Welcome to my world motherfucker.I could hear his footsteps beh

    RENZETTI“I’m calling this off,” I said.“No,” Carlos said. “I know he’s hiding something. I’m sure of it.”“You don’t know shit, Carlos. The only thing I know is that you’re wasting my time and resources on something that is not true because why else do you still have nothing to hang on Mateo after all this time?”“I think he’s just very good at covering his tracks but I have a feeling that he’s going to slip soon.”I scowled at him. “I don’t pay you to think or have feelings. You do what I tell you and nothing more. I’ve tolerated this bullshit for long enough and you’re going to put a stop to it,” I ordered.“You know I have never disrespected an order from you before but I really think it will be a mistake to let this go so easily,” Carlos argued.“I don’t make mistakes, Carlos,” I growled. “You don’t get to where I am without learning how to be perfect so I’m ordering you to stand down. I don’t want to have this conversation with you again.”“How about I just put one man on him?”

    MATEO“I didn’t think you would come all the way here.”Yeah, neither did I. This was the last place on earth I wanted to be but I have fucking appearances to keep up and if Renzetti was going to suspect anything, it won’t be because of my actions.So I turned to Carlos with a false smile and said, “Well, you’re certainly not important enough for me to make the trip so common sense should tell you that I’m here for someone else. Unless of course you already know and you just revel in acting foolish.”That triggered his anger and he growled, “How dare you!?”“Careful, Carlos. You may be the boss’ second in command but know that I still outrank you. Know your place,” I replied with a smug smile on my face, pleased with myself that I was able to rile him up.If I had to be here, I might as well shake some tables while I was at it. I knew Carlos didn’t like me, and the feeling was definitely mutual.In fact, if anyone was more likely to poison Renzetti’s mind about me, then my money was o

    CLARAI woke up the next morning, feeling groggy but well rested.The baby chose that moment to start kicking and I rubbed my hands over my belly, hoping to calm me down.It took me a few moments to remember that I wasn’t in the master bedroom but rather in the guest bedroom, Lily usually uses. Damn, yesterday must have taken a lot from me but I could only imagine that Mateo didn’t take too kindly to me not sleeping in the bedroom.Well, that was his business. I had no regrets and I was definitely not going to apologize to him.The door opened and Lily walked in holding a mug. Her eyes lit up when she saw me awake.“Oh, good. You’re awake. I was worried I was going to have to wake you up,” she said.I smiled at her. “Good morning, and thank you for letting me spend the night here. I didn’t want to be alone,” I said.She walked over to me and set the steaming mug of coffee by the nightstand.“You’re welcome. Besides, I liked the company. I think it was another bonding moment for us and

    MATEOI heard stomping in front of my office and I knew who it was before the door was thrown open.My mother came into my office wearing a frown I recognized all too well.I had expected her earlier but a look at the security cameras at the house told me that they were still in the middle of their party and they seemed to be having a blast.For the life of me, I had no idea why I needed to be there, it was a ladies’ affair so if you asked me, my mother’s anger was clearly misguided.“It’s late, Mom. Aren’t you tired after the day you’ve had?” I asked.“What the hell has come over you, Mateo?!”My mother hardly cursed except she was very pissed and that was what she was.“I’m working, Mom, and I don’t appreciate the interruption,” I said.“I don’t care about what it is you’re doing. I didn’t raise you to act the way you did this morning. It was unacceptable and you will apologize to Clara for that.”I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. I’ve had a long day and I didn’t intend to a

    CLARAWhen Mrs. Antonia put her mind to something, there was no stopping her.I had barely gotten home from my appointment yesterday when a courier came to collect the envelope from me as per her request.She also informed me that she had spoken to Mateo about using the family room for the gender reveal and he didn’t object so things were on track.The family room was unrecognizable by the time I walked in. The room had been decorated in a tasteful shade of pink and blue. I wondered how they were able to get all this work done without making any noise.I retreated and went into the kitchen to find, Mrs. Antonia sipping a cup of coffee.“Good morning,” I greeted.“Morning dear. You’re up earlier than I expected,” she replied.“I had an early night,” I explained.“Well, I the guests would be arriving in a few hours so have some breakfast and go get ready,” she said.I opened my mouth to respond but someone else beat me to it.“I didn’t expect you here this early,” Mateo said.“Good morn
