“How could they do this to me?” Emily gasped, covering her mouth with trembling hands. Her eyes brimmed with the pain of betrayal, the weight of it sinking deep into her chest.
Matteo’s jaw clenched, his expression hardening as he swiftly moved to her side, offering a reassuring touch on her shoulder.
“What do you want to do to them?” he asked, his voice low and edged with a dangerous intensity. His eyes gleamed with a promise of vengeance, but he wanted to hear Emily’s desire first.
` “I want to confront them,” she said, her voice steady despite the storm of emotions swirling inside her.
Matteo nodded in silent agreement before turning to his bodyguard.
“Hand this bastard over to the police,” he ordered coldly, nodding toward the hotel staff involved in the betrayal.
“No, sir, please! Forgive me. I shouldn’t have taken the money! I regret it deeply—just this once, please forgive me,” the waiter begged, tears streaming down his face as he collapsed to his knees.
Matteo’s eyes were dark with fury as he stepped closer.
“What you did is unforgivable. You drugged a woman and put her life at risk for money. If it were up to me, you’d face the death penalty.” His voice dropped to a menacing growl. “But rest assured, you won’t see the outside of a prison cell for the rest of your life.” This was personal, and he would never let it go. Not
ever.
When the waiter realized Matteo wasn’t going to be swayed by his pleas, he turned desperately to Emily.
“Pitié, madame!” he cried, his voice trembling with fear. For a brief moment,
Emily’s heart softened, but when she looked at Matteo, he shook his head, as if reading her thoughts and silently urging her not to give in.
Emily’s face became expressionless as she turned away and left the surveillance room without a word. Matteo shot the waiter one final cold glare before following Emily behind.
The waiter’s cries for mercy echoed behind them, but they fell on deaf ears. Matteo and Emily strode directly to the parking lot, where Matteo’s car was waiting to take them to her uncle’s house.
As they approached, the driver moved to open the door, but Matteo waved him off, stepping forward himself. He opened the door for Emily, his hand resting gently on the frame.
“After you,” he said, his deep voice steady, though his eyes betrayed a hint of tension.
Emily glanced at Matteo and seemed to be lost in her thoughts but Matteo gave her a reassuring nod. Without saying a word, she slid into the car, and Matteo followed right behind, closing the door with a solid click.
The silence between them lingered as the car pulled away. Emily stared out the window, her thoughts distant. Matteo sat close beside her, his arm resting casually on the seat, though his sharp gaze was already working through the next steps.
