Chapter 18

Matteo phone vibrated.

"Excuse me, it's work."

"Alright." Sarah said as Matteo walked out of the warehouse picking the call.

Sarah looked at where he left and brought out a small bottle of gin, she raised Scar chin and helped him so he could take a sip.

Scar sipped it gradually and nodded his head when he was satisfied.

Sarah cleaned the little gin on his mouth.

"You should corperate with them if you don't want to die, your wife won't be happy to see you dead," Sarah warned. She had recognized the man the instant she saw him, even thou he was battered, she knew his face.

He frequented her hospital with his pregnant wife recently.

Scar stared at her trying to understand how she knew his wife was pregnant and it clicked, she was there doctor. He felt like crying right now, his wife didn't know about his illegal works.

"I won't tell her, so stop staring at me like that, you can tell her when you get out of here," Sarah reassured him. "You should take another one, the shoulder will hurt like hell."

She assisted him again, as he took another gulp. She wiped his mouth again and hid the gin back in her pocket.

 Her phone vibrated in her pocket, she brought it out and hissed at the sight of the caller's name. 

If she didn't pick she was sure to get 30 missed call.

 She could just switch her phone but she decided to pick the call.

She picked the call placing it on the table close by and on loud speaker.

She checked through her first aid box and brought out the equipments she needed.

"What do you want Alberto?" She asked.

"I was just coming from your hospital, you told me you did be there."

"Something important came up, an emergency."

"Alright, can we have dinner later in the day, I will be off from work by then."

"No, my schedule is quite busy today,"  Sarah said checking Scar's shoulder, she didn't have time for this nonsense. She had  told Alberto she was in the hospital but she knew she was leaving with Stephan.

She didn't want to see him or talk to him, the sight of him irritated her and only brought back memories of lies and regrets that she wanted to forget.

She had given her heart to that bastard and what did he do cheat on her, not once, not twice but three times. 

She had been patient with him, she thought he hadn't figured himself out or know what he wanted, but by the third time she realized that he was just a useless piece of shit, who wanted to eat his cake and have it.

"You can't keep avoiding me Sarah, you know I love you and I do want to see you."

"I am busy right now."

"Look, I know I messed up, but I know what I want right now."

"And what's that?"  Sarah asked even thou she knew the answer.

"You?"

"You don't say."

"Please let's meet up, where are you? I can come pick you up."

"I said am busy."

"You say that all the time, but we both know that is not true... Is this about Matteo, your new boyfriend."

"Why are you concerned about that?"

"Is he really your boyfriend? Or you just said that to chase me away, you know I do not care about that."

"Well you should, because he won't be pleased to hear that you are harassing me."

"You agreed to see me today."

"Did I? Look stop calling me okay, I love my boyfriend and I respect him well enough to not want to ruin what we have."

"Sarah please just...."

Sarah took the phone from the table and disconnected it, placing it in her pocket.

"You told Alberto I am your boyfriend?" Matteo smiled, he had been done with his call and came in but Sarah hadn't noticed.

He didn't want to interrupt but when he heard his name he became interested in what they were talking about.

No wonder, Alberto was acting weird to him of late. So Sarah had been using his name in their conversation. She could have used anybody's name, but she choose to use his name instead.

Interesting.

"What?" Sarah was startled by his presence , she had thought he was still outside. This was awkward.

"So you love me?" Matteo asked walking up to her.

"Yes as a...."

Before she could finish the sentence, she found Matteo's lips on hers. His lips felt cold on hers and then it became warm when she felt his tongue inside her mouth. She wondered how his tongue was in her mouth, then she realized he had taken advantage of her open mouth when she was talking.

She wanted to withdraw, but yet again she wanted to kiss him, she felt his hands on her face drawing her in as his tongue circled her tongue. He slowly sucked her bottom lips shocking Sarah as she felt goosebumps on her body, she dropped the scissor on her hand instantly.

Scar struggled on his seat, stopping them from kissing as they both stared at him wondering why he was shaking. Matteo busted out into laughter. 

When Sarah had dropped the knife, it had mistakenly poked the wound on his leg.

"Stop laughing," Sarah felt embarrassed by the whole situation, she removed the scissors from his leg.

"I have work to do, round up here so we can finish where we stopped," Matteo kissed her cheek. "Don't miss me too much," he added and left her alone.

***********

Stephan relaxed on his seat as he listened closely to Alberto explanation on the interrogation. Alberto had his suspicious about Olivia but he didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket.

"I mean she seemed pretty nervous until she left, she said you are her ex."

"She did," Stephan was angry to hear that. When had he dated her, that he was now tagged an ex.

"But they didn't buy it, How is Dawn?"

"She will be fine, did you inform them about her whereabouts?"

"Not yet, but during the next interrogation we will."

"Hmmm."

"What of Matteo?" Alberto wasn't one to be concerned about his whereabouts, but after what Sarah had told him. He wanted to confront Matteo, if there was anything he knew about this two brothers, it was that they were the number one Playboy's in town.

In the case of Dawn, it would seem that Stephan was in love with Dawn, but Alberto knew it was more about his ego. 

"He is on his way," Stephan replied. "Why did you ask of him?"

"Nothing, I just thought he would be a part of this," Alberto lied. "I will be on my way then." He stood up and nodded at Stephan as he left the office through the private elevator.

On his way to his car, he met Matteo on the way.

"Matteo," he called out. Was Sarah really dating this Playboy, was she so heart broken she didn't know what she was doing anymore.

"You are early," Matteo smiled, after what happened at the warehouse he wasn't surprised that Alberto was trying to have a conversation with him. 

"Yes, I have to go and see my girlfriend Sarah later on, so I didn't want to keep her waiting. You know how women can be," Alberto replied trying to see if he would get a reaction from Matteo, but Matteo face was blank.

"Oh, that's interesting." Matteo finally spoke.

"Why is it interesting?" Alberto pressed on.

"One of the girls am banging name is Sarah, a very beautiful girl. I think all Sarah's are beautiful." Matteo knew what he was up to and he was ready as well, getting on people nerves and creating chaos was his specialty. 

Alberto recently started giving them informations on the police report, so he didn't have an idea that his lovely ex was a family friend of Matteo and Stephan.

"What?" Alberto couldn't believe this douchebag.

"How is the case? Any update?"

"The Sarah you are talking about, can I see her picture." 

"Picture, do I look like a photographer?" 

"The case is going well," Alberto didn't want to press further, it seemed Sarah was lying after all or maybe she wasn't but things weren't as serious as she made it seem."

"Alright, see you around," Matteo left him to his thought and took the private elevator up. 

"What's going on with you and Sarah?" Was the first thing Matteo heard as he came out of the elevator, he stared at Stephan with a grin.

"Nothing new."

Stephan was watching Alberto and Matteo on his surveillance, he knew Matteo had a thing for Sarah but he didn't want to push him into talking about it.

"She told Alberto that I am her boyfriend," Matteo informed him taking a seat opposite him.

"She what?" Stephan couldn't believe that Sarah would ever say something like that, did she also fancy Matteo. 

"Same look I had," Matteo smiled. "Don't worry I will be gentle on her."

"Do you think I care about your bedroom business?"

"So, I can break her heart?"

"Have I shot you before?"

Matteo smiled, he knew Stephan was very  protective of Sarah, Matteo also was protective of her. He wasn't going to hurt her, whatever was happening between them was totally mutual. 

"You were suppose to watch over her."

"I will go and pick her afterwards, I didn't want to look jobless." Matteo actually didn't want to have sex with Sarah in the warehouse, the kiss they shared had given him a hard on. It took a lot of controlling for him to get the fuck out of there.

He knew what he was capable off but he also knew Sarah was a stubborn woman, she would have refused to have such an intimate moment in such a dirty environment, as she would say.

"Jobless or sex starved."

"Look who is talking," Matteo leaned in his chair, he knew Stephan hadn't had sex in a long while. He wondered why, it was very unusual of him.

"At least some of us have self control."

"Self control indeed, does this include Dawn? Just admit it that you are in love with...."

"Am what?" Stephan interrupted. "That useless question should be directed to you, because you are the one getting a hard on from a kiss."

"You... You sicko." Matteo stood up and turned Stephan's laptop to him and Stephan didn't stop him but only chuckled, as Matteo saw image of Sarah removing the bullet from Scar, she even sneaked a bottle of gin into her pocket. So Stephan had placed a camera in there without telling him.

"I only wanted to keep an eye on the idiot, didn't know I was going to get an appetizer along with it," Stephan chuckled as Matteo sat down back."So, about Alberto what are the plans?"

"You can't keep doing that," Matteo knew Stephan was lying, he was keeping an eye on both of him and Sarah instead.

"Well, if you stop being a pain in my ass, I wouldn't need to monitor what you are doing with Sarah."

"Watch me put cameras in Dawn's room."

"You wouldn't dare," Stephan hadn't gone to see Dawn yet but he wanted to spend that time alone with her, not with Matteo watching.

"As regards Alberto, evidence is everything right now, we just need something to keep him going till we can gather enough on him." 

They could have just killed him but Matteo and Stephan didn't want that, they wanted to find out every single person that were involved, and Alberto was going to lead them straight to those people.

"He suspects Olivia," Stephan had restraint himself during their conversation from not shooting him in his office, how could he agree to something as stupid as that. 

"He is trying to get her to take the fall, I think we should let him."

"Keep an eye on Olivia, she might be up to no good. Am sure Alberto will inform her soon that Dawn is alive."

"You told him? You are going to put her in danger and you want me to babysit." Matteo wasn't in the mood to watch Olivia's movement tonight, he had plans to take Sarah out tonight. He couldn't miss this opportunity."I have a date."

"I expect a full report on her movement and conversations from tonight till tomorrow morning." Stephan ordered not paying attention to Matteo.
