~Matteo's POV~

When my men and I arrived back at my place I get out of the car and went round the other side. I open her side of the door and see her sprawled out on the backseat, her face pale and her lips blue showing how cold she is. I reach inside and gently take her out of the car and carry her tiny, fragile body bridal style and start walking inside my house ignoring the confused looks all my men are giving me.

I told some of my men to meet me in my office in 10 minutes so I could talk to them so I make my way up the stairs and walk down one of my long hallways and open the door of one of my guest rooms. I lay her down onto the bed and pull the covers over her making sure her whole body is covered. I noticed some bruises on her face and wondered if my men did that. I know I'm a ruthless killer but I never hurt women or children and won't allow it if one of my men hurt her either. I remind myself that I'm only keeping her here because she knows too much and also because I don't know what to do with her at the moment. I can't afford any weaknesses, not with this job. Any of my enemies can take advantage of me if I have a weakness, and that's why I have always just kept to myself and since I've been trained to not show any emotion this is the norm for me. And I will not change. Simple as that.

I look at her up and down and roll my eyes rubbing my temples already feeling another headache forming. I walk out of the room closing the door behind me not even looking back at her and start going towards my office. I open the big black door and shut it walking over to my desk and sat down on my chair tapping my fingers on my desk and my fist on my chin bored waiting for my men.

After a couple of minutes I look at my watch and wondered what's taking them so long. Before I could angrily stand up from my chair I hear a knock on my door. "Come in" I yelled even more annoyed. Both of my men came in and shut the door behind them before standing straight with their hands behind their back and looking ahead not speaking. "What the fuck took you so long?" I said lowly. I hate it when people waste my time and take forever, I'm a very impatient man.

"Sorry Boss we were with the other men just double checking the shipments were going smoothly and going to the right place." One of them says, keeping a neutral face. I huff annoyed and nod my head at them leaning back and putting one of my ankles crossed on top of my thigh. "I want you to find all the information about the girl, and I expect it to be in front of me in one hour, if not a bullet is going through your leg. Got it?" I say grabbing one of my guns and a cloth to clean it. They both nod nervously, bowing their heads and quickly walk out of my office. I sigh chucking my gun on my desk and put one of my arms over my eyes hoping they find something decent about her.

-1 hour later-

I'm typing on my computer trying to sort out some documents when I hear a knock on my door. "Enter" I shout not even looking up from my screen.

I glance sideways and stop typing and watch the same two men enter my office, one of them holding a file. "Boss we have got information." One of them walk over and place the file down onto my desk. I nod at them and they nod back understanding that I wanted them to leave. I wait for them to close my door before I sigh and pick up the thin file that reads "Aria Sky" on the front.

"Let's see who this girl is then" I whisper to myself.

I open the file, my eyes scanning through the small amount of information that is on the bit of paper. Name: Aria Sky. Hm quite a beautiful name I think to myself before shaking my head getting rid of those thoughts and moving my eyes to the next information "Gender: Female, Age: 20 years old, Born on the 4th September 2000. Doesn't have many family members *some information on family members cannot be found*. Mother is deceased. Father is unknown but apparently hasn't got one. Only child". What the fuck does it mean that father is unknown? If he was dead it would say 'dead'. My brows furrow in confusion also noticing her mother is dead. What has happened to this girls family? Oh well not my business I guess. I carry on reading "has a job at 'The Un Beau Cafe' owned by a woman called Helen Shive, lives at 83 Hanbury lane" "Interesting, so she lives in quite a run down area, I wonder how a girl like her managed to survive there to be honest" I mutter to myself, rubbing my chin. My eyes go lower down the page and notice "In a relationship with 21 year old Aaron Brown, Born on the 28th March 1999. Currently has no job and has been unemployed for 4 years. Mother and father live in England but have stayed in contact with him everyday. Has also been in jail numerous times for poor behaviour due to being drunk, speeding whilst driving, selling drugs and caught fighting many times."

What the actual fuck. I can't assume anything but this girl looks so, innocent? So I don't get what she's doing with a man like him. Oh well not my business I guess. I wonder how her dear boyfriend is feeling right now. Has he even noticed she's missing? I scoff chucking the file back on my desk and lean back on my chair staring at it. Well it's not like I can let her go anytime soon, she's seen too much so I need to figure out what to do with her.

Is that really all the information we have on her? I groan annoyed, why are my men so useless sometimes. I grab my phone out of my pocket and phone one of my men's number, him picking up instantly. "Boss" he replies clearing his throat.

"Is this all the information we have on Aria?" I hiss through the phone, pinching the bridge of my nose and closing my eyes.

"I- uh well boss that's all that's all the information that is important," he says stuttering. I sigh and roll my eyes. "So there's nothing to worry about, with her then, no?"

He clears his throat and I hear typing before he replies "No boss, she is the most innocent person you have made me do a background check on to be honest. I was surprised looking through her information, she really is just a normal girl. A change from everyone else you've made me look for" I hear him chuckle quietly making me hum and hang up the phone.

What do I do with you now Aria? I think to myself. I don't want her to get involved with any of my business so training her is out of the question. Maybe a maid I guess, for now. It's better than her doing nothing around this house anyways, since she may be here a little while.

I stand up from my desk undoing two of my top buttons of my shirt and start walking out of my office to see if she's awake.
