Matteo comes out of the living room, his face pale and his eyes narrowed. Jasmine follows behind him, nibbling on her lip.

'I'm going to kill her,' he snarls. 'I'm going to kill Vittoria.'

'Woah, woah!' Alessandro exclaims. 'What happened?'

'Calm down Matteo.' Adriano says, holding onto his arm. 'Don't do anything stupid.'

'Xuan, Alora and Terzo go take Eliza to a secure base.' He commands. 'Make sure Vittoria doesn't find her.'

'There's one is San Jose.' Alora explains. 'We'll take her there immediately.'

They disappear into the living room and we sit Matteo down on the couch.

Amira passes him a glass of water.

'Breathe,' Lorenzo says. 'What exactly happened.'

Matteo pulls up the sleeve of his hoodie and shows the inside of his wrist. There's a faded light brown mark.

'This isn't a birthmark, it's a burn,' he explains. 'A burn that I got when I was a baby.'

'Vittoria told us you were born with it,' Alessandro says.

'When are we going to realise that whatever Vittoria says is just pure bullshit?' Amira scoffs.

'She has a point, up until now everything she's ever told you could be a lie.' I say.

Matteo picks at the lint of the couch and Jasmine rubs his knee soothingly.

'I'm taking Rory out,' Mimi says coming in. 'All these new faces are making her anxious.'

'Ok amore,' Alessandro replies and I smile. 'Call me for anything.'

She gives him a smile and goes to get her daughter and leave.

'Matteo,' Zoya says softly. 'What exactly happened?'

The day I was born, eighteen years ago,' he starts. 'There was a fire at the hospital and my mum was evacuated.'

'She was told that her baby was lost in the fire so she went to her sister Vittoria for comfort.' He says.

'Vittoria is your aunt?' Zoya asks.

'Vittoria sent her to Dominico who tried to manipulate her.' He continues. 'It didn't work at first, not until Eliza found out that Vittoria started the fire.'

'Why did she do that?' Alessandro asks.

'Her way of repaying Dominico.' He says. 'There was an agent who double crossed them there.'

I look around at Adriano who has a hardened expression plastered across his face.

'Vittoria started the fire and took me, knowing I was Eliza's son.' He snarls. 'When Eliza found out she went insane, and Dominico used that to his advantage.'

'Vittoria's collecting kids like Pokémon.' Lorenzo mutters.

Alessandro laughs but quickly shuts himself up, realising the seriousness of the situation.

'Too soon?' Lorenzo shrugs.

'Shut up.' Amira mutters, glaring at him.

Lorenzo puts his hands up in a mock surrender.

'Continue Matteo.' I say.

'Dominico said that to get me back she has to kill one of you.' Matteo looks between Adriano and I.

'Why?' Zoya asks. 'Why them?'

'He never said.'

I look at Adriano who meets my gaze from the other side of the room.

'Dominico trained me to kill you.' I mutter.

'And Vittoria wanted me to make you disappear.' Adriano says.

'One of us has to die for the other to come to power.' I say.

'What?' Zoya asks.

'That's what they were planning.' I explain. 'One of us needs to die.'

Fouzia walks into the room and everyone immediately goes silent.

'Where are you going?' Adriano asks.

'I'm not wanted here, so I'm leaving.' She sighs.

I see Amira and Lorenzo look at each-other and try not to laugh.

'You can go,' Adriano says.

Fouzia leaves and we hear the door slam behind her.

'Matteo you need to act normal at work.' Jasmine says. 'We can't risk her knowing you know.'

'I'll just avoid her, she doesn't pay attention to me anyways.' He says. 'It should be easy.'

Adriano looks down at his watch.

'Vittoria's getting suspicious about us.' He says. 'We need to be at base and live there as normal.'

'All of us?' Jasmine asks.

'Jasmine and Lorenzo can stay here with Alessandro and Mimi.' Adriano says. 'The rest of us need to leave now.'

We say our goodbyes and Adriano hurries everyone into the cars.

**************** 'How can you be so picky with a movie?' I ask.

'Sorry but I have superior taste.' Lorenzo mutters.

I fight the urge to snatch the remote off him, when he finally picks a movie.

'Princess and the frog?' I ask, raising an eyebrow.

'Superior.' He smiles.

What is it with the Giovanni's and Disney movies?

First Mulan, then Tinkerbell and now this.

'He's right, it's a really good movie,' Jasmine shrugs.

'I know I am.' Lorenzo smiles smugly.

Alessandro walks in and stops in his tracks.

'A cartoon?' He asks, raising an eyebrow.

'Shut up It's Disney.' Lorenzo snaps.

'Ok...?' Alessandro replies. 'If any of you need anything help yourselves, Mimi and I are going to bed.'

'Thanks,' I say.

'Shut up,' Lorenzo shushes us and Alessandro leaves.

I turn to Jasmine and see her lips look swollen and very red.

'Jasmine what happened to your lips?' I ask.

She flushes pink and turns to me.

'They look fine.' She replies shrugging.

I give her a knowing smirk.

'If one of you speak I will kill you.' He snaps.

'Shut up Lorenzo, you're ruining the movie.' I mutter.

That comment gets me a pillow chucked at my face. I laugh and use the pillow to make myself comfortable.

Jasmine positions herself at an angle where I can't see her phone but I can see the smile playing it's way onto her lips.

I lean over and snatch it out of her hands.

'Hey, not funny!' She yells.

I stand up and look at the screen.

'AWWWW.' I exclaim. 'You love Matteo!'

'I do not!' She yells, going red.

'GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY!' Lorenzo booms as the remote bounces off my head.

'AWWW HE LOVES YOU TOO!' I exclaim, running over to an opposite couch.

'We're just friends,' Jasmine says, throwing a pillow at me.

'Yeah right,' I laugh.

She snatches her phone off me and smirks.

'And you're in love with Mr Adriano Giovanni.' She says, crossing her arms.

Lorenzo pauses the movie and looks at us.

'This is interesting,' he laughs.

'No I don't,' I reply. 'We're just acquaintances.'

'Yeah, so we're just gonna pretend that what happened at the pool didn't happen at all.' Lorenzo says, raising an eyebrow.

'Don't you have a movie you need to be watching?' I ask.

'Go on Dilara, tell us.' Jasmine laughs.

'We're not having this conversation.' I mutter, snatching the remote off Lorenzo and putting the movie back on.

*AUTHORS NOTE* I might make more moments like these with Jasmine, Lorenzo and Dilara. Have a nice day!
