"Matteo, where are you?" Alessandro's annoyed voice came through the phone as Matteo answered the call.
"I'm in Paris, Alessandro. What's the matter?" Matteo asked, though he had no real desire to talk to anyone. His mind was still consumed with worry about Emily.
"Do you seriously not know what happened?" Alessandr's frustrated growl made Matteo wince before he continued. "I relied on you for Emily's safety, but you've disappointed me." The statement made Matteo frown, confusion mingling with his concern.
"You know that Aria loved Emily as a sister, and I promised her I'd always protect Emily. But today's incident... it made me feel like I've failed to keep my promise to my wife," Alessandro kept ranting, but all Matteo could think about was Emily. She was all that mattered now-nothing else.
"Where is Emily?" he asked urgently, his heart pounding as he awaited the anticipated answer.
"She just landed in Florence and will be staying with us," Alessandro replied, allowing Matteo to finally release a breath of relief. But almost instantly, that relief twisted into worry. She left Paris without a word to him... which meant...which could only mean one thing. She did not trust him enough to reach out, or- she believed that he was somehow responsible for all of this.
"Fuck!" Matteo cursed out loud, making Alessandro frown on the other side.
"What?!" Alessandro scowled, irritation clear in his voice.
"Ah...huh! Nothing," Matteo replied quickly. "I've already arranged for the news to be erased, with no trace left behind. And I know exactly who's responsible. I'll be handling that personally," he added, his face darkening with determination as he made a silent vow to make things right.
Without waiting for Alessandro's reply, Matteo ended the call and quickly got into his car, heading straight to confront Tomas in jail.
On the other end of the line, Alessandro groaned in frustration at his friend's reckless behavior, staring at the blank screen as the call ended. But as he slipped his phone back into his pocket, he heard Aria's excited voice, "She's here!"
So, Emily had arrived, and Alessandro couldn't help but smile at his wife's joy. Aria had been worried sick since the news broke and hadn't eaten anything until Emily confirmed she was coming to Florence. Alessandro loved his wife deeply, and he'd do anything to keep that radiant smile on her beautiful face, including taking care of the people she cherished.
Matteo parked his car and got out, his rage evident in every step as he strode straight into the jail. He approached the officer in charge, an old friend who'd known Matteo for years. After Matteo assured him that he wouldn't break any rules or cause trouble, the officer agreed to allow him access to Tomas.
As the prison door opened, the guards led another inmate out, transferring him to a different cell. Tomas, sensing something unusual, looked up curiously-only for his face to drain of color when he saw Matteo Vinci enter and the cell door lock behind him. In that instant, Tomas felt as if he were staring death in the face.

"Do you still not get that messing with Matteo Vinci will take you to your grave?" Matteo growled, his teeth clenched tight. Tomas was visibly shaking, fear etched on his face.
"Now start speaking. Why did you give that interview, and who told you to do it?" Matteo asked, his tone deceptively calm. But that calm was even more menacing than a roar of threat, leaving no doubt about the seriousness of the situation.
Tomas looked at Matteo without blinking for a second, weighing his options in that brief moment. But when he saw Matteo's face darken with irritation and impatience, he realized he had messed with the wrong man. He had thought he could take revenge on both Emily and Matteo with one statement, branding Emily as a promiscuous woman. However, seeing Matteo standing before him now threw a wrench in his plan. He never imagined that any man-especially someone like Matteo Vinci-could care so deeply for a woman like Emily that he would risk everything, including his own successful career as a lawyer, by breaking the law for her sake.
But the deadly resolution on Matteo's face left no doubt in Tomas's heart; he knew Matteo would kill him without thinking twice, not even for a heartbeat. So, he began to spill everything as if a button had been flipped on his tape recorder. As he revealed the truth, it only fueled Matteo's fury; the names Tomas mentioned were not what Matteo had expected. A deep sense of betrayal washed over him, and he realized there was no turning back from what he had decided to do to them.
