I entered a quiet home, my eyebrows furrowing together wondering why it's so silent.

I quietly closed the door behind me & headed into the living room finding it empty. I tripped over a pair of shoes & looked down chuckling to myself. Mateo's shoes.

I sighed & placed them aside. I pulled out my phone & checked Nellie's location, her phone being located in the home theater.

I head over to the theater finding the door shut. I slowly turned the handle & opened the door quietly. I entered the theater & my gaze fell on the two bodies laid out on the ground.

I smiled. I quietly headed over to them & looked around. Pillows & blankets laid out on the ground. Pizza boxes, candy wrappers & ice cream set aside on the small table.

I bit my lip trying to stop myself from laughing at the sight of Mateo & Nellie knocked out cold, loud snores heard in the quiet theater.

Mateo's foot rested on Nellie's forehead & I laughed. I slowly & carefully moved his foot off her face making sure not to wake either of them.

Neliyah laid in a strange position, one of her legs rested on Mateo's chest & the other rested on an empty pizza box. I pulled out my phone & took a quick photo of them before placing my phone back in my pocket.

I hovered over Nellie & wiped the drool off the corner of her lips, a small smile making its way onto my face.

"These two." I chuckled to myself making Mateo stir in his sleep. I silently backed away & headed out the theater.

I was surprised Mateo didn't wake up the moment I stepped into the theater, he's always on alert. I guess staying with Nellie for the day made him put his guard down.

I closed the door & smiled to myself.

NELLIE

I walked around our bedroom with a blanket wrapped around my body, bored out of my mind. Mateo left a few hours ago sadly & I am now bored.

Leo & I showered together after Mateo left. I wanted to have sex but we couldn't because he claimed Milo & another family member of his are coming over to discuss business.

He did warn me to stay upstairs in our bedroom until he or Milo came to get me. Did I ask why? No. I just nodded my head & minded my business.

I had gotten a quick glimpse of the man he brought into our home, & he was scary looking.

The aura around him created goosebumps on my skin. The massive scar on his face is what scared me the most. A straight line was carved onto his face, right above his eye. The scar began from his hairline & it ended at his eyelid.

I know that shit was painful.

The man saw me & I felt my throat go dry. Although he was far, I saw the smirk form on his lips when our eyes locked. His grey eyes were soulless.
