Malaina's POV

Getting to the house, Adriano has us all take a seat in the living room. We watched him pace around the living room to calm down before anything was said.

"Does anybody want to explain to me why you all were there?" Adriano suddenly asks glaring at us.

"It was my fault. I just wanted to know you were safe. After Bella and Sofía told me what you were doing I-" I begin to say trying to take the fall for all of this. I mean it was kind of my fault we're in this mess.

Snapping his head towards Bella, he gives her the most hateful look and begins to shout. "You told her?! Why would you do that? I didn't tell her for a fucking reason."

"She deserved to know, Adriano." Bella says calmly despite Adriano's angry eyes and menacing look.

"I wanted her safe. Her safety is my top priority." He hisses out.

"She still would've been safe if you told her." Bella tried to reason but Adriano wasn't hearing it. He was too pissed to listen to anyone.

"No she wouldn't. She would've tried to come along! Hence the situation we're in now. What if something happened to her? What would you have fucking done? What if someone had taken her and killed her to get at me? If Roman knows about her what makes you fucking think no one else doesn't?"

"You're right, I'm sorry." Bella says looking away with tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Adriano please. It was my fault. I wanted to go." I plead. I hated that he made Bella feel that way. She didn't deserve it.

"No. They need to realize where they fucked up. If something were to happen to you that would be their heads, blood or not." He spats out glaring hard at me.

"Adriano you don't mean that." I whisper.

"Yes the fuck I do!" He snaps.

With that Adriano storms out the living room and up the stairs.

"But-" I say trying to follow Adriano but I'm stopped by Bella.

"Malaina leave it, it's fine. He's just angry. Let him cool off."

"No it-"

"Stop, Malaina! Please."

"No! It's not okay! He shouldn't talk to you like that whether he's mad or not."

And that shut her up.

"I just want to know one thing, how did you find us? And where did you learn to fight like that?" Luca asks deciding to speak up.

"I thought you only wanted to know one thing." I joke.

"Malaina." Luca says sternly.

"Right, sorry sorry. My dad was in the military. He taught me military combat for 12 years and I took gymnastics for 19. I stopped about 4 months ago when I started college." I tell them leaning back on the couch awkwardly. "Oh, and Cèsar found you."

"Cèsar?" Enzo asks glancing at Cèsar.

Looking over at Cèsar, I watched as he put his hand under his head, swinging it back and forth with a panicked look.

Looking at him in confusion, I kept going. "Yea, he had a tracking device on Matteo."

"What?!" Matteo shouts.

"Shit, Malaina! When I do this," He says stopping to do the motion again. "it means stop fucking talking."

"Sorry! I felt pressured." I say defensively.
