Chapter 22
"What?" Alberto couldn't believe this douchebag.
"How is the case? Any update?"
"The Sarah you are talking about, can I see her picture."
"Picture, do I look like a photographer?"
"The case is going well," Alberto didn't want to press further, it seemed Sarah was lying after all or maybe she wasn't but things weren't as serious as she made it seem." "Alright, see you around," Matteo left him to his thought and took the private elevator up.
"What's going on with you and Sarah?" Was the first thing Matteo heard as he came out of the elevator, he stared at Stephan with a grin.
"Nothing new."
Stephan was watching Alberto and Matteo on his surveillance, he knew Matteo had a thing for Sarah but he didn't want to push him into talking about it.
"She told Alberto that I am her boyfriend," Matteo informed him taking a seat opposite him.
"She what?" Stephan couldn't believe that Sarah would ever say something like that, did she also fancy Matteo.
"Same look I had," Matteo smiled. "Don't worry I will be gentle on her."
"Do you think I care about your bedroom business?"
"So, I can break her heart?"
"Have I shot you before?"
Matteo smiled, he knew Stephan was very protective of Sarah, Matteo also was protective of her. He wasn't going to hurt her, whatever was happening between them was totally mutual. "You were suppose to watch over her."
"I will go and pick her afterwards, I didn't want to look jobless." Matteo actually didn't want to have sex with Sarah in the warehouse, the kiss they shared had given him a hard on. It took a lot of controlling for him to get the fuck out of there. He knew what he was capable off but he also knew Sarah was a stubborn woman, she would have refused to have such an intimate moment in such a dirty environment, as she would say.
"Jobless or sex starved."
"Look who is talking," Matteo leaned in his chair, he knew Stephan hadn't had sex in a long while. He wondered why, it was very unusual of him. "At least some of us have self control."
"Self control indeed, does this include Dawn? Just admit it that you are in love with...."
"Am what?" Stephan interrupted. "That useless question should be directed to you, because you are the one getting a hard on from a kiss."
"You... You sicko." Matteo stood up and turned Stephan's laptop to him and Stephan didn't stop him but only chuckled, as Matteo saw image of Sarah removing the bullet from Scar, she even sneaked a bottle of gin into her pocket. So Stephan had placed a camera in there without telling him.
"I only wanted to keep an eye on the idiot, didn't know I was going to get an appetizer along with it," Stephan chuckled as Matteo sat down back."So, about Alberto what are the plans?"
"You can't keep doing that," Matteo knew Stephan was lying, he was keeping an eye on both of him and Sarah instead.
"Well, if you stop being a pain in my ass, I wouldn't need to monitor what you are doing with Sarah."
"Watch me put cameras in Dawn's room."
"You wouldn't dare," Stephan hadn't gone to see Dawn yet but he wanted to spend that time alone with her, not with Matteo watching.
"As regards Alberto, evidence is everything right now, we just need something to keep him going till we can gather enough on him."
They could have just killed him but Matteo and Stephan didn't want that, they wanted to find out every single person that were involved, and Alberto was going to lead them straight to those people.
"He suspects Olivia," Stephan had restraint himself during their conversation from not shooting him in his office, how could he agree to something as stupid as that.

"He is trying to get her to take the fall, I think we should let him."
"Keep an eye on Olivia, she might be up to no good. Am sure Alberto will inform her soon that Dawn is alive."
"You told him? You are going to put her in danger and you want me to babysit." Matteo wasn't in the mood to watch Olivia's movement tonight, he had plans to take Sarah out tonight. He couldn't miss this opportunity."I have a date." "I expect a full report on her movement and conversations from tonight till tomorrow morning." Stephan ordered not paying attention to Matteo.
Alberto drove off to Sarah's apartment after he closed from work, he wasn't planning on throwing what he had with Sarah away. He shouldn't have cheated on her but he couldn't help himself, he had a thing for pretty women and being a police officer, women was an easy catch for him.
Some were criminals who would even go as far as to bribe him with sex, so he could erase their case, he never rejected their advances, and it was a win-win for him.
He didn't call her to inform her he was on his way, because he knew if he did, she would not open up to him.
He had his way around her apartment, he parked the car far away and strolled down to her apartment. It was a rented apartment, so it was easy for him to have access to it. He only hoped she would open the door for him.
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
Sarah had just come back from the warehouse alongside Matteo, she was pretty stressed out and stained with blood. She didn't want Matteo in her house this late, but he insisted, saying Stephan wanted to make sure she was safe.
She offered him a bottle of his favorite wine, and went to freshen up, as she was stepping in from the bathroom in her bathrobe and cleaning her hair, she heard a knock from the door. She wasn't expecting any visitor tonight and it was pretty late.
She stared at Matteo on the couch, he seemed busy on his phone talking to someone, and he smiled at her when their eyes met but she only rolled her eyes at him.
She walked up to the door and checked the peephole.

The knock got louder.
"Who is there?" Matteo asked bringing out his gun, he was done talking with his bodyguard over the phone to keep an eye on Olivia and report back to him. He had noticed Sarah had a worried look. "It's nobody."
"Well nobody is going to wake your neighbors if you don't answer the door." Matteo couldn't believe Alberto actually came to her house.
"Behave yourself," Sarah warned. She had recently moved into this apartment because it was closer to her hospital and far away from her family and their drama, she had plans to move into a more secured apartment soon.
Stephan had offered she come stay with them but she insisted on staying here, a lot of people didn't know she was the daughter of a very wealthy man, they didn't even know she was the owner of the hospital she worked at. She loved it that way, she was free to do as she pleased without anyone keeping a close eye on her.
Now that Alberto was here, she was reconsidering Stephan offer, didn't Alberto understand the word 'NO'.
"Why are you here this late?" Sarah asked standing by the door, in a way that Alberto couldn't see that Matteo was inside. Matteo wasn't even bothered by his presence, he pulled his jacket, placed it on the side of the couch and loosen two buttons from the top of his shirt. The wine had made his body a little bit heated up.
"I wanted to see you, so we could talk. Please... just hear me out for once... please."
"Alright, let's say I hear you, then what? What will happen?" Sarah always thought she was stubborn but it seemed she had met her match, no matter what Alberto had to say she wasn't interested in him anymore. She didn't even find him to be attractive anymore, when she saw him, she only felt disgusted. How did she date this idiot?
She came outside and closed the door behind her, Alberto wasn't pleased with that. He had wished she would at least let him come inside, was she expecting them to have this conversation outside?
"We should go inside and talk."
"I am comfortable here, talk then." She hadn't really given him the opportunity to express himself, she had just broken up with him over the phone and that was it. Maybe if they had this conversation he would come to understand that she didn't want him anymore.
"Sarah, I know I messed up but I am willing to change for you."
"What about yourself?"
"Myself?" Alberto didn't understand what she was driving at.
