Chapter 5

Mateo's Pov

I smirked, retracting my hands into my pocket as I made my way out of the police station. I turned to look at the whole station again. And reminded myself about my success today.

I thought it would be hard to crack, but it came off easily. I was so wowed. I turned back heading towards my car. Now, I was certain Serena would not chase my case anymore, in return I took her kids into custody.

As soon as I got into the Lamborghini, I drove straight to her home, the familiar home that she lives in to send that useless threat to me every morning. Like I was a toy…

As soon as I got to her villa, I got out of my car, raising my head to spare the villa a glance. At last, I got to step foot in this house.

“ Stupid attorney,” I mumbled to myself, staring at the white building in front of me.

Almost immediately, I slammed the car door. As I make my way towards the brown oak door. It was one of a kind, wow. This lady is richer than I thought.

She is living life. I raised my hand reaching out for the door bell. And immediately, I clicked on it. It dinged twice.

Hoping for an answer, I waited for a few seconds. But, the door never swung open like I had anticipated.

I pressed my fingers on the door bell again, and this time the door swung open, revealing that familiar face.

My brows furrowed, I have seen this guy somewhere. But where?

“Hello there!” I waved my hand at him, my voice low. I tried really hard to sound normal, but no, my voice still kept that normal cold aura.

“Who are you?” He asked.

“ I am Mrs. Serena's boyfriend.” I said, my hands retracting back into my pocket.

I just sounded awkward, but that was the only thing that came to my mind. Since he was inside, he might be a close relative.

I hadn't seen him the other time I had come, making it really hard for me to know if he was working for the cops or not..

I had arrived just when the cops drove Serena out of this place. And that was when she made eye contact with me, mouthing some words that I pretty much understand as a threat.

“ How can you be her boyfriend?” He asked, his voice trembling. “ Serena has no boyfriend.” He said.

I noticed his hands as he moved them behind the door as if waving at something. But I couldn't understand what he was doing.

“ I am here to see the kids,” I said, my voice low. “ And take them away.” I muttered.

I hadn't prepared myself for this whole bullshit, and now I sound just like a kid who knows nothing. Damn!

“ The kids are okay and..” he paused, “ they probably don't need anyone to cater for them.” He swallowed.

He wasn't stuttering, but I felt his fear, I felt it whole. He was afraid. He had something he was hiding. Or, maybe I was just over thinking things and he doesn't have anything and was just protecting the kids.

“ Just…”I paused, trying really hard to control my tongue as my brain became filled with many thoughts.

‘Should I just kill him and take the children away?’ I thought to myself, rolling my eyes inwardly.

I kept quiet for some second, letting the silence stretch. Then I spoke up.

“ Get out of my way,” I said, not waiting for him to move as I quickly shoved him out, forcing myself through the door.

And as soon as I entered the villa, my jaw dropped at the scene in front of me. “ What the heck?!” I yelled,

An old lady stood right beside a child, she was strangling her. While a young lady held a gun, and there was a boy right in front of her. She had pinned him down, holding him at gun point.

“ Who are you?” The lady at the side said.

And they all froze, while the children managed to escape their clutches. They ran towards the stairs.

“ Are you crazy?!” I yelled, taking a step forward.

As I quickly chucked my hand into my back pocket. Quickly retrieving my gun. But, I just kept it there, waiting for them to react.

“ Shoot him,Clara!” the old woman said.

Turning towards the lady holding a gun.

And immediately, I sprang into action, pulling out my gun as I aimed at her as well.
