Mattheo Riddle Movies Novels & Stories

I smiled through clenched teeth, looking up to find them peering into my eyes. “I think we should discuss the real issue,” my mother said. The black rim around her eyes sent a sympathetic pang through me and I stomped on it furiously. They got themselves into this mess and somehow I was responsible for solving it. Typical. My father withdrew a tiny necklace from his pocket and handed it to me. I took it in my trembling palms and stared at the expensive looking jewelry. It was a golden filigree and sparkling grey diamond encrusted it. Inside it, I saw something that gave me a pause. It was a red dot simply looked like a design at first glance. Until I saw it getting bigger.

"Before you say anything, Matteo came to me last night and he told me the ritual isn't what Ezra says it is, he says it's a trap." Lucas's face darkened. "I know."

A feeling of having no control, not thinking what’s right or wrong. The room was dark as I entered. A ray of light peeking in the room. As I approached a bit further, I saw a chair, with a man sitting on it. His hands were tied. Two more silhouettes were standing beside. One of them was Raven. “He is the one. The professor.” he informed me. My eyes were glued on the man sitting confusingly on the chair. “What’s his name?” “Matteo. He is Italian, actually. He just got the job and -,”

Just when I believe things will be different now that I am going to be engaged with Matteo, apparently, it looks to me like I'll be the center of a joke once more after this. Much worse is that I’ll also drag Matteo into this even though it isn’t even true. “What nonsense are you talking about?! I will have your head fed with the dogs for telling that against my mate!” Matteo eventually utters out of anger. “How can you be so sure?” A brown envelope containing financial records is then handed to him by Rogen. There's something about that evidence that's making it hard for me to make out what it is or what it might prove.

“No, thanks.” Matteo mirrored my position, his gangly legs shooting straight out, and locked in on the night sky. I’d overheard Daddy say Matteo was very smart, and he even skipped a grade last year. He said he’d be just like Mr. Vitale. Sometimes he even talked like him. Of course, I wasn’t all that impressed. After a long silence, he said, “There’re a billion stars, Nutella girl, and they all shine for you. My mama shines for my pa, but you will shine for me. Right?”

“What if I’m meant to be with someone else?” The words hit like a strike straight to my chest. Koa explodes forward again. Mate. The word roars through me, louder than anything else, drowning out reason, drowning out control. No. The answer is immediate. Violent. There is no one else. There will be no one else. My fingers press in just enough to steady myself, my eyes locking onto her. I can feel the truth closer to the edge of coming out. To tell her she’s our mate. Koa is getting restless.

As soon as we walked in, the owner recognized us and came over with a big grin. “Hey, Emily! Out for dinner with Aden again?” Aden’s body went rigid, and Ivy’s face immediately darkened. She tightened her grip on his hand like she was making a point. The owner looked between the three of us, eyes darting to Ivy and Aden’s joined hands, trying to figure out our relationship. Aden cleared his throat. His voice lowered as he glanced at me, trying to explain himself. “You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not her mate, Aden. I’m James. Emily is my…”

Like glass left too long in a fire, beautiful until it just… cracked. “I’m done holding back,” Matteo finally said. I looked up from the blueprints spread across the table. “What are you saying?” He didn’t answer right away. He just walked over, placed Rafael’s video message in the center of the table, and hit play again. His brother’s muffled cries filled the room. Everyone flinched. “This—” Matteo pointed at the screen, “—this is the line. The last f*cking line.” No one argued. Not even me.

Riley asked and I nodded "Yeah sorry, I spaced out for a bit" I murmured and they nodded "so what movie are we watching?" "Dunkirk" Monica replied and the guys rolled their eyes marking me chuckle. I heard about the movie, its based on world war 2 I think and it has that guy from one direction in it. Heard it's supposed to be good and I'm sure Bennett would be happy to go see since he has talking about it ever since it was first mentioned. I heard him once talking with his friends in school before I knew we were mates that he couldn't wait until it came out and as of now I don't think he's seen it yet and I hope he hasn't yet because then it's suck because I wanted to see it with him.
