'fucking alejandro.'

— elora

i open my eyes to the sound of cars pulling up outside the cabin. it couldn't of been mattia because he was right next to me with his arm around my waist.

i quickly got up and put on my clothes from last night that were on the floor and made my way to the window. i moves the blinds out of the way and saw seven black range rovers pull up and people get out of the car.

my eyes widen once i saw mariano, nathaniel, antonio, amber, lezi and graziana.

my eyes widen as i quickly turn around and run back over to the bed and shake mattia.

"mattia!" i whisper yell and he stirs and his sleep. "mattia! wake the fuck up!"

mattia opens his eyes and sits up. "what?" he groggily asks.

i chuck him his clothes and he starts putting them on. "mariano's here." i tell him as i hear banging on the door.

mattia stands up and walks over to me and stands in front of me.

"fucking alejandro." he mutters under his breath.

"graziana was with them," i panic. "what was she doing with them?"

"did she look scared?" mattia asks turning to face me.

i slowly shake my head. "then mariano most likely brought her into the canyons— shit they broke the door down."

i look around the room to see if there's a way out but there's nowhere, well that's until mattia spoke up.

"do you trust me?" he asks looking at the window.

"what?— yeah— yeah of cource i do." i answer as i hear them walking up the stairs.

"then let's jump." he suggested and my eyes widen.

"mattia that's a long jump," i tell him. "we'll break our ankles."

"it's either breaking our ankles or you dying up here? choose?"

i huff and walk over to the window and look out it. "fine then, let's do it."

mattia nods. "ladies first."

i roll my eyes and open the window. i step one foot out and then the other and jump down.

once my feet hit the floor i didn't hear a snap or anything but the only thing i felt was pain my my left ankle.

i had twisted my ankle.

i look back up at the window and see mattia. he jumps down and then grabs my hand and takes me to the car.

i get into the car and so does mattia before mattia starts driving very fast.

"where are we going?" i ask as i look out the window to see if any of them were following us.

"back to new jersey." he replies, keeping his eyes on the road.

"i don't think it was alejandro who told them about us being here." i say, turning back to face him.

"why?"

"because alejandro wouldn't tell mariano," i said. "he'd tell your dad and your dad isn't here."

"okay then who do you think told mariano?"

"graziana."

we finally made it back to new jersey by taking the private jet. i had just walked into my house with mattia by the side of me and once i did a gun was held to mattia's head.

i widen my eyes as i see mason holding the gun. "mason! what the fuck!" i bunch my eyebrows together.

"he's going to hurt you princess." mason said as he put his arm in front of me so i'm 'protected.'

i saw mattia's jaw clench and his face become red.

"mason put the fucking gun down, now!" i demand but he doesn't listen. "listen to the future donna before i fucking kill you!"

mason scoffs and puts the gun down. "mattia.. i think it's best if you leave." he nods and then leaves the house.

i turn to mason and slap him across the face. "you ever fucking do that again then you're dead." i growl and turn back around to walk upstairs to my bedroom.

i slam the door shut before getting undressed and heading for the shower.

— mattia

i walk through my house door still with my jaw clenched. i can't believe graziana. she was supposed to be one of elora's best friends.

"mattia?" alejandro squinted his eyes to make sure it was me. "what're you doing back?" he asks coming out of the kitchen and walking over to me.

"mariano showed up." i spit and head into the kitchen. i get out a glass and fill it up with whiskey. i then drink it all and slam the glass down.

kill alejandro.

what? no. i can't do that.

yes you can! kill him!

no!

i shake my head and turn to alejandro.

"i promise i didn't tell anyone anything." he said putting his hands up in surrender.

"i know," i huff. "it was graziana."

"graziana?" ale widens his eyes. "as in one of my best friends?"

i slowly nod. "the back-stabbing bitch works for mariano now."

"oh.."

"yeah," i bitterly chuckle. "oh."

another short one! sorry! also never proofread because i'm in a rush!
