Chapter 43 Forty One

• Getting out of the car I furrowed my brows in confusion and so did many of my men. It was very quiet, the guards and staff were supposed to be here two hours ago. My head snapped in a panic to search for any guard to come across but saw none. I glanced at Matteo with a knowing look and both of our hands went to our guns which were tugged in the back of our pants and my men started to inspect the grounds. I looked up at one of the balconies where Maria usually spends her time. I looked knowing it was too late for her to be awake but I took my chances to see if there was any disturbance but found none.
• Carefully walking in the house my heart dropped to my feet and my eyes franticly searched for Maria.
• "Maria!" I let out a shout, too panicked as there was blood on the floor all the way from the kitchen to the living room, up the stairs.
