Sebastian, Enzo, Olivia, my parents and Bella burst into my office; I called them as soon as possible when I got a mail...

"Did you find her?" Olivia asks but I shake my head. It's been 3 days since she got lost en still nothing. Where is the world could she be and who did this? The missing report we sent to the media station didn't really help. Some people has come and said they saw a car leaving around the time Emily was kidnap but other than that, nothing...At least when we don't need to believe in what a homeless guy said. He told us he saw a car leaving with one younger man, one old man and some broad guys that sound like guards but when I interviewed him, he was high; so their goes that helpful tip.

"Why are we here?" Enzo asks nervously, his gaze tight; he's never so stressed out. I turn the laptop and show everyone the photo I got; that fucker sent me a photo of her where she looks passed out, her eyes blue, little scares on her face and on top of that, tied on a stole...That image of her hurts me so much that I swear whoever did this, isn't just going to hell, he will also die a painful dead! "Shit..."

"Have you sent this to the-"

"-Police, yes" I cut Enzo off. "But that's not all" I show them what else came. "A letter" I read out loud:

Mateo, look at your little wife; isn't she cute? I've been enjoying her company very much but also my guards. That aside, I wanted to let you know that there is a way for you to get her back. Leave New York and this precious wife of yours will be delivered whole and safe back; your choice what you do but if you choose to stay...well, I think it's her funeral you need to attend before I kill you too.

I let them all see the letter as well, maybe they recognize the handwriting. Everyone shakes their head but only Bella frowns.

"Do you recognize it?" I ask her buy she doesn't response. "BELLA!"

"Yes!" she answers and new hope fills me. "But I don't know where" there goes that hope.

"Wait" Sebastian says and we all look at him. "If he requests you to leave doesn't it mean he's in, I don't know, some kind of Mafia or gang organization?"

"Yeah..." Enzo says, his head nodding. "Can you think of any organization you have a fight with?" I shake my head.

"Other than the Chins, no"

"Could they?"

"No" Olivia says. "I've been checking there every movement and they live in China for weeks now"

"Mateo" dad says when I lean with my hands on the desk on frustration. "What if we don't find her?"

"This is not helping, dad" I response giving him a dead glare; we need to find her...I need to find her. If she's dead then I don't know what I would do.

"I know, but if...Would you consider leave New York?"

"Yes" I sat without hesitation; why shouldn't I?

"Are you out of your mind!" he yells and makes an attempt to slap my face and it works. Everyone is so startles that silence is the only sound in this room.

"What the fuck dad!" I yell back, surprised.

"What's wrong with you! This is not how I raised my son! All this for a stupid woman! Has she been manipulating you that make my son so weak that he would leave his kingdom!?" I still stare at him, not saying a word but I feel the rage in me boiling. "I thought that marrying her was brilliant if you think what kind of company she owns but even now I heard you're giving your shares away!" he laughs sarcastically. "But marrying her is the worst mistake you could ever do! Look at this mess you created! You're making one fault after the other, first not checking in close in Italy; we lost 5 areas and now this! You can't even protect one woman" he steps closer, nor finished yet. "What kind of weak and pathetic child have I put on this world?"

"I'm not weak!" I yell back, enough with his shit; he needs to know where he stands. "I know I'm not like before; I don't think 10 steps ahead or dig into things hard enough but being in love isn't bad! Since I met her I finally see what life is about; she let me see that there isn't only this world that exists but also another beautiful world she and I created. I know I'm not giving my 100% in being Don but I have other things to think about. Since I came here, I not only had New York but also the lives of Italy and the ones I love in my hand. I knew I shouldn't have listened to her when she told me this guy isn't dangerous but she never manipulated me! This is my fault and I'm going to fix this! Woman aren't just playthings, dad, there human and there is one woman I love; she's my everything and soon I'm going to have a child with her" everyone gasps, my dad's mouth hanging open. "Yes, Emily is pregnant and that's one of the reasons, I want her back, not only here but also in my life; you can either support my choice or leave" when I'm finished, he nod.

"Alright" he thinks long and I hold my breath. "I will help you. I see Emily is important to you; she's family now and we never leave family behind" dad takes out his phone. "I will call for extra backup and help" my mom puts a hand on my shoulder and gives me one of those reassuring smiles. "Come, Vanessa, we need to go" soon they leave and we're only with us 5.

"Bella, can you really not remember?" I ask, tears start to form in her eyes.

"I-I wished I could help you" she cries placing her hand in front of her face. Olivia hugs her, telling her everything is alright.

"Have you checked the IP address of the mail?" Sebastian asks.

"Yes I did but no sign of the kidnapper" suddenly there is a knock on the door and Kevin steps inside.

"Boss, there is a guy who has something about the Kidnapping"

"Let him in" a young aged man walks in, a scared expression on his face. "Hello" I greet.

"H-Hello" he stutters. "I read about your wife and I'm so sorry" he stops and thinks again. "That's not why am here" he looks for something in his pocket. "I read that it was at ProtectPower in the garage and luckily my car was there that night and I have a camera installed in the back for safety, but anyhow, here are the videos of that night; your wife is on it and the kidnappers to I think" I take the USB-stick and give it to Enso so he can start it up already.

"Thank you, sir!" I reply, hope filling my chest again.

"N-not a problem, sir, I'm happy I can help"

"What's your name?" I ask and take out a check.

"Robert Merce" he answers.

"Here Robert, a check of 5 million Dollar" he hold his hand up when I try to give it to him.

"No, no, no need; didn't the article said 1 million?"

"It did but this is the best we got now and I'm so thankful; you got my respect and if I can do anything for you, then name it"

"Bingo" Enzo says, smiling and I look back at Robert.

"There is one thing you could do..." he looks down. "My daughter has a bad disease, she should have the medicine this month otherwise she dies-" he chokes on his words.

"How much do you need?"

"10 million" I make a new check with 15 million on it.

"Here, now go safe your daughter, what's her name?"

"Ironically enough she's also called Emily" I smile.

"Beautiful name" Robert leaves and I take place by the laptop and we indeed see Emily. My first clenches when I see her like that; how could I be that stupid to leave her alone like she asked? Because you love her, you idiot! Soon we see 2 men, one old and one young all in black, their faces covered with a black mask; that homeless man was right...the old one quickly moves in the car and I know him from somewhere, he start the engine while the other puts Emily inside the back seat and when he bends down to take her feet, his lower back is exposed, a tattoo on it. "Stop there" I say and we all inspect it. I never saw it before...It's a tribal but you can't see it clear enough because the quality isn't the best. Not soon after Bella gasps, her hand coming to her mouth.

"What?" Enzo says and we all furrow at her.

"I think I know who that is" she looks at me, scared.

"Who, Bella!?"

"It is Ben's..."
