Beyond Deception

Chapter 4

MATT’s POV

“Hey, what’s wrong?” – Liam tapped me on my shoulder snapping me out of my thoughts. We are already in the car heading towards the Amato residence. –“You were quiet the whole flight.”

“Nothing much. Just going over a couple of things I have to do.” – I shrugged off.

“Yeah. I don’t buy it. Don’t worry, it will be fine.” – He tried to reassure me. He knows it’s about what we came here to do.

“No, it won’t.” – I steadily say.

“What do you mean?”

“It won’t be fine. We won’t be leaving without a fight.” – I cans see the puzzled expression on his face.

“What fight? What are you not telling me?” he worriedly asked.

“I mean a fight with Francesca. I’m sure she won’t take this lightly. And she’s not one to keep her thoughts to herself.” – I finaly confessed. This is not just a deal to me. Liam laughed and patted me on my shoulder again.

“Women, Matt. I’m sure you’ll handle this just right.” – We both had spent a very short time with Francesca, but he too had seen that sassy attitude I’m referring to. He knew I was in for a tough ride, but still. “Nothing my big bad mafia boss of a brother can’t handle.”
