The charm of Mr. De Luca

Tragic Destiny

Matteo was stunned when he just got out of his car. With a steady step and looking so dashing, Matteo entered the bungalow that just happened to have been opened by Coco. The man immediately contacted Matteo and asked him to come over.

Arriving at the area where the party took place, Matteo was stunned. He did not see any festive excitement there at all, but rather a terrible mess. The place looked messy with corpses strewn everywhere. All died from gunshot wounds.

The sound of police and ambulance sirens roared from a distance. Of course, soon the place will be filled with police and medics.

Matteo then stepped inside the bungalow hall and looked for Mia's figure that he could not find there. He finally continued to cross the spacious room towards the swimming pool.

There, Matteo sees someone in a white wedding dress who has now been covered in bloodstains. Mia sits near Valentino's lifeless body with gunshot wounds in parts. Fresh blood seemed to wash over the man's body. On the other hand, Matteo saw Francesca and Daniella mourning Mr. Gio. The condition of the middle-aged man was the same as Valentino's condition.

At once Matteo's body shook violently. He clenched both hands and tried to dampen the almost explosive turmoil. His anger peaked, especially when he heard the sound of Mia crying. Matteo immediately turned his gaze to the bride in the bridal dress. Soon he stepped towards her and intended to appease the girl of his heart. “Mia ...” call Matteo with vibrating sound.

Mia fell silent. He stopped his crying. The girl then turned to Matteo with her pair of eyes which implied a deep pain. However, Matteo saw there was hatred and anger in his pitiful gaze. This made him hesitate to get closer.

"Stay away from me, Matteo de Luca!” reject Mia firmly. He stood up so that it was more clearly visible his wedding dress filled with blood stains. “Don't you dare approach! I won't see your face again!” Mia said quietly, but very firmly. His voice sounded so vibrating. It was as if he was holding back the anger within him.

“Mia, I ..” Matteo did not continue his words. He saw Coco coming there. The man still had the gun in his right hand. “What happened?” matteo asked with a look filled with curiosity.

“As you can see, Amico. I can't protect them all alone,” Coco regretted.

Mia was a little surprised, as it turned out that Coco recognized Matteo. They even look close and familiar. So did Francesca who continued to observe Coco from a distance. The young girl from the beginning had followed every detail of Coco's scene trying desperately to protect Mia. However, now he must feel disappointed because the man is not as good as he thought.

Coco showed her the battle back then. He had a firearm and an incredible ruthlessness while incapacitating his opponents, clearly implying that he was no ordinary man. The man looked completely different, from the man Francesca had met a while ago.

Matteo could only be silent. He turned his gaze back to Mia who was still standing with her face down. His appearance looks very chaotic. It was a nightmare for Mia. She had just been married, but she became a widow.

The wedding party he had prepared with great difficulty for almost two months, now ended in a painful bloody tragedy. Her father and husband had to die in terrible conditions.

I don't know what dream Mia had, so she had to experience something like that. I don't know who he will pour out all his heart. He doesn't know what to do now, other than cry. Crashing down, his body sitting on the floor. I want to feel like he is screaming with all his might.

“Mia ..” Matteo again mentioned the name of the girl of his heart with great pity. However, Mia still continued to cry while bowing her head. “Mia .. I ... I promise I will ...” Matteo paused his words again when he saw Mia suddenly staring at him very sharply. The girl stood up again. He stepped towards Matteo and Coco. A moment later, Daniella and Francesca approach Mia. They stood on the left and right side of the poor girl.

Unexpectedly, Mia snatched the gun from Coco's right hand and pointed the weapon right at herself. “Mia! What are you doing?” sergeant Matteo as Mia directs the gun Coco is holding towards her own temple.

“Why don't you finish me and my two sisters off right now, Theo! Don't let us live. Our mother passed away a few months ago, and now you too .. You are absolutely outrageous, Mr de Luca!” amuk Mia on the sidelines of her tears.

Coco turned her gaze to Matteo who still did not understand the intent of Mia's words. After that, he then looked at Francesca who was just speechless looking at him. Coco shook her head slowly. The man seemed to want to convince Francesca that they had misunderstood. Francesca gave another signal. The girl clasped Mia's shoulder. That means, Francesca supports what Mia told Matteo.

“You have misunderstood, Mia,” refutes Coco quietly and sounds very soft. He did not dare to move his hand, because Mia's fingers were on the trigger of the gun and could have pressed her every time.

“What's wrong, Mr Ricci? Oh, I don't even know if that's your real name or not,” Mia said softly. “Look at those innocent corpses! What's their fault with the Clan de Luca? We citizens of Venice have nothing to do with your organizational affairs! However, if you do all this because of me, then how much of a burden of sin should I bear for every tear from the families of those poor people? My father, my husband, why don't you kill me, Matteo! Tell your aide to shoot me in the head right now!” challenge Mia loudly. 

“Calm down, Mia,” Coco said as she stretched her left hand out in front of Mia. “Please, and get your hands off my gun. This is not a toy gun.”

Mia's gaze was sharply fixed on Coco. After that, he turned to Matteo. Her tears kept dripping down her cheeks to the corners of her lips. Limply, Mia bowed lethargic. Slowly he took his hand off Coco's gun and threw it over the grass by the side of the pool.

“I hope this is the last time I can see your face Matteo de Luca! After today, I swear that I will end my life if you dare to appear before me again! You're right, Theo. My life would be safer if I were away from you!” Mia was crying hysterically. Francesca immediately hugged him. The two girls both shed tears.

“Go, Theo!” drive Daniella out cynically. He also looked very angry at the man. "You're a fucking guy!" denisella. Although the war has always been bad, but he felt deep pain over Mr. Gio whom he had already considered like his own real father.

Without saying much, Coco immediately pulled on Matteo's arm even though the man rejected her. He still wanted to be there to ask Mia for an explanation for her words that Matteo did not understand.

“Come, Amico! This is not the right time,” Coco invites. There were sirens of police and ambulances nearby. Sayup-sayup heard the sound of police shouting at each other to call if there are survivors.

“No! Mia has to give me an explanation!” reject Matteo firmly. While Coco shook her head a sign of disapproval. He continued to force Matteo to leave immediately. “I will explain everything to you! However, let's go first from here!” bring Coco. He continued to drag Matteo's arm away from the three poor girls.

Coco forces Matteo to jump over the back fence of a bungalow made of wood with flowers vines. The fence was as high as Matteo's chest and they could jump it easily. Behind the fence, Coco took off her white shirt and threw it into a nearby trash can. Bare-chested, he continued dragging Matteo.

“Where is your vehicle?” ask Coco. Matteo immediately pointed to his beloved jeep parked a few meters across the street in front of him. The two of them crossed the seemingly deserted street, as all the attention of the surrounding community was fixed on the front of the bungalow.

Matteo got into his car with a face that looked very strange, so Coco did not let him hold the wheel at that time. “What is it necessary to peel the seat belt for you?” coco asked as she glanced at Matteo who still looked puzzled by her wrinkled face. Matteo looked over for a moment. He immediately put his seat belt on.

“Please say something! I don't understand at all the intent of all Mia's words!” Matteo seemed to be holding back the emotions he wanted to vent immediately.

Coco took a deep breath and then slowly pummeled her. Actually he felt so tired. Immediately, he started the car's engine and ran it. The car was not going too fast.

“That's what you need to fix, Amico. Remember Damiano's words, you must learn to control your emotions,” Coco said calmly. His gaze was straight forward, on the small streets of Venice they were about to leave behind.

“The situation of Mia and her sisters is not good. There is no point in us forcing them to be willing to talk to us normally, especially to you,” Coco's words have made the question mark in Matteo's heart even bigger. The man was getting more and more clueless.

“Can not be convoluted?” Matteo looks annoyed. While Coco only responded with a soft laugh. A moment later, Coco stopped her laughter. His face turned serious.

“You should know something very important. The people who attacked Mia's wedding party and killed her father and husband, were people from the Clan de Luca. I saw for myself a tattoo on the left wrist of one of the perpetrators that I managed to disable. Damn, Mia also saw that. I hope you can understand my explanation, Amico,” Coco said flatly. However, the explanation of Coco actually made the look of Matteo's face look increasingly tense.
