mattia's pov

"so mr. and mrs. price, what's your decision," the doctor asks.

natalie and colin look at each other, scared and not knowing what the right answer is.

"i think y/n would want to take the surgery," i speak up. "shes a risk taker, always has been."

colin sighs and nods. "mattia's right, y/n would want the operation."

"i know," natalie says looking down. "doctor, can we see her before you guys take her in?"

"yeah of course— right this way," he points to the doorway.

we wake up mark and maximo and all of us follow the doctor to her room.

as we walk, i take out my phone and text the group chat with kairi and alejandro.

text to kairi, alejandro
mattia: i want you both to find leads on the shooter. now.
kairi: yes boss
alejandro: we'll pull up the security footages.
mattia: he had a his hood up, i couldn't even see his face.
kairi: we'll just see what we can get from the video. i'll rewatch it.
mattia: you sure?
kairi: you forget my specialty is finding people.
alejandro: i'll just support him in the back.
mattia: okay then
kairi: how's y/n?
alejandro: ^^^
mattia: she needs surgery. she'll either end up paralyzed or perfectly fine.
kairi: she's a strong girl.
alejandro: she'll be fine mattia
mattia: i know she will.
kairi: alright. ale and i are gonna go to work.
alejandro: send her my regards ❤️
kairi: mine too.
mattia: i will. i'll be home soon.

when we walk into her room my my heart immediately sank when i see her in that condition, she looked so lifeless and helpless.

"hey mija it's dad," colin notifies her. "you're gonna go through an operation soon okay? and then after that you'll be perfectly fine."

"can she hear what we're saying," natalie asks the doctor.

"we don't know," he answered.

everyone took turns saying something to her.

i was the only person who didn't say anything yet.

"can you guys give us some privacy?" i ask.

everyone nods and exits the room.

i walk over to her bed and take a seat next to her legs.

"hey princess," i say taking her hand, "it's me."

i pause for a bit because i didn't really know what to say. i just wanted her to be better.

"i promise you i will find whoever did this to you okay?" i guarantee her. "kairi and alejandro are working on it as i speak."

i wait and look at her as if she was going to respond me.

"just please get better babygirl. i need you here. we were gonna unite our people together. i need you by my side to do that." i kiss her hand and didn't even noticed when i whispered, "i love you."

gently, i put hand down and kiss her forehead.

"mr. polibio," the doctor says peaking his head in. "we have to take her now."

i nod and step away from her bed.

back at home
"alejandro? kairi?" i'm home.

"we're in the computer room!" kairi shouts.

i make my way to the computer room and saw them rewatching the video of the man shooting her.

i clench my jaw because it was still unsettling to watch.

kairi pauses the video. "there" he said pointing at i don't fucking know what.

alejandro and i look at each other in confusion.

kairi turn back at us. "you don't get it do you."

we shake our heads.

kairi sighs and zooms in on the gun. "that gun brand look familiar?"

"kairi you beautiful, beautiful human being," i say and kiss him on the forehead.

he scrunches his face and pushes me off. "ew go away."

alejandro and i lean in closer to the computer screen and examine it. the initials: KC were carved into it.

"the kingston cartel?" alejandro asks. "they were in on it ?"

"only one way to find out," i sigh. "let's stop by their gun warehouse."

all three of us take our stuff and exit the house.

princesa i'm so close to finding out who did this to you.
