"Are you here to bring Arabella back to me?" I question, with a raised brow.
She giggles before looking around my office. "You have to give her to me first."
A confused look makes a way to my face. "Amelia, stop playing dumb and give me back my girlfriend."
"Sorry, Vinny but I don't have your girlfriend. I was here to ask her what happened with Francesco. She won't answer her phone. I'm guessing the break up wasn't good."
"She told me she was spending the night with you." I inform, suspiciously.
"Oh, um-." She picks up her phone and starts awkwardly laughing. "Oh, Arabella. What's that? You want me back to the house because of reasons? Sure."
"Cut the crap, Amelia. I'm not too fond of you so I don't want you to fuck with me. Where's Arabella?" I ask.
"She was last with Francesco. She was breaking up with him." She whispers.
I attempt calling her but it goes start to voicemail. She is in trouble. What's wrong with her? I said her niceness would be the death of her.
I proceed to call Luca. "Che succede uomo capo?" He speaks in a childlike voice. [Italian Translation: What's up boss man?]
"Give me that bastard's phone number!" I yell in frustration.
"Who? Francesco?"
"Chi altri stupidi?" [Italian Translation: Who else, dumbass]
"Okay calm down, Vince. If Arabella's in trouble we'll get her back. I promise." He says in a calm tone.
I get a notification that he sent his number and I dial it immediately. "Hello?" He speaks almost instantly.
"Give her back."
"Who is this?" He asks, frustrated.
"You bastard, you know who this is. Give me back Arabella." I seeth.
"Oh, her name isn't Arabella. It's Adalina." He says.
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about. But I want my girlfriend back right now. How much money do you want? I give you anything, just give me back, Arabella." I ramble.
"Look. I can't do that. I don't want to die. I'm just doing my job." He informs me.
"Your job for who?"
"Her dad requested for her and told me not to fail. I don't know how to help you but I-."
"Francesco, who are you talking to?" A familiar deep voice says.
"Uhm, talk to you later, mom." He coos cutting the call.
I toss my phone across the room almost hitting Amelia and bang my fists against the table causing it to bruise up. "If you looked after her, she wouldn't have been in this position." I blame.
"It's not my fault. She wanted to go by herself." She protests. "I really didn't mea-."
"Shut the fuck up, Amelia. Because of how much you envy her I bet you and him set this up. You're happy she's gone, aren't you?" I accuse due to my anger.
"No, no. I'm not. I didn't do anything. I understand you're mad Vince but you ne-."
"Don't fucking call me Vince! I'm not your friend! I only tolerate you for her sake! Esci dal mio ufficio, cazzo!" [Italian Translation: Get the fuck out of my office]
"Fine." She whispers walking out. I couldn't tell whether or not she understood me. If she did this whole time she understood all the crap I was talking about in front of her. And told Arabella.
I furiously type a message to Luca to try and schedule an appointment with Francesco to try and get Arabella back.
"Ti salvero, piccola." I whisper, throwing my head back. [Italian Translation: I'm coming to save you, baby]

Some of this chapter is missing. I don't know where it went to. Like, I'm actually confused. I remember including Amelia and Vincenzo slightly bonding or something like that. I think I got rid of it because it messed up the story a bit.
