Chapter 18
Michael's POV:
A lot has occurred in two months. I am still on the hunt for Mateo and Leticia is now four months pregnant. I am currently on a stakeout with my partner, waiting for a business partner of Mateo's when my phone began to ring. I took my cell phone out of my pocket and looked at the caller I.D. I saw that it was Leticia and answered it immediately.
"Leticia, is everything alright?" I asked.
"Michael," Leticia mumbled as she began to sob.
"What's wrong?" I added.
"Hello, Michael." A familiar voice said through the phone.
"Mateo!"
"I'm sorry Leticia couldn't continue but she is a little busy at the moment. However, I have all the time in the world since I've escaped prison. A prison that you put me in." Mateo explained.
"I'm gonna get you, Mateo. I promise you that."
"You will have to catch me first but you better make sure your fiance is alright, to begin with." Mateo teased before hanging up the phone.
I hung up the phone and immediately ordered my partner to drive me to my place. I called the chief and told him what happened while requesting back up on the way. When we arrived, I ran out fo the car and into the house as I shouted, "Leticia!"
I had no answer so I ran upstairs and into our bedroom where I found her tied to a chair and her mouth duck taped shut. I gently peeled the tape from her mouth and undid her binds. She wrapped her arms around me and squeezed me tight.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"I'm alright, I'm alright." Leticia cried.
I gently placed my hands over her pregnant belly while she put her hand over mine. I kissed her forehead and hugged her tight. I couldn't believe that Mateo did this! Scaring his sister just to catch me off guard.
Once things calmed down and Layla was able to collect herself after the incident, I sat down with her at our breakfast table so I could ask her some questions.
"Leticia, how did he get in?" I asked.
"I don't know, Michael." She began. "I was about to head to work when I came downstairs and I found him sitting on our sofa. He was accompanied by two men. I can only assume they were apart of his gang."
Leticia began to cry so I wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"Michael, he chased me up the stairs and tied me to the chair. He blames you for everything and shamed me for being with you. He threatened our child!" Leticia sobbed.
"Bebe, prometo que no dejare que lastime a nuestro hijo (Baby, I promise I won't let him hurt our child)," I promised.
I pulled Leticia in for a hug. She is so frightened that I didn't know how to react. I did know one thing and that is that if Mateo wants to play with fire, then we will play with fire. Mateo, I am coming for you!
