A Lifetime With You by Athrhteera

Chapter 110 Matteo

The next morning, I had rang Mikhail and Alexei. They had picked up the call within seconds and they had assumed the worst, just like they always did. Luckily enough, I was out at the balcony and Alena was in the bathroom-she didn't hear the conversation. "I want us to discuss a few things," I said, slowly.

"What kind of things?" Alexei had asked, keeping up his ego.

Mikhail had agreed to meet up later in the afternoon, just at my house. It was better for us to discuss things without having to pick any other places. Alena could also be involved in the conversation, to make it easier for her to understand the current situation. However, Alexei kept asking questions, as if he didn't have the time to spend.

I knew he had been busy lately but this involved the safety of his sister, he needed to pay attention and put in his effort. Other things were important as well but Alena's safety was more important than anything else, she was his family and she was my wife. They didn't have a choice but to protect her. While I was willingly giving my all to protect my wife, to make sure she was safe and sound. I never wanted any harm to come her way and after what happened recently, I was being more cautious. "Regarding your sister,"

"You're here to tell me she ran away again?"

I scoffed, "You can't keep assuming the worst, Alexei."

"I try not to but knowing your reputation, it's hard."

"My reputation?"

I kept quiet, waiting for him to continue.

"The things that happened to Alena had happened to Sofia once. I don't think you have forgotten about it?" He replied, somehow being sarcastic.

It was hard to forget about the things that happened with Sofia. She was once the love of my life and I had grieved her passing but she had betrayed me-I had spent years blaming and drowning myself in guilt for the things that happened to her. After I had known her betrayal towards me, I had moved on

It wasn't my fault for the things that happened with Sofia. She didn't feel grateful for the things we had and she only wanted more. Her selfishness and her greed had led to her own downfall in which I had nothing to do with.

"That was years ago," I muttered.

"Still... dejavu, don't you think?"

- "I'm not talking on the phone with you to play games,"

He chuckled, "I'll try to be there later. What time do you prefer?"

"Later in the afternoon. It's up to you,"

"Great, I'll see you soon."

Just as I was about to say something, he had already ended the call. I sighed deeply before I put away my phone, staring at the view from the balcony-the morning sky was beautiful today and it was one of the things I had to be grateful for. ""Matteo,"

I turned around, seeing Alena standing by the sliding door.

She was fresh out of the shower and she was still in her towel. I had expected her to get dressed but she was standing there with the towel covering her body. I knew if I pulled it away, she was going to stand naked in front of me and believe me, I was tempted to do that. My eyes wandered down from her face and it lingered a bit longer on her long legs.

"Are you okay? Who were you talking to?" She asked, getting my attention.

"Your brother.

She frowned, "Why? Did he call you?"

"I called him."
