After Aria falls asleep, I head straight to the room where I keep all my gym equipment and turn the speed on the treadmill right up. I used to take a jog in the forest that surrounds my home, every day. But, these days, I won’t be away from Aria unless it's absolutely necessary. I can’t get Fucchini out of my head. I could never predict how he would react if he found out, and I have no idea how I would respond to being face-to-face with the man who killed an innocent woman, and my child. My feet thud hard against the belt and I feel the sweat pour from my skin. It’s not till my lungs feel like they’ll collapse that I hit the cool-down mode and allow myself to catch my breath.

“It’s late.” Demitri’s voice comes from behind me, and when I glance back at him over my shoulder, I wonder how long he’s been there.

“Did my mother get home, okay?” I check, knowing it will have been a draining task for him to have to drive her all the way back to Malibu.

“She’s insufferable,” he tells me, dumping a brown case file on the weight bench beside me.

“What's that?” I step off the treadmill, grabbing the hand towel that’s resting over the bar and draping it over the back of my neck

“That's the file, I had hacked, from the computer of the private investigator Fucchini has hired to find his daughter. Your name is on a list of suspects that could have potentially kidnapped her,” he informs me.

“That's shit. Aria spoke to her dad a few days ago. He still thinks she's finding herself,” I assure him, not even bothering to open the file.

“Clearly fuckin’ not, Matteo. It’s all there, in black and white. You know what a clever man Fucchini is, did you honestly expect him to believe her story?”

“You forget who you are talking to.” I square up to him, his new information has put a bitter taste in my mouth. His attitude, and how he’s delivering it, is making me want to throttle him.

“I don’t know who I’m talking to anymore, Matteo. You're detached, nothing matters to you but that damn girl. Did you know we had a whole shipment disappear last week? 150k worth of cocaine just vanished. And do you know who dealt with that? Me.

And all while you were upstairs flicking through the big fucking book of baby names, deciding what to name your son. A son who will have nothing to inherit, if his father doesn’t wake up and start living in the real fucking world.”

I act on instinct, balling up my fist and throwing it at his face.

I love Demitri like a brother but I will not tolerate his disrespect.

He takes my punch well, using his thumb to wipe away the blood that drips from his lip.

“What happened to the shipment?” I ask, once I’ve found my calm, again.

“Some biker gang, who Phillippe thought he could trust, double-crossed him.
