Did you know why Matthew was absent today?" I asked Lucia
After the day that he was taken, he didn't come to school the next day and this was the seventh day that he went missing.
"You've been asking me the same question every morning for the past seven days and like I told you, I don't know anything. Women of the mafia clan don't have a say in everything. We just follow. We don't ask questions." Lucia answered.
I took a deep breath and checked my phone from time to time, hoping that Matthew would send me a message. I was messaging him for the past seven days asking if he's okay but he never answered.
Almost a month has passed before Matthew suddenly showed up to school. I was so happy to see him but when he came back, he was a totally different person. His eyes were colder than before and his aura was darker.
