A Gamma's Revenge (Zalia) novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354 Out Loud
Amir’s p.o.v.

“How did you get that picture?” An unknown voice asks the moment Gianni answers the ringing phone.

“I just took it a second ago.” Gianni answers and a moment later we hear another unknown voice.

“What did you say to Mattia? He looks… well I don’t know what he looks like.”

“Sorry, Mom. I told him I took that picture a second ago.” He says, while he turns his phone towards Mateja.

“Mattia, it is really Mateja. Just look at her, she looks just like Giselle.” Gianni’s Mother says and I see Mateja’s eyes widen at whatever or maybe whoever she is looking at.

Neither of them says a word, just staring at one another, trying to figure out whether this is real. I can see tears form in Mateja’s eyes and then I hear her whisper, “I am sorry.” Before she runs out of the door, Matrius forces me to follow her.

I will leave it to Clover or one of the others to explain things to Mattia, I need to ensure Mateja is safe and doesn’t get lost in this labyrinth that we call the Palace.

Matrius keeps track of Mateja’s scent and we follow her from a distance, allowing her to deal with whatever is running through her mind. Neither one of us can imagine how this must feel for her, finding out she has an entire family out there.

“She is related to Giselle and much closer than anyone could have thought. Maybe that is the reason for the likeness between them, maybe Lucas figured it out too and decided to keep her around for that reason. Some sort of leverage if he ever got into trouble, until he saw how much she looked like Giselle.” Matrius growls softly in my head.

I hate what Matrius figured out, but he is right about one thing. Lucas must have known that Giselle and Mateja were related, the question is, did he find out himself or did their Mother tell him?

“Clover explained to Mattia why Mateja didn’t remember him and said that her apology was probably connected to that.” Pedro informs me through the mind-link.

Matrius is picking up speed as he realizes that Mateja is about to leave the Palace and it is best if no one sees her outside these walls, not with everything that has happened in the past few months.

“Mateja, I understand that you need time to think about everything, but it isn’t safe to go out there. We don’t know if other people are after Giselle or not and I don’t want to see you get hurt.” I say as her hand touches the door handle.

She slowly turns towards me and my heart breaks for the look in her eyes, she looks so devastated. I don’t hesitate to pull her into my arms, the dam on her tears breaks and I just let her cry.

“Clover explained things to your Father, he knows that you didn’t stay away because you hated him or blamed him.” I whisper into her ear. “He is on his way to the Palace, he just wants to see you and will not push you in any way.”
