Chapter 9 - Chapter -9- what's going on

*Sophia's smile grows wider, her voice dripping with venom. "Oh, but I do, Matteo. I know all about your little games. You're using Hana to distract yourself from your guilt, aren't you? From the secrets you've kept hidden for so long?"*

*Matteo's face twists with anger, his eyes fixed on Sophia. "You're lying. You're just trying to manipulate me."*

*But Sophia's words have already taken root, and Hana's eyes are fixed on Matteo, her mind racing with doubts. Is it true? Is Matteo using her?*

*Sophia takes a step closer, her voice whisper-soft. "Ask him, Hana. Ask him about the fire. Ask him about the girl who died."*

*Hana's eyes lock onto Matteo's, her voice trembling. "Matteo, what's going on? What's Sophia talking about?"*

*Matteo's face darkens, his eyes flashing with anger. "Don't listen to her, Hana. She's just trying to drive us apart."*

*But the doubt has already been planted, and Hana's eyes are filled with uncertainty. She takes a step back, her voice cold. "I think I need some time to think, Matteo."*

*Matteo's face falls, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and desperation. "Hana, don't do this. Don't let Sophia win."*

*But Hana's already turned and walked away, leaving Matteo alone with Sophia's mocking laughter echoing in his ears.*

*Sophia's eyes glint with malice. "You're just like your father, Matteo. A monster. And Hana, you're just a pawn in his game."*

*Matteo's face twists with anger, his eyes fixed on Sophia. "Shut up!"*

*Sophia's smile grows wider. "Oh, Matteo. You're so predictable. You'll do anything to prove your power, won't you?"*

*Matteo's eyes flash with anger, his voice low and menacing. "I'll show you power, Sophia. I'll show you what I'm capable of."*

*Hana's eyes widen in fear as Matteo's grip on her arm tightens, his eyes fixed on her with an unsettling intensity.*

*Sophia's voice drips with venom. "Yes, Matteo. Show me. Show Hana what you're really capable of. Take her to the warehouse on 5th and Main. You know, the one where you... took care of the last girl who got too close."*

*Hana's eyes go wide with fear as Matteo's grip on her arm tightens, his eyes flashing with a dark intensity. She tries to pull away, but he holds her fast.*

*Matteo's voice is low and menacing. "You want to play games, Sophia? Fine. I'll show you what I'm capable of."*

*Hana's heart races as Matteo drags her out of the room, Sophia's laughter echoing behind them. She tries to struggle, but Matteo's grip is like iron.*

*As they drive through the city, Hana's mind races with fear. What is Matteo planning to do to her? What secrets is Sophia hiding?*

*The warehouse looms in front of them, its abandoned facade seeming to whisper dark secrets. Matteo's eyes are fixed on Hana, his gaze burning with an intensity that makes her skin crawl.*

*Hana's voice is barely above a whisper. "Matteo, what's going on? What are you going to do to me?"*

*Matteo's smile is cold and calculating. "You'll see, Hana. You'll see exactly what I'm capable of."*

*The darkness closes in around Hana, and she knows she's in grave danger. Matteo's secrets are about to be revealed, and she's not sure if she'll survive to tell the tale.*l
