Finally, I had the warrant in hand and gathered several officers, and we headed in three vehicles to serve the warrant. We are excited about getting these two women.
According to my senior, these two have their hand in a lot of the cases we are working on, and we need to be careful how we handle each case, making sure they can't get out of them. It will be a big coup for us to get them off the streets. The mansion is huge, just like most wealthy family homes in this area are. I pulled up at the massive gates and wound my window down as a guard came to my window.
“Can I help you, officer?”The guard was young, in his early twenties. I lifted my warrant to show him, but he hardly glanced at it.
“I am here to collect Mona and Rissa.”I did not get to say their last names as he backed away, and the large gates started to creek and grind, and they slid open. Well, that was easy. I thought I would get into an argument, or at least he

*RIO*Just as my day was ending, Pam came to my office. She was beautiful and kind. More than once since we had met, during these cases, she had been there for me when I was falling to pieces because of Lena and what she had gone through.Pam and I had dinner at her place, and we talked late into the night. She helped me through some rough patches there. We have not yet stepped into a relationship, but if she is willing, we could look at something soon. I had needs, and she would have been interested if I had read the hints correctly.“Hi Pam, what brings you to my office?' I asked, keeping this safe office etiquette. I do not need to be the talk of the office.“I assumed that you already knew of the arrests.”I nodded at her and waited for what she had to say.“Would you like company when you go to tell Lena?”She blushed when she said this; I took that as another hint. Would I like her company? I think she had tried to

*MILENA*Dad and Pam came and gave me the news. I am a little bit mixed up with my feelings. This is my family who hurt me, and I feel betrayed. I know they have never really shown any interest in me and have more or less ignored me and used me, but they are still family, and I am going to send them to jail. I feel a little guilty about that. I do not understand what I had done for all this to happen and wish I could understand.My need to be true to my family was more complicated than I thought. Felicia said it was like many battered women. They are loyal to the one causing the pain, believing they will change and that they really do love them. I am not sure if I can cope with going through that type of beating again.Why do people act like that? I don't think I will ever really know the answer.“You can return to your condo, but I wish you to have two bodyguards, speak with Arturo, and get him to contact Scott until this is all put to bed. It would be a bit relieve if you’re always

*ARTURO*My day has been disappointing so far. One of the doctors was not going to make it in this field of surgery, and I had to take over from him in the middle of an operation. That is part of my teaching job, but taking over for someone else during the operation was not a good feeling. He just froze in the middle of the operation when the man's blood pressure dropped quickly. The poor lad had to stand and watch as I took over and gave instructions. Luckily, the patient was okay. Well, as good as can be expected. I spoke with Gustavo, and he agreed that he was struggling and would suggest another field of medicine. It is sad when you can see someone trying so hard but does not have the ability.When I walked into the area where I live with Lena at the moment, I could smell vanilla and lavender, it was so calming. I followed the sound of soft music to the area where we slept, and there on the bed in a bright red outfit where Lena lay. She was reading a book and looked up at me over

*MONA*“What do you mean, I have to stay here. For how long? Why can't I get out on bail?”I was fuming. My lawyer was shuffling papers around and looking rather nervous. He is not used to me losing my temper like this. It is rare for him to be on the receiving end of my anger.“Mona, Calm down. I have been to our Judge, but he cannot do anything. He cannot overrule the other judge's orders without good cause. You are going to have to stay in jail until the hearing, which is next week. It is the earliest I could get.”He tried to placate me, but I was beyond angry.“That is not good enough. Is there anything you'd be able to do?”“No, sit tight. A week will fly by, and you will be out in no time.”He said as he packed up his briefcase and left; it was easy for him to say, he is not in here, listening to rude women who think they are better than you or more challenging than you, and poor Rissa was in a fight last night. The other woman accused her of stealing her dinner, punching her on t

*RIO*“Dad, will you be bringing Pam tomorrow? When we talked the other day, you mentioned that she likes sports.”Lena asked me as I helped load up the car with the things she had accumulated at the lab while staying there. I have more in my car that belongs to Arturo than to my girl. She was always a minimal girl, not needing much to make her happy.“Yes, Pam is looking forward to it.”I was so excited when Pam agreed. She seemed like a good sort and offered to bring something for snacks.But I told her we had it covered. We will go to the den again this weekend, and if Lena is up to it, we will have the following one at her place. I need to know she has settled in and is comfortable with the new security measures we are putting in place.Lena climbed into the vehicle, and you could feel her getting anxious already, and we had not hit the road yet. This seemed to be the biggest hurdle that she needed to jump. Having been hit like she was, she is going to be jumpy for a while, and no

*MILENA*Saturday with us moving home. I did not have a chance to make pies for tomorrow. Arturo refused to let me stay up late at night to cook them. I have to admit I was tired from all the moving, and my head and neck were hurting. I am looking forward to not walking around in pain all the time.When we reached the parking space the following day, the bodyguards waited for us. We climbed into a special SUV, which Scott said was as close to what Dad had as he could find in his fleet. I am not sure why I felt I needed bulletproof glass; it was just another feature that made me feel better.I guess.It won't stop a car from ramming us, but it will prevent other issues. From what Dad had said, I was still in danger, but I had argued that I needed to have a life, and being caged in the hospital was not a life.Even if it is where I spend most of my time, I need to feel I can leave when I want to and sleep in my bed.The trip to Hank's was pretty decent. I was sitting in the middle with

*MONA*“Get up and come with me,”a guard demanded. This guard always looked down her nose at me as if I was below her. How dare she! It could have been more pleasant. Wait until I get out of here, and I will track her down and give her a lesson she will not forget for treating me so badly.I was taken out of my dingy cell and marched unceremoniously to an interview room. The inmates mocked me as I walked by. I wondered what was going on, as I was not expecting visitors. The lawyer said he would see me again after the trial unless there was some new development. Could he have been here and found a loophole? I was suddenly keen on getting to the meeting room and finding out what the lawyer found.The guard put me in a room and left me in chains. I hate that they do that. I am not a violent woman. Why do I need chains when I get a visitor? It is so degrading, and they hurt my wrists and ankles. I tried to put the chains behind me and think about what the lawyer had, but it was not the la

*ARTURO*Louisa loves my old place and is happy we sold it to her. She and her fiancée wanted a place of their own, as she had visited me many times before and had mentioned that if I wanted to sell, she was interested. To thank me, she has invited us over for dinner tonight. I am not sure how good Louisa is at cooking, but as we are neighbors, I have no excuse not to accept it.That, especially when Lena already gave me a signal to say yes, is another thing about Lena that I love. She is warm and caring and, no matter how badly she has been treated, still loves her family, and that now includes mine. She treats them all with kindness.Did I say love?Am I in love with her?Have I stepped over that line, for real?Yes, I am, but I should not be surprised. I spent so much time with her and was upset when she did not remember me, but I had not looked at my feelings so deeply. I used the word love lightly, but when you go deeper, I am in love and want to spend my life with her.However,

*ARTURO*“Can we do both Rissa and Mum's funeral simultaneously? I do not want to go through it twice. Plus, I have an operation booked for a few days; we need to avoid clashing with that.”Lena showed almost no remorse or hurt; it was as if she was now immune to it all, and that worried me.Rio looked at me with the same surprised look, but we needed to figure out how to proceed.“I will call the hospital and see when I can collect her body and notify the funeral service of the added change.”“Want to come home for coffee?”Lena asked Rio.“No, I need to head home, shower, and change. I have a busy day tomorrow.”Rio hugged Lena and shook my hand; I got to pay the bill this time.Lena was too far gone in her thoughts to even think of the bill; score one for me.**********The following two days were a blur. Dad said that Lena might have selective amnesia, not wanting to have that pa

*ARTURO*Being woken up with that news shook me a little; I had to be there for my girl instantly while my head was still foggy. I can honestly say I was awake when I heard those words over the phone and pulled Lena to me. She was shaking, and though her voice was clear, her heart was beating faster, and she was fighting tears. Once she hung up the phone, she cried for a little while. I asked why the tears, and she said because, in her heart, she had lost a mother and sister; even if they were terrible and caused much pain and sorrow, deep down, they were still her family.We headed to the kitchen for breakfast. All ideas of relaxing at home were gone. She will want to go to work and keep her mind busy. We had intended to have a late start; I had no surgery, and her work in the lab was still cooking.I did my rounds at the hospital and released more patients before heading to Lena’s lab. She was checking on the monkey and Mr Green's stats. I loved that she

*JACKO*Being called out to the Sun Valley Sanitarium with my team was not a pretty sight. We could not arrest the woman who did the stabbing as she was already there for life, being classed as a danger to society and never to be released. The two women were never meant to have been put in that wing with that dangerous woman. I am kicking myself for not checking on the woman when I got the news of the first beatings, but I had so much on my plate. I got the call on my way there to check on them that they had been stabbed. I was nervous calling Rio and relieved when his phone went to the message bank. I hung up on Lena, and she promised to tell Rio. I feel bad for interrupting his joy of his first grandson and the honor of being named after him. I will have to catch up later and have a congratulatory drink.Lena seemed to take it well, but then she most likely had a lot to handle lately, and this would be just another blimp on her already rocky road of life.Our team is

“Is that why your Dad is not here? He was at the hospital holding mini Rio?”Felicia giggled,Paula and Alma arrived in time for all the news to be repeated.The den was different without Dad there. It had been a while since I celebrated the game with others, which had not included my Dad being there. I genuinely hope he gets to spend more time with Diego and his little growing family; the three of us used to be closer and somewhere along the line. Mona chased him away. I am sad that I had not noticed her doing it. I was too busy at the time, getting my doctor's degree, and missed out on seeing my brother at a critical time in his life. I hope he knew I supported him with his life choices.“Lena, the lass, is out of hospital and back home. She has her family with her to support her, and the courts have put the man in jail. She can get a divorce from him. Now he is in jail. It has made it easier. I believe she will sell the house and move in with her sis
Billionaire Ex, Divorce It! Chapter 112 Named after Dad
*RIO*“Come see our son.”Judy beckoned them in.Diego was the first to go to bed, while the rest were held back and watched. He kissed Judy on the lips and then kissed the newborn's butt, and we all chuckled.Lena then offered to let him cut the cord; she turned the baby over so we could see the little boy. Diego took the scissors and cut the cord, and we all cheered as Diego gathered the little one in his arms and kissed his head. I took a small blanket over to him to wrap the baby in and waited for him to.When the baby was wrapped,Diego wanted to give Judy his attention, so he handed the baby off to me. I was shocked he did not give the child to Nate, but then Nate was a mess and may not have been up to holding the little one.“Here, Granddad, take Rio for a while, will you?”I looked at him with shock, but his face was full of love and pride; there was no sign that he was joking about the name, and he broke into a broad smile as I took the little bundle in my arms and almost wept a
Billionaire Ex, Divorce It! Chapter 111 The hearing
*JACKO*The court hearing was underway. It was a Saturday, not a typical day for a court hearing, but it was the only time we could get it heard. The judge slotted the day in for us, as we promised it would only take the day. The courtrooms were booked out for months, and we no longer wish this case to be drawn out. The courtroom was closed, and no public, including the media, was allowed in. We tried to keep out who was going to others; it looked low-key. If someone wanted to push, they could dig further and find out, but it's been so good so far. When I arrived, I had yet to investigate.I sat in the audience watching as our prosecutor tore strips off the first few men from the Gutter Boys gang to pieces, and the four of them went to jail. The first three guys tried were the ones that hit Lena’s car and were also the ones that fired the tranquilizer darts at Scott's team. They had a good lawyer, but our case was airtight, and they were sentenced with parole, but they still had five

*MILENA*Arturo made watching the fireworks a whole new enjoyment. The thrusts into me were almost timed to the explosions going on outside, though I am unsure if he even noticed what was going beyond the window. The largest red flower bloomed in the sky as I skyrocketed over the threshold, and if Arturo had not held on for dear life, I would have collapsed because of the intensity of the climax.After a cleanup, we headed over to Louisa’s. I insisted we knock and wait, which I noticed Arturo only does at work. I had told him it was a courtesy to knock first, but he just shrugged and walked in anyway.Before he learns to knock, he should walk in on something he does not want to see. Louisa did not seem too surprised. He walked in without knocking, and I wondered if it was a family thing, and if so, I had no chance of changing his ways since I never locked my door in the beginning. I must have thought it was an open invitation. If I wanted him to knock, I would have closed the door. Be

*ARTURO*After arguing with Milena about her bodyguards for what felt like the one-hundredth time, she caved and agreed she would not leave the Condo without them. I would not have peace of mind at work if I had to worry about whether Lena was still at home and was okay. Scott promised better security this time round and had secretly put a bug on Lena, I think, on her phone, but I am not sure, and he won't tell me, but he said if she leaves the Condo without the security, he would know she was on the move and get the men to her. I wouldn't say I liked it, but it was the best we could come up with.Tonight, we were having dinner with my sister. She contacted me an hour ago to ensure we were still coming. She did not want to start cooking, and we did not turn up. Luckily, I had finished in the theater and could answer the phone. It is hit-and-miss to catch me when at work.For a change, instead of walking home, I took our car service. I saw the bodyguards parked across the road as we ap

*MILENA*Today, I decided to stay home, sorting out my things and generally cleaning up the Condo. We were going to go next door for dinner, and I thought about making a sweet to take with me.Arturo said it was unnecessary, but it is what I like to do, and he was wise enough not to argue with me. The place did not need much cleaning. We both seem to clean up after ourselves, leaving just the floors and washing to be done. The sliding door to the balcony was wide open, allowing a fresh breeze to blow through the place. It was nice to be able to open the place up and let nature clear the air inside, not that it was bad or anything; it was a nice refreshing feeling it gave me when I felt the wind in my face. We can often get a strong breeze up here, and having the door open was not good. Today is a good day.I had the television on, listening to the sports commentary about this weekend's games, and there was nothing of great interest yet. The television was more background noise. I had
