FORTY EIGHT
"You guys wait for me here, I won't be long."
The woman's slow steps immediately led her into the house which had been demarcated using a yellow police stripe whose color was so contrasting with the gloomy color of the mansion. But now the yellow line looks torn here and there because it is swept away by strong winds, which always blow in the morning and evening.
After the officers from the police stopped guarding the house since yesterday, the house became even more gloomy and quiet. Dust and dirt from dry leaves were scattered on the terrace of the house which she had always kept it clean. But now she was no longer part of the house. She was no longer the exemplary butler that Jane Duffal had always praised.
How she longed to be in this house and to be a part of this house. Too bad this house can't be used anymore. Even the wake to commemorate the death of the Duffal family could not be held at this house and was diverted to another Richard Duffal's house i

DESPERATE LOVE FORTY NINE
Hazel sprinted to her office after showering, getting dressed and putting on makeup super fast after Kiev contacted her thirty minutes ago. Sweat the size of corn kernels was now dripping from her forehead, as if they were in a race to speed down Hazel's chin and end up in the smooth curve of her neck. She had just run up the stairs to the fifth floor of her office. The elevator on the ground floor happened to be full, and she didn't think she had much time to wait until it didn't accommodate too many people. So that she gasped for breath because she had to climb that high fire stairs using her damn torturous seven-inch heels. “Mr. Walter has been waiting inside?” Hazel asked her secretary breathlessly and her chest was moving up and down so worriedly. If only Mrs. Eden was a man, she would probably be happier to see Hazel's gasping breath because then she could see Hazel's breast moving up and down sexy. But sadly Eden is not a man. She was a middle-aged wom

There was nothing more exhilarating for Hazel than returning to her beautiful life. More precisely, the life she once thought was a beautiful life before Calvin came to break her heart. But at least with that she has learned a little now that life doesn't always have to be straight. Sometimes there need to be twists and turns to make life more interesting and less monotonous. "Mommy, can I have ice cream at the buffet with Zinny?" "You can honey. But not too much, just two scoops." "Okay," Emily replied cheerfully as she gave a soldier-style salute to her superior. Hazel was happy to see her little girl's joy again. After a few days of living apart from Emily, she now misses her shrill voice that often bothers her when she sleeps. "She's incredibly cheerful. I'm so happy when we live together, she never shows excessive sadness when she misses you. She just asks when she can call you, then she'll come back to play with Zinny." Hazel jus
DESPERATE LOVE FIFTY ONE
Among the pedestrians passing by was hidden a man whose existence had never even been glanced at by the people who packed the streets. He may not be an important person. Although his name today has been mentioned many times in various tv channels that broadcast press conferences about the cases that once involved him. But he was never at all flattered by it. Some people must have questioned his existence which didn't appear there in the slightest. He is said to be recovering after the charges leveled against him for the murder of the Duffal family. Yeah, thanks to Kiev for orchestrating the tactic. His kind-hearted boss really knows how to make him happy. Publication was not something he had always liked. He doesn't like to look flashy with the hero title pinned to him. So he was quite appreciative of Kiev's clearing of his name in an effective way that wouldn't attract anyone's attention in the city. Even his photo isn't showing today. Except for the first time he was hunte

The two of them together walked to a park bench provided in front of the bookstore which was now filled with many people who were taking cover. Hazel, who had previously fallen, was limping beside Calvin as he slowly carried her to calm herself from the traumatic experience she had just experienced. Meanwhile, the streets of Downtown Seattle suddenly turned into ravages. The sound of ambulances and police sirens wailing at each other to help the victims who were injured by the indiscriminate gunfire by Edgar and his men. Several stretchers were also intentionally provided by the roadside to accommodate the injured victims, but were still waiting for the next ambulance to arrive to take them to the nearest hospital. In short the scenery around Downtown is very chaotic today. Several people appeared to be crying, their faces frightened and pale, but still filled with relief that they had not died from the sudden chaos of Seattle's rush hour. Those who were injured or f

"Release the brakes, let the car slide and hit a tree." Edgar ordered two of his stupid but big men to push the car hard after pulling down the brake lever. Quickly the car slid off the slightly steep road toward the lush trees on the edge of town. A few seconds later the police car was crushed and badly dented due to the heavy impact that hit the front side of the car and its left and right sides were scratched by sharp hard branches. “They'll find the car soon, but won't be able to find me. Let's go." On the other side of the road, a glossy black SUV was waiting for Edgar to take him to his new hideout. This black car wasn't driven by Edgar’s moron men this time, who only had a big build, but a small brain. Since fifteen minutes ago Rodriguez had been waiting for Edgar there with his sunglasses faithfully framing his beautiful brown eyes. “Pedro was found dead in that cop's house—the spy you infiltrated into the bureau and the police.

DESPERATE LOVE FIFTY FOUR
Night seemed to come so fast for Hazel who was feeling sad and heartbroken. Ever since their return from the clinic a few minutes ago, she had always been haunted by the fear of separating from Calvin again. Even though when she arrived at the clinic and found it was full of people complaining of pain from the injuries from the shooting incident, Hazel felt truly grateful. The snaking line before her leg was treated gave her plenty of time to stare at Calvin longer through her curly eyelashes. She also felt very relieved every time she could actually touch the skin of the man next to her. If she let Calvin go again now, she was afraid that he would never come into her life again. "Rick has contacted you since you came back?" The question Hazel never expected would leave Calvin's lips. She had even forgotten about her ex-lover whom she last saw present at her trial yesterday, but she was reluctant to meet him. At that time she only exch
DESPERATE LOVE FIFTY FIVE
The crates were neatly arranged with large barrels of drugs in them. All of that tonight will be delivered to Lafayette for their loyal customers who have been waiting. Inside the crates are illegal weapons that have been disguised with Brazilian coffee beans and wheat. So far all this can outwit honest security guards, but not smart but petty security guards. Periodically, the security officers get money from the mafia to get their shipments to pass customs. Edgar felt very proud of his children. Bradd, Spencer, and the youngest Ferro, managed to absorb the knowledge he taught perfectly. In fact, growing up without the love of a mother did not become an obstacle for them to succeed in the business of buying and selling illegal goods which their father had long been engaged in. But in the hands of all three the business became three times more successful. Bradd's good negotiator always manages to lure lots of new clients to buy his stuff on the spot. Meanwhile, Spenc
