POV: Miguel“We are not playing games, Mr. Hawkins; we are hiding from the thugs that evaded your home while you were away. They had guns, Mr Hawkins, they threatened to shoot us if we made any move to contact the cops or you. They were so mean and heartless, they hurt anyone that refused to follow their orders.” One of the maids let out in fear, her voice breaking at the end.“They robbed us and left with ma’am Eloise and her two girls.” Another girl added sadly, her eyes filled with tears. I don’t even know if she is crying for herself or for Marisol and her daughter, who is missing.“What thugs? Where are the guards? Who let them in? Who brought them here?!” Raphael asked in anger, kicking the lamp on the table in front of him. He looked so furious, I wanted to punch him in the fucking face.“What games are you playing, Raphael? Are you in this together? Are you working with Eloise to keep my sister away from me?What is the big idea? What do you hope to gain from this? Where
POV: RaphaelI knew I should never have trusted Eloise; I fucking saw the signs; I saw her making those suspicious calls, looking as guilty as hell. I should have known that she was not ready to come clean with the girls. She is not okay in the head, I should have known that. Like, how the hell does she plan to take them out of the city without our knowledge, isn’t that insane?“Where the fuck are you?!” I screamed in anger as I called Carl to ask him where all the guards in the house suddenly disappeared to. “I’m currently driving to the airport to meet up with the boy’s boss. I was called a few minutes ago and they briefed me on what went down in your house.” He explained calmly, trying not to provoke me. But I’m way past that level, I’m so fucking pissed!“Really Carl!Really?You just got a call about it, where the fuck were you?I made you my chief of security for a reason, I put you in charge of all my affairs because I trust you, I knew you could handle things when I’
POV: RaphaelFirst, she was in the hospital the day Victoria went missing, then again, she had gone to the hospital on the day that family had that unfortunate accident. Same hospital, same motive, and the same method always. It’s so easy to draw the connection and see that she is not just a criminal mind; she is a murderer, too. “Why are you staring at that file as if it has answers to all the questions we have in front of us? Why can’t you do something useful to get back my sister, what are you doing with these damn papers?” Miguel asked in anger, snatching the paper I was holding from me.I was so close to punching him 9n the face once more, but I just recalled my last words to him a few minutes ago, asking him to work with me so we could solve these mysteries together. I swear if it wasn’t for the guilt that I’m feeling in my heart, I wouldn’t have backed down or agreed to work with him on his case.He's a proud asshole, he thinks he has every right to boss me around because
POV: MiguelShe is a terrorist… She is an international terrorist!I left my sister to go to war with a terrorist all by herself; I let Marisol face her all alone. What was I thinking? Why did I let her leave all alone? I can’t believe that I just lost her after searching for her for many years and finally finding her. It's as if my coming into her life is causing more harm than good. It’s my fault that she is missing, if I didn’t tell her the truth, maybe she would still be here with me pretending to be my friend. I should have kept up with our presence; I should have kept her as a friend while I finished my investigation and spoke with Vera Kendall. Now, she is missing, what am I going to tell our mom? How do I explain to her that I found Marisol, and then I lost her again? I feel so stupid; I should have been more careful; I should have taken things slowly. Now look what I’ve caused, see the outcome of my sloppiness. She is missing, and if I’m being honest, I’ll admit that
POV: MiguelNo, I’m not being paranoid, I’m just being careful. The explosion at the airport was unexpected, nobody saw it coming. Besides, if I were a criminal mastermind trying to get away from the cops and everyone else, would I use the same bombs that would be traced back to me? No, I won’t!So it’s either those bombs were used on purpose to distract us and get us driving around the city to look for Allen. They could be doing this to buy more time and get away, or this could be a trap to get us out of the way for good. I’m sure those guys are not plain stupid. There is a plan behind every action they take, so I need to be very careful if I want to make it back home to my mother alive. “Something is wrong! Do you not hear that beeping sound coming from the walls, what could that be?” I asked Raphael, screaming so loud so he wouldn’t ignore me. I succeeded in getting his attention and the attention of the guys in the room. They all paused and paid more attention to details,
POV: Miguel“I don’t care what you say to Raphael, but I will find you, Eloise, and I will make sure you pay for everything you have done to my sister. You will never get away with this, that is a promise!” I told her furiously, ignoring Raphael’s gestures and signals. He is warning me to stay calm and I don’t know why. If he truly cares about her like he claims, then he should be furious with me. He is supposed to be telling and screaming at this woman and not trying to be smart and diplomatic with a fucking lunatic.“You see what I was telling you, Victoria. Can you see what he is doing to you?He doesn’t care if I hurt you or not, he is still talking even after I told him to keep his fucking mouth shut. He knows I will hurt you if he keeps talking, but that doesn’t stop him from talking because he wants me to hurt you; he wants to see you in pain. Is that the brother you want to leave me for?Is that the family you want to live with?” she asked my sister, pointing the camera
POV: Miguel“You should have said something if you knew he was here; why do you always love to see me at my weakest? Why do you love making me look stupid?” I asked him, glaring at him as we walked back to the car. He laughed at my anger, teasing and giggling like an idiot.“It’s fun to see that you are not as tough as you pretend to be. You may act all tough and dangerous, but that is just pretense.” He joked, laughing like an idiot. I refused to be called a fool; I refused to laugh along with him; I just walked faster and left him behind, leaving him to laugh as much as he desired. “Asshole!” I muttered under my breath as I walked away from him. I guess my tone and the way I banged the door is enough to tell him that I’m fucking pissed off at him. He walked faster to catch up with me, but I was already in the car before he got in. “What the hell is your problem, Miguel?One minute you are cool with me and the next minute you are acting like a complete douchebag!” he accused,
POV: RaphaelAt first, I wanted to be serious and hear what he had to say, but when I finally heard him talking about Victoria’s reaction when she saw us, I couldn’t help laughing at his childish thoughts. Like seriously?His sister, whom he claims to love so much, is currently in danger, and all he can think of is his childish cravings to keep his sister to himself. I can’t believe that he is jealous of her feelings for me. If only he knew that our relationship was just a contract. With the way he is being so jealous and possessive, I have to make sure he doesn’t find out that we are in a contract relationship. If he ever thinks that our relationship is not real, he could buy off her debt with ease and take her away from me. For the sake of our relationship and the feelings I have for her, nobody must find out the truth. They must not find out about our contract until I find the courage to tell her exactly how I feel about her. If she accepts my real proposal and agrees to be m
