Just when she thought she had nothing else to do. Yulia glanced at Alessandro to see if he had an idea of how to get away from the situation.From that look in his eyes, she could tell that he was going to solve it with violence, so she looked away from him.“Are you backing away from the bet?” The same lady asked. “You said you were going to chop off your fingers; we don't see you doing it.”Yulia turned her head to glare at the woman. “I didn't say I wasn't going to do it, but you haven't won yet.”The ladies scowled at her, but before they could say any more words, The sound of running footsteps was heard, and everyone's head snapped in the direction to find Elia running towards them.Elia came sprinting towards her and fell on her feet. “Sister! I was wrong; I should have never lied to everyone that I was the legitimate daughter.” Tears trickled down her face as he pleaded. “I was only being childish; I have made your life miserable since we were kids. I was jealous of you because
Her left hand flew to her lips in surprise. “What do you mean the cat is dead? That was the only woman who didn't like you.”“You think so?” Alexander inquired, raising a brow at her. “She let me rub her this morning.”Yulia frowned at him. “I thought that you said that she was dead.”His lips curled upward, forming a mischievous smirk. “Well, she isn't dead.”She swung her left arm, the impact landing squarely on his chest. He giggled as her hand collided with his chest.“How could you lie to me?" She demanded, relief washing through her, that her cat was safe.“I was only joking with you.” He muttered before bending over and scooping her into his arms. “Let's go home. I want you to help me with something.”“I just came to work.” She grumbled. “I haven't done anything.”He peered at her. “Yeah, well, I heard you fired Y.”Pouting, she replied. “He is always giving information about me to you. I am sure that he told you that I got him fired too.”He glanced at her instead of replying.
Her eyes darted, and she waved her head, refusing to believe what he said. “My mother was long dead; are you sure it is her?”She had been told that her mother was dead and that her family had done a funeral for her. She doubted that Alexander saw the real person.Alexander pinched the bridge in between his noses. He was sure of what he was saying, although it sounded sudden. In the morning, after he had woken up, he got a call from one of the ladies from the mafia.After going back to the base to meet them and having a meeting, He finally concluded that the woman in the picture of one of the ladies Jake had kidnapped looked familiar. Then it dawned on him that it was Yulia's mother.“It’s her. You have her green eyes and her hair. I can't say much about the behavior though.”“I didn't ask for a behavior. How can you know that without just looking at a picture?” Sadness flashed in her green eyes. “I don't even know what my mother looks like since she disappeared when I was six. But I
It was almost time for them to visit Jake's home. Yulia had already changed into all-dark outfits; she was just putting on a wig and a lense to change her appearance.She reached out to take the smartwatch that was lying on the table. She was just putting it on when her bedroom door opened, and Alexander walked in.Her head snapped in his direction; he was already changed. His hands were pocketed, and he looked different than he used to.She drank at every sight of him; he looked so hot in red hair. The shirt sleeve was folded, and they showcased that tattoo that was on his arm.“Are you done drooling?” He demanded as he walked to where she was and took the smartwatch from her. “Since you got back your mother's properties, you haven't."Knowing what he was talking about, she pouted. “Well, we have a lot to do, don't we?”He helped her wear the smart watch on her wrist; his gaze lingered on the wristwatch more than necessary.“Are you sure Nelson's inventions work?” Alexander crooked h
“Here we are." Alessandro parked the car under a tree, turning off the engine. “We are just in time; the lights are still on.”Alexander grabbed the front seat and held the binoculars in his eyes. He glanced at the building; the lights were on, just like Alessandro said. The curtains were drawn, and it was sure that Jake's mother was still indoors.According to Yulia's research, she always left the house in her old truck and headed for a place where they had no idea where it was.“We're thirty minutes early," Yulia murmured, glancing at her watch. "We need to get in before she notices us.”Alexander pulled the binoculars from his eyes and handed them to Yulia, who looked at the building through them.“What do you think she is doing?" Alexander inquired, his eyes scanning the building.“Probably getting ready to leave. Let's go in now.” Yulia replied.She handed the binoculars to Alessandro. Alexander took the cameras that he had gotten from Nelson. He handed all of it to Yulia, who du
Hesitating for a while, the woman sat down and picked up the identification card. She studied the card before raising her head to look at Solia."So you weren't sent by my son?”She shook her head. “ "No, but I need your help to find him. He's involved in some serious trouble.”The woman's gaze relaxed, and she threw back the ID to Solia. “I am aware.”"Could you share some information about your son?”The woman dropped the knife that she was holding and walked over to where Solia was standing. She was just about to let Yulia out but paused as the woman approached her.She wondered what was on the woman's mind. With the way the woman walked, she could guess that the plan that the woman had for her wasn't nice. However, she was at full alert.Placing her hand on her waist, she held onto the edge of a knife that she held with her. The woman wouldn't be able to see the knife due to the direction.Solia hated the talking job, but Yulia was good at it. She wanted to beat the woman to the pu
“We found her!” He snaps at the person at the other end of the phone. “But she is already dead.”Several sheriff's were gathered around the building. The house was already taped with the word crime scene. The buzzing of phones could be heard, followed by the sound of the siren of the ambulance.They had searched the environment and still haven't found anything that could give the leads about the attack on the house.“How is she dead?” The person at the other end demanded. “How could someone else find her before you did?”Ryker ran his hand through his hair. “I have no idea. The window was shattered, and baseball bats were set in every corner of the house. I think she was ambushed and killed, but that attacker is dead.”“How many dead bodies were found?"“About ten.”“Are there any cameras around?"“Yes.”“Did you find anything?”“No.”“How is that possible?”Ryker's gaze trailed to the camera that was already broken. “Broken cameras and empty memory. It seems that someone destroyed th
Alexander rang the doorbell of the house, his gaze scanning the place. Alessandro stood next to him with his hand in his pocket.After a long ride, they finally ended up at the last girl's home. None of the ladies that had gone told them anything about Jake. They only claimed that they had already broken their relationships and knew nothing about his whereabouts.He hoped that Jake's last ex was still going to know something about him. The girl was a college student and lived in a dorm. From Yulia's research, she shared a room with three more females.Alexander rang the doorbell again after waiting for fifteen minutes and hearing nothing. They had managed to sneak into the dorm without anyone seeing them. Now Alexander regretted the fact that he hadn't climbed up their window instead, and it was all his brother's fault.“You should respect ladies' privacy, and if you want them to tell us about Jake, You have to be nice to them.” Those were the stupid words that his brother had said to
