"Sir!"

Adam's voice cut through the air, drawing Alex's attention away from his thoughts. Alex turned to face Adam, his expression expectant as he noticed the paper in Adam's hands.

"What happened, Adam?" Alex inquired, his tone tinged with curiosity and a hint of concern.

"Sir, it's about the call. It was actually from Texas," Adam explained, his words causing Alex's brow to furrow in confusion.

"Texas?" Alex repeated, his mind racing with possibilities as he tried to make sense of the new inf

  • His Deadly Obsession   Where is her father?

    “Oh, I see . . .” Francisco said, then added, “Then tell me more about you and your sister...”Mia smiled slightly and was about to tell him, but suddenly, she heard...“Mom . . .” It was Helena.“Helena . . .” Mia called out.Francisco was sitting near the stairs when Helena came down behind him. Hearing her footsteps, he slowly turned around and spotted her holding a panda in her hand. Her blue eyes met his, and he fell silent, simply staring at her. After a moment, he slowly rose from his seat.Francisco didn’t say a word. He just kept looking at her. Then he slowly got up from his seat.Helena’s eyes were on him as well.Suddenly, Ella came over and held Helena. She seemed a bit nervous as she stammered, “Baby, why did you come down?”“I called you so many times, but you didn’t hear me,” Helena answered.Ella quickly said, “Okay . . . Let’s go upstairs.”She took Helena upstairs, and as they walked, Helena asked, “Mom, who is that man?”“Just a guest. You don’t need to know, dear,

  • His Deadly Obsession   Boyfriend?

    Mia was too nervous about what to say. Still, she faked a smile and uttered, “Thank you for all the bouquets.”“But what happened?”Francisco slowly smirked and replied in a relaxed tone, “What if I say I got something so important here?”Mia became confused. “Important?”Francisco touched her palm and added, “Relax, I’ll tell you soon.”“But I think your sister doesn’t like the bouquet,” Francisco then turned to Ella and asked in a clear tone.Ella’s face was stern. She was just looking at him and Mia.Mia smiled and said in a happy tone, “No, my sister likes flowers a lot.”“But not gerberas, I guess,” Francisco said in a calm tone.Ella’s face was still stern as she replied, “Mr., it’s not that.”“So, you like gerberas?” Francisco asked immediately.“They’re beautiful. There’s no wonder for disliking them. But I think this is exaggerating,” Ella answered.Francisco arched his brows with a smile, then replied, “She . . .” He looked at Mia. “ . . .is very important to me.”Mia blinke

  • His Deadly Obsession   The bouquet

    The next morning, someone rang the doorbell of Mia’s house. It was still very early. Ella was preparing breakfast, while Mia had just come downstairs and walked toward the door to open it.As she opened the door, she was surprised to see a large bouquet in front of her. A delivery man was standing there, holding the flower bouquet.Mia slowly turned back and said, “Yes?”“Is this 3A Block, House 21?” the delivery man asked.Mia nodded slightly.“Mia, whose is it?” Ella asked from behind.Mia replied, “Wait a minute.”She looked at the delivery man and asked, “What is it?”“I have to deliver all of these here.”Before Mia could ask anything else, he handed the bouquet to her. Then, after a second, he and another boy began carrying the other bouquets inside the house.Mia became puzzled as she watched them.“Who sent them?” she asked.The man turned back and replied before leaving, “Everything has been written on the note.”Mia looked at the middle of the bouquet. There, tucked between

  • His Deadly Obsession   He left

    Mia came back to her room after mopping the floor downstairs. As she quietly opened the door, she found Francisco sitting on the edge of her bed, the towel still resting loosely in his hands. She closed the door gently behind her and glanced around the room.The floor was damp from the rainwater he'd tracked in, but she couldn't bring herself to complain. She was the one who invited him.Taking a quiet breath, she walked over to him.For a moment, she hesitated before reaching for the towel. Finally, she took it from his hands."You're going to catch a cold," she said softly."You should dry yourself."Slowly, she raised the towel. Although her hands trembled with nervousness, she gathered the courage to make the first move. She gently began drying his wet hair.Her heart pounded so hard it felt as though it might burst from her chest.Francisco closed his eyes. After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice low and distant."The people I love... always leave me alone."Mia gave hi

  • His Deadly Obsession    Why is he doing this?

    “I told you she’s Hazel.” Francisco's voice was firm, almost desperate. “Now do you believe me?”“I...”“I’m not wrong.” Francisco slammed his palm against the table, making the glasses rattle. His eyes burned with certainty. Max heard him but didn't say a word."Max, she's Hazel..." Francisco said in a low voice as he gripped Max's shoulder.Max took a deep breath before finally replying, "Francisco, calm down.""I—""What?" Francisco interrupted.Max took a moment, looking at Francisco. "I mean... I don't think she's Hazel."Francisco narrowed his eyes as he heard Max."What the fuck are you saying, dude?" He was calm, but all of a sudden, he raised his voice. "She's Hazel.""Oh, come on, Francisco." Max matched his energy. He stepped toward Francisco as Francisco tried to disregard him."You've become so obsessed with her, and it's been so long. She's gone. She's no longer here. Try to accept it."Max's words started hitting Francisco's mind like a hammer.Unable to control his rag

  • His Deadly Obsession   I think I saw Hazel

    The moment the injured man’s friends rushed toward Francisco, the entire atmosphere of the bar changed.One of them swung a punch directly at his face.Francisco tilted his head slightly, avoiding it with ease. Before the man could react again, Francisco grabbed his collar and drove his knee hard into his stomach. The man choked in pain and collapsed onto the floor.Another came from the side with a bottle in his hand. Francisco caught his wrist midway, twisted it sharply until a crack echoed through the air, then snatched the bottle and smashed it against the man’s shoulder. Glass scattered across the floor as the man screamed.Panic spread instantly.Customers hurried away from their seats, chairs scraping loudly against the wooden floor. Some rushed toward the exit while others stood frozen in fear.The sound of shattering wood and glass filled the bar.One man grabbed a broken bottle and lunged at him recklessly.Francisco’s eyes darkened.He seized the man’s wrist, forced the sha

    The elevator door swung open, and Francisco sprinted out, brandishing his gun. His urgency was palpable as he halted in front of the door to Hazel's apartment. Without a moment's hesitation, he aimed at the knob and fired, the gunshot echoing through the corridor. With a forceful kick, he flung the
