Extra 9 - The Guilty Sun
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Is Otiz here?" As soon as she saw Ruby appear in the living room, Lori inquired.
"I already told you he wasn't. Do you want to see Otiz or something?" Ruby was confused.
Before coming over, Lori had already asked if Otiz was at the house. Ruby had said no and mentioned that Otiz hadn't even come to drop off AJ.
"Thank goodness." Lori immediately grabbed Ruby's hand, pulling her back into the bedroom and pushing her down onto the bed, telling her to rest.
"What is wrong with you?" Ruby, of course, resisted and sat up. Lori had already sat down on the edge of the bed and was covering her face.
Her body language clearly showed anxiety and stress.
"Are you okay? You look..."
Ruby wanted to say "terrible," but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. Lori was never disheveled. Her taste in dressing and grooming was like Liz’s. But now, the Lori in front of her was wearing something that resembled cartoon-printed pajamas and clear

Otiz tried to chew the food he had just ordered, hoping to taste something savory—or at least salty—but there was nothing. The sausage he bit into tasted no different from water. Bland but textured.“Ck!”Giving up, Otiz pushed the plate aside and grabbed a banana—easier to bite and chew.Otiz forced himself to eat because he needed it. His stomach was starting to hurt after nearly two days of just taking medicine without eating. His fever and cold had passed, but not his sense of taste. Everything still tasted bland. The banana was no different, with no sweetness at all. He just swallowed it without enthusiasm.Otiz lay back down on his bed, closing his eyes without changing his clothes. Because he had just returned from the doctor, he was still fully dressed.In addition to his taste not returning, his body was still weak, and Otiz blamed the group from Italy. It seemed like he had caught a foreign flu virus from the

This is worse than an eclipse—darker. Otiz couldn't force himself to make what he heard real. It was too sudden, too impossible.Otiz stood up but then sank back down, his head spinning. Maybe it was from illness, but more likely from shock."Are you sure you don't need to lie down? I can help." Ed was already standing, extending his hand.Otiz grabbed that hand, but not to accept the offer. He gripped it tightly.“Don Rosas… Did I make a mistake? Are you angry?” With wild eyes, Otiz inquired. He tried hard to think of any mistake he could have made before he got sick."Are you angry because I didn’t show up for days?" Otiz knew his illness had only lasted three days, but it was possible Ed was upset or felt inconvenienced.“Otiz, you were sick. Would it be right for me to be angry? Do I look angry?” Ed snorted, then sat beside Otiz, freeing his hand.“Oh!” Otiz immediately jolted

“You... and Otiz! All this time, have you two been...?” Lori trailed off, pointing at Otiz and Ed, who were still practically embracing each other on the floor.“Your mind is filthy! Can’t you see? Otiz is unconscious!” Ed snapped, then forcefully turned Otiz’s body to free himself.He hadn’t wanted to treat Otiz’s sick body harshly, but he didn’t want Lori’s wild thoughts spiraling out of control either.“Otiz? Otiz?!” Lori ran over to Otiz and shook him, eventually seeing his helpless condition.“What’s wrong with him? Is it serious? What did the doctor say?” Lori demanded an explanation.“You think I know?!”Lori was asking the wrong person. Of course, Ed didn’t know anything.“You never know anything! What if Otiz is seriously ill? Like Javier!” In panic, Lori slapped Otiz's body.“Don’t talk n

"Are you sure? Don't be rash in diagnosing!"Otiz opened his eyes, but the words he heard made him doubt if he had really opened them. That voice shouldn't be in his room.Otiz knew he was in his room. He was able to recognize things around him, so Lori couldn't be there.But when he turned, Otiz realized that what he had heard wasn’t part of a dream. Lori was really there, arguing with Dr. Bernal. Her presence wasn't unusual, since Ed was also in the room. It was clear who had contacted her."It's just a common flu. He fainted because he's weak!" While holding his bag, Bernal asserted himself.Lori still looked like she wanted to argue, but Bernal had already approached Ed, handed him some medicine and vitamins, and bid farewell."You need to take him to the hospital!" Lori finally protested to Ed."The doctor said it was unnecessary! Didn't you hear?" Ed retorted."But Otiz still hasn’t woken up! What if he's seri

"I... it's not just that. I want to apologize." Lori wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully without saying it."For what? My feelings? No need." Otiz shook his head. "My feelings are my own. You did nothing wrong, and...""That's not all!" Lori interrupted, noticing the change in Otiz's expression. An apology for his feelings should not be made, as it would only hurt him more."I want to apologize for being mad at you without reason... well, I mean... I shouldn’t have been upset when you told me the truth. I was just too blind to see it." Lori focused only on her own feelings."You're apologizing for?" Otiz didn’t understand."About... Javier. What you mentioned about Javier was something I was unaware of, and your accuracy was spot on. I shouldn’t have been angry when you were right."Otiz was stunned. He was amazed that Lori admitted it so easily. When they met before, Lori had shut her ears—trying her best to deny it

"Because I truly want you to be happy. That’s enough for me, Lori."Otiz had reached a point of complete acceptance. He no longer hoped for anything except Lori’s happiness, even as he bore the pain himself."I’ve seen you dim for so long, and now you're back. The sun I once knew is shining again. I smile because you’re happy," Otiz said, speaking honestly again."But you're not. You..." "But you're happy. That’s what matters to me." Otiz said it without hesitation.Lori seemed to sigh. She closed her eyes for a moment before speaking."Why do you always call me the sun?" Lori inquired, slightly distracted."You're always cheerful—laughing warmly and moving freely here and there. Touching you is difficult. Like the sun in the sky. It is both blazing and amazing, yet it remains beyond my reach."Otiz explained fluently that there was no need to hold back anymore. He was honest, because

"Just Ibanez? Where is Otiz?" AJ looked upset.Ed had just told him that from now on, Ibanez alone would be picking him up. Otiz was going to be replaced by Ibanez."Is Otiz really ill? Isn't he getting better? Like Abuela?"Tears welled up in AJ’s eyes. As far as AJ knew, Jade had passed away from illness, and now he thought Otiz wouldn’t come back for the same reason."No." While crouching in front of AJ, Ed gently patted his head. Ed had forgotten how close AJ was to Otiz when he casually mentioned it earlier. Now he realized he had to explain it better."Otiz is no longer working for me. So only Ibanez will be picking you up from now on," Ed said."You fired him?!" AJ was ready to get mad."Where did you learn that word?" Ed groaned, unsure of when or how AJ had picked it up."Why did you fire him?! You can't!" AJ grabbed Ed’s hand, crying even more."I didn’t just fire him, AJ. Otiz has his o

"What do you mean?" As the furrow of confusion on his forehead deepened, Otiz's eyes squinted, nearly closing."You must be well aware that working with me comes with the high risk of a short life, right? How many times have you gotten hurt for me? As far as I can recall, it’s happened twice. I'm not even counting the minor incidents. I don’t want you to be in danger all the time."Ed could only remember two major ones. When Pedro and Marco nearly killed him in the forest and the time in New York. Two situations that, if anything had gone wrong, could've easily cost him his life."But... that's my job. I’m here to protect you. I don’t feel forced or afraid. So…"Ed smiled and raised his hand. "I'm not accusing you of being afraid or anything like that. I just want to save you. And as for your 'duty,' I already told you yesterday; that doesn't apply anymore. You don’t have to die for me. And don’t say you’re

“Such chaos,” Liz lamented as she watched the crowd of rowdy children, who had become the main guests at her wedding.“Yeah, I didn’t expect it to get this wild either.” Ruby sat beside her, watching AJ hand out chocolate-covered strawberries to the other kids.He wasn’t alone—Claud, Val's second child, was helping him. They eventually grew close, even though their conversations were sometimes limited because Claud was more fluent in Italian than English. Still, they got along well enough.“How did it all start?” Ed frowned.“I don’t know.” Ruby was also unsure.“Maybe I shouldn’t have agreed when AJ asked.” Liz deeply regretted it.Somehow, AJ had convinced Liz to provide a chocolate fountain for her wedding, and it had become the source of chaos. The younger children were enjoying it, but soon chocolate stains appeared on the white tablecloths, as wel

"Do I have to? I already checked that document yesterday. Can’t you do it instead?" When Ed saw another email from Otiz, he complained.It was a financial report. Since Matteo had spread his investments in every direction—across more or less thirty companies—the financial reports Otiz received came from all directions, across different types of businesses. Ed hadn't anticipated this.Being an investor wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed. He still had to work.“You’re the one who has to check it. I’m just the middleman,” Otiz firmly refused.He could refuse because the request was made over the phone. Perhaps if they were face-to-face, Otiz would be more compliant. He was no longer blindly following Ed's orders, carefully sorting out what should and should not be done. He was only responsible for delivering financial reports, not reviewing them.Ed grumbled. He was quite used to reviewing company pa

"‘What do you want to show me?’ As she approached Ed, Ruby inquired.She left AJ's side; he was busy reading a story to his two younger siblings. Elena and Elisa sat quietly, either really listening or getting sleepy. It was already time for their afternoon nap."Read this," Ed shifted, making room for Ruby to sit beside him, and handed her a phone displaying an article in Spanish. Less than two hours had passed since the publication of this hot news story.Ruby didn’t pay attention to that, though, because she was immediately stunned by the headline.‘DEA ARRESTS MAJOR MEXICAN CARTEL AND EXPOSES BILLION-DOLLAR BUSINESS NETWORK’"What... you...?" Ruby turned pale and panicked, of course."Read it to the end," Ed said, pointing to the rest of the text that she had not yet seen.Ruby read quickly and frowned. There was no mention of Ed or Rosas anywhere. Only Reyes. Marco Reyes. He was the story's

Two black vans speed down a deserted road. It was already nighttime, and they were the only ones there. The end of the road was in sight—a black iron gate.“Ram it!”A shout rang out, and the vans didn’t slow down. The passengers inside, all dressed in black, held on tight as a deafening crash echoed.The gate fell, bent, but opened. The two vans barged through and stopped right in front of the brightly lit house.“Get in and kill everyone!”Another shout, and the people inside the vans scrambled out, storming into the beachside house. Some were carrying firearms; others were wielding clubs.However, as they entered, everyone froze. No one came to greet them. The house was supposed to be full of guards, which was why they had come in numbers—ready for a confrontation.In reality, what greeted them was silence. Not a single person appeared, even though the house was brightly lit.“

"AJ, don't make Abuela tired!" Ruby reprimanded AJ for running away with something, while Mia pursued him.But it was impossible to make AJ stop, especially since his younger siblings were laughing joyfully at his antics. Elisa and Elena had just learned to walk, and they happily followed him around.AJ couldn't stop when he had such an audience. Mia seemed to be scolding him, but everyone knew Mia could never really be upset at AJ.Ruby had to step in, followed by Ed to watch over Elisa and Elena. Although falling on the sand wouldn't hurt, the beach had sharp rocks that could scrape them."Mommy! They should chase me! Don't pick them up!" AJ didn’t want his little sisters to be carried away and stop the fun."Alright," Ruby said, intending to supervise them closely."How about we take a vacation?" Ed abruptly proposed the idea, having just finished reading a message on his phone."Hm?" Ruby was surprised. There had been no suc

"Here."Ed gave Otiz a handkerchief to wipe away his tears. If it had been just a few, he would have let Otiz cry—and wiped the tears with the sleeve of his jacket.The problem was that Otiz couldn’t stop crying. He had already been emotional when Ed stood beside him at the altar, and it got worse when he saw Lori walking down the aisle, escorted by flowers. It was all too beautiful and dazzling for his eyes.“Sorry,” Otiz stammered, wiping the remaining tears from his face.“What are you apologizing for? At a wedding, shedding tears is not considered inappropriate. You're just too happy. No one will blame you.” Ed gently patted Otiz’s shoulder and then turned his gaze forward.Of course, Lori was the focus of the event. Her choice of dress was perfect, blending seamlessly with the entire garden decor. Flowers, ribbons, music, and all the other elements were carefully and precisely chosen—now showcasi

Ed tapped his finger on the glass in his hand. His eyes were fixed on a single point—Marco Reyes.The man was speaking with Otiz. Nothing important. Marco was just making small talk, and Otiz was doing the same—being polite, answering Marco's questions about his law firm's progress. Ed actually needed to speak to both of them, but he chose to start with Marco first.Ed just needed to gesture with his chin, and Otiz understood immediately. He excused himself, making up a reason, and left Marco alone."I need to talk to you," Ed said as he approached."Oh? What is it?" Marco immediately followed Ed, moving to the quiet side yard. The other guests filled the living room."I want you to handle the shipment to Ecuador and Brazil next week."Marco looked as if he had choked. This was incredibly surprising. Ed had never let him touch the South American market before. Ed had always handled it himself. Marco had only been managing North A

"Mommy, I want to try! You be Elena, and I'll be Elisa."AJ reached out his hand, asking for the milk bottle from Ruby. He wanted to try feeding the babies—and he chose Elisa.Usually, Tita was around to help Ruby, but today Tita was busy, so Ruby had been on her own since earlier."You can, but please be careful, okay? Don’t let her choke, and don’t squeeze." Ruby guided AJ's hand to hold the bottle filled with pre-warmed breast milk, helping him apply just the right pressure so it wouldn't press too hard against Elisa's lips."Wow! Look, Mommy! She's drinking!" AJ exclaimed happily, eyes sparkling with joy. This was the first time he was directly involved—doing something for his little sister. AJ usually watched, but at first he was afraid to hold the babies. He would look in awe but wouldn’t dare touch them.“See? It’s not a big deal, right? You don’t have to be scared anymore.”&l

From their disheveled appearance, it was clear that Liz and Asher had either just rushed out of a room or possibly run over here. One thing was certain: as soon as they heard the news about Ruby, they had hurried over."Where? Ruby... You're pale. Why... It shouldn't be happening now."Just like Lori, Liz was out of breath as she approached Ruby, panicking. The news had shocked everyone. Liz had already planned to stay in Puerto Vallarta next week to be there for Ruby when she gave birth.Of course, Liz no longer lived at Ed’s house. She had managed to buy her own apartment.“I’m fine, and they’re fine too. But the nurse hasn’t brought them here yet. Calm down… breathe.”Ruby was already able to speak clearly and now had to calm Liz down. She was the one lying down, barely conscious, yet had to reassure everyone else."Are you really okay? No problems? Any complications?" Liz touched Ruby’s bo
