I was simply in my office, going through the file of previous investments and the one Jackson proposed for the future. My phone rang, and after checking the ID, I was surprised to see Veronica calling; we had only been on the phone for a short time. Perhaps she's already missing me
"Hello," I said after answering the phone.
"Cynthia, you need to come here right away; I have something to tell you." After I agreed to meet her soon, she said goodbye and hung up the phone.
I'm curious what happened to Veronica; she appears to be upset; what could be the problem? I thought as much before picking up my car key. I hope everything is fine with her though I am already worried.
"Alex report to Jackson's office, I will take my leave for a while," I said and took my jacket and left for my car.
In a situation like this, I always get nervous and prefer to drive myself. Others won't put a lot of speed the way I want it to.
I got into the
When we got closer to his mansion, we saw cars coming out of the gate. "He should be on his way to the party already," Veronica said."How do we get inside now without raising an alarm from this security outside?" I asked."There is an underground at the back that is used for urgent alerts, which can be used to escape in case something happens. And since no one knows about it, I am sure there won't be any guard surrounding the place." Mr Jay said."This is perfect, let me park the car at the back. So we can get in." I said. I made sure I hid the car under the tree that was across.We got down with our backpack on our back and Mr jay led us through the underground. It was so dark that we could not see even a thing from the inside as there was no hole to bring out the light.After we got into the house, Veronica started checking for the location. And was directing us. We stopped right at the corne
SalvadorAfter they kidnapped the old jerk, I made certain he was held captive in an unexpected location. Allow him to be dumped inside for a while. Until that girl either return my drug or gives me money.I had nothing left because I had sold everything to repay the loan. Only my secret account is left, which I don't want to touch for the time being; let's see how this ends first.After the meeting, I returned to my office and was preoccupied with how to simply finish that girl who dared to come within me and my properties. Cynthia already had a death wish, so I'm only going to leave her for a few days until she returns my drugsDaniel entered the office and informed me of the Gala night that will take place today. I'm not going to embarrass myself. I had to be there to save my life; after all, even without the money, I'm a billionaire.No one will ever be able to compete with me because I am already so far ahead.For me, getting horny has
Flashback Three days priorAt midnight, I couldn't sleep because my mind was so preoccupied with what was going to happen. I kept tossing on the bed until a phone call jolted me out of my reverie."How are you, did you find him?" I requested that I pick up Santos' phone call right away."Calm down, babe, we just got him out, and we're on our way to the hospital; he passed out immediately after we rescued him because of the shock." He stated."Just give me the address and I'll be right there," I said."Don't worry, babe, it's already past 2 a.m., you should wait until daybreak," he suggested, but I insisted, "it will be dangerous." He added"I can handle that; just send me the address," I said as I hung up the phone.The message had already beeped by the time I got dressed. After getting dressed, I grabbed my phone and car key and dashed o
Six years laterLove is the condition in which another person's happiness is essential to your own, and in the end, the love you take equals the love you make. It is when the happiness of another person is more important than your own because they mean a lot to you, and in the end, the love you take equals the love you make.Since it was the weekend, I was busy doing something in the room while Santos worked in his system. When the twins, Aiden and Juliet, called out to me, "Mummy, what is this use for?" And when I turned around, I saw the twins holding a gun.I yelled, "Aiden, drop it!" "It's in our Aunty's textbook, Mummy," Juliet stated. And I put down the file I was working on and turn to face the twins. "A gun is used to protect ourselves, but it can also be used to kill someone," I explained to the four-year-old twins."Wow, mummy, I'd like to use it one d
As I was getting ready for school, I heard my father summon me downstairs for breakfast. I hastily put on my backpack. "I'm coming," I yell, checking myself in the standing mirror.My name is Cynthia De'Lacruz, and I'm in my last year of kindergarten, so you can guess my age; I'm only five years old, and I'm also my father's baby girl; he raised me alone since he said my mother is far away and will never see her again; I knew she was late, but my father never told me that.My father, Lucas De'Lacruz, works in the mafia and always hides his business from me to protect me, but I knew and pretend I don't because he thought I was just a small girl.I lace my shoes and proceed down the stairs to find my father waiting for me in the dining room. As soon as he sees me, a smile appears on his face, and he stands up, kisses my cheeks, and motions for me to take a seat."Here, princess, you should eat quickly so that you don't be late for school." He murmured this
I groaned and awoke at an ungodly hour to the chirping of Mexico street crickets. The early morning sun shone brightly on my face, and I couldn't help but sit up and gather my wits.I've been sleeping on the streets and wandering around for the past 14 years, ever since my father was brutally murdered in front of my eyes. It was a heartbreaking experience that has stayed with me, and I vowed to avenge my father's brutal death in the most painful way possible ever since the day I was able to flee.I don't have any reason to shoot you, little girl. "You must flee right now," he said. "Do you have a way to follow?" I couldn't help but nod vigorously when he asked. "Now, get up and run until you can't anymore, and make sure no one sees you while you follow the back door, okay?" He whispers something into my ear.I gave my father one last look before fleeing through the back door, my heart racing wildly, and I immediately sma
It was the best thing I could have done to disappear from that asshole six years ago; I couldn't bear his torture any longer and needed to find a way out. It was fantastic to have learned so much from Andrew Corona.I couldn't be self-sufficient today. I was able to survive thanks to the old man I had been living with for the past six years. He was like a father to me again since the first day we met, and I will be eternally grateful to him for never questioning my business.The cottage I shared with the old man wasn't much more than a room, but it was adequate for me to rest until daybreak and go about my daily business.The first cricket chirping woke me up, but my ass was still too lazy to get out of bed. I suddenly remembered a transaction with my new client. I had been warned not to be late. "Ahhh," I groaned as I stood up abruptly.I dashed into the bathroom, took a quick shower, dressed quickly, and
After 17 years,"I believe I'm running low on supplies; what should I do, old man?""Follow that woman who came here a few years ago," he said matter-of-factly."What? That is not what I asked for; I cannot be under anyone else's control again. I've been fighting for myself, and I'm still alive. So why should I follow her old man?""Come, come and sit here," he tapped, and she walked over and sat next to him."In this life, we don't always get what we want right away. We have to struggle or fight for it. I'm not trying to evict you from here, Cynthia, but it'd be selfish of me to keep you to myself while you're on a mission."What are you trying to say, old man?" I was perplexed."You must awaken from your slumber. This would be the start of the real game. "Do you want to avenge your father's death?" He inquired, and I quickly nodded."Tho
