DavidMickael turns white. Never in my life had I seen Mickael so shaking and afraid.- Dad, I never…- You are my son, and for 26 years, you wore my pride, and you pay me back by stealing from me? - Simon screams.- Dad, I swear...- Dad, I never, dad, I swear, you must think I'm an idiot. I saw the books. It was a masterful work. A cent here, a cent there, almost imperceptible. But that represents hundreds of dollars a day. You stole millions from me; you've been doing it for years. - Father, it wasn't me. The accountant handles the books.- Even if that were true, you are the leader, the responsible one.- Father?- Don't call me father. Do you think I will show compassion because you are my son? I told you a long time ago that here, in business, you are no more or less than the others.I don't know if this is another test from my father, but I enjoy seeing Mickael shrink with fear.Mickael panics. He pulls out the gun and points it at my father.Everyone present murmured and look
DavidMy work got drastically complicated. From now on, I will always have a bodyguard on my trail. My father will know all the things I do or think about doing.Forgetting the mission, I still have to sort out what happened yesterday in my head.I killed Michael. God, I killed my brother. Even though he was a son of a bitch, he had no other chance in his life, raised from such a young age by that man. I'm not like him because my mother protected me. My hands still shake if Sousa saw me now.Fatigue overcame me, and I slept all night, but I was more tired than before I went to sleep, with all the nightmares that tormented me.I need time to organize myself. I need to talk to Sarah.I'm going to throw everything on a bet without revealing everything. My bosses must hate my new plan… if they find out, but if I want results and save Sarah simultaneously, I must get her on my side or be discovered trying.After I have completed all my morning rituals, I go downstairs and sit at the tabl
DavidWhen I entered Sarah's office, she was getting ready to leave.- You arrived just in time.I look at her and can't help but look at the place where my father hit her. Aware of what I was doing, she put her palm on her hand.- How…Her eyes tell me to shut up, and I obey. - Let's go. The car is waiting for us. Where are your men?- I bet they're down there. I told them to stay home, but they followed me to Malibu. I'm going to take advantage of the fact that my father said that I could choose who men so that I can have someone who obeys me.- You sound like a real Campbell talking. – she says with a sad smile.I say nothing. All my concentration was on controlling myself and keeping away from her.Everything about her pulled me towards her. I was nothing more than a grain of iron, and she was a powerful magnet.- Stop looking at me like that. – she says, feeling her legs shaking.- Shall we go? I want to start this new life as soon as possible.With a sigh, Sarah left the office
rahI told him everything.The weight on my chest was so great that I didn't even fight to keep the secret.I told him about the contract, the nights I spent sharing the bed with him, with Mickael, and everything.- You don't know how much I thank you for killing Mickael. I know this must be horrible, killing your brother. And you had never taken anyone's life before.He looks at me with so much love that my hands can't stop shaking.- I ask again. Don't you want to leave this life? This life as a gang leader. Do you really like this? Of dark business. Deaths.- I hate this. Everyone respects me because, in ten years, I learned to survive, but I hate this life. If it weren't for Simon marrying me to make my life a bigger hell, I'd be grateful for this marriage because it's going to take me out of this life.- You won't have a better life by my father's side.- Tell me something I don't know.- Look at the other women who passed through his life.-I know. The only woman he considers hi
Sarah- Simon, what do you want me to do? David is here. - Show him how you manage the territory. You don't have to worry too much. He will only stay there for a week. Then he comes to work with me. Can you take him to your house, dear? This way, he accompanies you in the company and beyond. I hope he already knows something about business when it comes into my hands. - I'll do my best, but... - But what? Why do you always have to challenge me? - Forgive Simon, but people will start talking if I walk everywhere with your son. - let them talk. Do what I tell you. In a week, everything will be different. He disconnects the call, and I turn the jammer back on. - For a week, you stay with me and follow me everywhere. - Don't you happen to have a device like that in your house? - Yes, but if Simon listens to me, how will I justify it? - Simple. You say you did it because we are talking about business. and you don't know if anyone is listening. - Simple. – I shake my head. - Dav
DavidWe slept together the first night at her house. The door is locked, and the jammer is working.The following day, we ate, and I did what Simon had ordered. We went to the company in the morning and in the afternoon, I met some of the men who worked under her orders.Luckily for me, some of the secrets started to come out, but I didn't want Sarah's business. I wanted Simon; I would have to be as much like Mickael as possible.We pretended we didn't know he was alive and tried to find out why they faked his death.That afternoon, before going to Sarah's house, I went to Beverly Hills and entered my father's mansion. He still wasn't home, and there were no traces of Mickael.I went into my room and closed the door. I turned on the jammer and entered the hiding place. Everything was the same, but I didn't want to take the risk, so I hid the receiver in the only place he would ever look: my father's room.I packed a suitcase, and my father came in when I got ready to leave the hous
DavidSeven days passed in the blink of an eye, and my relationship with Sarah had never been so strong. She did exactly as Simon ordered, and I tagged along on the new DeLuca strongman's latest weapons purchase.I don't know if my father was forming an army or renegotiating weapons in some third-world country, but Sarah bought him the new XM250 coupled with an advanced optical system, the XM157.I don't know what level of crime this was. I hadn't even seen these weapons up close before.I saw where the warehouse was, but I never knew how they got from there to their destination.One thing I was sure of: Orange was the capital of arms trafficking, and that was Sarah's specialty, although other business took place here. She watched the books and her men like a hawk, and none even thought about robbing or betraying this tiny woman.Despite being the result of my father's hostility, knowing her so strong and powerful excited me. Each of the seven nights we spent locked in her room could
David- And the goods arrive at the coast in tow from the Navy... - says my father. - It may work, but only once or twice if spaced out.- But that would bring the next shipment. And the father could make that shipment worth several ones.Simon's smile is genuine.- That can be arranged… and it can work. It's so stupid and unprofessional it could actually work.He starts laughing.- Boy, you might be less stupid than I thought. I handle business with the Columbians. You take care of the boat. - Do we have any boats?- Yes. One of my men accompanied you there. Do you know how to drive a boat? - There are also boats in Europe, you know?- What do you need to do this?- I need three or four men to take care of the merchandise. They have to look like someone my age who could be at a party with me. I need some girls, too, to look like a rich party.- The next pickup was scheduled for 3 am. I'll give you the coordinates.- Can't you do it sooner? Like 9 hours.- I can, but it's not too vi
