One Million Reais Chapter 18
Louisa's p.o.v;"Are you sure about this?" Mateo, one of Ace's closest bodyguards, asked me when I got into the car along with my bag of clothes. "Yes." "I hope you don't regret this." The car started. While we're on the way to Ace's house, I looked outside thinking about the rich guy I saw that day. How would I find him just by his face? It would be better if I had known his name by that time but they didn't talk much. I wonder how I'm going to find him in this big city with only remembering his face.After thirty minutes of travelling in the car, we reached Ace residence. I got out of the car with my bag and walked inside the house. Ace was standing near the door saying, "I didn't expect you to be here when you said you're coming. I thought you were lying."I walk past him into the house. He grabbed my hand and said, "Don't ignore me while I speak. I hate people when they're not paying attention.""Then hate all you want. I didn't come here to earn your love or something." And w

Louisa's p.o.v;I woke up from my sleep because of the bright light from the outside through the window. When did I go to sleep last night? I got up from the bed and saw the two Bodyguards sleeping, one on the couch and the other on the floor. I took the blankets and covered them and walked out of the room. I walked to Ace's room to ask him about Antonio but he wasn't there in his room. "Are you looking for Ace?" When I turned, I saw Diego. I nodded at him.He said, "He's in the hospital.""How's Antonio?""He's okay. The doctors said that he didn't shoot his important organs so he's alright.""Didn't Ace come back from the hospital?""No, he didn't."I can't believe he stayed overnight for one of his bodyguards. I could understand why Edgar came forward and confessed to him. "I want to see Antonio. Take me to the hospital.""I can't.""Why?""Ace asked me to drop you at your college. Get ready, I'll wait for you at the entrance." And he walked away. I forgot that it's Monday toda

Louisa's p.o.v;After walking out of the hospital filled with guilt, I headed to the casino hoping to see that rich guy by chance. At the illegal casino, When I walked down the alley, it was different than before. There were more people than that day making it difficult for me to keep my disguise. I pulled up the hoodie a bit forward on my face and walked looking down. When the casino was in sight, I spotted guards on the door. They were never there before. How will I get into the casino now? I stopped some few steps away from the casino and looked at it thinking about a way to get in. I thought they'd move away for a moment but they didn't move even after the clock striked 7pm. When will they move away from here? Someone tapped on my shoulder, when I turned with fear, I saw Nicolas which made my heart beat again."Why did you scare me like that?"Nicolas folded his hands and asked, "Did you come here for that friend of yours?""Of all people, why would I get caught by you?""I tol

Louisa's p.o.v;At college,I placed the books on the librarian's desk and asked her, "Do you know who kept these books in the literature section?" "Why? What's wrong?""These books were supposed to be in the philosophy section but I found it in the literature while I was arranging the new books.""Then rearrange it.""I didn't get the answer why these books were in the wrong section yet." "Maybe Laura misplaced it. She's new and learning so let it go. And, help her with the nonfiction section too, she was struggling when i saw her. Before that, Get these books to the philosophy section.""Where's this Laura you're talking about? Why couldn't I see her around?""She works on alternate days unlike you. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday." I nodded and took the books from the librarian table and walked out of her cabin to arrange the books in the philosophy section where it was supposed to be in the first place. After I'm done with my work, I came to pick up the books from the table. I s

Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up in Ace's room, it was only me who was laying on the bed, and the room was empty too. I tied up my hair high and stepped out of the room to encounter Mateo who was talking with some Bodyguards. Seeing me walking out of Ace's room, he said, "Ace asked you to take off from college and stay at the house for a while.""Why?" I asked while walking to my room.He said while following after me, "To your safety, ofcourse."I looked around the house and asked, "Then where is he?""He went to deal with some business."I stopped from walking further and told him, "The only person who needs safety is him. Not me. I'm not someone who's the next in line leader." And headed to my room to get ready for college. When I came out of the house, Mateo stopped the car in front of me and said, "Get in. I'll drop you at college."I got in and remained silent. While he was driving me to the college, I got a call from Bernie. I answered, "Hello?""Louisa, where are you?""I'm o

Louisa's p.o.v;I came to the room, slammed the door behind and sat on the bed thinking, 'What am I going to do now? The man I was looking for is dead now. Who has the red stone now? Who should I ask for it? Whom should I go after to get it?' Number of questions raised inside my head gave me a little headache.I heard knocks on the door. Ignored and thought about the red stone's whereabouts.The door was opened and Ace walked in while asking, "What did you do behind me? How did you know that guy? And, what were you blabbering about the red stone?"I let out a sigh and asked, "Do you know why Paulo, the Pandora gang leader, kidnapped me?"He shook his head and said, "I thought he was using you to get to me. But he wasn't when I got a call from Edgar instead of Paulo." "The night when you took Bernie and me as a hostage, I saw the guy's face who stole the bag from the hostess to whom Bernie gave the stone that night. Paulo knows, that's why he kidnapped me to get him through me. I lied

Louisa's p.o.v;At college,I waved at Diego who just finished the race against his club members, came as a third in position.He waved back and walked to me and asked, "I thought you would forget and ditch me, Lou.""To be honest, I almost did." And I smiled at him and continued, "Bernie made me remember the promise I made to you."He patted my head and said, "And, I wouldn't have spoken with you till the end of the year. You should thank Bernardo for this.""Ehhhh… so demanding. By the way, you said that you invited your boyfriend, Where's he? Let me have a proper look at him this time. I didn't look at him properly since I was in a hurry last time."He remained silent."What is it? Didn't he come see you. Poor guy." I held his hand and said, "Your friend is here though. Cheer up!" "He came.""Then why the long face? Shouldn't you be happy right now? Where's he?" I nudged him while taking a look around the stadium. "He came with his girlfriend." He said while pointing at a couple

Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up from my sleep, I realised that I was in my apartment. How did I get here? My clothes were changed. Wasn't I in a car with Ace? Did he change my clothes? I got up from the bed and saw Ace walking into my room. "What are you doing?" I inquired.He placed the vessel he was holding on the nearby table and said, "I got hot water for you.""Hot water? I meant, what are you doing here? At my place?""I thought I'll drop you at your place and head to mine but you were asleep and didn't wake up. So when I tried to lift you up, you were burning… the point is you have a fever." He placed some tablets on the table saying, "I bought medicines nearby for your fever. And for the hot water…"Before he finished, I asked, "Didn't Bernie ask you anything?""He wasn't here when we came here.""How did you open the door?" "I found the key in your coat." "Since I'm awake now, leave my apartment." "I'll leave after giving you a sponge bath. You're still burning.""What!? W

Raphael and Elisa went to make calls to the cops who weren't in the police station while Eduardo and I got lectures from him. After a lecture, The chief said to Eduardo, "Call someone to clean up this mess."After Eduardo left, he turned towards me and said, "I heard about the casino issue. Don't make another mistake or it'll be the reason for your suspension.""I'm sorry for my actions, Sir. it won't happen again."After some time, everyone came back except for one person, Gabriel since he was out of town to meet his parents.

One Million Reais Chapter 53
Louisa's p.o.v;I came to investigate a missing person named Levi Ackerman. He is from this town, but doesn’t live there as he does in the city and was last spotted here near where his house should be. The police had found him two days ago when a neighbour reported seeing him on a road at night. We were alerted about his disappearance due to the fact that the victim' father has been having an affair with one of the women. It was discovered that she had been murdered shortly after by a man. When i did an investigation about the woman, i came to know that she's the woman i saw yesterday being dead and got stabbed a number of times. I didn't have enough time to investigate further because I just had another case. But the more information I gathered, the more convinced I became that something strange is going on here. It seems like people are disappearing all around us. I got a call from Raphael that there's a murder in 4th square. When I got there, the crime scene investigators didn'

Louisa's p.o.v;After a week, Ace dropped me in front of my house and said, "All the best."I smiled at him and said, "Yeah." Then I started walking to my door. While I was getting things ready for tomorrow, I heard knocks on the door. 'Didn't he leave already?' I thought as I opened the door. I saw Raphael standing in front of me. When did he come? Did he see Ace dropping me and leaving? But before I could ask what he was doing there, he walked in while asking, "I thought you'd come tomorrow." He still thinks that I went to see my parents. Let it go with the flow then."How did you know I returned anyway?""I was driving past your street and saw you getting out of the car so I drove here?"So, he only saw me. I let out a sigh of relief."Oh right!" He exclaimed. "The thing is, I was here to ask how things went with your parents." Well, if he wants to know how things went so bad then I'll tell him…"They're good! We had breakfast, lunch and dinner together.""Eating is all you did f
One Million Reais Chapter 51
Louisa's p.o.v;While I was eating the breakfast brought by Ace, I looked up from my food and caught his eyes. His stare was intense, he almost seemed to be studying every single feature on my face."What's wrong?" I asked.He shook his head, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Nothing. Just wondering what you're doing today." He said nonchalantly.I stared into his deep brown eyes for several moments, taking in his features before replying."Me? Nothing really, I couldn't come up with anything since I'm being kidnapped here." I deadpanned, giving him an unamused look.Ace laughed lightly but didn't answer right away. Instead, he just continued staring at me. After a few moments, though, he finally spoke again. "Well I can't go anywhere because it's Sunday so maybe we could go do something together.""Together?" My eyebrows shot up and I raised an eyebrow of my own, "Like..." I trailed off, searching for a word. The corners of Ace's mouth turned up slightly, "Yeah." He replied simply

Louisa's p.o.v;I woke up at someone else's house. How did I end up here? I looked around and noticed I was in a small bedroom and the door was closed. I got out of bed as carefully and quietly as possible. The floor was cold against my bare feet and it made me shiver slightly. I remembered what happened last night. The images from last night flashed in my head where Ace stabbed Paulo in front of my eyes causing his blood to splatter on my face which made me disgusted. It was exactly like how I had dreamed but the difference was someone died and not me like in my nightmares. I ran to the bathroom and barfed into the sink. I gargled and washed my mouth and walked out of the bathroom once I'm done.I saw Ace placing a tray of food and looked like he was about to leave. I asked, "Why did you bring me here? Who's house is this?" "This is my house. You can be safe here." "I won't be safe if I'm near you." When I tried to walk out of the room, Ace stopped me by gripping my hand which w

AFTER THREE MONTHS,Louisa's p.o.v;I was woken up to the morning light on my face. I rolled over onto my back to watch it creep across the room. The sunlight crept in from my window, and I stared up at the ceiling. My phone was still buzzing next to me, but the noise did nothing more than wake me even more so. I sighed and turned to look at my alarm clock. 6:48 AM.Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes. I had been having a nightmare; one where someone was attacking me for no reason, only to turn out to be myself or a guy wearing a mask. And now I’m wide awake, and I can’t remember what exactly had happened, nor why I’d had that dream in the first place. All I could recall was being chased down the street, and screaming, “You’re mine!” at anyone who got in my way, which was pretty much everybody, I supposed. What's with the nightmares these days? Is it because of watching horror movies before going to sleep? But I thought it was just a myth.I mean, there are sto

Louisa's p.o.v;After Ace got out, I took him and headed home. While we're in the car, I held his hand and leaned on his shoulder and said, "Finally, everything's over. We're together now. Do you know how happy I am to be with you again? I got scared and lost my stand after hearing your arrest. Now, it feels like I got myself back on track since you're here with me.""How did you bring me out?" "Does that matter now? Now that you came outside, don't think about those things. Let's forget what happened and think about what we should do next…" said while tracing his hand in a seductive way. He snapped my hand and asked, "Tell me what did you do to bring me out?" "Why do you want to know?"I want to know." He asked the driver to stop the car and got out of it. I stepped out after him and looked at him who was walking over the bridge. I asked the driver to leave and walked to Ace. I stood in front of him and said, "I asked Paulo to help me to get you out of that place.""What did yo
One Million Reais Chapter 47
Louisa's p.o.v;After hearing that Ace was arrested, I rushed to the police station and looked around. I walked among the police officers and found Raphael talking to the chief. I ran to him and asked, "Where's he?""Who are you looking for?" He asked me back while the chief gave a confused expression on his face. "Where's he?" I asked him again but with tears this time. He grabbed me by my arm and took me away from the chief and brought me to the document room and asked, "What are you trying to do? Do you want the whole police station to know about your love affair with that mafia? Do you know what will happen if they find out? If the chief knows about the real reason you were relieved from the case, do you think he'll let you go just like that? The name you earned solving all these cases will vanish in a few minutes. You'll become nothing to them but a liar.""I don't care about anything right now. I want to see him." I said while crying in front of him.He pulled me into a hug
One Million Reais Chapter 46
Louisa's p.o.v;Raphael asked without an expression on his face, "What am i witnessing here?" "Raphael, I…" When i tried to walk to him, He said, "Stop right there.""Raphael…" "Don't talk to me. Do you know how shocked I am to see you with him? Is this the friend you talked about? Is this the guy who you slept with?"I nodded and stood still. When he tried to slap me, Ace held his hand to stop him from hitting me. I said to Ace, "Please, Leave." After Ace left, Raphael slapped me right across the face and asked, "Do you even know who he is? He's the Phantom gang leader. He's a Mafia. Who's wanted by the police. Us. You're supposed to arrest him, not sleep with him dammit!... Now i understand why you got relieved from the case, he's related to that case, right? Thinking about the things that happened in the past… how long have you known him?" "Even before I joined as a cop." "So it was all a lie. You were with him all these years and lied to me that you don't about him. Did yo
