One Million Reais Chapter 24
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

Louisa's p.o.v;Ace took me to my apartment in his car. When I was about to get out of the car, I said, "Thanks." Ace, "I'm leaving for a business trip tomorrow. I'll be back next week.""Why are you telling me this?" He continued ignoring me, "Until then I'll leave valentine to take care of you. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask him.""I don't need anyone to look after. I'm a grown up. I can take care of myself. Thanks for the ride."I got out of the car and headed to my apartment.Back in the library, I ignored both of their questions and walked out of the library at that time but I don't think I can do that every time. I thought he was going to ask me about Lucas when he started talking to me while I was getting out of the car. But he didn't. Normal people do ask, right? Usually when Lucas approaches me, I throw a fit at him but today it was different. I couldn't get mad at him, is it because of Ace? Having Ace beside me, I was more cautious to not to be in trouble sinc

Louisa's p.o.v;Bernie asked me while I was preparing to eat dinner, "Where did you go?" "I went to return the books back to the library."He nodded and started eating his food. He's been silent since I came back from the library. Weird."How was the movie?" I asked."Yeah, good."I nodded and continued eating. Definitely, something's wrong. After we finished eating, we went to our rooms quitely which is new. He always talks a lot about his day and about his girlfriend but it didn't happen today. I came to my room and dropped on the bed. Is something wrong between them? But they didn't look like they had a dispute with each other. Or did Bernie find out about Ace? Whatever, Let's wait till he speaks so I'll ask him tomorrow if this continues. Suddenly, Bernardo knocked on my door like hell. What is wrong with him? I opened the door and asked, "What is it?" "I'm moving out." He said while ignoring my eyes.That was a different answer which I didn't expect from him. "Why?" "No o

Louisa's p.o.v;Lucas dragged me to the cafeteria and made me sit across from him. He ordered food for both of us and stared at me like boring a hole inside my head. When I tried to ask him, the food came and interrupted me. He said, "Let's eat first.""I'm not hungry."He pushed the tray towards me saying, "You will eat." And smiled at me mischievously. He placed his phone on the table and asked me to look into it. When I took his phone, there was a picture of Ace and me standing close to each other under the rain. Who took this picture? How did he get it? Was he there while I was with Ace that day? "What do you want with me?" I asked. "Let's get back together." "No.""Aren't you afraid that everyone will come to know that you have an affair with the mafia? Do you want the college committee to know that? Do you want your parents to know that?"Like I care about the people he mentioned. I don't know how much he knows about Ace but I can't give in. If i give in, he'll treat me li
One Million Reais Chapter 29
Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up, I saw Ace sleeping beside me. I smiled without my knowledge after seeing him sleeping peacefully. I remembered the kiss last night. It was really a good one. While I was grinning while remembering it, I remembered another thing. He didn't sleepwalk last night. "When do you wake up?" He asked, patting my head.I asked, "Did I wake you up?" He shaked his head and looked at me. "What is it?" He moved closer to me and pulled me into a quick kiss and said, "I thought it was a dream, But it's real. I couldn't believe it's you who initiated the kiss." And he smiled at me. "Stop teasing me. Hey, about your sleepwalking, does this occur every night or randomly?""Every Night. Why do you ask?""Because you didn't sleepwalk last night." "What?" "Yeah, it came as a surprise to me as well.""Is it because of the kiss?""What?""This could be a way. I think you have to kiss me every night to stop me from sleepwalking.""Huh?"While I was staring at him being c

Louisa's p.o.v;At college, Ryder, "What do you want to talk to me about?" "Did you beat Lucas?" "Yeah." I thought he would refuse but he agreed. "Why did you beat him?""I'm a bully. I beat a lot of boys. I don't need a reason to beat anyone. Is that why you called me? Then, I'm leaving.""Did you hear us in the cafeteria?" "I have to go somewhere." I held his hand and said, "Thank you." He removed my hand and asked while smiling, "Where did you learn to thank people? Is this really the Louisa I know?" "I'm leaving.""Hold on. Where are you leaving already? I have a question to ask you. Who's the other guy in the picture?""I'm afraid I can't answer that." "Why? Is he your boyfriend?" While I was figuring out what to answer, I got a call. I asked for an excuse and walked away from him. Who called me now? When I looked at the display, I saw my mother's name on the display. I ended the call and said to Ryder, "I have to hurry up." "Thank you again." And walked away from him.
One Million Reais Chapter 31
Louisa's p.o.v;I was looking at Ace who was sleeping on the bed beside me and the one who looked cute when he's drunk. This is the first time I'm seeing him getting drunk. I saw him drinking before but never saw him getting wasted. He apologised a lot of times in one night. I don't know if I could forgive but I'm sure I can't forget it. I turned off the lights and laid beside him, facing him. "Did you know that I got worried when you didn't show up? I must be insane, right? To be worried about class one mafia. I wonder who you are underneath all of this. I'm getting confused about who's the real one sometimes. Is it the one who's outside the room, murdering almost everyone or the one who's beside me, being nice and warm. Whoever you are, Please, don't make it difficult for me." I closed my eyes and fell asleep. The next morning, I woke up to the noises from the kitchen. I got out of the bed and walked straight to the kitchen and asked Ace, who was doing something on the stove, "W

Louisa's p.o.v;The chief came and saw the messy police station and got mad at us for being careless with our work and asked us to call the cops who are in the fields investigating the case and the ones on patrol. 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. The chief also took away everyone's cell phone and asked us to clean the messy police station along with the janitors who came to clean it and left the police station.While we're cleaning it, Raphael said, "I checked the surveillance camera, there
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

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

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
