One Million Reais Chapter 9
Louisa's p.o.v;The next morning, As soon as Ace left the room, I lifted the bed and checked whether the key was still safe under the mattress. I let out a sigh and after seeing the key where I placed it. Satisfied.Now, I should wait till midnight. When the maid brought me breakfast, I asked her, "Did you deliver food to anyone like me who was kept as captive in this house?"The maid replies, "I'll wait here till you finish with your breakfast, mam.""I'll give you money if you give me a tip. Please, help me." She looked stunned. Who'll deny the money? "I can't do what you asked, mam."I thought she'll give in but she's thicker than I thought. "Looks like they tamed you well."Suddenly Ace barged into the room and looked at me. He threw all the food on the floor and shouted at the maid, "Leave!" After the maid left, the bodyguards closed the door after her.Ace looked like he's really in a bad mood. What happened to him this time? He stared at me without blinking his eyes. I st

Louisa's p.o.v;"He's awake now. You can go and visit him. You can discharge him by tomorrow but that doesn't mean he's recovered from his injuries. He has to take medicines and should take bed rest for another two weeks." The doctor said and walked past me. I entered the room and took a seat beside the bed. "Thank you for saving me out of that shithole." And he coughed. I took a glass of water and fed him while asking, "How did you get caught by them?""I was investigating the drug to the club manager at X province, someone hit me from behind and when I got my senses back, I was tied up in a room and couldn't move a bit. I thought I was going to die until you showed up. Thank you for your help. By the way, what were you doing there in a place like that?""I was kidnapped by them too, along with my friend.""Your friend? Where's your friend?""I don't know.""Did he get out or Is he still there?"I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I don't know.""I'll help you find your friend. I'm

Louisa's p.o.v;I woke up to the unknown noises, I looked around for Ace but he wasn't lying on the spot where I saw him before. What are the noises? Is he the one who's making those noises? Bernie walked out of the kitchen. Where did Ace go? When did I fall asleep? Shit! "Why are you sleeping on the floor? Did you fall asleep while watching television?" Bernie asked."When did you come?" Asked while rubbing the eyes."10 mins ago.""Was the door open when you came?""No, closed. Why? Don't you remember?""How did the date go?""Okay."I stood up and asked him, "What do you mean by okay? Didn't you say you're going to ask her to be your girlfriend? Did you ask her? What did she say?" He didn't give a reply and walked here and there. I stood in front of him and asked again, "What did she say?""She asked for more time.""More time to what? To see another guy?"He gave me a flick and said, "Some people need time to think about a serious relationship. I'm glad that she's taking it seri
One Million Reais Chapter 12
Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up, brushing off my yawn, I remembered Ace. I hurried outside the room and noticed the apartment being empty. I checked Bernie's room and came to the conclusion that he left. I let out a relief sigh and walked to my room. After getting a shower, I got into my casual clothes and boiled some instant noodles to eat. While eating, I looked at the door. Bernie said he'll be here by morning. It's already 10. Why hasn't he come back? Is he going to stay there for another day? After waiting for some time, I locked the room and came downstairs. After giving the spare key to Mr Hernandez, I headed to the college. After 20 minutes of travelling in the bus, I got down at the stop near my college. It takes a 5 mins walk to reach the college from the bus terminal. Inside college, while I was on my way to the class, I saw Lucas being all smiley to the girl beside him. It's the girl I saw before. Are they dating? Who cares! "Louisa!" Who's calling my name? When I turne

Louisa's p.o.v;"Louisa, where are you?" Bernie called out while entering the apartment."I'm in shower!" I shouted back at him.He tapped on the door and said, "Come out quickly!""What is it?""Come out, I'll tell you."I hurriedly finish with my shower and came out dripping water all over asking, "What's the rush for?""Your mother made a call."I let out a sigh and asked, "Why did you pick the call?" "How can I not? You know what happens when I don't pick up. She'll be here on the next flight.""What was it?""She's visiting you next week.""Did she say the reason?""Not exactly but she said it's something important.""For her everything is important except me."While i was drying my hair, Bernie sat beside me and said, "It's been 6 months since you visited home. Aren't you interested to go see them?" "Why should I go see them?""Because they're your family."I let out a fake laugh and said, "They said they don't have time for me. Does your family say that to you?""I can't comm
One Million Reais Chapter 14
Louisa's p.o.v;After the first hour got over, I walked to my next class thinking about the place where Mr Hernandez mentioned it's dangerous to go. Even though he said not to go, I've been thinking of a way to go there. That's the only lead I got so far. While i was walking i bumped into someone accidentally, "I'm sorry, i didn't see…" by the uniform, i realised it was a teacher, "I'm sorry, teacher…" when i looked at the face, "Nicolas?" He shushed me and said, "Come with me." And took me to the nearby classroom. It was empty. After we came into class, he closed the door behind us."Nicolas, what are you doing here?"He stood in front of me and said, "Keep it low. What if someone hears you?" When I stared at his uniform, he continued, "I'm the new transferred teacher for literature.""Teacher? For literature?""Yes, I'm a teacher so don't call me by my first name."I think he didn't know that I'm his student yet. I smiled and teased him while asking, "Then, how do you want me to ad

One Million Reais Chapter 16
Louisa's p.o.v;I came to the address where Mr Hernandez said it was dangerous for the people my age but i can't stay still after getting a lead. I was tortured for this stone. How can I give up that easily? I walked into the alley wearing a black hoodie to hide my face, while I was already inside the alley, there were many people who looked like they're dope. I looked for the house number he mentioned in the paper but I couldn't find it. I should find it before someone else notices me. I finally saw the house number that I was searching for. It is really my lucky day I guess. There was no one at or near the house so I knocked on it. The door wasn't open by anyone inside. Is it empty? I looked for the windows in the house. I spotted a window on the first floor, I climbed up the house and tried to open the window. It wasn't locked. Does that mean someone is inside? I looked inside the house through the window but there wasn't anyone. I opened the window and jumped into the house and c

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
