"W-wrong?" I staggered.
"Ms Castro, why do you think it is love?" He asked.
"Well, it's a wonderful feeling of warmth and trust on another person. With that feeling, it takes us to greater heights in life. We learn to listen, to be patient, and to be understanding. In c
Carmen's POVI looked at myself in the mirror. Today would be my first day of work. I gave myself 2 months of settling in, before beginning my actually mission:Getting all the info Julios Black had of the underground.
Carmen's POVThe ride to the meeting venue was just plain quiet andawkward. I desperately wanted to whip out my phone and look through my messages but wouldn't that be just plain rude to him???
J-julios...? What was he doing?His grip didn't loosened even after a good 10 seconds. I don't think he has any attention of letting go either...ugh what should I do..I made no movement to return his gesture and just simply accepted his actions. He probably thought I was alright with this, and started trying to pry open my fist so that we could intertwine our hands.Keep calm Carmen, keep calm. You have to do this. Youhaveto do this. Keeeeeeeeeeep calm Carmen Santini. Remember, it's forthem.I let out a soft sigh, barely for anyone to hear, and reluctantly loosened my fist and welcomed his hand.We locked hands with each other as
Julio's POVThe day ended like a broken down NYC train. God theoneday i wanted work to be done fast, it takes the longest, god.I didn't even tell Kleo where we were going, just dragged him into my car and strapped his seatbelt in."Ms Castro?" He went straight to the point."Oh you bet 'cha." I smirked as I started the engine.Carmen's POV"Good work today!! See you tomorrow!" I spoke to the security guard lady before leaving the building. Welp, first day wasn'tthatbad i suppose.
My mind started going haywire as i thought of any possible reasons as to whyhewas here.I shook Kiara till she came to her senses. Trust me when I say, that girl can handle her alcohol very well."What what. I was busy fantasizing my non existent boyfriend." She groaned."Julios. 12 o'clock." I covered my face in embarrassment.She stayed silent for awhile before speaking again, her voice sounding exceptionally serious. "Wanna go somewhere else?"I was honestly quite shocked at how calmly she responded. Usually she would've been like, "OH MY GOD YOU SHOULD GO TALK TO HIM" or something. But all she told me was if I wanted to go somewh
Carmen's POVMy eyes couldn't help but dart to his angle every now and then. Curiosity filled my mind as i wondered why he was here.Kiara must have gotten really frustrated as she started frowning at me."Hey, if you're really curious about bossy boss over there, imma just head out." She crossed her arms."But it's girls' night..""Exactly. Since you know that, shall we ditch this hellhole and go to a club??" Her eyes started to sparkle.I gave it a little thoughts, doing a 2 seconds debate inside my mind."Hm..."...Kleo' POV1, 2, 3 and down.He was drunk.I rolled my eyes as I saw this state for the 1000th time ever since i met him.Julios had always been a light drinker, so when he really gulps down those glasses of whiskey, it
Carmen's POVI tried to imagine i just heard that wrongly- like, He wants ME to go to HIS house?!!What?! This is-.....So we all hopped onto his car and off we went. I still couldn't grasp at the situation at hand. This was all too sudden. God literally 5 minutes ago i was still at the bar talking to them before getting scolded by Kiara for ditching her.But this?!wow. just w
It ended as fast as lightning. He simply handed me the contract and a pen and asked for my signature on the dot.Geez no rush Mr Poopy Pants..I looked through the contract and hesitated for awhile before signing. I mean, the consquences do scare me. I justhategetting involved with the government.I passed him back the contract and he nodded his head.He placed it on the table and extended his hand out. "Thank you."Woah, did his mood just change?It was as if he was relieved.I smiled and shook his hand as a response as we proceeded to chat more about Julios. Surprisingly, this guy knew a lot about him. Any time we had a topic, Julios would be the first example he could think of and it would continue to a whole ass conversation by itself.It was nice to learn more about him, but what I realized, was that he didn't have any example of himself. All he he knew and talked about wa
Julios' POV He had to be feeling pain right? I mean, with all those whip marks on his back and front. He had some dried blood, and some fresh ones still slowly dripping down. But it seemed like he felt nothing, just eyeing at me so deadly like he wanted to kill me at the instant. He was put in cuffs, but I really doubt if he got serious, those cuffs could withstand his strength. I was bringing him to her, probably why he hasn't blown off my head. I could feel his rage even from a distance that he was not trying to suppress. "You can drop that cold stare Mr Garcia. I'm no longer going to hurt you." "As if. Then why did you even capture us."
Carmen's POVAs i kept blowing my head off at that guy my ears couldn't ignore another set of footsteps that were walking closer to us."Diego, give us some alone time. ...call Carlos as well. Say..*sigh* we got her." I heard an ever so familiar voice of the one and only Julios Black.I gritted my teeth in anger. "What the fuck Julios?!""Hey! Shut your mouth you-""Hey hey, it's alright." Julios interrupted that stupid prick."But boss-""It's fine. Now go." Julios ushered him.
Carmen's POVI was probably blindfolded considering I could see no shit. The only sound i could hear was the dripping of water at the far end of my right. I couldn't hear any footsteps, any chattering, any words.Was I really alone though?It was a good approximate 10 minutes of my knees crying in pain from kneeling so long that I could finally catch someone walking footsteps.I sharpened my instincts immediately."Well well well, look what we have here. If the underground had known we had captured you, i wonder what they would do." that voice said. It was no doubt, the same person who i last saw at the forest.
Carmen's POV"You helped that old lady?""Yea. I helped her set up some neon lights around her signboard. And helped her create a webpage and "logged into" systems to schedule her an appointment for furniture, cleaning and tech work. All in 3 days." He smirked."Jeez, "logged into" you say?" I chuckled."C'mon love, that was the best i could do in 3 days." He pouted.I looked up at the sky and wondered. "Bet 'cha could have done it in 2 days." I smirked."Is that a challenge?" He leaned closer and cupped my face with his palm.

Tori's POVI was very curious about this new girl in the picture. She seemed to have a high level of confidence for a lowlife like herself. She didn't seem intimidated by Julios, which is a first, I'll give her that.But to talk back to me? That's something new....8pm, Falcons Hotel.Julios' POV"Good evening sir.""Good evening. Reservations under Ms Bailey?"
Julios' POVShe was crying.I knew.She was crying.But what could I do? Iwasher enemy now.I sat up from my bed and rubbed my head. Ugh why did I have to tell her I knew..? Now our relationship is bound to go down from now.I rolled my eyes and tried to slap that thought away. Go away you stupid love arrow jeez.Just as I got up, Kleo had came inside with a cup of water."What is she doing here Kleo?" I shook my head in disappointment.
Carmen's POVOk, so maybe I was a tad curious on Julios current state. I just couldn't "go to my room and rest" you know? I peeped downstairs and when I saw Kleo leaving the his room, I waited till he was out of sight before rushing down and slowing peeking into his room.Of course, what was I expecting? He was just sleeping.Stupid Kleo, making me curious as a cat and ultimately no interesting results. As i pouted to myself, my ears suddenly sensed shuffling through the bedsheets.I lifted my head and saw him frowning really hard. Curiosity took over and I decided to enter his room without of any intention of even doing so in the first place.As I closed the door behind me, i walked up towards him and sat down beside me."So, what are you doing here?" He said in a quiet voice, his eyes still closed.I was taken aback that he was awake."You were dru
