Adam took out his cell phone and asked a detective who was a partner and personal friend of his to quickly find out if the owner had a niece called Bonnie, and soon got a positive answer. He sent a photograph of the young woman and it was the same one who had been talking to him. However, the photo came with other information. Bonnie was an upper-class young woman who had become hopelessly involved with the mafia. After the death of her boyfriend, she moved back to southeastern Nevada with her lawyer sister and started doing shady jobs for various loan sharks and, on occasion, the mafia. Adam finished reading the report about her on his cell phone and thought about it. What if it was her job this time? What if she had been manipulating him all along into inviting her to his house? Unable to resist, he asked the detective what kind of shady work she did. And the answer left him speechless. Young Bonnie was a professional torturer. Adam had to restrain himself from showin
Adam didn't send Bonnie away immediately, because he needed to find out, if he would feel pleasure for her and for the sake of the children. “You suggested that as a joke, right? Adam asked, doubting her intelligence. If before she had seemed like someone with wisdom, now he saw her as a spoiled, shallow girl. “Because I'm not talking about eternity, I'm talking about security, to live to a ripe old age.” “If that person is right, you'll be doing Kate a favor. I don't want to get old. In my forties I'll make you kill me.” She said seriously, but then smiled, showing her dimples. And changed the subject. “Let's go and look at the children. When will their parents be back to pick them up?” Adam still stared at her as if he had caught someone who had escaped from the psychiatric hospital. Was she really making twenty-year plans for them? “Tomorrow, in the late afternoon, the children will leave.” “I'll help you look after them. They must be hungry. I'm starving.” She said
He missed her terribly, but he wouldn't go to her while she was studying. The detective couldn't give him many details, apart from the fact that she was studying and working with her brother. Bonnie got out of the water and picked up her cell phone to order lunch for them. Adam then realized that he was starving, and the children must have been too. Everyone got out of the pool and changed. Adam took the children to the kitchen, where Bonnie cooked some eggs and chopped fruit for them. The lunch she had ordered arrived before she had finished preparing the children's food, but Adam waited for her. The children were exhausted from the swimming pool and fell asleep on the fluffy rug in the living room. Adam and Bonnie decided to stay there, watching La Casa de Papel and commenting quietly about their characters so as not to wake the children. In the late afternoon, the children woke up, and Bonnie prepared milk in a bottle for the smallest boy and a sandwich for the biggest
The boy raised his right hand. “Then I think he'll be more useful if you spare his life for now. But I know he can't go unpunished, or it would set an example for the others.” “And what do you suggest?” Adam asked delightedly, already excited again. “I told him we're werewolves. He can't go free from here, ever again.” “Cut off his left hand. It won't be needed when you need to wield a weapon, and he can be your receiver without worry, because he's only a child. And besides, he can take responsibility for illegal drug possession when his older receivers get caught.” Adam looked at the boy. This time he was terrified. He looked at his men and they were indifferent. “Do as she says.” Adam said loudly, to Bonnie or go, but in the minds of each of the werewolves, he kept his sentence and the boy was taken to the hill, where he dug his own grave and then was shot in the head, once he was inside it. Adam left with Bonnie and took her to the bedroom and made her scream wi
“I haven't seen Ryan since I got here, has something happened to him?” “Ryan has given up on being Sigma and the pain doesn't let him think clearly. He turns into a werewolf and... Adam has put him in the green house until he can regain control of himself.” “Ryan in jail? Without a wife?” “I didn't say he was without a wife.” Genevieve stared at Kate as if she couldn't believe her ears. “Adam wouldn't send human...” “Werewolf women don't accept that... Situation.” “But humans aren't capable of staying with a transformed werewolf!” “I know. Welcome to the new reality. Every week we have burials on the farm's hill, and a new young woman, full of dreams and fantasies, entering the green house.” “That's... Odious.” “I know.” Genevieve took a deep breath. She couldn't interfere in that matter. Not yet. “What about Sarah? Does she still wash the toilets?” Kate smiled. “Her hair has grown out and it's as long as she liked it before.” Kate said, smiling mor
“Are you looking for that, Genevieve?” He asked quietly. “I saw it through your eyes, Kate taking it.” He explained and started looking at Genevieve's privacy. “WOW! Genevieve. I've never heard you say such... vulgar things.” He said and threw the phone at her, who caught it in mid-air. “What were you planning? Are you going to meet your lovers together? Please don't let me miss something like that.” He said with a smile and turned to Genevieve. “Since you're back, why don't you visit Ryan in the green house? To reminisce about old times? I hear he's been very... horny.” Genevieve looked at the door and then at Adam. “So he won't care if the ass he's sticking his penis in is hairy. You should try it, Adam!” Genevieve said and ran out of there urgently, heading for the solitude of her bedroom. Adam cracked a rare smile and turned to Kate. “Maybe it's time you stopped being a werewolf, Kate. I'm starting to get interested in your secrets...” “You'd be bored, Adam. I don
“What is it?” “I want them to improve the health insurance for everyone who works with us. They deserve it. They risk their lives to protect us and Beth almost died because her plan wasn't good. I don't want a repeat.” “Their plan is already good, Anna.” “It's not. They didn't want you in that hospital, because of his plan, and...” “E...?” “And because they hate you and Henry.” “Anna... This hospital only caters for the upper class. They don't even accept patients on health insurance. It's the most expensive hospital in the region, and many people come from abroad to be treated here. There's no way of making a plan for them to be received here, and as for hating us, we can't change that reality.” “But the receptionist has my plan card.” “They held it just to check the information and make sure I could pay for care here.” “But I paid a hundred thousand dollars just so they'd see us. That's proof enough that I can afford it...” “Not for them. Their anesthesia syr
In Ian's fourth year, Anna's father insisted on a celebration, and Ian himself asked his parents to have a celebration that day. He had started attending nursery school a few months earlier, and all his friends had parties. Anna and Maxwell talked it over, and even though they understood that it must have been the children's parents who had instructed them to ask Ian to have a party, they decided to agree to the celebration, on the condition that only the nursery school children and their parents were invited. Anna's father tried to argue, as he wanted to invite his friends with their children, but she was firm and he gave in. Helen took the opportunity to tell Maxwell and Anna that she would be leaving after Ian's party. She said she had been asked to work in a hospital and didn't want to miss the opportunity. She and Anna hugged, both with tears in their eyes, because over time, they had become like sisters. Anna thought of her as family. Beth, with Maxwell's help, had br
