A spy in the house

  AVERY’s POV

  

  Logan pointed at Axell who kept on smiling at him. 

  

  “What? You must be tired, Logan. Come on”

  

  I rolled my eyes at Axell then I pulled Logan back into the house, and placed him on the bed for a little nap. I peeked through the window to see if they had left, and surprisingly they were still there. Axell was still peeking and he caught my eyes. He chuckled and I quickly shut the window and then used the curtains also.

  

  LUCRECIA’s POV

  

  Where did she put it? This woman will be the end of me! I told her not to take it away from where I put it, but of course, she had to act like the most caring woman on earth. Where was she when I needed her the most? And now she suddenly cares.

  

  I moved to her room and saw her kneeling. She was praying, and I had to respect that.

  

  When she stood up, I quickly tapped her shoulders.

  

  “Are you done? Now where is my passport, and I am not joking!”

  

  “Why are you trying to ruin your life, my child?”

  

  “Don’t ever call me that! I am not your child and you are certainly not my mother! No matter would leave her child for years to suffer in the hands of a stepmother. You made me whatever I am today. So stop all this and hand me my passport”

  

  “That man you are planning on traveling with is going to destroy your life, Lu. He doesn't love you. The only one who truly loved you, you let him slip away”

  

  “Do not ever speak to me like that again! I am not dumb, okay? I also have my plans. I just need to go with Paolo or else we might both end up dead and I am sure you do not want that”

  

  I scoffed and sneezed so hard that I fell to my knees, but she quickly picked me back up.

  

  “Well, you can try to run away, while I stall him. He will never find you, please”

  

  I looked at her, shook my head, and twisted my ankles. 

  

  “You don't know Paolo. You can never hide from him. Axell tried it and now sees what he is getting, right? Paolo found him. No one can hide from him”

  

  My phone rang and I quickly answered it when I saw who it was

  

  Talk of the devil.

  

  “Hello, mi vida? How are you doing? Are you getting ready for me?”

  

  “Well, I am. Just a little issue”

  

  “What is it?”

  

  I could hear the panic and anger in his voice. My words couldn't come out, they were stuck in my throat, but I had to brace myself.

  

  “My passport. I lost it, Paolo”

  

  “Passport? What do you need them for, Mi Vida?”

  

  Oh, how I hate it when he addresses me that way with his stupid Italian accents. I thought I was doing the right thing when I helped him set Axell up, but now I so much regret it. 

  

  Now, all I want is to get my acts right and fight. 

  

  “I need them to travel with you, right? Didn't you say something about going on a little trip?”

  

  “You underestimate me, Lucrecia. Why do you need a passport for that? Tell me you don't know we I have a private jet, huh?”

  

  I was stunned to hear that because I had no idea he had one. Unlike Axell, Paolo is very secretive.

  

  “Wow, that is news. Good then”

  

  “You must think only your boy, Axell, has money and jets, right?”

  

  Again with the Axell comparison. He never liked Axell because Axell has always been a competition for him, and Paolo always tried his best to look bigger whenever Axell was around.

  

  “I never said that, Paolo. Now give it a break”

  

  “You listen to me! Everything that bastard once had now belongs to me including you bitch! And now I just need to end him permanently and quietly”

  

  This dickhead never stops disrespecting me. Well, good thing he never left Axell for him. Axell had already left me even before Paolo came into the picture. 

  

  I thought I did the right thing, and now I guess I have been a fool all along.

  

  He ended the call, and I went back to my room leaving my mother alone in her tears. She could drown in it for all I care. 

  

  I thought about calling Axell and telling me about Poalo’s plans, but I kept reconsidering it. I have always been reconsidering it since the day he left Mexico. 

  

  The decision I made was out of anger at him leaving me all alone when he knew how much I loved him. 

  

  That decision of mine made him lose his parents, and now I wonder if I would ever get him back.

  

  I whispered to myself without realizing it. 

  “The fact he left Mexico without trying to fight back still amazes me. He left his positions, his throne, and everything he had here in Mexico without giving two fucks” 

  

  That is one thing about Axell. He is very cool-headed. 

  

  My phone rang again and I thought it was Paolo, but it was not. It was.

  

  My spy.

  

  I walked over and locked my door before answering the call. 

  

  “Yes, talk to me”

  

  “Hello, madam. How are you doing? You said..”

  

  “Just speak! Why did you call me?”

  

  “Um.. Well, the boss just moved into his new house today”

  

  “A new house? Why did he move into a new house?”

  

  “Well, I am not quite sure, but he did”

  

  What are you planning, Axell? There is never smoke without a fire. He has something in mind I am sure about it.

  

  “Listen to me, Sophie. Always keep an eye on him, okay? That is the only reason I sent you there. You hear me?”

  

  “Yes, madam. But, you know I am just his chef, right? I can not always be around him”

  

  “Well, always find a way to be around him and report back to everything he does, who he meets up with, what he eats. Report everything he does back to me, got it?!”
