THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 92. MY PROMISE
I thought hard and long about where to start looking for the truth because I couldn’t just sit down and rely on the memories that I wasn’t sure was even accurate. Since my mother adopted me or probably found me somewhere, she would surely be the starting point of where I have to follow in order to retrace my step.I met her coming back from the supermarket and was about entering the house when I got there. Judging from her expression, she was shocked to see me suddenly show up in front of her house because I have never been there.“Do you have some time to spare?” I blurted out“Sure, come in” she responded and opened the door for me. We both walked into the house and I took my time to look around. It was a bit better than my father’s house and nothing special was going on except the necessities that were needed in the house. One strange thing was that I couldn’t find any picture of the both of them among the picture frames that were hung, instead they were individual pictures.I was
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 93. THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW
“I want you tonight” I muttered and clung to him the more.My mind was extremely blank and I didn’t even know what to do but seeing how I came straight to him for comfort, he was the best option I needed that night.“I am here baby, for as long as you want” he assured me and wrapped his hand around me tighter to pull me to himI raised my head to look into his eyes and the silence in the room raised the tension between us. I couldn’t stop staring at him and he didn’t avoid my gaze too. With a leapt of my feet, I pressed my lips against his and slowly closed my eyes to enjoy the moment.He didn’t dull me out and parted his lips to give me access, the kiss started sensually before the intensity gradually was raised and within the span of minutes, we were raving each other’s mouth hungrily.We kissed our way to the sofa and he gently laid me down without disconnecting our locked lips, he was kissing every corner of my mouth and taking the lead steadily. I didn’t open my mouth and just fo
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 94. SURPRISING DISCOVERY
Immediately we finished discussing that night, he picked up his phone and placed a call through to someone I couldn’t see his name. They discussed for a while about their lives and jobs before he threw out the suggestion of them meeting up the next day.“Another bird sighted” was the code he gave and I tried to understand what he meant by that for quite a while but couldn’t so I gave up and just minded my businessThe other person talked for a while on his own end before Stanley was able to continue the conversation with “Are you sure and ready?” With the way the conversation went, it was definite that the person accepted to meet with me and I couldn’t stop thinking about who it could be.“Will I be able to recognize them? What if they don’t know me? What if it’s someone I don’t know? Also what if we didn’t have a good rapport in the orphanage?” I poured out endlessly, pacing up and down the room as I got readyStanley just stood there beside the door looking at me display all I want
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 95. SHAKE THEM UP
We went ahead to pick up the twins at the airport and I realized that they were the same set of people that rescued me the other night after I solved the case of the abusive husband.“Wow! They were the ones the other day” I exclaimed and they both smiled at the same time before they extended their hands for a greeting and shake“Thank you for taking care of me” I remarked and they touched their chests with their fists before responding “We were only doing our job” Stanley walked up to us after clearing some things with Ray and asked how their flight went.“C’était tout à fait correct. Je déteste les vols mais n’importe quoi pour toi (It was quite okay. I hate flights but anything for you)” Gabriel remarked, his nose raised up in a scrunch“Le mien était amusant, je veux le faire souvent (Mine was fun, I want to do this often)” Michael commented and that earned him a shot from Gabriel but he didn’t let that get to you“Je suis désolé de t’avoir traîné jusqu’ici mais c’est mieux qu’on
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 96. KEEP IN CHECK
MONICA’S POVI spent two good days in the police’s detention before Marcus could come for me. He was away on a business trip to another country and immediately he heard of my predicament from his secretary, he took the next available flight back to Lisbon without hesitation.“You have now been granted a bail but note that the rules attached are that you cannot leave the country without permission until your case has been sorted out. You are to respond to every summons as swift as possible. Failure to abide by all these rules will make you qualified for immediate arrest without a warrant so make sure to keep to them” the police officer listed to me as he brought me the bail form where I was in the detention room“I know all that. You don’t need to spit all over me so pass me the paper” I spat out and reached for the form“You can sign here” the police officer said, ignoring what I had said to him“Who came for me? The lawyers?” I asked as I signed the form and Marcus came into the room
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 97. HIS SALVATION
I couldn’t think about the next thing to say when I heard Pamela saying she didn’t know where she kept everything I had sent her.“How could you say that? I mean, I kept them in your possession because they were classic information that I didn’t want to be careless with. Now what do we do? I don’t even have any copy left with me anywhere” I subtly scolded her, trying my best not to raise my voiceShe kept mute the whole time and sat there gently till I was done before standing up to move closer to me.“I am sorry that I couldn’t keep them well. I changed my phone sometimes ago and just told them to wipe off everything before I remembered that you kept some files with me. It wasn’t intentional so I hope you will not be annoyed. Also, I will try to see if I can get the phone and recover the files so give me some time” she responded calmly with a sober tone and I was forced to calm down at the end of the day.It’s not like I could hit her or sue her over something like that and she alrea
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 98. ATTACKED
“We were both living in France, stuck with our abusive and alcoholic father who would beat us, throw us out of the house to earn money, take the hard earned money and exhaust it on alcohol. One evening, he gave Gabriel a hellish beating that almost claimed his life because he stood up to him and refused to let go of the money. I had to rush him to the hospital in the middle of the night but there was no taxi or car anywhere. I carried him on my back barefooted and ran all the way to the hospital before a car suddenly parked in front of me and it turned out to be Stanley. He offered me a ride and I was able to save him. When he recovered, he gave me the option of saving me or going back home and we decided to pick his salvation” Michael explained and I could feel tears forming in my eyes.“What was his salvation? He brought him to justice?” I asked further, getting invested in the story as my reporter’s instinct kicked in immediately“He wanted to do that but we begged him to leave our
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 99. HER HELP
MONICA’S POVEven though I told her not to worry about whatever it is they had planned to say at the meeting, I was still scared of what the outcome would be. I just came out from the police’s detention and I haven’t had the time to put together evidences that would prove that I wasn’t the criminal they all thought I was.All those tensions couldn’t make me concentrate anymore so I decided to visit my dead mother’s abandoned office. I told them to leave it as it was but make sure to clean it from time to time because I would love to visit there occasionally and it was the right time to make that visit I haven’t made for ages.“As usual, it always feel so warm here” I muttered and sat on her chair, looking around the office.“Mom, what do I do? I don’t think I can hold on for long. Nothing seems to be working, I am just trying to hold it together and not break down but how long can I stand? It’s getting tiresome” I poured out as I stared from one edge of the wall to the other.With a t
