The Deal Breaker Thirty
James's house was no longer the mess it had been when he had left. Portia had been watching the window for several minutes as she couldn't wait for her father to arrive. She was a born party lover and wasted no opportunity to exploit the situation to the fullest.Luna, meanwhile, was distracted by her computer in the kitchen. Clare had been telling her a couple of anecdotes about Mitchell and he sounded like a completely unusual man. James had told her that in his teenage years he had become one of her main father figures. After all, his father had died and Mitchell was the only one who had been there for him without wanting to sabotage him.He was writing an email to his mother when his phone vibrated. He ignored it for a few seconds but then it did again. He looked at it quickly and the unusual message caught his attention.He picked up the phone and read. What?"See you soon, Luna. You can't keep me away if I don't go alone."He chose to ignore it and with a distorted mind, left it
The Deal Breaker Thirty one (season finale)
Luna was packing her bag as anguish gripped her body. She didn't want to leave, didn't want to, but she knew James wouldn't let her go with him.Portia was still sleeping and her heart shrank at the thought of not being able to say goodbye to her. According to James, he wouldn't have to be gone too long as he planned to end the whole situation in less than a day, if there was a chance.The house was going to be monitored and his phone was going to be tracked. It was not easy to get through to the owner of an unknown line, but he could not find any other option than that to reach Angelica. He hadn't heard from her since she had left her job at the office.*"I told you not to yell at me, you little bastard!" she yelled as she hit Michael. He sighed in pain."Please!" the young man begged."Where's my money? I don't see it anywhere. You have three seconds. Speak." commanded James."Please...My..."He fired.Angelica appeared and wearing latex gloves opened a dresser drawer. From it, she
The Deal Breaker One
"Anything else, Mr. Bexell?""Please send the documents I gave you, duplicate it first and bring it back when it is ready. That's all, you can leave..."She quickly left the place, making the sound of her shoes echo loudly within the four walls.James's day began at five o'clock in the morning. Portia woke up feeling nauseous and he rushed her to the hospital. That night she went to bed at three in the morning, so two hours of sleep had been all she could get, and it was very inconvenient.His eyes were closing and seemed to slowly drift down his retinas, although he tried not to make a big deal of it. He had to finish his work so he could get the hell out of here.He picked up his phone."Hello, Rose...just calling to check on Portia, put her through," he said. "Hello, sweetheart, how are you?," with a smile on his face, his voice changed completely. "Really? That's great. I'm gonna see you soon. What? It's not easy to get one...I know, baby, I promised you, I know. Listen, well...go
The Deal Breaker Two
Luna read Samuel's letter while, between sighs, watched that movie she loved so much. She got distracted from time to time and had to go back to reading from the beginning.This boy was driving her crazy, not in a good way. He was driving her crazy, hysterical.... Every day she received a letter from him, asking for forgiveness, begging her...it was totally annoying.She stopped concentrating on the letter and went straight to her laptop. She hadn't checked her notifications in a while and thought maybe she would have one or two, maybe three emails, she didn't have many friends and mostly hung out with the girls she knew from work.She opened his e-mail, and to her surprise, she had 29 unopened ones.She opened the first one, it was from her mother. She answered everything very briefly, she didn't get along with her but he still loved her. Their relationship had become stormy when she found out how much she had alienated her from her father. She wasn't a bad mother, if somewhat overpr
The Deal Breaker Three
James waited impatiently for his coffee while flipping through some gossip magazine on the coffee table. He had managed to get away from work for a little while and traveled quickly in his private jet. The trip had taken about three hours and he had arrived right on time.Last Tuesday he had sent several emails, until two days later he decided to fly to Seattle. After catching the flight, he sent a few more emails quoting Luna at the agency and when she responded, he was already in town.The clock had him too desperate. He was already getting nervous, though he tried not to show it."Um, excuse me?," a young woman asked, standing in front of him. A young woman asked, standing in front of him. She sat down across from him. He looked up, "Are you James?," he nodded, "Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Luna""A pleasure, Miss Scaloni" he said with a gentile smile on his face."Have you come all the way from New York?" She asked shyly."Yes." He adjusted his tie. "I'm sorry I sounded so...pressure
The Deal Breaker Four
James started walking, and Luna quickly followed him. After a few seconds, she could distinguish the large champagne-colored van."Get in." He said as he opened the door.She climbed into the passenger side and quickly James climbed in beside her."Well, for this week, I'll tell you some rules you'll have to follow." He said seriously, although he was quite happy. "Not to be too strict, it'll just be a few.""That's all right.""You'll write these down mentally. Rule number one: you will do with Portia only what I allow you to do. I have already experienced uncomfortable situations with other nannies, and I don't think it's good for them to do something with my daughter that I wouldn't do with her, or allow. Rule number two: you can ask her certain questions, but I will tell you which ones you CANNOT ask. Nothing about her mother or family in general. About her grandmother, maybe. Rule number three: if you stay, you will be assigned a room. Your house, my house. But you can't bring st
The Deal Breaker Five
The heat was abounding in New York. It was a sunny enough morning to set up a pool right there.It had been 19 and a half hours since James and Luna had left Seattle. It had been a drastic change for her to leave the way she had, but it had been her first reaction, and if everything went wrong, she could come back as promised.She had no relatives besides her mother, or anything like that, so it just didn't matter much.When they arrived, a black van was waiting for them outside the building they had gone to after the airport. Luna seemed a little surprised to see how he was being treated in New York, even though he himself had told her not to get carried away by it.He came across as a serious, stubborn, complicated and rather annoying man at times. He was someone quite determined, and would not take "no" for an answer under any circumstances.They expected to arrive before eleven o'clock in the morning, and of course, he would find himself with a little one trying to find out where
The Deal Breaker Six
The imaginary water fell into the cup Portia had given Luna.They had finished gathering every feather in the room, and then Portia had found the perfect place to hide the bag; under her bed.James still hadn't shown up, Rose hadn't either, although sooner or later she would have to talk to her."Would you like something with your tea, Luna?" she said in some kind of British accent. Quite original."Sugar, please." she asked politely."Well, here you are." she said handing over a small white cup.Luna poured herself some sugar I would imagine and tasted her tea."It's delicious!" Lun exclaimed, smiling. Portia mimicked her."I made it myself." she confessed proudly."Well, you make wonderful tea.""Yes, thank you." she smiled. "Are you a friend of Dad's?""Yes, I am.""He doesn't usually have many people over, unless it's Uncle Peter. He doesn't usually spend much time with me.""Oh, doesn't he? Well, I'm sure he'll spend a little more time with you now.""Really?""Yes.""Do you want
