As Araceli walked back to her car, Rafael asked her, "Did you get to talk to Franco?"

"No," she replied, tears welling up in her eyes. "I saw him with his wife and I just couldn't bring myself to approach them."

Rafael put his arm around her and said, "It's okay. You don't have to put yourself through that. Let's just go home."

Araceli nodded in agreement.

As they got in the car and drove away, she couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. She was heartbroken that Franco was with someone else.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that," Rafael said as they drove.

"It's not your fault," Araceli replied. "I just need some time to process everything."

"Take all the time you need," Rafael said. "I'm here for you, no matter what."

Araceli smiled weakly and leaned her head on the car's window.

....

As Rafael drove past the highway, I was reminded of the first time I boarded the a bus with Franco. I fell asleep on his arms and he gently caressed my hair until we reached our destination.

    Araceli reached for the envelope and opened it, there were pictures of her and Franco from the past. Fearful moans escaped her lips as she threw the pictures on the bed. The muscles of her bottleneck stiffened. "This was twelve years ago Francisco." She tried to hide the fear underneath her breath."But you never made mention of it Araceli, are you you trying to fool me?" Francisco's gaze darkened as he walked nigher to her."This shouldn't be a reason for you to think that I'm against you Francisco. We made a deal, and I will do exactly what you ask of me, no feelings attached. This is purely business." She said to him."I don't believe you."

    "I've got great news for you and a bad one too." A tall man dressed in a dark grey suit said to the woman, who was seated on a sun lounger beside the pool. He was large with ripped muscles with his hair pulled into a neat ponytail. One could tell he was a hard man even though he was elegantly dressed.He has a blank expression on his face as he stood staring down at the woman watching him with steel-blue eyes.Her eyes narrowed slightly as she waited for him to reveal to her what he had to say."I found Franco." He finally let out."You did?" Her lips parted in shock as the name registered in her mind, memories of times past flickered before her eyes making her heart beat even faster with each breath she took."Finally." She mumbles to herself, smiling and gently tapping her chest as she recalls it all, the one whom her heart yearns for, the man whom she owes her every breath.Her childhood love-Franco was alive.He was the most beautiful part of her past but yet, the most painful mem

    "Promise me, Franco, promise you will never leave me." Seventeen years old Araceli curled her right fingers into fists releasing just the littlest. She points it at Eighteen years old Franco waiting for him to cross his around hers for a pinky promise. "I promise I won't ever leave or abandon you." Franco crossed his finger around hers as she expected. Her giggles echo in the air as he pulls her closer for a hug. He placed his lips on her forehead and whispered in her ears-"I won't ever let myself lose you. This is my promise to you, Ayla." He wraps his hands around her slender waist, gently laying her back on the ground as he leans on her. Moonlight spilled over her body revealing her pale skin as they made love in an uncompleted building that they called home for four years.A home to Franco and Ayla and not the Araceli Castaneda she has become.But here he was, walking past her like she was a ghoul. There was an imposing distance and iciness in his cold but charming brown eyes.

    Araceli was rooted to the spot as she watched them drive out of the parking lot. Her eyes reddened, with tears dripping like a cascade. "Araceli?" Francisco tugged her arm, snapping his fingers at her eyes, but she didn't flinch. He could see the tears as they flow helplessly on her cheeks, wetting her cherry-painted lips. Her tears caused tremors through his spine, making him instantly pull her closer for a hug. He didn't know what else he could do.Francisco didn't ask what had happened, to him, it wasn't important. He cared more about her state of mind, and if she ever deems him worthy to share her problems, he was prepared to lend her his ears and whatever help she might need.Araceli's frame shuddered, her head laid on Francisco's broad chest as she wails remorsefully. The past twelve years she spent, making bad choices with hopes to find Franco, but it wasn't worth it. Franco has proved he never deserved her love, and the pain was excruciating."Get me out of here!" She w

    Araceli was stunned, as she stared at Francisco's dark expression. "What are you planning to do?" Her brows crinkled in confusion waiting for Francisco to explain what he meant. Francisco stared at her quietly, as he strode towards her, snorting a laugh. He held her chin up and said "I'm just going to get rid of him." The indifference and the bone-chilling cruelty in his tone sent shivers through her spine. Her knees were quivering as she tries to maintain her stance. The crackling sound of the paper soon filled the study, as she crumpled it to her thumbs. 'What gimmicks is he playing?' She kept thinking but then-"What happened? Why did you suddenly zone out?" His voice interrupted her thoughts.Araceli instantly snapped back to her senses. She relaxed her tightly clenched fist, ignoring the red marks in her palms. "Nothing." She placed the documents on the table, but then suddenly, her eyes twinkled when she saw the name on the papers."Diego Cisneros" She mutters with slanted

    As Araceli sat on the bed, listening to Rafael's revelation, she felt a mix of emotions. She was shocked and saddened by the news that Franco's foster father might have really been murdered by Francisco. But as she thought about it, she realized that there was another layer to this situation. She had made a deal with Francisco, a deal that involved getting rid of Franco once and for all. She had agreed to this deal without knowing the full story, and now she was feeling unsure about whether she wanted to go through with it. "What if it's because of the murder that Francisco wants me to get rid of Franco?" she asked Rafael, frowning. "What if he's trying to silence him before he can be exposed?" Rafael looked at her with concern. "It's possible," he said. "But we don't know for sure. The only way to find out is to ask Francisco directly." "I will," Araceli said, her anger building. "I'll confront him and ask him if he's responsible for his foster father's murder. And if he is, I'll

    Araceli descended the stairs and was immediately greeted by the maid. She was about to ask the maid what was going on when there was a loud knock at the door. She walked over to the entrance, wondering who could be visiting at this hour. As she opened the door, she was shocked to see Franco standing on the doorstep. Shock rushed through her spine as her eyes twinkled. He had just disappeared the night before without saying anything to her, and now, here he was, standing in front of her with another detective by his side. "Franco," she said, unable to hide the surprise in her voice. "What are you doing here?" He didn't even spare her a glance, but simply held out a piece of paper. "We're here to question Francisco," he said gruffly. "Is he home?" Araceli was taken aback by the coldness in his voice. She had loved Franco once, but he had shattered her heart when he left without a word. And now, here he was, acting as if she meant nothing to him. Yes, Francisco is home," she said,

    "You should be careful." Rafael warned Araceli. "I know, Francisco must be onto something, now that I think about it, he wouldn't have placed the engagement on the line. I know how obsessed he is with me. He is up to no good." She plopped on the bed. The soft rustling sound of the sheet could be heard as her hands clenched it tight. Rafael asked Araceli, "So, what are you going to do about the deal with Francisco? Are you really going to go through with framing Franco for a crime just to break off your engagement?" Araceli looked down at her hands, tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't know, Rafael. I'm so torn. On the one hand, I feel betrayed by Franco for getting adopted and leaving me behind all those years ago. But on the other hand, I don't want to ruin his life by getting him fired from his job. I just don't know what to do." Rafael put his arm around Araceli and gave her a comforting hug. "I know it's a tough decision, but you have to do what's best for you. Just remem
