All Chapters of One Million Reais : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Louisa's p.o.v;At college,I placed the books on the librarian's desk and asked her, "Do you know who kept these books in the literature section?" "Why? What's wrong?""These books were supposed to be in the philosophy section but I found it in the literature while I was arranging the new books.""Then rearrange it.""I didn't get the answer why these books were in the wrong section yet." "Maybe Laura misplaced it. She's new and learning so let it go. And, help her with the nonfiction section too, she was struggling when i saw her. Before that, Get these books to the philosophy section.""Where's this Laura you're talking about? Why couldn't I see her around?""She works on alternate days unlike you. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday." I nodded and took the books from the librarian table and walked out of her cabin to arrange the books in the philosophy section where it was supposed to be in the first place. After I'm done with my work, I came to pick up the books from the table. I s

Louisa's p.o.v;I came to the room, slammed the door behind and sat on the bed thinking, 'What am I going to do now? The man I was looking for is dead now. Who has the red stone now? Who should I ask for it? Whom should I go after to get it?' Number of questions raised inside my head gave me a little headache.I heard knocks on the door. Ignored and thought about the red stone's whereabouts.The door was opened and Ace walked in while asking, "What did you do behind me? How did you know that guy? And, what were you blabbering about the red stone?"I let out a sigh and asked, "Do you know why Paulo, the Pandora gang leader, kidnapped me?"He shook his head and said, "I thought he was using you to get to me. But he wasn't when I got a call from Edgar instead of Paulo." "The night when you took Bernie and me as a hostage, I saw the guy's face who stole the bag from the hostess to whom Bernie gave the stone that night. Paulo knows, that's why he kidnapped me to get him through me. I lied

Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up from my sleep, I realised that I was in my apartment. How did I get here? My clothes were changed. Wasn't I in a car with Ace? Did he change my clothes? I got up from the bed and saw Ace walking into my room. "What are you doing?" I inquired.He placed the vessel he was holding on the nearby table and said, "I got hot water for you.""Hot water? I meant, what are you doing here? At my place?""I thought I'll drop you at your place and head to mine but you were asleep and didn't wake up. So when I tried to lift you up, you were burning… the point is you have a fever." He placed some tablets on the table saying, "I bought medicines nearby for your fever. And for the hot water…"Before he finished, I asked, "Didn't Bernie ask you anything?""He wasn't here when we came here.""How did you open the door?" "I found the key in your coat." "Since I'm awake now, leave my apartment." "I'll leave after giving you a sponge bath. You're still burning.""What!? W

Louisa's p.o.v;Bernie asked me while I was preparing to eat dinner, "Where did you go?" "I went to return the books back to the library."He nodded and started eating his food. He's been silent since I came back from the library. Weird."How was the movie?" I asked."Yeah, good."I nodded and continued eating. Definitely, something's wrong. After we finished eating, we went to our rooms quitely which is new. He always talks a lot about his day and about his girlfriend but it didn't happen today. I came to my room and dropped on the bed. Is something wrong between them? But they didn't look like they had a dispute with each other. Or did Bernie find out about Ace? Whatever, Let's wait till he speaks so I'll ask him tomorrow if this continues. Suddenly, Bernardo knocked on my door like hell. What is wrong with him? I opened the door and asked, "What is it?" "I'm moving out." He said while ignoring my eyes.That was a different answer which I didn't expect from him. "Why?" "No o

Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up, I saw Ace sleeping beside me. I smiled without my knowledge after seeing him sleeping peacefully. I remembered the kiss last night. It was really a good one. While I was grinning while remembering it, I remembered another thing. He didn't sleepwalk last night. "When do you wake up?" He asked, patting my head.I asked, "Did I wake you up?" He shaked his head and looked at me. "What is it?" He moved closer to me and pulled me into a quick kiss and said, "I thought it was a dream, But it's real. I couldn't believe it's you who initiated the kiss." And he smiled at me. "Stop teasing me. Hey, about your sleepwalking, does this occur every night or randomly?""Every Night. Why do you ask?""Because you didn't sleepwalk last night." "What?" "Yeah, it came as a surprise to me as well.""Is it because of the kiss?""What?""This could be a way. I think you have to kiss me every night to stop me from sleepwalking.""Huh?"While I was staring at him being c
