All Chapters of One Million Reais : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Louisa's p.o.v;After the party, I went to my place. I changed my clothes and took a look at the recipe I got from Lily. After looking at the recipe, I decided to bake the cake so that it'll rest for a day. I placed the ingredients I needed for the batter and for the frosting on the kitchen table. First, I started with the process of burnt honey. It is not literally burning but caramelising the honey. I took a saucepan, poured honey and turned the flame to medium and stirred it continuously. Lily told me to cook the honey for eight to ten minutes so let's do it like she said. After ten minutes, the honey turned caramel in colour so I turned off the flame and added a few drops of cold water to stop it from cooking further. I set aside the burnt honey to cool down and took another saucepan to heat butter, sugar, burnt honey and regular honey altogether. After five minutes, I added baking soda and started whisking it until the colour changed while giving tiny bubbles. After it cooled

Louisa's p.o.v;After finishing my work in the cafe, I went to my apartment. I looked around for Ace forgetting what happened yesterday. When it hit, I felt confused about myself. Why did I search for him in the first place? Wasn't I just a fling for him? Let's stop thinking about him.When I dropped on the couch, I remembered the cake I made for Ace. How did I forget it? What am I going to do with the cake now? Back in the cafe, when Ryan and Lily asked for the cake, I said that I hadn't started preparing yet. I can't believe I lied shamelessly for a cake. Urggh!I opened the refrigerator, took the cake out and walked out of the apartment, closing the door behind. After some hours, I stood in front of Ace's house. I must be really crazy to come here. I ringed and waited outside the house. Someone opened the door and asked for my identity. While I was explaining, Mateo saw me and asked, "Louisa, what are you doing here?" He told the guy who opened the door to leave and asked me to c

Louisa's p.o.v;I woke up to the alarm which I forgot to turn off again. After turning it off, I got out of the bed and walked to the kitchen since I felt hungry as I woke up. When I opened the refrigerator, it was empty. Did I forget to buy groceries again? It's difficult to get used to living alone after having a roommate around. After a shower, I must hit a convenience store otherwise I have to go to nearby food stalls again. I took the egg out of the refrigerator and made Scrambled eggs out of it. After having scrambled eggs for breakfast, I took a shower and walked out of the apartment to go to a convenience store. After a while, I arrived at the convenience store. I looked for bread, eggs, butter and cheese which is the easiest breakfast to prepare in the morning once I wake up. Once I got everything, I walked around to look for instant noodles. Since I'm going to stay at my apartment during the holidays, should I look for another part time job? If I wanted to go, what kind o

Louisa's p.o.v;At cafe, Ryan, "Why are you here early?" I leaned on the table and said, "It's so boring being alone at my place. Do you know some cafes that are looking for a part timer?" "There's a reason why they're giving you a holiday after an exam. You should make use of it by taking a rest for your mind and body.""But I'm bored.""What will you do when you're usually on holiday?""I watch movies and order some takeaways.""Is that how you really spend your time?"I nodded and asked, "How do you spend yours?" "I'll go trekking with my friends, mountain climbing and camping stuff.""Sounds fun.""Why don't you try it and see if it's fun?""First, I should have friends to do those things. I don't have many friends like you. I totally have two friends. Bernardo and Diego. It became three when I got close to Bernardo's girlfriend, Everly.""Why don't you pay a visit to your parents since you're free?" I let out a sigh and said, "Won't you miss me if i go?""I won't.""You're n

FOUR YEARS LATERLouisa's p.o.v;I let out a yawn as I leaned back in my seat while looking at the report which I was holding in my hand. Raphael, "What is that?" "Autopsy report of my case I've been handling." "Why are you staring at it for so long? Where did you get stuck?" I sat straight and placed the report on the table saying, "It was mentioned that colourless liquid was found in the victim's body in an antifreeze system. When I gave it to the lab, they said it was ethylene glycol which poisoned her to death. I've investigated her parents, friends and her ex-boyfriends but they didn't have anything against her to poison her. I'm thinking about other possibilities for her cause of death.""I can't believe you are stuck in a case. Aren't you smarter than all of us here?""You don't have to say it like that. I'm like everyone else too.""Didn't you say she went to a bar before going home. Did you check the place? Since you said the poison was found in an antifreeze state. There
