Dead Ends Chapter 21
We arrived at my mansion so I could get my stuff and I took the opportunity to leave some instructions for my staff members.The ride back to his place was a comfortable silent one as our minds were placed on different dimensions of our thoughts. He stopped at a toy store to pick up a teddy bear and a new set of dolls for Esmè and I couldn't help but admire the way he loves and adore his daughter. The moment he returned I fixed my eyes out of the window but the strong aroma of chicken Taquitos filled my nostrils and I shifted my gaze to my left to find him holding out a bag filled with snack. His little act of care stirred up lots of emotions within but i shut them down and decided not to ponder on it, instead I took it as just a generous and humane act. I murmured a thank you and took it from his hold all the while i ignored his to avoid getting hypnotized by them. Staring in his eyes makes me feel a little bit out of control and that's something I can't handle.We got to the mansio

"Remember all you have to say?" The lady he was talking to gave him a firm nod and with that he dismissed her. "Riccardo what's going on?"He looked up from his laptop to stare at me. "Witnesses for the case" my brows shut up and he exhaled cause he knew he needed to give explanation. "Just trust me on this Maja, everything will be fine" he assured me. I do trust in his capability but what bugged me was how he got the said witnesses and the evidence that was oblivious to me. "You aren't going to give an explanation?" He said nothing which was the answer to my question. I rolled my eyes and got up from the chair to go get ready for the hearing.I finished getting ready and went out to find Riccardo waiting for me already and looking all ravishing in his glory. The black tuxedo clung to his body like a second skin, showing a perfect curve of all his muscles. His face was buried in a file and the way his brows furrowed and flattened at every line he read had me creaming my panty. I call

"If you were really there then why didn't you report the crime immediately?" She angrily shot at her and Deborah began sobbing."You are right Attorney Alicia but I couldn't bring myself to report to the police cause it was traumatizing. I saw the way they st.... I can't, I'm sorry" she sobbed harder and because of her breakdown she was given some moment to pull herself together. She's quite skilled. I complimented her actions in my head."We're sorry for making you remember the gruesome events that may have happened that day but we need your testimony Deborah" Riccardo said and she nodded then she cleaned her eyes and pretended to pull herself so she could start talking again."Deborah how was Mr Castillo murdered?" Riccardo asked. "I saw him get stabbed repeatedly" I noticed Alicia looked at her alliances to confirm if she was saying the truth and they nodded which made her clench her jaw in fury."Where did you go after the scene?" Riccardo asked."I fled back to my apartment befor

Following the direction Mr Herrera sent to me I arrived at the Fernandez house. A simple story building occupied the land. The golden lights blasting from the inside mixed up with the white exterior to dash out a modern and elegant look.I parked my car a safe distance from the house and constantly glancing at my wrist watch as I waited for the right time to strike. I dork my head at the sight of a speeding car that drove towards the gates of the house and brought my head back once the car had disappeared behind the gate. I put my shade on and drove a little further to have a closer look at what was going on inside.I found Alicia getting down from the car and walking into the arms of an old man and I could tell who he was already. I watched her speak to him with a pout and look of annoyance on her face and I figured out she was probably telling her daddy about her loss.I smirked and shook my head while my eyes scanned the shiny blade in my hand with admiration. "Enjoy your last mome

By the time I had arrived at Riccardo's the lights were turned off already signaling they were asleep already. I got to my room and quickly went into the bathroom to get calmed by the spluttering pour of cold water. Though it didn't help in washing away the strong emotions I was feeling it did help in giving a clear head for thinking.I settled in a silk night shorts and a matching shirt. I knotted my hair into a bun and left my room for the kitchen. In no time I located the light switch and flipped it on. I walked towards the fridge and pulled out a can of freezing soda and left the kitchen to the gardenThe orange flavored liquid succeeded in burning my thirst and quenching the fire in my insides. I shut my eyes and ran my palm down my face cause this was that point in life where one feels helpless and lost.There were too many puzzles with so many missing blocks out there for me to fix and seemed like the more I try to fix the puzzles, the more complicated it becomes. I had no one

I stayed up in my room reading the black book don gave to me some time last week but i realized it was the translated version of what Claudia told me about.For the hundredth time that day I glanced through the list of allies whose names were inscribed in the book and i was totally lost cause no name seemed familiar and i was frustrated cause I didn't know who I could trust. Fuck everything felt like a dead end. I cursed and raked my hands in my hair.I shut the book and groaned in frustration. I was disrupted by the soft knock of someone. Immediately I figured out it was Esmeralda I hurriedly cleared my bed from the files and other stuff that didn't need to be seen by her."Mamá, can I come in?" I heard her soft voice call from the other end as I walked towards the door to unlock it. I opened it to find her staring up at me with a sheepish look and then I realized she was dressed already which caused me to smile."Is that what you gonna' wear and follow mamá?" I crossed my arms and r

"Don this is fucking confusing. What do you mean I have a mysterious person willing to help me, all I have to do is trust her? Do you really expect me to fucking do that. C'mon this isn't a game" I ignored the fact the woman sitting opposite me could literally just slit my neck or put a bullet right into my skull, all I wanted to do was to vent out the rage I was feeling in me.Surprisingly she remained silent and the atmosphere around worked under the power of the deafening silence. Her perfectly made maroon acrylic tapped on the glass table, her face hidden behind the cover of the hood while she probably had her eyes boring in mine. "Are you done?" She asked in the iciest voice ever. I gave no reply and just ran my fingers in my hair."Would it be any better if I told you I know who it is" i scoffed and shook my head in disbelief. "Then why the fuck can't I know? What's so special or so dangerous about this person's identity?" I almost yelled which did me no good. She was hovering

The next day I went to the college at the given time and went straight to the vice chancellor's office. Luckily, it was opened which saved me stress of having to break the lock or something. I flipped the lights on to find my psychology lecturer, Mr Felix twirling on the swivel chair. He smiled at me causing the side of his lips to fold into light wrinkle.It's just five years after i graduated how did he age so quickly? I wondered. "Mr Felix" I acknowledged and he stood up from the chair. "It's good to see you again my very wonderful student. You know why I always said you were my best student?" I gave no reply and let the silence speak for me."It's because you were the only one I saw using my course for its advantage, now look at you. Do you know how much the mafia organization under your power and allies of your father earn cause of your good works? Whenever I hear of it I always feel proud and happy to have been your psychology lecturer"."Your compliment is well appreciated Mr
