The flight is quiet and everyone is in their seat, minding their business. Melody and Duke are sitting close to each other, but haven't said a word to each other. Bloom is far away from them, just pressing away at his face. Every now and then he steals a glance at them, but he always looks away, almost immediately. Duke stretches his legs and then crosses them, Melody is holding a fashion magazine that she hasn't opened for hours. " Would you like a snack?" He asks her. " I'm fine, I just need some water, please. " She says. " Bloom– don't bother, I will get it." He stands to his feet and walks out of the cabinet. It's just two of them and it's like Duke is the bad vibe because the atmosphere becomes less dense the very instant that he leaves. Melody turns around and it happens that Bloom is looking at her and they just smile away. " Welcome back. " He comments. " Um, thanks. " She doesn't know what else to say. " I don't mean to be a killJoy, but I am not going to stay fo

Of course, Duke didn't kill the boy, he killed himself, but this is a whole misunderstood situation and his father is mad. Duke wouldn't have felt a thing if the mad father in question is not Alejandro. Alejandro is the devil in flesh and doesn't have any warmth or human sympathy in him. Duke has fought a lot of people and he has killed a lot, but he has even involuntarily avoided Alejandro. If there is one man that Duke doesn't want to get involved with, it's Alejandro. The man is feared and avoided even by the government. They don't associate with him and they are lucky that they aren't his cup of tea. "Duke? Duke? Where'd you go? This is pretty serious, damn it." She curses. He hasn't left anywhere, he has just gotten lost in his thoughts and now she has brought him back to reality. " Eden, are you sure of this?" He asks. " Yes, I overheard his conversation. Duke, are you going to be okay?" She is worried. " I didn't kill the boy, he killed himself right in front of me,"

" Why did you leave Melody all by herself?" Eden isn't happy. " With all that is happening with Alejandro, don't you think that was kind of dumb?"" She is better without me, she will be safe. Besides, Bloom is there too." He assures her. Eden laughs and covers her mouth. " I don't mean to be mean, but Bloom also needs protection. " She chuckles. " Have you seen him fight? Ansel's men beat the hell out of him."" That's because he didn't want to fight. " Duke is looking at his phone. " Bloom is actually lethal, but his innocent look folks, everyone." " I see."The doorbell rings and they exchange glances. Eden struggles to her feet and starts to half run to the door. " Remember what you promised me. " She whispers strongly. " No fighting. "He waves his hand as if to say that he hasn't forgotten and he would still do as she had wanted. She gets to the door and opens it. Ansel is standing in front of her, his coat wet with rain. " You said it's urgent. " He murmurs. " I came alo

They touch down in Mexico City late afternoon and the scorching sun greets them. The place is as hot as an oven and maybe it's just the environment telling Duke that he is not welcome. A line of cars is waiting for them outside of the plane, Duke can see this outside of the window. " This is it, man. " Ansel takes off his fastener. " Hope you are ready."" I am. "" One more thing, before we leave. " Ansel looks straight at him. " No weapons on you, right?"" Of course not, I am not going there to fight him. " Duke scoffs. " I just have to remind you because it might get you killed. " Ansel warns." I don't have any of that on me. " Duke answers. " If you say so, I just want to help you." Ansel raises his hands in surrender. He stands to his feet and Duke does the same. Ansel leads the way out of the plane, he steps into the brightness of the sun. "Juan!" He shakes the hand of the first man. " Ansel, hola!" The man, Juan greets. He is in a suit and has dark shades on, he doe

Ansel is smiling like he has won some kind of lottery and at this point, Duke is convinced that his sister has gotten down with a psychopath. " Tell me. " Ansel puts his hand against his chin. " How did you find out?"" It was all your master plan, wasn't it?" Duke fires back his question. " Why don't you tell me?" Ansel lets out a happy exhale and then looks at Duke. " Well, I am going to tell you. It all started when you won't just let Eden and I be. " Ansel starts. " God, you were such a pain and I wanted you gone. I couldn't be directly involved with trying to kill you because your sister will find out. So I plotted it out."" It wasn't hard for you, was it?" Duke nods. " Absolutely not. " Ansel beams. " Not when I have every leader of the military on my payroll, including the freaking president! It took one call to send you straight to Padre island!"" Where your boys were working and where Ethan was your intern." Duke looks out of the window, almost speaking to himself. " E
