Chapter 30The next day was a Sunday. It was a bright morning, and the mansion grounds were bustling with activity. The new gardener was trimming hedges, while a few maids hurried about their chores. At the gate, Martin, the elderly gateman, was performing his usual duties, meticulously inspecting everyone entering and leaving.A sleek, black car pulled up at the gate, and Oscar stepped out. Dressed in an expensive tracksuit and sunglasses, he looked around with a smug expression. He gestured impatiently at Martin, his tone sharp.“Hurry up, old man! Do you want me to stand here all day?” Oscar snapped, leaning against the car. “Open the gate already!”Martin, used to dealing with difficult people, remained calm but couldn’t hide the slight frown forming on his face. “I’m just doing my job, sir. Could you please confirm your identity?”Oscar scoffed, pulling off his sunglasses. “I’m Sophia’s gym instructor. She’s expecting me. Now stop wasting my time and open the gate!”Martin nodded
Chapter 29Nathan and Jackson left Jackson's room with purposeful strides, their conversation still buzzing in their minds. The tension was palpable as they navigated the winding corridors of Alejandro’s mansion.“Where could he be right now?” Nathan said, his tone edged with frustration.Jackson, clutching his laptop, shrugged. “Theo’s always moving around. Let’s check his room.”They turned down the hall and knocked on Theo’s door. After a few moments of silence, Nathan tried the handle, but the room was empty.“Not here,” Jackson muttered, glancing around.Nathan sighed. “Let’s try the gym. He’s been in there a lot lately.”The two made their way downstairs to the gym. The faint sound of weights clinking and rhythmic grunts echoed down the hall as they approached. Inside, they found Jake Turner, shirtless and dripping with sweat, in the middle of a vigorous set of pull-ups.Jake noticed them in the mirror and smirked. “What’s up, nerds?” he said, dropping down from the bar and grab
Chapter 28Morning at Jackson’s QuartersThe next day, Theo stood outside Jackson’s room, his knuckles rapping firmly on the wooden door. The hallway was quiet, with the faint hum of morning activity echoing from the kitchen below. After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing Jackson in sweatpants and a loose hoodie, his hair slightly disheveled.“Theo? You’re up early,” Jackson said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “What’s going on?”“We need to talk,” Theo said, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation. His face was stern, his tone clipped. Jackson frowned, shutting the door behind him.“What’s the urgency?” Jackson asked, gesturing to a chair for Theo to sit.Theo ignored the offer and remained standing, crossing his arms. “It’s about Sophia,” he began. “You’ve heard the story she’s spinning, right? That she ‘escaped’ from Diego Morales?”Jackson snorted, walking over to the mini-fridge to grab a bottle of water. “Yeah, cock and bull if you ask me. No way Diego just l
Chapter 27Early Morning at Alejandro’s mansionThe morning sun cast a soft glow over Alejandro’s mansion as Alejandro paced back and forth in the living room. He hadn’t slept all night, worry etched on his face. Miguel sat on the couch, sipping his coffee, while Theo stood near the window, scanning the surroundings for anything suspicious.“Still no word from her?” Alejandro asked, his voice thick with exhaustion.Miguel shook his head. “I’ve got Jack working on the tracker on her dress. If Diego has her, it’s not going to be easy to get her back, Ale.”“She’s carrying my child, Miguel,” Alejandro said, running a hand through his disheveled hair. “I can’t just give up.”Theo spoke up from his position near the window. “Wait, I think I just saw her walk through the gate.”Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from outside. Alejandro turned toward the door, his heart pounding.The door burst open, and there stood Sophia, her hair disheveled, her clothes torn in a way that su
Chapter 26DIEGO'S DUNGEONSophia slowly opened her eyes, her head pounding with the remnants of the unconsciousness that had overtaken her earlier. As the haze of confusion lifted, she realized she wasn’t in her luxurious bedroom at Alejandro’s mansion anymore. The air was thick with dampness, the scent of mildew stinging her nose. She tried to move, but the ropes around her wrists cut into her skin, restraining her. Panic set in as she tried to look around.She was in a dark, cold room. The walls were stone, covered with what appeared to be damp patches of moss. There was no window, just a single flickering light bulb hanging above her. She couldn’t tell how long she had been here or how she had gotten here. One thing was clear—she was in trouble. A lot of trouble.The door creaked open, and in walked Diego Morales, his figure tall and imposing. His smile was cold, calculating, like a predator toying with its prey. Sophia froze, her stomach sinking at the sight of him. This man was
Chapter 25Alejandro was having his training session with Theo when Miguel walked into the training room.“I have got every detail about the party and I will forward it to you,” he said and dropped a stylish black suit on the table. “It's a game-costume party so you'll be wearing that.”“Okay,” Alejandro said breathlessly as he threw another punch at Theo who blocked him. “Also, get me a costume-made dress for Sophia, I need her to come with me. You realize they won't let me in if I don't come with my partner.”Miguel hesitated, “But you should keep a very close eye on her. If she tries to act smart, kick her out.”“Relax, Miguel. Sophia is changed now, for real.” Alejandro continued with his boxing, leaving Miguel to shout it out.They had a very perfect plan for tonight and they believe that it is going to work out perfectly.Inside, Alejandro and two of the team members would locate Diego Morales and there, he would confront him and have a conversation with him, while Miguel and th
In the Great Pyramid Casino, Alejandro rushed into his office. “How did this happen?” He asked Miguel.“All the evidence was cleared before we got here, and we barely managed to put the fire down.” “What do you mean?” he asked confused“There was a fire and the CCTV footage was tampered with, we don't know who did it.” Miguel said furiously to Alejandro.“It must be Diego Morales, we need to find him and put an end to all of this.” Alejandro slammed his hands on the table. This whole issue was getting him infuriated. “You need to calm down bro, calm down,” Miguel said softly. “We need to sort this out, intelligently. First we need to know who sent you that warning earlier today.”Alejandro nodded his head.“We need to get in touch with whoever that person is. You have seen the person was really trying to help, right? What you have to do is text them back and wait for a response.”“How about the stranger from yesterday?” Alejandro asked Miguel.“I've ordered Jackson to look into it,
Meanwhile, during their work break, Miguel and Alejandro were seated in the casino’s dining room with a buffet on the table. Various juicy and jaw dropping dishes laid on the table. “So what do you think we should do about this?” Miguel asked. He was talking about the wallet of the strange man.“We should check out the wallet and find out what's inside or what do you think?"Miguel stroked his chin at Alejandro's question. "It's a good idea, but you need to be really careful, we don't know what is inside or what this person wants and I don't want you to get hurt.” he said and took a bite of his doughnut. "Don't worry bro, everything is going to be fine, okay?” Alejandro reassured him but within he's deeply concerned about it. “Okay, but what about Sophie?" “What about her?" he wrinkled his smooth face at Miguel's question.“She hired a gym instructor, are you in support of that?” Miguel asked.“Yea she said she needs to keep fit so I let her hire him.”“I think they are familiar w
CASINOJackson followed Miguel to the office, Miguel went to Alejandro's office and knocked before entering. He told him his plans about employing Jackson to work with them in the casino and his reasons for that “Wow, that's cool, quickly you can begin the meeting with the gaming team.”“How about your meeting with the board?” Miguel asked him.“I have called for the board meeting but they are not ready yet so I guess I'll be present at the gaming team meeting with you guys.”“Sure no problem.”They went to the conference room where everyone was already seated.“So this is your new team leader and Vincent will be his assistant. He is going to introduce the new project with you guys.” Miguel began the meeting by introducing Jackson to them.Jackson greeted everyone and bowed to them slightly and turned on the screen. “So this is all what the new project is all about…” He explained everything on the tab to them and they all listened attentively.“Nice,* Miguel whispered to Alejandro. “
