LUCKY BILLIONAIRE

12

Back at Alejandro's mansion, he was still restless.

Miguel, on the other hand, was thinking about what possible way to protect themselves. He went into Alejandro's room to discuss with him.

“Alejandro, I think that we should move to another place, like a more secluded place. We are being monitored, and our security guards are not strong enough. Can you imagine they ran away during the attack?” Miguel said, touching Alejandro's chest.

“Who are they? And what exactly do they want?” Alejandro asked.

“I don't know, but we must leave here right now before things get worse. Remember Sophia is pregnant with your baby.”

“I don't want anything to happen to my baby. I have to protect my baby,” he snapped his hand away, pacing around all stressed up.

“That's why we must go into hiding before we find back up plans and all the information to help us. Think, Ale,” Miguel responded and started to pack everything important, including clothes and a computer.

Alejandro was so anxious; this is the first time he is facing such a thing and it is even worse than the way his in-laws treat him. He now understands the saying that power is death. He also began to pack up his belongings.

“Get up, Sophia, you need to leave the mansion and return to your family house tonight,” Alejandro woke up Sophia who was sleeping.

“Why?” She asked with a sleepy eye.

“It's because we are in danger. We don't know what the people responsible for the shooting want.”

“No. I am not leaving. I will stay here until I successfully give birth,” Sophia said, holding her belly. Her mood is worse because she is pregnant and she doesn't want to leave the mansion and go back to her family house.

The main reason she came back to Alejandro is because of his wealth. She wants to flaunt it to the world and enjoy every bit of it to the very end and now he wants him to return home? What will she tell her friends?

“No, I'm not leaving.” She said again and pulled the cover over her head.

“You need to get it together, the two of you. Do you want to die here? Well, I don't want to die yet,” Miguel yells at them knowing that's the only way to convince them to leave the mansion.

“Please, Sophia, it's just for a few days until we have gotten information about who's behind all this,” Alejandro said.

But Sophia remained adamant.

“We're wasting so much time, Ale.”. Miguel said impatiently. “Let her come with us, I think that would be more preferable.”

Sophia nodded her head and also started packing up her things immediately.

All she wants is for everything to return back to normal in time so she can enjoy a wealthy life with her baby, stealing all of Alejandro's money.

They got into an SUV, and Miguel drove them to his former apartment, downtown.

The farmhouse is located far away from the city, and it will be hard to notice that they are gone and they are staying at a place like this.

The drive was long but they finally got there and settled down.

It was a one bedroom apartment and not very spacious. Sophia was asked to sleep in the bedroom while Alejandro and Miguel stayed in the sitting room.

“Ah,” Miguel had a sigh of relief. “So now what are we going to do next?”

“I don't know. We should protect each other first and then find the information we need about those people, and why they are after me,” Alejandro sighed, still worried.

"I think we need to call Mr. Lopez. He's the only one who's capable of helping us in this situation."

"Yeah. I think so," Alejandro said and dialed Mr. Lopez's number. The phone rang for a few moments before Mr. Lopez picked it up.

"Hola!" Mr. Lopez responded and sounded worried. "Alejandro, what did I hear in the news? That some gunmen interrupted your marriage."

"Yes, yes Mr. Lopez. It is that bad. Right now, I am not at my mansion. I had to leave with my wife and friend."

"Do you know anyone responsible for it?" Mr. Lopez asked him.

"No, I do not know. Only that the gunmen left a note.”

“What was written on the paper?” Mr. Lopez asked.

Alejandro took out the paper from his pocket and read it out. “Return what's mine.”

“I think I know what they mean by that.” Mr. Lopez said and cleared his throat.

Miguel moved closer to Alejandro to hear what Mr Lopez was saying. “What is it?” He asked eagerly.

“I think it's about the lottery money that you won. It could be that people found out about it and they are after the money, or the real owner of the lottery is not happy that you found it and now he wants his money back” Mr. Lopez said.

“What do you suggest we should do now?” Alejandro asked him.

“Listen, Mr. Garcia, you are in a position of power, you don't need to act like a coward. First you need to learn somethings. You need to be strong also, and build your own empire. Call those in charge of your business right now and reassure them that your okay. Command them to tighten up the security around all your businesses.”
