The Ultimate Return of Carlos 18: Into the Lion's Den
'LATE IN THE EVENING, THE FOLLOWING DAY.' Carlos, exhausted from the day's work and stress, lay sprawled on the couch in his living room. His white T-shirt was partly wrinkled, and his black pants and brogues still clung to him. A sudden vibration from his pocket interrupted his rest. Pulling out his phone, he saw Toby's name flashing on the screen. Not wanting to deal with it, he dropped his phone on the nearby glass table and let it ring out. Moments later, as he drifted into sleep, another vibration jolted him awake. Frustrated, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the phone, and with a long press on the side button, switched it off before placing it on his chest and attempting to resume his rest. After a while, now in a deep sleep, a familiar sound rang out. In his half - conscious state, it felt like a dream to Carlos. The persistent and consistent ringing of his doorbell finally pulled him back to reality. Groaning, he stood up from the couch and called out as he approached
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 19: A Night to Remember
As Carlos and Toby stepped into the mansion, they were immediately enveloped by the grandeur of the massive ballroom. The room was a breathtaking display of opulence: crystal chandeliers sparkled from the ceiling, casting a kaleidoscope of light across the walls, which were painted a soft gold and adorned with intricate, handcrafted designs. Every detail seemed to be a masterpiece in itself, contributing to the room's otherworldly beauty.Carlos, momentarily lost in awe, scanned the room with wide eyes. His head bobbed around, unable to maintain any semblance of composure. Turning to Toby, he couldn't contain his amazement and frustration. "How on earth did you manage to get an invite to this party?"Toby, clearly enjoying Carlos’s reaction, responded with a nonchalant grin, "Well, the host is a family friend."Carlos erupted into laughter at Toby’s response, his disbelief evident. "You wish! Are you serious?" His eyes searched Toby’s face for any hint of deception.Toby maintained his
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 20: A Night to Remember 2
"This is the celebrant, Senator Harvey's daughter, and her fiancé."Hearing this, the security team immediately called for medical assistance. Within minutes, paramedics arrived to tend to Abby and her fiancé. As they were being treated, one of the security guards approached Carlos and Toby, saying, "You two need to come with us. It's protocol. Until the senator's daughter and her fiancé wake up to confirm your stories, we can't be certain about what happened here. I hope you understand; we can't just take your word for it."Toby with an eyebrow raised, "What are you insinuating? Are you calling my friend a liar?"The security personnel responded calmly, "I'm not insinuating anything, sir. It's just protocol."Toby, his voice rising in frustration, retorted, "Protocol?..." But before he could continue, Carlos patted him from behind by the shoulder. "It's okay, man. The guy is just doing his job. Let's not make things harder for him."Toby, still fuming, replied, "There's nothing okay a
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 21: When Paths Collide
Carlos stood frozen in the doorway, staring at the unexpected visitor. "You? What are you doing here?" The lady at the door, eyes brimming with regret, said softly, "I came to apologize for what happened yesterday. I'm so sorry." Carlos's face darkened with anger. "First, how did you even know where I live? And why did you do that yesterday? Why lie? I saved you, and in return, I was mistreated and manhandled." Abby, her voice trembling, replied, "I know there's no excuse for what I did. I was scared for Philip. If my father found out what really happened, he would kill him. And I dont want that to happen. My actions were purely selfish, and for that, I am deeply sorry." Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. Carlos sighed, his voice cold. "It's Abby, right? Your apology doesn't erase the injustice I faced. And frankly, I do not forgive you. Leave now, or else I'll call the police on you." With that, he slammed the door shut. A few hours later, Carlos went down to the par
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 22: Beneath the Surface
Overwhelmed by shame and guilt, Abby quickly stood up and ran out of Carlos's apartment. Carlos, still processing what had just happened, remained frozen on the couch for a few moments before springing into action to chase after her. By the time he reached the parking lot, all he could see was the tail end of the SUV Abby had arrived in, speeding out of the building's driveway. Defeated, Carlos returned to his apartment and tried reaching his friend Toby, wanting to share what had happened. However, after several unanswered calls, he gave up for the night. The following day, just after settling into his office, Carlos decided to seek out Toby. He knocked on Toby's office door and heard his friend's familiar voice from within, telling him to come in. As Carlos stepped in, Toby looked up from his desk. "Hey man, it's you. You don't need to knock." "Well, it's the normal courtesy and the right thing to do," Carlos replied as he sat down. Toby grinned, "What brings you to my humb
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 23: The Woman in the Flames
A few days later, Carlos navigated his car through New York's bustling highway, the cityscape a blur of lights against the deepening evening sky. The day's fatigue weighed on him, but his focus remained sharp as his dash screen lit up with an incoming call from Abby. He tapped to answer, his voice steady despite his exhaustion. "Hey, what's up?" "I'm good," Abby's voice chimed in. "What are you up to?" "Just wrapped up a long day at work and heading home," Carlos replied, his eyes scanning the road ahead. "How about you?" "Just chilling in my room," she said casually, then added, "I’m calling to let you know my friend in the Secret Service is ready to meet." Carlos's grip on the steering wheel tightened, a surge of adrenaline cutting through his fatigue. "Really? When?" he asked, his voice brimming with anticipation. "Tonight," Abby said, her tone matter of fact. A grin spread across Carlos's face. "That's fantastic. Where should we meet?" "I'll text you the location late
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 24: Confrontations and Choices
Toby then turned to Abby. "Yes, that's who he's saying he saw."Abby looked at Carlos, her brow furrowed. "Are you sure?"Carlos shook his head dismissively. "Nah, it’s probably just an hallucination. I must have imagined it before I passed out."Just then, the doctor attending to Carlos entered the room, making his way to Carlos's bedside after exchanging greetings with Abby, Toby, and Trevon. He addressed Carlos, "How are you feeling, sir?"Carlos coughed uncomfortably before replying, "Feeling great, sir."The doctor assessed Carlos's injuries, asking, "Do you feel pain anywhere else?"Carlos winced slightly. "My ribs hurt really bad."The doctor nodded. "That's normal, considering you sustained multiple fractures on the right side of your ribs. Any other pain?"Carlos shook his head. "Not really, apart from the cramps I feel all over my body. Doctor, when will I be able to leave?"The doctor reviewed Carlos's file. "Soon, Mr. Wilson. We just need to run a few more tests, so as to p
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 25: Whispers and Desires
Arriving at their destination, Carlos gracefully opened the car door for Abby, his demeanor reflecting the gentleman he was. Abby stepped out, a smile of appreciation on her lips. “Thank you.” “The pleasure is mine,” Carlos replied warmly, offering her his arm as they made their way to the entrance of the five - star restaurant. As they entered, a polished staff member greeted them with enthusiasm. “Welcome to Q&W. We’re thrilled to have you.” Carlos nodded appreciatively. “We’re happy to be here.” With a courteous smile, the staff member led them to their reserved table. “This will be your seat. Your order will arrive shortly.” They settled into their seats just as another staff member approached with a tray of cocktails and treats. “Here are some appetizers to start. Your main course will be arriving soon.” Abby thanked the staff member, and they were left alone to enjoy their evening. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant, with soft music and candlelit tables creating a r
