The Ultimate Return of Carlos 85
Carlos’s hand shook as the cold metal of the gun pressed against Edgar’s forehead. His finger hovered over the trigger, but there was no rush, no panic. This was his moment. He'd been waiting for this confrontation for what felt like an eternity. Sweat trickled down his temple as his heartbeat thrummed loudly in his ears. The adrenaline coursing through his veins kept him on edge. His lips curled into a cold smile as he looked Edgar dead in the eye.“If you’ve got any last words, Edgar, now’s the time to say them.”The room was so tense you could hear the distant hum of machinery, the faint creak of old metal, and the harsh breathing of everyone present. Edgar’s remaining men stood motionless, guns still holstered but completely useless. Toby held them at gunpoint, both pistols unwavering in his hands as he stood a few feet away. His eyes flicked between the remaining guards and Edgar, waiting for the first sign of trouble. Toby’s fingers were tense on the triggers, but he wouldn’t fi
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 86
As the car pulled into the underground parking lot beneath Carlos's apartment, the tense silence that had followed them since the last heated exchange gave way to a new wave of exhaustion. The hum of the engine died down, replaced by the soft echo of footsteps as they all exited the vehicle, shadows dancing under the dim yellow lights overhead. The air smelled faintly of oil and concrete— an unwelcoming scent, but familiar in its own way.Carlos rubbed his neck, feeling the tension that had settled there. His eyes darted around the parking lot, as if expecting trouble to emerge from the dark corners at any moment. Old habits, he supposed. Olivia was beside him, her posture as rigid and controlled as always. Jon and Toby trailed a few steps behind, with Deon’s men, silent as ever, taking up the rear. They were like shadows— faceless, emotionless, and entirely too dangerous to underestimate."Let’s get inside before anything else happens tonight," Carlos muttered, the weariness creeping

'A FEW YEARS LATER'Carlos stirred in bed, feeling the warmth of the early morning sun filter through the curtains of their cozy bedroom. He blinked his eyes open, the soft amber light painting the room with a serene glow. Beside him, Olivia’s bare skin glistened in the light, the delicate rise and fall of her chest in sync with her soft breaths. He couldn’t help but smile. Five years had passed since the chaos that had nearly torn their lives apart, and now, in the quiet of their home in Riverdale, things felt almost perfect.He rolled over, brushing a strand of hair from her face, his fingers trailing gently down her cheek. Olivia stirred, her eyes fluttering open. Her lips curled into a sleepy smile as she stretched, her body pressing against his.“Mmm, morning,” she whispered, her voice still heavy with sleep.Carlos leaned down, kissing her softly, his hand sliding down her waist, pulling her closer. “Morning,” he murmured against her lips, the feel of her skin against his igniti
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 88
Carlos could feel the tension in the car long before they reached his office building. The twins, Alex and Alexa, had already been dropped off at school, and now it was just him and Olivia. She was focused on the road, her face calm as she navigated the morning traffic, but Carlos knew better than to think things were fine. The silence was heavy, the kind that spoke louder than words. As they pulled into the spacious parking lot of his office building, Carlos spotted a familiar vehicle ahead: a blue G-Wagon. His stomach sank. He didn't need this today. The G-Wagon belonged to Cedric, the same man who had put Carlos in the hospital a while back.The car came to a sudden stop just as Olivia was about to park. Cedric had swung his G-Wagon into their path, blocking their way. Olivia slammed on the brakes, her grip on the steering wheel tightening as the tires screeched on the asphalt.“What’s his problem?” Olivia muttered under her breath, her eyes narrowing as she watched Cedric’s car i

Carlos leaned back in his office chair, exhaling a deep breath as the quiet hum of the computer died down. The day had been long— too long, in fact— but now it was finally over. He rubbed his temples, still feeling the dull ache from the confrontation that morning. Cedric’s fists had done a number on him, but he had managed to get through the day without raising too much suspicion. The pile of work on his desk was neatly organized, and with a satisfying click, he shut his monitor off. The office was eerily quiet at this hour. Most of his colleagues had left, and the familiar silence that followed after a busy workday descended upon the floor. Carlos stood up, stretched his stiff muscles, and moved toward the door. He needed to inform Jenna, his assistant, about his upcoming vacation— his first in months. A trip to his parents’ place in Mississippi seemed like the perfect escape. He could already feel the tension starting to ease just at the thought of leaving everything behind for a

Carlos woke up to the sound of birds chirping faintly outside the window, the warm morning sun peeking through the blinds. He stretched his arms, blinking against the sunlight that filtered through the room. Beside him, Olivia lay nestled under the covers, her blond curls spilling over the pillow. He smiled, his gaze softening as he watched her for a moment, peaceful in her sleep. Gently, he slid out of bed, careful not to wake her just yet. Today was a special day— the long awaited family trip to Mississippi to visit his parents. It was a trip that had been delayed far too many times, and now that it was finally happening, there was an air of excitement in the house. Even Olivia, who had asked about meeting his parents several times over the years, was more eager than usual. Carlos quietly moved around the room, grabbing a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. But just as he was about to leave, Olivia stirred, her eyes fluttering open. She stretched lazily, yawning as she looked up at him

Carlos clapped his hands together, playing along with the mood Olivia set. "You heard your mom. Let’s get to it!"With that, the kids dashed off towards their rooms to gather their toys and anything else they deemed essential for the trip. Olivia and Carlos followed, heading towards their own room to finish packing their bags. As they entered the bedroom, Olivia pulled open the closet, eyeing the travel bags stacked neatly in the corner."You think we packed enough for the weekend?" she asked, half teasing, half worried.Carlos leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, smirking. "You? Overpack? Never."Olivia laughed as she pulled out a couple of shirts and folded them carefully into the suitcase. "I just want to be prepared, that’s all. You never know with kids."Carlos chuckled and moved closer, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind as she continued packing. "Hey, that’s why I love you. Always thinking ahead." He kissed the top of her head, and Olivia smiled, leaning back
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 92
As soon as breakfast was over and everything packed up, Carlos called the kids, “Alright, Alex, Alexa, let’s go. Mississippi isn’t gonna wait for us!” The kids, still buzzing with excitement, darted toward the front door. Olivia followed close behind, her smile radiant. Carlos jingled the car keys in his hand and glanced at Olivia with a playful grin."Think we can survive the long road trip with these two?" he teased, nodding toward the kids.Olivia chuckled, tossing her bag over her shoulder. "Barely. But let’s get on with it before we change our minds."As they loaded up the car, Alex insisted on having the window seat while Alexa wanted to sit in the middle. Olivia stepped in with her arms crossed. "Alright, kids, no fighting. Alex, you’ll sit by the window for the first half, and Alexa will switch when we stop. Fair?”Alexa pouted. "I don't wanna sit in the middle!" "You'll get your window seat soon, sweetheart," Carlos interjected as he strapped them in. "Now, who's ready for
