Violet's POV
-Flashback-
It was a nice morning, when I noticed this light reflection coming from the garden of the vacation house. I acted as if I didn't see it so I can come up with a plan. Our men can't know about whoever is it that is watching us. If our men would realize what I know, they would be on high alert.
"Gilbert, what do we have for breakfast?" Gilbert looked at me like he knows something. I've always known that Gilbert was the traitor, but Franklin wouldn't listen to me. He was so keen on believing that Gilbert was one of his loyal men.
"Chelsey cooked some fried rice and bacon." He responded.
On my way to the kitchen, I saw a glimpse of a man hiding in the bushes. I knew we were being watched, but I didn't realize that they were this many. The the moment I saw one of them, I was able to figure out where the others are. They are not here to watch us, they're here to kill us.
Before I got the chance to tell our men about t
While Gonzalo, Darryl, and their men are all in Jericho, Tasha decided to visit her parents in New Mexico. She wanted to pass her available time until they come back. Her parents were so happy to see her again. But, they also worry about Patricia. Now that they know about Patricia and Gonzalo's way of life.She arrived in New Mexico by midnight, but her parents didn't mind. Her mother even cooked for her, and her father baked her favorite cake for desert. Tasha is happier to see her parents now, than when she hasn't accepted the death of her sister. Before, whenever she come to see her parents, she can't help but feel the guilt."You don't have to do this, guys. Sun's almost up." Tasha said to her parents."Oh, honey. It's been months since the last time that I cooked for you." Her mother responded."Your mother is right, Tasha. Just let us do this for you.""I love you, guys. I love you so much."The three of them hugged each other tightly.
Patricia's POV-Flashback-Felix never told me where we were going until we're at his private airport in Paris. When he said that he's taking to Catalonia, Spain, I had no idea that he will take to my mother's family. I have never met any relatives on my mother's side. Me and my always thought that mom was an only child and that she has no other family left.But, when arrived at Castillo de Zaragoza, that is when I realized that my mother came from not only a huge family, but also powerful, and very wealthy. Another surprising thing is that they know about me, even though I had no idea that they exist. They were all welcoming, and I can honestly feel how happy they were when Felix brought me home to them."¡Ay Dios mío! Te parecías a tu madre." Abuela Lucita exclaimed."No habla español, abuela." Felix said on my behalf."Oh, that's okay. I said you really looked like your mother. My sister, your mother's mother, s
Tasha and Darryl are both having their breakfast when Gonzalo arrived at the dining hall. Tasha was telling Darryl how she enjoyed being with her parents while they were in California. They also talked about Anthony who is currently in the Philippines with his Filipina girlfriend. But, their conversation was cut short when they saw how serious Gonzalo's face is.He's been like that since they went back home. According to Darryl, he became more workaholic than before. Focusing his attention to every business he has, both legal and illegal. He barely spend time at home. They also noticed that he's angrier than ever. Little things can set him off."Gonzalo, breakfast?" Tasha offered."Nah, I'll just have something later in the office."They both watch Gonzalo walked out of the house. Darryl looks genuinely concern about Gonzalo, and Tasha can clearly see it. He looks heartbroken, and they both can't do anything about it. As long as Patricia is still missing,
There's always the question of how two people meet and fall in love. Some people says it's science; chemistry to be exact. The increase of oxytocin in the body, along with other chemicals, that makes a person feels in love. The others, the more romantic ones, will argue that love is far complicated than what science claims. Those hopeless romantics says that love between two people is caused by fate. Two souls fated to meet long before they were even born.No one can actually explain how love between two complete strangers began. One thing for sure is that once you fall in love, there's no stopping it. It has been proven from time to time that love will definitely conquers all. Many have killed for love. Sometimes, love will bring out the worst in people, sometimes it will bring out the best."Santiago, we have the gang in downtown New York. They've agreed to work for us." Santiago smiled because of what he heard. It's time to bring down the chaos into the city that ne
Tasha's POVGonzalo sent me to New Mexico to stay with my parents until everything was taken cared of. He doesn't want me to be around in case things gets out of hand. The leader of the gang that started the incident in New York named him as the person who ordered the attack. We all know that Gonzalo didn't do it. I may not know everything about him or all the things that he do, but I know for sure that he would never do it, especially to his own city. Gonzalo's reputation is one of the things that he protects.My parents were both happy to see me safe, and unharmed, especially after they saw the news about what happened. They are even suggesting that I stay with them for good and to never come back to New York ever again. I even agree with them, at least until Patricia was found. Things are getting scarier by the day, and I don't know if I can still handle it."Sweetheart, Carlos is looking for you. That man has been waiting for you to come back. He likes you,
It's been twenty-four hours since she was taken. They haven't done anything to her, but they won't even let her go out. She was well-fed, aside from that, nothing. Patricia's been feeling frustrated because she won't be able to construct a plan to escape if she can't study their location. The only times that someone would come to her is to bring her food. For the last twenty-four house, she's been silently praying that God would bring her apologies to her parents. They specifically told her not to leave, but she didn't listen. If she did, not of this would have happened. She wouldn't have been taken. "Patricia, it is nice to finally meet you. One of the only two women who captured my son's heart. Have they been treating you well?" She can't clearly see the face of the standing outside her holding cell, but his voice was familiar. Older, but familiar. Even the way he carries himself, the way he stand, it was all to familiar to her. "Eerie, isn't it? My son lat
After talking to Gonzalo, Violet and Franklin had to come up with a plan on how they will rescue their daughter. Gonzalo wants a full on war, for him, it's the only to stop his father. But, Violet has a different plan in mind. War means casualty, and casualty means the attention of law enforcement, most likely, the media. They can't afford to get that much attention. Franklin is desperate to get his daughter back too, but he realized that his wife was right, they need to do it the smartest way possible. "Are you it's smart to send Gonzalo to his father? I mean, yes, he hates his old man, but he's still his father. There is no way that a son could hate a son could hate his father that much." Franklin said to his wife during lunch. "Not to Gonzalo. Honey, there's something that I didn't tell him." That statement made Franklin hang his next words mid-air. "You look stupid, honey. Close your mouth before a bug fly inside it." "What are you talking about?"
-Flashback- It's been a week since Patricia was taken Santiago Valnezuela. She hasn't seen the light of the sun or breathe fresh air since then. Why is Santiago keeping her alive? Why did he take her in the fist place? Patricia still can't figure out why. She also realized that there is no way for to escape, unless they will let her out. It's like waiting for her execution while sitting inside her cell. Then, the most shocking turn of event happened. One of Santiago's men brought her food. "Time to eat." Patricia's eyebrow creased when she heard the voice of the man. Her head was down as she was trying to think of another was to escape. The man's voice was familiar, so she slowly raised her head. That's when she saw his face. -End of Flashback- Felix was the one who brought her food, and not only that. He slipped the key to her cell. Patricia didn't waste any precious time. After being held captive for a week, she already memorized the hours t
