Angela was buying groceries for herself. She just got her first salary after a month of working at the restaurant. Angela felt so happy and proud of herself. It was the first time that she earned her own money. She then realized how good it feels.
When she counted how much money she has left, she realized that there's still some left for new clothes. Angela was on her way to the mall when she bumped into her college friend, Sharon. They haven't seen each other since Sharon and her family moved to Florida.
"Angela Maxford? Damn, it's been a long time."
"Sharon Mayfield? Hey!"
The two of them hugged each other. But Sharon suddenly pulled away. She looked at Angela like some freak. Staring at from head to toe like she was so dirty.
"Why does your hair smells burrito? Why aren't you wearing any piece of jewelry?"
Angela scoffed because of what she heard. Not seeing Sharon for a very long time made her forget what kind of a person she is. Hell, s
Denver never felt so angry in his entire life. But being thrown in jail made him feel anger towards Levi and Naomi that he never felt before. He blames them for his situation, but he also blames himself. He knew it was a stupid idea to join their revenge fantasy.Now, he's in jail for dealing illegal drugs. They haven't even started, and they're already busted. Denver kept thinking of how the police knew where to find them. No matter how hard he thinks, Denver only came up with two possible reasons. It's either someone ratted them out, or it was Gonzalo who played them.Both were possible because the men that Levi hired are strangers. He just looked for ex-convicts or anyone willing to join him for money. He could've hired a police informant or Gonzalo's spy. Levi was stupid to think his little fantasy would come to life and was even more ridiculous for joining him.All he wanted was to get a chance with his son. He became desperate that he forgot to use his min
There are things in life that can drive a person to do things he has to in order to survive. Things that will change a person for the rest of his life. People go through a certain situation that will flip the switch and turn off the light.Sometimes, even the holiest person can turn evil. Even the ones with the strongest faith can lose it with a flick of a finger. Events that will make a person forget everything he stood for.According to some, Lucifer was never evil. He was an angel before he was painted as the devil. His name even meant morning star.One night, in Whites City, New Mexico, a family is having a nice and simple dinner. They were a happy, religious half-Spanish family who always goes to church every Sunday. One of the most peaceful families in a town of chaos and crime.Their little son was happy enough to have a new wooden toy carved by his father. He knew that his family doesn't have much, so he is grateful when his father makes him a new
Levi is still in jail, and his lawyer and Naomi's league of elite lawyers can't do anything about it. He knew that Naomi already tried to bribe officials to get him out but still nothing. They were all tight-lipped about why they won't accept the bribe. All they said is that they have to stick with the law.Every time he looks at the walls around him, the bars that separate him from freedom, he cries. Few months ago, he was just a normal guy. He was just one of those New York businessmen. And now, he's waiting for trial."Mom, Dad, I'm so sorry. I don't know how it came to this. I'm so sorry."Remembering his parents and how they tried their best to raise him as a decent man. It's like seeing their disappointed faces right in front of him. He knew that whatever mistake he made, his parents would still love him. And that makes it more painful.------------------On one of the other cells, there's Denver. He was lying on his singles bed, looking at t
Naomi woke up feeling awesome about herself. Levi will never love her back. She knows that now. But it doesn't mean that she forgives Patricia for what happened. Because of her, Levi had to go on full dark mode. Naomi blames Patricia for everything that happened to Levi. And she is hell-bent on making her pay.One thing that she's sure about is she got Gonzalo wrapped around her fingers. And she will use him to hurt Patricia. Her first step is to slap Patricia about the reality that she's just a stripper that Gonzalo picked up at a club.After taking a bath and eating her breakfast, she drove all the way to Gonzalo's estate. Naomi even brought a homecooked meal to make Gonzalo think that she is a wife-material. That she's better than Patricia."Hi, I'm here for Gonzalo. My name is Naomi Floyd." She announced herself when she arrived at the gate of Valenzuela's estate."I'm sorry, Ma'am. Does Mr. Gonzalo knows that you're coming?" One of the guards asked.
Anthony left for a vacation. It was Patricia's idea. She thought that going away for a short while, to enjoy life. He agreed because he wanted to be alone for some time. Away from Gonzalo, away from life, away from everything.Peter, his best friend, is dead. He died in a cross-fire when Gonzalo's men raided the FBI base. Anthony knew that Peter was spying on him. He knew what Peter did back at the casino. He was hacking into his phone and trying to tap into his phone conversation and text messages.He didn't say anything because he didn't want to sell his best friend out. Gonzalo ordered his men to raid the FBI base that killed Peter. He didn't say anything because his daughter loves Gonzalo. Patricia has been through so much, and she deserves to be happy.So he left. He took a vacation in Mexico for two weeks, and now, he's in Puerto Rico. He wanted to clear his mind. But he can't focus on himself because his mind kept drifting to his best friend's death and h
Denver was able to file a bail request. All of Levi's men testified against him and proved that Denver was just another man Levi lured. The situation got worse when one of their men spilled out Naomi's name as their financer. Now, the media are all targeting the most famous woman in New York when it comes to business.After his family posted his bail, Denver went back to his own home. He was barred from leaving New York, even for vacation. But Denver was okay with it. What's important is that he's out. What he just doesn't understand is why did that man wait for weeks before talking? He could have just struck a deal with the police and talk."Hello, Denver."Hearing that voice made Denver involuntarily swallowed his own saliva. He never met him, but he knew what he could do. Denver already heard so many things about him. But hearing his voice directly talking to him, it felt like his death sentence has been signed for him."Gonzalo? How did you get here?"
Naomi was sent to the same precinct where Levi and Denver are currently detained. Their arraignment will happen next week. After that, they will be transferred to where they will be permanently incarcerated. Naomi was already dreading the fact that she will face long prison time.Her band of lawyers couldn't do anything to get her out of jail. Something is wrong, and she can feel it. For Naomi, it is impossible not to get what she wanted. And with the last name Floyd, the impossibility of not getting what she wanted doubles up. But ever since Levi was arrested, her connections, her money, her last name never worked."I can't stay here! I will not stay here!" Naomi angrily demanded to her lawyers."It's going to be a long and hard fight, Naomi. And it's going to be messy. Children's welfare and protection organizations are protesting against you. Media vultures are swarming around this case. They will not let you out easily." One of the lawyers said."What
Patricia found Gonzalo standing by his mother's grave. It's the first time she saw him on that part of the estate. There are several instances when Patricia wanted to see it, but she always ended up stopping herself. She was not that far, and she can see him perfectly. He looked so peaceful and contented.Gonzalo never talked about his mother. And Patricia never bothered to ask. She doesn't want him to that she is too nosy. Patricia wanted to give him the choice. She wanted Gonzalo to voluntarily open up to her."Why don't you approach him?" Josh asked her. He was doing his rounds when he saw Patricia watching Gonzalo from afar."I don't want to disturb his moment with his mother," Patricia responded, still staring at Gonzalo."You two keep on assuming things about each. Boss will see you alone, we will tell him to approach you. Then he will say no, you want to be alone. Hmmm, things you do for love."Patricia stared at Josh after hearing what he s
