ISABELLA:

I stare at the files again and again and again, my stare burning a whole into the file, every word etched in my very memory finally understanding the shares, the planning and how truly…it was never my father's to begin with. My heart breaks everytime I remember that this cartel was built with hope but was stolen with lies. How could my father do this? Does my mother know? Was it a mistake? An oversight? Questions upon questions fill my head and I just continue staring into mid air, trying to find some type of answers.

My ringtone brings me out of thought and for the fifth time today, it was Cara. I wasn't still ready to talk to her, hell I never think I'll be ready to talk to her. If anyone had told me one day Cara would do something as crazy as this, I would have never believed it..but here we are, here we fucking are.

I flip through the pages of the file, seeing inventories, letters between Ricardo and his wife I think..him telling her about the progress and her tellin

  • BLOOD AND DEVOTION    Chapter 35: Ricardo Montez.

    JUSTIN: Documents, writings, designs, contracts…evidences that Isabella's father was nothing but a thief, a criminal and a fucking pervert. All night I couldn't sleep, asides the fact that images of Isabella were still fresh in my head, theses documents kept burning a whole in my mind…I needed to know what they meant. The shock was instant the moment the first document finished decrypting, Isabella's father was involved in far more shady things than we all thought and Montez's father helped. My phone rang, the name Cara bold on my screen, I sigh and finally peel my eyes away from my laptop, “our late night calls have become an habit,”She chuckles softly and sniffles, “you're practically the only one who I can call for answers…I'm sorry” “It's okay, it's okay. I need the distraction,” I sigh, “how are you?” “Terrible with crippling guilt eating me away,” her voice shakes, I'm sure she was already in tears, “how are you? I…I heard Montez pulled some shit that got you injured”The

    MIGUEL: 3 years ago….It's been a year plus but the pain was still fresh in my memory. I stared at his grave, tears trickling down my face but I didn't sob. I didn't move, I couldn't move, my fists were too tight so was my chest, my clothes felt too hot for me to breathe in but I stood still, not blinking, not moving. Suddenly I felt a small arm wrap around my elbow, I released a breath I didn't know I was holding, “you came” I breathe out. “You called,” her small voice warmed my heart a little, “how are you doing?”I clean my eyes and put both hands in my pocket, hiding my white fists, “not good, I keep…I keep seeing him in my dreams”Her grip becomes tighter around my arm, almost reassuring, “I'm sorry. I miss him too, a lot. He was my best friend out of both my brothers, it's not fair his life was stripped away from him too early”Gunshots filled my head, him on the floor bleeding out and his brother crying for help, I clear my throat pushing the memory away, “it's not”She

  • BLOOD AND DEVOTION    Chapter 33: Scars.

    JUSTIN: I stepped out of the shower, put on my shirt and I watched as she slept, the sheets wrapped around her small body, her small snores, the way her hair fell to her back and covered her face a little. I smiled, squatting by the bed and slowly removed her hair from her face, she looked so peaceful. Bile rose in my throat remembering how she dismissed me the last time we kissed, softly I get up and she turns revealing her back. I see a mark, like a scar that was from her neck down to her mid back. It looked deep and I'm sure it was painful, my chest constricted in pain. What happened? I thought to myself, I peered down and tried to touch it when she opened her eyes, I stepped back clearing my throat, “sleeping beauty is finally awake” I smirk, trying to push back what I saw.She sits up, rubbish her eyes and yawning, “my head hurts” she groans. I hand her an advil and water, “thanks” she swallow it and looks around, “how wasted was I?” “Pretty wasted” I chuckle, “I'm gonna..hea

    ISABELLA: I didn't want to believe it, I couldn't, she would have never done something like that. I stood still as she walked slowly to me, clutching her robe together, her neck a little red but her breathing was fast. “Isa…I can explain” she stops in front of me, her eyes already teary.I fold my arms, trying to stop myself from doing something stupid like hitting her because my anger was slowly blinding me, “tell me…tell me it's not true Cara, tell me you didn't let Montez go”She steps back, fear on her face, “I…I didn't, the idea…” “What the fuck Cara!?” I shout, “how….how did you even see him? How long have you been going behind my back?” A tear falls from her eye, “I…I just wanted to help” “He…” I scoff, pinching the bridge of my nose I release a shaky breath, “you have caused so much trouble for me, did you know your smart idea has put Warren in pain? Hm?” “What?” “I'm sure he didn't tell you while he was fucking you did he? How stupid can you be for God's sake!” She d

    (SPECIAL POV):CARA: A week ago……. We both giggle as I threw my head back in laughter, tears falling from my eyes, “that's…that's something Carlos” I sigh, another laugh erupts from my chest. “You see, I'm an amazing comedian. You're welcome” he smirks and clears his throat. Silence radiated through the room and he looks around, “she still doesn't know you come here does she?” “No,” I shake my head and adjusts on my chair, “if she finds out she'll end me” I sigh, “but..but I do need to stop coming out here, for…for the safety of both of us”A long silent passed, he didn't say anything, he just stared into the darkness, eyes thick with anger, “you should,” he said in a low voice and my heart breaks a little, “....I know what your sister's capable of and I don't want anything happening to you” he finally looks at him and I clear my throat. His back was tense, he kept fidgeting with his fingers that were tied up behind him, “you're really smart Cara, I would hate to see it all go
