Chapter fourteen

Eileen wore her robe as soon as she woke up. It was time to do something—no more waiting around. She was determined. If she didn’t hear from the detective today, she’d take the risk and go to the station herself. It had already been three days since José last spent the night at the house. His absence gave her room to breathe, to think clearly for the first time.

She tiptoed to Josh’s room before going downstairs, peeking through the door. A soft smile spread across her face wh

  • Bound to be with the ruthless mafia    Chapter 36

    The hours passed, and Eilleen hadn't heard from Mrs. Maya.She had sent her several messages, but she hadn't received any reply. She didn't want to risk calling her because she didn't know what kind of situation Mrs. Maya was in. Her heart began to beat faster as she imagined all the things that could have gone wrong.Unable to sleep, Eilleen went downstairs to get some water. She sat in the kitchen, staring at her phone as if looking at it long enough would somehow make a message from Mrs. Maya appear.A few minutes later, Mike walked into the kitchen.He had an orange in one hand.Eilleen cursed under her breath. As if she didn't already have enough to worry about, Mike had decided to add to her frustration and anger.Mike picked up the kitchen knife that was lying on the table in the middle of the kitchen and began peeling the orange.Eilleen sat quietly, praying that he would finish and leave the kitchen—or better yet, leave this universe and this earth for good.Mike sat opposite

    At the hospital, Mrs. Maya was already done and was waiting for Eilleen in the waiting room.“Sorry, Mrs. Maya,” Eilleen said as she walked up to her. “Sorry I kept you waiting.”“You don't need to apologize,” Mrs. Maya replied.They walked to the car and drove off.“Did you find out what you were looking for?” Mrs. Maya asked as they drove.“I tried, Mrs. Maya, but the security was tight, and I bumped into José.”“What?” Mrs. Maya asked in surprise.“I bumped into Mike and Tommy too. I'm just grateful I made it out without being recognized. I got some recordings from José's conversation in the car, but it's in Spanish. I just wish I could get some information from it after translating it.” ______Eilleen had tried everything she could think of to translate the recording, but it wouldn't work. The audio was too low, and there was too much background noise. She uploaded it to several translation apps, but none of them could make out the conversation.The next morn

    “Can’t you just text the detective to go check it out? Since you can’t go check it out yourself,” Mrs. Maya said after Eilleen told her all her plans.“No, I don’t want to send him on a goose chase. And any careless move could make José realize that we are onto him.”“That’s true,” Mrs. Maya replied, nodding her head.“I just need an excuse to leave this house. José is already paranoid about everyone, so I need to be careful.”That evening, José called all the maids in the mansion. He questioned them one after another, asking if they knew anything about the safe house. He threatened them to speak up immediately because if he found out that any of them knew about it and kept silent, he would make them pay for it.The night was quiet.Eilleen had just taken her bath and was ready to retire to bed. She had been watching the game with Josh. It had just been the two of them, so she quietly sat beside him and watched until the game was over. Afterward, she packed her hair into a ponytail an

    The next morning was Saturday. Eilleen woke up and saw José sleeping beside her. She wondered when he had come home because she hadn't noticed him returning. He looked exhausted and was still wearing his work clothes, which made her realize that he had probably spent the entire night moving his illegal goods to another location.Eilleen stared at him for a moment. She knew José had moved his goods because he suspected that someone was leaking information about his safehouses. That meant the secret names she had been trying to crack might no longer be useful since they were potentially safehouses. But then again, if José had moved everything in a hurry, there was a possibility that those names could still lead her to something important.She quietly got out of bed and went downstairs.Mrs. Maya was in the kitchen making breakfast. She had been off the previous day, so Eilleen hadn't had the chance to tell her everything that had happened with Mike and the school.As soon as Eilleen fin

    That night, José's voice downstairs woke Eilleen from her deep sleep. She quickly grabbed her robe and went downstairs, and even Josh had woken up because of José's loud voice. He was on a phone call, shouting and threatening the person on the other end.“What do you mean my goods are gone?” José roared. “I will kill you and your family if I don't get everything back by tomorrow morning! You are the head of the school and that's why I paid you to keep my goods safe in that school, where no one would suspect anything, and now you've lost it. You had only one job—to keep it safe!”Eilleen knew immediately that José had found out about what happened at the school. His men were standing around him, and her eyes moved toward Mike. He stood there with a stone-cold expression on his face, looking as though he had no idea what had happened to the goods José was talking about. In fact, if she hadn't seen him earlier that day at the school, she would have believed his act, but she knew exactly

    The next morning, Eilleen walked into the kitchen and met Mrs. Maya making breakfast.“Good morning, Mrs. Maya,” Eilleen said as she grabbed a coffee mug. She walked toward the coffee machine, which was already steaming.“Good morning, Miss Eilleen,” Mrs. Maya replied.Eilleen poured herself some coffee and sat down quietly. She took a sip, but her mind wasn't on the coffee.It was on the names in José's file.Especially the name Young Adams.She had been thinking about him since the previous night. She placed the mug on the table.“Mrs. Maya, do you have any idea where Adams is?”“Adams?” Mrs. Maya repeated, trying to remember.“Yes. Adams. He was one of José's men. He was very young, but he was also tough. I think he had an ugly scar around his neck.”Mrs. Maya stopped wiping the table and looked at her.“Oh, Adams. I remember him now.”“You do?”“Yes.” She nodded slowly. “He was young and handsome, but he was also very violent. I think he moved to Mexico. I really can't tell, but t

    The drive was a little more than thirty minutes, yet to Eilleen, it felt like an entire hour of suffocating silence. Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel each time she imagined what she was about to do. Every lie she rehearsed sounded worse than the last, but she had no choice—not if she

    As soon as José and his men left, Eilleen slipped quietly into the kitchen. Her hands trembled as she grabbed her phone and typed a quick message to Detective Alvarez:Eilleen: They’re onto you. You need to be careful.It didn’t take long before a reply came.Alvarez: I know they are, but I can tak

    The next morning, the air in the Santiago mansion was heavier than usual — thick with silence that made every sound echo. Even the birds outside seemed too afraid to sing. Eilleen woke early, nerves on edge. She had barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes she saw flashes of gunfire and Jocelyn
