Chapter 164

Author: Maria Anita
Alexander’s POV

We entered my office and it was chaotic, with people talking and working on computers while Melissa organized all the incoming information. Fred, who I discovered was also a notable hacker, had joined Marcus.

"Alexander, we managed to access Cat's phone," Marcus informed me. "And we got footage from other buildings on the street and now have the license plate of the car that took her."

"Finally, some good news." Some of the tension I was feeling dissipated.

"Not that good - the plate is fake, but at least we have a car and we've issued an alert for models of the same color," one of the police officers warned me.

"And what about the phone?" I asked, leaning between Fred and Marcus's chairs.

Fred grabbed his phone and opened a message, quickly looking at it before tossing it on the desk with a huff. Rick was standing next to me and glanced at the screen.

"Fred, why did you receive a photo of Celeste?" Rick asked with a puzzled look.

"Photo of who?" Fred didn't understand

    Manuela’s POVI yawned once again, sitting at my desk at work. I had not slept, and every part of my body was tired from the night's activities with my boyfriend."Oh my goodness, at this rate my brother is going to wear you out!" Lexie placed a coffee mug on my desk."That makeup can barely hide those dark circles, Little Key," Rick laughed.I smiled at both of them, grabbed the coffee mug, leaned back in my chair, and took a sip."If every night is like this one, your brother can wear me out as much as he wants." I smiled at Lexie, who widened her eyes and broadened her smile."I think I'm going to move to your place, Rick." Lexie and Rick laughed at me."You're stealing my friend and now you're going to abandon me?" I pretended to be hurt, and they both laughed."Oh, Little Key, you have the detective to comfort you, while Lexie and I are alone in this world." Rick was teasing me."Only because you want to be, that's for sure. How was your night?" I asked."I slept like a baby! Some

    Manuela’s POVI entered the bedroom and saw Flavian sitting in the armchair reading a book. He was wearing light pants and a knit shirt. He looked up and saw me walk right past him to the bathroom without saying a word. I closed the door so he wouldn't follow me - I had a plan.After my shower, I put on pink lingerie made of transparent lace, grabbed a scarf from the closet, and went to the bedroom. I left the scarf on the nightstand, aware of his eyes on me, and turned to face him. He had put the book aside and was watching me. When I turned around, he gave me a half-smile. I went to him and bent down, bringing my eyes level with his."Now, explain to me, detective. You went into that cow's room, and she was only in her bra and panties?" He sighed, his smile fading as he nodded in confirmation. "And what happened next?""Manu..." He didn't want to revisit the subject, but I had a plan, and he wasn't going to ruin it."What happened next, detective?" I insisted, and he huffed."She got

    Manuela’s POVOf course I believed Flavian, and I knew well that Sabrina would try many tricks to seduce him, but I was prepared for her traps. For each one she set up, I would show her that messing with me or my boyfriend wasn't a good option. I wasn't the same naive and silly Manu I was when I first arrived here."Manu, you believed him, right?" Lexie asked worriedly."Of course I did, Lexie. I trust your brother, and the desperate look on his face made it clear he was telling the truth," I replied."Poor guy, Manu, and you let him leave without knowing that?" Rick reproached me."Well, I'm going to teach him a thing or two today, so he'll be smarter about that little snake's schemes," I answered with a smile."Oh great, looks like I won't be sleeping tonight," Lexie joked."Come over to my place, I've told you before, there's a spare room. We can have dinner together, and chat. It'll be good for me to have company," Rick invited her. He had been so lonely since Tess left him."Oh, I

    Flavian’s POVI arrived at the girls' workplace as fast as I could. My little one was surprised to see me there so early."Detective, there's still more than an hour before my shift starts here." She stood up and hugged me but quickly stepped back."I know this perfume, Flavian, and it's not yours." The little one looked at me, seemingly upset."Yes, you know it, that's why I'm here so early." I was already worried before, but now seeing Manu's face, I was starting to panic. "I was with Sabrina. But please, listen to me.""Of course I'll listen to you. But I want to know exactly why her perfume is all over you." The little one said as she sat in her chair, staring at me."Well..." I was about to start explaining when Patrick came out of his office looking distracted. "Don't you greet your friends anymore, Patrick?""Oh, hi, Flavian. Sorry, I've been very distracted lately." Patrick extended his hand to me."Yeah, I heard. Anything I can help with?" I knew he was like this because he wa

    Flavian’s POVThe phone on my desk was ringing. I answered it, and my secretary informed me there was a woman who wanted to speak with me, but she hadn't identified herself. She transferred the call, and as soon as I picked up, I heard Sabrina's voice."Flavian, I need you..." She seemed to be crying and anxious, almost out of control."Oh, Sabrina, what is it? Are you starting this again? It's not going to work this time. Don't call me again." I was ready to hang up, but she stopped me."DON'T HANG UP, FLAVIAN!" She screamed. "If you don't come here, I'm going to kill myself. I'll jump out the window.""Then jump, Sabrina!" I hung up the phone. I wasn't going to fall for this manipulation.Soon after, I received a message on my cell phone. It was a photo of Sabrina with disheveled hair, smeared makeup, sitting on the windowsill with her feet dangling outside, looking down. Below the photo was the message "if you don't come, I'll jump. I'm at the Savanah.""Damn it!" I really wanted to

    Flavian’s POVI was looking at the calendar. Only one week remained until we would have Manu's DNA test results. I was anxious about it and really hoping that Cam's suspicion would be confirmed - Manu didn't deserve to have that woman as her mother."May I come in, detective?" I looked up and saw Breno standing right at my door. He was the police officer who had been helping me investigate what had happened to Cam's mother on the day she died."Great to see you, Breno! Make yourself at home, my friend." I stood up to greet him. We had known each other for a long time, having worked together when he first joined the police force. "Your visit is quite a surprise.""Well, there's a reason for my visit. I thought it would be better to tell you in person what I've discovered so far about that case you asked me about." Breno sat down across from me."Must be something important to bring you all the way here." Breno nodded, confirming my suspicion."Yes, it is important. Your private investig

    Lexie’s POVI was anxious about my first day at work. Being Patrick's assistant didn't excite me, as I knew he would fire me at the first opportunity - he only tolerated me because of my brother. But I was eager to see him again; it had been so long since I last saw him when I was nothing more than a teenager. I spent the whole night thinking about it."Lexie!" I heard my brother calling. "Are you daydreaming?""Sorry, just a bit distracted. What did you say?" I really hadn't heard anything he had said."That I'm driving you both there and back, and don't even bother complaining." Flavian was like a father giving orders to his teenage daughter; it was almost funny."Oh, whatever..." I replied, drifting back into my thoughts, barely noticing time passing as we automatically made our way to the office."Lexie, you're distracted today. Is everything okay?" Manu put her hand on my shoulder and examined me at the company elevator door."Must be because you and my brother won't let me sleep,

    Manuela’s POVAfter Sabrina's visit to my classroom, I felt unsettled. I was almost certain that Flavian would hide from me that she had sought him out. But then doubt crept in - did she actually seek him out? And just like that! I was being eaten up by doubts. What seemed like a pointless little visit from Sabrina had become a monster in my head. And the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like the clock hands weren't moving at all.When class finally ended, I was practically already standing. I rushed out of the classroom and found PH and Lexie walking down the hallway."Manu, you should have waited for us inside the classroom," PH complained about my not waiting."I know, I know, but I'm tired, I just want to go home," I tried to hide my impatience."Tired? Yeah, you must be tired, you and my brother barely sleep and don't let me sleep either. The walls in that apartment are pretty thin, you know?!" Lexie laughed, making a suggestive comment about my activities with my boyfr

    Flavian’s POVPatrick called asking if I had time to grab a drink with him. I found my friend unusually serious, which was odd since Patrick was typically a laid-back, playful guy. Something seemed wrong. Either way, it would be good to hang out with him for a while. We agreed to meet after work at a bar, and when I arrived, he was already there."Hey, detective," Patrick greeted me seriously, which already had me worried."What's up, man? What happened?" I asked right away."Ah, Flavian, I don't even know what happened," Patrick sighed."What do you mean?" I ordered a drink and waited for my friend to speak."Something's wrong with Virginia." So that was it. Even I had noticed that Virginia had been acting strange lately, as if she were somewhat disconnected from the group."Patrick, I noticed she's been avoiding the girls, always busy with something, but I didn't think you two were having problems." I looked carefully at my friend, and I knew that expression on his face - I had seen
