Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 10
"Hi, Evie. The teachers are going on strike.” "Really?" she asks with sadness in her voice and drops the books on a table. "Why?” "The city has not paid their salary, so it is not fair that they continue teaching, without receiving. Is not it?” "Of course not. What can I do for you?” They spent all morning preparing posters, banners, flags and everything that was needed to start the strike on Monday. And despite the reasons for being there, not being the best of all, Ruby and Evangeline were just smiles to each other. As they were leaving the university with the other people, Evie decided to put her will into practice. "Hey, Ruby..." she touches his arm. " I was thinking... it’s...” Ruby was a bit shy, but she always liked Evangeline. Her polite, simple and clever way of doing it enchanted him at first. But the fact that he found her quite beautiful, made him think she couldn’t feel the same way about him. Until that moment. "Do you want to have lunch with me?" he asks at onc
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 11
As Evangeline approaches, the unknown man looks at her. He leaves William talking to himself and walks away to talk to another unknown person. "Uncle, what did he say?" Evie asks. "Oh, Evie... he came up with a story that this field was from city hall and someone bought it today.” "So what?” "Apparently the new owner wants that place empty today to start building work tomorrow.” "But that’s absurd!" Evangeline looks around, trying to find someone to complain about. "They can’t do that. They can’t!” And in the middle of that hole, Evangeline’s phone starts ringing. She ignores it, without even seeing who it is. Her biggest problem at the time was trying to better understand what was going on and where she was going to sleep that night. But after the phone starts ringing for the fifth time, she decides to answer the private number call. "What is it? Who are you?” "Go somewhere far from all those people.” She didn’t have to ask who it was for the second time. As has b

Futile enough to close a restaurant just for him. That’s what Evie thinks and it was almost true. The restaurant belonged to the Castellos, but served as a front for what was happening in the back. An illegal casino. Alec occupied a table right in the center of the restaurant. He had chosen the chair facing the door because he wanted to delight in the entrance to Evangeline. He knew it was coming armed, just did not expect to see her in slippers. Alec leaned on the table and put a hand on his lips, partially hiding the smile he had. Without saying a word, Evie pulls up the chair making a shrill noise and sitting down anyway. He still stares at her for a few seconds before dropping a low laugh. "I expected a certain reluctance, but this" Alec points to her clothes. "surprised me.” "Well, I figured since you wanted me here at all costs, you wouldn’t mind the clothes I wore.” "And I don’t care." He makes a sign, so that a waiter approaches. "You look beautiful.” Evie snorts

That word came out like a whisper in the wind. Evie never knew where her father was or what had made him leave. I knew his name, but I had no idea what his face looked like. Evangeline believed the story that Leah maintained, about him dropping them off in that field alone and being driven around the world. Seeing those envelopes, Evie thought that maybe that wasn’t true. She takes the envelope that was still sealed and opens it. There was some $50 bills and a brief letter. Evie read it carefully. Dear Evangeline, I can imagine why you didn’t answer my letters. Actually, I’m sure. Leah isn’t passing them to you. I should have guessed so you didn’t answer the first, twelve years ago. I hope at least she used the money I sent, to try to meet some need of yours. Anyway, I still expect an answer and the certainty that you are willing to hear my version of my departure. God knows what madness Leah has spread. Evie big, I love you. I miss you so much. I hope one day we can see each

Evie looks in the direction of the voice and is surprised when she sees Alec. In addition to the white tank top, which showed off his white arms, with some random tattoos, Alec also wore fine knit shorts and slippers. That vision almost led her to let out a sigh, but Evangeline quickly came to and nodded. "I want to talk to you.” "Of course.” Alec signals to the doorman, who promptly opens the huge iron gates. Evie does not move, as she was still thinking about giving up on it. "Do you want to come in or do you want to talk from here?” Evangeline closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, remembering her mother and her father’s stolen letters. She then takes a few steps and soon after walks behind Alec, into the mansion. He takes her to the room where she was before and Muta the television. "Football?" Evie murmurs, looking at the empty beer bottles on the coffee table. "My favorite sport." Alec points to the couch. "You can sit.” He noticed the backpack on Evangeline

There was also a weapons room underground, but Alec didn’t want to scare her. He still wondered how she was able not to know about them being mobsters, since Leah has been working there for a few years. When they returned to the house, they saw the figure of Cedric at the top of the stairs. Evangeline had no idea who he was, but no one who was in the room she broke into was able to forget the girl with the red hair. "Can you wait for me on the porch?" Alec asks Evangeline, as soon as they approach Cedric. "I’ll be right there.” She states with her head and gives a simple smile to Cedric, before going to the balcony. Alec hopes she’s far enough away to confront her new partner. "What are you doing here?” "When you said you had solved that matter," Cedric points with his head, in the direction of Evangeline. "everyone believed. Imagine what your father and the other investors will say when they find out what’s going on here.” "You don’t know what’s going on here, to want

"Forever?” "No! Well..." Evie wiggles her shaggy hair. "I don’t know. First I need to find out what really happened and only then will I be able to know what to do.” "I understood..." Felippa gets up and goes to his room, keeping the money in his jewelry box. "You said that were two favors.” "Ruby asked me out!” Without Evie seeing, Felippa grimaces, but looking at her friend, she smiles falsely. “Finally. Where are you going? What are you going to wear?” "I don’t know. He sent me this." Evie gives her cell phone to her friend. "Is it a home address, or is it just me?” "Well... yeah. It’s at Trixie’s house. She went to high school with us, remember?” Evangeline takes a deep breath and shakes her head in the affirmative. She hated remembering high school. Felippa remembered this a few seconds later. "I’m not going there!" Evie pulls the phone out of her friend’s hand and starts typing a message to Ruby. "I’m not going anyway.” "Hey, stop! It’s been
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 17
While showering, Alec thought about the man he killed and what probably happened to Ruby. And even if he tried not to think about it, it was almost impossible. It wasn’t like him to be violent. Alec had had a somewhat quiet childhood. He vaguely remembered eating all meals next to his parents and older sister. Everything changed when he turned sixteen and discovered that his mother had an affair with the family driver. Alec was desolate, crying on the steps of the mansion, when his father arrived. The boy hesitated, but ended up telling his father what he found out. Blake was furious and went screaming for his wife around the house. He found her in the pool, tanning and a few meters away, was the driver, washing one of the cars. He confronted her and questioned whether that was true. Unmoved by the accusation, Dominique shrugged and continued the sunbath. Until Blake stepped up on her and the driver decided to intervene. At that moment, he was sure that his son had spoken the t
