เข้าสู่ระบบV A L E R I AI had been standing silently, trying to recognise the voice. It sounded familiar, and then it clicked.This lady used to be my sister’s tail while we were growing up. One could say she was like her little puppet, always doing whatever Aaliyah told her.I had recently seen on her website that she had photos with Aaliyah, so if anything, she was Aaliyah's friend or employee. If I knew Aaliyah well, which I did, she didn’t really have friends, only her mother.“Clara?” I said, not completely sure.“Do you want to find your friend or not?”“How can I believe you?” Fiona was not my friend, but still I couldn’t stand here and do nothing after hearing she was in a bit of trouble.“I can take a video, and you’ll see for yourself, but it’s not going to come for free.” Yep, I knew that. Everyone wanted something in this world.“How much?”“I want to come work for you.”“Excuse me?”“I can be an assistant. Aaliyah blocked my way just so I could be stuck with her, but I can work as
A A L I Y A HI swear something was wrong; I don’t know what, but something definitely was not making sense. I just couldn’t wrap my pinky around it.First, I didn’t seem to remember everything. I’d sent my daughter away, damn, I hadn’t even spoken to her all day, it was like I didn’t have that close connection with her.Then Aaliyah showed up at my apartment earlier. I mean, sure, I guess I should understand since she’s always been Rodrigo’s tail, but then Rodrigo did it.He said we were having an affair, that he separated from Aaliyah since the marriage wasn’t valid to start with, but he didn’t touch me. We came to one of his apartments, saying he wanted us to be alone, but nothing happened.“Is everything okay with you?” Rodrigo snapped me out of my thoughts, walking in with a tray of breakfast, yes, he even slept on the couch, saying he was working. I had just gotten up and didn’t move from the bed; I was thinking how I looked this good and he didn’t make a move.“Yeah, everything
I didn’t have the answer to any of the questions, so instead of asking more, as there were more, I grabbed the laptop, made sure to hide what I did earlier with the call, before walking back to the living space where Christian was and asked him to get started.Christian didn’t waste a second. He got started right away, and within a few minutes, we were seated, watching the footage of my whole apartment from just a few hours ago.“Do you know how she got in?” he asked, and I shook my head, as I wasn’t sure if that lobby man had let her in.“Don’t worry, I’ll find out. But it will take me a few hours since I don’t have cameras outside this place.”I nodded, my eyes fixed on the four divided screens on the computer.One showed the living room, another Parker’s room, then mine, and the last was the walk-in closet.“Why would you have cameras there?” I asked since Pablo only had his in the living room, and Christian made it clear these were his.“It was all for your safety. Nothing to worr
After setting my computer, I spoke, wanting them to stay on the line for at least a minute before they suspect something since they said they were giving me five.“I have a lot of questions, but the most obvious is your identity, which I'm sure you want to remain hidden,” I said, my eyes on my laptop.“Yes. Any other question?”“Yes, actually. I want to know why I must marry Rodrigo. Why not, Pablo, since clearly Pablo is already on your side?”“He's not smart. He doesn't have the influence that Mr Roberts has.”“I see.” I nodded my head as it made sense.“With Mr Roberts on our team, we are going to make the people believe we won it fairly.”“What does that mean? We are going to win it fairly, right?”“Either way, I'm having the Oval, fair or not.”“Okay, so Rodrigo — you think he'll just agree to marry me?”“He did sign the divorce papers, right?”“Yeah, but that's because…” I remembered Pablo made him do it, so if she knew about it, it was because she was behind it. But why? “Hold
I had so much to live for. I couldn’t risk that, no matter what.“I don’t have money with me, but if you give me a moment, I can transfer you… any amount,” I said, panic filling my voice as they were still standing there.“Ms Sterling, I can see why you should be scared; hence, my arrival.”“Please—”“The boss saw the news. It was impressive, and for that, they sent this message.”“W-what?”“I’m going to drop it here and leave. Please read it.” They walked to the front, placed a small envelope on the bonnet, and then started walking away. I turned to watch their movement; they got to a car, got inside, and drove out.I didn’t move immediately. I waited in the car just to be sure. I stayed there for about five minutes, and once I was certain they were really gone, I got out, walked to the bonnet, picked up the little envelope, I don’t know why I believed him, and then walked straight inside, rushing actually, as I didn’t want to take any chances.Once inside the building, I took the el
I toured the house, and it was really amazing, fully furnished, with my bedroom as spacious as I’d always wanted.After that, we had tea and talked. I told her about the baby, and her reaction was priceless. She didn’t think she would ever have such an opportunity, and she truly looked happy. I asked about Nona, and she told me she was back in Italy sorting some things out.“After all of this, the elections, I will take you to Italy. It’s home.”“I would love that,” I agreed. “And don’t worry about Pablo. I will deal with him.” We spoke of Pablo, and she was not happy with him.“You just have to say the word, baby. I can deal with him.”“He’s not alone, so to take him down I should connect with those powerful people.”“But you know he’ll never give it up even after those people ask him to. I know my son. He’s stubborn.” Of course, she still considered him her son.“Don’t worry yourself, and if I get stuck, I will ask for your help,” I assured her as we stood and walked out.“Are you s
