LOGINAutumnAfter the call with my mother, I became more desperate. I knew that something had to be done.I checked the time, and it was almost evening, and I still hadn’t gotten any money from Abel.“Didn’t he say that he was going to send the money to me after our call in the morning?” I asked myself.Was Abel trying to make a fool out of me? Was I wrong to have trusted him again?Not wanting to jump into conclusions, I decided to call him again. I already decided that I would find Dante tonight, no matter what, and we needed to leave. We didn’t have all the time in the world, and I didn’t even want us to spend another day here. One more day and my mum would have the money to herself.However, before finding Dante, I needed to have some money in my account.We would have to find our way out of here to be able to get hold of the money, but it was better than not having money, or remaining here.“Hello, Autumn,” Abel said.He eventually picked up after two rings.“I didn’t get any money,
AutumnAfter everything I had learned about my mother and her greed, I knew I couldn’t let her go for that money.“Of course, she would accept it in a heartbeat,” I stated with anger as I paced on the floor of the bedroom.Why did she even need the money?She left my dad when things got bad for him and lied to me for years that he treated her poorly, and then when she found Mateo De Luca, Dante’s wealthy father from a big clan, she hastily married him. shouldn’t she be contended at this point?What did she need the money from, especially from the man she rejected?My hatred for her grew almost immediately.However, just being in the room and thinking about it wasn’t going to solve anything. Dare-Devil already said that my mum had accepted it and she was willing to come for the money.“Can you stall that for me?” I asked him.“Does this mean that you have changed your mind?” Dare-Devil had asked me.Saying that I had changed my mind and accepted the money wasn’t just something that I
AutumnI found my way back to the building, and I held the doorknob of the other door, wanting to open it and sneak in, and it wasn’t even the back door.In my quest to get out and find Dante, I had found that door, which fortunately, was unlocked, and I had sneaked out through the door.The good path was that the door led me through a straight aisle that led to the bedroom I had been given, and I couldn’t be more relieved that I found the door. My intention had been to tell Dante about the door so that he would have an easier means to get to me, but because of the conversation we were having, I totally forgot. I was also supposed to remind him about finding out why we couldn’t call each other, but I forgot that as well.“He has a way of making me forget what I want to say to him,” I grumbled as I turned the doorknob, but to my utmost shock, it was locked.My mouth fell open with shock.I tried to turn the knob over and over again, but it wasn’t yielding, and I realized that it had b
DanteAfter I got over the shock of what Autumn just told me, I became deeply curious, as my first thought was that she had eventually agreed to take the money from Dare-Devil.“How?” I asked curiously.Autumn cleared her throat.“A friend of mine is going to send us a little amount of money that can get us out of here,” she answered.My heart fell into my stomach in disappointment, but I decided not to write that off completely.“What friend? Susan?” I asked Autumn.And I would be very disappointed if Autumn was that friend. Besides, Autumn didn’t have any other friend that I knew about aside from Susan.I would be disappointed because two nights ago, I did talk to Susan to help me speak to Autumn to convince her. It was easy to get Autumn to change her mind through Susan because that was the only person I believed Autumn listened to.“No, it’s not Susan,” Autumn answered, looking away slightly.“Then it’s who?” I asked.I was getting a little upset and suspicious, but I wanted to be
DanteI was woken up even earlier and with a harsher tone than usual.“It’s time to start your duty for the day,” I had been told.I didn’t think I was going to sleep well last night, but I ended up sleeping really well, and that was because I was tired as hell. I did have some terrible dreams about the company, something about it being raided and David wasn’t able to do anything, but even when I woke up, I didn’t do anything about it because I knew that the dream was as a reaction of the news I got.I started working as I should, and I tried to block out any form of thought that would make me distracted, or think about the decision I made.I didn’t want to regret anything.And besides, it was already too late to do so.Romiro’s guard watched me to ensure that I didn’t stop for a minute to rest or try to give the job to someone else, but I also paid him no mind. I did the task with all the rage and bitterness inside of me.“Did you make a sound?” He asked me.I knew that he was speaki
AutumnI waited for Dante last night…all through the night as a matter of fact, but he never showed up.“Is he upset with me?” I kept asking myself.Staying stuck in this room just made me really upset, and confused, and restless. I tried to sleep, but even that wasn’t working. Then, at some point, I changed my thought.“Has something happened to him?” I began to ask myself.From the conversation I heard from Romiro, he didn’t have good plans towards Dante. He might have even wanted him dead, and yet, I took that information for granted. What if something terrible had happened to Dante already?My restlessness increased so much that I couldn’t sleep.Again, I did try to call Dante, but it didn’t connect…several times.“Why can I call other people but not him?” I asked myself worriedly.It was morning, but I still wasn’t feeling any better. Someone else brought breakfast, but I couldn’t bring myself to eat anything. I would have asked after Bianca, but I already knew that they were t
