One Million Reais

I opened the door to my flat, but it was still dark inside. My roommate seemed to be still partying with the girls out there or was he sleeping Inside? I turned on the lights and entered the apartment.I live with a man named Bernardo. I call him Bernie, and we both attend the same university but attend different faculties. I'm in the Philosophy, Science, and Literature Faculty, and he's in the Law Faculty. The university dorm didn't suit me, so I looked for apartments outside of campus and finally found one after a long search, but the rent was a little pricey for the money I earned from my part-time work. I thought splitting the rent could help, so I posted a notice in my faculty's bulletin board about the apartment I'm offering and asked them to split the rent with me, along with my phone number so they could contact me. I didn't get a call for an entire week.I got a random message saying that someone else is looking for a room and is ready to move in. I replied 'okay' without eve

Louisa's p.o.v;I was looking at the guys in the front seat of the car as we were driving to the club. I made a count of the men in the car. The first is the driver. Two, Edgar, who claimed to be an associate. Following them were two men we'll name them bodyguard 1 and bodyguard 2. Behind them are me and Bernie, with two guys on either side of us. Diego on Bernie's side, Ace alongside me, and a guy in the back behind us who will be bodyguard 3. They numbered seven, including the driver. It signifies that the escape rate is less than 10%. I don't think Bernie and I can compete with the seven of them. And I'm not sure if the driver was recruited or a member of the mafia as well."Are you intending to bring us down?" Ace asked quietly.I whispered under the tape covering my mouth as I glanced at him. He signalled that he couldn't hear me and returned to looking out the window. How could you hear me? You taped my mouth! I turned to face Bernie... What the hell is happening? Is he dozing

Louisa's pov;I got changed into the outfit they gave me. It was a denim jeans with white tshirt. I laid on the bed thinking about what happened in the morning. I wonder what was Bernie doing now. Did they provide food for him as well? The door opened so i got up and sat straight. It was Ace who walked in. He looked at my outfit and said, "It fits. Your friend knows you well." And made a smirk."How's Bernie? Where's he?" "Far away from your room. Why are you asking about him? Do you want to see him?"Even if i said i want to meet him, it's not like you're going to take me there. I remained silent. He said, "I thought i would take you there if you nodded but looks like you don't want to see your…""Take me there. I want to see him.""You lost your chance. You didn't answer when i asked you a question."When he tried to walk away, i sat on the bed and said, "How long will you keep us here?" "Till we get that stone." "What if you don't get it?""You two will rot in here." And lef

Louisa's p.o.v;"Do you know where we are right now?" Ace asked me while we're walking in the middle of the popular alleyway in Sao Paulo. Vila madalena and boco de Batman.I answered him, "Vila madalena.""Yes. Do you like graffiti Ms Louisa?" I stared at him when he mentioned me as Louisa because not many people call me that way. I bet he heard it from Bernie.I shook my head and continued walking with him. He nodded and led the way. While I was walking behind him, I saw Bodyguard 2 and Edgar walking behind us. I didn't know he's bringing them too. I didn't see Bodyguard 2 since he tried to r*pe me so it felt awkward around him. "How much do you know about Sao Paulo?" Ace asked me all of a sudden.I answered, "It is the 8th richest city in the world and a home to 40 million people. Statistics state that for every hour there'll be 10 people who come to live here. The economic capital is the reason attracting people from around the world. And it's also popular for having the largest

Louisa's p.o.v;"He's awake now. You can go and visit him. You can discharge him by tomorrow but that doesn't mean he's recovered from his injuries. He has to take medicines and should take bed rest for another two weeks." The doctor said and walked past me. I entered the room and took a seat beside the bed. "Thank you for saving me out of that shithole." And he coughed. I took a glass of water and fed him while asking, "How did you get caught by them?""I was investigating the drug to the club manager at X province, someone hit me from behind and when I got my senses back, I was tied up in a room and couldn't move a bit. I thought I was going to die until you showed up. Thank you for your help. By the way, what were you doing there in a place like that?""I was kidnapped by them too, along with my friend.""Your friend? Where's your friend?""I don't know.""Did he get out or Is he still there?"I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I don't know.""I'll help you find your friend. I'm
