Reporting from the underworld Blood in Paradise. chapter twenty seven
Alejandro’s POVThe message glowed between us.“Wrong target tonight.”Miguel stared at the screen for exactly three seconds before locking it.His face went completely blank.“That was meant for you,” I said quietly.“Yes.”The calm in his voice unsettled me more than panic would have.Security radios continued crackling outside the suite. Footsteps. Urgent whispers in Portuguese. The sound of controlled chaos.Miguel moved toward the door.“Where are you going?” I demanded.“To fix it.”“You mean retaliate.”He didn’t deny it.I stepped in front of him.“If they were aiming at you, don't you think it would be wise to stay put?”He didn't respond, the look in his eyes answered.“ this isn’t about me, is it?”“It is always about you,” he replied.The intensity of it made my breath hitch.“You are leverage. That hasn’t changed.”“Then stop running head first into danger.”His eyes darkened.“You think I’m afraid of dying?”“No,” I said honestly. “I think you’re afraid of living.”That
Reporting from the underworld Private Collision. chapter twenty six
Alejandro’s POV I did not sleep, I couldn't. Miguel pretended to. We shared the same suite — because of course we did. Two bedrooms connected by a sitting area no one would use. Security outside. Ocean view beyond the glass walls. This vacation was now wrapped around danger. I stood at the balcony at two in the morning, staring down at the city lights. Brazil at night was softer. Less loud. The ocean moved like something ancient and patient. Behind me, I heard his bedroom door open. His footsteps were steady as they inched towards me. He stopped a few feet behind me. “You are sure you heard them clearly?” he asked. “Yes.” I muttered weakly, my back still turned to him. “Describe them.” I did. Height. Accents. Suits. The tone of their voices. The certainty. He absorbed every detail. “Journalist,” he repeated under his breath. I turned slowly. “They know who I am.” “They knew before you arrived.” “Well I did not think I would be in this mess, heck. Home would have bee
Reporting from the underworld The Public Game. chapter twenty five
Alejandro’s POVBrazil was loud. Not in the chaotic, suffocating way of gunfire and screeching tires. Not in the way betrayal echoed through marble halls.Brazil was alive.My ears opened before my eyes as music bled from the open windows, The air smelled like citrus, salt, and heat and smoked meat.“Good morning—” I muttered to no one in particular. I was all alone in my side of the room. I looked at the adjoining foot and imagined Miguel standing at the other side, waiting for me.“No.” I said, “he made his choice and I have to respect that.” That was close. For a brief moment, I almost forgot why I was here and the events that led here.Almost.The bath was heavenly. Miguel's father was not a cheap man, that much was clear. The decor of the room might have gone unnoticed when I arrived but now that I was settled? Whoa!I got dressed and I looked the part. Nothing too dark, nothing to fancy at least not with what I picked. I planned to hit the beach so I dressed in a cute beach
Reporting from the underworld Nothing but co-workers. chapter twenty four
Miguel's POV.This was the day I left for Brazil. I anticipated this for a while because it allowed me to get my mind off things.I got into the designated plane for the trip. It was a private flight and I expected solitude throughout the entire trip.I got into the plane and there he was, seated in the window seat,headphones in,eyes closed.I felt my heart skip a beat. “What is he doing here?”I took the seat beside him.He did not acknowledge meBesides me was the perfect portrait of indifference.I muttered a faint greeting just to make my presence and hopefully start a conversation with him but he was mute.That stung but I took it like a champ.The plane taxied. Lifted and the city shrank beneath us.Hours passed.I tried to distract myself, read, listen to music, and sleep. They all failed.My mind kept replaying his face when he said, “is that all you have to say?” It wasn’t all I had to say but I did not know how to say the rest without breaking his heart any further.Turbu
Reporting from the underworld Out of sight. chapter 23
Miguel's POV The entire drive back home was an antsy one. I wasn't sure if Alejandro got the letter I left.I wished that he did, the regret was beginning to set in and I began to imagine a day without him in it.I have lived for long without him and now that I had him, it felt strange to be without him.“What if he has seen the letter?” I asked myself as we stopped at a red light. “Would he still respond the other way he did?” My heart was heavy with guilt as I thought about his innocence. I tried to exonerate myself, “I was just trying to keep him safe. Perhaps he understood that from the letter.”I nodded as I stared into the street from my tinted window glass. “Perhaps he did— or?” The only other options shook me with fear. I had never been afraid before, not even with a bullet placed in front of my head. Father had ensured that we killed whatever part of us responsible for fear, but here I was, scared to my depths.This fear was linked to one question, “what if he felt nothing
Reporting from the underworld No tears left to cry. chapter twenty two
Alejandro's POV I rolled my eyes as I dropped the phone.Pedro walked in on me talking into the house phone and he was not having it. He went on and on about how I wasn't supposed to do that. “I told you that the master is in a meeting. What part of that did you not understand?”“I heard you, did it occur to you that he might have called?” I said with one brow raised, “perhaps he had a feeling that you would bother me and he called to check up on me.”“There's no way he would do that?”“Well I for sure did not call him, I don't have his number remember? You refused to give them to me when I asked.” I knew that was a lie but I was sticking to it. It was extremely easy to find his number on that phone. A quick search of the word “master” and I had him on speed dial.Pedro stared at me deeply like he intended to dig the truth out of me with his eyes— it would be easier for a camel to walk through the camel's eye before he succeeded.He gave up a few moments later, “next time, I answe
Reporting from the underworld Airtight gun shed. Chapter Thirteen
Alejandro's POV “From now on, you don’t speak unless I tell you to” he instructed, his words coming in low tones.I stopped in my tracks. This was a turn on for me even though it goes against the way I have lived my life, I always hated being told what to do, worse if you told me how to do them.

Alejandro's POV Luckily, Miguel stepped in. “He was new to the house and got lost when he overheard the conversation and I made him tag along as the accusations were unbelievable even to me.”“I see” Miguel's father said, “same pattern with the accusations of the food being poisoned. Was he lost t
