The Stranger He Becameย ย ย Chapter 43
Alejandro Navarro, famously known as Cassanova, was not a man to be trifled with. He was a notorious figure whose mere presence could strike fear in anyone. When his thick eyebrows furrowed and his face twisted into an expression of anger, his enemies knew that they were in grave danger and would never again see the light of day.The whirring sound of the chainsaw and the screams of Carlos Ortiz were drowned out by the partying sound downstairs."Estupido!" He held him steadily until the sharp, rough blades threatened to tear off his eye."Boss, pleaseโฆpor favor! Por Dios!""Por Dios!"He dropped the machine and hastened for a pen knife, piercing it close to his left eye and spilling blood over the new carpet. The naked girls in the room squirmed.Carlos cried as the knife started to carve out his eyes. Alejandro pushed him to the ground. "That is what happens when you steal from me.""La tira... the cops," Carlos begged to explain."Me vale madre! I don't care!" He sat down and bec

Chloe skipped with joy as she walked into her spacious bedroom closet. Today was the day she had been anxiously waiting for.

He was Alejandro Navarro, one of the most feared men around the globe, and nobody had dared ridicule him.As he sat through the fashion show, he seethed with frustration, knowing that the woman who had dared to make a fool of him was out there somewhere, probably enjoying her freedom. He longed to find her, to make her pay for what she had done. The mere thought of her made his blood boil, and he longed to be free from the confines of the event so that he could seek her out.Alejandro's anger continued to simmer as he watched the models strut down the runway. The display of clothes and colors held no interest for him, and he felt a growing impatience to find her and deal with her as he saw fit. Sofia Herrera, the dimwit who had managed to escape from his well-guarded house the previous night, and he was livid.The thought of what he would do to her once he found her sent a shiver down

D G.Gary scrutinized the photo, tracing his finger over the initials on the man's neck. The letters were undoubtedly significant, but he couldn't be certain of their meaning. DG could stand for anything, even a high-end fashion brand like Dolce and Gabbana.Gary slouched into his armchair, intently examining the initials. The "&" symbol nestled between the letters hinted at the amalgamation of two names, perhaps of lovers. However, the dot punctuating the letters confirmed that it was a complete name.And there was always a place to start. Banking on the possibility that the tattooed man had a criminal record, Gary knew that a call to the New York police department was his only option to access the names of former inmates within the last ten years. Judging from his appearance, the man he was searching for looked to be in his late twenties.Luckily, there was an extent to which he could flex some muscles in the NYPD.

Kylian braced himself against the force of the heavy blow, struggling to maintain his balance. Meanwhile, Max quickly rushed to Chloe's side."I'm sorry, Chloe," he said, his gaze scanning her to ensure she was unharmed.As Chloe struggled to catch her breath following the incident, she watched Kylian intently and couldn't help but think that he had brought this upon himself.Kylian's nose was bleeding profusely, and he knew he had to retreat and live to fight another day. He backed away, holding his nose, feeling the warmth of the blood on his fingers. He couldn't bear the thought of being defeated in front of Chloe, especially by Max. The thought of it was so humiliating and painful for him to bear. It hurt his pride more than anything.Kylian had faced many defeats in business, losing deals to Max and others, but he knew how to move on and recover. However, losing Chloe was a different matter entirely. She was not just a business contract to him. She was his wife, his love, and the

Alejandro threw the penknife in his hand at Carlos, and he ducked it by a breadth."No, Manches?! You cannot find a woman in this small city!" He stood up, seething. "I should have carved your eyes out."Carlos bowed silently."That pinche small rat. She took my moneyโmy gold! And she escaped without any of you seeing her. I want her here alive tonight. If not, you'll pay with your life."If there was anything Alejandro despised, it was being cheated, especially by a womanโa young, helpless woman.He spat. "Pinche idiota!"The large basement's main door opened, and Diego walked in. A smile spread across Alejandro's face immediately."Guey. You know when to make an appearance. I was about to kill my incompetent hand man."Diego glanced at Carlos before returning his cheerful face to Alejandro. "I thought I should stop by since you're still in town."Alejandro sat down and pointed out a spot for Diego. One of the naked girls in the room served him a drink. Diego watched her. "She's new

Chloe pushed the doorbell of the door where she once lived. It felt like ages sheโd been at Emmaโs doorstep. The number of calls and the text messages she had gotten at the wedding made it feel like it had been really something urgent.Sheโd had her doubts about making that visit. The last time she remembered, Emma had wanted her downfall so badly that she had gone to the extent of allying with dangerous criminals, even putting herself in danger in the process.After a while of waiting, she pushed the doorbell yet again. She heard some footsteps trotting steadily in her direction. She held her breath in anticipation as she couldnโt tell why she had been called out there.โChloe,โ Emma said, โYouโre here.โ She hadnโt expected to see her after all.โYeah, Iโm here.โ Chloeโs eyes ran a quick subtle scan through her. Her wandering eyes were caught by the little bump in her belly. She was shocked as she hadnโt been told that part of the story. Maxโฆcome on. He had sadly left out that import

โI look stupid!โ Ollie exclaimed in a mild tone of disappointment as she looked in the mirror one more time. โI look like a total goof.โโNo, Ollie, you donโt,โ Chloe protested as it had taken her and the costumier a considerable amount of time and energy to get her in that. โYou look elegant.โChloe looked over at the other girls on the bridal train as they silently complained about Ollie being way too vocal about her own complaints. And her dress too.โElegant? Are you kidding me right now?โ Ollie seemed like sheโd never be satisfied, even though she was just a few minutes from walking down the aisle.โIโm not. Besides theyโve put in their best to give you the best, so itโs best that you justโฆโ Chloe was out of words as she walked up to Ollie from behind, her tone becoming more and more hushed as he advanced. โGive them your best reaction. The dress is just perfect, Ollie.โThe glistening white wedding gown had a very elegant flay. Maybe just too elegant to the point it puffed proud

Emma was getting uncomfortable in her seat. How had Kylian gotten his hands on all that? It was probably Francis, but how had he gotten to Francis?Her attorney was totally unprepared for that sudden twist in the case. It had been a walkover up until then. That womanโs testimony had them all dumbfoundedโ she, her mother, and her attorney. They were all thrown in disarray.โEmma, when did this happen?โ Her mother, Amelia questioned from behind in a whisper. She had no answer that could appease her motherโs curiosity without implicating her as well. Her lips seemed to shut off their own accord.She knew she was about to face cruel music which she hadnโt rehearsed its dance steps. The look on Kylianโs face when he said, โItโs over,โ almost made her lose it in front of the judge. She would be giving herself away before the case was over if she hadnโt gotten her act together.โYou could have told me about this,โ her attorney whispered faintly in a way that meant that she was really in big

"Donโt worry,โ Kylianโs attorney told him not to do the one thing that his mind had been doing subconsciously since heโd set foot in the courtroom. โYouโll be fine.โโSure I will,โ he said, trying not to discourage his attorney before the grueling duel began. Either way, he wouldnโt be that much of a mess. Worst case scenario, heโd have to see Emma at their board meetings.โKylian,โ his mother called out from behind in a whisper. โKeep your composure out there, our fifty percent depends on it.โโThank you, Mom, youโre doing such a great job at easing me of the pressure of the moment. Very commendable.โ He said, harshly sarcastic.โThank you, Kylian. Just donโt fuck this up for us.โHe was a bit taken aback to hear his mom say the โf-wordโ in public. โItโs really sad you called me just to tell me this.โโNowโs not the time to get in your feelings, young man. Go out there and get our familyโs legacy. Thatโs all the pep talk you need.โAs much as he hated it, she was right. He inhaled de

Max had his shades on as he walked through the construction site on the hot sunny afternoon.โThe long-awaited upward progress has finally begun.โ Mr. Singh mused as he was almost following all of Maxโs footsteps throughout the site.โIsnโt it lovely?โ Max replied with a smile. โFeels like we started just yesterday.โ He was glad that it had been all running smoothly despite him being occupied with all the many personal challenges that he somehow managed to see himself come out on top.โIt sure does.โ Mr. Singh seemed like he had a default positive response for everything he had to say. It had Max wondering if heโd ever get to see Mr. Singh mad, even just once. He itched to see that moment, except that it didnโt have to be on the job that he was doing for him.Max believed that it was all because of the remarkable presentation that he had put forth. He strongly believed that it was still speaking for him up until then. He hadnโt questioned his moves and followed him with blind trust. H

Ollie picked up her phone and dialed frantically, โDid you hear about Alejandro on the news?โ The report on the news seemed untrue, and she assumed that Chloe hadnโt seen it yet. โAlejandro has been arrested on numerous charges?โโYeah, I heard,โ Chloe said, unalarmed like they hadnโt lost one of their biggest potential partners after they had set quite a huge part of their budget plans around him and his cash, especially. โHeโs been arrested.โโYou know what that means?โ Ollie still believed that she wasnโt getting the full scope of the impact of that news in particular. โWhatโs going to become of our plans and all?โIt took Chloe quite some time to get a sigh out from her end of the line. โWell, we are going to figure something out, Ollie.โWhat? She meant to ask but swallowed it in as she sought a much better response but she couldnโt find any other, that forced her to say it out anyway, but more softly and politely that didnโt make it seem like Chloe had said something unreasonabl

โItโs on the news, Chloe,โ Max stared at the TV screen in wild wonder, calling out to Chloe who came running, โThey finally got him.โโBusinessman known as Alejandro Navarro has been finally apprehended by the forces on charges of illegal drug trades, manslaughter, sex traffickingโฆโ the TV presenter went on and on with his many dirty deeds.โDamn, heโs got quite a lot going for him at the moment.โ Max remarked as he reclined on the couch, โGood thing they got him. There couldโve been trouble if they didnโt.โโYeah,โ Chloe said looking on in anticipation, โNothing on Diego yet?โโWait for it.โโAlongside the underground drug lord, the notorious gangster, Diego Gutierrez was also found in the building. After much resistance and shots fired, the swat team was able to break in and apprehend the two men and a few other survivors from the heated exchange.

It was the D-Day of the raid. Gray couldnโt deny how nervous he was, but he had to what had to be done. His heartbeat surged forcefully with each stop and turn of the vehicle.Most of all, he hoped the resistance they had predicted would what theyโd be faced with. Heโd heard stories of how vicious the Mexicans could be, and he didnโt want the mission to be a continuation of that tale.โAlright,โ he finally got the courage to speak up amid the men in the large trunk of the van, he was about to attempt to make them not feel what he was feeling. He took out the large tablet that had the blueprint of the building.โThe operation is simple.โ He didnโt believe it was, but he had to say it anyway. โFirst, we surround all possible exits of the villa, which include the main gate, the back gate, and one other hidden gate on the Eastern side of the fenceโฆโโSecond, we ask Alejandro and his men to come out peaceably.

Kylian tapped on the door, hoping that heโd somehow made it to the right door, following Mayaโs directions to her place.The block of flats had way more homes than it appeared to have while viewing it from the outside. One could easily get lost in there. It had him wondering how the inhabitants kept from mistaking another door for theirs.He tapped yet again. He heard some faint footsteps approaching the door and expected to see Mayaโs dazzling face. He could hear hands working desperately at the lock and that made him brim with anticipation.Finally, he thought, till the door opened for him to see a tall macho man with overgrown beards and tattoos scattered all over his body. The shock from seeing the stranger made him almost unable to speak. He had heavy rock music pounding in his apartment.โCan I help you mate?โ his deep voice could make anybodyโs knees buckle with frightful intimidation.โSorryโฆI came to the wrong door,โ Kylian broke out in an uncoordinated stutter, โI was lookin
