LOGINThings are getting tense, innit?
Kara was already seated at the dining table when Luci came down, her hair still slightly damp from the shower. Jairo came in last. Brie served and everyone began eating in a comfortable silence. "I want you to pick me up from school today," Luci said, addressing Jairo across the table.He looked at her over his coffee. "What's wrong with Andro?""Nothing. I just want you to come. It's been a while since you did."He considered this for a moment. "After three," she said."After three," he confirmed.Kara glanced between them with a small smile she didn't try to hide. ..He arrived at the school gates at ten past three. She was waiting on the low wall outside with her bag between her feet and her phone in her hand. She looked up when his car pulled in and came over.She got in. He pulled out. For a few minutes they were quiet."Tests done?" he asked."Final one was this morning. I think it went well. The preparation helped." she leaned back in the seat."Good.""Alejandro drilled me
Donald went to Jairo's house that evening. Before he started working for Jairo, he had told his boss that there will come a time when he would wish to stop working for him, and focus on his path.Now was the time.Jairo was taken aback by the timing. He stared at his right-hand, and without telling him, he realized he had gotten his woman back. But Jairo knew what was at stake. Even Donald knows it. He wasn't just going to leave without handing his tasks over to someone. And Donald mentioned Alejandro.“He's ready, or close to it. When he's fully there, I will go." he said, to make Jairo see that he wasn't just leaving without thinking about how long they had been together."I decide when he's there," Jairo declared firmly, his eyes hardened. “When I look at Andro and see what I see when I look at you, then we talk about you leaving." He held Donald's gaze.Donald sat with that for a moment. Then he nodded."Alright," he said.He then turned around to leave when Jairo spoke up. “Are
Eloise was at a small-rented apartment when she heard a knock on the door. The past weeks had left a particular kind of tiredness that sleep didn't resolve. She went to open the door and was surprised to see Donald standing there.“Brother?” she called in surprise.Since the day she was rescued, he hadn't come to see her. She totally understood that he was busy. Before he could say anything, she stepped forward and hugged him tightly.“I’m so sorry,” she apologized quickly. “I’m sorry for everything. For being careless, for not listening, for getting myself into trouble…”Donald gently patted her back. “It’s okay. You’re safe now. That’s what matters.”He then pulled back slightly. “I didn’t come alone.”She frowned a little. “You didn’t?”He stepped aside, and two men walked forward.Fernando appeared first and she froze for that moment, completely shocked.“Dad?” He looked at her, also emotional. “Eloise…”She walked toward him hugged him too. “Dad, I'm so sorry.” she apologized, a
Jairo was finally discharged from the hospital a few days later. He still needed to rest and recover fully, but he was strong enough to go home. Everyone was relieved to have him back.That evening, Kara kept looking at him, trying to find the right moment to tell him her news. She had rehearsed the words in her head many times, but now that he was actually in front of her, she suddenly felt nervous.He noticed her strange behavior. “Why do you keep looking at me like that?”She hesitated, then said, “I need to tell you something.”He immediately became serious. “What is it? Is everything okay?”She nodded quickly. Her lips twitched, but the nerves didn’t leave. “Everything is fine. It’s… it’s actually good news. I think.”“You think?”She exhaled, already flustered. “I mean, it is good news. I just don’t know how to say it without sounding…” she bit her lips.“Kara, you’re scaring me a little.” That made her laugh nervously. “Don’t be.”“Too late.”She took a deep breath. Her fing
Kara went to the agency a few days later. The first thing she noticed was that Elira was not around. She asked one of the models while waiting for Victoria. “Her brother passed away. She’s been away, preparing for his funeral.”She froze.“Her brother… died?” she repeated softly.The woman nodded.She didn’t say anything else, but her mind started racing. She remembered the brother, couldn’t help but wonder if he was somehow connected to Salvatore.She met Victoria who apologized for what happened. She nodded slowly. “It’s okay.”Victoria looked at her carefully. “Although… you look like you’ve added a bit of weight.”She frowned immediately. “That’s not possible. I have been following the diet strictly.”Victoria didn’t argue. “Let’s check.”They both went into the assessment room, and Kara stepped onto the scale. They both looked at the result, and her eyes widened.She had gained four kilograms.“What?” she said in disbelief. “That’s not possible…”Victoria looked at the numbers a
It was reported that Salvatore Vitale had tried to attack an officer while in custody. According to the official story online, he had hidden a knife and used it suddenly, leaving the officer with no choice but to act in self-defense.By the end of it, he was dead.People talked about it in different ways. Some believed the story completely. Some questioned it quietly but said nothing out loud. Others simply accepted it and moved on. For most, it was the end of a powerful and dangerous man...Days later, the atmosphere at the Jones house was much lighter. Emilia had been staying there for a while now, and slowly, she was getting used to everything. It started to feel normal.That day, she was in the living room with Edward. They were arguing over something small, both of them talking at the same time.“That’s not how it works.” Edward insisted.“It is. You’re just doing it wrong.” she argued back.He laughed. “You don’t even remember how it works.”She paused for a second, then frown
Jairo arrived at the office with a restless mind and Donald didn’t waste any time filling him in on everything he had uncovered. The woman and her family lived not too far from the city. Their house address had already been secured. The boy Jairo had seen earlier turned out to be a student at Luci
Dinner passed quietly, the soft clinking of cutlery filling the room. Luci barely touched her food while Kara kept stealing glances at her. The silent exchange didn’t go unnoticed for long.Jairo saw it but chose to ignore it at first. When it became obvious that something was being avoided, he fin
“What’s wrong, sir?” the woman asked gently. Her accent made it obvious she wasn’t Italian. Jairo snapped out of his frozen state almost immediately. He forced his expression back to normal, shook his head once and turned away from her. He entered his car but before starting the engine, he leaned
Kara and Luci finalized their quiet plan, and shortly after, Luci slipped out of her room. Only a few minutes passed before Jairo walked in. “Hey,” she greeted, sitting cross-legged on her bed with her phone in hand, her back resting against the headboard. “Hi,” he replied, already pulling off his
