“It seems strange to me that he has not shown up; please, Luis, find out where they are; Liz is not answering me either, nor are any of the gastronomic bodyguards; we have to start a search.”“Don Angelo, the last thing we know is that they went to his mine, then to a drug dealer who just got out of jail in the United States, and from there they went back to the mine to talk to a man named Molina; he was about to send men to look for him.”“I can't stand the anguish that is devouring me; if I am here alone waiting, let's go; get the helicopters ready.”“Chief, Mrs. Ximena took both of them; rent another one; they won't take long to arrive”.“I don't need just one; I have to take several guys; this operation can be very dangerous. Max is getting close to her, and the very slippery one hasn't let himself be killed.”“Chief, let's go by land; we will be a small army; let's leave at once; anyway, that place is about four hours away; even at this time of the night, the road must be empty;

“I've stopped crying, Mr. White; you look like a child. I remind you that if you don't go with your big mouth to Mrs. Ximena, nothing is going to happen to you. She is going to go to the mine; you better get dressed up and go to that place; watch your tongue, or you will end up in a hole deeper than a mine shaft, is that clear?”The poor, terrified guy just shakes his head in the affirmative and starts to smell horrible.“Well, I'll leave you; please take a bath because you smell bad; we don't want you to make a bad impression on the boss either.”He slaps him gently, and they leave without a trace. Almost that Don White questioned if it was just a nightmare, although without hesitation he gets up to take a shower, where he cried so that his tears were confused with the jets of the bath column, which had gold trim and buttons with emeralds, “how unnecessary, it is only luxury, something for people to admire or envy me, they would surely hate me, if I had to label in each thing the or

“Ximena, we have to do something to rescue my parents; Angelo is taking too long with that.” “Emily, you're right; I'm already hiring a group of mercenaries that know that sector; most of them are professional soldiers, retired, that work taking care of oil wells for Liz's father.” “Those are perfect; since they know those mountains, can I go with you?” “Of course not, sis; it's going to be very dangerous. We are going disguised as a special brigade of Catholic missionaries; we will go disguised as nuns and priests to mislead those slugs.” “When are you leaving, sis?” “We are already here; I am the nun Maria Price; I am a surprise; see you later; I will call you later.” Ximena got off disguised as a nun with a bible in her hand, accompanied by about twenty priests and five nuns. When they arrived at the farm where they had been kidnapped, they were met by a group of heavily armed men who asked them, “What is offered to you, father, and sisters?” “We have come to perform a mass,

“Liz, it's complicated, going back to this hustle and bustle again. I miss the beach and the sea. I'm really thinking of buying an island for myself. Likewise, I don't know why people from there like to go on vacation here to Bogotá, to this cold land where those conquistadors clumsily founded the city.”“Don't take it against everything, that pregnancy is affecting you a lot, the conquistadors founded the city for its quantity of water sources, that now most of them are polluted or canalized, besides the climate that doesn't produce so many dangerous diseases or poisonous bugs, for those times that was the ideal, now we have better medical science but nothing to cure the temperament of a crazy woman like you, my dear Ximena, anyway it is easier to wrap up warm in a cold climate than to cool off in one of those towns that are branches of hell.”“It's all this; the truth is that it makes me want to postpone my career for about fifty semesters.”“Ha, ha, ha, ha, my friend, don't be so e

“As a first measure, I propose to sue those who accuse us of manufacturing radioactive jewelry, since that is impossible because of our high quality standards in manufacturing; second, we will advertise on social networks and apps; and third, we will launch new products such as jewelry for men and pets, which are little explored markets. I also plan to launch a line of high luxury, which will be only for billionaires; we will call it Midas as the King, because everything he touched was transformed into gold; plus a line of exclusive perfumes, for which I am already negotiating the purchase of a factory.”“Excellent, boss, those decisions are very wise.”The meeting ended successfully, although I felt like a clown on the outside. I made an effort to put on a smile, but inside I felt bad. I was worried because it was possible that I was to blame, even indirectly; perhaps my dark enemies harmed some innocent people for hurting me, or they, in their eagerness to enrich themselves, had com
