In the city of Barcelona, inside one of the biggest Mansions in the area, was Mateo. He was angry, angry at the fact that Santiago was able to play a trick on him, he was forced out of Madrid because of him. "You are not going to defeat me Santiago, I'm going to be greater than you. Just wait let me find out who you are, I'm going to make sure that you are taken out of this world. I am the only one who has to be the greatest Mafia of all time." He called one of his men who are still in Madrid to find out if anything has happened. "Give me the update," he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and placed it on his lip. "Nothing has happened here boss, the police officers you paid to get rid of our men who were captured by the police, have done their job and no one suspects them. We've given them the complete payment already and we took care of their families too, no one will know that they ever worked for you." The man replied. "Great, it's time for me to clear my

Ruth glared at him for saying such to her friend before entering the car, she held Dera's hand and placed her head on her shoulder while Dera held her cheek. They got to the restaurant where Robert had booked a table for them, they were directed to a private room, away from prying eyes. A waitress came with the menu and they ordered, while waiting for their meal, Dera and Ruth began to chit-chat. "After Mom and I left for Italy, things were going just fine. Life was okay but it didn't last for long, after I graduate from the university, my mom passed away. She had cancer and hid it from me, I only found out when the cancer had spread out and there was nothing to do about it." She paused to blink back the tears that were threatening to fall down her cheeks while Ruth on the other hand was already tearing up. Dera cleaned her cheeks with a sleeve of her ash sweatshirt, "I didn't know what to do, I thought of coming back home but decided against it. After mourning the death of my mo

Santiago pulled her to sit on his thigh, he hooked his hand around her waist and placed his head on her chest. Andrew shook his head and left the office, he couldn't sit and watch them feed him dog food. "What is making stressed? Is it the meeting you had with Mateo?" She asked, "No, have I ever told you about my parents?" Santiago asked and she shook her head. "I was found in front of an Orphanage by a sister, my mom had abandoned me there with a note. I grew up without knowing who my parents were, I was raised in a small orphanage. One day, when I was only five years old, I was adopted by a couple, and they took me back home with them, I was happy someone had taken me with them, I finally had people I could my parents but I was very shy around them." He paused and smiled. "Not once did they make me feel like I was adopted, they loved me dearly. When I was twelve, my dad took me to the field and placed cans on a bench, he gave me a gun and stood behind me while my mom

"I searched for you Dera, Mi amor please forgive me. I've not dated or touched anyone else since that day. I have not stopped loving you Dera." He held her kneeled in front of her and gazed into her eyes. "Dera listen to Andrew, I haven't known him for long but I can vouch that he is a good guy," Ruth said. "But I went through hell, I had a miscarriage, I had to start all over again because of him." She sobbed. "Mi amor, ¡Lo siento!" Andrew couldn't think of anything else to say except sorry. "Dera I know you have gone through a lot without him by your side but he didn't know. He went looking for you even though he wasn't fully recovered." Ruth cleaned her tears with her thumb. "Is there anything else you have to tell me, Andrew?" She didn't want any more surprises. He stared at Santiago before deciding to tell her, "Yes there is, you'll decide if you want to stay with me after listening to what I have to say to you." "Is it something to worry about because you are making

Her punishment was served hard, both couples fell asleep in each other's arms. While the couples were fast asleep, the police were holding a meeting, a new general has been transferred to the force. "¿Tenemos alguna pista en el caso de Santiago De León?" (Do we have any leads in the case concerning Santiago De León?)"Ninguna, cada vez que obtenemos una ventaja, resulta ser una mentira." (none, every time we get a lead, it turns out to be a lie ) As they were talking, the general received a message. It was a tip of Santiago's warehouse. "I've received a tip from an unknown source," he informed his team. "How can we trust the source of that information? We've been giving a lot of tips but every time we go there, we see nothing. No trace of drugs or Santiago. And to think we don't even know the face of the man we are hunting, we only know his name and that's it." One of the officers complained. "Have run a background check on the people who bear that name?" The general asked.
