As Evangeline approaches, the unknown man looks at her. He leaves William talking to himself and walks away to talk to another unknown person. "Uncle, what did he say?" Evie asks. "Oh, Evie... he came up with a story that this field was from city hall and someone bought it today.” "So what?” "Apparently the new owner wants that place empty today to start building work tomorrow.” "But that’s absurd!" Evangeline looks around, trying to find someone to complain about. "They can’t do that. They can’t!” And in the middle of that hole, Evangeline’s phone starts ringing. She ignores it, without even seeing who it is. Her biggest problem at the time was trying to better understand what was going on and where she was going to sleep that night. But after the phone starts ringing for the fifth time, she decides to answer the private number call. "What is it? Who are you?” "Go somewhere far from all those people.” She didn’t have to ask who it was for the second time. As has b

That word came out like a whisper in the wind. Evie never knew where her father was or what had made him leave. I knew his name, but I had no idea what his face looked like. Evangeline believed the story that Leah maintained, about him dropping them off in that field alone and being driven around the world. Seeing those envelopes, Evie thought that maybe that wasn’t true. She takes the envelope that was still sealed and opens it. There was some $50 bills and a brief letter. Evie read it carefully. Dear Evangeline, I can imagine why you didn’t answer my letters. Actually, I’m sure. Leah isn’t passing them to you. I should have guessed so you didn’t answer the first, twelve years ago. I hope at least she used the money I sent, to try to meet some need of yours. Anyway, I still expect an answer and the certainty that you are willing to hear my version of my departure. God knows what madness Leah has spread. Evie big, I love you. I miss you so much. I hope one day we can see each

There was also a weapons room underground, but Alec didn’t want to scare her. He still wondered how she was able not to know about them being mobsters, since Leah has been working there for a few years. When they returned to the house, they saw the figure of Cedric at the top of the stairs. Evangeline had no idea who he was, but no one who was in the room she broke into was able to forget the girl with the red hair. "Can you wait for me on the porch?" Alec asks Evangeline, as soon as they approach Cedric. "I’ll be right there.” She states with her head and gives a simple smile to Cedric, before going to the balcony. Alec hopes she’s far enough away to confront her new partner. "What are you doing here?” "When you said you had solved that matter," Cedric points with his head, in the direction of Evangeline. "everyone believed. Imagine what your father and the other investors will say when they find out what’s going on here.” "You don’t know what’s going on here, to want

While showering, Alec thought about the man he killed and what probably happened to Ruby. And even if he tried not to think about it, it was almost impossible. It wasn’t like him to be violent. Alec had had a somewhat quiet childhood. He vaguely remembered eating all meals next to his parents and older sister. Everything changed when he turned sixteen and discovered that his mother had an affair with the family driver. Alec was desolate, crying on the steps of the mansion, when his father arrived. The boy hesitated, but ended up telling his father what he found out. Blake was furious and went screaming for his wife around the house. He found her in the pool, tanning and a few meters away, was the driver, washing one of the cars. He confronted her and questioned whether that was true. Unmoved by the accusation, Dominique shrugged and continued the sunbath. Until Blake stepped up on her and the driver decided to intervene. At that moment, he was sure that his son had spoken the t

Although he had never been in a relationship, Alec dragged sighs, kisses and sexes, wherever he went. But none of the women he once took to bed had the purity that Evie carried. None of them would be able to go to the opera and find it all magnificent. They would probably sleep or even accept that kind of exit. The Castello family had a private cabin. They were invited to all the performances at that theater, due to the immense donation they make every year. And even though they are not very frequent there, no one was allowed to occupy those places. Then when Alec and Evangeline arrive there is a man occupying one of the chairs. Knowing that his family accumulates enemies, Alec puts an arm before Evangeline and gently pushes her back. She doesn’t understand that act right, but remains quiet. Alec slowly approaches, touching the gun that was stuck in his waist. "Excuse me?" he says, and the stranger looks at him. "I don’t know who you are, but this cabin is private. It belong
