A Step into the Past

CHARLOTTE“Hello, Maria,” I said as I pushed the door open and walked into the room. I had been waiting a long time to see her face, and the instant I had the opportunity to do so, I didn’t wait one second longer.I made sure things at the club were going as planned, entrusted the care of the business to Sonia’s hands, and left L.A. at the crack of dawn the next morning.Leaving the city I had run to for a fresh start and going back to a place I didn’t think I’d ever return to in a very long time filled me with apprehension. I wasn’t sure what to expect.Maria didn’t know I was coming for obvious reasons. The last thing I wanted was to make her worry about me, but this had to be done.This was my fight, and I had seen enough of what happened to people who got caught in the crossfire to know that I needed to be there to handle things myself.A part of me hoped I wouldn’t see Rogerio. I hadn’t thought about him in a while, and I was happy about it.I expected him to be married to his ne

She is coming

ROGERIOElena and I hadn’t spoken since the argument she had at my house, and I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not.The picture I had picked up when she stormed out was still with me; it currently lay on my office desk and distracted me from all the work I had planned to do that day.I longed to ask her how she had gotten a picture of Charlotte, but given the current circumstances, that wasn’t a question she’d like to answer.I had a feeling she’d turn the case around and say that I had come up with the picture to start an argument and make things worse by stating that it was probably the reason I didn’t show up at the church.My thoughts bounced all over the place. Each question I asked myself had an answer and a corresponding question that was left unanswered. I shook my head at how disorganized my thought process was and how confusing everything had become.“I have to get to the bottom of this. I have to know how she got this picture,” I mumbled over and over again as I th

Rejected

ROGERIOWe made our way to the hospital, where Maria had been admitted. Finding it wasn’t the hard part. That was public knowledge at this point. Getting in, on the other hand... now that was something else.If I wasn’t already angry enough, I could feel my frustration tipping over as the nurse at the reception desk shook her head.“I’m sorry, sir, but we can’t give out information to non-family members.”I looked at her like she had grown an extra head, resisting the urge to ask if she knew who she was speaking to. Somehow, I had a feeling that even if she did, it wouldn’t change anything.There were still institutions where my family’s influence meant nothing, especially in cases like this, but I decided to give it a try.“What do you mean, ‘non-family members?’ The incident happened at my estate. I practically grew up there with Maria as my caregiver. If anyone should be on that list, it should be me. Please check again. The name’s Rogerio. Rogerio Thuthai,” I said.She sighed. “I

She is back

ELENAThe day was going better than I had anticipated, and I hoped nothing would change that. I hadn’t spoken to Rogerio in a while, and quite frankly, my mental health had improved.I was still annoyed about being stood up at the church, that was a grudge I intended to carry for the rest of my life. If he wanted me to feel what it was like to be made a fool in front of everyone, he had succeeded.But now, it was time to stop playing games and actually set another date for the wedding.He seemed reluctant to do that, and it made me angrier by the minute, at least until Keisha suggested we take a trip out of Milan for a few days. She had some business to attend to in Mauritius and felt that a change of scenery would do me a lot of good.I reluctantly agreed but asked for two days to put some things in place. When I was certain that everything I wanted was going according to plan, I packed a few bags, and we left on her husband’s private plane. Well… it was hers now. He was dead, and ev

Gifts

CHARLOTTENo matter what I did, my mind always wandered to the picture of Thiago and me. I couldn’t place the feeling I had upon seeing it, but I knew that the night he had taken me home, I saw him take out his phone to do something.I had been drunk from the party and thought it was just a fuzzy memory at the time, but the more I thought about it, the clearer it became. Thiago had taken a picture of me, and then he had taken another of both of us.I could bet that in both pictures, I had been too inebriated to stop him.That was in the past now. The question that lodged itself at the back of my mind was, why?I desperately wanted to confront him about it, but I knew it was neither the time nor the place to do so. There were more pressing issues at hand, and I needed to attend to those first.We had gone through the gifts that had been sent earlier, and just when we thought it was over and things had quieted down, more gifts poured in.It irritated me as much as it fascinated me. I ha

She is everywhere

CHARLOTTEI was in a daze, unable to fully process what had happened. All I felt was the detective’s hand on my arm, pulling me away, and my feet followed him until we reached the car that had brought us to the restaurant.He opened the door, told me to get in, looked around, then entered and instructed the driver to move as quickly as possible.Our driver, pale and visibly frightened, obliged as I kept looking back at the restaurant. The sound of the ignition starting and the engine revving pulled me back to the present, and I stared at my hands in shock.There were droplets of blood on them. I could feel something sliding down my forehead, but I was too terrified to check what it was.“Maria,” I muttered, turning to look at the restaurant, which had faded into the distance as the sound of police sirens grew louder.I lowered my hands, turned to the detective, and swallowed hard. I wanted to ask him if this was all just a dream, but his grim expression gave me the answer I was too af

Searching

ROGERIOSpeaking to Elena had infuriated me more than I anticipated. She didn’t admit to being responsible for what had happened at the estate, which was expected and smart. It would be foolish to say, “Yes, I sent people to harass innocent people,” but I knew that if she was truly behind it, she would try to cover her tracks.Perhaps being in Mauritius was the first step in removing herself from the suspect list. She had an alibi; she wasn’t in the city when it happened. And if I knew anything about her relationship with Keisha, it was that her friend would stand solidly behind her, swearing she had nothing to do with it.Now that I had gotten that conversation out of the way, I had to make sure this wasn’t linked to my family in any way. I also had to find a way to see Maria. I knew she was angry that I hadn’t paid the issue any real attention when she pointed it out to me, but I knew her, she could only stay angry for so long.I’ve never taken her forgiving heart for granted, but I

My fight

ELENAI decided to call Rogerio. With the way things were going, it was evident that I couldn’t go back to Milan right away, and staying in contact with him was the only way I could make sure things hadn’t been blown out of proportion.But I knew I couldn’t show how I was really feeling. It was important to maintain a nonchalant facade and hope he said something that would give me a hint or let me know what was going on.He picked up on the first ring, but the background noise was too much, so I hung up and decided to call back after a few minutes. I paced the room, thinking about what could’ve possibly happened in the last few hours.After he called, I reached out to my father’s men, the ones who handled work he didn’t want linked back to him, to clear up anything that could put me in the middle of the mess Rogerio said was brewing. But they hadn’t gotten back to me yet.I sighed, picked up the phone, and called Rogerio again. He answered immediately but seemed a little distracted.“

Maria’s lifeless body

CHARLOTTEThe past few days had been harder than I expected. I spent most of my time awake during the day, and at night, I wandered through the city streets.It felt strange to be outside without Sonia’s watchful eyes monitoring my every step, but at the same time, it was freeing. I was in a new place, a different city where I didn’t know anyone, and no one knew what I was up to.Not that there was much to know. I was grieving.The walks helped, if only temporarily. They took my mind off the image of Maria’s lifeless body, an image that seemed permanently etched into my memory.For fleeting moments, the thrill of being somewhere new replaced the weight of my sorrow.I realized I hadn’t made any plans beyond securing a place to stay, and to be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to doing anything special here.“She’d want you to be happy,” a woman’s voice said from behind me.I spun around, startled, my heart skipping a beat at the unexpected interruption.My eyes met hers, and my face tw

Protection

CHARLOTTEHe started by explaining how he had sent the plane to the last destination where I had been dropped off, but when his guards searched for me, they couldn’t find me.He made them comb the city from the airport to the outskirts, and when the results were unsatisfactory, he decided to take extra measures to find me.“Why was it so important for you to find me?” I asked, trying to conceal my irritation.“I was worried when the pilot reported that he had dropped you off in Milan. At first, I was comfortable because it was a familiar ground. But when the guards couldn’t find you, I started to worry. When I called and we spoke, you didn’t seem fine, which made things worse. So I asked my… detectives to trace the phone signal.”“That feels like a breach of privacy, Thiago,” I responded, and he shrugged.“It is, but you left me no choice. Ignoring my calls made it worse. At that point, I had to do something.”“How…” I began but decided to rephrase my question. It suddenly dawned on m
