That night, José's voice downstairs woke Eilleen from her deep sleep. She quickly grabbed her robe and went downstairs, and even Josh had woken up because of José's loud voice. He was on a phone call, shouting and threatening the person on the other end.“What do you mean my goods are gone?” José roared. “I will kill you and your family if I don't get everything back by tomorrow morning! You are the head of the school and that's why I paid you to keep my goods safe in that school, where no one would suspect anything, and now you've lost it. You had only one job—to keep it safe!”Eilleen knew immediately that José had found out about what happened at the school. His men were standing around him, and her eyes moved toward Mike. He stood there with a stone-cold expression on his face, looking as though he had no idea what had happened to the goods José was talking about. In fact, if she hadn't seen him earlier that day at the school, she would have believed his act, but she knew exactly

“Can’t you just text the detective to go check it out? Since you can’t go check it out yourself,” Mrs. Maya said after Eilleen told her all her plans.“No, I don’t want to send him on a goose chase. And any careless move could make José realize that we are onto him.”“That’s true,” Mrs. Maya replied, nodding her head.“I just need an excuse to leave this house. José is already paranoid about everyone, so I need to be careful.”That evening, José called all the maids in the mansion. He questioned them one after another, asking if they knew anything about the safe house. He threatened them to speak up immediately because if he found out that any of them knew about it and kept silent, he would make them pay for it.The night was quiet.Eilleen had just taken her bath and was ready to retire to bed. She had been watching the game with Josh. It had just been the two of them, so she quietly sat beside him and watched until the game was over. Afterward, she packed her hair into a ponytail an

The hours passed, and Eilleen hadn't heard from Mrs. Maya.She had sent her several messages, but she hadn't received any reply. She didn't want to risk calling her because she didn't know what kind of situation Mrs. Maya was in. Her heart began to beat faster as she imagined all the things that could have gone wrong.Unable to sleep, Eilleen went downstairs to get some water. She sat in the kitchen, staring at her phone as if looking at it long enough would somehow make a message from Mrs. Maya appear.A few minutes later, Mike walked into the kitchen.He had an orange in one hand.Eilleen cursed under her breath. As if she didn't already have enough to worry about, Mike had decided to add to her frustration and anger.Mike picked up the kitchen knife that was lying on the table in the middle of the kitchen and began peeling the orange.Eilleen sat quietly, praying that he would finish and leave the kitchen—or better yet, leave this universe and this earth for good.Mike sat opposite

As soon as Detective Alvarez received the message from Eilleen, he immediately started putting his team together. They took turns hiding around the port, keeping a close eye on the boat.This was a very big opportunity for him, and he was taking it very seriously.José Santiago was a big criminal in New York who somehow had no criminal record at all. For the last sixteen years, Alvarez had been after José Santiago, and every time he felt like he finally had him, something would happen and the evidence would never be enough.But this time was different.For the first time, he had something strong.Something strong enough to bring José Santiago in custodyThis case was personal to him. It was a case he had poured in sweat and blood into, and he wasn't ready to give up now. Not at all.This was a golden opportunity, and he wasn't going to let it slip through his fingers.He also couldn't let down the person who was risking his or her life to provide him with this information.For five d

Eileen went to bed very early that night.She was so frustrated and emotionally exhausted that her whole body felt weak. She had spent the entire day waiting for some kind of news from Detective Alvarez, but nothing came. Every time she checked the secret phone, there was nothing new. Every minute that passed made her feel like she had made a huge mistake by putting her hope in the detective.She tossed and turned for a while before finally falling asleep.When she woke up at 6:30 a.m., she immediately felt a dull headache pounding against her temples. She sat up slowly, rubbing her forehead before reaching for a tablet of ibuprofen. She swallowed it with some water and sat on the edge of the bed for a few seconds.She felt tired.Not the kind of tiredness that sleep could fix.She was tired of being afraid. Tired of hiding. Tired of pretending everything was normal while secretly waiting for the next disaster to happen.Eventually, she dragged herself out of bed and walked toward Jos
