An old Heartwell trait. I could write the statement. I could see it. Gracious, wounded, dignified. One perfect paragraph that would make the kind editors sympathetic and the cruel ones bored. I’d spent my whole life learning to hand people the version of me that cost me the least. My hands actually itched for it. “You’ve written it in your head,” Michael said, not looking up from his screen. He had changed clothes. Of course he had. Somewhere between gunfire, fake dating and discovering a dead billionaire’s client code, the man had found time to put on a fresh black shirt.

"If you want me to apologize for my past, I can. But remember, I’ve lived a long life, Cecily. I’m not a saint—I’ve had relationships, felt emotions, just like anyone else. But if you're blaming me for something more than that, it's unfair. I’ve never been in two relationships at the same time. When I met you, I had been single for a long time." "I'm sorry," I muttered, pulling away from his grasp. "I shouldn't have said that." Michael had a point. He had lived for over a century—longer than I could even comprehend. Of course, he had been with other women before me, women with angelic faces and irresistible allure. The way he flirted so effortlessly with me hinted at his experience. Yet, it

Michael went back to the kitchen. He finished the rest of the biscuits and emptied the cup of his almost cold coffee. He turned on the radio and tuned into his favorite station. He didn’t mind the macabre, sacrilegious act of violence and media he was hearing about. The world is beautiful even with all the omnipresent evil, rascals, tragedies, wars and death. Life is wonderful as long as we can see it's good sides, not just the negative. ‘I live! I woke up! A new day is ahead of me! This is the most important thing!’

“Try another aisle.” “I like this one. Has all the secrets, doesn’t it?” I clenched my teeth and turned toward the checkout line. The wheels of my cart rolled faster now, as if trying to flee the moment before I did. I didn’t look back, but I felt him following. "You know," he said, casually leaning on the divider at the register as I started unloading the cart, "Michael always had a thing for the domestic life. I remember once, back in Miami, he cooked dinner for the crew. Chicken parmesan, candlelight, the whole thing. Fernando called him ‘soft’ for weeks."

Alexandre had looked for his mate between eighteen and twenty-one, but had given up looking, telling his father that one day he would find her. Michael, in turn, said he was in no hurry. He spent his free time in human bars, having sex with women and men who succumbed to his charms. That was the way he had to deal with not being able to touch the man he had loved forever. That was another secret he kept. He was bisexual.

The man’s eyes moved to Michael sitting beside me at the table, before he says, “Many of our men perished at the hands of his beloved master.” All eyes turned to look at Michael, who raised his hands in the air, before he said, “That was way before my time old man. Remember I was born here only a century ago, and I had no stake in that war. I can’t help it if my parents did, and I was born into his leadership.” “Then why do you worship a man that is pure evil like that?” Came from my lips to Michael before I could stop it, but in a way, I was happy that it had, because I honestly wanted to know why he chose those people over people like this.

RICHARD "How about the bar and a beer?" "A beer?" "I really appreciate the help you've been giving Elizabeth with those old papers of Albert's. The least I can do is buy you a drink." "Thank you, Richard. That's a great idea." "This round's on me." ***** "So, are you finding anything of interest in that appalling pile of garbage from Elizabeth's old uncle?" Michael muses into his glass. "Depends what you're looking for I suppose, but it's actually quite interesting, seeing someone else's life like this. Once you get past thirty-year-old bus tickets, you find the things that really tell you something."

“Are you really sure you don't want a taste?” I nodded. “I'm a hundred percent sure.” “Your loss though,” he pointed at his meal. “You are snoozing on a masterpiece.” After eating, we remained at the dining room. Michael kept engaging in a conversation with me and often I would try to get to know about his daily activities, searching for even a hint that would link to Leo's disappearance. But just as usual, Michael was too smart to disclose anything that would jeopardize him. He told me about how he lavish his money on various fun activities, what he loved to do when he was bored and many other useless talks. None was about his activities as a drug lord.

"Fine, but make it quick. I don't want you anywhere near me." Michael nodded and began recounting the events that had led to his sudden departure from our homeland. He spoke of a dangerous conspiracy that had threatened not only his life but also mine and Marco's. He had been forced into hiding to protect us all, believing that by staying away, he could keep us safe. He explained how he had been gathering information, seeking allies, and working tirelessly to dismantle the nefarious plots that had been woven around us.
