Rio 2 Roberto Novels & Stories

Her silver hair glinted in the light. Roberto handed her a teacup before sitting beside me on the low brick ledge, his fingers playing absently with a sprig of mint from the nearby herb bed. She took a sip, then turned sharply to him. “Where are your brothers?” she asked. “Why didn’t Deniro and your Abuela return with you?” I felt Roberto go still beside me. “Deniro had a sudden meeting,” he said, voice even. “A new client, some foreign investor who needs help with real estate paperwork. It was urgent.”

Ríos hugged his husband. “That’s the reason I was there! And that young man is Agustin’s boyfriend. And do you know who did it? Gio Robles.” They all froze and Ríos stood up. “Who did you say?” he asked. Ander looked at him. “Gio Robles, one of the board members of the organization and foundation.” Ríos’s eyes widened, and he cursed loudly before slamming the table. “I knew it! So, what happened?”

He was about to apologize but then Alejandro burst into laughter and made him confusingly laughing too. “Well, a cockroach is bit too much, Robert. You guys underestimate me a lot,” he replied, controlling his laugh. Robert nodded. Both were gasping, trying to calm down. “And please call me Alejandro. I’m like your son, not like a son but at least a nephew, right?” Alejandro suddenly changed the topic of conversation. Robert miraculously lightened his mood. “You are more than my son to me. I can give my life for you, Señor.” Robert replied.

When I break it down this way it appears less complicated than it actually is in my head, my brain has come up with different theories for everything. Javier most likely murdered Robert in order to ensure that the investigation into him holds no water. Robert was going to be the prime testifier and our most valuable informant in a very long time and now he is dead. I don't even know how Javier got to him again but one thing is sure, he is definitely working with someone in the agency or people. That is definitely another fact I need to put up on the board ‘corrupt cops’.

He gives Ricardo the cigarette and takes the Cuban cigar for himself and lites it up. After two drags, he gives Ricardo the lighter to help himself with his cigar. Mr Roberto puffed out his cigar for a while before he begins speaking. "Do you like my daughter?." He asks straight-out. Ricardo who was still struggling to light his cigarette gave him a response quickly. "Which of your daughters boss?." "The one you just left her room. Lucia." He answers smartly. Ricardo knows what Mr Roberto implies by pointing that he just left Lucia's room. Which ever answer he gives, Mr Roberto would definitely still do whatever he feels like with him so Ricardo doesn't responds to his question.

So Robert was lying. "I don't believe a thing you're saying, Robert." Mrs. Olivia uttered in a disappointed voice. Robert was startled after hearing her say that she didn't believe him, and when he glanced at Mr. Rodrigo, he could see that he was not buying it too. Robert opened his lips to reply, but he couldn't as Mr. Rodrigo spoke up quickly. "Robert is no longer the CEO of Electro Industries," Mr. Rodrigo said, with finality in his tone, as he looked at everyone.

Upon hearing her reason, Roberto looked sideways at Javier, his frown making it clear he suspected them of having been together all night. Javier’s jaw clenched. “Aren’t we going to swim?” he asked tersely. “Let’s head to the pool,” said Roberto, still a bit sullen. He was wearing a brief white pair of trunks, slung low on the hip, his body smoothly golden from the sun. Against his brown body his white hair looked even more fantastic. Javier moved away rapidly and they walked after him. Roberto gave her a reproachful look. “You said you were not his girl,” he accused.

"Ah..." Ryan began nervously, his voice quivering. "Allow me to introduce you to Robert," he hurriedly approached Robert, who wore a worried expression, likely stemming from Rio's presence. "Who's that, Mr. Ryan?" Robert asked, his gaze shifting between Ryan and Rio. "Don't worry, Robert. He's my friend," Ryan chuckled, turning to Rio, who fixated his eyes on Robert without wavering.

Anthony pointed a lighter at the tip of the cigar hanging between my lips. My head nodded, granting him permission. He lit my cigar. Pulled out a pack from his pocket, taking out a stick. He shoved the stick between his lips. He lit it up before putting off the light of the cigar lighter. Anthony took a drag and puffed out the smoke. “You look very worried, Alpha.” “Drop the formalities. We are on the rooftop,” I smoked my cigar, letting the fog draw a line in the blank air. “Leo,” he scoffed in disbelief, scratching his forehead. “Can’t recall the last time I called you this. I don’t like the sound of it in my ears anymore.”

Whatever was going through her mind was cold and cruel. "Real soon," Connor added as he walked out of the house and joined his sister. I gave them one last wave and they walked away from our house to do what needed to be done while I turned my attention back to Luca and the new guy who was in our living room now. "Who were they?" Luca asked monotonously. "Just friends," I shrugged. "They were rogues. They shouldn't have been in the territory," Luca growled. He may have been my sister's Third in Command but that didn't give him the right to go all wolf on my ass. Especially not when he was stood with a rogue himself.
