Louisa's p.o.v;After a week, Ace dropped me in front of my house and said, "All the best."I smiled at him and said, "Yeah." Then I started walking to my door. While I was getting things ready for tomorrow, I heard knocks on the door. 'Didn't he leave already?' I thought as I opened the door. I saw Raphael standing in front of me. When did he come? Did he see Ace dropping me and leaving? But before I could ask what he was doing there, he walked in while asking, "I thought you'd come tomorrow." He still thinks that I went to see my parents. Let it go with the flow then."How did you know I returned anyway?""I was driving past your street and saw you getting out of the car so I drove here?"So, he only saw me. I let out a sigh of relief."Oh right!" He exclaimed. "The thing is, I was here to ask how things went with your parents." Well, if he wants to know how things went so bad then I'll tell him…"They're good! We had breakfast, lunch and dinner together.""Eating is all you did f
Louisa's p.o.v;I came to investigate a missing person named Levi Ackerman. He is from this town, but doesn’t live there as he does in the city and was last spotted here near where his house should be. The police had found him two days ago when a neighbour reported seeing him on a road at night. We were alerted about his disappearance due to the fact that the victim' father has been having an affair with one of the women. It was discovered that she had been murdered shortly after by a man. When i did an investigation about the woman, i came to know that she's the woman i saw yesterday being dead and got stabbed a number of times. I didn't have enough time to investigate further because I just had another case. But the more information I gathered, the more convinced I became that something strange is going on here. It seems like people are disappearing all around us. I got a call from Raphael that there's a murder in 4th square. When I got there, the crime scene investigators didn'
Louisa's p.o.v;The chief came and saw the messy police station and got mad at us for being careless with our work and asked us to call the cops who are in the fields investigating the case and the ones on patrol. Raphael and Elisa went to make calls to the cops who weren't in the police station while Eduardo and I got lectures from him. After a lecture, The chief said to Eduardo, "Call someone to clean up this mess."After Eduardo left, he turned towards me and said, "I heard about the casino issue. Don't make another mistake or it'll be the reason for your suspension.""I'm sorry for my actions, Sir. it won't happen again."After some time, everyone came back except for one person, Gabriel since he was out of town to meet his parents. The chief also took away everyone's cell phone and asked us to clean the messy police station along with the janitors who came to clean it and left the police station.While we're cleaning it, Raphael said, "I checked the surveillance camera, there
I was standing in front of the door, breathing heavily, my chest rising and falling.I thought, 'He's not the person they described. He would never do this to me. He likes me. No, he loves me. They said he cheated on me with another girl. I came here not because I believed them, but because I want to show everyone that they're incorrect about my boyfriend. They specified this hotel's name and this room number, which I'm standing in front of, and that they observed him enter with a girl and enquired briefly about the room number before sending me a message. Even if they are my pals, the things they say about my guy are out of control. I must quit tonight as their friend after opening the door in front of me and proving them wrong.' I made up my mind and exhaled quickly. I grabbed the doorknob and yanked it open with all my might."...""I-It's not what you think, I-I can explain..." My boyfriend stuttered to me while nakedly lying on a bed with a girl.Tears began to fall down my chee
I opened the door to my flat, but it was still dark inside. My roommate seemed to be still partying with the girls out there or was he sleeping Inside? I turned on the lights and entered the apartment.I live with a man named Bernardo. I call him Bernie, and we both attend the same university but attend different faculties. I'm in the Philosophy, Science, and Literature Faculty, and he's in the Law Faculty. The university dorm didn't suit me, so I looked for apartments outside of campus and finally found one after a long search, but the rent was a little pricey for the money I earned from my part-time work. I thought splitting the rent could help, so I posted a notice in my faculty's bulletin board about the apartment I'm offering and asked them to split the rent with me, along with my phone number so they could contact me. I didn't get a call for an entire week.I got a random message saying that someone else is looking for a room and is ready to move in. I replied 'okay' without eve
I asked Bernie once more, "My coat had a stone in it. Did you happen to catch a glimpse of it?""Stone?" said Bernie.A man entered and showed him a photograph. Bernie nodded after seeing that picture, which I believe is of the stone. Yes, I leaned in and saw the picture. It's a drawing of the stone. In the photograph, it appeared to be a vivid cherry red stone shining."Where is it?" they inquired of Bernie."It's a forgery of Ruby. Are you here for the phoney one?"They gripped the back of his neck and said, "We're not talking about a forgery here. It is one million reais in value. What happened to it?""One million what?" I was taken aback."You slipped a million-dollar stone into my coat?" I asked Ace.Ace ignored me and proceeded to question Bernie "What happened to the stone? What is its current location?"Ace hit him again after he said something."What's the point of beating him? If he had known, he would have said it already. I had no idea until you mentioned it to me. What i
Louisa's p.o.v;I was looking at the guys in the front seat of the car as we were driving to the club. I made a count of the men in the car. The first is the driver. Two, Edgar, who claimed to be an associate. Following them were two men we'll name them bodyguard 1 and bodyguard 2. Behind them are me and Bernie, with two guys on either side of us. Diego on Bernie's side, Ace alongside me, and a guy in the back behind us who will be bodyguard 3. They numbered seven, including the driver. It signifies that the escape rate is less than 10%. I don't think Bernie and I can compete with the seven of them. And I'm not sure if the driver was recruited or a member of the mafia as well."Are you intending to bring us down?" Ace asked quietly.I whispered under the tape covering my mouth as I glanced at him. He signalled that he couldn't hear me and returned to looking out the window. How could you hear me? You taped my mouth! I turned to face Bernie... What the hell is happening? Is he dozing
Louisa's p.o.v;"Why are we here again?" I asked Edgar with whom Ace and others left me while Bernie was looked after by Diego. Diego ordered Edgar, "Tape her mouth." and he left the car to take a puff. When I looked at Bernie, he dozed off already.When Edgar tried to tape my mouth, I said, "Please don't. I couldn't breathe properly under it. I promise I won't yell for help. Don't tape my mouth, please."He nodded and kept back the tape inside and said, "You looked fierce before but you're pleading to me now. Is there any intention behind this act?"I smiled and said, "I don't think I can get away from here just by playing as a fool. You guys are retards already.""Your face and your words don't match at all.""Why is that?"He took a look outside and said to me, "Because you look beautiful even after getting hit by those guys on your face.""You are different from them. What's the reason for joining this gang?""What?""Yeah, I have read that people who work under these gangs will
