56. Clearing the storm
After three hours of dinner and after-meal, Lucas finally closes the house door when my father leaves. He looks at me "we didn't do too bad," he comments, making me laugh."Not at all, you've made wedding plans and everything," I complain, crossing my arms as I lean my back against the pillar behind me.Lucas walks towards me as if I were his prey and smiles "and that bothers you?" he asks humorously.I immediately deny, "no, but I thought my father would never forgive you for what happened. The day I tried to kill me," I explain when his arms surround my waist and bring me close to him."Your father and I have talked a lot about that after I returned here to Miami." I couldn't tell him all the details, but if I confessed that I was wrong about you and was entirely sorry for it. When I allowed myself to get to know him better, I realized how much you mean to him and how much he cares that you are happy. He also got to know me better. Somehow, I have made him understand that you have b
57. Part of the Mystery
Next dayI have spent the day working on the report that will be delivered to each board member. As I prepare them, I write down the names in the notes on my cell phone:-Leonardo Sanabria-Marta Indigo-Saul Villanueva-Salomé Ventura-Diego ZambranoRaúl's three children are also part of the board of directors, but I already know their names. I need now to investigate the other names and their relationship to Raúl and his illicit business dealings. Suddenly, a knock on the door startles me, and I put the cell phone in my bag quickly, "Come in," I exclaim."Good afternoon," says Alejandro once he opens my office door. "Have you finished your day?" he asks, leaning against the door frame and crossing his arms as he looks at me closely."Yes, I'm almost done," I explain and continue with my task without looking at him. "I thought you haven't come today, I didn't see you," I comment, trying to obtain information."Please, call me by my name, Alejandro," he proposes entering my office. H
58. Unexpected Facts
Moments later, we arrive at the Valet Parking area of this restaurant I know so well. While Alejandro helps me get out of the luxurious car, my legs and hands shake due to the nerves I feel. I pray that Matías, the manager of this place, is not here today or at least not call me by my father's last name. My whole plan will fall, and I will be completely exposed to Alejandro if he does."I hope you like the place," Alejandro tells me when I finish getting out of the car, and lets go of my hand.I smile at him pretending to be kind. «If only he knew it is one of my favorite places.»"It looks great," I finally answer.We walked towards the entrance of this modern restaurant. Next, we see the facade worked entirely with black concrete materials and wooden details. Arriving at the door, a young man with reddish hair opens it for us. The interior of the place is stunning. The floor is rustic concrete in its original tone but with a particular shine due to its treatment. The tables are bea
59. Sea of Doubts
Listening to them talk about life as if they were friends from many years ago has me confused, Has Lucas been cheating on me all this time? I question myself, What if his supposed repentance is just another hoax? What if he is using me again? I can't take it anymore. I feel like my head will explode with so many doubts that I have right now."Excuse me, I have to take this call," Alejandro tells us when his cell phone rings."It's OK," I say and take my glass from the table to sip wine. "What the fuck is all this, Lucas?" I ask, full of anger, when I notice that Alejandro has gone far enough.He stares at me and leans towards me "is that son of a bitch Raul Sandoval's son?" He asks me between his teeth, and I look at her, confused."But you know him... Don't pretend you don't," I refute, and I can't believe he's pretending to play this game."Of course, I know him, but like Alejandro Ferrara, a successful yacht salesman who met my sister at an industry party. They were dating for almo
60. Undiscovered Mysteries
I don't know very well if minutes or hours have passed; I see them approach the table once more. Alejandro's gaze is lost. I notice he is overwhelmed and also sad?"Sienna, I'm sorry," he says, "I hope you don't mind if Lucas takes you home, I'm not feeling well." He apologizes and leaves a two-hundred-dollar bill on the table."Don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow at the office," I say, but he doesn't answer; he nods and walks away.I watch him enter the restaurant and leave. When I see him far, I look at Lucas, who is now sitting in front of me. "What happened?" I ask, totally confused.I feel Lucas is just as confused as I am. He runs his fingers through his jet-black hair and tries to find the right words "it happens that Alejandro has learned that his son died with my sister in that accident. He's devastated and full of questions just like me, but I can't tell him that the prime suspect is his father; he would discover me," he explains to me calmly."What if that son wasn't his? H
61. New Proposals
We began to kiss just as if it were the first time, just crossing our house entrance threshold. His arms tied to my waist do not allow me to move away from him, and to be honest, I have no intention of doing so.My lips only respond to his. Slowly our tongues meet, causing our bodies to turn on even more. Lucas, somehow, is guiding me to the stairs and causing our kisses to be a little less coordinated. As we went up to the room, I urgently unbuttoned his shirt.My feet feel the ground's firmness, signaling that we have already reached our destination. Without further ado, I intrude my hands at his shoulder height to remove his shirt and drop it. Lucas's hands are not far behind. As we get closer to the room, he unzips my dress, and I feel like burning just the feeling of his touch.Before entering the room, most of our clothes have already disappeared. When our legs hit the bed, we lie down without stopping kissing. I'm so turned on that I can't stop panting during our kissing battl
62. Do him a favor
Next dayI'm playing this game one more day that I'm already tired of. However, today is different, as I have a different perspective on things and many more suspicions. Thus, I enter Raúl Sandoval's office, whose door is open, and in a friendly tone of voice, I greet him, "Good morning, Mr. Sandoval."He smiles at me and observes me closely, making me feel uncomfortable enough. My beige dress is not very revealing, but it accentuates my curves in a pretty elegant way. "Good Morning, Sienna," He tells me, "Take a seat. I'll explain today's tasks," He asks me, and I play to be the perfect assistant by giving my best performance.After about 20 minutes, I finally left his office with a list of tasks to do today. I think I should be very determined to find the truth about this guy; otherwise, I would not endure the way he looks at me or what he wants me to do. I will never underestimate the work of an assistant, but I am far more than this. I could be working comfortably in my father's
63. Alejandro's Identity
"Sienna, I'll go to lunch; I'll see you in an hour," Raúl informs me, peering into my office."Perfect, I'll see you later." I answer and watch him leave.I've spent much of the morning thinking about the moment he left his office since I need to go in and start digging through his things to find clues.So, I wait about ten minutes, get up from my chair, go to the door, and open it slowly. Noticing that there is no one inside, I immediately start going through the drawers of his desk and filing cabinets one by one.I'd love to know exactly what I'm looking for because I have no idea. I guess the only thing I need is some document that implicates Raúl in his money laundering crimes, trafficking in precious stones, and drug trafficking. Or at least something related to Lucas's sister. Finally, searching through the folders, I open one that catches my eye.TriStar Enterprises? I keep reading the terms and services until I realize it's a transportation company $500,000 dollars?"Why woul
