CHAPTER 511
The afternoon sun hung lazily over Mexico City, its warmth spilling across the quiet public park Andrew had grown fond of over the past few weeks. Unlike the hotel room that often reminded him of everything he had lost, the park offered something different. Normality whereby children chased pigeons across the stone walkways. An elderly couple played chess beneath a jacaranda tree. Street musicians filled the air with soft melodies that blended naturally with the rustling leaves. Andrew sat on his usual bench beneath the large oak tree, his laptop balanced on his knees. His headphones rested loosely around his neck as he finished responding to a client's email. The remote job had become more than just an income. It had become proof... proof that he could build an honest life. Proof that he wasn't the man Don Marcelo had once controlled. He saved his work and stretched his shoulders about to take a breath... When all of a sudden, just then a shadow fell across hi
CHAPTER 512
The walk back to the hotel felt longer than usual. The sounds of the city faded into the background as Andrew crossed busy intersections without truly noticing them. Harrera's words replayed in his mind with unsettling clarity. "Go back to the UK." "Leave Juliana." "Don't make me come to your hotel room." Andrew slipped both hands into his pockets and continued walking. He wasn't frightened. Not in the way Harrera had probably intended. He had lived through worse threats. He had worked for Don Marcelo long enough to recognize the difference between empty intimidation and genuine warning. Harrera hadn't come to the park looking for a fight. He had come hoping Andrew would walk away on his own. Andrew respected that. He simply couldn't do it. By the time he reached the hotel, the sun had already disappeared beneath the horizon. He stepped into the elevator, loosened the collar of his shirt and rubbed the back of his neck. The doors slid open on his floo
CHAPTER 513
Three days passed without incident. At least, that was how it appeared on the surface. Andrew buried himself in work, determined to keep building the life he had promised Juliana he would create. Raphael quietly increased the security around his sister without telling her, while Emiliano instructed his own men to keep an eye on the city for any unusual movement from the Marcelo family. As for Harrera... He simply disappeared, no word from him and also no blocked roads. No unexpected encounters. It was as though he had simply accepted Juliana's answer and moved on. Even Juliana found herself thinking about it. "Maybe he really meant what he said..." she thought one morning as she walked through the estate gardens. "Maybe he only wanted closure." She couldn't have been more mistaken. Late that Saturday afternoon, Juliana decided she wanted a little freedom. Not another visit to Andrew. Not today. Instead, she convinced Raphael to let her spend an hour at a sm
CHAPTER 514
Raphael drove in silence. The engine hummed steadily as the black SUV merged into the evening traffic, but inside the vehicle, the atmosphere was anything but calm. Juliana sat in the passenger seat, her hands folded neatly on her lap, stealing occasional glances at her elder brother. She knew that look. Raphael Andreas rarely spoke when he was upset or when something was disrupting his thoughts. Rather than for into quick and hasty confrontations, he simply thought first, observed first and when he finally spoke, every word carried weight. The silence stretched for several minutes before he finally broke it. "So..." his eyes remained on the road, "...how long were you talking to him for?" Juliana knew exactly who he meant. "About ten minutes." Raphael nodded once. "And it was truly an accident and that you didn't plan to meet?" "I believe so." "You believe?" She turned toward him. "I didn't arrange to meet him, Rafa." "*sigh* I know." "He said he co
CHAPTER 515
The hotel room was unusually quiet. Andrew sat at the small desk beside the window, the soft glow from his laptop illuminating his face as he reviewed another client's project. Two weeks had passed since his conversation with Harrera in the park. Two weeks and despite the warning... nothing had changed, he still worked every day. He still spoke with Juliana every evening. He still dreamed of the future they had promised each other. Outside, Mexico City buzzed with its usual life, completely unaware that another storm was quietly approaching. Andrew rubbed his tired eyes before saving his work. His phone vibrated. A message from Juliana. Lunch tomorrow? I'll bring your favourite again. A smile crept onto his face. Only if you promise not to spend three hours cooking. Her reply came almost immediately. No promises. He laughed under his breath. Just then... A knock echoed from the door. Andrew glanced at the clock. He wasn't expecting anyone. Perh
CHAPTER 516
Juliana remained seated on the edge of the bed long after the hotel staff quietly excused themselves. The room had fallen completely silent. Too silent. She stared at the letter in her trembling hands, reading it over and over until every word seemed to lose its meaning. I am sorry that I have to leave without saying goodbye... "No..." Her voice was barely audible. "This isn't right." She looked around the room once more. Everything felt... interrupted. Not abandoned. Interrupted. Andrew had never been careless. During the weeks he had spent in Mexico, she had come to know his little habits. Every morning he neatly folded his blanket before leaving the room. Every evening he plugged in both his laptop and his phone before going to sleep. He even arranged his notebooks in the same order on the desk. He liked order, he liked finishing what he started. So why... why would a man like that suddenly disappear? Her gaze slowly drifted toward the bedside tab
CHAPTER 517
He had learned long ago not to dismiss instincts without reason. Especially when they came from someone who knew the person involved. He rested a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "We won't jump to conclusions." "But..." his gaze hardened almost imperceptibly, "...we also won't ignore the questions." Juliana nodded slowly. For the first time since finding the letter... she then realized that grief wasn't the only emotion growing inside her. So was doubt, and sometimes... doubt was the beginning of the truth. ****** Darkness, well that was the first thing Andrew became aware of after being dragged from the hotel. Not the complete absence of light, but the kind that swallowed the edges of a room until everything blurred into endless shadows. A dull ache pulsed behind his eyes. His mouth felt dry. His shoulders protested as he shifted slightly against the cold metal chair beneath him. He opened his eyes slowly. The room was unfamiliar. Concrete walls. A s
CHAPTER 518
The news spread through the Andreas estate faster than anyone had anticipated. Servants whispered quietly in the hallways. Security personnel exchanged uneasy glances. Even the household staff, who rarely involved themselves in family affairs, sensed that something had changed. The atmosphere felt... heavier. Juliana had locked herself inside her room shortly after returning from the hotel. No one disturbed her, no one dared. Raphael had ordered everyone to give her space. But there was one person in the estate who had never been known for patience. Emiliano Andreas. The heavy doors to Raphael's study burst open without warning. Raphael barely had time to look up from the documents spread across his desk before Emiliano stormed inside. His face was thunderous. His fists were clenched so tightly that the veins in his forearms stood out beneath his skin. Raphael sighed quietly. "You've heard." "Heard?" Emiliano laughed bitterly. "The entire house ha
CHAPTER 519
Night settled over the Andreas estate like a heavy blanket. The grand mansion, usually alive with conversation and movement, seemed unnaturally subdued. Even the guards at the front gate spoke in hushed voices, sensing the tension that had settled over the household. Inside her bedroom, Juliana sat curled up in the armchair by the window, Andrew's phone resting in her lap. She had not eaten dinner. She had barely spoken since returning from the hotel. Her thumb absentmindedly brushed across the dark screen. She wasn't waiting for it to ring. She knew it couldn't. She was waiting for it to somehow explain itself. A soft knock came at the door. "Juli?" It was Raphael. She didn't answer. After a few moments, he quietly opened the door just enough to look inside. His heart ached. His little sister looked like someone who had lost not only the person she loved, but also the certainty she once had about the world. Raphael walked in carrying a tray. "I b
CHAPTER 520
Morning arrived over Mexico City wrapped in golden sunlight, but inside the Andreas estate, it did little to lift the heaviness that lingered over every hallway. It had been three days since Juliana found Andrew's empty hotel room and the letter that was supposed to explain everything. Three days, yet not a single hour had eased the uneasy feeling in her heart. She hadn't accepted it. She couldn't. Most people mourned what they had lost. Juliana questioned what she had been told. She sat cross-legged on the floor of her bedroom, Andrew's phone beside her and the letter spread out before her for what had to be the fiftieth time. Every sentence was familiar now. Every word had become engraved in her memory. "I am sorry that I have to leave without saying goodbye..." She traced the ink with her fingertips before slowly shaking her head. "No..." Her voice was barely a whisper. "You wouldn't." She closed her eyes and remembered the countless conversations they had s
