CHAPTER 579
Jennifer had just finished arranging the flowers in the sitting room when the telephone rang. The sound cut through the quiet of the Kahuna residence, sharp and sudden. She glanced at the wall clock. 2:17 p.m. Steven was supposed to be in his study, buried beneath the mountain of documents he always claimed would swallow him alive if he didn't finish them. She had teased him about it that morning, and he had responded with one of those rare smiles that always made her forget whatever argument she had prepared. The telephone rang again. Jennifer wiped her hands on a small towel before walking toward it. She picked up the receiver. “Hello?” For several seconds, there was nothing. Only silence. Jennifer frowned. “Hello? Who is this?” A faint breath came through the line. Then a man's voice finally spoke. Low. Calm. Anonymous. “Mrs. Kahuna?” Her fingers tightened around the receiver. “Yes. Who's calling?” “You're Jennifer Kahuna, aren't you?” “Y
CHAPTER 578
But he intended to return into her arms. Across the property, Kelvin sat alone in his office. A glass of untouched liquor stood beside his hand. He hadn't touched it. His thoughts were too loud. For years, Kelvin had considered himself one of Don Marcelo's most loyal men. He had served him when others had disappeared. He had followed orders without asking questions. When Don Marcelo told him to stay, he stayed. When Don Marcelo told him to fight, he fought. When Don Marcelo trusted him with dangerous work, Kelvin never complained. That loyalty had become his identity. It was almost everything he knew. But lately, something had changed. Kelvin stared at the desk in front of him. Don Marcelo had chosen him to guard Andrew. At first, Kelvin had assumed it was because of his reputation. Then he began thinking about it differently. Don Marcelo knew Kelvin and Andrew had once been friends. He knew they had history. He knew Kelvin had once trusted An
CHAPTER 577
Andrew had been watching Kelvin for days. Not because Kelvin had mistreated him. If anything, that was what made everything harder. Kelvin had kept his distance, followed Don Marcelo's orders, and made sure Andrew was treated as a prisoner. But he had also spoken to him like an old friend whenever they were alone. Andrew knew Kelvin cared. And that was why, when Kelvin entered the room that evening, Andrew finally decided to ask. "Kelvin." Kelvin stopped. Andrew stood from where he had been sitting. "Let me go." Kelvin's expression immediately hardened. "No." "You haven't even heard me." "I know what you're going to say." "Then hear me anyway." Kelvin remained silent. Andrew stepped closer. "You know me. You know I wouldn't hurt you. You know I don't belong here." "I know." "Then let me walk out." Kelvin looked away. Andrew continued, his voice becoming more urgent. "You don't have to come with me. You don't have to fight Don Marcelo. Just unlock
CHAPTER 576
"That is quite an opening." "Harrera needs to stop meeting my daughter." Don Marcelo laughed again, louder this time. Thiago remained perfectly calm. "I'm serious." "So am I," Don Marcelo replied. "You're calling me after all these time, simply because my son is spending time with your daughter?" "He's not simply spending time with her." "What is he doing?" "Acting as though the history between our families doesn't exist. Meeting her. Walking around with her. Presenting himself as her friend." Don Marcelo leaned back in his chair on the other end. "And?" "And I want it to stop." There was a pause. Then Don Marcelo chuckled. "You've become very comfortable giving me instructions, Thiago." "I'm not giving you an instruction. I'm asking you to control your son." "Control him?" "Yes." Don Marcelo laughed again. "You still think Harrera is a child?" "No." "Then why should I tell him who he can spend his time with?" "Because he's your son." "T
CHAPTER 575
Kelvin waited until late into the night before beginning his investigation. He couldn't ask questions openly. Don Marcelo had placed Andrew in his custody for a reason, and Kelvin knew better than to make it obvious that he was digging into Andrew's disappearance. So he started quietly. One message. One name. Juliana Andreas. He simply asked someone he trusted to find out whether Juliana was safe and what had been happening around her since Andrew disappeared. The answer came hours later. 'She's safe, she is Thiago's daughter no one would dare harm her without consequences.' Kelvin stared at those two words for a moment. That was what mattered. He sent another message. And Andrew? The response didn't come. Kelvin waited. Five minutes. Ten. Nothing. He was about to put the phone away when it finally vibrated. Don't ask me about him again. Kelvin's expression hardened. That wasn't the response of someone who knew nothing. He typed: Why?
CHAPTER 574
Kelvin had barely returned to his office when his phone rang. He looked at the screen. Don Marcelo. "Sir." "You have the prisoner?" "Yes." "Good." Kelvin waited. Don Marcelo's voice remained calm, almost too calm. "Keep a strict eye on him. No unnecessary movement. No visitors. No one speaks to him unless you approve it." "Understood." There was a brief pause. Then Don Marcelo added, "You know what happens to the men transferred to your location." Kelvin's eyes narrowed slightly. "Yes." "They don't leave." Kelvin leaned back in his chair. "Understood." "I want this one kept alive for as long as I decide. But if he attempts to escape, you already know what to do." Kelvin's expression hardened. "Yes, sir." "Good." The call should have ended there. But Don Marcelo wasn't finished. "There's another reason I sent him to you." Kelvin remained silent. "You and Andrew were close once." Kelvin's fingers tightened around the phone. "That w
