Chapter 15
Chapter 15Alejandro spent his first few nights on the run in a series of anonymous, low-budget motels scattered across the outskirts of the city. The rooms were small and dimly lit, reeking of stale cigarettes and moldy carpets. Sleep eluded him, as anxiety and fear consumed his thoughts. Every time a car pulled into the parking lot or a door slammed nearby, he tensed, expecting the authorities to burst in.He kept the television volume low, scanning every news report and headline, hoping for a glimmer of truth to emerge. But the media had painted a damning picture of him. "Trusted Executive Turns Criminal Mastermind," one headline read. "Millions Missing: Alejandro Garcia at the Center of Scandal," blared another. Reporters rehashed the same narrative: he had orchestrated a sophisticated embezzlement scheme, betrayed the company, and vanished without a trace. His photo was everywhere—on television, online, plastered across newspapers. The man who had once commanded respect was now a

Chapter 14Alejandro raced through the dusky streets, every step echoing the panic drumming in his chest. His breath came in ragged bursts as he darted through alleyways and side roads, taking routes he hadn’t driven in years. The sun was just beginning to sink below the rooftops, casting a golden haze across the city, but Alejandro barely noticed. All he could think about was getting home—home to his mother, to the only person who had ever stood by him without question.When he reached the familiar gate of their modest house, he paused, trying to steady his breathing. He wiped the sweat from his brow, straightened his shirt, and forced his face into a mask of calm. Whatever storm was closing in on him, his mother Felicia didn't deserve to feel even a gust of it. Not yet.Inside, the smell of garlic and onions greeted him like a warm hug. His mother, Felecia, stood at the kitchen counter chopping vegetables, humming softly to herself. The sight almost broke him.“Dinner will be ready

Chapter 13"Who is she? Why are you stopping her from coming out?” His father's face turned pale again and droplets of sweat dripped from his forehead. "She’s my client, son. And I don’t know her personally because we just met just today. Why?” Alejandro smirked and couldn't even hide how disgusted he was while looking at his father. "Are you sure you only just knew each other today? So why are you driving her? Is this her car?” He asked one after another. His father turned paler and seemed to struggle to answer him. “Y-you know what son. I am really in a hurry. Can we just talk some other time? We’re gonna be late in our meeting,” his father said, almost stuttering."Is my question really that difficult for you to answer right at this moment? Why can't you answer me right away? Dad?” His father shaked his head, trying to deny it again."N-not like that son. It's just so private. Can people talk on another day? I promise I will meet you and explain everything.” He cocked his head.

Chapter 12"I won't force you. We can survive without him. I'm here mom. I'll take care of you," he said. Felecia only cried and when his mother stopped crying, he waited for her to calm down a bit. After that, he begged his mother to join him for dinner. Felecia granted her son's request without objection. After they finished eating, his mother promptly locked herself in her room. He wanted to talk to his mother but he didn't have the courage to approach her. He just let her rest. Alejandro then sighed and went into his room, next to his mom. He swiftly shifted his body weight onto his comfy bed. His entire body quickly calmed down. But this was short-lived since his mind instantly remembered what his father had done. He wants to investigate. He wants to see and determine whether what his mother is saying is true. He wants to ask his father why he left his mother. Even though it hurts to know the truth, he still wants to hear the real reason. He strained for breath. He had a sudden

Chapter 11ALEJANDRO returned home and found his Mommy Felecia preparing their dinner. The aroma of the food quickly went to his nostrils and it made him calm a bit. "Hey, mom? What are you cooking this time?" he asked, making his voice a little lovely despite what happened to him. Felecia turned her head and glanced at him with a sweet smile. "Of course! What else should I cook? It's your favorite." "Oh, a chicken casserole," he confirmed. "Yes. Come on. Sit down. This will be ready in a minute," Felecia said, smiling at him. Alejandro just nodded and pulled a chair to sit down. While waiting, he rubbed both his palms at each other. He suddenly feels so cold. Felecia then suddenly noticed his discomfort. "Are you okay, son?" Felecia asked in a worried tone. Alejandro tilted his head, looking at his mother who still looked beautiful even if her gray hair almost covered her black hair. "Hmm? I'm okay mom. Just a little bit tired," he said with a raw smile. Felecia gave him food

Chapter 10ALEJANDRO is now in front of the desktop to attend to his applications. He sends his application to every company he has known and unfortunately he hasn't received any news from them. He clenched his fists. He now thinks that he might be blacklisted by the companies he tried to apply to and he knows for sure who did it. It was Helena or maybe Diego. He let out a heavy sigh and smeared his face using his hands. He stood up and left his room. He caught up with his Mommy Felecia who had a sad face and was obviously troubled. She was also holding envelopes and he guessed they were their house bills. He approached his mother and sat next to her. Felecia suddenly panicked and grabbed all the envelopes. She hid it under the kitchen towel. "Mom, what are those?" Alejandro asked. His mother, Felecia, smiled sparingly. "This is nothing son. Just nevermind it," Felecia immediately denied it to him. Alejandro shook his head. He pulled the kitchen towel and grabbed the envelopes. A
