Lisa didn’t move, but her eyes did. They kept shifting, restless and uneasy as she looked from Manuel to the man and back again.Something wasn’t right.This wasn’t how it was supposed to go, and she could feel control slipping from her hands little by little. It irritated her more than she wanted to admit.Across from her, the man stood calmly, his posture relaxed as though none of this concerned him. His attention remained on Manuel, steady

THE MISSING PIECE Immediately, Laura exchanged glances with Manuel and shifted back a bit, tapping her hands slowly on the table.Manuel looked at the man again, then his attention shifted back to the document on the table.He picked it up again, flipping through the pages, more slowly this time. His eyes moved carefully across the document, scanning each line. At first, nothing seemed out of place, then he paused.Something felt wrong.His brows pulled together slightly as his fingers stopped turning the page. He went back, checking again.Suddenly, he saw that a few pages were missing. Not just one or two random sheets, but important ones, sections that should have connected everything. The key information was gone, removed so cleanly it almost looked intentional, like those pages had never existed at all and it looked as though they wanted to fool him.Manuel’s jaw tightened and slowly, he lifted

THE RIGHT ONELisa didn’t move, but her eyes did. They kept shifting, restless and uneasy as she looked from Manuel to the man and back again.Something wasn’t right. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go, and she could feel control slipping from her hands little by little. It irritated her more than she wanted to admit.Across from her, the man stood calmly, his posture relaxed as though none of this concerned him. His attention remained on Manuel, steady and patient, like he already knew how this would end and was simply waiting for him to realize it too.Then came the sound of footsteps behind as though someone was rushing towards them.Manuel turned slightly, his gaze shifting toward the entrance and then he saw Laura, walking straight toward them, her eyes a bit furious.His brows drew together faintly in surprise. He wasn't expecting her to show up. He remembered clearly telling her to stay back, to keep

A STRANGE MANThe man stood, wearing a bold smile, his hand stretched out a bit.Manuel looked at him and scoffed, the document still in his hand, his eyes fixed on the man. He wanted to understand what kind of person walks up like this and talks like that.Across the table, Lisa sat quietly and didn’t interrupt and for a moment, it looked as though everything was going according to her plan.Manuel’s grip on the document tightened slightly, but his face didn’t show it. He stayed standing.“Who sent you?” Manuel asked, his voice low.The man didn’t answer immediately, he didn’t look offended, he just adjusted his suit slightly, like he had all the time in the world, then he looked at Manuel and then smiled.“I expected that question,” he said, his voice smooth.Manuel didn’t respond, but his eyes didn’t leave him.The man took a step closer and stopped.“I’m not here to waste your time,” he continue

WHO'S THAT MAN?Manuel’s expression didn’t change, he raised his head. “I’m not here to eat.”Lisa sighed lightly and shook her head just a little. “Stop being hard,” she said.Then she turned slightly and raised her hand.The waiter came almost immediately. Lisa didn’t even look at Manuel, she already knew what she wanted.“We’ll take the grilled chicken,” she said calmly. “And the steak. Medium with sides.”She paused briefly, then added. “And two glasses. Red.”The waiter nodded and wrote it down, then he left.Lisa sat back down like everything was normal and like they weren’t sitting across each other after everything that happened.Manuel finally sat, but he wasn't relaxed one bit, he kept looking at her.Lisa leaned back slightly, folded her hands and just looked at him. There was something different about her, she was looking calmer than usual and Manuel saw this.The food arri

TAMING THE MAFIALaura's chest tightened again, but this time she knew he was up to something as well and truly, he was going to play her game.She stared straight at him, her eyes steady. “Then I’m coming with you.”THE STONE'S APARTMENTBack at home, Lisa wasn't calm, the moment she stepped into the house, something in her shifted.Everything around her felt the same, but inside her, she didn't feel the same.She didn’t stop to greet anyone and didn’t look toward the sitting room, she walked straight to the stairs.Her heels struck each step with echoing sounds as she climbed. Her face was tight and her jaw clenched.By the time she reached her door, her fingers were already on the handle, she pushed it open, stepped in and immediately shut it behind her.Then, she locked it as the click sounded louder than it should have. For a moment, she just stood there, her back pressed lightly against the door and her eyes closed, like she was trying to hold herself together.Everything she ha

THE SUSPICION Laura had been watching him the entire time and she'd also been studying Lisa closely, trying to read everything in her expression.She stepped forward again, her voice sharp. “Enough. Leave.”Lisa didn’t move, not even a step. Her eyes stayed on Manuel, like Laura hadn’t even spoken.“I’m serious,” Lisa said, folding her arms over her chest, looking straight into Manuel's eyes.Manuel’s jaw tightened slightly as the room felt tighter and a bit hot even with the air conditioner.Laura’s eyes narrowed and she stepped closer, positioning herself slightly in front of Manuel.“You heard me,” she said again. “Leave.”Lisa still didn’t look at her, she kept her focus on Manuel. “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t important,” she added.Manuel’s fingers curled slightly at his side, then slowly he stood up and the moment he did, the room changed.The air itself felt heavier, as though something had just shifted into place.Laura noticed it and even Lisa noticed it too.Manuel step
