Chapter 71
The Dark Secret of the CEO
Dan and Gerard walk into the latterâs office, take a seat, and stare into space for a minute. The one who breaks the silence is Dan, since Gerard has not told him anything about what happened with Bowmanâs son.
-And⦠um, what happened? -I beat him to a pulp â Gerard replies with an uncharacteristic calmness of him -.
not He stands up and pours two glasses of cold water, hands one to his friend, and sits back down. He stares at his hands, they donât have a single mark of what he did to the boy, he only had pain left.
â But⦠is he, you know, alive?
-Yes. I canât kill him, first he has to live through hell here on earth.
-Phew! Dan leans back in his chair and breathes. You scared me, like you said you were going to take revengeâ¦
-Dan, we both know that killing someone is not revenge. Now, letâs focus â (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Gerard takes the control position and with a gloomy look tells his friend -. The unhappy man not only drugged Luz to rape her, there are more victims. Start with the girls who worked at the agency, but donât rule out girls who have shared a party or school with himâ¦
-Perfect, Iâll talk to Alpha â Dan stands up, but stops and approaches with curiosity -. Did you see her? Did you meet Alpha in person?
-Yes. Pretty pretty little girl.
-Little girl? â he asks surprised and sits down again- , -He must not be more than twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but donât let his appearance deceive you. If he had to kill for what he wants⦠whatâs more, I think he already did it a few times.
Dan stares at the desk and smiles sadly, Gerard stands up and looks out the window.
-Youâre screwed, you fell in love with a voice, a lethal woman who knows exactly what she wants. She even asked me to have something-Gerard laughs and Dan stands up and walks out of the office-. Thanks for this, youâve given me a little breathing room until we put that case together.
-A pleasure, brother. I just hope it ends as soon as possible, so you can tell your girl the truth and be happyâ¦-he leaves the office and whispers to himself-. Unless one of the two is happy with the woman he loves.
He goes into his office for a while to order some , then returns to Gerard.
-Ready. Iâve already spoken to Alpha and sheâll be in charge of finding more information on the victims.
-Thank you â he stares at the bag where the mask is and puts it in his briefcase -. While it . she hit, she kept thinking that he could have really hurt Luz, that she could have done horrible things to him.
â Thatâs why I keep thinking that the best thing that could happen to Luz is that it was you. Iâm not saying itâs a fortune that you raped her, but at least youâre looking to redeem yourself from her and do her justice.
-I review in my head again and again that night⦠I could have stopped, I could have realized that she was not the girl I expected, that she did not speak, she was not in her five senses â she puts her head between her hands resting on the desk -. But as you say, at the end of all that horror, something good came out.
Dan stands up to pat his friend on the back, he knows heâs got it very bad, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)despite the breath of life that turned out to be Light.
-Donât worry, weâre going to find out everything and you can be happy with your wife⦠and your son. A frown until a few seconds ago is transformed into an expression of complete surprise behind the slightly open door.
He walks to his office and locks himself in it, unable to believe what he has heard from the lips of men. he pulls out a hidden picture of Gerard and smirks.
-So you raped the starving woman and the bastard waiting is yours â takes a deep breath and smiles again -. Iâm going to look for the best moment so that the mustia knows the truth.
âBut thatâs not enough for me⦠that son is a hindrance, all children are. I couldnât take care of Charlize, but this one I definitely have to liquidate. No more hindrances that separate me from you.
He stands up and walks around the office, Gerardâs picture in his hands, caressing it as if it were the real thing.
-This time with patience and definitely not up the stairs. Although most likely when she finds out the truth, she wonât want to see Gerard anymore and thatâs my chance to finish her off. Or she could leave them alive, if she refused to let Gerard see that freak-she walks to the window and looks at the city-a few minutes, until she sighs and returns to her desk, she puts the picture away and laughs like crazy which is â âOf course not⦠they die because they die.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) So, while Luz is walking through the garden holding Charlizeâs hand, laughing and thinking about what they will do for her birthday, Gerard plans the best way and the right time to tell Luz the truth⦠Darcy plans the way that the girl finds out the truth in the worst possible way, at the moment of greatest happiness and after that, when she is vulnerable, get rid of her and her son.
