The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 91

Far away, in a gloomy apartment in the center of the city, a woman watches the news, full of fury because hers Gerard of hers has been accused…

-I’m sure it was that pig, damn opportunist, but you’ll see – he takes a photograph of Luz, focused from afar, holding Rafael’s hand -. While my poor cousin was dying for you, you were out for a walk with your lover. I’m sure that son isn’t even Gerard’s…

She takes a letter opener and stabs the photograph with it. She then throws it in the trash can and burns it.

-I have to get rid of you, but now I’m alone. Not even my aunt wants to see me, all because of you, because she saw your stupid girl face… Stupid!

She drops everything she has on her desk and then drops to her knees on the floor, crying with her face in her hands.

-She ran me away… because of you, because you had to come and dig up all my past.

Three days after Luz left her, Dan called her at her office and told her that she had to leave her. Her dismissal letter was signed by Gerard himself. When she asked his motives, Dan only told her that Gerard already knew the truth about Miguel Méndez.

«-You are the meanest woman I have ever met, I don’t know how I could fall in love with you once.

-And I don’t know how I had the stomach to wallow with you.

-Even if you deny it, I will always be the best you had in life, but fortunately, you will not be 1 or better in mine.”

She brings out that baby image of her and she cries for the first time for him. Maybe she could be happy, she could let herself be loved by Dan and start a family, but she is not one of those who conforms.

Darcy Pines is the one she searches and searches for, until she reaches her destination.

She stands up, takes her phone and dials a number, one that she knows very well, other times she has been in charge of helping her to carry out a tragic accident, to benefit a client, therefore, her.

“Darcy,” as always, the man’s deep voice sends shivers down her spine, but she holds it in.

-Gamma… I need you to take care of someone.

-Dead, dying, scared…-she asks him as if it were an order at McDonald’s-

-Dead – plain and simple –

-That will cost you twice as much as last time, because now the boss is on everyone, there is a rat among us.

-I don’t care that Alpha has rats among her people – she tells him with annoyance, while she walks to the kitchen to prepare a sandwich-, I want that woman dead.

-Send the photograph of her and everything you know about her, I’ll take care of the rest of her.

“Perfect, as for the payment,” she says as she places the mayonnaise on the bar. Half on time and the other when you finish the job.

– Time.

“A week, preferably an accident.” She spreads a little dressing on the slice of bread and smiles sinister. I do not want more suspicions to chance.

The man hangs up and Darcy lays down a few slices of freshly cut chicken breast, lays down the other slice of bread, and bites into the sandwich with a mixture of anger and excitement. She goes to the balcony, to watch the day go by, and tomorrow she will look for work.

No one could deny her a job, she is the most lethal woman in the courts, although she earned that reputation of playing dirty in many cases… but the others don’t know that.

Meanwhile, at the Finnick mansion, Gerard makes calls and sends emails from his office, trying to pull the strings so that they will allow him to do the last thing he has left to do to save Rafael.

-I understand perfectly, Mr. Goodman, but keeping my client locked up without sufficient evidence is an outrage to her rights-Luz looks at him, biting one of her fingers and moving her knee-. I know, I know, but we’re talking about a man with a respectable company… what if I talked to Rickon Bowman again?

Again? “When did you talk to Rickon?”

Gerard sees Luz’s questioning face and knows that she hasn’t gotten to that part, he just knows that they made her confess and that was it. But now it’s time for her to tell you how she got it.

He ends the call with the prosecutor, who is aware of how Gerard obtained the information and will assess the possibility of even a little intimidating Rickon.

-Before you ask me, I made Rickon speak- he tells her taking her hands and looking into her eyes- Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

I know that, you told me.

-I told you that I got him to open his mouth, but not the middle – look at the ground, because he is not proud of the way he behaved that day, but at least it had good results – I hit him until he confessed that he drugged you with the intend to rape you later.

– Gerald! – Luz says in a whisper drowned by surprise and admiration — Did you get your hands dirty for me?

I told you that I would do anything for you. With Dan we already knew that he was Bowman’s son and that he was participating in the distribution, but after you told me that Rickon gave you a soda and then did all that … I sent for him.

-Are you like one of those gangster lawyers? – she asks him, not wanting to know the answer -.

Of course not. But in this job, when you want to seek true justice, sometimes you have to use certain tricks that can’t be put on the table.

“I hope you never have to do something like that again,” she tells him, caressing her face regretfully. Her man had to become a beast, to achieve that justice for her.

-Are you kidding?! You’re going to be a lawyer, you’re going to destroy the forced sex trade in the city… if I have to learn to fight, become a damn secret agent with lethal skills, I will.

He kisses her intensely, leaving her breathless in less than a minute, separating from her, she looks at him with all the admiration she deserves.

-You are amazing. Now, about Rafael, is there nothing that can be done?

-They are watching all 50
