A dangerous love

CHAPTER 2

- “Eve, wait for me,” a familiar voice shouts behind me

I turn around and I find myself face to face with Kyra, my best friend and that since primary school. I look at her stunned, what was she doing here, she did not know all the outcomes of my relationship between me and Damon, for her I simply moved in with my boyfriend.

I turn back, take her in my arms and look at her from head to toe, she is magnificent, to be honest Kyra has always been magnificent, when we were younger I envied her so much. Her long blonde hair, her tall figure, her goddess body she had absolutely everything for her. She was dressed in a magnificent red dress all in glitter, and black pumps, accessorized with a simple golden bracelet on her wrist.

- “What are you doing here,” I asked her while we moved away from the crowd that had just arrived

-“I could ask you the same question, aren’t you with Damon, he never lets you go usually,” she asked

- “No not today, I am not really here for the party, I just had to see an old acquaintance of ours and he could not get free from work;”

I had never really told Kyra who Damon really was, for her he is a man with a mafia look who works in a car rental agency. If I had told her even a quarter of everything he does she would have started screaming and would have done everything for me to leave him and would have warned the police, after all she studies law, she always wanted to be a judge and condemn the bad people, so seeing her here is a real shock for me.

- “So what are you doing here,” I asked her again

- “The truth is that I am not here to have fun, I have a case to deal with and one of the men at the party has the answer to my questions.”

I look at her not understanding. I did not think that judges could also lead investigations themselves and who is this man who brought her here. I had to learn more, it could be related to Damon and then it would put us all in danger.

I look at her, one eyebrow raised. She smiles at me, takes me by the arm,

-“I will tell you all that another time, around a good coffee, keep your phone on, I have to go.” she concludes placing a kiss on my cheek.

I watch her leave. I had a bad feeling about this case, if Kyra was here it was not for nothing and she is one of the most determined people that I know, her presence did not mean anything good, but I was just going to wait for her call, if I acted in any way she would start asking questions.

I then move toward one of the many entrance doors, the house was immense, it looked like a French castle built in the time of kings, huge marble columns were surrounding the house, many men and women were already at the party, from the outside all these people would just look like it was a party between politicians or important people of the country, but in reality it was something else, this is where the biggest heads of crime were. I move forward, I recognize every face, I studied them during the whole week, I looked closely at the profiles of each guest in order to know who I was going to deal with.

In the distance I see my target, Luis Frances, sitting in one of the different lounges of the house, a sofa acting as a throne, placed facing his guests, a low table in front of him where multiple stacks of money were placed. My gaze rests on him, he was rather charming, much more than what is said about him usually during the parties organized at Damon’s, people often said about him that he was horrible, I imagined him fat, with a perverse look, sweating and dominant, while in front of me I had a man aged around thirty years old, dressed in a simple black t-shirt shaping the forms of his sculpted body letting appear his tattoos on the arm representing roman letters, mid-length black hair styled backward and a magnificent clean face. But the most impressive in his face was his look, he had green eyes, a color that I had never seen before. He was extremely charming.

Suddenly our gazes meet, a smile appears on his face while my heart starts beating, he was incredibly impressive to look at. I pretend to smile back at him and I go toward the closest bar near his lounge, making oneself desired is the first rule to respect if we want to attract the big heads into our net.

The bartender approaches me, a young man barely older than me, hair tied back in a bun and dressed in a simple waiter suit.

- “What would you like to drink miss,” he asks me with that deep look

I barely have time to answer that a soft voice is heard, I turn around and I see him, it was Luis.

- “A double rum with lemon for the lady, and stop looking at her like that,” he answers to the waiter before turning to me

- “I did not expect you to follow me so quickly,” I say in a sensual voice

A smile appears again on his face, he was magnificently handsome.

- “I admit I did not think so either, rare are the times when I stand up for a simple woman.” he answers with a look full of desire

His speech full of misogyny finally removes all the charm he had, what do you mean a simple woman, but I had a mission to accomplish if I did not want to attract Damon’s wrath, I take the glass that the waiter just placed in front of me, while my gaze is plunged into Luis’ magnificent eyes. Then I stand up. To be desired Eve, to be desired.

- “I leave you Mr ?” I ask him as if I had never heard of him

- “Luis, Luis Frances and you ?”

- “My name is Eve.”

- “Like the first created on earth but also the first to ignore me while I follow her.” he says with a mocking laugh

- “You have to know how to make yourself desired Luis, it is up to you to follow me.” I whisper in his ear a hand drawing his torso.

I leave, I feel the heat of his gaze on me, I had to visit each room of the house to see if first I could not find information upstairs. I go up the stairs while Luis goes back to sit on his throne. The floor was immense there were a thousand and one doors, I open them one by one before falling on the room that was going to interest me the most his office. I enter the room which strangely was not locked. I look around me, everything was so dark, I take my phone and turn on the flashlight, the room was in the same style as the whole house, an old, contemporary style. A brown desk was placed in the center of the room with a black chair, it looked like the judges’ offices that I saw at the courthouse when visiting Kyra, a huge library was placed against a wall, but strangely compared to the organized style of the house the library was facing the desk and the window. An organization that I found strange considering how perfectly arranged the house was, I approach it and look at each book it contained. There were all kinds of subjects, from law to medicine, in addition to being very attractive, Luis was also clearly someone very cultured. Then one book in particular catches my attention, a simple black book, I put my hand to take it and the library with a dull noise starts to move but at the same time loud gunshots are heard downstairs. I was stuck between going into this room that the library had just opened or checking that everything was fine downstairs then I remembered that Kyra was here, alone and without weapons. I leave the library as it is and I get out of the room.
