CHAPTER 2
"He needs to come home Nico, tell Adrian, Pablo, please make him come home. A woman like me alone in this monster of a house is unfair"
Getting a more convincing response, Fiona hung up, her thin lips stretching into a smile.
"Maybe I should go wife hunting for him" She thought and then she gasped.
"Why didn't I think of that...
She look down on her buzzing phone and quickly picked the call. Thinking it's Nico calling her back.
" Hello, please am I speaking with Aunt Fi?" Came a soft feminine voice.
Fiona gasped, her eyes wide.
“mi niña (my girl) ” She whispered, pulling the phone closer to her ear.
**********
Scarlet sighed in frustration.
The driver had refused to take her further. He stopped the car and pointed.
It's like he was scared of being caught? Or perhaps being seen in that area? She laughed at her own stupid thought.
That's impossible, maybe it's just private property. Alex did tell her once that he had money so maybe...
Just maybe he had enough to get a small place on a private ground? It had to be that.
"Straight down...Never miss... Big house... Only house. " He struggled, obviously not an English speaker.
Scarlet nodded and handed him some cash.
As it turned out, the man was not crazy. It was the only house and a real big house.
No... mansion.
Looking around, she unconsciously opened her mouth in wonder... This was an estate. Nevertheless its starting to give her goosebumps from the quite.
This can't be Alejandro's residence.
The walls kept stretching and she kept walking for forever, beginning to regret not opting for a comfortable wear.
And then she saw it and walked faster.
A tall giant of a gate, nicely crafted, it reminded her of Fiona's cookie decorations.
She smile but it was obvious, it's no house in there.
This can't be Alex's right? She thought, taking out her phone, she began to dial.
It rang once and twice and it got answered.
" Hello, please am I speaking with Aunt Fi?" She rushed.
A sharp intake of breath was her first answer and the familiar...
"mi niña!! "
Scarlet found herself grinning like a fool. How long it had been since she had heard that voice. So soothing, loving, so... Warm.
"Aunt Fi" She whispered but the woman heard and laughed.
"Not fair my love. You never call me personally and it hurts. I feel soo jealous. I even tried calling...
Two bulky looking men suddenly appeared.
"Pensé que ya habíais aprendido la lección, los reporteros!"
Though the words has zero meaning to her she knew they aren't there to play tag with her.
The nasty look they passed her said a thousand.
"Scarlet? Are you there? " The phone snapped her back.
She had momentarily forgotten she was in a call.
The men started to walk closer.
Spitting out what she assume were curses in their language.
"Aunt Fi!! I would love to catch up but do you still live in the same address you gave me? " She rushed. Backing away from the fierce looking men.
She only knew and understand basic Spanish but anymore and it's La La Land. Now she wished she had learnt more from Alex.
"Yes yes... Wait... Are you planning on visiting? I will be soo...
" Aunt Fi am outside your gate already and two men are after me right...
The phone got snatched and smashed on the floor.
Scarlet stared blankly at the third guy who had snuck up behind her.
Then at her phone, now an unrecognizable piece on the road.
Before she could say Who, she was seized from behind. Two others have joined the three men.
Just as she recovered from her shock and started to panic, the big gate opened and a sleek black car drove out, stopping in front of her.
One of the men approached the driver and exchange a few words before turning Scarlet.
"So sorry for the inconvenience" He said in a flawless English.
Immediately she was unhanded.
They bowed in unison and left.
Stupefied, Scarlet could just stare. Then she remember her phone.
She picked it up and felt worse Instantly.
She had just got it, expensive but worth it and now...
She sigh.
The driver opened the door and with a final sigh, she got in.

Alejandro stare at the woman in front of him, shirt unbuttoned to show creamy cleavages, skirt ridden up, face heavily mapped with makeup.
His personal assistant is still on his honey moon and won't be back till the next month.
He had no choice but to hire temporary services.
Where that had led him...
He pressed a button and two men walked in.
"She wants to have fun. Make sure she's satisfied boys" He ordered. Grabbing his tablet as they dragged the lady away.
Her screams and pleas ending as soon as they shut the door.
Leaning back on his chair, he stretches his leg on the polished table, shutting his eyes for a small nap, when the door opened again.
Feeling tired and annoyed from the intrusion, he was prepared to lash at the intruder.
He opened his eyes and groan audibly seeing the three men standing in front of him.
"Told you he'll be happy to see us" One of them said in an overly loud voice.
The others laughed.
"More than happy Pablo, he's elated. Right baby? " The tallest among them said instantly getting a...
"Don't call me that! " From Alejandro.
"Your mum called me baby. Said I am the only one who you listen to, she wants you home sweetie" Nico continued ignoring the harsh feedback.
"I'll kill you Nico! I mean it. Don't call me that and tell my mum I'll join her in...
" I'll have to interrupt you there. You're coming with us. " The third guy threw.
"I have to go to..
" It was not a question or a suggestion Mi amigo. She sounds really worried" The third guy said again.
"Adrian...
" Spare me brother. You need to come with us... Please...
All of them look at him and the silence stretch for a few mins.
Defeated, Alejandro threw his hands up.
“Bah, igual no me escuchas.(Whatever you won't listen to me anyways)”
His friends ignored him and proceed to the door. They turned and saw him being sluggish.
"You coming or what? " Nico frowned.
"By the way... The lady being dragged...
" A new b***h I hired" Alejandro scoffed, frowning as he remembered the incident.
He follows his friends out, whipping out his phone to give last orders when a message pop in.
*Where are you Mr.*
He looked at the sender ID and stopped walking.
After reading it three times, he deleted the message and continued walking, muttering under his breath.
"Out of sight, Out of mind."
It's better that way, at least it's been working. She no longer torments his dreams now. How long has it been since he saw her pretty face?
2years? 3? Ahhh yes...
4 years, 6month and 4days.
Who was he kidding, she owns him so she can never be out of his mind but he will move on and the first step to achieving that is...
No contact with her and definitely no video call.
What he would give to see her again.
"You are doomed man... Forever doomed" He muttered to himself, getting into his car just as his friends drove off.
"Drive. To the estate" He told his driver.
