Back To You

2- He wouldn't do that to me

Hailey's P.O.V.

Carlos and I made love for a few hours after we got home last night. I should be completely worn out and still sleeping but I couldn't sleep. Justin's conversation kept playing through my head and I couldn't hit the pause button no matter how hard I tried.

He thought Carlos killed my parents, but why? It didn't make any sense to me.

He wouldn't do that to me, he loved me and he showed me daily how much. He never laid a finger on me and would do anything I asked of him.

I couldn't just come out and ask him because then he would think I didn't trust him and he's given me no reason to ever doubt him.

He might be this ruthless person to everyone else, but he was so different with me.

"Bebé? What's wrong?" Carlos asked in a sleepy voice.

"My stomach is a little upset, I'm going to go get some water." I gave him a quick kiss, "Do you want anything?"

"No, hurry back, love."

"I will." I whispered as I put my robe on.

Walking out of the bedroom, I headed down the hall. Walking past a few guards watching T.V. in the living room.

"Señora." (Ma'am)

Nodding my head in respect, I continued to the kitchen.

I went into the liquor cabinet, grabbing the bottle of tequila and a shot glass. Sitting down at the island, I poured the liquid into my glass and took the shot.

I took a deep breath and rubbed the back of my neck before pouring more into my glass. I downed another one and got up, putting the bottle back into the cabinet and the glass into the sink.

I took out another glass and filled it with cold tap water and sat back down.

He wouldn't do that to me. I kept repeating it over and over in my head.

Taking a long drink of water, I dumped the rest and headed back to the bedroom. I heard the soft snores of Carlos as I entered our room. I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth and went to the bathroom before joining Carlos in bed again.

*****
It's been a week since the night the FBI took us out of that restaurant. I acted like nothing was wrong but I wasn't fine. I watched Carlos kill a man and then days later, Agent Walker tells me that Carlos is possibly responsible for my parents death as well.

I was sitting on our bed, watching Carlos put on a tie. "I have a business meeting tonight. I shouldn't be too late. I'm taking more of my men tonight so there won't be as many here with you. If anything happens, go to the safe room until I get back, understand?"

I stood up, fixing his tie so it was straight. "Yes. Just be careful okay? I worry about you." I said as I ran my hands down the front of his suite.

"Mmmm," He grabbed my ass as he pulled me into him and started kissing me. "I'll be safe, I promise."

"I love you."

"Yo también te amo." (I love you, too)

We walked downstairs together. With one last kiss, I watched him as he walked to the armoured vehicles. Turning around one last time, we both kissed our fingers and blew each other a kiss goodbye.

Closing the door behind me, I walked back up to our bedroom. Sitting down on the big window ledge, I looked out the window, thinking about what I was about to do.

If I was right and I didn't find any proof that Carlos killed my parents then I was going to relax and forget about what Agent Walker had told me.

About an hour later, I went into the safe in our bedroom and grabbed the key card to Carlos' office. There were a few different ways to get in there and I didn't have clearance to any of them.
