SHE-MAFIA

Chapter-19

One weeks later****

Ignacio has to die.

He has to die.

Kill Ignacio......Eve...

Eve opened her eyes slowly as the voice whispering things to her streamed away. It's a familiar voice she knows very well. It has been speaking to her since she felt her late brother's body go cold in her arms.

Her only brother.

Her world.

Her everything.

Taken away from her by the cold heartless hands of death.

Of course Ignacio will die. She said to herself. She is surely going to kill him. She must. Not only to give her brother rest but herself as well

Her eyes went to the windows where there is a view of an ocean. Miguel took her to their maternal home that very day Ace died. The maternal home was Ace's grandmother's home. They have been there for a week now.

He knows it is dangerous for his niece to go back to the Sanchez Mafia resident. And Ignacio has no idea of them being in their maternal home neither does he know that Eve is with Miguel.

She is in one of the rooms but hasn't come out since. She hardly eat or sleep. She cry everyday and rage at the thought of that bastard Ignacio breathing and sitting on the ruling seat of the Sanchez Mafia celebrating.

You could hear her break things, scatter things, scream and cry. The maids tried comforting her but all was to no avail. Miguel has tried too but Eve is just too entangled in her grief. He understands that they were so close to each other but what has happened has happened.

She just has to let go.

Eve can't let go unless her brother's murderer is six feet down.

She stands up from the couch that she has been sitting on since morning and walked towards the windows. She stared at the ocean as memories of her and Ace came swimming in. He was her everything. Though they hid under the banner of brother and sister relationship, it is more of a father and daughter thing.

He taught her everything she knows. She could remember when he taught her how to swim. How to fight. How to be fearless and strong. He was more than a brother to her.

He was her father.

Her own parents abandoned her but Ace was the angel that saved her. He took care of her right from when she was a little baby till her eighteen year old days.

Hell she is surely going to kill that bastard.

He took away her life. Ace was her life and that bastard took it away.

A knock came on her door but she doesn't move a muscle. The person comes in and it's Miguel.

"Eve"

Eve doesn't answer but focused on the ocean.

"How are you?" He asked

Eve doesn't reply.

He sighed. "Well um...I am here to discuss the date we are going to bury your brother"

Eve is still silent.

"You know it's been a week. I don't think it's best we leave him at the morgue. We have to plan on a date to bury..."

"My brother won't be buried until Ignacio is dead" Eve said quietly without looking at him.

Miguel furrowed his brows at her. "Listen Eve, I know you are in pain. But..."
