Xavier's POV:

"Think again Lorenzo. We can stop him now itself, or you will be suffering too one day" I simply shrugged, before leaning back in my chair.

I just talked to Lorenzo on video call about the Serbian mafia again. I gave him the bait Sylvia told me to give him. But the guy is a true genius in maintaining the poker face.

I don't know what he is thinking, neither is he saying anything. I've tried so many times to read him, but he isn't letting me.

Finally, I heard him sigh. "How many men do you need Alvarez?" he asked, the irritation of defeat lacing his tone.

My wife's a genius!

We discussed about the way we were going to plan this and made a quite solid plan. Safe to say, I was happy with the end result.

As soon as I cut the call with him, my phone started ringing. I smiled as I saw who was calling me. "Hello love" I greeted, a cheerfulness in my tone.

"What the fuck Xavier!!" Max exclaimed so loud that I had to pull the phone away from my ear. "What? What's wrong?" I asked, sitting up straight.

"20 million! You just donated 20 million to my fucking company!"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at how big of a deal he was making it seem. "I did darling. It's your dream after all" I said.

Max has been working on the construction of AI for zoo animals. It's always been his passion to do something for animals. He loves them.

So he is trying to make some sort of technology for the animals in National Parks and Zoos so that they get the homely feeling even while being captured.

I have no idea what he is doing or how he is doing it. But he's trying to do something to fulfill his passion and I'll always support it.

"Xavier....I asked for small charitable donations. Not 20 fucking million!" he yelled again. "I make that in one day baby" I replied.

"Well what am I going to do with 25 million dollars?" he asked. "25?" I asked confused. "Yes! Sylvia gave me so much too!" he sighed.

"You didn't fight her on it too now, did you?" I asked. "No. Not after I saw how much you gave" he answered.

"Use it then. I've given it to you to fulfill your dream. Now use it" I said, and he before he could argue further I cut the call, "Bye handsome!"

But I didn't even have a second before I received yet another call. This time, from Jess. She is the only one who's calls make me panic.

"Yes?" I picked it up, my voice firm and hiding my nervousness. "You need to come here Xavier. FAST!" she exclaimed.

I didn't even ask how or why and just ran to my car. "What happened?" I asked when I had finally settled in my car.

"Natalia is having terrible PTSD. Apparently she hit her head somewhere today while playing around. And now she just won't stop crying or trembling. We've tried everything, but she's not letting us touch her. She just keeps calling your name."

I cursed under my breath, breaking god knows how many traffic rules. Anothony would take care of them.

I rushed to the medical home and reached there within 10 minutes. "Where is she?" I asked, barging in there.

"Xavier!" Jess exclaimed, quickly guiding me through the crows to my sister. She was curled up in a corner with her knees pulled up to her chest.

Trembling and sweat, mumbling incoherent words continuously. Tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. But the only word that was understandable was...
