Enchanted melody of our hearts

🧩MISSING PIECE-CHAPTER-33

THIRD POV:

1 month skip,

The past month they had been an emotional whirlwind for everyone. After a dramatic rescue that saw Camila and Meera freed from their captivity, Adrian wasted no time. They'd quickly retrieved Naveen and Kumaran, and the entire group had set off for Burlington.

Following the dramatic rescue, Meera suggested that Camila and the children relocate to Burlington. Firstly, Meera didn't want Camila to feel alone after the ordeal, and secondly, Burlington offered a secure environment with Evelyn, thier grandmother, readily available for support. Adrian, touched by Meera's compassion and selflessness, felt a surge of love and gratitude for her that exceeded words.

Even Carlos had taken temporary leave to be closer to his daughter and grandchildren. The news of Camila being fooled by Javier had left him heartbroken, but he wasn't one to dwell on the past. He assured Camila of his unwavering support, urging her to focus on building a brighter future. 

Meanwhile, Adrian hadn't forgotten about Javier. The man had been captured and whisked away to Adrian's stronghold in Madrid. Javier's men were left scrambling, clueless about their leader's fate. Adrian, with ruthless efficiency, had shut down Javier's entire legal business, leaving him financially crippled. But Adrian's vengeance went beyond the money. He'd meticulously severed Javier's connections with other criminal enterprises, leaving the man isolated and powerless.

Through his own network of informants, Adrian had discovered the existence of a mysterious man called VSP, a man Javier was somehow linked to. His men were currently on a covert mission, digging deeper into VSP and its connection to their nemesis.

News of Adrian's swift and decisive takedown of Javier sent shockwaves through the criminal underworld. The ruthless efficiency with which he'd dismantled Javier's entire operation, both legal and illegal, left VSP, Javier's shadowy associates, stunned and terrified, VSP realized,  Adrian was far more dangerous than they'd initially anticipated. His reputation in Madrid preceded him. A man of immense wealth and influence, he commanded respect even from some within the political sphere. While some politicians secretly admired his ruthlessness, others feared his power. Adrian also gained a good name in the business field all around the world. His loyalty and hardworking nature earned him a stellar reputation in Spain.

Adrian's extensive charitable work further complicated matters. The public adored him. VSP, unwilling to risk a public confrontation with such a special figure, decided to play it safe. For the time being, at least, they would lie low, waiting for the dust to settle before making their next move.

Hernandez enterprises:

It was around 10 pm, and the office was emptying as employees clocked out for the day. Adrian remained seated in his high-backed CEO chair, With a bit of stubble shadowing his strong jawline, he exuded a powerful aura. His eyes were glued to his computer screen, his black coat abandoned on the visitor's chair. He wore a crisp white shirt that hugged his broad shoulders, the sleeves casually rolled up. A smartwatch gleamed on his left wrist. 

The late-evening silence of the office was shattered by Luis, bursting through the door. "What's the big damn deal, amigo?" he grumbled with a playful grin. "Couldn't this wait? Mi terremoto chiquito (My little earthquake) decided to be an angel tonight, and I had plans with Elena. You just had to wreck it with your señor summons."

Luis flopped onto the couch, his complaints laced with a thick Spanish accent. Adrian, with a cool swagger, shook his head and chuckled. He rose from his chair and joined Luis.

¡Despacito, Luis! (Slowly, Luis!)Adrian said, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. "Diego said its important"

Luis's playful demeanor faltered slightly at Adrian's seriousness. He nodded. "So, when are we rolling to Burlington, huh? Elena wants us there early to be there with Meera's parents for their 25th wedding anniversary."
