RESURGENCE (rinascita)

Chapter 11

Alessandro POV

After leaving Jules in the kitchen, I went to my office and started doing my work. A few minutes later I heard the car. She left.

So what's wrong? You told her that she can leave. Of course, she was going to leave, she wanted to leave. A voice inside me said. I have lost my mind.

She was a strong girl, I have to admit. She lied to me and the reason why I left her in the room was that I knew that she was lying and that she will continue to lie so, I had no choice but to leave her and find answers on my own. The antitode of the poison in her body was still in my hands as I gave half of it to her. She will need more and she will ask me for that to stay alive. And I will find her like that. I know that she knows me and that she will contact me so I guess I am one step ahead of her. The thing that shocked me more was that her brother also died in the same pattern as mine did. Not somethings that sets with me as I don't believe in coincidences.

I called Marco in my room after a while, "Yes, boss." He asked me, entering the room. "She left." He answered my unasked question. "I wasn't going to ask that but fine, you can leave," I told him. "Then why did you call me?" He said with a grin, stupid grin. "Fuck off and no I called you for another reason. Could you find Rosaline?" I asked him.

After she escaped we couldn't find her trace anywhere, as if she never came to that place where my men died. "Nope, nothing." He said with an annoyed expression. It's not wholly my fault that those people died there because of some revenge. There families are left alone now. Dad asked me to give those men the duty. So, it's also his fault as mine. "Call Dad and tell him that we couldn't find her but we will continue to look for her. He should call David and try to explain to him what happened. Is it clear?" I told him and he nodded, "Crystal,". "Fuck off then," I told him and he left my office while taking his phone out of his pocket.

Jules was lying to me about everything she told me. Or whatever her name was. I know that she is not an undercover officer as she would have never told me this type of thing without being tortured and because of that, I asked my driver to follow her. No matter what, he should be able to find her address. I looked at my desk to find my phone lying there. She asked for it, so maybe I can find something about her here. I gave her the phone because I have a software installed in my phone that allows you to listen to all the conversations you had with anyone on the phone. I opened my phone to look for her conversation.

WHAT THE HELL? My software was re-installed. All the records were there except hers. She did it. She knew that. Fucking hell... She is someone dangerous that much is clear and also intelligent.

WOW, I don't know whether to be impressed or angry.

I threw my head back on my chair and rubbed my neck. I under-estimated her, that's all I can say. How can I be so stupid? I allowed her to play with me.

I rubbed my eyes when a message popped on my screen. Not a message an audio and it was not from someone, it was in my phone. I again opened my phone and tapped on the audio message to listen to what's inside it.

Ciao, scusa per aver mentito. So che nemmeno tu eri convinto. Jules's voice came out of it. After a pause she laughed. She fucking laughed and she also knows how to speak Italian. Hello, sorry for the lying part. I know you were not convinced either.

But u know what on second thought no I am not sorry and fuck u for poisoning me. I know that right now you are thinking that I can speak Italian. Well yes fucking yes I can and FYI I am half Italian. You thought that I was stupid not to notice that you weren't convinced of my lies, come on at least one can pretend. If you are listening to this it means that you know what I did to your phone's software. Thank you so much for appreciating me and u know what I can do so much more... U just have to wait. I know you will send someone behind me so let me tell you, I would have already escaped from him or them by now. I am not a cop. But it was true that you will never see me ever again but I will see you. I will see u again and again until I make u suffer the same thing you made me suffer. One last thing I know who you are... Francesco's son but I don't know your name, YET. See you soon, bye.
