Perfectly Imperfect

Chapter 14

*Alonso*

"What do you have for me Emilio?"
"Sir, there is no sight of Maria Camilla since the last two days. We've been watching the house but there was no sign of her. I think she's away from home."
My right hand man gave me information. He is loyal and good at his job and I'm sure he wouldn't jump to conclusions just like that.

"That is not her home. This is where she belongs and as for her disappearance, keep watching the house. Eventually she'll come back but after that, make sure to find out why she was away for three days straight," I ordered.

"I want to know every single detail so I can be steps ahead of my enemies. Did I make my self clear?"
"Yes sir,"
My phone rang and fished it out of my pockets.

"Hello?" I answered the unknown number, excusing myself from Emilio.
"Alonso, it's been a long time," my eyes widened at Emilio in shock. The last time I heard that voice was five years ago but why call all of a sudden? 

"Felipe is that you?"
"What? Are you surprised? I'm a free man now," he said over the phone with delight in his voice.
"Don't tell me you escaped," I whispered so no one will hear especially Valeria.

"Alonso, don't act as if you don't know me. I'm back now man!" Felipe laughed.
"Well it's a good thing that you're here now. Do one thing, let's meet up. I will send you the time and place," I said putting my hands in my pockets. He is here just at the right time to help me with my business.

"Sure thing. Let it be somewhere secretive, I have to work on my identity as soon as possible."
"I know," sighing, I said.
"See you Felipe."
I hung up and strode back to Emilio.

"Seems like the heavens are on our side," I smiled at Emilio who looked clueless.
"Felipe is back," the announcement made him surprised as hell. Even I am surprised but we know Felipe better than that, he gets whatever he wants and no one can stop him just like me, his elder brother.

"Well that's a good thing sir but how did he manage to escape?" He asked.
"He didn't say anything. We'll be meeting up later, you should come with me."
"Alonso!" Valeria was yelling my name all over the place again. She can't see Emilio here so I shooed him away but unfortunately she was already standing at the door.

"Alonso, what is this man doing here?" Anger was evident in her voice. Heels clapping against the tiles as she walked fast, standing a couple feet away from me.
"Excuse me," he left the two of us alone when I nodded at him.

"Don't tell me you're up to something again Alonso. I thought you were done with those kind of things since the case of Maria Camilla? What are you trying to do huh?"
"Will you for once mind your business Valeria. You always come into things that doesn't concern you!" I scolded with a deep hoarse voice. This woman just gets under my skin lately with all her problems and nagging.

I'm tired of her attitude.

"Oh so now it doesn't concern me. When you mess up, do you think you'll be the only one that'll be affected especially now the world knows who you are?.... "Spain's wealthiet businessman."
"You know what Valeria, I have more important things to do than just stand here and argue with you," I made my way out, leaving her back there.

Day by day, she's getting more annoying than ever.
Now, I sincerely regret having too many women in the past.

*Major*

"Major, go with these soldiers and check out where that bad smell is coming from and the cause of it. Intel. You also go along with them," it is as if something rotten has been kept around the area but judging by the strong smell, it could only be something that has life.
