chapter 24

~ next day / pov Violetta ~

I'm still stuck. I wake up and want to sit up, but I can't. I'm tied up. Suddenly Tomas enters. "Good morning." Tomas says cheerfully. "Why so happy?" I ask. "Oh well. Here's your breakfast." Tomas says and walks over to me. He sets the plate for me. "Eat it. Well, right. You're completely stuck." Tomas says as he takes a slice of bread and brings it closer to my mouth. "Eat." Tomas says. "No." I say. "Eat or I'll hit you." He says. I decide to open my mouth and Tomas shoves the sandwich into my mouth. When he's done, he walks away again.

I was allowed to stay the night with Angie and Herman. I haven't slept all night because I had to think about vilu all the time. Suddenly I hear Milo crying and walk to his room. "What's wrong boy? Do you miss mama like that too?" I ask and take him out of his bed. When I'm downstairs, Angie walks up to me. "Is everything alright?" She asks. "Yes of course." I say somewhat sarcastically. "You look tired." Angie says. "That's right. I'm going to get ready." I say and walk upstairs. When I am dressed I walk downstairs. "I'll wash Milo." Angie says. "Thank you." I say.

I miss Milo and Leon. Suddenly Tomas enters and sits next to me. He comes closer and closer with his hand until he is in a certain place. I want to move away but that is not possible. "You stay put." He says, but I'm not listening. Suddenly he hits my face. "Because you weren't listening." He says. It burns. "Let me go." I say with tears. "No!" Tomas shouts and walks away.

Angie is washing Milo. When she's done, she gives Milo to me. "Olga, can you make a bottle?" I ask. "Yes of course." Olga says. I sit down on the couch. When Olga comes I give Milo his bottle. Suddenly the bell rings. "I'll open it." Herman says as he walks to the front door. "Hello, we are here for the disappearance of Violetta Castillo." Says a police officer. "Come on in." Herman says. "Are you Leon Vargas?" A police officer asks me. "Yes that's me." I say. "We're here to get some more info on your wife." The policeman says. "Okay." I say. "do you need something to drink?" Olga asks. "That is allowed." Says the and police officer. "What do you want and you can put yourself." Olga says. "Give me a Coke." Says one agent. "A water for me." Says the other cop. Olga walks to the kitchen. "How old is she?" Asks the agent. "She is 19 years old." I say. "A little question. Is that your baby?" He asks. "Yes." I say. "Congratulations. Does your wife have health problems?" He asks. "No not really, but she gave birth 2 months ago." I say. "Okay. She has enemies." He asks. "Normally not." I say. "Have you noticed anything strange in the last few days?" He asks. "Yes, the day before yesterday at our son's baby shower, an ex of hers came. He told her something and she was quiet for the rest of the day." I say. "Okay. What's her ex's name?" He asks. "Tomas Heredia." I say. "Okay. Thanks for the information." Says the agent. "You're welcome." I say while letting the officers out.
