Severo left LK as the sky darkened.
The driver opened the car door for him and Severo reached down and climbed in.
Severo looked out of the car window, his deep-set eyes undisturbed, his voice calm as he spoke: “What time is it?
“It’s almost eight o’clock. The driver looked at him in the rear-view mirror and answered carefully.
Severo said no more.
It was only eight o’clock, very early.
Victorino said he didn’t have much time left, but he felt that every day was incredibly long.
He pulled out his phone and tapped an icon, quickly finding a small red dot on the map.
The spot where that little red dot appeared made his heart flutter.
He said in a deep voice: “Stop the car!
The driver was startled at the sound of his voice and hurried to stop.
The driver looked back and saw Severo’s sombre face. Although he was a little frightened in his heart, he still called out bravely: “Sir?
Severo drew in two short breaths and his face was frighteningly ugly.
He lowered the hand holding the phone and said in a deep voice: “To the airport! Now!
After saying that, he picked up the phone and instructed his men to prepare the private jet.
Why had he suddenly gone to Ciudad del Cielo?
On second thoughts, it could not be any other possibility than Desiderio.
…
Amado Mejía looked around warily and left.
Allyce tugged on her cap and lowered her head, fearing that Amado Mejía would see her.
His heart was beating fast with nervousness.
She had been kidnapped by Amado Mejia once, and there was something in her mind, and Amado Mejia as a person gave her a creepy feeling.
Severo could be creepy sometimes, but she knew he wouldn’t do anything to her even if he was angry.
Amado Mejía, on the other hand, seemed to Allyce to be a little crazy.
She kept her arms and legs stiff in that position for several days, and the waiter asked her with concern: “What’s wrong with you, Miss?
Allyce lifted her head and tugged at the corner of her lips: “I’m fine, please give me a cup of hot water, thank you”.
The waiter brought her a cup of hot water and Allyce took a few sips before feeling better.
Since that incident in the village, Amado Mejía had disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.
Amado Mejía and Desiderio had left one after the other and must have met to talk about something before, and then they had left one after the other, so as not to be seen.
Allyce felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
Desiderio is an impostor, the real Desiderio is dead, he met Amado Mejía, who was a human trafficker and only returned to teach in his village deep in the mountains after committing a crime.
Desiderio, in turn, knew Delfina.
This makes Desiderio’s earlier claim that he sent money to Delfina because he was grateful to her untenable.
Desiderio is a substitute, but the Alvidrez group improves every year under his control, and he seems to be a gentleman of substance and breeding, a good man in every sense of the word.
Delfina is a girl with heart problems who has been well cared for since she was a child, and she has Alonzo, who is Severo’s biological son.
And the trafficker, Amado Mejía, why exactly he had kidnapped Allyce at that time, and what exactly he had prevented him from doing, he still doesn’t know.
These three people, Allyce would never have related them.
But there must be a definite connection between these three.
And Delfina, who did not seem to have bad intentions …
The more Allyce thought about it, the more complicated it became, and the more she couldn’t make sense of it for a while. There was no way she was going to continue following Desiderio today, and it was getting late, so she had to get back to the hotel.
…
In the evening, while Allyce was at the hotel, surfing the Internet on her computer, she saw a report about a big auction that would take place tomorrow.
It’s the kind of event that usually invites someone of Desiderio’s stature, isn’t it?
Things get more and more complicated, and she can’t follow Desiderio in silence, so she has to look for him head-on.
Tomorrow he will also go to the auction, to create a chance encounter!
It has been decided.
The auction was to start at 9 a. m. and was for three days.
The next morning, a dress she had ordered the night before was delivered to her door.
Allyce got dressed and set off.
…
The auction was held at the Gran Hotel, owned by the Alvidrez group.
She had spent a year in the City of Heaven and had been in and out of the hotel a few times, and she wasn’t sure if anyone knew her.
But that couldn’t matter to her now, she would go in first.
She entered the hotel without any problems, but when she reached the entrance to the auction room, she was stopped.
“Hello, please show me your invitation”.
He had arrived in a hurry, where was the invitation?
Allyce blinked, secretly pondering what excuse to make, when she heard a familiar voice behind her: “I told you to wait for me, you walked so fast, but you still got stopped.
As the words fell, an arm was already over Allyce’s shoulder.
With a little strength, she leaned against his solid chest.
Allyce looked at the man’s familiar, handsome face, completely speechless.
How could Severo be here?
And what was he doing now?
Severo looked at her, the corners of his mouth curved slightly: “There’s no hurry, it hasn’t started yet, what you’re looking at won’t be bought”.
As he spoke, one of his men had already stepped forward to show the invitation to the attendant guarding the door.
“You will wait outside.” Severo said this and dragged Allyce inside.
Allyce was dragged inside by Severo and realised that quite a few eyes were on Severo before she looked back.
He looked around for a moment before removing Severo’s head from his shoulders and moving to an inconspicuous corner.
Severo followed her closely.
There were too many people in the room and Allyce didn’t have time to beat around the bush when she asked, “What brings you here?
Without waiting for Severo to say anything, Allyce added: “Don’t say you’re here for the auction”.
Severo remained silent: “And you? What are you doing here?”
“I have my own affairs, of course.” Allyce cocked her head, coughed slightly, and said, “Thank you for earlier.
The coldness in Severo’s voice: “You’re welcome, after all, our divorce has not yet been announced”.
Allyce hugged herself, her face changed slightly, and she looked at him with stubbornness in her eyes, “So what, you want to remind me that I can’t talk about our divorce even if you haven’t made it public, and that I have to keep it a secret from you too?”
