Tajo snorted and raised his eyebrows: “Conditions?
With that, his eyebrow stretched and he clasped his hands together, leaning his whole body back, looking natural and relaxed.
He stared at Allyce for a few seconds before adding: “You can think like that too.
Tajo posed a condition that was as expected as it was unexpected for Allyce.
Unexpected because the condition seemed, at first glance, too easy.
What was unexpected was that the condition sounded simple, but in reality it was a triple whammy.
Tajo, despite being displeased with her at all times, had never taken her down a peg, never bullied her into leaving Severo.
It is possible that he had tried this tactic before and probably felt that it would not work, so he chose to use it to his advantage and then come to his own ends.
He opted to attack Severo directly, and by the time things reached the point of no return for Severo, Allyce was forced to come to him, and he was then able to make an offer to Allyce.
And he didn’t make Allyce leave Severo in that condition.
Tajo was to take Allyce to J and back to Solares Castle.
When Allyce went to J, Severo was obliged to go too, and he did so willingly.
At that moment, Tajo must have felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart that Allyce had taken the initiative to seek him out and that Severo had taken the initiative to return to the Solares family, with Alonzo in tow.
In this way, the Tagus objective would have been met.
Allyce mentally sorted things out and a sense of helplessness welled up in her heart.
Was I going to say yes?
If he did not, Severo would continue to be detained and Tajo would make more moves.
Afterwards, a trial would await him.
The issue could not be resolved.
Would Severo blame her if she said yes?
But there was no other way out but to say yes.
Severo was detained, restricted in every way, unable to do anything, and if she wanted to change his situation, she would have to say yes.
“How can I trust you?” Allyce looked up at Tajo and spoke calmly.
To Allyce’s question, Tajo didn’t explain much: “You can go back and wait for the news, you’ll know in the morning.
Allyce nodded to see that he didn’t appear to be lying.
After that, he got up: “I’ll be back then.
I didn’t have time to eat with Tajo.
When Tajo saw that he was about to get up and leave after she finished speaking, his face didn’t look so good, but he didn’t say anything.
…
That night, Allyce again did not sleep well, and she was anxious.
The next morning, before Allyce got up, she received a call from Lucila.
“Allyce, have you seen the news? Izar is coming back.
Lucila’s words were a bombshell that pulled Allyce’s heart out of her chest.
Allyce was silent for a moment before replying: “Who are you talking about, Izar?
“Yes, go look it up on the internet, she tweeted it herself.”
“I’ve got it.
Allyce hung up the phone and went online to find Izar’s Twitter feed.
The tweet at the top of his Twitter feed was the announcement of his return.
The date was late in the evening.
Allyce was saddened to see the hundreds of thousands of comments and retweets that followed.
The announcement of Izar’s return had already been trending on several topics.
The first three trending topics were related to Izar.
Izar’s influence cannot be underestimated.
In less than 12 hours, it has been trending in all media and community forums.
The news about Severo was overwhelming for a while.
It was probably Tajo’s doing, and the only thing that could keep Severo’s news alive was Izar.
Allyce felt a slight second in her heart, just as long as Severo’s news could be squashed.
Having had those problems with Izar, and with the news that Izar had disappeared, Allyce couldn’t help but pay attention.
He watched a few news items and saw photos and interviews with Ízar himself.
Allyce’s heart froze, what the hell was going on?
Hadn’t they said before that Izar had drugged Tajo and almost killed him?
How could Tajo leave Izar alive when he had found her?
Or maybe he was overthinking it and Tajo could have let Izar show up to distract everyone.
In any case, I had seen what I wanted to see and Tajo had made itself known.
Throughout the day, Allyce saw the buzz around her and Izar grow, with a story about her appearing almost hourly.
Some cinemas even made the exception of showing Izar’s story again.
…
In the evening, Allyce and Tajo met in Kimdis.
The two sat in a booth and did not order food.
Allyce asked in a quiet voice, as soon as she had a glass of plain water, “When does Grandpa want to come back to J to get me ready?”
Tajo’s eyes flickered as he heard what she said before he spoke, “Then you should get ready as soon as possible, I’ve been gone too long this time and I have a lot to take care of back in J. The sooner the better, of course.
Allyce deliberated for a moment and said: “So, tomorrow?
Tajo raised an eyebrow: “Mind you, it’s not my time that’s wasted”.
Allyce unconsciously clenched her hands, the meaning of Tajo was clear to her, by following it she meant when Severo might return.
“What do you think? What would be the best time?” Allyce asked aloud.
Tajo said: “Tonight”.
Tonight?
Allyce froze slightly, in such a hurry.
He gritted his teeth and said, “All right”.
…
Severo spent ten days in detention and when he was released he was received by Neto and Xabat, along with a group of men.
The policeman who escorted him out frowned.
I had heard through word of mouth that the president of the LK Group had links to the mafia.
Severo’s gaze swept over Neto and Xabat’s faces before returning to Xabat’s, “Where’s Allyce?”
Xabat lowered his head and said nothing.
Severus scowled fiercely, then took three steps forward and grabbed Xabat by the lapels, his dark eyes tinged with anger as he shouted, “I asked you where Allyce was. Didn’t I tell you to stop her?”
Xabat said nothing.
It was a fact that he had not stopped Allyce, because he agreed with her.
Tajo and Severo had been fighting for years and something had to come out of it.
This time it might finally be over.
