Chapter 58: Suspects
Loraly POV
“Get her out of that jail.” Those specific words came from Baldo and stuck in her head. Their conversation didn’t last for long but what mattered was Fera asked for her help. Who would set her up?
“I won’t fail you, Miss.” She put her glasses on and turned her gaze to the papers on her table. The first suspect, Nick Kingston Hernandez, is the closest person to Fera. She might didn’t claim that she trust him at some point he was her weakest spot. He was the only heir of Hernandez who once dare to climb to Fuentes.
He has full access to her apartment, that was the reason why he had flawlessly gathered those evidence. But those were stolen from him.
Down her second suspect, he may appear innocent in this situation but he was a stalker and an admirer of Mr. Fuentes. He might be far from Hernandez since he didn’t acknowledge his father’s surname and use his mother’s, but he could still work with Hernandez.
He might want to eliminate Fera to take his idol’s place. He was good at technology, he could easily break into the security system and he use Nick to do it for him by luring him with some information and curiosity made him do what Ben wanted.
“Absurd.”
She turned to her last suspect, Fred. Her cousin, among all, has the most power with manipulation. He could do this easily, but what would be his motive? He could be the most wealthy businessman in the country but he chooses to stay in his place and let Fera be on top.
The triggering part, he could trigger Nick. He could do hacking too. But why would he betray Fera that way? If it wasn’t him, what took him long to fix this?
She dropped all the paper and blew her frustration. “If only I moved quicker and defy her orders she’s already out by now. This got complicated when someone showed up as a complainant. The hearing would start anytime soon.”
She turned to the corner of her table and find a picture frame. It was her with Mr. Fuentes. The rare picture was that they were smiling and his arms wrapped around her waist and his chin was resting on her shoulder.
A strong kind of pain stab her heart when she saw it, she smiled but her tears were on their edge of falling. She got the frame and touched his face.
“If only I could find who killed you, everything will fall in its right place. I have to try to find who did this to you.” She closed her eyes and reminisce the memories she kept in her heart.
‘In that very office and swivel chair, he visited her and sat on her swivel chair. She sat on his lap and rested on his chest.
“I heard you fought with Miss Hera.” His deep and calm voice made her pout.
“I was doing my job when she suddenly meddle and said it wasn’t the way I should do it. As if she know what it was. She didn’t even know what it is.” She heard him chuckle and caress her back.
“She didn’t that’s why you should have disregarded her words and continued. She wasn’t worthy enough of your time.” She nodded and she felt him kiss her forehead.
“I know, I would do that again.”
“Good, how’s my daughter?”
“She’s fine, she’ll be forever alright on my watch.”
“Thank you, Lor.” Then he touched her chin and made her face him, he kissed her and they stayed in that position for long.’
His arms were her safest place, it was her who took care of him when he was mourning his wife's death. She did everything to save him from pain. All she wanted was to take care of the family her older sister.
Everyone knew her as a mere secretary who he hired after his wife died but she was beyond that in reality.
“I will take care of your daughter, Love. I will never fail you. I love you and I hope I would have a chance to see you. I miss you.” She hugged the frame and kissed his picture.
But she knew that her secret must stay hidden. She placed the picture frame in her vault where their other pictures were. She stood up and walked to her cabinet where her guns and weapon were. She wore chocolate brown boots and black pants paired with a black shirt. She put on her chocolate brown leather jacket and ran down to her garage.
She hopped in her car and drove to Mr. Reymondo’s house. She shoot his windows and waited for him to return the bullets. And he did it late than she expected.
“I need the documents!” She shouted and she got no response.
“I didn’t come to play, Reymondo!” He knew who she was, he knew that she holds his neck in this matter. She knew how to hurt him in his fatal spot. His family abroad and his illegitimate son.
He threw a flash drive and when she got it, a bomb follow but she pick it up and put the pin back. She threw the bomb back to his house and dodge all the bullets that came.
She easily got back in her car and drove off. She needed to hurry up and work to get her out but everything gets complicated now, she needs to solve all the mysteries to clean her up.
When she got into her office she saw her papers, it was messed up and she knew she didn’t leave it that way. She either didn’t fix it but the position wasn’t the same anymore.
She packs all her things and even her vault in a hurry. Her office isn’t safe anymore. She cleared all her computers and made sure that there was no trace of any information about her and Fera. After clearing it all, she got her chair and smash her computer.
She drove off after that and went to her secret house to drop off her things and drove to Ben’s house.
But Ben hasn’t been in his house. “Dang!”
She snatched her phone out of her pants and dialed someone from the hospital.
“How’s the Hernandez?”
“On their way home.” She end the call that quickly and waited for Ben to show up. After a long waiting, she finally saw a car coming. She went out and expected it to be Ben but he saw an old man in the driver’s seat. She saw Ben out from the back seat.
“What are you doing here?”
