CHAPTER 25°°°

JEROMINO

"Dad are you threatening my child?" I asked seriously and he smiled.

"Does it look like I'm playing around? I've never liked Fernanda from day one so stop making me get involved with her when I absolutely dislike her" Dad said seriously.

"Dad you're indirectly telling me, you really sent your men to kill Fernanda that day because you don't like her"

"I have no idea what you're talking about but your dad isn't a saint. Jeromino stop pushing me to do things I don't want to do" Dad scolded and I scoffed.

"Now I see the reason why I always get a bad feeling whenever you're around. Dad I put a blind eye to things you do because I thought you were doing it for some reason but if this is the way you handle things then my judgement have always been wrong. I can't just seat back and watch you threaten the woman of my dreams and my daughter. If you have a problem with Fernanda then deal wit it because I love Fernanda so much that I can't let her come to harms way same goes for our daughter" I said seriously.

"Jeromino you will regret ever letting Fernanda into your life. You have no idea what you're getting into. Don't come back to me when you finally get to the bottom of this" Dad forewarned.

"Don't even think about bringing any harm to my daughter and Fernanda. My eyes are on you dad so stay clear from the two beautiful creatures in my life if you don't want to see the other side of the son you gave birth to"

"I will stay clear as long as you don't get my business involved in the future" Dad said and I looked away.

"Just leave" I said seriously and he went out.

I had a glance at my wristwatch and my eyes went wide open.

It's almost time for me to go to the airport.

FERNANDA

"Bro there's still no information about uncle Luciano?" asked Fred curiously.

"We haven't been able to reach him for months. It's true uncle Luciano don't stay home but this is the first time he's not home for a long time. Oh yeah I found this documents" He said and placed the documents on the table.

"What's all this?" I asked curiously as I had a glance at the papers.

"These are uncle's transactions in the States but something feels fishy about the documents, uncle Luciano doesn't travel out of the country that much but how come he has so many traveling tickets" Fred said and I put some thoughts into it.

"Fernanda I looked into the victim's family that was murdered. He's family got compensated the day before he died but how did they get such huge sum of money if their son is just freelancer" My lawyer Jorge said and I smiled.

"Are you trying to say someone else killed him for stealing his money?" I asked curiously.

"I think he got involved with a bad gang and he tried to play smart"

"But why am I being framed for his death? It doesn't seem like I'm anyhow connected to him" I said seriously.

"And that why helping people is terrific. Fernanda you only got framed because you tried to help but not to worry, helping others isn't a crime. I looked into the casinos the victim always visiting but nothing seems odd in all of them except for one"

"You looked into the casinos as well but you seem to have a glue on one of them" Fred asked curiously.

"Of course it's my job to look for evidence to clear my client's name and yes I found out one of the casinos lend money to their customers but failure to return the money in a few days, the person's life will be threatened" Jorge explained.

"That means they're responsible for his death and they used me as a scapegoat" I said seriously.

"Fernanda I don't think that's all about this case. You been set up have something to do with the guy you got arrested for the murder of your mum"

"What do you mean Jorge?" Fred and I asked curiously.

"I noticed the man who keeps visiting him in jail also visited the family of the deceased before you got your sentence and I have a hunch they changed their minds after speaking with him"

"Are you saying it's all connected?" I asked curiously.

"Yes Fernanda and I think the boss of the casino is the reason for all this" Jorge said.

"This is good news, at least we know who's after us. We just have to find out who the boss is so we can report it to the police" Fred said seriously.

"He seems to be very wealthy and that's why they don't reveal the identity of their boss" Jorge said and I frowned.

"If he's connected to all this then that means he's also responsible for the death of my mother. More reasons why I need to get to the root of this, I have to give mummy justice" I said seriously and Fred held my hand.

"You're going through this because you're fighting for justice Fernanda but it will all be over soon. Thanks to Jeromino for getting us a good lawyer, I can't believe Mr Hugo turned his back on us when we needed him the most" Fred said.

"I guess he has foresee the future struggles of this case and that's why he ran away in the last minute. Elvis is a very good friend of mine and I will do everything in my power to help a friend in need so Fernanda rest assured, I will get you out of here before this year runs out" Jorge assured and I smiled.

"My family and I are putting our trust in you so please don't disappoint us" I smiled.

I can't wait to send the devil to jail so he will have a taste to what hell feels like. I going to vent all the anger in my heart on him, every ruin in my life started with him and it's definitely going to end with him.

"I will go look into the casino again, I have the feeling hard drugs are being sold there. I just need to know the exact date they make transactions so the police can help us with that first" Jorge suggested.

"You have to be careful, he doesn't sound like an easy person. No drug dealer like his hideout being leaked out so we just have to be careful" I advised and he nodded as he stood up.

"I will go ahead now so take care. See you soon" He said and left.

"Fernanda I'm glad we're getting some progress on your case" Fred cut in with a smile.

"I'm having the feeling it's only getting started. Anyways how's Marisol? If it was possible for you to bring her here with you, I would love it" I said slowly.

"Marisol is fine and Abuela will never agree to that. She still thinks you haven't come back to your senses"

"She's overreacting, it's been months already. Why won't she let me see my daughter? It's already so tough being in here. Have you heard from Jeromino? Hope he was allowed to come visit Marisol?" I asked curiously.

"He dropped by a month ago but he had to leave early for work because he had a shot that day"

"That means you spoke with him?"

"A little bit, I'm still quite upset for what he did to you but he seems to be a changed person. Have you ever thought of getting back with him?"

"I'm in no position to think of such things. All I can think of is how to make my enemies rot in hell"

AUTHOR'S POV

In a few days time Jorge got a clue on Agustin's casino and he had glimpse at Agustin when he was talking with VIP guests in his casino.

"Fernanda, I found out who the boss is? Agustin Guzman is the owner of the casino" Jorge said over the phone with Fernanda.

Fernanda was having a call with Jorge during the phone call hours.

"What?" Fernanda gasped out in shock.

"I witnessed it myself and their transaction will be taking place later in the day so I have to go inform the police where the hideout is" Jorge said.

"Can you send a message to someone on my behalf?"

"Sure" Jorge said.

"I want to meet Agustin Guzman" Fernanda said seriously and hung up before Jorge will utter a response.

It's not the Agustin Guzman I know of right. Fernanda uttered in her mind putting her thoughts together.

NEXT DAY

Fernanda was in her cell folding her blanket when one of the security women came to her cell.

"You have a visitor Fernanda" She informed then took Fernanda with her.

"You came earlier than I expected" Fernanda smirked as she walked to where Agustin was.

"What do you want? Ain't you satisfied with being in jail alone or you want to rot in hell instead" Agustin threatened and Fernanda laughed.

"I want my freedom back"

"You can never get it back" Agustin scoffed.

"What do think will happen to you if I tell Jeromino you sent me here? Your son loves me so much, he will do anything to get justice for me so I think you should rethink what you just said" Fernanda smirked.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Give me my freedom back and I will keep my mouth shut, you can do that much to save your relationship with your son right"

"Little girl you have no idea who you're messing with"

"Are you doing it or not" Fernanda shouted.

"Fine I will get you out of here"

"How can I trust you"

"Hello, get rid of all the fake evidence against Fernanda and get the real culprit to confess" Agustin said to Williams over the phone.

"Are you sure about that boss?"

"Get it done before today ends" Agustin instructed then hung up.

"You will be out of here in a few days, are you satisfied with that"

"Don't even think about playing me, I still have my trump cards"

No matter what you do, you must rot in jail for what you did to my mother.
