Chapter.10
"Ane, don't come in now, please!" He warned stiffly as luz opened the door and stepped out, so Rejane returned and waited while he relieved himself, she just held back her laughter, she knew luz had up to something." You can come." he called already out of the tub sitting in the shower chair just inches from the tub.
"She seems to like you." He commented, handing her the towel.
"You are wrong, she is a cunning woman who will do anything to get what she wants.
"I don't believe it's that way, besides, Scooby told me about your lying to get her to accept the contract, you weren't very fair to her either.
"Yes.
"The way she's been teasing you, do you think you can handle it? You could even have a child, but you would have to allow yourself. Dona Rejane spoke gently, the word son gave her heart a little stir, that seemed like not such a bad idea, an heir.
"That's the deal, so until the day I die, I won't touch her," he says with conviction as he puts on his robe.
"If you say so, although I don't believe it.
After getting dressed his housekeeper took him to the dining hall to have his breakfast, it seems that light was marking his time, she arrived as soon as he was settled, pulled a chair closer to her husband and sat down.
"I have already allowed you to leave, what do you want now?" He asked as he saw her leaning over his wrist, watching him with a discreet smile as he wondered if there was a possibility she had seen.
"Nothing, You're a good kisser, Husband." She joked, leaving him surprised, almost wrenching a shy smile from him.
Scooby shared the same table as the two of them and watched them a bit from a distance, while Luz leaned toward Leon, giving him a kiss on his cheek making him stare at her reproachfully, making her crack a big grin from ear to ear, it seemed that annoying him made her happy.
"Scooby, I'm ready to go, let's go to the company!" he announced pulling away from Luz.
"What about me?" she asked seriously.
"You stay home, don't leave without my permission.
"Am I a prisoner now? Remember that you released me to leave.
"Yes, I'll be home in the afternoon." He warned following Scooby.
Scooby was a little apprehensive to hear this, but waited until they reached the car to talk.
"Are you going to let her go to the club, sir?" Scooby asked after they got into the car.
"Did she do anything yesterday besides dance?
"No, I didn't bother to make sure either, I just believed she would be fine and let her have her privacy.
"Did any man mess with her?
"No.
"If anyone assaults her or approaches her, you must protect her, if I see her hurt again I will leave that nightclub in ruins." Asseverated, Scooby just shook his head positively.
Meanwhile, at the Hatawhay mansion a meeting was called. The hall was tidy and its members arranged at a large rectangular black solid wood table, the eldest was sitting at the top of the table standing out from the others being able to see all his members.
Old Dercy, a rickety, lanky, ill-tempered gentleman with disheveled hair hidden in his Fedora hat, a few strands of hair escaping to the side giving him a relaxed look, had a somber look.
"Well, Uncle?" Rafael asked, a man who appeared to be around 38 years old and next to him a beautiful girl with pale skin, black hair below the shoulders, red lips with a discreet cunning smile, this is Diana 30 years old, Rafael's wife.
"I am waiting for the butler to bring the reports." she warns nonchalantly keeping one hand on the back of the other hand caressing.
It doesn't take long before he enters with a tray carrying on top some sheets.
"We can begin." he announces taking As you already know Leon is in town, finally after a torturous ten years he appeared, as you already know his younger brother Levi, died after joining the mafia, it means the gods are on our side.
"Yes, but the first attempt to end Leon's life was thwarted." comments Rafael with disgust.
"Yes! And we still didn't know who the girl is who was with him, the same one who saved him, but the meeting is about that." He announced then everyone became restless.
"Her name is Luz Alessandra, she is supposed to be a friend of Leon, we are investigating the relationship of the two.
"Could it be her girlfriend or wife?" asked Diana.
"I don't believe it, Leon is on the verge of collapse after becoming disabled, the time I knew him before he was suspicious of us, he was suffering from depression and now with the death of his father, he has become a man unable to fall in love.
"He should just die right away." Asseverated Diana angrily, while some others agreed.
"If you had married him, you would have a better chance of helping us and could have inherited or taken his entire fortune, so there is no point in wishing for his death.
"I know..." She pressed her lips together, indignant
"Don't be like that, you are with me now." Rafael consoled her, squeezing one of her hands that is with a delicate lace glove.
Everyone in that room wears black or white, making the air of the place cold and serious, since besides the neutral colors in the clothes, the walls were also in dark color.
"Well, as much as Leon distrusts us, and investigates us, he has no proof, only suppositions, he can't accuse us of your father's death, however Levi's death we are all innocent, but I called one of you to assign someone and get rid of Luz Alessandra. In three days I will have all the information about her, I have already put men following her, since she is living in the Fischer mansion, it will be very easy to find out who she is.
"Uncle is quite anxious, isn't he?
"I don't want to spend even a year trying to kill Leon, he won't leave any loopholes, he won't make it easy, and he may start taking away all our rights in the Insury company.
"I will still keep my position." Said Thaddeus, one of the 45-year-old elders, proudly.
"Even you can lose your position in management, you know Leon has put investigators to monitor you.
"I know, that's why I won't give him any reason to kick me out, just like most of the hatawhay who are there, none of you should leave in evidence your intentions in that place." The aforementioned agreed.
"Uncle, if you don't mind, I volunteer to pursue this Luz Alessandra person." Fernando volunteered.
"Okay." He agreed indifferently.
