going to jail

Chapter 7

"Thank you so much." I thanked the nurse with a smile. I just asked something so I left Dwayne in his room. "Dwayne" I couldn't continue what I was going to say because Dwayne wasn't there. I knocked on the door but he wasn't there. The bed is in order and his things are gone.

Oh my gosh, don't tell me he's gone? Why didn't I even notice and another thing why is he leaving me without even saying goodbye!

"Can we talk?" mommy asked seriously when I got home.

I nodded and approached him. "What are we going to talk about mommy?"

"About La Torre's."

"Yes?"

"Don Ignacio La Torre came here."

I frowned.

"Do you know what he said? He wants me to tell you."

Huh? Tell me? Why?

"He said to stay away from his grandson if possible."

"To Maxene?"

Mommy shook her head. "The mysterious Dwayne Maverick, I didn't think you were close to that grandson of his. I didn't really think you knew each other. What's wrong with you, is there something between you?"

Tears!

"there's no intervening between us, you're just friends-."

"But you have to stay away from him, you have to avoid him Via Kaye."

"But why?" I asked, wondering why I was being kept away from Dwayne.

"It's okay that you're close to Maxene, there's no problem, but with Dwayne you have to stay away from him. Don Ignacio said he's a dangerous person. What kind of job is that Dwayne?"

"I-I don't know." I said weakly. I don't want to say Dwayne's real job.

" In Don Ignacio's speech earlier, he looks like a dangerous person. I don't want you to be harmed Via, I don't want you to-."

"Dwayne won't do anything to me. He's kind mommy."

"But even so, stay away from him. That's Don Ignacio's order."

"Why should I follow Dong Ignacio mommy's order. There is nothing wrong with being friends with Dwayne."

"Just follow it Via! Stay away from that La Torre. Maybe something will happen to you. Don't be stubborn, I won't tell your daddy what we talked about with Don Ignacio, but if you don't obey the order expect If your daddy finds out, he might keep you away from here." said mommy. He stood up and headed for the stairs.

Shaking my head, I followed him. Because I am Via Kaye, I will not follow what they want. I don't want to leave Dwayne!

"Can I have your brother's number?" I messaged Maxene.

"Who?" she replied.

"Dwayne." I replied and he immediately gave it to me, so I excitedly called Dwayne. "Answer it." I whispered. He doesn't answer. I called him again and he answered after only two rings.

"Hello." it is indifferent to answer.

"Hi Dwayne! It's me Via. It's you, you didn't say goodbye that you were leaving earlier." I said facetiously.

It was crispy.

"Youth dirty mouth Dwayne." I said.

"Maxene."

"What? "My sister gave you my number? Is she serious?!'

"I'm his best friend, that's why he immediately gave me your number."

"Goodbye!"

I adjusted my seat. This man is terrible. Saying goodbye right now, we haven't talked in a long time.

"Dwayne, let's talk first." I said while smiling.

"I want to rest, bye." he said and hung up on me! He's really bad, but that's okay. I already have his number.

"You're really stubborn, didn't you understand anything I said?"

I held my breath. I didn't notice that mommy was behind me.

"Tell that La Torre to come to the house, I want to meet him. He's the only one I'm going to talk to, I'm going to tell him because you're disobeying me. You're not even listening to what I say."

What the hell!

Third Person's Pov

"Let's talk."

Dwayne couldn't continue climbing the stairs because he heard his father's scary voice, but he wasn't afraid of it.

'Why did I come home here?' he thought. He looked at his father, he had just arrived and unfortunately he caught up with him.

"Go, say what you want to say. I'm worthless, I haven't done anything right, I have a headache, I can't help the family, I only give trouble. Is that what you're going to tell me again?" he said. He is well aware of the hurtful words coming out from his family.

"I know your grandfather told you, we'll talk about something else." it said. He walked to the back of their house. He didn't want to follow. "It's about Via Kaye Bermudez. Your sister's best friend."

"What about her?" he said indifferently. He wasn't interested in what they were talking about.

"Leave her alone Dwayne."

Dwayne raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"Someone said that you are always with her. I have already spoken to her parents. Your grandfather also saw Via in the hospital, what is going on between you?"

"Nothing." he answered quickly.

"Why are you always together? We don't want anyone to feel sorry for your work Dwayne. You still have the last name La Torre!" He sensed Dwayne. "I wish you had changed my last name before if you didn't want me to be a La Torre." he said.

"What?" his father said with a frown.

"Aren't I just a problem for you? Why don't we change my last name, so that the name La Torre will not be associated with my bad deeds." He said annoyed. His voice also rose.

"Dwayne! Talk nicely."

He closed his eyes. Here is his mother again, siding with his father again.

"I'm talking nicely." he said to his mommy who came to them. "And one more thing, if you don't accept me either, and you're ashamed of me, I hope you don't let me go!"

His mother gave him a hard slap. "Dwayne Maverick!" he exclaimed angrily.

He swallowed. He turned his back on them but before he left he said something to them. "Tell the Bermudez that they are talking about their daughter Via because she is next in line to me." he said coldly and left completely. He preferred to leave the mansion.

Soya took a deep breath and called someone.

"Hey cousin, have you been summoned?" Neiji asked.

"Where are you?"

"Here at the resort."

"I'm going there." he said. He will stay there for now. When he arrived at the resort, people and staff recognized him, as DM of course because no one knew who he really was.

"Excuse me everyone! I'm spry, but I'm not allowed to take pictures. Let's respect my cou friend DM. You know he doesn't like to take pictures." he said to the people who were about to approach me. We went to the VIP room. "So it's a miracle that you went for a walk here, you didn't even set foot here in the resort or even in the hotel."

"I want to go for a walk sometime."

"Let me guess, is there a problem with you guys again? Or is there a problem with abuelo?"

Dwayne smiled. "Both."

"What happened again?"

"Nothing..." he sighed. "Just get us something to drink. We two haven't had a drink in a while. Call Lance and send him over."

"That person is busy. Abuelo has a lot of orders. You know he has to be quiet so he might hear something. I'll get something to drink."

Dwayne leaned back in his seat. He looked around. He stood up and approached a large photograph hanging there. Picture of her and her grandmother Ingrid. He was still a baby at that time and his grandmother carried him.

He caressed the picture. He misses his grandmother very much.

Dwayne groaned and grabbed his head.

"D*mn, hangover." he complained. He got up and left the room. He caught his cousin Neiji having coffee.

"So how's your head?" he asked.

He didn't answer it. It's obvious from his look that he asked. "D*mn that alcohol."

His cousin laughed. "You really blamed the alcohol. You've had a lot, you're the only one drinking."

"Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be touring the entire resort now?"

"I ordered my assistant. How is your wound?" he asked.

Dwayne's gaze dropped and he blushed because his wound was bleeding. "I need to heal first." he says. His cousin stood up and took the emergency kit.

"Are you going back to the mansion now? Let's go together."

"What am I going to do there?"

"It's thursday."

"When was the last time I attended a family dinner?"

"Can't you attend today?"

"Thanks. Never."

"When will the La Torres be fixed?"

"It's fine, I'm really the only problem, causing a lot of trouble."

"Dwayne." Neiji said and he just sighed. "The company is in trouble now."

"When has the company never been in trouble? "It's about drugs. Our family is now involved."

"Is it because of me?"

"What?"

"It's about drugs, I'm definitely the one to blame." Dwayne said and shook his head "It's Dwayne."

"It's okay with me, I'm used to it, that I'm the root of everything." "After this I'm leaving. I have a race the next day, I have to go back to Canada."

"Good luck with your game."

Dwayne smiled and patted his cousin's shoulder. "Thanks, if you have time watch it on the internet."

"If only you knew I watched every race of yours."

Dwayne couldn't believe it, because he thought no one was watching his race except his sister Maxene and cousin Savory.

Dwayne thought of going home to his apartment first. Maybe Via won't go there, maybe they already told her. It's better for him to be quiet, he doesn't want to be disturbed.

"I thought you wouldn't come home here." said aunt Ysay who caught her cleaning.

"Is that possible. I love this apartment of mine. I will come back and come back here." he said smiling.

"Via came here a while ago, she left because you weren't here."

Dwayne gasped. Good thing they didn't reach out. He just told aunt Ysay that when Via comes back, she should tell him that she is in another country.

"What's the plan boss Marlon?" I asked my boss who had been waiting for me. He really meant to come to see her late.

"I want you to enter the company of the La Torres." his boss ordered.

He frowned.

"I want you to plant drugs in Erick La Torre's office."

Dwayne didn't speak.

"I want the La Torres to fall, especially Erick. "What happened to Erick La Torre's wedding?" he asked even though he already knew what the real reason was. But he prefers that Marlon tell him that himself.

Marlon Suarez talked about what happened then. That's about Dwayne's father and husband Hari. Dwayne wasn't interested in hearing about their past.

"Will you do as I command DM?" he asked.

"Of course." Dwayne replied with a smile.

"Later you will meet my son." he said.

'I know him well, he's good. Your whole clan is known.' said Dwayne in his mind Marlon Suarez grabbed Dwayne's shoulder. "I hope you succeed in what you do, I hope you can do my order because you have a prize from me when you do my order to you."

'Who is he talking about?'

"Fuck!" Leon cursed. He looked at me in disbelief. "You work for a drug lord Marlon Suarez? Are you kidding me DM?" he asked. Because it doesn't know that's my sideline.

"Lower your voice." I said because we were in a public place.

"Goodness Dwayne, why don't you just drop him off at the police. Don't wait until you go to jail."

"Relax, I'm not going to jail."

"Dwayne, he's fighting your family. Don't tell me you'll follow Suarez's orders? And they're family friends of yours, aren't they? What if he finds out you're a La Torre and you're the one he knocked down "I smiled. "Chill dude."

"Why don't you seem scared or something?"

"I'm not scared. Why should I be scared? You know me Leon, I don't hold back."

"You are rich, you get a lot of money, but why do you have to enter this kind of job? I thought your only opponents were the ones you played at the casino, but because you entered the designated job, you are sure to bump into a lot of people, especially Kendrick is your brother."

I just sighed. No one knows about Kendrick's work besides Cyrus and me and other acquaintances.

"Are you going to fight your brother Dwayne?"

"Of course not." I said. I patted my friend on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I can handle it myself." I said. I looked up at a woman approaching us.

"Hi Dwayne, how are you?" She asked me I couldn't help but watch him. Why does he seem so different now? He lost weight, his eyes were deep, It was obvious that he had not rested for several days. She is no longer the Fevy I know.

"I'm good." I said seriously.

She smiled, a smile that has no life. "That's good. It's nice to see you again."

I just nodded.

"I-if you have a time, can we talk?"

"Well sorry, Leon and I still have a long way to go." I looked at Leon. "Isn't it? We have somewhere else to go." I said.

He frowned as I secretly widened his eyes so he nodded and looked at Fevy. "Yes we have somewhere else to go."

"Is that so, but if you have time call me, I just want to talk to you."

"All right." I blew out air. "We're leaving." I said goodbye and patted Leon. I stepped forward and passed Fevy. Actually, we're not really going anywhere, I just don't want to talk. I heard everything he wanted to say, what else are we going to talk about?

"Don't you want to talk to him? You know he has something important to say." said Leon.

"She just wants to apologize, I already heard her thousand apologies." I adjusted my hat and put on the mask because we were in a crowded place.

"Where are we going?"

"Where else? Aren't we going back to Canada?"

"Didn't I say the race is off?"

"I know, they already called me."

"Let's not go back, let's go here first. I'm tired of the view in other countries. I miss the Philippines so I hired someone to tour us.

"Who." He pointed at someone.

What the! Seriously? Why him?!

"Hi Leon!" greeted the person Leon was talking about enthusiastically. She smiled sweetly at me. "How are you DM?" she asked.

Via Kaye Bermudez! Why him again? I thought I would be calm. Didn't they say this? "Of all the people you can hire, he's the one." I whispered to Leon.

"He's the only one available." it was also said in a whisper.

"So where do we start?" Via asked.

"Don't you have school?"

It shook its head. "It's sunday Dwayne."

Shocks! Yes it is. It's unlucky
