Revenge And Desire of The Mafia
32. Suspicions

Black returns to the hotel after doing his duty to execute the traitor in his group. His emotions were still hunting when he arrived at the hotel. But when in front of the door of his room, he tried to calm down so that Eryn did not suspect him.

Black opens the door with his card and enters the room. Eryn was sleeping in bed. Black smiled at the woman who had fallen asleep so peacefully.

He immediately went to the bathroom and cleaned himself up. He flushed his body under the shower with his mind floating everywhere. He was still thinking about what the traitor had said before he died.

"One more time, sir. I'm not the one who committed all of that cheating. I ... framed..."

That was the sentence that the person said before his breathing finally came to a halt.

Black came out of the bathroom and changed into a t-shirt and shorts. He got into bed and hugged Eryn.

"Hmm?" Eryn opened his eyes slightly as he felt something wrapped around his body.

"Sleep again! I'm sorry I woke you up." Black kissed the top of Eryn's head then tried to close his eyes.

The next day, Eryn awakens from his sleep and does not find Black at his side.

"He's up?" Eryn frowned then got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

He saw the note that Black put on the bathroom door.

"Dear, sorry I left you. I'm waiting at the hotel restaurant for breakfast together."

That's how the note Black wrote. Eryn opened the bathroom door and cleaned himself.

After cleaning, Eryn will put his dirty clothes in the basket. But his eyes were fixed on Black's suit which seemed to be the man wearing last night.

There was a strange smell coming from Black's shirt. Eryn took the black shirt and sharpened his sense of smell.

"Like the smell of blood" murmured Eryn. He felt the part that seemed a bit dirty. He rubbed the part and made sure it was blood.

"What really happened last night?"

Eryn put back Black's shirt and immediately prepared to meet the man. Eryn's sure something's wrong here.

Eryn comes out of the room and intends to meet Black at the hotel restaurant downstairs. He was walking towards the elevator. But his steps came to a halt when he saw someone he seemed to recognize.

"Isn't that Enrique? What's he doing here?" muttered Eryn while looking at Enrique who was talking to someone on the phone.

Eryn shook his head slowly then continued his steps. In the elevator, Eryn thought again.

"Why should he hide when talking on the phone? Is there something he's keeping from El?" Eryn was still at war with his conjecture.

Black was sitting in conversation with Carlos when Eryn began to enter the resto area. Black codes Carlos and the chat stops.

Black waved at Eryn and welcomed the arrival of his woman.

"August, baby. I'm sorry I left you first." Black stood up and as usual greeted Eryn with a friendly kiss.

Now they are used to making out in public.

"Sit down! What do you want to eat?" black asked attentively.

"Umm, garlic bread only. And a glass of milk."

"alright. The waiter!" Black calls the waiter and Eryn's order arrives shortly.

The woman ate it well. Black watched with a smile etched on his lips.

"How was yesterday with Rose?" ask Black.

"Greats. It's exciting! Rose even gave me some famous designer dresses" Eryn told me.

"It's good if you're happy. There are still a few hours left before we fly to Sicily. Where do you want to go? Shopping maybe? Carlos will accompany you" asked Black.

Getting an offer from Black made Eryn think of something.

"It seems like it's my chance to find out what's going on," inner Eryn.

"May, I'll go shopping" Eryn replied smiling.

While Carlos could only sigh. Eryn could see that. There is a compulsion in Carlos.

From a distance, a familiar person in Eryn's eyes was walking towards their table.

"That's right...?"

"Hello, how are you, man?" The man patted Black on the shoulder.

"Hey, Luiz. Have you arrived?" ask Black.

"Of course, go ahead" replied Eryn.

"Hello, Miss. I didn't expect to see you here. Last time you left your job and..."

Black immediately glared at Luiz. Yeah, the guy who just came in is Luiz Fernandez, Black's best friend.

Luiz raised a hand. "okay! I'm sorry, man. It's not my fault I hired your girlfriend. He came to me himself" defended Luiz.

"I'm done. Go, Carlos!" Eryn gulped down his milk and bid farewell to Black and Luiz. Eryn knew Luiz's arrival must not have been a coincidence. Something is going on with the business Black is doing.

...💋💋💋...

Eryn and Carlos arrive at the center of Milan's shopping district. Eryn walked from one store to another. The woman just looked around without buying, so it made Carlos a little upset.

"Miss, didn't you go shopping yesterday with Miss Rose? Why are you shopping again?" asked Carlos who was following Eryn who was choosing a suit for boys.

"This must be good to wear by Noah," said Eryn.

Carlos knows Eryn must be missing Noah.

"Miss..."

"Why hasn't El's men found Noah yet? What's going on, Carlos? Is there something big that makes Noah nowhere to be found?" eryn looked at Carlos.

"Something big what, miss? You mean like Noah was kidnapped? That so?"

"Eitherway. It's possible, right?"

"If your son is kidnapped, they'll call you and ask for ransom. Or want something from Mr. Black. Surely they wouldn't waste it considering Noah was Mr. Black's son."

Eryn. What Carlos said has a point, too.

"Then, what exactly happened last night? Why is El's shirt full of blood?" ask Eryn.

Carlos silence. He didn't want to tell Eryn the truth.

"Tell me, Carlos! I beg! I need to know what's lurking El. Tell me! Maybe I can help you." Eryn pleaded.

"Listen, Miss. If you're not a strong woman, then I don't allow you to hear and understand anything. You know what our job is like."

"I know! And I understand it! So, please say!"

Carlos took a breath. "Alright, Miss. I'll say."

Eryn invites Carlos to talk in a cafe.

"Carlos, did El kill anyone again last night? Who did he kill?" ask Eryn enthusiastically.

"Miss, master Black will not kill for no reason. He only killed traitors. He thinks traitors cannot be forgiven."

"Then, who did he kill last night? And what's the problem?"

"He was one of the workers in the Amigo warehouse of this city. He's already caused losses to the company. That's why..."

"El killed him..." Eryn then bowed.

"Mr Black is suspicious if there's a traitor in our place. But it's still not clear, miss."

Eryn nodded in understanding. He asked Carlos to go back around with him.

Meanwhile, Luiz invites Black to talk to her. There was something Luiz wanted to tell Black.

"What's up, Luiz? I'm sure you must have brought some news," Black said with a serious face.

"Look, Black. Company data has been leaked."

Black clenched his hands.

"Something seems to have broken into him on purpose."

"You found out who did it?" black asked with reddened eyes.

"No, Black. Looks like someone on the inside betrayed you."

"WHAT?!"
