If only he loved me too

Chapter 12: twelve

The moment Lucas utter those words I wheeled myself to Dimitri's room and opened my laptop to

check what he has found. there was a new link in my mailbox and on opening it, there was a criminal

report about a person name X, next page consisted of a photograph of the person with many names,

Peter or Alber or someone along the lines, finally, I found you Peter time to pay the piper.

The photograph was a candid one where he was smoking a cigarette leaning on a car, it was a bit

blurry maybe taken from far away, anyways there are many cases filed against Mr.Unknown and all of

them were somehow closed and none of them were solved. there was extortion, murder, kidnapping,

and drug trafficking. looks like Dimitri got caught in something he shouldn't have, I don't know why

someone like Dimitri would get in contact with someone like him or what did Dimitri do to upset a

criminal like Peter, I need to solve this. I need to find him, I need to know what happened that night? I

need closure, to make my peace I need this for Dimitri.

I called Lucas "What happened to facial testing? did you find any location?" I asked him as I logged into

the national security database, I have put up a lot of firewalls that are saving me from getting arrested

for this felony the jail time for this is a minimum of ten years, well it's not like Price enterprise can't pay

them off, all I need right now is Peter's location and for that, I don't mind going to jail as well, It's not

easy but It's not that difficult as well.

He sighed "It takes around more than 3 months for the location to pop up, Erika, you know that," he

sounds tired and that made guilt shot up within me, I'm so engrossed in finding the truth that I didn't

consider his wellbeing, I'm such a terrible friend.

"I'm sorry, Lucas, I didn't mean to be so impatient with you, I just want to know what happened that

night," I said feeling sad and disappointed in myself, I was so engrossed in finding the murder of my

husband that I haven't considered about the people around me.

"I know, Erika, I know," he said with pity clear in his voice, I didn't want anybody's pity I just want the

truth and as soon as possible.

After a short depressing talk with him, we hung up. Facial recognition may indeed take more than 3

months due to a large population throughout the world so I had to wait, no matter how much it kills me I

had to wait

so, that's what I did

For six months.

Six months, it took six months for us to find X's exact location, that bastard was hiding in Brazil, Rio.

The fucker was right under our nose the entire time and still, we don't know the exact location, we have

to manhunt the person no matter how much time and patience it may take, I have waited for more than

a year that I have been waiting for this moment and finally, it's here.

I was completely healed in those six months, physically at least. My family was worried about my

behavior after the accident, they thought it was PTSD and even got me to go to therapy. I know they

are worried about my wellbeing but I needed space, they keep hovering above me and always

checking up on me which is nice and all but they need to understand that I need closure. they don't This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

know where I went, all they want for me is to make peace with this and they think I'm on a vacation in

Greece, trying to soothe the weeping soul, my broken heart, and my distressed mind.

I know I have turned it into a very unhealthy obsession, and it will stop, I have promised myself I will

stop, eventually at least. that is after I find that son of a bitch and beat the truth out of him after beating

the shit out of him. And when he confessed to his crimes I will make sure he feels every bit of pain my

husband had felt that very moment when he took his last breath. I promised on the grave of the love of

my life that I would avenge him.

Everything we found about him in these six months is that he is a very powerful man, and powerful men

are often dangerous, he is one of the most dangerous mafias in the world and would stop at nothing to

gain what he is after but this time he messed with the wrong family.

With that said I packed my bags and took off to Brazil to find the person responsible for my husband's

murder.

I arrived at The Rio international airport at midnight the summer air was soothing and relaxing but

couldn't melt my frozen heart, John and Lucas were with me they have been my greatest supporters,

they haven't left my side since I could barely walk. I want to bring them with me because I know the risk

but yet, they would not leave me alone not even for a little bit and I'm grateful for them. they care about

me more than I knew

"I've already booked a hotel nearby, we'll rest for now and look for him in the morning," Lucas said

hiking up his duffle bag and I nodded handing out bags to the driver as we drove towards the hotel.

We got changed and had dinner after we reached our hotel, all of us were jetlagged but none of us

were sleeping. we were submerged with the thoughts of tomorrow, we had a plan but none of us were

prepared, we had no experience in this area, not me at least, I have been on the back seat all my life.

all kinds of what if's? Had surrounded me but exhaustion won and I drifted off to another dreamless

night hunting my dreams with the sights on that horrid night, the night that ruined everything for me,

took the love of my life away from me and I couldn't even say him that, I never got to tell him I love him.

The last thing we did together was me throwing divorce papers in his face
