Four or Dead

Chapter 88

Angel

"Look, I can't call Mr. Alekos except for an emergency. He doesn't like to be disturbed while he is working. Besides, I might get in trouble."

Cherry might be frank with me, but if I don't speak with Alekos..... A lump forms in my throat, and I swallow hard. "This is an emergency. Mr

Alekos is the only one who can help me!" My voice cracks, and my vision becomes blurry. I don't usually cry in front of other people, but I might do it right now

Cherry looks at me, and something flickers in her gaze-pity. "What did he do? Got you pregnant? If that is the case, it is best to talk to his lawyer." She hands me a business card. Written in big, golden letters is the name of a law firm

Staring at the card in my hands, I contemplate what will happen if I do say I am pregnant. Not that it was possible since Carlos never touched me, and the last time I saw Alekos was on his last day of high school-we didn't speak that day since we were mad at each other. While I do have friends, I don't dare to ask them to help me. But Alekos, if he is still the same as in high school, will be my ticket out of the city, or so I hope.

With tears still pooling in my eyes, I lie. "Yes. I am expecting his baby, and I am not going away until I speak with him.”

Cherry sighs dramatically before picking up the phone. "Mr. Alekos, a woman is looking for you. She says she is pregnant."

"Who?" Alekos yells so loudly that even I can hear him

Cherry winches. "She told me her name is Angelica Hernandez."

"T don't know any woman that goes by the name Angelica." His cold, flat tone gives me the impression that he is not lying. The bastard forgot me. But I'll be damned if I leave without talking to him

"Whoever she is, get rid of her. Call security if you have to," Alekos growls

"Yes, Mr. Raptou."
