Hello everyone,
I am back in updating this story. I am sorry for the wait of chapter updates for this. With having consistent work, I couldn't focus on the three stories I was working on. For me, focusing on one story is better for my ideas and the story. I will be updating this story until its conclusion.
I will get through all my stories, including the requests I have accepted. It might take time, but I will get through them all.
Thank you for the reviews on this stories. I hope you enjoy the rest of this story.
Chapter Twenty-five:
AJ sees Alberto and her father have a conversation. They don't notice that she has return as they are talking about Lex.
"So he going to be our guy on the inside. He will report everything we need with the company." Romeo informs him as they mix they dry ingredients together.
"You let him go back to his company." AJ speaks out which startles both of them.
"Oh AJ, how long have you been there?" Romeo asks concern if she heard everything.
"You didn't put him in jail, you just let him go free." AJ can't believe her father would just let him completely off for hurting Alberto.
"No princess, he is helping us to catch the company who is…" Romeo tries to find the words to explain this without revealing the whole situation.
"What your father is trying to say is that we think the company might have something to do with my parents. We think they are involved with their death and disappearance." Alberto continue Romeo's explanation.
"So he is undercover?" She just thought he was after her.
"Not really, more like those people who work at a store as well as give us important information about the company." Romeo answers.
"What is they find out he is doing this?" He doesn't want anyone injured.
"We won't let that happen. Now come, I am going to add milk to the dry ingredients. You can like the spoon afterwards." Romeo offers knowing she won't pass up on that offer.
"Not really more like those people who work at a store as well as give us important information about the company." Romeo answers.
"What if they find out he is doing this?" He doesn't want anyone injured.
"We won't let that happen. Now come, I am going to add milk to the dry ingredients. You can lick the spoon afterwards." Romeo offers knowing she won't pass up on that offer.
"You know I can't resist that." She smiles as she joins in between her two guys.
"So what did Angelle say?" Romeo changes the subject.
"She is happy for me and agrees that you can't be mad at me for keeping it a secret." She sweetly smiles.
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Anything else, you seem very excited about something else." They heard AJ's scream before she came to join them.
"Oh, I was excited that her sister is getting better." She tells him part of the truth.
"That is great, she is coming home soon." He can't wait to have Angelle back in his arms.
"Not really, her sister still needs the doctor's permission to travel." AJ informs him which she already has.
"Oh well that is good." He goes back to mixing upset that she is not coming back yet.
AJ feels bad for not announcing that Angelle is coming to visit next week. She knows that he really does care and loves her. "Don't worry daddy, she will come to visit us soon." She comforts him.
"Thanks."
After another ten minutes, the mac and the cheese is ready. "It smells really delicious, Alberto." AJ smells the aroma.
"Thank you, I think it is best one I have ever made." Alberto is proud of this dish.
"Why?" AJ ponders.
"It is the best because I made it with my family-like people in my life. During this, I feel like being with my parents again." He remembers those times.
"I am glad we can remind you of those moments." Romeo smiles brightly. He may not take kind to Alberto at first, but now he is turning into a son-like son to him.
"Let us dig in."
Sergio watches through the door cautiously to see their moment. He doesn't like his step-son's happy moments with the Mendez family. He has doubts that Alberto can disown him and he won't get any of his money or assets. He needs to stop this immediately.
"Hello." He puts on a cheerful grin.
"Hello, Sergio." Rome greets.
"Hello AJ." He greets with a wicked smile.
"Hello." AJ greets nervously.
"I see my soon made his famous mac and cheese for you two. He is quite the cook my boy is." Sergio pulls him in.
"Yes, he is a fine cook." Romeo agrees. "Would you like some?"
"No thank you, I am full from the food Dawn gave me." He rubs his stomach.
"She is an excellent cook as well."
"I know, but she is not your personal cook." Romeo warns.
"Of course not, however she can be something else personal to me." He smirks.
"What is that supposed to mean?" AJ inquires as she ponders that he is blackmailing Dawn as well.
"Nothing really, just some pictures that she helps me with." He empathizes the word pictures to warn AJ of their agreement.
"Oh I see." She continues to eat not pushing the topic further.
"Son, do you mind coming with me to my room, I need help with something?" He requests.
"What is it?" He wants to stay with them.
"It is a box of your parents' valuables that I need to show you. I forgot that Casey had it when we cleaned up the house before."
"Why would he have those valuables in the first place?" Alberto questions not trusting him fully. He has ideas that he could be involve with his parents' whereabouts.
"I didn't have room in the car, so I put it in his van. We forget about it when we unpacked in the new home."
"I can't we, AJ and I, are going to hang out." Alberto excuses. He doesn't really want to hang out with his step-father.
"AJ, would allow that, wouldn't you AJ?" He asks as he puts on a clever grin.
"Absolutely, Alberto I will be by the pool when you are done." She lets him go not wanting Sergio to release the fake photos.
"Are you sure?" Alberto unsure of her agreement to go with him.
"Yes, he is your father you should help him." She speaks in more confident of her answer.
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as I can." He pecks her on the cheek. "Let us get this over with." Alberto heads out with Sergio following afterwards.
AJ continues to pick at her mac and cheese not hungry anymore.
"He has something over you, doesn't he?" Her father speaks up. He has been quiet through the whole conversation picking up signals and postures. He has been very observant about Sergio actions since that he might be involved in Alberto's investigation.
"No daddy, Alberto should help his father." She dodges the question knowing he will be furious at Sergio. She doesn't want him to kick Sergio out to cause more strain with Alberto. Sergio as might post them online.
"AJ, don't lie to me anymore." She gives him a scornful expression. "Okay, no more lying to each other. What does he have over you?" It doesn't seem fair that she can't lie, but he can.
"I can't tell you." She sadly utters.
"Why not?" He is losing his patience on what it could be.
"If he finds out, he will post them." She declares almost in tears.
"Post what?" He is furious at Sergio for his daughter's current attitude, although concern for his daughter.
"I can't." She runs away to her room.
Romeo stands up and struts with a purpose to the staff house. "Sergio!" He bellows out. The staff stop and watch their boss enter the house with authority. "Sergio, where are you?!" He bellows again.
"Mr. Mendez, what is wrong?" Alberto joins him. He is in the living room looking at pictures and valuables of his parents.
"Where is your father?" He sternly asks.
"He is at the security office. Apparently, Casey has another box that he forgot to give." He rolls his eyes. He doesn't believe that Casey forgot to give them the boxes.
"Where is his bedroom?" Romeo questions not acknowledging anything but Sergio's presence.
"Why?" Alberto wonders what his step-father has done now.
"He has something over AJ. I need to know what it is."
"Wait, what do you mean by that?" He is concern that, that is the reason for her strange behavior earlier.
"He is blackmailing her. Now are you going to help me or not?" He gives him the last chance to help. He is very impatient at this time.
"I will show you." He is quite scared at Romeo's behavior. He wasn't seen someone so pissed off in his life.
They get to the room to figure out that is locked.
"He locks his door." Romeo not thinking that all his doors have locks, especially all the bedrooms.
"Yup, all doors have locks to have for privacy." Alberto mentions.
"Do you know how to pick a lock?" He asks not willingly to do it himself. Plus, he doesn't have a key for the door.
"No sir I don't." He is quite surprise by the topic not knowing if it is a test or not.
"Well, you are going to learn." Romeo takes out a bobby pin.
"Mr. Mendez, how do you know how to do that?" Alberto looks on in amazement at this talent of Romeo.
"I am just like you Alberto as a child. I lived in the same neighbourhood you did. Trust me, I know when and what Lex and Sergio can do." He finally opens the door to head inside. Before they do, Dawn interrupts them curious on their activity.
"Mr. Mendez, what are you doing?" She holds a laundry basket wondering why they are at Sergio's room.
"Ah Dawn, can you distract Sergio, I need to investigate something in his room?" Romeo asks to cover their butts.
"No problem, Mr. Mendez." Dawn complies without objection.
"Does she know?" Alberto inquires still shock of this side of him.
"No, only Rosalie and now you know about my talent. It is also one of the reasons I want AJ here on the property. I know the people out there." They start to search around his room for evidence on AJ's blackmailing.
"You are quite a mystery, Mr. Mendez." Alberto chuckles. He is learning his lesson to never judge rich people again.
"Thanks."
"Hey Dawn." Sergio wraps his arms around her very happy.
"Someone sounds cheery." Dawn turns around starting the load of laundry.
"Are you too busy for some lovin'?" He snuggles into her.
"What if I say I am? What are you going to do?" She turns around.
"I would shut the door and have sex with you on the washing machine." He seductively answers feeling under her shirt.
"And what if I said no I am not?" She challenges sorting out her options.
"I will take you to my room and give you a long, pleasurable break." He retaliates while he kisses her on the neck.
"My options only include having sex, however just in different locations, right?" She raises her next to give him more access.
"Yup, if you don't figure out soon, I will have no choice but pleasure you here and now. I might even torture you for making me wait." He bites on her neck to give her a hickey.
"Ow, here it is then." She pushes him before she jumps on the dryer. Sergio shuts the door before he walks to an already half-naked Dawn.
"Damn, my girl is one smokin' woman." He is flustered by her hotness.
She stops him with her foot. "Lose the clothes so we can take a picture of us together. I want a picture of us when I am alone in bed."
Sergio checks his pocket to notice he forgot his phone in his bedroom. "Shoot, I forgot my phone." He thumps his forehead.
"It is okay, I have mine." She reaches over to grab her phone on the shelf.
"Great." Sergio strips completely naked. Dawn takes a picture of him before he comes closer. Afterwards, he takes her remaining clothes off before she takes another picture. Next, she puts a hand on his member for another picture. She is stalling him to give Romeo and Alberto more time to search his room. Dawn then finally takes one more picture when Sergio pierces her without warning.
"No more pictures." Sergio grabs the phone.
"Okay, but I was going to record us. If you don't want to never mind." She lays her head on his shoulder to wait for him to start his thrusts.
"No that is fine." Very excited by this, maybe he could use this later for more blackmailing. He hands her back the phone. She smirks as she places it back on the shelf before she presses record. She can use this for some payback.
"Did you find anything yet?" Romeo asks.
"Yah." He looks at some documents in a box underneath the bed.
"What is… what is wrong, Alberto?" Romeo joins him to find that Alberto is holding images and police files on not only him, but his parents.
"Oh Alberto, I am so sorry." He looks at the picture of his father all bloody.
"It is okay, now I know he is official involved." He tries to stay strong. "Come on we still need to find what he is blackmailing AJ with." He continues the search. Romeo continues to look through the documents to find out that there are also pictures of him at school with baby AJ.
"Mr. Mendez, I think I found out what he is blackmailing AJ with.
Romeo put everything in the same place, not to alarm Sergio, before joining Alberto. He shows him pictures, on Sergio's phone, of AJ touching Sergio in private places, her on her knees with her mouth on his member, and both of them naked. "AJ would never do that." He already knows these are fake.
"Do you think so?" Alberto has some doubts.
"I am certain, trust me." He puts the phone back. "If you want to make it sure, send those pictures to your phone so we can ask her later." Romeo suggests.
"He will know we have them." He is still afraid of his father's actions.
"He won't, give me the phone." Romeo sends the pictures to Alberto and then deletes the conversation. "There let's go."
They exit carefully to see no one is in the hall. They quietly get to the stairs to have Dawn and Sergio at the bottom.
"I will send you those pictures later." She pecks him.
"You better only send them to me, I don't want anyone to see you like that." Sergio forbids.
"Of course." Dawn goes back to her job while Sergio heads back to room. He passes Romeo and Alberto who are in the closet beside the bathroom. When Sergio closes the door, they quietly sneak out of the house.
"My father and Dawn, gross." Alberto shakes the images out of his head.
"I know, but she is happy." Romeo replies back.
"You know." He nods. "How?"
"I found Dawn on her knees pleasuring him before; it gave me shivers for a day." He shakes his head to get rid of the image.
"Maybe that is the real reason why Dawn was limping before." Alberto mentions.
"Limping, when was she limping?" He hasn't notice her ever limping.
"I don't know AJ just saw her limping one time. Dawn excuses that she just pulled something when she was exercising."
"When does she exercise at… oh my, we need disinfect the gym." Rome is disgusted.
"What do… oh, eww." He figures out the real reason.
"Yup, let us go to AJ."
