Chapter 40: The Phone Call

Carlos' Point of View:

I was afraid for Achilles. He had gone through a lot in the last few days alone, and what was happening at the moment just made him almost miserable.

This was literally our only hope to find out what really happened without actually asking that old piece of shit. If it were up to me, I would ask him to abandon him and ask his man to torture him till he leaves this Earth, but I knew better than that.

When Stefan came, we both went inside her ward—giving a small reassuring, yet sad smile to Achilles. I could feel that his heart was breaking.

I had never seen him in love. In all these years of our friendship, I had seen him get obsessed with a girl, flirt with a lot of girls, even like some of them, or date them just for the sake of it—but he never fell in love with anyone. Although, he never slept with a lot of girls either, but he did date a few of them just to keep a profile among everyone that he could easily pull girls.
