Chapter 250: Moving On
The day after Alex and Isabella slept together, the man awoke to find that the young woman was still clinging to him, almost as if she were afraid that the moment she let go, she would lose him forever. And thus, Alex had some difficulty climbing out of bed.
But eventually Alex broke away from Isabella’s embrace, where she awoke and found herself pouting. Alex had so rudely broken away from her grasp, and she had to make him feel bad for it. Thus she sat silently in bed pouting at Alex until the man finally sighed and lectured her on her behavior.
“If you think you are going to shame me into climbing back into bed with you, you are sorely mistaken... Get dressed. Breakfast is probably already waiting for us...”
Isabella did not bother resisting orders from her new lover, and quickly did as he said before following him out of “their” room, and towards the dining hall where they found La Madre and Maria waiting for them.
Maria appeared to be in a foul mood, far more than she had been when she found out Alex was a murderer. But she wasn’t angry with Alex this time around. Rather, her scornful gaze landed itself upon the young vixen clinging to the man.
By now Alex had enough experience with women to know that Maria was jealous, and thus, he shamefully sat down, and ordered Isabella to sit in his lap, which she was happy to do so. Once the two of them were seated, Alex goaded Maria on with his words.
“I slept better last night than I have in weeks. How about you, Maria? How did you sleep?”
Maria’s pretty mouth dropped as she witnessed the shamelessness of the man sitting in front of her. This was an expression that caused Isabella to laugh as she clung tightly to Alex’s broad chest and reveled in her victory.
“What’s the matter? Did you not sleep well? Perhaps something load and intense kept you up? I don’t know what that could be. By the time Alex and I were done with our little exercise, I was so exhausted that I basically just passed out!”
Ever since Alex made off with Isabella, Nina had been fearful that she may have exposed herself, and thus hid away in her dorm room, not even daring to open the shades in fear of the idea that someone might be waiting outside for the slightest signal that she was indeed present in her dorm room.
Although her skills with computers were sublime, her paranoia kept reminding her that there was a possibility that she had left behind some evidence of her identity while hacking into the Cartel’s security systems.
Thus, the girl snacked on a microwavable breakfast burrito, while getting on her computer and checking on the ongoing situation between the Zetas and Jalisco. Which revealed that nothing interesting had transpired since Isabella’s “kidnapping.”
With a heavy sigh, Nina logged off of her account, which went by the username of “Redacted”, and went back to bed, wishing the day would go by as quickly as possible.

While Nina lived in fear for her life holed up in her dorm room. Carmen was busy preparing with the DEA Task Force sent into Mexico with the purpose of taking down Jalisco. After all, the CJNG had suffered repeated and heavy losses by the Zetas since Alex first got involved in the drug war, and the United States government saw this as an opportunity to press the cartel while it was on its back foot.
Carmen was sipping from a cup of coffee. There was a stoic expression on her otherwise beautiful face as she struggled to get through the operations briefing. One that intended to capture the men in charge of Jalisco’s business.
Naturally, the DEA was aware that the Zetas planned to deal a death blow to Jalisco, and thus they were pressed for time. Because if the Zetas were allowed to wipe out Jalisco, then it would mean open warfare between the last major cartel in the State of Mexico, and the Mexican government itself.
The last thing the United States wanted was for their southern neighbor to become a genuine Narco state. And thus, Carmen was forced to listen to her superiors as they talked about bringing down Jalisco, while aiding the Mexican Military in its attempts to seize control over what remained of Jalisco’s Drug Empire.
