The guy was probably an a

“Anyone seen Donni?” I asked one of the guys standing outside. 

He pointed towards the back of the mansion. “Yeah, saw him around the coming having a smoke I think.” 

“Thanks” 

Right around the corner stood Donni, indeed leaning against the wall with a cigarette between his lips. “I was already wondering where that dark mist came from, he exhaled with a cloud of smoke. 

Over the years, I had mastered the art of ignoring Donni’s jokes. He had no conscience, which was exactly why I liked him. He started as a neighborhood kid doing small jobs for us, but his blunt mouth had even earned him some respect from Dad, 

His mouth was worse than Gian’s, at times I wanted him to shut up–but somehow our friendship worked. I’d asked him to do stuff, and he would do it 

“I need you to find someone for me,” I said, cutting to the chase. 

Donni raised an eyebrow. Do you have a face?” 

Tll send you a picture.” 

“What do you want me to do with him?” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

JUSE find his location, report it back to me, and then we’ll take care of the rest, I instructed. 

Donni chuckled. “Good. Who am I looking for?” 

“The little kid’s dad,” just saying those words made my skin crawl. It was all too much of a hassle, and if I were aware of that small detail, I would ve chosen any other random maid. 

“The little kid’s dad!” Donni burst into laughter. “Is that the one she went to see when she acted all high and mighty, ordering me to let her out those gates? How do you even cheat on someone in a fake relationship? Crazy” He shook his head 

I rubbed my nose. 

wanting to punch him in his face really badly. My pride had already been hurt bad enough. “Yeah, just find him for me.” 

“Yes, my lord,” Donni bowed, not being able to last a second without trying to be funny 

I opened my mouth, ready to snap back but let it go. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway, 

“You’re still standing here,” he noted. “Anything else you want me to do for you?! 

“Have you heard about what happened with Mikael?” 

“Yeah, one of the guys told me,” Donni replied, tossing his cigarette on the ground. “Can’t believe you walked away without blasting a hole through 

that  .”“”“ 

“How much time would you need to find a buyer who can cover our losses?” I asked, dismissing the second part of his sentence. He had the same mindset as Gian. I often worried my brother and my friend, with the big mouths, wouldn’t make it past thirty. 

“I was already on it. Knew you were gonna ask,” Donni grew a grin on his lips. 

“Thank you.” 

“You done for the day!” Donni asked. 

“Yeah, but I’ll find something to do. Not gonna sit around with Jimena” I admitted, thinking about being forced to share a room with her tonight. I brought myself into this position, and now I had to deal with it. 

“You know, if you want to make this believable, you should spend some time with her, Donni suggested. His tone was serious enough to make me want to listen as he was not joking around this time. “Couples go out on dates, get to know each other. You know, stuff like that.” 

I rolled my eyes. Thanks for your concern,” I said sarcastically. 

“No problem,” Donni replied, grinning. 

knew he was right, I had to play the part, just like Jimena played hers.

I had to get over myself and make it work. 

But how could I make things work with a liar?
