The Casa Del Castaneda

Unstabbed

Paloma stared fixedly at Sebastian. The man nodded politely, as a sign that he had allowed the beautiful woman to leave. Paloma who was about to say something, finally undo it. He immediately closed the window, along with the car that drove slowly leaving the Casa del Castaneda courtyard.

Sebastian was stunned for a moment while staring at Paloma's departure, until he realized that Elazar was waiting for him inside. The handsome widower turned his back. The handsome man stepped gallantly towards the living room.

In a spacious room with all the luxurious ornaments and the typical atmosphere of the plantation house, Elazar was impatiently waiting for the host. His sour roar instantly turned bright, upon seeing Sebastian had appeared there. Elazar stood up, when welcoming the owner of the magnificent white building came over.

“What's important, Elazar?” sebastian asks, inviting Tatiana's ex-husband to sit down.

“I just had a meeting with Mr. Amoroso Barbossa. Do you know him, Sebastian?” Instead of answering Sebastian's question, Elazar asked back.

“Amoroso Barbossa? The textile entrepreneur?” Sebastian raises his eyebrows. “I don't know the businessman very well. What's wrong?”

Elazar took out a cigarette. He even offered Sebastian. The owner of Casa del Castaneda refused. Elazar immediately ignited a stick, then sucked it.

“Amoroso Barbossa's textile company is in big trouble. Soon, it may be declared bankruptcy,” explained the ex-husband Tatiana.

“Then? What's the problem with me?” sebastian asked, squinting his eyes. A moment later, the owner of thousands of hectares of olive plantations seemed to capture the implied intent of the Elazar narrative earlier.

“Ah, no!” reject Sebastian. “I won't lend any money to someone I don't know,” insists the man who looks more charming at his mature age.

Elazar chuckled after hearing Sebastian's words. He threw cigarette ash into the ashtray. The man with the age and posture of Rafael Hernandez, sipped a drink that the waiter had served him.

“Of course not, Sebastian,”, said the gray-eyed man, returning to smoke a long cigarette.

“Then?” sebastian asked again to raise his eyebrows.

“Begini,” said Elazar starting the explanation that will be given to Sebastian. “Amoroso Barbossa is on good terms with me. I know very well what his current economic condition is. He plans to sell the company. Amoroso asked me to be an intermediary, because he thought I had a wide network of friends,” explained Elazar.

“Connecting that the company is in the Porcuna area, so before I offer it to anyone else I offer it to you first. Who knows if you're interested in buying it" Elazar said.

“Gosh.” Sebastian clucked slowly. “I'd rather take care of the plantation than the company,” Sebastian said lightly.

“Ah, I expected you'd say that. However, there's no harm in me trying to offer you.” Elazar again smoked the cigarette he had placed on the ashtray. “If you're willing to buy it, I'll make sure the company won't make you lose. The reason, physical buildings are in a very strategic region,” said Elazar again half persuaded.

Sebastian took a deep breath. He scratched his forehead, but said nothing more. The handsome forty-year-old man, even turned the topic of their conversation to another problem.

The small talk kept flowing. The two men even talked about Paloma. After hearing the name of the beautiful widow, Sebastian again remembered that he had to make an appointment with Abelardo.

After Elazar said goodbye, Sebastian rushed to the study. He wanted to contact his old friend there. However, Sebastian was disturbed when he saw Leandra who was sound asleep on the sofa. The woman didn't even notice when Sebastian walked into the room.

Because it was uncomfortable to see Leandra's sponge skirt that rose to show most of her smooth thighs, Sebastian decided to come out again from the room nuanced red heart. He chose to go to his private room. After all, it was already late afternoon.

“What's up, Sebastian?” ask Abelardo, after the call is connected.

“Are you busy?” Sebastian asked back.

“Not really. I just got home. Today, my wife cooks special. Usually, he would want something if it was this good.” Abelardo let out a crisp laugh at his words.

“So, what's up?” ask the police chief to make sure.

“Nothing serious. I just want you to take a minute,” Sebastian said.

“Gosh, sorry,” said Sebastian's old friend. “I'll move rooms. A minute.” Abelardo doesn't talk anymore. However, Sebastian can still hear strange noises. It seemed, the police chief was walking with half a run.

“Sebastian? Are you still there?” ask Abelardo back to the phone.

“Yes. How?” ask Sebastian to respond.

“You said what earlier?” ask Abelardo.

“I want you to spend some time tomorrow or the day after,” Sebastian said.

“What's wrong? Is there something you want to talk about?” ask Abelardo again.

“Not me, but Mrs Paloma Hernandez,” Sebastian replied. “He came to Casa del Castaneda, then asked me to bring you together with him. I don't know for what, but ...”

“Tomorrow at noon, because the day after I have an important event,” between Abelardo. “Come to the office at ten in the morning.”

After getting an agreement on the time. Sebastian ended the call. He contacted Paloma. Rafael's widow sounded very enthusiastic, as Abelardo was willing to take the time to meet her.

Next day.

Still using a rented car, Paloma went to the police station where Abelardo was on duty. Sebastian came first. He was waiting for her at the entrance of the building.

“Have you been waiting a long time?” paloma asked badly.

“Not really. I just came,” Sebastian replied while showing off a charming smile.

“Where is your fierce personal bodyguard?” ask Paloma again.

“You mean Leandra?” Sebastian asked, then laughed softly. “I forbid him to come,” Sebastian explained briefly.

“Oh." Paloma also responded briefly, before turning his attention to the police officers who approached them hurriedly.

“Excuse me, Mrs Hernandez and Mr Castaneda?” the police are doubtful. It was only after Paloma and Sebastian nodded that the policeman smiled kindly. “Inspector of Lujan Police has been waiting for the two of you in his room,” explained the man as he directed Paloma and Sebastian towards the room Abelardo.

The police chief who was the same age as Sebastian immediately stood up when he welcomed Paloma. “How are you, Mrs Hernandez?” abelardo asked as he greeted the woman.

“Not good, Inspector. It's been days I've been waiting for news from you. But until now I have not got anything. I've even tried to contact you many times, but it always fails,” complained Paloma exasperated. He immediately brought out his uncles to Abelardo.

"Are you deliberately avoiding responsibility and obligation to expose my husband's death?” paloma ketus.

The friendly face bolt that Abelardo had shown, faded away instantly. The man's expression turned serious. His gaze was fixed on Paloma. “Be careful when talking to a legal deterrent, Madam! You have made serious accusations against me,” Abelardo said. He was against Paloma's harsh attitude towards her.

However, Paloma was not afraid at all. He even raised his chin with a look of disdain. “Then? In that case, explain to me why you are so hard to contact?” challenge the beautiful widow.

“Control yourself, Paloma,” Sebastian whispered. He can catch the look of dislike from Abelardo's face.

“Kute once again to you, Mrs Hernandez!" abelardo again. "I'd be much more appreciative, if you could be polite to law enforcement officers! Should I remind you that you're just a newcomer here? You are not a Spanish citizen. It could be that your visa is coming to an end" Abelardo said.

"Be aware, just by clicking my finger, then I can contact the immigration officer and ask them to expel you out of this country!” threaten Abelardo, who immediately made Paloma unable to wart anymore.
