Alexander was in real danger, and that explained part of his desperation, but it didn’t justify wanting to trick her and use her family. Sophia appeared at her side. Val, I got preliminary information. How already? I have a friend who works in a law firm. I made some discreet calls. And Alexander has the name stained since long ago, more than a year.

Several overdue debts, protests, a very complicated history. Anything else? There are lawsuits against him, people collecting money, and it seems that he already had tried to approach other rich families of the region before meeting you. Valentina felt that the blood froze. Other families? Yes. He was engaged with a girl from Denver last year, but her father discovered something and cancelled everything at last minute.

Sophia, are you sure of this? I have the name of the family if you want to investigate more. Then Alexander was a professional scammer. Valentina was not his first victim and probably wouldn’t be the last if he achieved to trick her. Sophia, I need you to do me another favor. Tell me, can you find out who are his creditors? The people to whom he owes money.
