The Criminal Diaries: Chapter 35. Unsolicited Advice and Doubts
January 14, 2026 at 7:00 AM
Hello, my sweet estrellitas! Let’s talk about Chapter 35of my book “The Criminal Diaries”, which, to your disappointment or happiness, is definitely not ending soon. Our beauty, who magically avoided being roasted on a spit thanks to a sudden surge of unexpected nobility, still has to spend time in the apartment of the antagonist’s former accomplice. The man who continues amazingly to evade the police, even though they are literally searching for him in every mouse hole. But today is the day when the bird can finally leave the cage and fly high. When she can get the freedom she was deprived of by force. The girl jumps with joy up to the ceiling (literally), but she has no idea how she is going to show up for her friends, her grandma, and her boyfriend as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, the co-lead characters and the grandma themselves seriously begin to wonder if she really died for the first time in a while after the policeman's words about their friend, who has not been found yet – neither alive nor dead. Now, even the men who clearly saw how their friend “died” start to doubt if what they were shown was the real picture of events. Little by little, they begin to feel more alive and bring back the ability to use their brains and think more broadly…
As for the lead male character, he is not going to believe in these miracles at all and continues to drown his pain with a lot of alcohol, in the company of his hallucination. And, just like it always happens, when you desperately want everyone to leave you alone, every single person suddenly thinks they should approach you, give you some unsolicited advice, and deliver a lecture, pretending to be some kind of life-experienced psychologist. It makes you want not just to snap and start yelling, but to punch someone in the face. But that would be wrong. It would lead to serious trouble. Especially when there are so many witnesses around who definitely won’t close their eyes to someone who violates public order. So, the man has to gag himself and tightly tie his own hands and feet in his mind to avoid getting even more problems than he already has now, at this moment.
Thank you for your attention! Have a nice day!
Love, Estrella Rose.
