"I've looked into it," he said without preamble. "Stefan's the one who bailed out Sienna. Everything's cleared up now. I'll make sure she's sent back to prison where she belongs."

Relief washed over me, but before I could say anything, Carlos continued, his voice firm. "You should come stay with me, Doris. It's safer there, and you won't have to worry about protecting Cyrus on your own."

I opened my mouth to refuse-staying with Carlos felt like too much-but he cut me off before I could protest. "You can't afford to take on this responsibility alone," he said, his tone serious. "If something goes wrong, and Cyrus is hurt... it's not a risk you should take." He was right. As much as I hated to admit it, I couldn't do this alone. The weight of protecting Cyrus from Sienna was too heavy, and if anything happened to him because I was too stubborn to accept help, I'd never forgive myself.

I hesitated, the words stuck in my throat. "I don't want to impose," I finally whispered, feeling conflicted.

Carlos cut me off gently, his voice firm but understanding. "This isn't about imposing. It's about making sure Cyrus is safe. You can't afford to let anything happen to him, and neither can I."

I paused for a moment, his words hitting me hard. He wasn't wrong, and I knew that refusing his help would be reckless. The thought of Sienna out there, ready to strike again, chilled me to the bone. I had to put my pride aside for Cyrus. Taking a deep breath, I nodded. "You're right. We'll come stay with you." It felt strange admitting that I couldn't handle this alone, but I couldn't let my fears put my son in danger. Chapter 76
