“I don’t have words.” Mario Castillo shook his head in disapproval.

I knew my dad wouldn’t be happy with the decision to call agent Clover to arrest Danny Hernandez, but I could not let that man walk free any longer.

“Tiago’s wedding is in a few days, and you’re pulling crazy stunts as if getting released from prison wasn’t already enough.” My dad growled out.

“I did what I had to do, and I saved all of those girls, so I don’t care what you think of me.”

“And we were about to throw him to the wolves anyway, so what does it matter?” I chuckled. “The issue has already been taking care of.”

“Yes, and now they know that we have something to do with it!” Victor agreed with my dad. To be honest, I didn’t even know why he was in the conversation. He wasn’t even a real part of the family.

“You?” I laughed, confused. That was one funny statement, considering I had to carry the burden of being a rat. “So everyone can see me like a rat, but they can’t see any of you as a rat?“

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Then what did you mean?” I snapped. Mario Castillo, who always loved a good fight, looked back and forth between Victor and me, but I wasn’t going to fall for it. Not this time.

“Am I free to go? I would like to spend my time with Tiago…my only brother.” I spoke as I looked into Victor’s eyes. Victor barely cracked, but I could see the hurt expression behind his eyes. That’s what I wanted. I wanted to break him. He must’ve felt comfortable because I was locked up, but I was back, and things were going to change.

I would be the head of the family, and Victor should know his place.

“You’re free to go,” Victor gulped. I held my hand in the air to stop him and pulled a disgusted look. “I’m not asking you.”

My dad smacked his hands on the table and laughed as if he was Santa on Christmas eve. “He has chang a lot, hasn’t he?” He laughed at Victor. “I heard he was well-respected in prison.”

I turned around and walked out without giving my dad as much as a single glance. This man was ridiculous, and everyone knew it, except
