Chapter 303

Elena

With an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach, I looked out of the window as we drove through the familiar Castillo estate. This was what I wanted, right? So why was I freaking out?

I only had to play my cards right, so I could at least see Tiago. All he had to do was give me a name, and maybe that would be enough for my dad to end his one-sided beef with Marvin.Everyone happy.

Why did I even care for that man?He called me so many names, but at the end of the day, he was still my dad.

I looked down at Alex’s missed phone calls and decided to send him a text. The last thing I needed was for him to track my phone or to threaten the Castillo’s. That would not end up well for him.

“Is Marvin even home?” I asked Panther. Me being here was already crazy enough, and I didn’t want to overstep boundaries.

“Yes, he has yet to return to his duties.” Panther spoke.

“Which are?”

Panther stopped the car and rolled his eyes as he looked at me. I know what he was thinking. I wasn’t exactly in any position to ask questions. “The DEA agent’s daughter is asking me about the Castillo’s duties.” Panther whispered. “This is crazy.”

“Sorry.” I looked down, embarrassed, before getting out of the car. Before I could get to my luggage, Panther had already grabbed it for me and led me inside.

“I can’t believe he really kicked you out. Not even Mario is like that.” Panther commented. So apparently, my dad was a bigger monster than a cartel boss-no big deal.

“Come on.”

“You know what, I’ll just wait outside.” I scratched my head. Panther shot me an annoyed look. “No, you’re coming with me.” He said. “Just work along, please.”

“But Marvin isn’t expecting me, and-”

“Elena?”

Panther and I turned our heads and stared at Marvin. He squinted his eyes and stepped

closer as if he couldn’t believe that I was actually in his

presence.

“Marvin….hey.” I greeted him awkwardly. Marvin mimicked me. “Hey?”

“Is everything okay?” He asked, worried as his eyes moved to the suitcases in Panther’s hands.

“What are you doing here?”

See, he didn’t want me here.

“I uh-”

Panther huffed. “She got into an argument with her dad, and he kicked her out.” He explained At least I didn’t have to do it myself.

I bit my lip, waiting for Marvin’s reaction. The last thing I expected was for him to crack a laugh.Did he think this was funny?
