I turned my back and walked inside as my body shook with anger. How dare she? She had some nerve.

“Hey, you!” Panther leaned against the door, stopping me just as I was about to leave the mansion.

I met his eyes. “Yes?”

“I don’t know what your problem is, but Linda is still the lady of the house-and you’ve just arrived here, so you should show her some respect.”

Once again, I was at a loss for words. It was almost scary how fast he had turned on me. He only hung out with me because I was new and loved, a threat to this household, but now that he knew I wouldn’t let anyone walk over me-I was suddenly an issue.

I hadn’t forgotten about Mario’s indirect warning. This man was dangerous and ever since, something about him bothered me.

“Since you know everything so well, please tell me,” I spoke, not in the mood to entertain him any longer. “Should Marvin’s dog be able to speak this way to Mario Castillo’s son?”

“Y-you,” Panther stuttered through gritted teeth, but I had already shrugged him off and stormed away.

I didn’t want to do this, and I didn’t want to turn my back against the Castillo because of one woman, but I couldn’t take it anymore. Linda’s behavior had me wishing for their downfall.

“Lucas, leaving already?”

I stopped in my steps, hearing Marvin’s voice, and slowly raised my head. Even though I believed for him to be innocent regarding Stevie Madden’s case, he was still a criminal, a murderer, a monster.

George Torres deserved to make pay for his actions. That was what I wanted to believe, but my brother was also someone I shared a bond with.

Next to Mario, the person I connected with the most.

“Did something happen? Do you want to talk about it?” Marvin grabbed my arm to stop me from walking.

Yes, I’m sorry for what I’m about to say-but your mother is a bitch.

“No, I’m fine.” I lied. “Do you want to talk about something?”

“No,” Marvin shrugged. “But I’m your big brother, so it’s my job to look after you…all of you.”

And he was doing a good job. Marvin stood behind Tiago, Karina-but what impressed me the most was the way he cared for Elena.

He loved her. I could see it in his eyes and the way he would rant about her without giving anyone the chance to speak. They seemed so perfect together, but any fool could tell they were doomed for failure.

The daughter of a DEA agent and the son of a cartel boss? Impossible.

At times I wondered whether Mario and mom shared that same connection.

Betraying Mario and my brother so that I could get my revenge felt wrong-but I had no choice. It was Linda’s doing.

Deep down, I wanted to tell him the truth about Linda, but even then, that woman was still his mom, and he would protect her. He seemed like the person to protect anyone he cared about, the same way he had always defended…

Tiago.
