45 A Goodbye 

KATALEYA

I ran down the stairs quickly before Mama caught me listening, my tears spilling down my cheeks. Why did Enrique hate me so much? Was it because his papa took his hand off because of me?

I clamped my hand over my mouth, rounding the corner as I stifled a sob, only to knock into Daddy and almost fall back. I got to my feet, ready to run away when he caught hold of my arms, kneeling down in front of me.

“What’s wrong, princess?”

I shook my head, flinging my arms around his neck and sobbing into his arms. He picked me up and I clung to him. I know Dante calls me a baby when Daddy carries me, but I’m sad.

“It’s going to be f*****g ok.” He stroked my hair, and I closed my eyes, inhaling his smell.” Tell me what happened?”

Safe. I was safe with Daddy.

I slowly moved back, staring at him, I needed to be brave and strong.

“Nothing Daddy, I’m a brave girl.” I whispered, brushing away my tears with one hand. “My girl is f*****g brave. Always remember that.” I nodded, playing with the chains around his neck

“Yes. I will.”

And I will talk to Enrique, even if he doesn’t want to talk to me, I will make him see me because this was my last chance to thank him and say goodbye. Forever.

Dinner was over, everyone usually went to the living room and Enrique would go to his room, not wanting to spend time with us.

Rayhan was still angry, over what happened earlier with Leo I think, so everyone was very quiet. I pretended to play in the playroom with Sky, Sienna, and Ahren, but I could hear Uncle Marcel asking Enrique about Puerto Rico in the entrance hall, that’s where Enrique was from.

I took the chance to sneak away when Clara wasn’t looking. They never noticed when I snuck away because they couldn’t hear me. I needed to go before Enrique. I quietly made my way upstairs and hurried to my room to grab the present I had made him; I then ran down the hall and slipped into Enrique’s room before he came up. Otherwise, the guards would find out I was there. They only guarded the room when Enrique was in it.

I looked around the room, panicking. Where do I hide? I didn’t ask Mama about talking to him because I heard what he said earlier. If I was stubborn and said I wanted to talk to him, it would only hurt Mama even more because she would stay with me, and I know Enrique was
