"So, you wanted to be Izzy's main caretaker?" Alcaraz asked, arms crossed. "How did you even get out?"

Amalia leaned back in the chair across from her, legs crossed neatly, looking far too comfortable for someone who'd just stepped out of prison. "My release is none of your business," she said. "I'm her only living relative. It's my responsibility now."

Atty. Alcaraz didn't move.

"I want to know where she is," Amalia continued. "I'll be the one taking care of things-medical, legal, estate matters. Everything. Also," she added, pulling a paper from her purse, “I'd like you to represent my daughter Monica. She's still being held for that incident with Cecil Weiss. You'll find the case details attached."

Maria didn't look at the folder. "Is that it?"

"No. I also want to be with Isabella. Twenty-four seven. I want access to her doctors, her schedule, her security. I'll make sure she gets better."

Atty. Alcaraz blinked once, then let out a short laugh. "You're insane."

Amalia frowned.

"You think I'm going to give you access to the same woman you've spent years stealing from?" Alcaraz said. "Do you even hear what you're saying?"

Amalia placed both hands on the armrest and leaned forward. "I knew you'd say that. That's why I came prepared."

She stood, opened her purse, and pulled out her phone. She tapped a number quickly, then held it to her ear.

"Come in," she said.

A few seconds later, the outer office door opened again. Alcaraz's assistant turned from her desk, ready to intercept, but a tall man in a tailored gray suit brushed past her and entered without hesitation.

"Who is this?" Alcaraz asked, watching him.

Amalia turned with a small smile. "This is David Holt. My attorney."
