felt someone’s fingers wrapped around my arm.

“Julio… what is it that you want?”

“She’s my daughter, I’m the one who will take her home, Sebastian…” he was

now in front of me and wearing a fake smile, his voice sounding ingratiating.

And as he was talking, he extended his arm to take Celine from my me, but I
