“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

retreated a step in the opposite direction. “She’s not going home with you.
