“Elena, did you pack everything?” Marvin stuck his head through the door. I could not even begin to explain the surprise when Marvin practically forced me to pack my suitcases because we were moving.
The surprise didn’t end there because I had nearly lost my balance after Marvin told me that ‘officer’ Lucas was actually Mario’s Castillo’s son. I was not going to lie. That was enough for me to agree to move out as I did not want to get involved with family drama which did absolutely not concern me.
Tiago, on the other hand, was a different case, and I had yet to speak with him. “Yes, I’m ready!” I told Marvin, pushing my suitcases out the door.
I was still trying to wrap my head around this matter and could not believe a family was more dysfunctional than mine. “Wait…before we go…” I stopped in my steps.
Marvin turned around. “

Elena“Okay, everyone out!” I clapped my hands.For some reason, it sounded much cooler when Marvin said it.It was my first morning in the new house, and to show my gratitude, I had decided to do something useful for once and make Marvin breakfast.The maids in the kitchen shot me confused looks, but followed my order either way as they were probably scared to get into trouble with Marvin.It took me some time to gather the ingredients, but before I knew it, I was already busy preparing breakfast. Just when I was about to flip over a pancake, I received a call from Rona.“Yes?” I answered the phone.“Lena, I’m literally about to shoot up this entire place!” Rona shouted. I turned the stove off and put her on speaker.“Wait, what?” I asked, confused. “Calm down.”Rona did the complete opposite a

Marvin“I’m going to tell Elena the truth…all of it,” I told Panther. Even though I would never say it out loud, his opinion mattered to me the most. Yes, he was stupid—but he could be wise when he needed to be.I said I would take my distance from Elena, but that was impossible—especially after living in a house with her. Denying my feelings was not an option anymore, but neither was lying to her. The only thing holding me back from making a move was the lie. She deserved to know the truth.After seeing the breakfast she prepared for me, I could only feel guilty. I rejected her, but she didn’t care. She still went above and beyond to show me how much she cared. All I wanted was to do the same.I didn’t even want to leave her, but Mario Castillo, who thought it would be great to start me off with small errands, had sent me on a task to pay a random visit at some of our sma

MarvinIt took us a lot of kicking and yelling to get there, but I had finally managed to drag the girl to the office of the clubhouse.“P-please don’t kill me. I-I promise you t-t-this is my first time!” She begged for her life, with tears streaming down her face. For a second, I began feeling sorry for her but got back to my senses as I thought about the family business.I was a Castillo.I was a Castillo.I was a Castillo.“Get on your knees, get on your knees!” I forced her to the floor. This wasn’t right. I wasn’t this kind of person. Had it been a male, I would’ve blown his head off without a single hesitation, but I’d always had a soft spot for women. Maybe it was because of my mom, or perhaps it was because of my sister.“What’s your name?”“A-Amelia!” The girl trembled.

ElenaI walked into a completely dark house. Other than the guards on duty, even the maids were asleep, but it was past midnight, so that wasn’t too crazy.Marvin wasn’t at home, which made the house feel even more empty. Although it was too bad, it wasn’t that difficult to get used to—because my dad and Alex had always been workaholics.I made my way to my room and took a deep breath as I fell to the bed. Work was not that tiring, but I couldn’t say the same about Rona. The bar was not doing well, and honestly—it would be shocking if the bar would still be standing at the end of the week.It seemed like rest wasn’t a part of my routine anymore because my next thought went to Marvin. He said he wanted to be honest with me. He asked me to spend the day together—and I still had no idea where all of this was going. Tomorrow would be interesting.Was he going to confess his feelings?

Elena“You look so hot. I’m just seconds away from stealing you from Marvin!” Amelia gushed at the outfit she had picked out for me.After a short afternoon of shopping, Marvin received a phone call from his dad—telling him to get to the mansion as soon as possible. I felt bad enough for emptying his bank account and had no problem going back home.I took a turn and looked at the tight black jumpsuit around my body. My hair was straightened to perfection, and for some reason, I had managed to do it without burning my scalp. Amy wasn’t lying. I was hot, and if I could date myself, I would’ve.“You did a good job, Amy.”“Of course I did!” Amy clapped her hands. “This style looks perfect on you, and I knew it from the moment I saw Marvin’s lock screen!”“Marvin’s lock screen?”“Yes!” Amy smiled. “He&

Elena“My dad…he’s the boss of the Castillo cartel, and I’m…not any better than him.”Shit, he really said it. I looked straight ahead, trying my hardest to control my facial expression.“I'm supposed to take over my dad one day. Our business goes beyond liquor, which is the main reason why we can afford all of this—and I understand that all of this is confusing,” Marvin spoke. The expression on my face must’ve worried him, but Marvin did not know that it was all for a different reason.He ended up telling me the truth, meaning I had to do the same.“I understand that it was wrong for me to lie to you.”I kept quiet and stared into Marvin’s eyes, hoping he would just stop. Marvin, who had failed to read my eyes, was in the process of giving me answers which I had never asked for.“All I wanted was to protec

MarvinElena: I miss you♥️Marvin: I miss me too.Elena: -_-I couldn’t help but laugh at my screen. Ever since making things official, Elena made it a habit to text me every second—but I didn’t mind.“I’m leaving San Diego.” Tiago cleared his throat. I locked my phone and looked at my brother, but for some reason, he didn’t seem to be joking.“What do you mean, you’re leaving?”“I just…” Tiago lowered his head, regret written all over his face. “I can’t believe I almost hurt Elena—and it made me realize that I do need help.”He needed help, there was absolutely no question about that, and I was glad he could realize it. At first, I was against it, but what he had done to Elena was unacceptable.I needed him to ge

Elena“No, mom. I promise you—I’m fine!” Amelia spoke through the phone. I sat on the sofa, eavesdropping on her conversation, and couldn’t help but feel jealous.She appeared to be having some kind of discussion with her mom, which almost reminded me of my dad. How would he be doing?Unfortunately, those were not my concerns anymore. It was the price I had to pay for being with Marvin, and I was willing to pay that price. When I got with Marvin, I knew what I signed up for.When would Marvin be home?He had been working since early in the morning, and I would lie if I said that I didn’t miss him. Although I wasn’t alone, the lack of company in this house was slowly getting to me.“I’m so sorry you had to hear all of that,” Amy spoke, ending her phone call. “It was my mom, and you know how moms get.”No, I don’t—b

ElenaOne week had passed since Lucas confirmed the meeting with Marvin, and today would finally be the day.I had spent the past week in a pool of emotions, constantly wondering how it would go. It could go either way. Marvin could either welcome me with open arms, or he had only agreed to meet me so he could yell at me some more.I dressed up as best as I could, went out of my comfort zone, and pulled out a yellow dress. It used to be my least favorite color until Marvin told me I looked pretty in it.My hair fell over my shoulders in soft waves, and I had put in some effort to put on some makeup.As I checked out my reflection in the hallway mirror one last time, I applied the last layer of lipgloss.“At this rate, your lips might fall off.” The sound of a voice behind me startled me, and I turned, my heart thumping in my chest. It was Dad, standing in the hallway, a faint expression on his face.My anxiety grew as I met his gaze. He was the last person I wanted to find out about m

ElenaThe sun fell perfectly on my skin as I lounged by the poolside in our family yard, with Rona and Victoria by my side.Everything was peaceful, so peaceful I couldn’t even believe it was real. Life had gone back to the way it use to as this was how we used to spend our days in the past.My bond with Dad had improved so much, we hadn’t argued since I had gotten back.Victoria’s voice cut through the peaceful silence. "Do you think I should reply to Victor's text?" A blush reached her cheeks.“I think you should!” Rona who had been informed about everything told her.It was quite amusing, considering Victoria had insisted I stay away from Marvin and it had even impacted our friendship. Now she was the one after the bad guy.Still, I couldn’t help but feel happy for her. She deserved this happiness, this chance at love.The two matched each other perfectly. They were both bossy and stubborn and almost shared the same name.My mind involuntarily wandered back to Marvin. His curious e

MarvinI was in Lucas’ car, on the way back to the Castillo estate. We had already been driving for a long time, an uncomfortable vibe swinging in the air as no one knew what to say. Each second stretched into minutes, and eventually into hours.The only noise was the sound of the radio.How could I say something, when I had yet to process everything? In a span of 24 hours, I was forced to make a decision and lost someone who I thought was my friend.My brother betrayed me.I had lost Elena.There was nothing to say.“Tiago, as far as everyone’s concerned, you didn't see anything today, and nothing happened today. ” I instructed, my voice cutting through the suffocating silence. As Tiago had already revealed, he didn’t always use his brains. “You saw nothing, you know nothing.”Tiago remained silent as I continued. “And you keep this from our father, Tiago. He must never find out...that you betrayed me.” The words almost made me chuckle. “I will deal with it. I’ll tell him that Panthe

MarvinEverything seemed foggy…It felt as if I was viewing the world through an underwater lens. That’s right, the car had just crashed. I blinked my eyes through the pain, and crawled away, groaning.There was no time for pain. The adrenaline pumped through my veins, bringing me back to reality. With heavy breaths and a ragged pulse drumming in my ears, I managed to get out of the car.My first instinct was to go to my brother, who was thrown out of the car. “Are you okay? Can you move?” I asked Tiago, who had luckily remained unharmed.He nodded his head, his eyes wide open as he took in the scene. With the car almost being on the edge of the cliff, we had barely survived. Did he want to take us all down with him?My head turned once I heard a groan, and there he was—Panther, semi-conscious, trying to pull himself together.A flicker of satisfaction went through my body. Good, I wanted him awake for this.“Let me give you a hand.” I dragged him out of the wreckage. His body seemed

MarvinWe were on our way back. Panther sat in the front passenger seat, Tiago in the back.As we were about halfway, there was an unspoken tension, and it was a good thing there was. By now, they were allowed to notice that I wasn’t in the mood at allIt smelled of treachery.Stopping at a stop sign, I tapped my fingers against the wheel, thinking about my next step. Hell, I didn’t even know what my next step would be. I only knew that there was no way in hell I could return with Panther.I couldn’t have him ratting out Elena.I just could not…"Tiago," I began, finally breaking the silence in the car. "I took care of Anya’s grave while you were gone." I wasn't sure why I had said it, but it felt necessary. If it’d make him feel like shit later on, good.He nodded as a somber look crossed his face. "Thank you, Marvin," he replied. “I knew I could count on you. I always can.”Yes, but can I count on you?Those were the words I so desperately wanted to ask, but I already knew the answe

Marvin“A-Already?” She frowned. “But of course, come in.” She invited, opening the door wider.“After you.” I turned to Panther, stepping aside. Tiago cared much more for him than he did for me, so it would only be appropriate. Right?After we entered the house, Ana led us to the living room, where we sat down."I'll go get Tiago. Please, make yourselves comfortable!" She called out, leaving the room.“Can I offer you some of our best liquor, sir?” A maid asked. Panther was just about to open his mouth, but I raised my hand to stop him, and kindly declined.“No, we’re good. Thank you, ma’am.” I said. "I need both of us to stay alert today." I exposed myself as my sharp gaze turned to Panther. This time he noticed, but said nothing.Only after a while, Panther huffed to break the silence. "You alright with being here, Marvin?" He asked, probably thinking my behavior had to do with something else.Years ago, Misty had been sleeping around with one of Ana’s sons, who was one of my close

MarvinIt had only been a few hours since I watched the video Anya left behind, along with countless files containing shocking information about Panther's betrayal. Not only Panter but also Tiago, the one I would take a bullet for.And poor Anya…Poor Anya had to pay with her life for trying to expose him. She could’ve told me the truth, she could’ve asked for my help—but she didn’t. Her love for Tiago must’ve been so big, she must’ve wanted enough evidence to show me he got manipulated.I felt shocked, numb, and in utter disbelief that my friend, my brother, had been betraying me. And on top of that, I had to deal with Elena's lies.How could I have been so blind? How could I have allowed myself to be played by three people I thought I could trust? I had always believed that I was strong, that my instincts were sharp. Yet, I was deceived.Me.The heir of the Castillo.All this time I had been keeping a close eye on Victor, while it was those three I really had to look out for.For a

Elena As I walked into the mansion, I immediately felt the tension in the air. It was just a gut feeling that something was about to happen, and I didn’t know why. It wasn’t too crazy, considering I planned on telling Marvin the truth. Dad and I had a deal, and now it was my job to hold up the end of the bargain. He needed me back home. “Marvin!” I called out his name, wondering if he was already home—but he didn't respond. “Marvin?” I walked further. “Mar—“ I stopped in my words as I saw him sitting at the kitchen table with a gun in front of him, and his head lowered. I swallowed as he held his hands together, and raised his head so I could see his eyes. There were filled with anger and disappointment. I wasn’t stupid. I knew what was happening. He had somehow found out the truth, the truth about everything. That must’ve been it. A breath escaped my lips as I reached for my pocket to secure Anya’s drive was still there. In one way there was a feeling of relief. I could fee

MarvinThe guys could talk all they pleased, but I wasn’t embarrassed for rushing to the house to apologize to Elena.My biggest goal was for her not to see what kind of monster I was, and unfortunately, she did. It was easy to blame Panther, but only one person was to blame—and that person was me.Seeing Lucas comforting her brought a sharp pain to my heart. Of course, the detective had to be there for her, while I couldn’t. Call it jealousy. I didn’t care.With Elena on my mind, I went straight home after handling business, but she was nowhere to be found. It wasn’t too far stretched to believe she might’ve run off with Lucas, the perfect detective.Hours went by as I sat at the dining table, waiting for her arrival—but there was still no sign of her.She wouldn’t respond to my calls, my texts—nothing.The second I heard footsteps at the front, I rushed to the door—thinking it was Elena. As I opened it, I realized that wasn’t the case. It was Misty.“What are you doing h—“ I was at
