All Chapters of The Castillo Cartel: Dear Marvin: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Elena“Please, sit.”Nervously, I fumbled the keys in my hands and followed Marvin’s instructions as I sat down on a chair near the hospital bed. I took a deep breath and raised my head to look at him. Marvin had a gentle smile on his face, and by the looks of it, he seemed to be doing just fine.He wasn’t afraid of eye contact and stared at me as if I was obligated to lead the conversation.What would you say to someone who had taken a bullet for you?What was there to say?I was able to talk to Panther, so why wasn’t I able to talk to Marvin?There were so many names to call him, but there was only one strange thing about this situation. I wasn’t scared.The fear came from not knowing what he would say, but I wasn’t afraid of him. If anything, I felt at ease. “So.” I began. “I’m sorry about Anya&mdas

Elena“Flower delivery for Elena Torres?”A young delivery man entered the bar with a bouquet in his hands. Rona and I stared at each other at the same time before we turned our heads to the bouquet. “F-for me?”The man read the card. “Elena Torres?” He said. I gave him a nod and grabbed the flowers from his hands. Why would I receive flowers at this time of the day?“Well, come on, read it!” Rona nearly jumped in excitement as the man had left the bar. I grabbed the small card attached to it and read the message.‘Thank you for taking care of me, I appreciate, and I can’t thank you enough -Marvin.’I read the message out loud and moved my finger to the diamond ring attached to it. “Wow,” Rona gasped. “And you’re telling me he’s not interested in you? Give it here!“She grabbed the ring and held it in the air. With sq

Elena“Here you go, dad!” I placed a cup of coffee on his desk. “Watch out. It’s hot.”My dad turned on his lamp and closed his laptop to face me. He was still crazy, but he looked a lot better than he did two weeks ago. “You’re in a good mood.” He smiled. “Why are you all dressed up? Aren’t you going to bed?”I spun around to show him my outfit and made a pose. “I’m going out with Rona, don’t wait up for me.”He shrugged and took a sip from his coffee. “You deserve to have fun.” He spoke. It took a lot to gain back his trust, but I had somehow managed to do it. The poor man thought I had cut off all contact with Marvin, and I did not feel bad for lying to him.I wasn’t the issue, and I didn’t do anything wrong, dad and Alex did.“You know, Victoria misses you.” My dad mentioned her name. Sin

Marvin“Wasn’t the beating enough for you?”I could hardly believe we were doing this again, but I pressed my arm against Victor’s neck, trapping him between the wall. It was a shame we had to do this in my dad’s office.Scolding Victor couldn’t wait, so I wasted no time and was ready to get my answers. I had been doing everything to keep Elena away from all this madness, only for him to open the door right in front of me.Sending her flowers and a ring to cover up my alibi for the text confirmation about Danny Hernandez was already bad enough, but he had made it a whole lot worse.“I invited your little thing to the mansion, so what?” Victor played the victim as always. It didn’t matter. Mario wouldn’t agree to this—he would never. The mansion was the heart of the organization, and he wouldn’t be that stupid to allow this.“Hey, what&rsqu

Elena“Elena Torres and I’m here for the Castillo’s,” I repeated myself for the third time. It was surprising how Marvin forgot to mention that his family lived in a gated community, but it was to be expected.After all, they were loaded, and a family like theirs couldn’t just live in any neighborhood. A few days had passed ever since I agreed to take up on Victor’s offer, and here I was—on my way to Marvin’s house.The guard lowered his sunglasses and stuck his head through my car window. “I don’t know, but I don’t think the Castillo’s like waiting.” I gave him an attitude. “How about you call them and ask them about an Elena?”The moody guard had been giving me a hard time ever since I had arrived at the gates. I knew neither my car nor the vibes I gave off were enough for these people, but I wasn’t to blame for that.“Just call
