Chapter 267

Today would finally be the day.

1 was finally going to meet the person I just couldn’t stop thinking about. Elena Torres.

“The wedding is not today. It’s tomorrow.”

I turned around to look at Tiago, who leaned against the door. “For how long have you been standing there?”

Even though we were both staying at my parents, it was quite a surprise that he even came to visit me. “I’ve seen you change your shirt about six times.” He admitted as he walked in further.

“Tell me, are you going on a date?”

I hadn’t really been vocal about my meeting with Elena because I wanted to meet her first-but this was the first time Tiago was talking to me, and I would make use of it. “I am,” I told him. “Am I making it that obvious?”

Tiago chuckled and sat down. “You haven’t even been here for a solid week, and you’re already going on a date.”

So that was it.

I could sense the hint of jealousy in his tone and felt tempted to call him out. He was the reason I was even locked up in the first place, and I didn’t have to do it. I did it because I loved my brother, but the feeling wasn’t mutual anymore.

“What do you want me to do. Tiago?” I asked him. “Am I not allowed to have fun? Do you want me to suffer here just as I did inside-is that it?”

“No-that’s not what I’m saying.” Tiago rolled his eyes. “I can just tell that you’re up to something, and I don’t want you to steal away the attention tomorrow as you’ve always done.”

“Steal away the attention?” I spoke in disbelief. “Tiago, this is not second grade anymore-I thought you. had at least matured after…”

“After what?” Tiago snapped. “After I killed that officer or after you stepped in to save the day like you always do.”

“Is that what this is about?” I frowned my eyebrows. I had always known he felt threatened, but this was not it. He was my little brother, and all I wanted to do was to protect him. “Tiago, I’m with you-you know that,” I spoke. “And I don’t know what Victor told you because I know it was him-but everything I do-1 do for you, mom and Karina.”

Victor was undeniably involved, and I could smell it from here. I was the only person who could see through that man, and after my dad would take his distance from the business, he would be the first person I would get rid of.

My suspicions got confirmed by the doubtful look on Tiago’s face. “Come on, tell me.” I pushed him. “What did Victor tell you?”

“He told me that you couldn’t stand seeing me happy because I got to live my life while you couldn’t, and he has a point-”

“How?” I asked, irritated. “I told you I’m happy for you, so how does he have a point?”

“I don’t know.”

“You’re scared to be around me because he made you believe that I’ll rat you out if you cross me,” I concluded. I couldn’t blame him for having those thoughts and especially not after what I had done to Danny Hernandez.

“I let someone else take the fall, just to keep you safe-is that not enough for you?” I folded my arms as Tiago shrugged his shoulders. “Victor is trying to drive us apart.” I told him. “He should be the person we should all be worried about, and god knows what he has planned.”

Tiago shook his head, and I could sense that he was waiting to jump to his defense. It was no surprise that the two had bonded throughout the years. Tiago had not been able to rely on me, so he relied on Victor. “I don’t think he meant it like that. Let’s just forget about it-okay?”

“Yes, sure-if that’s what you want.”

Today was a good day, so I did not want to argue with my brother. I was going to meet the love of my life, and no one could ruin it, not even Victor and his childish games.
