“Calm down. It’s me!” Victor growled. I stared my adoptive brother in the eyes and pushed him against the wall. “All the more reason to choke you!”

I squeezed my hand around his throat for a split second, before releasing him as I did not want to ruin Tiago’s day. There was nothing more which I wanted than to kill this father-stealing bastard, but that would have to wait.

“Where is dad?”

Victor let out a cough and held his hand against the wall as he caught his breath. “You sick motherfucker, they should’ve kept you in your cage!”

I rolled my eyes at Victor’s way of overreacting and folded my arms as I waited for him to get back to normal. “It’s a mystery how you’re able to take anything, but a hand around your throat.”

“Now tell me, where’s dad, and why isn’t he with Tiago?”

Victor cleared his throat and fixed his tie.

-We were taking care of the possible hit on your brother, but don’t worry-because we’ve got double the security, so all should be fine.”

“Hit. what do you mean, possible hit?”

I only had one brother, and that was Santiago. The idea of someone being able to hurt him made me sick to my stomach. “Where is

my father?”

“One of the Hernandez’ men snitched on Freddie and told us that they’re planning to strike at the wedding.” Victor ignored my initial question and continued talking. “Freddie gave them one simple instruction. He told his men to execute your brother at the wedding-as revenge for what you’ve done to Danny.”

“So you’re telling me they’re after Santiago?”

“Yes, but-

“Then we have to cancel the wedding, w-what are you doing?” I furrowed my eyebrows. Tiago’s life was at stake, and all he could do was tighten the security. Freddie’s threats were not to be seen as a joke. “Cancel the wedding?” Victor scoffed. “Everything went downhill when you didn’t follow the plan and gave up Danny to that DEA agent like a piece of meat-”

“Shut up!”

“You were the one who so desperately wanted to get out your cage, or don’t you remember anymore?” Victor commented. “Dad warned us about the consequences, but you just had to go and-”

“Shut up!” I yelled at him. His words made me furious, and him calling Mario dad made it even more intolerable.

I clenched my fist, preparing myself to punch Victor-but got interrupted by the sound of my dad’s laughter. In a split second, I dropped my fist and turned around as he clapped his hands with a devilish smile on his face. “Speaking like a true bitch.” He mocked me.

“Dad? What is all of this, and why isn’t the wedding canceled?”

“Because!” Mario Castillo raised his voice. “I will not let Freddie Hernandez win, and this is exactly what he wants. He wants to scare us, and I will show him that I will not cancel the wedding. The Castillo’s do not take orders from anyone.”

“But Tiago?” I asked, irritated. Ever since a young age, I had already realized that this man was a monster, but was I really any different from him? Even though I didn’t want to admit it, Victor was right. I was the one who wanted to get out of prison earlier than discussed, and I was the one who got Danny Hernandez arrested—while I knew who we were dealing with.

I was the one who had put my brother’s life in danger.

“Dad, you need to cancel the wedding. I told him. “Think about Tiago, think about mom-you can’t do

this.”

“They don’t know, and they don’t have to know. We’re not canceling the wedding, and we will proceed as planned.” My dad decided. “And Tiago? He has you-1 came here to tell you not to lose your coward brother out of sight, even if it’s for a second.”
