Chapter 290
Marvin
Elena: Good luck
Marvin: For?
Elena: You’re going home today!
Marvin: Already am.
Elena: Oh?
Elena: Why didn’t you tell me!
I guess we were back at the emojis.
“Who’s blowing up your phone like that? Is the job done?”
Victor forced his head over my shoulder, but before he could see anything, I locked my phone. “It’s nothing,” I spoke, annoyed. Any other day I would’ve avoided him, but for now, I was still bound to a wheelchair.
It had been two weeks since I’d seen Elena, and other than harassing me with thousandth text messages, she had often visited me at the hospital to take care of me. The two of us had become close friends, and I was certain that it was all it was going to be for now.
The tragedy at the wedding was still a sensitive topic, as well as prove that bringing innocent people into my life could be a risk, but I had made an exception for Elena. I would care for her from a distance.
With my discharge from the hospital, it meant that my plan was in action and that we would soon receive word from the prison. Stabbing Danny Hernandez would not be the first thing on my list, but my dad was right. We had to do everything we could not to make a mockery out our family. Hurting Danny Hernandez for what his family had done to Anya, wasn’t nearly enough-but it was enough for now.
“I still think we should’ve let Manny kill him. Just injuring him isn’t cutting it for me. “Victor shared his unwanted opinion. My dad stood up from his office desk and poured himself a drink. “Marvin made a good suggestion, and I won’t let you question my decision. You’re not the one in charge here.” He snarled. “I do not like your tone nowadays.”
“Sorry, dad.”
I held back my laughter as my dad corrected Victor. Surprisingly enough, my dad and I had slowly restored our bond and were getting closer day by day, which meant Victor did not hold that much importance anymore. “Marvin, I heard you’re going back to your own home.”
“That’s right.” I nodded. “Panther and mom are preparing my return this very moment.”
Although being with my family felt great, I needed my space, and I hadn’t forgotten about Anya’s key. If it was truly meant for Tiago, I had to know the context of it first. I didn’t want him to push his feelings.
Unfortunately, Tiago was not in his right state of mind and had locked himself upstairs while my mom had been taking care of him. I hadn’t seen him yet, and I knew I couldn’t walk in with more bad news, so 1 had to give him something.I had to do something for Anya.
“Don’t be ridiculous. Just stay here.” Mario suggested while Victor lowered his head in defeat. “You can’t take care of yourself, so I’ll hire a nurse and get you the best care so you can get back on your feet-”
“I have Panther. He can help me. Thank you.”
“Excuse me, dad-but I think Marvin might be right.” Victor butted in. “If anything, I think we need to give Marvin his space.”
Mario went into deep thoughts while I shot Victor a suspicious look. Even though I agreed with his words, I knew this man only suggested this for his own benefit. He didn’t want me here because he wouldn’t be able to control this household.
My eyes moved to an important message on my phone
Unknown: Your flowers have been delivered.
“It’s done.” I took a breath. My dad moved to the edge of his seat, and Victor stepped forward. “It’s done…. so now we can all move on and focus on the business, I spoke, embarrassed. I didn’t want to do any of this because I knew the more I would get into it, the more I would actually enjoy it. All I wanted was to live in
