Chapter 339

Elena

If someone told me I would be sitting on Victoria’s big, luxurious and cozy sofa with the most unexpected group, I would’ve laughed in their faces.

Somehow, dad, Alex, Victoria, Lucas, Victor, and I were all part of this secret complot and waiting for Victoria to play Anya’s file which would take down Panther once and for all.

I knew how dad and Alex felt about sitting in a room with a Castillo-but at that moment, it was the least of his concerns. All he wanted to know was what exactly had happened to his friend-Stevie Maddens.

“If this is the evidence I’ve been looking for. F’ll tell Marvin everything and come back home,” 1 announced. “Victor said he’d protect me-he also said it’s for the best.”

“Yes.” Victor nodded uncomfortably, probably not wanting to be in the same room with a bunch of authorities who were not corrupt. “Apparently, we’ve got each other’s backs.”

Dad and Alex shared a look. “Then what are we waiting for?” Dad spoke.

The Tape

Four Years Ago

At the table sat Tiago Castillo with Panther, who had just made a shocking request. “I know your family hasn’t treated you right, but I will fix their mistakes for you.”

It was no shocker that Panther, who had been a great observer, had quickly noticed Tiago’s disliking towards his brother.

“Panther, you’re asking me to betray my brother.”

“Yes-yes, I am,” Panther confirmed, no shame whatsoever. “I see the way you look at him. I see how it breaks you whenever your parents have no shame admitting you’ll never be like him.” He said. “I can see you hate him—“

“I do.” Tiago cut him off. “I hate him with every bone in my body, but he’s still my brother.”

“Your brother sees you as a burden. He doesn’t want you around.”

“How do you know?”

Panther showed him a smug smile, shrugging his shoulders. “Because that’s what he’s been telling everyone-and if you don’t believe me, you can go around and ask.” He spoke. “What do you think will happen when he takes over Mario? Do you think you’ll be safe?”

Tiago went silent, knowing it was not out of place for his brother to make such comments as Marvin had often shared his feelings.

“He told me he would send you out of the country,” Panther said. “That you’re soft, nothing—even Victor is better than you.

Tiago’s hands were shaking. He felt betrayed, angry and confused. He didn’t want to leave and was

determined to prevent it at all costs.”What do you want me to do?”

“The deal with the Hernandez next week-I need you to be there.”

“Dad and Marvin won’t let me.”

“Don’t worry about Marvin. I got that dog right where I want him to be.” Panther clicked his tongue, shaking his head. “Who do you think has been pulling the strings?”

Tiago sighed. “What’s your big plan?”,

“The deal will fail, and there will be a raid.”

“How do you know?”

“I got this corrupt agent working for me. His name is Stevie Maddens.” Panther shared. “Stevie has been trying to threaten to expose me, and I’ve been meaning to teach him a lesson.”

“W-what do I have to do with that?”

“I need you to harm him for me.” Panther requested as if it was an everyday thing. “Just a little-nothing too bad.”

“Why?”

“Because I need Marvin to take the blame for you,” Panther told him. “He cares just enough to play the hero-so he wouldn’t let you take the blame.”

“I don’t think this is a good idea.” Tiago swallowed his breath. “And I’ve never held a gun before..Marvin told dad he wouldn’t allow it.”

“Marvin feels threatened and has been trying to hold you back, but I won’t.” Tiago felt uncomfortable hearing those words. “Listen, all you have to do is make the shot, just harm Stevie a little-I’ll teach you how and where. I’ll personally escort Marvin behind bars.”

“For how long?”

“Long enough for your father to see that you should be his rightful heir-but don’t worry, it’ll just be for a while.”

“Even if I do so-how could it help you?”

Panther laughed, throwing back his head. “When Cisco turns twenty-one, you will hand over everything to him.”

“Cisco?” Tiago frowned. “Why would you be interested in Cisco?”

“You’re not the brightest.” Panther glared. “Are you really asking me why I would be interested in my son?”

Tiago’s expression paled. “Y-your son?” He stared at the man in front of him, hoping for at least an explanation as to why Panther would call Karina’s kid his son.

Just when he had found the courage to ask further, he got interrupted by the sound on his phone. “It’s Anya.” He got up, not wanting to miss her call. “I-1 h-have to take this.”

He walked out.

At that moment, one of Panther’s hidden men stepped in and joined him at the table. “Do you really think this will work, boss?” He asked.
