Chapter 292

Marvin

You killed Anya. You’re a killer.

One day had passed, but those words were on repeat, and I couldn’t get them out of my head. I was supposed to be angry, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t blame Tiago for reacting the way he did because I knew it was my fault.

“Are you still not moving on from yesterday?”

It was never my intention to harm Anya in any way, and I felt just as awful. “This is all because you baby him too much.” Panther stated as we made our way to the living room. “Ever since we were young, you’ve always let him boss you around-and this is what you’ve created.”

“I created?” I stopped in my steps and turned around to face Panther, seconds away from choking him. The downside of having your friend work for you was them thinking they could get away with every little thing.

“You know how unfair Mario has been, and I had no choice but to baby him!” I hissed in his face. “I give him the same treatment I give you, so the next time you want to talk about babying someone-you should start by looking at yourself!”

Panther raised his hands in defense and brushed past me while I thought about Victor’s words.Could I really trust Panther? Wasn’t he supposed to follow me in my decisions?

“Marvin, why aren’t you in your wheelchair?” My mom approached me. She had a worried look on her face and placed her hands on my waist. “Panther, go get his wheelchair-”

“It’s fine, mom.” I pushed her off. If anyone was babying people in this house, it was my mom. “It’s time for me to pick up where I’ve left, and I think I can manage a few hours without that wheelchair.”

My mom frowned. “A few hours?” She raised her brow. “Where are you going?

“Out?”

“Yes, but where?”

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to keep my calm. My mom’s behavior was the most challenging about my return from prison. The moment she had send me off, I was barely an adult. A lot of years had flown by but unfortunately, not for her.She was still stuck in the past.

“Okay, okay-I’m sorry!” My mom apologized. “It’s just that I want you to be careful, especially with the whole Danny Hernandez thing.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” I reassured her. I had lost my focus at the wedding because I felt obligated to protect Elena, but it wouldn’t happen a second time.
