Chapter 337

Elena

“I’m here to make it up to you.” He spoke. “I’m ready to listen to you, trust you-and I’m ready to take you home.”

Not knowing what else to do, I took a step back and shook my head. “N-no.” I breathed, looking dad in his eyes. “I’m not going anywhere-I’m not!”

“Elena-

“I’m not.”

“Just hear us out, please.” Alex jumped in. He didn’t raise his voice, he didn’t look at me the wrong way. and it almost seemed as if he was afraid I could run out any second. “Please.” He pleaded.

I folded my arms and looked at Lucas, who shrugged his shoulders.

How the hell did he get involved anyway?

That’s what I would like to know.

“You know what, I’ll hear you guys out-but that’s it. I spoke before hearing three relieved sighs.

As promised, I sat beside Lucas with dad and Alex on the opposite side. My previous thoughts, occupied with Marvin’s terrifying persona, had suddenly vanished.

What was up with these three, and why were they together?

Perhaps to take down Marvin?

Or maybe it was nothing other than a scheme to take me home?

Deep down, I knew I had to go back at one point. I knew that that was the sacrifice I had to make to keep Marvin safe-but now was not the time.

Lucas cleared his throat, carefully nudging my shoulder. “So, do you want something to eat?”

“No,” I answered dryly. “Just get it over with and start talking.”

Alex and Lucas shot each other a look before moving their gaze to dad. “So I suppose I’ll do the talking” His lips curled as they always would whenever he used to speak rubbish.

He took a breath. “So it all started when Lucas showed up at our doorsteps.”

Without missing a single detail, dad went through every little thing while Alex and Lucas filled in the missing pieces whenever necessary.

He spoke about Lucas’ mom, their deal to take down Mario in exchange for Marvin, and his ultimate planı to bring me back home.

The way those words left his mouth, as if he hadn’t expected it to go any other way, scared me.

After all this time, he still hadn’t learned anything and was out to control my life. The only difference? This time he was of value to me.
