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.
