Chapter 345

Marvin

Everything seemed foggy…

It felt as if I was viewing the world through an underwater lens. That’s right, the car had just crashed. I blinked my eyes through the pain, and crawled away, groaning.

There was no time for pain. The adrenaline pumped through my veins, bringing me back to reality. With heavy breaths, and a ragged pulse drumming in my ears, I had managed to get out of the car.

My first instinct was to go to my brother, who was thrown out of the car. “Are you okay? Can you move?” I asked Tiago, who had luckily remained unharmed.

He nodded his head, his eyes wide open as he took in the scene. With the car almost being on the edge of the cliff, we had barely survived. Did he want to take us all down with him?

My head turned once I had heard a groan, and there he was-Panther, semi-conscious, trying to pull himself together.

A flicker of satisfaction went through my body. Good, I wanted him awake for this.

“Let me give you a hand.” I dragged him out of the wreckage. His body seemed weak as if he was already on the verge of dying. My muscles strained as I pulled him closer to the edge of the cliff, just like I had done when I had asked him about Karina.

I warned him that time.

No more lies, or the next time, I will kill you.

Suddenly I felt a hard object hit me in the eye, and Panther had removed himself from my grip. It all happened so fast, because the next second he stood behind Tiago, with a gun pressed to my brother’s head.

I should’ve known better.

Panther was strong, powerful, he grew up around Castillos.

I carefully observed the frightened expression in Tiago’s eyes. After all those years, and all those days at the Armandos, his reaction towards fear had not changed a thing.

It never would.

“P-P-Pedro?” He almost begged him.

Pathetic.

“I will kill him, Marvin.” Panther smirked. “You know I will.”

“Great.” I shrugged my shoulders, making a thin line with my lips. “Then you’ll know I won’t give a fuck. Good riddance.”

“Marvin!” Tiago called out my name, shocked. Quite funny how he had no issue letting me rot in prison, but now I was supposedly the problem.

He was once again doubting me again.

Of course I wouldn’t let him get killed.

He was still my brother.

“This is how things are going to go.” Panther spoke, taking authority. “I will leave, take him with me–and send him back later, okay?”

I sighed, not giving him a response. Not liking my answer, Panther pushed the gun harder to Tiago’s head.

See, he was actually insane and would do it.

“Okay, okay!” I held up my hands in defense. “But before you go, at least let me know why you’ve been doing all of this. Don’t you think I have the right?”

I was only buying some time so I could figure out what the hell to do.

“Fine.” He sneered. “What do you want to know?”

“You know, Elena told me everything.” I began. “She told me about her family, your threat, she showed me the tape.” I laughed at the last words. “The one of you and my brother conspiring against me to trap me in prison-so first Tiago could take over the business, and then your son….Cisco.”
