Elena
‘8 missed calls from Rona’
‘From Elena
To: Rona
I’m alright, don’t worry about me. I’ll call you back later!’
Confused, I looked down at the key in my hands as I blocked off the sound of the waiting area. I didn’t even know what I was doing here or why I even felt the need to come—but it had somehow turned out this way.
Anya…
I squeezed the key in my hands as I thought about her request. The key was meant for Marvin and only him. Would he survive?
“Elena!”
No, not again.
I jumped up from the bench and stepped back in fear as I looked at my dad, who was trying to force his way into the waiting room. “No, sir—this is only meant for close relatives!” Tw

The Castillo Cartel: Dear Marvin Chapter 36
ElenaI peeked at Panther, who was driving the car, and wished for all of this to be over. After hearing the news about Anya, I was in such a daze that my mind could not work properly. Perhaps that was why I went along with Panther.Only now had I realized that he was not some helpful man but a criminal. I almost gasped, thinking about the reason why he would willingly want to drive me home. Was he going to get rid of me because I knew too much? What was it exactly that I knew?Panther sighed. “Don’t worry. You’re safe.”He must’ve read my uncomfortable body language. “Marvin somehow ended up taking a bullet for you…which means you might mean more to him than I thought.”Panther was right, and there was no denying it. I had made Marvin out to be a monster, but he was eventually the one who had saved my life. He could’ve run over to his brother, but he did

ElenaWith a heavy heart, I almost dragged myself down the stairs as I made my way to the living room. The sun had risen, meaning there was no running away.“What the…”I stopped for a second after hearing multiple voices in the living room and wondered what was going on. What were Victoria and her dad doing here?Full of curiosity, I hid behind the wall so I could eavesdrop on the conversation. “So she sent him an email without knowing it was him.” I heard my dad’s voice. “She didn’t do it on purpose?”Anger took over as I realized Victoria had been telling my entire household my business without my knowledge. Maybe it was for the best, I mean—at least I didn’t have to say to him myself.“So this is what you’ve been doing instead of working?” Cyrus Schmidt spoke in his unfriendly tone. “Daring someone as mentally uns

Marvin “Marvin, wake up.” “Marvin, can you hear me?” With pain in my head, I slowly opened my eyes I focused on the sound of my mom’s voice, trying to fight my way to my blurry vision. The first thing you usually heard in movies were common words such as, where am I or who am I, but I was not confused. I was aware of my surroundings, and only one thing went through my mind. I am alive…I survived. “Marvin, it’s time to wake up.” “Mom, don’t force him.” “Is uncle dead?” “I’m not dead,” I yawned, stretching out my arms. I was supposed to be dead, but I wasn’t. The first thing I felt was my mom’s soft lips on top of my forehead. “I thought we’d lost you as well.” She cried. Confused, I turned my head to look at my sister, Karina, and my nephew, Cisco. “What does she mean? Where is Tiago—“ “Tiago is fine.”

MarvinToday was Anya’s funeral, and it pained me to know that I couldn’t even be there. She was a good person with a good heart and had a long life ahead of her.A part of me felt guilty for obeying my dad’s wishes, but more so for planning on seeing not only Daniel Stanfield but also Elena today.“I thought I told you to stay out of trouble.”I laughed at the familiar voice and raised my hand to greet Daniel. He had a bouquet in his hands and wore his rare everyday clothes.Seeing him in something other than a uniform was refreshing for a change. “How can I stay out of trouble if others won’t let me?”Daniel chuckled as he placed the flowers on the nightstand. “That’s true.”“So I heard you called for me.” He spoke, sitting down. “Although you were my favorite inmate, I hope you know I’m risking a lot by just coming here.&rdquo

ElenaHours slipped into days, and I had yet to receive a phone call from Panther. It was the only thing keeping me awake, but nothing had happened. Money didn’t grow from a tree, so despite everything, I was back at work.Exhausted, I leaned my head against the bar as I took in the silence of the empty space. Personally, I thought opening the cocktail bar in the morning didn’t even make sense, but it was whatever. Not my business, not my rules.“You’re haunting away the customers.” Rona tapped my shoulder. I raised my head with a lazy expression in my eyes. “Customers?” I yawned. “It’s morning!”“My god.” Rona giggled. “It’s good to see you’re slowly getting your personality back.”“Right,” I mumbled. That was probably because this was the only time of the day where I did not have to be serious. My dad and Alex were

Elena“Please, sit.”Nervously, I fumbled the keys in my hands and followed Marvin’s instructions as I sat down on a chair near the hospital bed. I took a deep breath and raised my head to look at him. Marvin had a gentle smile on his face, and by the looks of it, he seemed to be doing just fine.He wasn’t afraid of eye contact and stared at me as if I was obligated to lead the conversation.What would you say to someone who had taken a bullet for you?What was there to say?I was able to talk to Panther, so why wasn’t I able to talk to Marvin?There were so many names to call him, but there was only one strange thing about this situation. I wasn’t scared.The fear came from not knowing what he would say, but I wasn’t afraid of him. If anything, I felt at ease. “So.” I began. “I’m sorry about Anya&mdas

Marvin—Elena: Good luck♥️Marvin: For?Elena: You’re going home today!Marvin: Already am.Elena: Oh?Elena: Why didn’t you tell me!Elena: 😡😩😢😣—I guess we were back at the emojis.“Who’s blowing up your phone like that? Is the job done?”Victor forced his head over my shoulder, but before he could see anything, I locked my phone. “It’s nothing,” I spoke, annoyed. Any other day I would’ve avoided him, but for now, I was still bound to a wheelchair.It had been two weeks since I’d seen Elena, and other than harassing me with thousandth text messages, she had often visited me at the hospital to tak

Elena“Flower delivery for Elena Torres?”A young delivery man entered the bar with a bouquet in his hands. Rona and I stared at each other at the same time before we turned our heads to the bouquet. “F-for me?”The man read the card. “Elena Torres?” He said. I gave him a nod and grabbed the flowers from his hands. Why would I receive flowers at this time of the day?“Well, come on, read it!” Rona nearly jumped in excitement as the man had left the bar. I grabbed the small card attached to it and read the message.‘Thank you for taking care of me, I appreciate, and I can’t thank you enough -Marvin.’I read the message out loud and moved my finger to the diamond ring attached to it. “Wow,” Rona gasped. “And you’re telling me he’s not interested in you? Give it here!“She grabbed the ring and held it in the air. With sq
