He's been gone for hours."The officer nodded, his expression sympathetic. "We're doing everything we can, Mr. Favino. We've put out an Amber Alert. We're checking all the security cameras in the area. We'll find him."Alejandro's hands were shaking. "I can't lose him. I can't."Just then, his phone buzzed.

    ARIANA APARTMENT ~ NEW YORK CITY Leo shrugged, a small smile appearing on his face. "I had to get away. Gabriella was so mad. She screamed so loud. It was so funny."Ariana laughed again, pulling him into another hug. "Oh, I wish I could have seen her face. She probably looked like a fish out of water."Leo giggled, but his giggles quickly turned back to tears. "Aunt Ariana, I don't want to go to that school. I want my mother.

I'm going to take care of you until your mother gets out of prison. Do you understand?"Leo's eyes lit up with hope. "Really? I can stay with you?"Ariana nodded firmly. "Really. I'm not letting anyone send you away. You're family, Leo. And family sticks together."She stood up and took his hand. "Come on. Let's get you cleaned up. You look like you've been throu

That this little phone call is just you being pissed you couldn’t walk away clean.”He glanced at the phone still pressed to her ear.“Go on. Keep talking. I’ll wait right here. I want to hear how you explain the marks I left on your neck and the way your jeans are still half down.”Ariana’s face went tight. She turned her shoulder away from him, still holding the phone to her ear, but her voice came out sharper than she meant it to.“Shut up, Daniel.”She gave the address and hung up. She looked down at Daniel, who was still writhing on the floor."Enjoy your arrest, Daniel.

In his dream, she was smiling at him, her hand reaching out to touch his face.Then his bedroom door burst open.Leo sat up with a jolt, rubbing his eyes. His heart was pounding as he saw his father standing in the doorway with Gabriella right behind him. Alejandro's face was stern and cold, like a judge about to deliver a sentence. Gabriella was smiling like she had just won the lottery.Leo's stomach dropped. He knew something bad was coming. He had seen that look on his father's face before—the look that said he was about to make a decision that would change everything."Leo," Alejandro said, his voice flat and businesslike. "I need to talk to you. It's important. Get up and sit properly."Leo slowly swung his legs off the bed and sat up
