The ropes cut into Ximenna’s wrists. Her arms ached from being tied behind the chair for so long. The room smelled faintly of dust.

Victor stood in front of her. His eyes were cold and he didn’t need to speak much. His presence said everything.

Tania and Carlos were no longer in the room. They had dragged them out a few minutes ago, kicking and screaming. Ximenna could still hear their voices echoing down the hallway, then silence. Now it was just her and Victor.

“You know who I am,” he said in a low voice.

Ximenna nodded slowly. Her throat was dry. She wanted to speak, but the words stuck.

“Good,” Victor continued. “Then you know why I’m here.”

His tone was calm, but Ximenna could feel the storm under his voice.

“Victoria was my blood,” he said, his voice hardening. “My niece. My responsibility. And now…” His jaw clenched. “She’s dead.”

Ximenna swallowed hard. She didn’t look away. Fear clawed at her chest, but she knew showing weakness would only make things worse.

    Miguel leaned against the wall outside the hospital. He had been driving all night, thinking about Ximenna and about what had just happened. His stomach ached, but he knew he could not act recklessly. First, he needed to see Diego.Diego had been shot badly during the chaos. Miguel had brought him here, to the hospital, and now he had to make sure his friend stayed alive.He pushed open the hospital door and walked quickly to the front desk. “Diego Alvarez. Room seven. How is he?”The nurse looked at him with tired eyes. “He’s stable, but critical. You can see him, but only for a short time.”Miguel nodded. “Thank you.” He hurried down the corridor, each step heavy in his mind. The images of last night kept replaying—the gunshots, the cars, the black SUVs. And Victor Alvarez… he could feel the cold danger even now.When he entered the ICU, he saw Diego lying on the bed. Tubes ran into his arms, and a mask covered his face. He was pale, but alive. Miguel pulled a chair close to the bed

    Miguel stood in the middle of the safe house, His mind was racing too fast. Ximenna was out there. Tania had her. Carlos had his own part in this. And Diego… Diego was in the hospital, bleeding, fighting for his life.Luis stepped forward. “Boss, we have the lists of everyone working with them. Men, cars, hideouts. We can move fast if you want.”Miguel didn’t answer at first. He looked at the map. A city full of streets, alleys, and abandoned buildings. Every corner could hide an enemy. Every step could cost Ximenna her life.Finally, he spoke. “We move carefully. No mistakes. We don’t just take back Ximenna. We take down everyone standing with Tania and Carlos. Start with the informants. I want to know everything about their hideouts.”Luis nodded. “Already done. Some men are watching their usual spots. Some of Carlos’s contacts are nervous. They’re talking.”Miguel didn’t smile. He didn’t need to. “Good. Keep watching. And get me the routes they use to move her. If we can track thei

    The car sped through the narrow road, its tires screeching as Carlos drove. Ximenna sat in the back seat, her wrists tied together..“Keep your mouth shut,” Tania said without looking at her. “You try anything, you die.”Ximenna stayed silent, but her heart was throbbing intensely. She kept wondering if Miguel was coming to save her anytime soon.Suddenly, the sharp sound of gunshots broke through the night.The shots echoed loudly in the distance. Carlos cursed under his breath and stepped harder on the gas.“What the hell was that?” Tania yelled.Ximenna’s eyes widened. For a second, hope lit inside her. It must be Miguel. But then another shot was fired, closer this time, followed by a scream from one of Carlos’s men in the second car behind them.“Boss!” a voice shouted through the radio. “They’re attacking! We’re under fire!”Carlos grabbed the radio quickly. “Who? Who’s attacking?”The voice crackled with fear. “We don’t know! They’re fast—two cars, maybe more—”The line went d

    The car moved fast on the empty road and Tania was in the front seat, talking to the driver.They moved silently for a while until Ximenna broke the silence. “Where are you taking me?”She asked.Carlos gave a dry laugh. “You’ll know soon.”“You can’t do this,” Ximenna said. Her voice shook, but she didn’t stop. “Miguel will come for me.”Tania turned her head slightly and smiled without humour, “Miguel will be too late.”Ximenna’s chest tightened. She wanted to scream, but what good would that do? She pulled at the rope around her wrists, but Carlos noticed and yanked her arm hard.“Try that again,” he warned.Ximenna glared at him. “You’re both cowards.”Carlos slapped her across the face. Her head jerked to the side. Pain burned her cheek, but she didn’t cry. She just stared at him with fire in her eyes.“That’s enough,” Tania said sharply. “Don’t damage her face. We need her alive and useful.”Carlos leaned back, still angry. “She needs to learn respect.”“Respect?” Ximenna spat. “

    Miguel drove back fast. His mind was heavy, but he did not expect what he was about to see. When he reached the gate, it was open. That was wrong. The gate was always closed.He stopped the car and got out. His eyes moved quickly. No guards were outside. No one was at the post. Miguel’s heart started beating faster. Something bad had happened surely.Miguel’s heart started beating fast.He reached the door, and it was wide open. He entered and the first thing he saw was blood. Drops of blood on the floor. A chair had fallen over, and the smell of dust was still in the air.“No,” Miguel whispered. He ran further inside.The living room was a mess. The ropes that had tied Ximenna were on the floor. Broken. There was a gun near the wall and more blood on the ground. His heart sank when he saw Diego lying there.“Diego!” Miguel dropped to his knees beside him.Diego was breathing, but it was bad. Blood covered his shirt. His face was pale, his lips dry.“Diego, stay with me,” Miguel said,
