Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Castillo Cartel: Dear Marvin: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Marvin“So, what’s your big plan with Elena?” Panther asked. After dropping Elena’s friend home, we were on our way back to the mansion. I looked back at Cisco and Elena, who were passed out in the back.“What?”“What’s your big plan with Elena?” Panther asked again. I heard him the first time, but that was something which I could not answer.“I’ll take her with me, and in the meantime, I’ll figure out a way to help her.”Panther sighed. “So you’ll continue leading her on.” He spoke in disapproval. “I think Elena’s might be good for you.”I frowned, ignoring his advice. I had been through a lot of bad shit in my life, but rejecting someone as perfect as Elena might’ve been the hardest thing I’d ever done. She wouldn’t understand, but I had to get back to work soon, and not getting her directly i

Elena“Elena, did you pack everything?” Marvin stuck his head through the door. I could not even begin to explain the surprise when Marvin practically forced me to pack my suitcases because we were moving.The surprise didn’t end there because I had nearly lost my balance after Marvin told me that ‘officer’ Lucas was actually Mario’s Castillo’s son. I was not going to lie. That was enough for me to agree to move out as I did not want to get involved with family drama which did absolutely not concern me.Tiago, on the other hand, was a different case, and I had yet to speak with him. “Yes, I’m ready!” I told Marvin, pushing my suitcases out the door.I was still trying to wrap my head around this matter and could not believe a family was more dysfunctional than mine. “Wait…before we go…” I stopped in my steps.Marvin turned around. “

Marvin“I’m going to tell Elena the truth…all of it,” I told Panther. Even though I would never say it out loud, his opinion mattered to me the most. Yes, he was stupid—but he could be wise when he needed to be.I said I would take my distance from Elena, but that was impossible—especially after living in a house with her. Denying my feelings was not an option anymore, but neither was lying to her. The only thing holding me back from making a move was the lie. She deserved to know the truth.After seeing the breakfast she prepared for me, I could only feel guilty. I rejected her, but she didn’t care. She still went above and beyond to show me how much she cared. All I wanted was to do the same.I didn’t even want to leave her, but Mario Castillo, who thought it would be great to start me off with small errands, had sent me on a task to pay a random visit at some of our sma

ElenaI walked into a completely dark house. Other than the guards on duty, even the maids were asleep, but it was past midnight, so that wasn’t too crazy.Marvin wasn’t at home, which made the house feel even more empty. Although it was too bad, it wasn’t that difficult to get used to—because my dad and Alex had always been workaholics.I made my way to my room and took a deep breath as I fell to the bed. Work was not that tiring, but I couldn’t say the same about Rona. The bar was not doing well, and honestly—it would be shocking if the bar would still be standing at the end of the week.It seemed like rest wasn’t a part of my routine anymore because my next thought went to Marvin. He said he wanted to be honest with me. He asked me to spend the day together—and I still had no idea where all of this was going. Tomorrow would be interesting.Was he going to confess his feelings?

Elena“My dad…he’s the boss of the Castillo cartel, and I’m…not any better than him.”Shit, he really said it. I looked straight ahead, trying my hardest to control my facial expression.“I'm supposed to take over my dad one day. Our business goes beyond liquor, which is the main reason why we can afford all of this—and I understand that all of this is confusing,” Marvin spoke. The expression on my face must’ve worried him, but Marvin did not know that it was all for a different reason.He ended up telling me the truth, meaning I had to do the same.“I understand that it was wrong for me to lie to you.”I kept quiet and stared into Marvin’s eyes, hoping he would just stop. Marvin, who had failed to read my eyes, was in the process of giving me answers which I had never asked for.“All I wanted was to protec
