Will You Marry Me?
“I’m so sorry, Maya. But listen to me...I’ll find her. I promise you, I won’t stop until we bring her home.”
She pulled away just enough to look at him, eyes swollen with tears. “Nico Vargas. He’s the one who has her.”
Carlos’s expression changed.
Maya noticed. “You know him?”
He gave a slow nod. “Yeah. I know him. He's extremely dangerous."
Something passed between them, unspoken, tense.
She wiped her cheeks, her voice suddenly hollow. “Then I don’t care anymore.”
Carlos frowned. “What do you mean?”
“I mean… I don’t care what happens to me.” Her voice had no fear, just fire. “If I die doing this, so be it. I just want two things. To save Star. Then burn that hellhole to the ground.”
