I warned you not to get involved, Sara. Gonzalo, we can talk about this. It doesn’t have to end badly. It already did.
Things ended badly when you decided to threaten me. Aurelio says you’re a loose end, and loose ends get cut. He lunged at her.
Sara tried to defend herself, but Gonzalo was stronger. He hit her. She fell against the table. Her vision blurred. The last thing she saw before losing consciousness was her daughter.
Salomé stood in the hallway, her eyes wide with terror. Sara gathered her last bit of strength and signaled her. Silence.
Hide. Don’t make a sound. Salome obeyed. She hid in the hallway closet. The next thing Sara remembered was waking up in a moving car.
Martin was taking her somewhere safe. “My daughter,” she murmured. “My husband. We can’t go back,” Martin said.
“Gonalo thinks you’re dead. If you come back, he’ll finish killing you and kill the girl as a witness.”
