Chapter 23

“What’s going on Gavin?” Luis asks as they continue running to a vehicle flanked by guards.

Gavin continues to not speak. He gets into the vehicle and drives the couple away from the castle. He stops at the gate and picks up Hector.

As they are exiting the gate Gavin stops behind a building and waits. They look behind to see several SUVs rushing into the gates.

“What the fuck is going on Gavin? Hector?” Luis says.

“It’s not safe to talk yet. Just stay quiet and we’ll get you both to safety.” Gavin says sternly.

Luis nods and wraps his arm around Veronica then pulls her close to his side.

Veronica is scared but can’t help but feel safe being in Luis’s arms.

“Wait, what about Javier?” Veronica asks worriedly.

“He’s okay. He’ll be joining you later. Frank is his guard and will take good care of him Donna. I promise.” Hector says.

She nods and they go back to sitting in silence as they drive for 30 minutes until they reach a secluded property covered by trees with three small houses.
