Chapter 14

I came home like a normal day, but I was paralyzed when I heard my mother talking to a man:

—Didn't you promise you'd take care of making him disappear?—I ask, annoyed.

What are you talking about?

I kept quiet.

—Not at the moment, it would be very risky—he answered.

I snort angrily—you said you would, you had the chance, have you already regretted it? She is still very valuable.

—she's still beautiful, will she come without making a drama?

Mom started laughing—she's going to put up a fight, even though I know it'll be worth it.

—You're offering your daughter, does she know?

How many more disappointments would she give me? It hurt, because she is my mother.

—What are you softening up for?—she mocked—Juliett is the only one who knows where my mother's money is.

—I'm beginning to think you're jealous of her.

—Me jealous? Not at all, she still believes in fairy tales—he mocked again—she lives in a damn fantasy, if I had the chance to get rid of her, I would.
