"What?" I press the phone to my ear.
"How dare you break up with my daughter!" His voice booms through the phone.
"We can't be together. Find another solution or don't. I don't care."
"You have just declared war on us, Rafael. Be ready." With that, he hangs up, making me slam the phone on the nearest wall in my office.
I don't care about fighting with him, my only concern is my father. I let him down and I couldn't push myself to stay with her. I am supposed to be with her forever, yet I couldn't stay with her for more than a month like a pussy. My emotions got the best of me and I acted according to my heart, something I can't bear to do. Mafia dons acting with their hearts will only result in their doom.
And I am not going to let that happen to me.
"Carmen knows where we live, we need to move," I tell Alex.
"What do you mean move? We can't just move like that."
"We can. We have many mansions across the country, choose one and let me know."

"Yes," I reply hesitantly.
"What happened again?" She sighs, putting the nail polish away.
I sit on her bed beside her and start talking. "An hour ago, we were in the backyard and—"
"We as in who?" She cuts me off.
"You know who, Alba." I glare, making her giggle.
"Anyways, we were talking and she was making sure I was okay and—" I stop mid-sentence, scared to say the next words as I am embarrassed for an unknown reason. Maybe because I don't want to talk about this with my sister, but I have no one else to talk to, and I certainly won't talk about Ana to the guys.
"And what, Rafa?"
"I wanted to...kiss her."
"Good god, why do I have to listen to all of this!" She exclaims playfully.
