I blink at him in confusion as he lets go of me and storms to the door.

This conversation was just surreal.

Why would he deny what he did? Does he think that will make me more agreeable?

Well, his attempt at gaslighting me isn’t going to work.

He killed Alex.

If Alex had to kill Rodrigo first, it was because he was defending himself.

I’m sure of it.

I know Alex.

My brother would never risk starting a war, no matter what happened, and he wouldn’t lose his temper.

Rodrigo came after him first, and Alex had no choice.

Then, once Victor found out his brother was dead, he went after Alex.

I don’t know why he’s trying to deny it now.

The Santarossas are all fucking crazy.

But at least I got Victor to leave.

There’s no way I’m going to let him touch me.

I’ll kill him first.
