I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes.
"So much anger, piccola raggaz...

I laughed, a full-blown laugh, as soon as I heard him say those words to me, "What?" I asked after sobering up.
"You heard me." He gritted out from the other end.
I detected a hint of anger in his voice.
"I did, and that's absurd. You sent 50 kilograms of cocaine so I can marry your daughter?" I chuckled darkly.
Everyone looked at me with their mouths agape and the line was silent for a while before he spoke again, "You're disrespecting me, you piece of shit. Listen-"
I cut him off, "No, you listen here and listen fuckin' good. I ain't marrying your daughter just because you sent me a measly amount of cocaine. You'll get it delivered back to you by tomorrow at dawn. And you wanna know why? Because I have a woman who I love and she's currently waiting for me upstairs."
"You have a woman?" he asked, sounding clearly shocked.
"I am not a fan of repeating things." I retorted coldly.
"I had no idea." He replied.
"Well, now you do. And you dare to cross me, just remember what we're capable of." I threatened and hung up.
"Fuckin' asshole." Javier spat.
I was fuming now. How dare that bastard think that I will marry his daughter?
"The nerve of that asshole." Dad chimed in.
"If there's nothing more to be discussed, I would take my leave now." I said standing up and buttoning my suit jacket.
"We'll leave, too." Javier announced.
"Ask Cara to come over when she feels okay." I said to him.
He nodded his head and everyone left after saying their goodbyes. I went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and then decided to check on Sia.
"Hey." I spoke leaning against the door as soon as I reached her room.
Zio Leo was standing near her bed while she was sitting with her back against the headboard. Her eyes snapped to mine and a look of relief washed over her, "Hey." She mumbled.
"I'll be on my way, now. Anything I need to know?" he inquired looking at me.
"Nothing important." I replied, deciding not to tell him about that Portuguese crap in front of her.
"Take care of her." He said before giving me a pat on the back and leaving.
"I will." I said over my shoulder and turned to face Sia.
"Hungry?" I asked.
She began to shake her head, "Can we eat later?" she asked.
"No, bambina. I have to follow your schedule." I denied her request.
