His words lingered in your ear, causing you to drop the rifle and sob uncontrollably. You felt like a monster who completely lost its control, almost killing the love of your life. You dropped on your knees, staring at your shaky hands and the gun in the side.

Hugo had finally called Dolores who has been waiting for a signal from Camilo that never came, he'd heard about Camilo's magical family and, as the situation worsened by the second, he didn't hesitate to ask her. He admired your courage and didn't want to see you give in to your wrath and murder anyone who had wronged you. The door slammed open, and a swarm of cops stormed into the room, aiming their guns at everyone, but you didn't appear to move.

" Señor Alfonso, Señor Rodriguez, you both are under arrest for money laundering, drug trafficking, and treason. " the policemen cuffed your father, Nicolas, and their guards.

" Señor you must be mistaken- " Nicolas tried to break free.

" You have the right to remain silent, Anything can or will be used against you in the court of law." the policeman cut him off, taking them outside and Hugo also went with them as he's considered as a witness.

You felt someone gently raise you up by carrying you in bridal style; you knew it was him but didn't want to face him, what more do you have but guilt? You sobbed into his chest, grasping his yellow ruana as he walked towards the hall, cradling you in his arms. You kept mumbling the word 'sorry'.

He opened the door to your room and gently placed you on the bed, his quietness slowly killing you. He went towards your bathroom to look for a first aid kit as you laid there, not knowing whether to cry and wait or run away.

You sat up and attempted to leave the bed when you felt someone hug you from behind. " Stay. " he breathed out, placing butterfly kisses on your neck only causing you to soften, turning to him and burying your face on his chest, and cried. He wrapped his arms around your figure and kissed your forehead.

" I'm sorry Camilo, I didn't mean to snap and let my anger get the best of me. It's just that papa said bad things about you and I couldn't control myself. I understand if you want to leave-" you said restlessly as he cut you off with a kiss.

" I won't leave amor. " he cupped your cheek, wiping your tears as you stared at his bruised face. you buried your face in his chest once again and continued sobbing.

" aye, it's not like I'd lose my handsome face mi vida. " he joked as you hit his chest.

" Y/n, look at me. " he lifts your chin gently with one hand, the other brushing the strands of hair away from your face as he stared at you lovingly, your cheeks flushed red earning a cute giggle from him.

" I won't leave. You pointing a gun at me just made me love you more. You'll never give up that easily, and that's worth admiring. " he says and kisses your nose.

" But what if I accidentally shoot you? " your question only made him chuckle, " I know you won't. "

" why? "

" because you love me. "

" You can't take things seriously now can you? " you rolled your eyes as he just laughed.

He cleansed your wounds as you cleaned his, and you both skipped bandages since Antonio's pet bird delivered you both a basket of Julieta's arepas. You both fall back into each other's arms, laying on the bed, snuggling.

" We're finally free, mi amor. " you murmured against his ear.

" I can't wait to love you freely. " he answered and kissed your head.
