Chapter 16: Amá
âGustavo, please donât.â I whimper, backing into the corner of our bedroom. âIâll behave, I promise. I wasnât trying to leave; I would never do that to you and Pedro.â
Gus is furious, and terrifying me.
âNo? Your father is under the impression that Iâm mean to you.â He growls. âAm I mean to you, Kitty?â He taunts, moving inches from me.
âNo!â I stammer, trying to think of a way out of this. âNo, heâs just getting old. He has too many opinions. I told him Iâm happy, I swear.â Iâm not lying, I did tell him Iâm happy. But Diego Garcia smells lies just as well as Gus does.
âHeâs waging a war for you Kitty Kat, clearly youâve led him to believe you're unhappy. What should I do about this, hm?â He brushes a piece of hair behind my ear, pursing his lips. Weâre to be married in a month and he wants to break up the marriage now⦠We canât have that can we?â
âI want to marry you.â I whimper through my lie. âHeâll back off, he has to.â
âI could always put another baby in you, couldnât I, mi amor?â
Fear rushes over my body.
Please God no.
âWe donât need another baby.â I pull on my best poker face. âI love you; Iâll stand with you Gus. Itâs us. Itâs always been us. We can make it through anything.â
His face flashes with lust, then suspicion eats it up.
âYouâve always been good at so many things.â He hums. âBut even you canât lie to me, Kitty.â His hands shoot around me, caging me in against the wall. âSo, Iâll offer you the only bargain Iâm willing to make.â
I can feel my legs shaking.
âI donât need an offer, I swear.â Tears fall from my eyes and hit my chest. âIâll do whatever you want, forever. Te amaré para siempre y por siempre. Remember?â
â Ojalá fuera cierto!â He groans. âBut it isnât. You donât love me, Kitty. You love the figment of a man you used to know.â
I canât breathe.
âSo, hereâs your one-time offer, mi amor.â He pauses, rubbing a finger down my throat. âSign away your rights to my son, and leave. Donât come back, because I promise I wonât hesitate to kill you if you do.â
âGus please.â More tears fall. âI donât want to leave you.â
âYes, you do. You donât want to leave Pedro.â He bites back. âSo, you have two options. You can stay here, to be his mom; living in fear that one day Iâll snap that pretty little neck. Or you can leave now, and never show your face in my territory again. Iâll raise Pedro as my heir and heâll grow up without the burden of a weak-minded mother. Whatâs it going to be, Kitty?â
My body twitches, scaring me awake.
I wake up alone. The sun is peeking through the curtains of my room and I wince at it. Itâs 6:30am, my mother was on a plane around 7pm last night. Shouldnât she be here by now? Whatever, I canât think about that this early.
