Chapter 36

A few hours earlier. 

Finding out that his family had ties with the Black family, Carlos felt cheated. Though now that he thought about it, no one had ever lied to him about the two families having nothing to do with each other. He simply never paid enough to his family to find out. 

He was frustrated and somehow he thought it was his fault. Kara's questions finally made sense.

What were the chances that the murder attempt on Shera was made by his family, who orchestrated everything to ensure he was able to save her, and what would they gain from that?
