Chapter 112

  Araceli POV

  I was in the middle of a meeting. Suddenly, my cell phone vibrated and the screen lit up.

  "I'll be downstairs at your office in ten minutes."

  Raphael texted.

  I froze for a moment.

  What was he doing coming to see me?

  Soon another text came through.

  "I promised Valeria I'd pick her up from school today."

  I put my phone down and made my way back to my office after summarizing the meeting.

  I cleaned up my desk and lifted my bag, ready to go downstairs and wait for Raphael.

  That was when my cell phone vibrated.

  It was Eliezer calling.

  "Araceli, I heard that two men were outside your window last night trying to come in and kidnap Valeria and Krish. Is this true?"

  I froze.

  "Eliezer, how do you know this?"

  "The men I arranged for today found a shell casing when they were weeding your yard."

  Eliezer sighed and said, "Araceli, why don't you move back in with Grandma? It would be safer for you and the kids."
