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."
