“This is my fault,” Alejandro said.
“How do you figure that?” Reuben asked.
“I should have taken care of Abel for good.”
“No. We both made that decision. We thought his life would be more miserable behind bars with no one and nothing to his name. This is on both of us.”
Alejandro’s phone rang, and he answered it, scowling. “What do you mean cops raided the house? How? Did they have a warrant? Fucking hell. Fuck. Yes! We’ll go straight to the police station.”
Fury engulfed Alejandro’s face as he turned to Reuben. “We need to get rid of this police chief.”
“What’s happened?”
“Some cops turned up at the house.”
“Did they have a warrant? Are the girls okay?”
“They had some trumped-up fucking charges against Rafael.”
Fuck.
“Which means they could search any area under his control for their own safety,” Reuben muttered.
“I don’t think they searched far. But Cat lost her temper as they were arresting him.”
Fuck. Fuck.
“She’s been arrested as well. We need to get to the police station. Now.”
“Faith?” Reuben asked.
“She’s back at the house with Bernard and several of my men. She’s safe.”
He drew out his phone.
“R-reuben?” she said as she answered his call.
He hated the fear in her voice. She should have been safe, having fun with Cat in their pillow fort. Not dealing with this.
“I’m here, baby. Listen to me. I have to go to the police station to deal with what’s happened. I want you to stay with Bernard.”
“But I can help?—”
“No, Faith,” he said firmly. “Stay there.”
“But you don’t understand?—”
“I have to go, baby. Stay there. I love you.”

Irritation filled Faith as the phone went dead.
She paced up and down the kitchen. Bernard was making them both a cup of tea to soothe them. But tea wasn’t going to cut it.
Her heart was racing, and she felt so jumpy.
All she could remember was the cops demanding entrance. Bernard had tried to call Alejandro, but they’d been insistent, and he’d had no choice but to let them in. Several of Alejandro’s men had appeared with them, protecting her and Cat. But when they’d gotten rough with Rafael, Cat had snapped.
