Chapter 10 - One Year After the Shed, Camila Returned Home and Told Me the One Thing I Had Been Afraid to Hear—She Wanted Me to Stop Protecting Her Like She Was Still a ChildCamila was twenty-two.

She came home.

We sat on the terrace.

“Dad.”

“Yes?”

“You still have men following me.”

I smiled.

“Maybe.”

“I know.”

She laughed.

“You're impossible.”

“I worry.”

“I know.”

“But you don't need to.”

I looked at her.

She continued:

“I survived.”

“You did.”

“I want you to live too.”

That sentence hit me.

I had spent years protecting her.

Maybe it was time to protect her by letting go.

I agreed.

My security team was reduced.

My old world disappeared further.

I became simply her father.

That was harder than being a crime boss.

But much better.
