My heart raced in anticipation as we drove out of the gate. Ruiz’s words replayed in my head. “You have so much to lose if you try to do anything funny, I’m choosing to trust you, so please, do not make me regret my decision.”
It sounded like he was pleading with me but it was actually kind of a mixture of a threat and a warning. I didn’t even plan on trying to escape because first of all, he brought up the suggestion on short notice and I also needed to gain his trust.
I was going to listen to him and just enjoy my day with my siblings. Ruiz made sure I was accompanied by a good number of security guards.
Even if he claimed to trust me, he still had his doubts so he wanted to be extra cautious. I mean, no one would trust someone after murdering their parents.
