misdalia-canchila-ortega13.11.2025, 18:32I think the bad guy in all of this is Julien, I get that feeling.

The father deserved to find out what happened with his wife's death and his daughter's kidnapping. I didn't like what happened to him.

Ch. 31 I wish it were a dream or rather a nightmare. It can't be that the dad is dead, I can't make heads or tails of all this.

Ch. 14 This man is like a little kid, he took his fling to the new apartment which was supposed to be just for him, and now he's coming up with nonsense.
