Cecile uttered, a mocking smile tugging her lips as she stared at Carlos with scorn. "If you want to get back at me, you shouldn't involve my mate's life in this, Cecile!" Carlos fired back at her as he shot her a furious gaze. "I already told you that even if you try to hide and protect your mate, she's still not safe, didn't I?"
