They were wonderful.
She wanted to speak with Miguel and Roberto. In her heart, she knew just talking with them would somehow make her feel better.

Just as Roberto closed his suitcase, his cell buzzed. He looked at the caller ID and saw Cami’s name. “Everything okay, sweetheart?”
“Yes and no. I’m fine, but someone broke into my house.”
A protective anger rolled through him.
Miguel walked into his bedroom. “The driver is waiting. My suitcase is already in—”
“Hold on, hermano. Camille is on the phone. Something happened at her house.” He put his phone on speaker. “Miguel and I are listening, mi amor.”
She told them about the ripped dress. “The police are going to check on Hank’s whereabouts for me.”
Miguel’s blood began to burn hot. If that bastard got within a mile of her, he would rip his heart out and serve it to him on a platter. “Camille, are the police still there?”
“No. They just left.”
“You’re not alone, are you?” Miguel asked.
“No. Toni and Izzy are here with me. I was wondering if I could have Izzy drop me off at your place. That way we could go to the airport together.”
“Honey, hang tight.” He grabbed his suitcase. “I would rather Miguel and I pick you up. We will be there in ten minutes.”
“Okay. Thanks.”
“Sweetheart, try to relax,” Miguel said, as they ran down the stairs to the garage. “We’re going to take care of you.”
“You can count on us,” he added. “We won’t let you down.”
Chapter Thirteen
Looking out her window, Cami sipped the wine that Izzy had poured for her while Toni was getting Peanut’s things put into a bag. Her own bags were packed and ready to go. Her mind wasn’t on the trip ahead but on the shredded black dress still on her bed.
“What about this toy, Cami?” Toni held up the stuffed elephant.
She grinned. “It’s one of his favorites, but you’ve already packed a bunch he likes.”
Toni bent down and patted Peanut on the head. “Auntie Toni wants this little guy to enjoy his sleepover with her cousin Tasha.”
“Thank you so much for this.”
“It’s my pleasure.” Toni was as crazy about dogs as she was. Cami loved Toni’s black lab, Tasha, who had such a sweet temperament.
“I hope Peanut isn’t any trouble.”
“Honey, you know how well our dogs get along, and even though Tasha is so much bigger than him, he’s always the boss when he comes to my place.”
When she saw the limo pull up in front of her house and Miguel and Roberto step out, she felt a wave of relief sweep over her. “My bodyguards just arrived.”
When she opened the door, Miguel and Roberto rushed to her, wrapping their arms around her.
“Camille, are you really okay?” Miguel asked. His and Roberto’s faces were filled with concern.
