"Where is Millie?"I blurt out. "We have to get her. What have they done to her?"

Bernadette is holding Julieta. She's having a panic attack and mumbling in Spanish, but it's mixed with her tears, so it comes out choked.

"Millie is in Bermuda with Penelope and Axel," Kalim says.

I put my hand over my heart. "Thank God. The President threatened Julieta and said he would kill her."

Kalim's eyes widen. "Do you speak Spanish?"

"Yes, why?"

He points to Julieta. "That's not Julieta."

Chills run through my body. "What? Of course it is."

He shakes his head.

"Kalim?" Malin asks.

"That is Julieta's twin sister. She had a daughter with Goliath."

I swallow hard.

The color in Malin's face drains. "The Guatemalan drug lord?"

"Yes. I need you to translate for me, Emilia."

"Okay."

"Please tell her we have her daughter. She is safe, and we will take her to her."

"How?"

"Please translate first."

"Oh, sorry." I turn to Julieta then turn back to Kalim. "What is her name?"

"Josie."

She looks up at the mention of her name. I translate what Kalim said, and she wails, but this time, it's not in fear. Bernadette pulls her closer.

I start to cry, too. Relieved that Millie is safe and so is Josie's daughter.

The helicopter lands. There's a private jet waiting next to us.

"You must go now," Kalim says.

The second helicopter arrives. Gustave gets out, and it takes off.

Malin's body stiffens.

"Oh, thank God," Bernadette whispers, and tears fall down her face. She gets out and runs over to him, and he embraces her as she sobs.

"Tell Josie to go with you. Her daughter is waiting for her. When you land, a car will be waiting to take you to the house," Kalim says.
