Both Javier and Ellie do have one thing in common which is their hate and disgust for Travis. It is what fuels them together to act and plot revenge. Through this captivating suspense, for some reason I don’t hate or like Javier. A part of me feels that he does indeed love Ellie but another part of me is cautious of this love.
