Cruel Heart 19
I've been to other parties like this one, and I know the real reason they exist: For alliances and help. I participated in several in Central America, where one of the traditional families, the Berruti, performed to exchange favors. And I never liked any of that. The good part this time is that I wouldn't be the only one to dislike these parties, not least because Marga made it clear that she hates acting like an exemplary lady - which we will clearly have to prove to be.We set up in different houses. They would meet us already at the party. And Celina, as much as I don't like it, will have to go along with our father.I finish putting on the diamond jewelry set, the only ones I thought would go with the navy blue dress I'm wearing. I finish putting on the earrings and stand up in front of the dressing table, looking at myself in the mirror.My face is perfect, the professional make-up hasn't even left a mark from yesterday's slap. My hair was left loose, and I swept it back, cove

The look of the man in front of me shows nothing but hatred. On the one hand I understand it, but on the other there are no reasons. We stare at each other in silence and I swallow hard.“It sounds like you've adjusted pretty well to the world you never wanted. - She broke the silence with bitterness in her voice.“Some things happen. - I say and feel a pain in my throat.Lucca Berruti, the man who hates me to infinity, glares at me. His face tightens and he takes a step forward, but I don't move a finger back. He's shorter than me by a few inches, but now in heels, I look a lot taller. Just lower my gaze, staring at him.“I refuse to believe that Gabriel was fooled by a fake like you. - Spit out the words. — She cried at having to marry Kaanadan but seems incredibly happy next to him.— First: I'm not fake. Second: I never lied to your son. "I look into your eyes. “Gabriel wanted out of this world as much as I did…it's not my fault he didn't want to follow in his father's career

Sincerely? I wanted to say that I pushed him, that I didn't return the kiss, and that I even punched his beautiful face.But the moment his lips collided with mine, I just lost it. It's the same feeling of receiving something you knew you were craving. Which of course wasn't on purpose... at least not on my part.I responded with all the words to his kiss, not a romantic kiss like in the books, but dominant, intense and possessive. My hands grabbed her jacket, pulling it towards me, and Kaanadan pressed his body against mine, wrestling me with the shelf full of books. His tongue dove into my lips, tangling with mine without even giving me a chance to think through what we were doing. Better what I'm doing. Her taste was a little bitter from some kind of drink, but there was also something sweet like some kind of candy, whatever. Her rigid body oozed strength and heat as she held me closer. Her hand slid from the back of my neck into my hair, pulling me closer to her and deepening th

Everything is silent, like this since we got home.I leave the bathroom after removing all my makeup and changing for bed. Kaanadan stands in front of the wardrobe, pulling out the weapons strapped to his bare torso. I look away quickly, heading for the bed.Silence.Ever since he tried to get something out of the conversation with my uncle in the car, silence was the most absolute character present between the two of us. Sometimes his eyes looked at me discreetly in order for me to say something. I knew. But I just couldn't. You can't say something that serious when you're not sure. I couldn't risk coming off as fake.I sat on the bed and looked at my lap. Victorio's words stuck in my head:"I'm pretty sure Fiore is the traitor... He's in control of everything Kaanadan thinks, acts, plans. Don't you think it's strange that a group of rebels know everything that happens to Kaanadan without anyone else with him being in it?" middle? I need you to observe him. I need you to help me

- Anything else? the woman from the jewelry store asks as she passes a blue sapphire earring at the register.- No, thank you. - I say sympathetically.She puts the jewel in a black velvet bag and hands it to me. I already pay quickly, turning around and joining the bags of clothes Damiano holds. Scott only holds the shoes.“Come on, boys. - I say and smile.They both look at each other and follow me.With the boredom that I was at home, after taking a morning run, I decided to go out to do some shopping. Of course, I have new clothes that I had to buy for my move to Washington, but there was something specific that I had to focus on. Yes, those strips of cloth that I was told were nightgowns. I renewed it for something I would really enjoy wearing, and I also took the opportunity to buy some gifts for Gina and Celina. Gina because in a week it's her birthday. Celina because I'm sure she would come and kill me if I didn't send her something too.I get in the car, watching Scott

With the drink in my veins, my fear and shyness disappear from my body. For hours my head just follows the music, my hips the rhythm, my hands my body, and I'm shaped in various ways as the music plays.Again I look at the VIP area. Kaanadan looks at me seriously, so seriously that my body shivers from his brutal gaze. I don't deny that it looks sexy when it's like this. Even more so when it's for something I reinforce to insist on doing.I turn to him and continue to dance, sliding my hands down my body and locking my eyes in the direction of his above. I dance for him, and he knows it. I turn to my back and continue my movements, losing focus when I meet his gaze as soon as I look at him. Igniting more my desire for revenge.I don't have a lush body. I have breasts that are full in relation to my body, and a little wide hips. Nothing fancy but decent enough to get what I want.I look at Marga and see her having fun with Silvério, who has seriously approached her. I bet it's from

Kaanadan's eyes looked at me further than was possible. My poor heart would have a heart attack quickly if this continued. His blue eyes and serious was the symbol of a predator, while I had my breathing heavy, and a position identical to a prey.I took a deep breath and deviated from his body, moving away from it. I walked over to the pool table and ran my hand through my hair, forcing myself to look back at Kaanadan.“Look, I just wanted to take it out on what you did to me. - I try to explain. 'Nothing's going to happen, and whatever you've got planned, I think you'd better give it up.'- To give up?- Exactly.He looks at me and I return the look. God, what a look...I look to another corner and Kaanadan approaches, I look back to scold him, but he pulls me in a way that my body breaks down, and then he doesn't hesitate to kiss me in his voracious and intense way. I force myself to refuse to accept. Not to give in. Not corresponding. But then he threads his fingers into my h

KAANADAN SALVATOREIt's been two weeks since you had that chase.I wake up with the cold arrival of autumn, which seems to chill the room a little more. I turn around and Celeste is still sleeping, she stays away when she sleeps, but I thank her for accepting to play sometimes. Like yesterday. I watch her for a while and then sigh, ready to get up.I sit up in bed and massage my temples. I don't know how many times I've slept in the last month, maybe five times I've been able to really rest. It affects my head, which starts to throb, and it affects my mood, which doesn't seem to wake up very well. My cell phone vibrates on the end table and I pick it up, answering it right away."Say it, Silverio." —I try to keep my voice as sleepy as possible.“Twenty dead in one night. This time it was the Russians. Informants saw a tattoo on the neck of several. It was their brand. - He says and by the voice, he seems tired too.Sigh.I get out of bed, putting on my sandals and head to the ba

Cruel Heart Epilogue
KAANADAN SALVATOREI'm still getting used to the fact that the twins were finally born, getting used to the deep look they both have and the lightness they give us when looking at them. I honestly can't help but smile, but I also can't show it in a sensitive way to the entire organization.Ever since I found out I was twins, I couldn't let go of the thought that both of them should rightfully have a high position of power in my organization — and that now they belong to them, too —, with that, I'm happy that the future Dei Capi is a boy, but I see a bigger change when also having a girl. However, this would not change my decision — due to several factors — and after years of being betrayed by outsiders, I was even more certain that this position had to be filled by someone from the family.The large open corridor gave me the image of the ground floor, where the entire room was full of soldiers and allies of the organization, everyone waiting and talking, g
Cruel Heart 88
CELESTE "SALVATORE"I woke up with discomfort in my body, which made me roll over in bed and notice Kaanadan still behind me, sleeping peacefully while his arm was underneath my giant belly. Freeing myself from the weight a little, I sat up in bed and noticed that it was still night, which made me feel strange since after pregnancy I rarely woke up in the middle of the night.The discomfort was so exhausting that my entire body ached. I touched my belly, feeling only slight movements, something that always happens when babies move, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing but my heavy body.I got up due to the lack of sleep the situation left me with and covered myself with a robe, leaving the room and heading towards the stairs. I went down slowly, carefully and went to the kitchen, finding Ada drinking tea. Upon seeing me, she hurried towards me.— Are you okay, Heaven? — She held me and ran her hand over my face, brushing the bangs of hair out of my fa

KAANADAN SALVATOREMonths later...The city overcame the attack and returned to being great Washington, all the rubble returned to the way it was before that hellish war and the allied organizations persisted in a permanent peace treaty between us, as did China and Russia, which after the deaths of Chuang and Romanov, we managed to use positive points to end our rivalry seriously and with a treaty sealed in documents. The company has already recovered and after the attack it received more global knowledge and more sponsors and more income — in other words, more success. It seems that the light after the storm has finally arrived, making everything lighter and more comfortable.It's great to be in power again. It's incredible to have my control in my hands and know everything that's mine without fear of losing it suddenly. After the war, I gained more territories and managed to further expand my power in the mafia, to be even bigger than it already was and
Cruel Heart 86
The truth is that Dani was right, we should have known what was going through Gabriel's head. So we each went in a different direction, he went to Rafaelle and I went to Romanov and Chuang. I was very afraid that things would go wrong, but I really believe that the "no" I already have, so all the misfortune is already here and I just have to change it.When we spoke in an area that they covered and protected, they both agreed to the kidnapping and soon became responsible for it, pulling soldiers and leaving me alone in an area lit by car headlights and where it slowly attracted people. At the moment I had no idea where Gabriel was, until Daniel's voice sounded in my ear and he gave me his location.Well, I got to him... I managed to fill his head and come out unscathed in that war, in fact, I made a deal with the war, the mafias that were fighting to escape at that time gave their own words that they would protect me— and they did. No bullet hit me and several of Kaanadan'
Cruel Heart 85
The day dawned lightly while the movement in the hospital was chaos among the injured, dead and survivors. The war had finally come to an end, everything was over and as impossible as it was to believe, I was the one who ended it. In all the news programs, the chaos of the war was explained, along with the police investigating everything and the city itself trying to get back on its feet after last night's nightmare. The fact is that it would take us a while to get back to normal, but now all of Washington knows about a local mafia, a mafia that they have no idea who commands, but they know is among them.While Kaanadan finished putting the last stitches on his body, I rested on a sofa. I was fine, I had a few light scratches and the babies were still intact in my belly, I think the only shock I have is the psychological shock, since I still can't believe that I killed Gabriel with my own hands... that I saw him die and on top of that I became the real culprit for his dea
Cruel Heart 84
KAANADAN SALVATORE— Sir, three bases recovered, we closed the gates with passwords and we have already set up the external traps. — I hear it from the point, coming from a soldier.— Casino.— Still no signal, no one has given answers...I continue to climb one of the buildings, so I can see the territory better and sigh.— Okay, head to the mansion, we'll hold off their soldiers here.— Okay, sir.I approach a window and look at the entire street in flames. I clutch my stomach, feeling discomfort from the bullet still stuck in my flesh, but I'm finished in several places and I feel like I can receive even more, taking into account the large flow of shots that are taking place down there.Several allies died, soldiers don't even speak to each other, the explosions took more than was desirable and the few who are alive are at an unfair amount with their rivals. Of course, this war will only be won if they die or give up, but especially i
Cruel Heart 83
CELESTE BRANDÃO— The bases are full and the soldiers are already in the buildings. — Daniel narrates, while I analyze the sheets of Gabriel's plan further.— The sky is not completely black yet. Is it still possible to see there? — I question and look at him.— Yes. But everyone will probably go by car.— Even better, they're armored. Or at least I think Kaanadan wouldn't be ridiculous enough to use a normal car for war.We opened more screens adapted in a warehouse at the back of one of the buildings and then I have all the images of the war. The largest adapted commando is the one I have, along with Daniel and two others from Gabriel who left in a few moments to get the weapons that were left in the car. We can listen to the soldiers, we see the war through cameras attached to their clothes or in the buildings themselves, we have weapons for protection, traps with bombs outside and we are still aware of the entire control of the war.Gabr

KAANDAN SALVATORE— Just trust her. I'm not going to say it's an easy thing to take on your wife's impulsive side, but I know she won't fail in this requirement. The lives of many are at stake.Rafaelle's voice sounded while I was drinking a whiskey in the living room, at the same time as both Victório and Gregório did the same on the opposite sofa.— I thought you didn't like my sister, Rafaelle; who only respected her for the organization. — Gregório commented, as he brought the low glass towards his mouth for a new sip.Rafaelle sighed. — Look, I'm not saying that Celeste is something easy for an impatient person, but she knew how to make many people respect and admire her. — I look at him, seeing him still firm. — She was a good Capo. If they claim that she is on our side, I believe it.— The problem is not believing, but knowing if her plan will work. The end of the afternoon is approaching, the attack will begin and we have no exit plans. —
Cruel Heart 81
Covered only by a robe, I appeared at the table outside on the yacht's side balcony, where Kaanadan was setting dinner. He was no different from me, but for some reason he was in a clear battle between being tense and calm — I understood him, to tell the truth — so I approached him and kissed his shoulder, seeing his face turn towards me. and the same smile weakly.- Hungry? — Fun question.— Totally... — Rio.I sit down, propping my back against the protective barrier, feeling the night breeze hit my face and make my skin tingle from the cold.The yacht was lit by yellow lamps and the table had a mouth-watering dinner — which, even unbeknownst to me, was made by Kaanadan. Then I saw him sit next to me, putting his arm around my back, while I helped myself to everything.Finally, Kaanadan also accompanied me to dinner and, with all this, he seemed to think in distress. I know he doesn't want to talk, but his own mind is eating at him and it makes me a little
