Cruel Heart 23
- 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

I woke up when I felt a certain cold. My sleepy eyes swept across the room, finding Kaanadan standing in a corner of the room. It's dark except for the faint yellow light of a lamp on a table next to Kaanadan, and it's just enough for me to see his bare torso sprawled with cuts and stitches. The biggest ones are on the belly and a single one under the ribs, also the only ones with stitches. I gasped when I saw blood still oozing from some cuts.That was enough for her gaze to come to me. My breath hitched. Her gaze was cold and gloomy... terrible, if it's any clearer. I thought I'd already known his dreaded look, in that engagement, That the look that for years haunted me was the ultimate of shadows, but... this one is worse.I swallowed and then sat down on the bed. "Kanadan..."- Go back to sleep. Her voice was harsh, cutting me off quickly with a hoarse, tired sound. It looks like it hurts, since right after, he touches his own throat.I feel a different fear invade me, but I i

— I don't know what you think, but you certainly don't understand my reality right now. — I say on the video call with Victorio.Since the subject of distrust in Fiore reigned, I figured I was in for a moment to have to announce it to my uncle. I waited for Kaanadan to leave, then started the call. In Portuguese, it is clear that neither Damiano nor Scott will listen. Or understand. They're also too tired to focus on me and not their cuts and stitches.I get ready on the bed in the room, where I am at the moment.“Celeste, this is not a hot topic. It has to be in person - He says seriously, making me snort.This plan of wanting to be in Brazil again makes me certain that it will complicate my life more than adjust it. It would be good in parts, but the other part would be terrible. I can't risk it."Do you think Kaanadan will let you?" Uncle, we know not. You'd better make sure you come, because I very much doubt I'll leave.“Blame it on your sister's birthday. It's a week from

— No. Celina hates me, why would I let her in my house?Lunch has already arrived, our plates are half full, and our conversation remains low but sharp. I stare at Kaanadan in confusion. He looks at me seriously.Yes, there went the good weather."Because she's my sister!" - I respond quickly. “It's her birthday and I want to be with her. Either let her come or I will.Kaanadan looks at me more seriously. I still don't give up.“Neither one nor the other. Full stop."Kaanadan, thank me for asking..." I threaten. “She comes with you whether you like it or not. In a way, the house is also mine and by right, I can put whoever I want in there!"Not without my permission.""Then you better give it to me."Fury. We looked at each other with fury in our eyes. I wonder what would happen if he also knew that Victorio comes with the baggage of this matter. But for starters, I just need confirmation.Kaanadan goes back to eating and I do the same. But even the taste is no longer the sa

Celina got a ticket for three days later. She was anxious, as was I, even though my greatest tension is the arrival of Victorio. Of course, suppose Kaanadan has a nervous breakdown, he couldn't throw me out of the house, right? Especially because he couldn't stand my sister and uncle alone.I hope so...It was already dark when we arrived at the airport. The car stopped in front of us and together with Scott, we went to look for Celina and Victorio who had certainly already arrived. Or are almost there. The cold made me huddle more tightly in the top, while Scott still looked at me tensely.“He won't freak out. - I say almost to myself, seeing him not agreeing with that statement.“Kaanadan will kill you when he sees Victoria here. Three Savoia in a Salvatore's house? This is crazy...I look at him seriously. “He can't do anything. He has an alliance with my family.“But there's nothing to prove that Kaanadan accepted that any Savoia other than you sleep in the penthouse he live

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
