Cruel Heart 52
Invaded by his hot kisses, we staggered into the penthouse. A quick thought before Kaanadan attacked me right there in the restaurant. The lights were all off, I heard the elevator doors close and lock with the security key. The only light that gave us support to walk around the house was certainly the glimpses of the city lights and other apartments around.Kaanadan almost made me forget why we were in this. His kisses are already perfect, but I must admit that when you're not afraid to give in to your desires, even my senses say goodbye.His tongue was already pulling mine with such ferocity that my body was already on fire, if not the very replica of a volcano about to erupt. I didn't even see when my bag disappeared from my hands and I was lying on the couch, feeling his sexy body on top of mine.Put some order, Celeste, or you'll be the one being bribed here...I hold Kaanadan's face and move our lips a few inches apart. — Calm down, okay... I almost feel like I'm going to ru

I'm still drowsy when I return to my room after taking delivery from the bakery next to the building. As much as I slept, I can't say in detail that I slept as normal every night — perhaps I didn't sleep at all — ... but I also can't say that I didn't like it...As soon as I enter the room, I see Kaanadan's suit set already placed on the armchair in the corner of the room, which I assume as soon as he leaves the bathroom, he won't think much about getting dressed and going back to work. I head towards where he is, seeing him as soon as I approach the door, he is facing the mirror while shaving himself.Standing out in the black bathroom, he doesn't remove the full beard that shapes his face, he just trims the ends and, with the shaving machine, cleans some of the hair on the way to his neck. His bare torso having just gotten out of the shower and the towel wrapped around his hips makes him very attractive to the eyes. I must admit that looking at Kaanadan, even with his brutal struc

KAANADAN SALVATORE- You did what???Victório's voice sounds on the call. Amazed. Petrified. Incredulous, perhaps.— I beat him. — I say calmly. — I beat him until he shut up and his blood stained my floor. But I left him alive... I think.In my office, that is, in the middle of the night, I adjust myself in the armchair carefully so as not to hurt as much as my injuries already did. I had already showered, changed my clothes for something less tight and closed myself in the work room while I was sure everyone in the house had already fallen asleep.I don't really know what happened to Celeste during the time I was away, either at the company, or at the casino, or just at the hospital finishing the last aid for the cuts; but as soon as I arrived, she was already asleep, along with everyone who only left the hallway light on for me.Victório sighs on the other end of the call and says:— Kaanadan, this will only make things worse...- He came here. — I say firmly, tapping my fi

The car stopped in the middle of the lawn in front of the house. A two-story house, a cliché rich country house, with a super green lawn right at the entrance — with trees in each corner and plants beautifying each place —, dark varnished wood climbing the area, highlighting the white walls and rustic windows, different on the second floor, where they are made of glass.I leave quickly, without even a trace of tears and a wide smile to meet Gina. We hugged tightly, as if somehow she could protect me from my father, even though she didn't even know it.As we walked away, we looked at each other; your hands touching my face with a maternal touch.— Ah, Heaven... you are so beautiful. — He says, as if I had actually changed a lot during these months. — She's just pale.I shake my head, feeling Santiago's gaze from afar. —Bullshit, Gina. Back in Washington I barely got any sun... I think that affects my known color here.We laugh.- Good! —Say, we turn around. — We're waiting for yo

— On August 19, 2007, Celeste Brandão de Carvalho Savoia was found dead in the backyard of her home. All the expertise led to the conclusion of a fall from the window, from the second floor to the place where the body was found. The case was closed with the conclusion of a possible suicide, which was confirmed by the husband present at the scene and the couple's second eldest daughter, also present. Some new information made us reopen the case, that's why we're here... we want to know everything that happened, everything you remember about what happened in that house 14 years ago.The voice of the police officer in charge of the case rings out through the large room occupied by just the two of us. Everything is tense, especially because today I had the same conversation as yesterday with my father...I tap my thumbs together on my lap, trying to keep my breathing at least calm. Well, I think this is a bit impossible to be... but I try. I take a deep breath and exhale lightly, leavin

The surname Savoia not only carries a title of wealth, but also of rules, rules that are either our concern or our prison. One of them is: Keep the family always together in one home. And well, it was already brutally broken this morning.Gregório's car was heading to the beach house, far from ours, where my nightmare woke him up. The streets were lit only by streetlights and not a soul, other than ours, wandered here.I was still tormented, maybe that's why I didn't want to complain about that decision. But Dad will kill us when he wakes up and sees this.He will kill me for being so weak under my own background.As much as I deny it, I know the consequences of staying there. Everything in that house reminds me of the worst day of my life, the worst moment and the worst situation I witnessed when I still couldn't imagine what it was like to have blood on your own hands.I felt guilty.Everything was already present in my family field. I grew up with the image of a smiling mothe

I barely slept that night, I knew that convincing anyone to let me go back to Washington was something much more complicated to deal with — especially when the main thing was my father.The main event would be around a week from now, but in that time the small bait event would already take place to attract new big names in state power and perhaps even in the country. What will happen today.So we can say that the problem is much deeper...I closed the car door, turning to grab the belt and pull it across my body as I sat in the gray passenger seat.— You know he won't accept it silently, right?Júlio's voice sounded as the car moved away from the beach house. I looked at the sun starting to rise over the horizon and nodded, turning my face towards the oldest man, who was driving calmly. On the outside, of course.— That's why I'm doing this, I know that if I ask for the answer it will be correct. Denial will be accurate.Júlio lets out a tense air. — Going in secret is never th

The day dawned too quickly for me, I barely managed to sleep and soon I was up, ready for a meeting and soon inside one of the organization's cars, driven by Damiano.The city was already busy, people were walking calmly through last night's snowfall. I had never seen snow up close, today was the first time, but... I expected it to be a lively and happy meeting, nothing like now, tense and worried. As a new rain of snow began to fall calmly, I laid my head on the bench and took a deep breath, closing my eyes for a few seconds.— What will be the solution? — I heard Damiano ask quietly.The concern in his voice was so clear that I could feel the butterflies in my stomach becoming a thousand times more intense. My hands ring and my heart squeezes. In fact, I came determined to bring Kaanadan, but the reality is... I have no idea how to do this without having to risk my head on the gallows.— There's no... — I replied as quietly as your voice.Silence becomes present and we continue

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
Cruel Heart 82
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
