— 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.GabrRelated chapters

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 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

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'

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.

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
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 1
Dad's car had just arrived. Stopping in front of the lawn, he got out of the car alongside his men of honor. Or Doormats. The same looked even more serious than yesterday upon receiving a call from one of the Death Knight's men. All dinner stopped at that moment, as well as my appetite that went from 100 to 0 in a few seconds of conversation. My heart was racing and my hands were pounding even more when Dad could only say, "yes," "sure," "um-rum." Never making it clear what would really happen.What would happen to me in this final stretch.I cross my arms and stop looking at the window, turning around and seeing Celina, my younger sister, sprawled on the couch. She knows what I think, maybe even what I'm going to say. If I go."He won't tell you if he doesn't ask." — Celina contains no speech from him. She gets up and walks towards me."He won't say even if I ask." - I do. It's a truth I've come to know since everything I wanted to build was demolished before it even became a real

My head was racing. I snort looking at the ceiling and once again I became Celeste Brandão, just sixteen years old on a turbulent night...Papa's soldiers quickly ascended the stairs. Victório, Papa's consigliere, followed by the telephone. I got scared with all that movement and preferred to lock myself in the library.Celina was already keeping me company for a while, and now she sleeps in my lap. I sigh, unable to concentrate on the book I'm reading, knowing nothing would change, I put it aside. I rest my head on the armchair as the library door opens. Ginny walks in with a tentative smile on her face."Is there a problem, Ginny?" - I turned to her.The tall woman had her hair down, something that revealed she was out of the house. Probably with Dad.Ginny didn't deny or agree, moving out of the library without turning her back on me for even a minute and then her blue eyes fixed on me. "Your father wants to speak with you." Let's go.I didn't.I carefully lifted Celina's he

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
