Axel I was feeling so nervous, my heart was pounding against my ribcage and my palms were sweaty and threatening to shake. I take a deep breath seeking self-control and the composure that this moment needed. I gave Yesenia the time she needed to get her head together, even though she was bleeding inside. This time just made me realize how precious she was in my life, Yvy had become a vital part of me and I was scared of what she would say today. I knock on the door and she opens it, wearing simple spaghetti strap pajamas and baggy pants, she was beautiful no matter what, whether wearing that tight pantsuit that made her look appetizing or pajamas. “Hey,” she says and wrings her hands in front of her, as if not more nervous than I am. “Come in." I enter her house and wait for her to close the door, I accompany her to the door and we sit on the sofa, she takes a folder that was on the coffee table and squeezes it in her hands."Thank you for coming." “You know I would come the
Axel My mouth starts to water as I watch Yvy's darkened halo and nipple hardened by the cold wind coming from the bedroom balcony, her already large breasts now no longer fit in a bra, she adhered to the tops to better support both of them hills I idolized. They were heavy and the veins were visible, if they were already like that at five months of pregnancy, I couldn't imagine how they would look at nine months. She was enjoying all the transformations in her body that was harboring my son. A boy who would be raised to take charge one day, but he wouldn't be raised the way I was. The difference between me and my father is that he didn't love me, and if he did, he never showed it. He loved this child that was growing in the womb of the woman I adored, feeling him move became the highlight of my day, he was a strong boy who didn't give Yvy much rest. I cover her breasts with the sheet and get up, there was an hour before dawn, but my mind was restless and I couldn't sleep anymor
Axel “Yvy?" I answer the flame, however, it is not his voice that I hear. "Is it Axel?" Yesenia's boyfriend? "Yes, is everything okay?" I get up nervously with a bad feeling. "Yesenia went to the bathroom in the restaurant, but she didn't come back. I found her cell phone in the hallway and there's a sign of a fight in the bathroom, the police have already been called…" I hang up and call Cosmo, my hands barely holding the phone."Put everyone on the street looking for Yesenia" I say and hang up quickly, he will know what to do. Access the tracking system on the computer, but Yvy simply disappeared. [...] Yesenia. "You can go, close the door on your way out" I hear a female voice, I open my eyes and close them instantly when I feel pain just for the simple act of opening my eyes. I try again and when I open them I see a woman dressed completely in black, a gun landed on the table beside her and she was staring at me "Until it didn't take long to wake up" her cold voice l
Yesenia “Go away,” I say and stagger over to the table, picking up the gun. He watches me closely and approaches pointing to what appears to be the safety lock. “Go now,” I ask again, feeling weaker and weaker. I was afraid I was going to pass out, the blood loss was taking its toll. The boy leaves the room and I faint in the chair waiting for the return of the woman who destroyed my life, the image kept repeating itself in my mind at all times. Her small chest struggling to expand. The breaths slowing down until it was gone. I would never know what color her eyes were, if she had the same skin tone as her father, if she had hair as dark as mine. Her father ... A laugh escapes my throat, what a nightmare. All because of power. The door opens and there she is, staring at me in astonishment and staring intently at the gun in my drooping hand. "That cursed boy…" she murmurs, but soon resumes her determined and feline composure, as if she commanded everything, but now “I” had
Axel “I want Cain to be buried here.” Yesenia points to the first tree that stands beside the stony entrance to the forest. A tree with leaves in yellowish, green and red tones "I don't want to put it in a cemetery, I want it to stay close to US" I sign and put the bag with her hospital belongings on the table that is on the edge of the pool. "Can you bring it to me?" I take the small coffin from the office and go back to the pool area, set the coffin on the table and sit next to Yvy. She takes a deep breath and opens the lid. He's just the way I left him, with my suit wrapped around his little body, if I didn't know he was dead I could say he was just sleeping. “Maybe he'd have a chance if he went to the.. .” She takes her tiny hand and pats it. “I'll always love him.""We will always love you" I say and take your other little hand feeling the soft skin "And we will always have you here, with us." [...] Yesenia For the next half hour Axel dug a grave for us to put Cain in a
Axel I feel Yesenia trying to disentangle herself from my arms and I open my eyes to see her sit up in bed and let out a tired sigh, neither of us have been sleeping very well these past two weeks, the weight on our minds has left us constantly exhausted and would not let us sleep. “Yvy? "You can go back to sleep, I'm fine" I sit up and wrap my arms around her waist resting my head on her shoulder, she stared at the open porch watching the place where our son was buried. “It's hard to sleep knowing she's down in the basement.” She looks down and I follow her eyes to her milk-stained blouse. “And my breasts are constantly hurting, so much wasted milk.""I'm going to get the inhaler" I kiss the side of her face and get up from the bed "Try not to think about her, I know it's hard to ask this, but soon she'll leave here and go to a place made especially for her, where she'll spend the rest of her life. rest of your days." Athenia endured the hunger gnawing at her for 4 days, until
Axel "Today we are present here to celebrate the union of Yesenia Davis and Axel Devenuto in marriage" the justice of the peace says and I shake Yvy's hand, bringing a smile to her lips "Marriage should not be taken lightly, it is not just about the union of two bodies, but also of the union of two souls that will walk a long journey together throughout their lives" I admire Yvy's long, stunning white dress and the way it highlighted her heavy breasts, it was a simple dress, but perfect for the occasion "Before we proceed to the vows, would you like to say a few words?" We both nod and the justice of the peace encourages Yvy with his gaze to begin. "Cain has been gone for five months" she starts to say and looks up with a slight smile in her eyes watching the leaves move, the wind is stronger at that moment, it seems that he is here with us "And I'm sure he is happy to see her parents celebrating their union under the tree where she is resting" her eyes fill with tears and I clear
At some point in the future…"Persephone!!!" I hear my mom screaming my name. Could it be that she still doesn't understand that I was already a young lady and knew how to get by on my own?"I found you! My love, you know you can't come to the forest alone, only accompanied by me or your father" she stops in front of me breathing very fast and puts her hands behind her back, mother was always in pain lately and her big belly looked like it would fall to the ground it was so big! "I'm a young lady!" My papa said! "Honey, you're only 5 years old!" a beautiful butterfly with blue colors on its wings lands on my hand and I show it to Mom."Look, Mom, how beautiful!" "Is beautiful! Now let's go back and show it to your dad, how about that?" "Let's go, but I think Dad will like her like this" I squeeze the butterfly in my hand and it dies "Look how much better she looks like this, Mom" I proudly show her my work. “Oh my God…” Mum looks sad and I feel like crying. Why is she sad with me
Feeling I slowly open my eyes and stare at the pristine white walls of my room.Another day like the previous one.Days are never different, there are no surprises when you already know what to expect, but something told me that was about to change. I felt the turmoil in my chest, as if my days were numbered and the storm was coming, it would drown me in the blink of an eye and I would never make it to the surface.I huddle under the covers to keep the late February winter chill from reaching me. my heart was already frozen with the conversation I heard a few days ago, I didn't want the cold to take over the rest of my body too.Don Kingston Lucchese.I could only think of that name in the last few days, the hard face without any feeling haunted my mind day and night, giving me no rest or breaks.The few times I was with him, I felt invisible, like I was a fly he could swat at any moment. he was making a name for himself in town and he can have any wife he wants, maybe he's worrying
Kingston I take a deep drag on the cigarette while silently enjoying the agony of Thomas Ventura, who is currently being purified in the flames for all the sin and intransigence he has committed during the last few years as one of the most respected underboss in New York.the power managed to blind yet another man.Fools...Greed for power would only lead them to the grave.The seven underbosses formed a circle as they watched Thomas' last screams, none of them showing any pity for the underboss's fate, their faces wearing the mask of tranquility I knew so well.But inside? deep inside them maybe they were afraid, that fear would make them rethink their attitudes before committing something that would make me turn against them.I knew that everyone in that circle wanted my place, however, they didn't have enough strength and power to fight for the position against me.my lungs burn as I hold the nicotine inside them and I finally exhale, letting the intoxicating sensation reach my ne
Feeling 2020My stomach twists painfully when I look at the lavish table, a huge hypocrisy on my part, because there are many people on the streets of New York who are starving, but the feeling of disgust at seeing so much food is greater than any other feeling."Eat, Feel" My father says patiently, pointing to the table with a wide variety of food and meat. He hated eating red meat at night, he was always sick, it went down really badly in my stomach and my day started complicated to force something I didn't want.I start to grab some salad, but you know when you feel someone watching you?I look up to see my dad staring at me, his angry eyes watching me intently.“Eat the damn food, Feeling. you feed like a damn bird, you need to gain weight or you're going to disappear from my face any day " Oh dad... how I would like to disappear not only from your face, but also from your life "Cristina, make your daughter's plate" My father commands and my mother looks up from her plate as if sh
Persephone I felt great the first few months of pregnancy, my skin was silky smooth and my hair was shiny. I became fond of the pointy tummy and created the habit of talking to the baby. My little Sebastian Devenuto Guerra. The months passed and the pregnancy became more and more difficult. I had just reached nine months completely exhausted, my waist was huge, I could no longer see my feet and my leg. My breasts felt like two watermelons and the pain in my back was killing me. I promised myself that this will be the only child I'll ever have, because pregnancy is a hell of a stress. And I've heard of women who've been through this more than ten times! I haven't been able to sleep or work properly for a month now, I was about to take the knife and cut my belly to get this sprout out. "Love. You're looking down at me in a very strange way.” Cosmo snaps me out of my thoughts and I look towards him. “I was just thinking…” I mutter."I know your mind and I know you're not th
Persephone 2 years later I stare at the two pink stripes feeling dread overwhelm me. I knew this moment would come, because I had been trying to get pregnant for two months, but I didn't imagine that the test result would shake me so much. The fact is, I didn't know if I was ready to be a mother, I couldn't imagine giving birth to a child at 21, even before taking over the leadership of Southward Angel. It was a conversation with my mother that opened my eyes, she emphasized that Cosmo was already 47 years old and that he would not enjoy having a child if he was too old for that. I'm sure he would agree if he said he wanted to have a child only when he was 30, however, the conversation was weighing on my mind and I decided to abandon the contraceptive on my own, leaving the decision up to fate. In the last two years I have put as many disciplines as possible in my curriculum, I managed to reduce graduation by half and I will graduate next month. After that I would sit down wi
Persephone 15 days later "Damn it, mother!" Stop this! I say irritably when she tries to fix my hair again. Her hands were fidgety and she had something to fix every five minutes! I was already nervous and she was just putting more anxiety on me! I look at my reflection in the mirror and feel reassured to see how beautiful she looks. The brown eyeshadow really enhanced my eyes accompanied by the nude lipstick. My hair got a modern, choppy cut, and although I miss my long hair, the new cut has brought a positive change in my life. Looking in the mirror, I saw a new woman. I get up from the chair, put on the velvety white pumps and admire the way the dress has molded to my body like a second skin. I never felt like “normal girls”, I didn't dream of a wedding since I was a child and I never imagined what my wedding party would be like. I also never dreamed of the perfect dress, so my choice was simple and quick. The satin dress was held up by two spaghetti straps, the V-shaped ne
Persephone A few days later I felt well enough to start walking, it was still painful to put my feet on the ground and walk, but I couldn't stand to stay in bed all day being pampered by everyone. All he wanted was to torture the skin of Henric and his torturer partner. "I have extended the security of all family member" Cosmo warns my father, he just nods and leaves the room leaving us alone. I sigh anguished with the tension between the two, which consequently made the whole environment tense as well. "Dad will soften over time" I say, nervous about this situation, he just agrees, putting his hands inside the front pockets of his pants as if he doesn't care about my father's attitude. Cosmo will be his son-in-law, so my dad will have to get over that at some point. "Let's go. I'll get you in the car.” Cosmo catches me in his arms before I can protest. Who am I kidding? I love being wrapped in his arms. [...] The strong smell hits my nostrils as soon as we go down to the
Persephone I snuggle in the comfort and warmth feeling at peace. Peace? It wasn't normal to feel peace if you were being tortured. I wake up with a start and relief hits me so hard that I close my eyes again. I was in my room and on my bed wrapped in the covers. "Daughter?" I look at the end of the bed and find Dad, her expression denoting all the tiredness she was feeling "How are you?" I sit up slowly trying to prevent a grimace of pain and a moan from escaping, she had eased up a lot and was finally able to breathe in harmony, the torturous hell is finally over. “A lot better than it was in the hands of those bastards.” Dad closes his eyes and seems to be going through his own personal hell, but nothing that happened is his fault. There are no culprits in this story, just Henric with his unreasonable madness. My madness can be compared a little with his, the difference is that I would never kidnap Cosmo to submit him to my will. “It's okay, it's over dad.” I drag mysel
Persephone The commotion wakes me up sharply. I open my eyes with effort and find myself inside a moving car and the previous conversation quickly comes back to my mind. Take off! Cum! I can't leave my family. I can't leave Cosmo! My father's incarnation is sitting next to Henric while the bastard drives calmly with a cigarette between his lips. “I have a feeling this bitch is going to be a lot of work. Axel Devenuto's main mistake was giving the girl too much freedom and placing her as his successor in charge." A painful death awaits this asshole, I'll love ripping his guts out with my own hands, it may not be today or tomorrow, but it's already predestined to happen. When I try to move I realize that my wrists and ankles are loose, but I'm in so much pain I don't know if I can handle two men, it feels like my body was sliced up and passed through a grinder right away, I've never felt so helpless. . “You really are retarded, you don't even speak well,” Henric mocks and
