The Chosen Bride 103. Amaya
I didn't expect spending the day with my aunt to turn out to be fun, after all, and at the same time clarifying. She had the patience to tell me stories about my father, about the dreams he had before becoming who he is today, dreams that went beyond being the simple Oyabun of the Yakuza, but those that were based on helping others in multiple ways, creating job opportunities, and making the town where he grew up a comfortable and safe place for the residents.It sounded so good, so beautiful that it was strange to take in. So much so that a part of my brain couldn't fully process that genuinely impactful detail. It was as if it didn't quite compute with the image I had of my father, Hiroshi Yagami, in my head: an unscrupulous boss, a respected mobster, a smart man capable of making the best moves, and a cunning one who could win over everyone while ordering impressive heists that brought him the best profits of all.That was what I knew, what I was aware of, what I had learned... Why

"But, believe it or not, he didn't tell you that in that way, I can assure you," she emphasized without hesitation, and I knew she would be a loyal defender of the man. "He told you so you would be aware that there could always be a moment of need, not because you were a doll he could use at his convenience."That last sentence disturbed me much more than I could admit."But that's what Aunt Katsumi did, she used me at her convenience when she was caught between a rock and a hard place, didn't hesitate at all. And although I understand that, for him, me ending up married to Alessio meant protection from those organizations that seem to fear my husband, the fact is that the way he handled everything for me and manipulated it without hesitation, as if I were just another chess piece, was a complete disaster."We sighed as if we were tired of the same thing, because yes, it was too repetitive."I don't want to dwell on it. He could have explained it to me earlier, and that's it. He could

I didn't expect that seeing my wife walk down the aisle marked in the sand, illuminated by luminous torches, would touch my heart so deeply. It took a lot for me to spit out my vision to Hani, as well as consult her on the appropriate rituals to carry out what I wanted to develop. That's how we ended up here, with my wife shedding tears of happiness in front of strangers who were about to witness a promise ceremony in which I would give her my soul, in which I would give her a part of me in private, with no witnesses other than those who believed in the cycle of love, of lovers, and the incredible magic that romance represented.A romance I didn't believe in, one I ended up immersed in to my core.The funny thing about Hawaii was that, due to its proximity to Asia, it incorporated multiple cultures from the region, including Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino cultures. Over time, it adopted many of the traditions of these countries. And whether I liked to admit it or not, this was someth

We were in the middle of nowhere when I took out the rings and placed them on our fingers. She looked at them this time with complete happiness, as if thousands of fireworks were exploding in the sky, and I had to explain the situation."According to the ancient Huna tradition of Polynesia, weddings were supposed to be celebrated on the eleventh night of the month, to eat, sing, dance, and celebrate until dawn, ending with the sunrise," I told her, and she looked at me as if I had three heads. "I'm not giving you the most traditional wedding, but I am giving you my commitment of love, of marriage.""I know, and it's spectacular... I didn't imagine you were so thoughtful, so romantic."I smiled with a mischievous smile."The credit should go to Hani, who was the creator of practically everything. If he hadn't been able to do this," I admitted, and I saw her with some sadness, "But unfortunately, after we have dinner and dance for a while, I have to board the plane to take care of some

The surprise my husband gave me was everything I had hoped for and more. It was like being inside a fairy tale, like flying with the best view of all. And when I woke up, all I could do was see the world through the lens of love, so I enjoyed the beach, the endless blue of the Pacific, the pleasant warmth of a Hawaiian day.I put on a pareo and a swimsuit to take a shower, so I enjoyed the sea as much as I could, the freedom of being alone, how sweet it was to know that I had the freedom to do that. It was extremely paradoxical, not to say ironic, that after marrying a mafioso, I could do what I was doing.I smiled, happy with life, with the opportunity, and when I came out ready for breakfast, Hani had a tray ready for me with a typical breakfast full of fruits that I devoured without hesitation."The day has dawned fantastic, and you're in an incredible mood," he mentioned, and I couldn't help but remember the wonderful day I had."I'm happy because I got something I thought was imp

"My father wants to be a politician?" "Yes," he explained, and my mouth dropped open in surprise, with a lot of shock. "It was a vision he set for himself to be able to accomplish all the clan's goals, and getting along with everyone will not only make a difference but also secure sponsors, people willing to back him up in gaining direct access."I couldn't believe it, but it had its foundation, it made sense, and I could even envision him on the podium in endless debates where he would crush his opponents.I shook my head, the impact hitting me hard."I won't deny that it's the most surprising and shocking news I've heard since I got here," I admitted, bewildered. "But it's something I never saw coming, not even in my dreams. I never heard him mention it to my mother or heard her talk about it.""Probably because his mother has no idea whatsoever about what Mr. Hiroshi intends to do," he said with some sadness that struck deep because of the harsh implications of it all. "Unless Mr.

I hated it when flights were extremely long, and I had to stay awake, not to mention alert and fully attentive when I reached my destination, my domains, and territory. I hadn't slept much, and the worst part of it all was that despite the overwhelming fatigue that was consuming me entirely, I needed to know why my best friend had called with such urgency. Urgency enough for me to check the last message he sent me by email, and it said:"In love, I need you to contact me immediately when you arrive here, without detours, without going to the damn bed as I think you'll do, and even less engaging in any insubstantial conversation with your beloved sister or Emilia. Directly with me.I know you'll thank me for it!"The tone of urgency and mockery was a kind of daily bread, a mixture that wasn't common in him, and it got me thinking a lot about the matter, especially because the only times someone had been insistent to the point that my best friend Massimo had, it was to warn me that I ha

That message left me thinking that I wanted the weekend to end once and for all so I could have her back in my arms, so I could kiss her, pamper her, and have her right where I wanted her. So, when I was about to respond to her in a more playful way, a call from Massimo came through on my cell without any problem, so I answered immediately."They just informed me that you arrived from the trip, so I'm going to ask you earnestly to wait for me there," he said directly."Why so much damn secrecy?" I questioned despite being on the brink of losing my damn mind.And if I was wrong in saying too much."Let's just say we have a Code F in progress..."I squinted my eyes because I had forgotten what the damn Code F meant until a flash of mental clarity reminded me that it was a key code, we used to describe the fact that someone very close was not only listening and selling information to the enemy but could be a potential aggressor in the process.My greatest and grandest problem in the hist

That was what I loved about her, so when the cake came, she got up she took our princeessa. We sang happy birthday in all three languages, we laughed at everything and even encouraged her to dream of a wish, to believe in the future, in what was to come, so I carried her and with all the love in the world I said:“Juliana, you are the most beautiful thing in the world, the most sacred thing I have, and I promise you that I will take care of you, love you and encourage you throughout my life, in the greatest possible way, so that you can be whatever you want, realize your dreams and become the most special person in this world” dije entre lágrimas y eso la hizo abrazarme con fuerza.He loved her more than anything, all of them.We finished the evening and after dealing with a lot of games, we put the kids to bed and Hani said he would keep an eye on them to make sure everything was okay, so we could have that night of escape we needed. One that served to give me a surprise to the very

Surviving a gunshot wound to the damn liver had to be some sort of Guinness World Record or something, what I did know was that I was grateful to God for all the good things He gave me after that. Watching my wife suffer was the worst feeling, so I didn't want to see him, so I swore he would be the best husband, the best person I could be.The process was painful, but it was worth every damn sacrifice to get to the best point of all, to have my family reunited, happy and without wars in between, only peace and happiness, we deserved it more than anything in the world.How do we reach them?Ima was arrested by the FBI, Nyoko could not carry the blame, but the fact of being killed by her own daughter must mean something, it must mean something beyond the nefarious part die, something that undoubtedly did not wish my worst enemy, however, the world was the world, Life was life and the twists of fate could put everything in place.Together with the FBI we dissolved the corrupt clan of the

"No... You just used me," I accused him with anger welling up in every bit of my system, "I was just one more transaction for your revenge and now, if I'm pregnant... I have to live this pregnancy in the middle of a disaster, in the middle of stress, in the middle of the constant fear that my baby will be known to be a target," I told her with a cascade of tears rolling down my eyes. Nothing is right, I didn't want to bring a child into the world in these conditions, I didn't want to have a child with you, I didn't want to...I alone could not take it anymore and the accumulated, the stress, the compendio collapsed me to a level that I fell on the floor and I started crying long and straight. He, against my will, bent down to box me into his arms, in an attempt to give me a comfort that I was late and that he was torturing me in a way far worse than everything else."I'm going to protect you; I'm going to protect them."I hate you," I said in response to his empty promise despite bein

Two full days passed before my brother came to bring me news about what was happening. After seeing what happened to the Russians, I couldn't help but feel completely out of sorts, deeply concerned, and imagining the great disaster that had occurred after the Russians."Father had a heart attack," he said, and I felt like my heart was going to stop. "He's stable, but he needed open-heart surgery because he had valve complications.""Oh, my gods, he...""He didn't send you to be killed with Paola," he admitted, and I felt immense relief and shame simultaneously. "Believe it or not, you are that man's greatest treasure, so much so that it seems like he doesn't care about us.""I...""Our father loves you, and he tried to do something to win your mother back because she left him," he continued sharply, and I felt like the world was spinning, the puzzle pieces scattered randomly on the table. "Pamela left him; she told me during a moment when she felt terrible and drank like she hadn't in

"What the hell is that about?" My father-in-law asked when he saw his daughter.He saw me and realized my surprise, then he looked at Dante who saw him with a frown, totally annoyed to the point of losing his patience completely, as if more than rage in anger, he was at a point of complete pain, of total anger with which he did not want to deal, but which touched him given the events.In these meetings they made agreements in which they arranged several, things and unfortunately only they have the knowledge of what they did, but it is obvious that the Yakuza had direct or indirect participation with it.—Kore wa fukanōdesu, machigai ga aru ni chigai arimasen..."I'm afraid there isn't Hiroshi, your daughter has a hand in this, but only they can answer us," Dante said earnestly. We want to know exactly what they collaborated on and where the girls who were moving along the routes came from.The Chechens drew their weapons on the spot, that made all the rest of us draw ours in response,

"You're not going to get away with this. You've done the worst to keep her safe, and you've exposed her in the worst way possible," I snapped angrily. "But you'll have to deal with it; you'll have to face the damn consequences of your actions.""I won't be the only one. I'll make you pay for everything, absolutely everything, and there won't be a trace of you left to bury," I threatened, and she easily broke free from me.She pushed me away and positioned herself to leave as if nothing had happened. When I walked out minutes later, the mafia bosses were gathered to make a toast, the cream of the underworld, people who did very bad things for their own benefit, people who needed to be reminded of the rules so they wouldn't dare to go against a foundation that provided us with certain advantages. Dante was a fair man, but very deadly, so being on his bad side was not a good thing, not at all, and that was why everyone pretended to be calm."Welcome, everyone, to this charity gala, a gat

"Everything will be fine," said my brother, and I didn't believe it, not for a measly second.Things would no longer be the same, the world would never be the same, I would end up swallowed, hurt, desperate and with my heart on the surface, with my fist holding my perennial anger. Betrayal tasted acidic, betrayal tasted bad, and everything was at such a pathetic point that I just wanted to hide forever and never come back, never see anyone again, never feel anything again.*****I was in a house on Long Island when night came. Surprisingly, my brother was very good at hiding people, information and so on, he didn't say much when I told him what I heard, the fact that my husband had used me as cattle for breeding, that my Dai hinted that my father had me killed, as well as the will.He just listened very patiently before sighing deeply and telling me:"The best thing is that you sleep, tomorrow I will bring you something for the discomfort and pregnancy tests to be sure that what happe

"The Russian's wife is very warm, while the Chechen's daughters are troublesome," Alissa told us, and Gemma and I nodded. "The men are much more careful, more respectful, but the thing here is that if they think you're giving them the slightest opening, they'll want to try their luck. That's what led Dante to break one of the Chechens' hands, and since then, they are forbidden to come within five meters of me.""That doesn't sound good at all," I said with some concern. "But I'll play dumb to see what I can pick up. People tend to talk a lot when they think you don't understand them."And that was a truth I had unfortunately experienced firsthand, a truth that had made things a bit awkward at times in my life, like the time I caught the Spanish teacher calling us idiots, or the time an old Karate instructor unabashedly called us pieces of pig crap.When I told my father about it, he pulled me out of that Dojo, and three weeks later, they closed it down for something I had no idea abou

"I think my sister disappeared because it was a highlight, I have the feeling that something discovered and something to say to my father to ask for help, they were going to make big changes and decided to kill us all, but luckily neither I nor Gemma were there," I said tiredly. They wanted to eliminate us, and since I'm a nuisance, they're messing with everything, what doesn't fit me at all is how those mafias that were previously our friends with the Yakuza related to that picturesque story of man and woman... It's too much."From what your brother discovered, something heavy, something completely large that caused a stir with everything," Dante said. And... I think I have an idea of how it could have happened.I frowned, then he pulled out a lot of folders that the damn FBI provided, folders that he used against us without going over the line. He opened the folder and handed me some pictures of a place: Venus."This was a center of domination and submission attended by many people
