The Chosen Bride 131. Amaya
A crazy woman tried to kill me.He did it at the request of someone and I had no doubt that it was someone from my paternal family, that only left me with three clear options, my father's wife, my sister Dai or my sister Ima.Any of the three, or all three, was bad news for me, completely terrible news that makes everything take on a horrible meaning, more since my aunt's warning and what my brother said. It was as if the pieces of the puzzle fit to tell me how bad everything was.Be content to know that they want you dead, and that your adversary is much bigger and more reckless, one who will not need weapons to destroy you, little bastard.That had been the message, that had been the high point of all, one that left me thinking for hours, after trying to calm a child who had witnessed his mother's suicide, in a macabre scene that should never have happened. That was bad for me, especially because the boy was alone among people who did not understand him, among a supposed family that

I lasted there more than enough hours until I was exhausted and when I was on my way to sleep, a heartbreaking cry alerted me so I ran straight to the room they had arranged for Ulysses. I was so fast that I arrived to see how the child screamed, to live tears on the bed, so I went straight to hug him and when he woke up, I felt the worst and heartbreaking feeling in the world, I felt that I had never known anything bad until that moment."Ya, honey, already... I whispered affectionately in the language I was profiling."I love my mommy; I want my mom...Her requests made me cry with helplessness, then Alessio entered the room, Gemma saw the scene with devastation and Emilia put her hands to her mouth for comfort.—We will need a sedative and take it elsewhere in the meantime, this child is not well —My husband said painfully and I refused very categorically."Ulysses doesn't leave here, we have to call an emergency therapist, someone discreet, as well as a specialized, certified baby

Listening to Amaya's words was like a blow to my entire solar plexus. They were harsh, they were cruel, but they were very true. And it left me deeply conflicted because if Ulises turned out to be my brother's son, I wouldn't look at him the same way anymore. Two concrete facts made this situation even more complicated: part of what Paola said was true, there was a remote possibility that the lie had short legs, and if my brother had been involved with the place where Gemma was during the first days of her abduction.This left me in doubt, something my sister had a lot of trouble with, mostly because it was a complete mess, a compendium of abstract situations in which she ended up looking like the bad guy. What really bothered me about this whole mess was that she got hurt in the process. If that meant our brother was involved, that was a big no for me.So, I felt disappointed in everyone, disappointed in life, and it was a completely complex situation that made everything feel wrong,

New York was a city I liked; the weather was one of my favorites, and it was so vast that you could easily get lost, which suited me because I occasionally got lost in its streets, without bodyguards, without anyone else but myself against the world, immersed in a sea of song, in a sea of peace that the hustle and bustle would always provide me.It was another world, another path, something I couldn't do after my audacious military move. But valid that thankfully Dante didn't question, but helped control to be a direct supervisor of all situations. It was a bit tiring, a lot, to be honest, but it was what it was, and I couldn't miss the opportunity, one I couldn't set aside."Have you been here before?" I asked Amaya, who still looked serious."No," she admitted. "Of the few trips I've taken with my family, this isn't a destination I would have visited.""Would you like to explore it?""Yes, I think every American wants to visit the most iconic places in their country, the most emblem

After that iconic entrance by the boss of the East Camorra clan, we entered the splendid house that was a dream to me. It was located in a little forest, in a private, privileged place, and it had everything one could imagine. However, the warmth that inhabited it was incredible, especially because the boss of the Cosa Nostra was a true gentleman who treated his wife with great affection, was very attentive, and left nothing to chance. It was beautiful to see them in their natural state."It seems like she likes the golden mask more," Dante, the boss of the Cosa Nostra, said.I noticed that the little girl was looking at my husband with a furrowed brow, and then I remembered a conversation I had with him, one where I advised him to just be himself, to remove the mask and show the world who he truly was. He looked at me seriously for a prolonged period and only asked one question:"Do you mind me wearing the mask?""I like you better without it, I like you as you are without it," I spe

"He said she wasn't made for you, man," he commented and then looked at me with a smile. "You speak Japanese like a native.""Well, it's one of the things I could thank my father for, paying for language schools," I said calmly and very, very sincerely."It would make some sense, after all, he kept you hidden, the least he could do was teach you some of his most sacred customs," he speculated, and I tensed up, but decided to take it for what it was."However, I understand why he did it, because he deprived us of asking for your hand in marriage, while he bamboozled this fool," he said, pointing to Giorflavio."Giorflavio," scolded Alissa. "Don't be more reckless, please.""It's not reckless at all," I told them confidently. "Let's tell the truth for what it is, for how it feels. My father kept me hidden because he had an extramarital relationship outside the Yakuza, and although at first, I hated with all my might that he involved me in this world, I can be thankful that I have the hu

The dinner had gone excellently, so well that I knew one of the best purposes of traveling to New York had been successfully achieved. Seeing Amaya integrate naturally with Alissa was like witnessing something beautiful happen, beautiful in more than one sense. However, I realized that in the end, when I insisted strongly that they should have their girls' day out, my wife didn't like it that much."What's wrong?" I asked her upon waking up. "Did it bother you that I committed them like that with the wife of the Cosa Nostra boss?"She stopped combing her hair and sighed."It doesn't bother me. I know the offer was made with good intentions, and Alissa seems like a very friendly and interesting woman to get to know. However, I wanted to go over some things before heading to the gala," she told me, revealing her main insecurity. "Gemma was going to help me.""Can I tell you a secret? Alissa is not someone who knows about the mafia. She's had to learn little by little, and this particula

"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

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
The Chosen Bride Epilogue I
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
