The Chosen Bride 30. Alessio
"It was you..." "I don't know what you're talking about; I'm just a concerned fiancé, one who wants his family to treat his girlfriend well, with respect, with something more than 'you're a bastard.' In any case, deal with it with her father," I advised them and returned to the study. There, I overheard Hiroshi justifying himself to his wife. "I was about to ruin a big deal because of playing the bad, harmful sister... If that's not something that goes against the principles of the Yakuza, I don't know what will," he said, exhausted. "If she's going to be punished, then you should pay the debt of being unfaithful to me," she retorted. "You shouldn't be, especially when our marriage is worse than a farce..." "Parents," Hiro intervened, "we still have a guest we need to discuss business with." The lady left with her son behind her, and I smirked at the Yakuza boss. "I thought everyone here was so strict and uptight, but now I see you're whatever you feel like being. What a family
The Chosen Bride 31. Amaya
I couldn't believe that my father had treated me like a child, and even more so that I had fallen into Ima's clutches, which had led me into a bad situation. Honestly, watching my brother and the maids take away my books so I couldn't access them was like a level of Dante's hell that isn't described. Nevertheless, I knew I would never let anyone defeat me. From that day on, I slept with one eye open and would be much more perspicacious than anyone else. I promised myself, and I would see it through to the end, I had to do it no matter what, I needed to do more than just lament. I was being forced to be proactive about everything, to be more careful, so I took a deep breath and focused on my plans for the next few days. I never imagined there could be someone worse than Ima: her mother. Then there was a knock on the door, and I asked who it was. I wasn't in the mood for anyone; the only ones I would receive were the maids and the bodyguards, because it wasn't their fault that their

"Okiro!" my father shouted the next morning. I quickly got up and accidentally got tangled in the sheets, to the point where I fell face-first and hit my forehead on the floor. I heard a giggle, and when I turned around, Dai was delighted to see my misfortune becoming a terrible reality. "What's going on?" I asked with a racing heart, making sure they didn't see the Kindle under the pillow. I had safely hidden the iPad, but I had fallen asleep and tempted fate, only to discover I wasn't faster than I should have been. "I told you that you would do training in the Dojo, so get ready. You'll be starting from scratch to warm up your muscles. You need some physical activity." She wasn't wrong, so when they left, I straightened up, took a deep breath, showered, and changed. I found a comfortable kimono tailored to my height, which said a lot. I just mentally prepared myself to endure some exercise. "Are you ready?" Dai asked from the door, which seemed strange. "I'll be right there."

I woke up in a hospital. The beating wasn't something simple; it left me with a severe rib injury that caused me a lot of pain, as well as respiratory problems because one of the blows caused lung swelling. The world could say whatever it wanted, but I only felt that there was no room for anything, so I just wanted to sleep because even breathing hurt. "You need to rest, take care of your diet and breathing for at least a whole week. Then we'll bring you in for a check-up, and we'll administer suppressor steroids to manage the discomfort and lung swelling," the doctor informed. "Thank you very much for everything," my father replied, and I just closed my eyes. "I have a feeling that when Alessio finds out about this, there will be a big problem," Hiro commented, and my father grumbled at that fact. "I'll go check on Dai. I think they went too far by making them fight, especially when we're so close to the wedding." "I didn't think about that... I didn't believe..." My brother in

"How is Dai? My intention wasn't to attack her like that, but..." "You exploded, reacted due to the environment, the context of the situation, and since you saw her still on guard, you did nothing wrong. She let her guard down; she couldn't read you, and that's something that has never happened," he explained. "It's something that has never happened, at least regarding her. She's one of the best at reading her opponent. So, the fact that she assumed you were ready, that you had given up, is something she'll have to pay dearly for." "How?" "Sensei is the one who will take the appropriate measures, and besides, you surprised the man and made him bow to my father, who was your teacher. That also had never happened before," he said, surprised. "Why?" "Because my father had never had a student, and the fact that he introduced you, and in the end, you incapacitated Sensei's best student, is something to admire. So, I recommend that you don't stop practicing, keep going, even after you

"God..." I said and shook my head. "I hope Hiro distracts her...""She's a very understanding girl," my mom explained when she realized she had been imprudent. "The main concern here is how you're doing."With my eyes, I pleaded for help from my father."She has... She has three broken ribs, one of them with a dangerous fracture that could splinter, along with bruises all over her body," he explained, and I saw her go even paler than she already was. "One of her lungs is inflamed, so she'll need steroids as well as painkillers.""My God... they left my baby in a terrible state," she said with pain and approached to stroke my head. "To see your face like this... it's a valid reason to postpone the wedding.""That's not going to happen, it can't happen," my father said, and my mother frowned."Have you seen how she is? She won't even be able to walk properly down the aisle," she commented in pain."I will, I just need to rest, so calm down, because if you get upset, I'll get upset, and

Two days later, I was in the same room I had visited when I first arrived in Los Angeles. There, my mother attended to me, pampered me, and took care of me until I could get up and walk without any issues, which was a world of effort but the compressive bandages helped a lot. "Did Alessio call you?" my mother asked as she helped me bathe in the magnificent bathtub. "No, he says it's best for me to rest a lot, so he decided to write to me instead." And indeed, he did... Alessio: I read a book about demons that you have on your wish list, mostly out of curiosity to understand what caught your attention so much, and I must say the paranormal touch, as well as the mythology and fantasy, were good. Amaya: You read Dark Hearts? Alessio: Look at the picture. That night, I opened the image and realized that the book was on the comforter covering him, which made me realize he was in his bed, reading something I liked, and I felt like I was going to melt. I couldn't believe he had dared

"Tell me everything you were able to assess, both in terms of security and the family tension," I asked Gemma once she returned from her trip. "At least say hello first, right?" she retorted with no humor, then sat down on the couch and sighed before kicking her heels to the side. "The family is a mess. They're careful not to leak anything, to make it seem like they're good, and to confuse everyone about what's happening, but... the problem is that they're very obvious. And sending Amaya's mother... that was the icing on the cake." "That's something I noticed just before coming," I noted. "They were very obvious, especially in front of me. They treated the defamation case like just another joke, but I let it pass to see how my future wife really acted, if there was any part of her that could cause me problems... But she accepted the punishment, one she didn't deserve, and everyone knew it, yet she accepted it without hesitation." "That's what got her that beating that nearly killed

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

"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
