2024-10-29 19:42:56Let's face it: don't stick to expectations.
That phrase stuck in my brain, burning as something important, so we finished watching the movies, without talking about it anymore, to the point where I fell asleep and when I woke up, I found Alessio dressing carefully. And with a more than obvious dissimulation, I checked it well, he was without the mask and the scars looked much clearer than the night I saw him putting on the cream.
He was a handsome man despite the scars, they were neither grotesque, nor very striking, they were reddish, so they stood out in his slightly broced skin. They were not as large or extensive, but they did cover from his face to more than half of his arm and side. Beyond that, he was a good-looking man, he was tall, athletic and had a butt that felt proportionate.
When he put on his pants and shirt, I almost sighed that I couldn't keep watching. It was the first time I had seen a naked man like that, in that way and, althoug

"I'm going to miss you so much, suki," my mother said through tears, and I felt like my heart was going to melt completely. "And I'll miss you so much too, Mom," I replied. We hugged tightly, one that touched my heart, one that brought tears to my eyes. "Don't be sad, or you'll make me cry," Gemma mentioned, and we laughed when we saw her with red eyes and a red nose. My brother, on the other hand, looked at her sarcastically, and I furrowed my brow. "I'm sorry for this spectacle, but... let's say my daughter is now in another stage, one that I won't be waiting for her to come home from college, and she'll start her own family," she said affectionately. "We won't see each other as often." "Quite the opposite, Pamela," Alessio said, taking my hand. "Now you'll have my plane at your disposal whenever you want to come. Amaya will use it when she wants to visit you. You'll see each other as much as possible." He promised calmly, an

I like my wife. That was the truth that had been hammering my brain since she asked me to cut her garter, and I could appreciate her in all her glory, as God brought her into the world, and I felt euphoric. Only two days had passed since then, during which I let her sleep in the bed while I settled on the sofa bed at my disposal. The curious thing about seeing her sleep after that was that the old me wanted to come out and claim her, while the boss just wanted to carry out his plan, one that had to be adapted to take his wife into account. One that he wouldn't deviate from for anything in the world. "Sir, we have everything ready to go pick up the weapons and other things," Massimo reported. "As planned, we will count them, catalog them, and then smuggle them in the plane." "Perfect," I said. "Just let me know when they're ready, and you have the total number of partners and affiliates so that I can proceed with the respective politic

I arrived early that evening, and to my pleasant surprise, when I went to the dining room, I found my wife and my sister laughing heartily, something I never thought I'd see. She was a beauty in every sense of the word, a beauty in everything the world meant. It was as if they had bathed me in humor. "Can I know what's got you both in such high spirits?" I asked once I approached. "Oh! How lovely to see you, brother," Gemma replied with a hint of sarcasm. "I hadn't seen your face in years. Is everything all right?" Amaya covered her mouth to stifle her laughter, which made me smile. "Don't be silly... I've been busy with some important matters, but I've finished them," I explained and kissed her on the head. "What's got you both so animated?" "It's a silly thing from a series we both like," my sister explained. "Turns out I'm not the only Twilight fan in the world; there's another one right here, and she loves Damon Salvatore just like

What could this mean for me? That's what I questioned myself at seven in the morning after my husband invited me to the first date of my life the previous night. He didn't know it, but unlike what he might think, I was always nervous about new situations with strangers. That's why my stress about everything, especially the wedding, was more of a situation of to be or not to be. I was scared to the core. I had expectations based on my perceptions, some of which, as Alessio had rightly said, I had to avoid at all costs because they were based on a reality that didn't quite align with actual reality, and he was absolutely right. What I consumed, what I analyzed, what I thought I wanted could be fulfilled, but not always. However, that didn't mean it wasn't important to me, which was why I said it. Above all, because... I liked the man, maybe too much, maybe in ways I shouldn't, but the silent answer to all those things was very clear: i

That's what we did. He placed noise-canceling headphones on me, and we got on. Despite it being a bit uncomfortable due to the dress, he secured the harness properly. He was a complete gentleman, and when we took off, and I could see everything from above, with the best perspective in the world, I just melted. The views were breathtaking, like something out of a dream, from a distant place where the world ceased to exist and focused only on this. But the best part of the experience, of the adventure itself, was the fact that he spoke to me like someone in love with his place, in love with what Nevada could offer me. He had so much respect for the city he loved, the opportunities it offered, for all the changes and good things that had emerged, that it filled me with that. He was a man with a well-rooted mixed culture. He could speak to me as if he were the greatest Neapolitan in the world, but at the same time, he found a way to sell me the city that would embrace me

I must have had the worst luck in the world, honestly. Of all my former lovers, I couldn't believe that Bianca would be the one to find me in my favorite place right in the middle of a date with Amaya. I understood she was abroad, in Italy, living the glamorous life of European models, but no, here she was completely ruining my existence, making my wife furrow her brow. After Bianca entered the kitchen, Otto came out to attend to me right away, and I had no idea how to deal with the overwhelming tension that hung in the air. It was as if all the good had vanished completely. "Welcome, sir! We've been informed that you've married a beautiful lady," said the plump old man with flattery, glancing at my wife, especially at the ring. "I see the rumors are true." "They are," I replied, and I noticed Amaya shifting a bit. "I'm having a pleasant time, but we're hungry, and we'd like some carbonara pasta with a good wine, something delicious and decent." Simpl

"I've never been to parties, mainly because I wasn't very sociable. I'm more of a bookworm than an adventurer. But, well, I can understand some contexts for the rest... And no, I tried alcohol with my mother so as not to embarrass myself in a certain situation, but it's not something I do regularly. And if you mean doing interesting things like going to fraternity parties, meeting guys, and other things, no... My best adventures were through reading." I knew she was innocent, but I had no idea to what extent until now. She had probably lived such a protected, sheltered life that I felt I had to do more for her and let her live a little, at least under my supervision. "Well, after we go to the fabulous place I'm taking you, we'll go home, and from there, I'll take you to a club to dance, to let loose just a bit, to experience it. And if you really don't like it, that's okay... But you'll be with the city's biggest partygoer," I added, and she furrowed her brow.

We arrived home with our emotions running high.If I put aside the encounter with Bianca and didn't dwell on the fact that she was the second woman I knew had been his lover, it could have been excellent in more than one way. Why? It was simple to answer...He was a sweet guy.He made sure I was okay.He was respectful.He paid attention to every one of my actions.He smiled with pleasure when I saw him.It sounded ridiculous in more than one sense, but it was a silly sense that had me on cloud nine, enough to make me question what to wear and how to stop being so plain, how to look attractive just by being myself. I furrowed my brow and picked up my tablet to check Pinterest for an outfit, then I searched for a program to help me match my clothes... That didn't go well at all.I emptied my suitcases, photographed everything without hesitation, hurriedly, and frowned when the combinations turned out

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.

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
