The Chosen Bride 69. Amaya
What happened with Melissa was a wake-up call, a big one that showed me the hundreds of obstacles we would face as a couple with Alessio. It wouldn't just be women trying to get between us, but anyone who could benefit from our distance, and that made me nervous.Because we were supposed to present a united front to the public, and at the first sign of trouble, I doubted him instead of talking to him. Something I couldn't do in any way, which meant it was more than a big problem; it was a disaster.The worst part wasn't that; the worst part was that for an entire week, Alessio had decided to be diplomatic with me. In other words, he limited himself to being polite, telling me where he was going with a slightly biting tone, maintaining a distance that was somewhat uncomfortable, and focused on his own affairs. This told me that not only had my lack of communication with him affected him, but it had also made him angry.At that point, I didn't even know what to do anymore. So, the after

"I know, and you're absolutely right, but..." He didn't let me finish. "Apologize to me," he interrupted. "I just had a somewhat irritating moment with some of my soldiers, and you were simply in a place where I didn't expect you to be... Let's just say... I let myself go and accused you of something you probably have no idea how to do." He was right about that, and it made me smile, which in turn made him smile, and we ended up laughing like a couple of idiots, of crazies."I'm sorry about all this," I told him calmly."I'm sorry too...""Would you go out with me tomorrow?" I asked him directly.I had inquired with Gemma about what he liked the most, and through her, I found out that shooting was one of his interests. So, I had made plans to schedule a date at the shooting range farthest from the city, then take him to his favorite burger place in a small spot on The Strip, and finally treat him to caramel ice cream, the one that brought him to life... That was the plan, an impressiv

We had spent a dreamy night, after Alessio decided to explore my most remote places with his own language, we slept together, with nothing but skin-to-skin contact, and to my great surprise, I slept divine, which I thought would not happen because I was not used to sleeping with anyone, I was used to walking around my bed as owner and lady.That's why I never believed I would sleep like a baby in the arms of a man who was giving me incredible warmth. I just let myself be carried away by everything with ease, I wrapped myself in what I wanted, in what made me feel: protection. With him I felt more protection than with anyone and that was dangerous in more ways than one.Too much because by feeling comfortable, protected and safe with someone unknown, with someone you do not know the motivations, things could get completely out of control, become much more confusing and lower your guard. It was what he told me, but my subconscious was fascinated by everything I was trying for the first

"She's going to have a combined training; she's a woman who knows how to kick ass but needs to consolidate her skills for self-defense, that's how she was brought up," he explained. "At least you've met her; I'll take her with the others, so keep that in mind. I just want you to train with her alone.""Do you want her to have an advantage over the others?""Absolutely," he said without hesitation. "I don't want other idiots admiring her or knowing what she's learned or not. It's a way to protect her from all of this.""Alright, take her with the others," he said and continued walking, then turned to smile at me. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Milano. I hope you have a great time here."I smiled and nodded.We walked to the other side of the sports complex, and I noticed that it had everything: designated areas, a gym, a pool, massages, and a sauna."This place is impressive," I said just before entering an office that said 'Administration'. "I really like it; it has everything, an

We arrived at the operations center, my place of command. When my wife learned what I intended to do, she insisted on going back home to change. I had no idea what women's obsession with clothing was all about. I understood the need to dress a certain way to evoke power, but analyzing and considering the repercussions of different types of attire was something I would never do, and it was something I would never actively participate in until now.What I found very ironic, without a doubt.All this was due to the fact that my wife was going through an existential crisis. According to her, she had to find an outfit that could convey three things at the same time: power, serenity, and confidence. I had absolutely no idea how that could work, because to me, it had always been nonsense. However, my sister, who saw us entering in the midst of an argument about this, decided to join the conversation and provide optimal solutions to help Amaya achieve her goal.She began pulling outfits out o

The questions were healthy."It's not necessary, Amaya, it's imperative to present a united front and make it clear how relationships stand. The world is just finding out that your father and I made a deal, and that's why it's necessary for you to go as the symbol of that deal," I explained. "And well, the charitable cause we're helping is managed by the boss's wife.""Wow, that's interesting, but won't there be enemies there?""Enemies will always be where we least expect them, but not only those with close ties or a new relationship with the one taking over the East Coast territory are invited," I explained."Well, in that case, no choice but to go, but you have to brief me on everything so I don't look like an idiot," she specified, and I was about to laugh. "Honestly, I don't want to repeat the complete ignorance pattern my father applied to me."She had a very valid point."Don't worry about that. When the time comes, I'll give you a crash course on the history of the organizatio

After making the promise before the cream of the Camorra, surprisingly, all the men in the room bowed as a sign of respect, and I didn't think they would. In fact, I thought it was crazy of my sister-in-law Gemma to suggest that I make a blood promise in the style of the organization, exactly like the promise Alessio made to me. Nevertheless, doing just that with a confidence I didn't entirely feel had managed to make such an impact on them that my husband was too proud, enough to smile and kiss me in front of everyone, staking his claim before all of them.It struck me as very caveman-like on his part, but I didn't question it. If it made it clear to everyone that I was important to my husband, then I said I would do it in private, in the warmth of our intimacy. After all, we had an agreement never to challenge each other in front of anyone unless our lives were at risk. And there was a valid point to that which I wouldn't refute. I had a belief that he had made that agreement more f

"Isn't that going to be difficult with my mixed origins? I know very well that Italian culture is very closed and rooted in its old customs. The fact that Alessio married me instead of one of the daughters of the traditionalist families is a kind of rebellion... something I know is like an organization within an organization," I told him."Well, at least you have something that few women manage to show.""And what's that?""Brains, Mrs. Amaya, the kind that makes you think. And as I know you're very good at finding solutions, you yourself, after first testing the family, will be able to find a quick solution to that big mystery," he asserted with conviction, and I smiled at him."That's what I hope for the most... that's what I hope for the most..."They gave me a brief nod, and I entered the house, in search of Gemma, whom I found near the pool. She had changed and was ready in a beautiful floral dress, not very discreet, with her hair styled to the side and earrings that complemente

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
