She hugged me back and I didn't imagine I would connect with that woman in beautiful ways. By nine o'clock in the morning, we had the trays ready and we were both going to serve the Milano brothers, knocking on Gemma's door first.

"Good morning, Gemma, are you awake?" I asked him from the other side of the door. I have something you might like.

"Come in...

I walked in and found her sitting on the bed, wrapped in the duvet with what was clearly an attitude of not wanting to leave the room. My eyes were swollen, it looked sad, and my heart wrinkled.

"You... I brought you something that my mother used to do to me when I had a really bad day, so, although I know it's not the same, bring you some sweets that always encouraged me.

That made her smile and she sat down, so I brought the tray to her and when she saw it she laughed very hard, as if it were one of the best occurrences in the world. When she saw that Emilia was backing me up and standing behind me with a smile, she couldn't help

    Married life was everything I had ever dreamed of and more.It had been just a month since my wife arrived, and during that time, she did several interesting things that earned her my respect, admiration, and above all, my warmth and affection. She was very intelligent, kind, and giving, even though you could still see her reservations about the life she had been thrust into. Somehow, she fit into it and adapted to what it was.Some might call me crazy for saying this in such a short time, but if there was one thing I had learned from my parents and my late grandparents, it was that when something comes into your life and hits you with such force, you can't let it go. That, in itself, was saying a lot in the grand scheme of things, especially since I had never intended to tie myself to a woman who wasn't Italian. So, I had to admit that getting married within the timeframe I did was something I considered once Hiroshi made his move.Thinking about the consequences of being married to

    That's how I discovered something a little disturbing in one of the records of the books of the surrounding routes, which we used to import from outside because we respected the territory of the Yakuza. There were marked operations that were registering absolutely nothing, zero. They were said to be for maintenance and repair, but they were too often followed to be just that."Look," I showed Massimo with a frown, "look at this thing marked here and tell me I'm not crazy to see what I'm seeing.He woke up and collated silently until he took old reports from past reviews and compared them. He studied the days, the facts, as well as the previous notes to each of the cases, he saw something that I did not see with the naked eye: a pattern."Someone is using our route and platform to do some kind of business, one that is not even reported, much less endorsed by the rest," he explained and pointed his finger at the seats. Look at the dates, according to past reports, the maintenance was do

    I loved going on dates with my husband; they were undoubtedly one of the sweetest things of all. If someone had asked me about it before, I would have laughed at the most unexpected turn of events in my life, more than I could appreciate, to be honest. The situation was ridiculous, mainly because it wasn't part of my life plan, of what I had dreamed for myself. And although I had discussed and thought about it before, the outcome simply came back to bite me.And it hit me hard.Two months of happiness had passed, of building a routine in which we not only acted like a married couple but began to respect each other, to treat each other as equals, to consider each other. In that month that had been added to the one I already had in Las Vegas, I had not only learned to focus more, to enjoy myself, to explore the world of marriage, but I had also made an excellent connection with Gemma. After my graduation ceremony, which neither of my parents could attend due to scheduling conflicts, and

    "I like to see that you get along. Sometimes arranged marriages aren't so bad after all," she mentioned as if nothing and looked at my siblings. "When it's your turn, maybe you should be more open, although, after all, things have turned out well for us, especially for Amaya.""Absolutely," my husband said with joy. "I didn't expect your daughter to be such a good woman, a magnificent wife, and personally, the jewel in the crown of the Yagami family, no offense," he glanced at Dai, who forced a smile. "I say this because she has been empathetic, she has magnificent plans to help us strengthen ourselves, as well as to do great things in the future. She's a huge loss for you.""She certainly was," Hiro said with no hint of falsehood or malice. "The fact that you speak all those languages is impressive, but I'm glad you're going to do great things like creating the foundation."I smiled happily at a sincere appreciation for the first time."Do you speak multiple languages?" Dai asked wit

    I had no doubt that my sister-in-law was deceiving me, and it was clear that she was using us as a cover for something else. However, seeing my wife's surprised expression, I decided not to tell her that I was going to continue investigating as much as possible. After all, I didn't want her to think about it."Let her play in peace," I commented, and she frowned."Fine, but I don't trust her."Neither did I, and that's what I liked about Amaya, that she wasn't a fool. So, we continued the conversation with everyone, and suddenly, Pamela approached us with a trembling smile that didn't bode well."Can I talk to you?" she asked.This caught Hiroshi's attention, and he was watching her like a hawk."Of course, Mom, tell us whatever you want to say," my wife responded, being very helpful.I saw my mother-in-law sigh with some drama, then furrow her brow with some conflict, but after looking at her lover, her eyes filled with deep pain."Can I stay with you? I don't want to go to the hotel

    "Good morning," I said cheerfully as I brought her a tray.Emilia already had the recipes and knew that food ingredients were something that should never be missing, so the woman worked quickly and skillfully."You didn't have to bother yourself or bother Emilia," she replied, and I nodded, watching as she revealed more skin with the silk robe slipping down."I want you to be okay. Your father and mother left in the morning. She went with him to the hotel and took the opportunity to sort things out," I explained, and she nodded wearily, as if this were an everyday occurrence. "Your sister left after an interesting encounter with her lover, and Hiroshi, to everyone's surprise, asked to stay here to talk to you. He wants to apologize for yesterday and answer any questions you have about the family.""Wow, I didn't expect that," she admitted. "He... I like him. He hasn't been rude or someone who belittles me, but I still don't know him.""You decide what to do about it. What I do know is

    When I went to look for my brother, the last thing I expected was to find them in the situation I found them in when Emilia told me that Gemma had taken him to the library to wait for me because I was taking longer than usual. It was something that exploded in my head in such a strange way that I could only watch as one train crashed into another.Hiroshi was holding her hands, above her head, and gripping her hips tightly, almost cruelly. And she, to my complete surprise, was not scared but rather seemed to be in a state of fury that could pass for excitement.She liked it, and I was on the verge of intervening, but their words stopped me."I know very well what women like you do, so you won't come here and apply any cheap tricks with me," he said, and she smiled at him ironically. "You can fool the rest, but I've seen many spies trying to do the same thing, so the best you can do is get a grip on reality.""Then you shouldn't touch me like this," she retorted angrily, "not only are

    "But I need you to understand one important point, Amaya: when I met her, she didn't seem like a kid at all, and she was involved in intelligence work, the kind Dai does because she's very good at manipulating situations," he said, and I furrowed my brow. "They... I won't speak ill of what seems to be your new family, but I'll tell you a couple of very clear things: they don't have completely clean hands. I knew her trying to do dirty work for her late brother, and one thing led to another until I discovered who she is, as well as what she was doing with me... I didn't see her again until now, and my surprise is as great as yours, maybe even greater."Then he talked to me about some things, and I realized I couldn't touch her, and when I investigated beneath the surface and the idiots, she was hanging out with came to visit her, let's say I put the pieces together."You investigated her?""We all investigate each other here... It's basic, and she usually does it too. She's one of the

    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
