"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
I had a big problem with the Los Angeles modification route, one that we realized very late because we had our heads in other more relevant matters. Worst of all, the seats obtained indicated that it seemed that it was being used by someone else, someone to whom the use of the warehouses, warehouses and spaces arranged by my section of the camorra suited him and now that we were taking advantage of the new route that the Yakuza allowed us, things were getting out of control because they increased their play in a totally disproportionate way.At that point in everything, the chutzpah was most evident.That's why we had to discover everything that was hidden behind this madness or else, things could get out of hand for all of us, and without exceptions. Less, if it was something that could make you stay in the middle of a conflict with another organization.One he wanted to avoid if he had to go to war.In addition to the fact that they spent months teasing us while some primary situati
With Gemma's help, I had already held several tea meetings with the ladies from the more conservative families, gradually gaining access to the closed mechanism they operated, one that proved to be quite a peculiar challenge for which she was a piece they couldn't quite define or classify properly.According to my sister's reports, most of them were delighted that my wife spoke Italian fluently and wanted to understand the complete social context, as well as customs and traditions, in an effort to uphold them. The problem was that the older women, those who held more weight, saw her as an outsider who could be a terrible threat.They still held foolish prejudices against Asians, things that were completely intolerable in the grand scheme of things. The good news was that Amaya turned out to be intelligent enough to gradually infiltrate and seek their assistance with the new venture they were embarking on.Not only were they progressive, but they had made some progress in mobilizing re
I hated being a woman in moments like these.The fact that contraceptives, or rather, the contraceptive injection that had been administered to me, were causing harm to my other hormonal systems, was a major issue.One I didn't want to deal with.Honestly, I never thought that women would have to deal with so many issues regarding these kinds of matters, but it was indeed the case, especially when the responsibility for care and protection usually fell entirely on our shoulders. In other words, we took on all the responsibility, and to make matters worse, we had to deal with the consequences.It didn't seem fair in the grand scheme of things.The pinnacle of it all was that it wasn't something I expected to experience when I was just a newlywed, but without a doubt, as soon as my cycles began to change, I knew I had no choice but to deal with it. It all happened so quickly, so much so that even Alessio noticed, and thank God, we were able to resolve them, or rather, we were able to de
I simply waited without much expectation and was aware that we needed to, to some extent, separate our responsibilities. Of course, some of them were interconnected, but it was more a matter of perception than anything else. At least, that's how I saw it.My husband always liked to have some sort of nice interaction with me, he would sometimes send me sweets, other times he would send flowers, order food to have my favorite dishes delivered, or take me to restaurants I had never been to before. There were so many restaurants in the city.And that was saying a lot.Through these outings, I began to socialize more with the world of Las Vegas, the one that lay beneath The Strip, a world where there were many ordinary, everyday people. To my surprise, there was a significant population of immigrants in Nevada, especially in Las Vegas, so I tried to form alliances with the main organizations that compiled information and served as mediators for these people.It was vital to me.Some organi
Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would have to make a trip to Hawaii.It was never on my list of priorities, not even in my worst nightmares. Unlike what one might think based on popular belief, I wasn't a fan of the sea, the beach, or anything that involved getting sand on my behind.I was totally against it!My ideal plan was always to go to a cold place in the mountains or end up in a hotel with a spa, or something much cooler, temperate, and serene. I wasn't a fan of heat, which was highly ironic considering I lived in Nevada, one of the hottest damn cities in the country.It wasn't a matter of being stupid; it was just that I didn't have much choice and had to adapt to it. Being on the beach, in the open, was very hard for me to handle. I couldn't even do it if I wanted to. I much preferred a heated pool with strict control over the environment.The million-dollar question might be, why all this fuss?Well, it all traced back to my youth, a time when I abused my privil
So, nearly two weeks later, I had a folder full of reports, complete reports, photographs, itinerary routines, and more to conduct the inspection that was required, one that would be meticulously detailed.Convincing Amaya to go with me was not difficult at all, especially because, unlike me, she was fascinated by the beach to the point where it could seem quite sweet to me. She loved the warmth, the joy of the sand, and diving, which I might consider extremely dangerous but couldn't tell her because she would mock me and end up ridiculing me in the process.I knew that very well."How long is the flight? I've never been to Hawaii," she said just before boarding."Almost eleven hours," I told her, and she frowned."It's going to sound bad to say this from a privileged perspective, but thank God we can travel in our own plane," she commented with a blush. "I'm not one to imagine myself with too many strangers I have no interest in getting to know in one place."I smiled at how innocent
Hearing the man, you're falling in love with admit in some strange way that he feels something for you is the most incredible feeling in the world. I was sure of it because it was so incredible that I simply felt like I was going to fly knowing it, in some remote, personal way.And even more so after that kiss that, for me, sealed our fates.His kisses were like a complete adrenaline rush, as if I had been given a thousand doses of life all at once. It was like winning all the levels of the decathlon at once. It was the most exciting thing I had ever experienced up to that moment, and it made me feel so weak, too weak, as if I were in that moment of the novel where the heroine put everything together.It was a small analogy, one that brought a smile to my face.It might sound vain, but I was beyond what a person could be happy about, with an euforia so tremendously spontaneous that it couldn't be contained within me. I felt so fulfilled that we simply surrendered to the fact that we c
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
