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.

    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

    It was then that I panicked for a moment because, surprisingly, I had planned a kind of itinerary for various sports and activities that could be considered romantic in an atmosphere of adventure, knowledge, and exploration.It was a whole plan, one that I didn't have bad intentions about. I simply thought we could do all that in a relaxing, peaceful moment to make things much more exciting. But when I realized that what I considered a delight could turn out to be a whim that would be one of the biggest failures of this opportunity, I felt like crying.I couldn't believe my terrible luck, it was a complete disaster, so crazy."What's wrong?" he asked when he saw that I was about to break down in a very stupid way."I... I..."I couldn't find the right words to tell him what I had planned after all because I felt like the balloon was going to deflate in the ugliest way possible."Come on, let it out without fear, whatever it is, it's something we can fix," he said with a lot of tendern

    Work had been forgotten, pushed into a complete background, overshadowed by the relentless adventures my wife sought to undertake, ones that were becoming more and more interesting and, to a certain extent, even hilarious. I didn't even know how to digest all of that; all I knew was that with her, I had left behind all the negatives without a doubt.It was like a refreshing balm that activated me and incited me to commit the best craziness in the world. Ranging from making love near a damn volcano to skydiving with her, swimming with sharks, and dining on the beach in the middle of nowhere, in a romantic dinner that the house staff prepared for us.At first, they were a bit reluctant, but they were easygoing people, and my wife saw it as an opportunity. She found out that they felt more loyal to her for the simple reason that she was the true Yagami heir, according to traditional history. Her grandfather, her father's father, was a man who settled on the island and opened up many oppo

    I almost didn't believe her until a few days later when I saw her looking at me like a fool, completely captivated. She seemed to enjoy the situation, and it was the most hilarious, if not the craziest thing. So, I calmed down enough to explain everything to her calmly and methodically until she understood each and every one of the reports.Something she grasped right away and demonstrated the ability to analyze quickly, leaving me and the rest of the administrators in awe. She made adjustments, gave instructions for others, and finally, we went to the Yagami marina. The place was modest, with some class, and offices that needed renovating, but an older man was the one who welcomed us, and when he saw her, he couldn't help but smile."Gods, you're the spitting image of Kaori, and your grandfather would have been delighted to meet you in person," he said, looking at my wife with complete happiness. "Welcome to this land, a secret corner that the lord founded apart from the organization

    Knowing that I had the opportunity to talk to my aunt Katsumi was not something I expected that day, actually, I was expecting absolutely nothing from anyone, I didn't even have any kind of vision or perspective of what was going to happen at the port. For me it was another place to meet, but the fact that we got there and that Mr. Hani received us in such a picturesque way, in which he simply began to spill a lot of information that my brain was unable to process at that moment ...It was like a kind of déjà vu, one that completely spurred me on.Don't get me wrong, I liked to know a lot about my family's history, I always found it intriguing, in addition to the vital importance for me to know how things happened so that I finally got all those properties that I did not know. A new world that presented itself before me, one that reminded me that I had thought about the hundreds of ways in which I was told nothing about it, in which I was not given information about the kind of power

    "Why would you say something like that? Regardless of whether he had them in a desired way or not, he has three other older children, ones that I believe, ones he cared for, ones that represent everything he is as a person and the organization he manages," I emphasized the greater reality."And you're absolutely right, but you're forgetting one little detail, one that you're completely unaware of and that will change each and every one of the perspectives you have about your father and your relationship with Nyoko, perspectives that will look very different," she argued, leaving me even more uneasy."Okay, and what would that be?"She smiled at me with irony, and I couldn't help but think that she and I shared too many features, so many that it was a bit unsettling."The fact that there was never an exact relationship between Hiroshi and Nyoko, and the fact that his three children are not actually my brother's biological children," she blurted out.That revelation not only blew my min

    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
