The Chosen Bride 99. Amaya
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

I knew something was bothering my wife a lot. I didn't know what or why, but I could relate it to whatever her aunt Katsumi had told her in private. It was as if it had destabilized her, as if it had put her in a situation that left her shattered, so my plan to cheer her up with ice cream didn't work. She wasn't even paying attention to the fact that I had bought her pistachio ice cream as a little joke because she didn't like it.It was as if she had entered some kind of automatic mode that I didn't know how the hell to understand. I just supported her lovingly, telling her that I was there for her, with all the good vibes in the world, and then I took her home so she could rest. The best thing was for her to sleep so she could give her brain a break from the relentless thinking, whatever it was she was thinking about, over and over again.When we got home, she kissed me and decided to take a bath using the splendid whirlpool bathtub in the bathroom, so I left her alone to make herse

After that, I left them alone but with the broad mission of investigating her thoroughly, as well as Hiroshi, who wouldn't get away with anything. That would be several fronts open: the Russians, the Camorra mobilizing within that absurd clan, the Chechens, the routes used in favor of someone who had fooled us, my revenge, the Yakuza, my father-in-law's wife... I had too much to channel, to question, so much that I didn't see things clearly, the neon lights that were directly connected to everything else.I went to finish cross-referencing one of the financial records at the marina when my best friend called me."I have news for you," he said without preamble. "But I need you to come home urgently so I can give you the complete context of it all.""Is it something good or bad?" I asked, getting straight to the point."Depending on how you look at it, but it does resolve the primary doubts about who has been messing with us from the start," he explained."The problem is that I committe
The Chosen Bride 103. Amaya
I didn't expect spending the day with my aunt to turn out to be fun, after all, and at the same time clarifying. She had the patience to tell me stories about my father, about the dreams he had before becoming who he is today, dreams that went beyond being the simple Oyabun of the Yakuza, but those that were based on helping others in multiple ways, creating job opportunities, and making the town where he grew up a comfortable and safe place for the residents.It sounded so good, so beautiful that it was strange to take in. So much so that a part of my brain couldn't fully process that genuinely impactful detail. It was as if it didn't quite compute with the image I had of my father, Hiroshi Yagami, in my head: an unscrupulous boss, a respected mobster, a smart man capable of making the best moves, and a cunning one who could win over everyone while ordering impressive heists that brought him the best profits of all.That was what I knew, what I was aware of, what I had learned... Why

"But, believe it or not, he didn't tell you that in that way, I can assure you," she emphasized without hesitation, and I knew she would be a loyal defender of the man. "He told you so you would be aware that there could always be a moment of need, not because you were a doll he could use at his convenience."That last sentence disturbed me much more than I could admit."But that's what Aunt Katsumi did, she used me at her convenience when she was caught between a rock and a hard place, didn't hesitate at all. And although I understand that, for him, me ending up married to Alessio meant protection from those organizations that seem to fear my husband, the fact is that the way he handled everything for me and manipulated it without hesitation, as if I were just another chess piece, was a complete disaster."We sighed as if we were tired of the same thing, because yes, it was too repetitive."I don't want to dwell on it. He could have explained it to me earlier, and that's it. He could
The Chosen Bride 105. Alessio
I didn't expect that seeing my wife walk down the aisle marked in the sand, illuminated by luminous torches, would touch my heart so deeply. It took a lot for me to spit out my vision to Hani, as well as consult her on the appropriate rituals to carry out what I wanted to develop. That's how we ended up here, with my wife shedding tears of happiness in front of strangers who were about to witness a promise ceremony in which I would give her my soul, in which I would give her a part of me in private, with no witnesses other than those who believed in the cycle of love, of lovers, and the incredible magic that romance represented.A romance I didn't believe in, one I ended up immersed in to my core.The funny thing about Hawaii was that, due to its proximity to Asia, it incorporated multiple cultures from the region, including Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino cultures. Over time, it adopted many of the traditions of these countries. And whether I liked to admit it or not, this was someth

We were in the middle of nowhere when I took out the rings and placed them on our fingers. She looked at them this time with complete happiness, as if thousands of fireworks were exploding in the sky, and I had to explain the situation."According to the ancient Huna tradition of Polynesia, weddings were supposed to be celebrated on the eleventh night of the month, to eat, sing, dance, and celebrate until dawn, ending with the sunrise," I told her, and she looked at me as if I had three heads. "I'm not giving you the most traditional wedding, but I am giving you my commitment of love, of marriage.""I know, and it's spectacular... I didn't imagine you were so thoughtful, so romantic."I smiled with a mischievous smile."The credit should go to Hani, who was the creator of practically everything. If he hadn't been able to do this," I admitted, and I saw her with some sadness, "But unfortunately, after we have dinner and dance for a while, I have to board the plane to take care of some

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
The Chosen Bride Epilogue I
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
