The ceremony that followed the wedding took place on one of the largest and most beautiful docks in Florence, which was not usually used for such events, but there was nothing that money couldn't fix. After cutting the cake and posing for photos with each of the guests, it was time for the dance; a situation that made Bethany uneasy. All eyes were on them while she was in the arms of a murderer of whom she only knew lies. Her hands were not around his neck as they had been during rehearsals, but were placed on his strong chest, wanting to keep at least a minimum distance, Ciro noticed. It was not the same smiling Bethany who hugged him during rehearsals and the kiss that sealed their union was the trigger. But he would not comment on it, at least in front of the guests. They had already had enough of a show with the bride's delay.

-I love you. – The Italian murmured in her ear hoping to change her cold attitude. What he achieved, without knowing it, was to make every ha

    "A pair of black orbs staring at her in solemn darkness and hands squeezing her thin neck." This had been a recurring nightmare that had disturbed Bethany in her first days after awakening from her coma. She always believed it was a product of her fanciful subconscious, relegating her importance. Of course she was going to believe it like that, there was no point in giving her another explanation.A flight attendant arrived to draw her out of her thoughts. She offered her a Margarita, which Bethany accepted without a second thought.-It's the third one already. - The Italian observed.They were hundreds of meters above the ground, aboard Ciro's private plane; he was heading to his honeymoon. Bethany didn't say or do anything, she just drank her glass of liquor, losing herself in the white blanket of clouds they flew over.-Do you want to talk to me about what's happening to you? - Ciro insisted for the umpteenth time that day, tired of feeling so

    -My dear, are you okay? - her husband asked, bringing her out of her fleeting moment of coherence.Bethany turned around to find Ciro, who for the first time since she woke up from her coma looked like a familiar face. She was starting to remember him.-Yes, I'm fine. -Ciro took her hands, shyly. He felt good about not being rejected. -It's a very nice hotel.-I met you here, so yes. It's the most beautiful hotel in the world. -He said without looking anywhere but his brown eyes.-Let's go to the room. -Bethany asked, breaking free from her husband.They followed the bellboy in charge of their luggage to the elevator and then to the room whose door had the number 25 engraved on it."Is this the same room you booked that day?" Bethany asked as she entered the room, feeling overwhelmed again by the feeling of having been in that place.Ciro waited to say goodbye to the bellboy after rewarding him before responding.-I was staying two floors up, this is the room you booked. You brought m

    The next morning, Ciro took her to see Rome, visiting every place they had visited ten years ago, when they had met. They also explored others for the first time. The Italian found the effects of love mind-blowing. How he could be fascinated by the capital of his own country as if it were the eighth wonder that had just been discovered. He knew that he felt that fascination for Bethany. At her side, everything, even the smallest thing, was fascinating, but nothing could surpass her. If her father had never fallen in love with anyone, it was because he had never met anyone like Bethany in his life.They went to a terrace to enjoy a delicious lunch in the best Italian style and with a prodigious view of the city.-Simon. - Bethany said suddenly during the meal. Cyrus repudiated talking about the dead.-What's wrong with him?- Do you think we should name our son that? - This didn't make him any happier. He wished she would give up the idea of being a mother, but he knew it was impossibl

    Incessant whispers frightened Bethany's good sleep as she woke up alone in bed, still in the hotel room. The little voices were still there, with the occasional laugh that crept in. The woman felt anxious about going out to discover the origin of the whispers, so she got out of bed and walked outside the bedroom. The lights were dimly on.She was greatly surprised when she noticed Brahim standing on the balcony, talking happily with Ciro. Nearby, the whispers were turning into clear voices. She hid behind the thick curtains to listen.-I'm lucky to have her in my life and that she loves me so much. - Said the older brother.-The lucky one is her, because the destiny that awaits her is the same, if not similar, to that of Anne.-Get those ideas out of your head. Bethany is not like her and now that we are married I will not let her go for anything in the world.-Brother, I can promise you that I will take his life the same day he dares to leave you.

    Back in Florence, back to their daily lives, Bethany and Ciro went to the obstetrician, she with the fervent hope of having become pregnant during their heavenly honeymoon and Ciro feeling so miserable that he could not look her in the eye.They waited quietly in the specialist's office for him to return with the test results. The Italian had urged her to perform the test at home with a pharmacy test, without blood samples or other complicated procedures, but Bethany did not want to risk false positives.The door opened and the inexperienced woman sat up anxiously. Her husband, who had already known the outcome, took her hand in support."I'm sorry, Bethany. There's no baby," the doctor said when he was already seated in his chair on the other side of her desk. The woman's shoulders slumped and her fissures took on the clear signs of sadness.-I don't understand what's going on. We've followed all of his treatments to the letter. - She said disappointed.

    The billiard balls collided with each other, creating a pleasant acoustic for Brahim. He would have been playing on the green carpet table for a little over an hour, alone. He had locked himself in that room, longing not to continue listening to the newlyweds having sex. Imagining Bethany naked made him sick, and hearing her reach ecstasy was not much better. His situation was like when they were little, always envying and desiring what belonged to his brother. In childhood they were his toys, in adolescence they were his friends, and now, as adults, his wife. It could be explained as a tiny but latent complex that made him feel inferior to his brother. He had enough with his age.A noise made him look towards the entrance and he saw his forbidden fruit entering. Her reddish hair dripped with water, showing that she was coming out of the tub.-And Cyrus? -He asked immediately.-Showering.Brahim leaned over the table to hit the cue ball with his cue stick

    The Tonali brothers were lying in one of their drug factories checking the quality of the newly manufactured product that was about to be marketed throughout Europe and parts of Asia. Ciro leaned close enough to sniff a small sample, finding it top quality. He didn't taste his merchandise, he always thought of himself as a weak man and was afraid of becoming addicted too easily. On the other hand, Brahim had no problem putting a little of the drug in his mouth. His taste buds felt immersed in a feast.-The best thing ever made. -The youngest praised. Ciro looked at his employees who were preparing the product to be sent in different modes of traffic across borders, customs and other police points, thinking about how magnanimous his business was, however, there were still certain details that bothered him, such as being limited in sales. A problem that resurfaced a little over six months ago, when they w

    Michael was sitting in his gasoline sedan parked near the main square in Florence, drinking a cappuccino, he was the third. He was meticulously looking at one of the benches where Bethany was sitting. She did nothing but stare at the non-existent horizon, lost in her thoughts.Disdain was reflected in his dull eyes and elongated features. It was the fourth day he had come to that square to do nothing. He would spend the day on that bench sheltered under the shade of an old tree until dusk announced his departure. Michael had been following his trail the whole time. Without getting too close to the Tonali mansion. He knew that the moment one of the brothers detected him snooping around their property, it would be the end for him. He would disappear just as Anne had, without a trace or suspicion.He got out of the car and adjusted his jacket. He crossed the street and arrived at Bethany's side without her seeing him coming.-What a surprise. -Michael pretended tha

    answering machine. He had listened to the message three times already, still unable to believe it. He walked over and played the audio for the fourth time:-I'm recording this message for anyone who might be interested: I'm Bethany Carter, or so I think. I'm stuck in Italy and I need help getting back to the United States.He slammed his fist against the small wooden table. He had no doubts, it was Anne's voice. It had been a long time since he last heard it, but he would never forget it. Even in his dreams he could make it out so clearly that it was as if she were right in front of him. That melodic tone that had been the ringing tone of his life for years.A sea of feelings came to him. Anger, emotion and nostalgia surged through his turbulent soul. In the end, he didn't know why he was crying. Maybe it was because of helplessness, since no one believed him even when he was right. His beloved Anne was still alive.She forced herself to compose

    Later that day, Bethany would try for the umpteenth time to leave the house. Inside the Tonali mansion everything was rigorously guarded. Privacy was limited, almost non-existent, so she had to go to a place that was far from the control of her husband, who luckily was not at home at that moment. Her main problem was the guard who practically welcomed her to the mansion. The corpulent man did not leave the small room next to the huge iron gate for anything, not even to eat. He only left his post when he needed to use the bathroom, which was a small room inside his guardhouse.Bethany was playing with the dogs on the large green porch, pretending to be unaware of the security guard who didn't even suspect her intentions, which gave her peace of mind to look at her cell phone. The anxiety that dominated her at that moment manipulated her perception of time in a cruel way, making her believe that sixty minutes would pass as dozens of hours, and the security guard remained firm i

    The relationship between Ciro and Brahim was clearly fractured. They rarely spoke to each other and the few moments they shared were filled with tension. There was a thin streak of hostility between them, just waiting to explode. Brahim tapped his golf club against his SDR sneakers , glancing at his brother, who until now had been acting rationally, if a little distant.-How are things going with Bethany? - She asked, throwing Ciro off balance. He preferred to concentrate on his shot so as to stop himself from giving her a murderous look."You mean how they walk after having rolled around with you?" he said hostilely, lamenting his bad shot that left the victory on a silver platter for Brahim.-No. I mean about the private detective. -Ciro ignored him. He didn't want to tell him anything about his wife. Brahim stood in front of his brother and continued: -I've looked at the inform

    Sand Wedge club hit the small white ball which rolled into the hole. The firstborn strutted about his achievement and shouted claims as he got ready for the next shot. Brahim was absorbed in his reality, not even realizing that Ciro was about to steal his turn. He watched intently towards the balcony of the main room. Bethany was standing there, returning his stalking gaze. With the cool breeze of the wind ethereally stirring her reddish hair. In the last few days, Ciro had become a kind of guardian angel who watched over Bethany day and night from the temptations of “Lucifer.” That distant glance was the first contact that reunited the well-matched lovers after several weeks of ignorance. Brahim had wished to have the opportunity to talk to her, although he didn’t know very well what he would say to her. That last conversation they had had left him with a lot to th

    Ciro was tying his tie with great effort, making mistakes over and over again until he lost his patience. He was not used to tying it himself, usually Bethany helped him, who did it in a flash. But this time he couldn't go to her or he would ruin what he had in mind. Surrendered to frustration, he left the knot badly tied and the tie crooked, thinking that it looked better than he thought, and even if it didn't, he wouldn't waste any more time on it. That ridiculous accessory had taken up a lot of his time, more than he spent on any other piece of his suit. Suddenly, a ringing sounded that wasn't his cell phone. It took him a while to realize that it was the small android he had confiscated from the detective. He walked over to the nightstand next to his bed and pulled the noisy device out of the top drawer where he had kept it. "Unknown" was written on the identifier, it was a number that wasn't regi

    Bethany's bare feet touched the green grass, damp from the sprinklers the gardener had put up earlier.The iron gate was right in front of her, and it looked farther away than usual. Only by crossing those bars would she achieve freedom, or at least the beginning of it. She began to walk slowly, almost on tiptoe, being as stealthy as she could. It was early in the morning so Ciro was sleeping, if she didn't escape now, then there wouldn't be another one. She quickened her pace, feeling very slow, but the bars were getting further and further away.-Bethany! - She heard her captor's fierce scream from inside the house. Ciro had woken up. It didn't matter anymore to be stealthy. Her fast walk changed into a run for her life.She ran as fast as she could, but she still couldn't close the distance to the iron gate. And if her suffering wasn't enough, the dogs came out of their den straight towards her. She understood that they weren't there to keep her company but t

    After leaving Michael's house, Ciro, with disgust making his blood boil, was about to arrive home, however, he was not ready to face his wife. What would he say to her? How would she react? This last question was what scared him the most. He had never reacted violently to her, not even the first time of her infidelity, but he was not sure he could handle it as well now. This time he felt like his soul was being squeezed and all he wanted was to destroy something with his fists, until he saw them bleeding and raw, and his anger flowing out through his wounds, they had to be huge openings. He stopped at a pole dance without being completely aware of what he was doing. His mind was only focused on revenge, as it could not be otherwise considering what he did. He sat at one of the tables to watch the women dressed in lingerie dance on the pole. He ordered a bottle of rum that he intended to drink

    Everything was a blur. Flashbacks flashed through his mind where he was running, constantly looking back. He tripped and the next thing that took a bit of force in his memories was the sting in his head from a hard blow. As he fell, he remembered saying goodbye to those he loved.When he began to become aware of the events, the first thing he noticed was that his body was immobilized. His arms and legs were tied and dead to his will. Someone immediately removed the cloth bag that covered his head. It took him a few minutes to adjust his vision to the light; it seemed like he had a lighthouse right in front of him.-Good morning. –He heard a voice. He had spent a lot of time investigating and meddling in the Tonali's life to know that it was Brahim.He was standing very close to Michael while Ciro was a little further back, glaring at him. And around him were five men dressed in black. The detective noticed that they were in the house he had bought

    Bethany had been craving a latte, so she decided to go down from the bedroom to the kitchen. Ciro had left for some time, somewhere she didn't know, and he still hadn't arrived.He entered the kitchen, which was completely empty. The maids had already left for their respective homes when they finished their work shift. He prepared his drink very slowly, not wanting the rush to spoil its good taste. Latte coffee was his favorite. Its flavor brought back family memories that stirred his nostalgic sense. He drank it out of a kind of masochism.She made a face of disgust when she saw Brahim entering, thinking she was alone. The man leaned his right shoulder against the edge of the entrance and prepared to look at her with seductive airs. Seeing that Bethany was not fazed by his eagerness, he took the initiative to approach her and moved one of her locks of hair away from her face."What do you think you're doing?" She asked as if it were the strangest thing anyone had ever done to her."W
