2025-04-14 02:00:11It was 2:13 in Italy. Ciro's sleepless nights had already become a habit, as had his taste for liquor. He was in the cellar of his house drinking Sicilian anise, the bitter taste of which was accompanied by equally bitter memories that revived the moment when his own brother, blood of his blood, told him that he had impregnated his wife, the woman of his life. If he got drunk it was not to forget, he never understood people who drank to forget their sorrows, he kept them fresh in his mind, he did it to be able to fall asleep. He used liquor as a soporific substance.
The silence of his solitude was broken by the ringing of his cell phone. He took the device with his free hand, without letting go of the glass of anise, and glanced at the caller ID, noticing a call from one of his lackeys. He pressed the green button and brought the cell phone to his ear, while bringing the glass to his mouth.

Anne found herself facing a wooded area of more than fourteen thousand two hundred hectares, she had already crossed them on her own foot, although this time it was different, because she had a pair of criminal brothers following her. She couldn't go down the main road, the only path free of weeds and leaves, where the vehicles moved, it would be too obvious. She advanced along the right furrow, clearing her path of branches and leaves, watching the ground carefully to jump over puddles or stones that she could trip over. She wasn't sure if there were snakes or spiders hiding in the undergrowth, she had no room to think about it, the real danger was the Tonali brothers. Her heart leapt into her chest when she became aware of the echoing footsteps following hers. She quickly hid behind the thick trunk of a tree, hoping not to be seen. She heard the static typical of radio communicators, followed by the booming

The vastness of the forest was reduced to Ciro's feet, he knew it like the back of his hand, and that was no exaggeration. He had grown up there, he had played hide and seek with Brahim many times, he had also walked there with his father looking for wildlife to hunt. He would never have imagined that in the future he would hunt his wife. It was when he understood that he was not the master of his destiny, which was what scared him the most.- Where are you taking me? - Anne asked, finally calming her tears. She walked ahead of Ciro, one of his hands holding her thin neck, while in her free hand she held the gun in the area of her lower back.-Brahim is waiting for us. – was all he said. He felt his heart squeezing, resisting this act of cruelty towards his wife, the woman of his life.

Once again, Bethany woke up in a bland, cold hospital bed, but this time it wasn't in Florence, and her name wasn't Bethany either, but Anne. As soon as she arrived on American soil, she felt immense relief; she would finally stop fighting for her life. She was taken to a hospital that offered exclusive services to law enforcement officers, veterans, and their families. They subjected her to different tests, from blood tests to a psychological study. Finally, she was alone, lying on her back looking out the window at a moon that was a couple of nights away from being full; it was just as beautiful as in Italy. She thought about Brahim, if she had gotten to a hospital in time or if he would have died in the helicopter. And she also thought about Ciro, about that last promise he had made her. She didn't want to obsess, but it was almost impossible. If she had learned anything from Ciro Tonali, it was that he was stubborn; he would do everything possible to keep his word. "Bethany"

A little over four months later, Bethany Carter woke up from a coma in a dull, cold hospital bed in the glamorous city of Florence, Italy. With no memory of who she was, retrograde amnesia was her diagnosis. Dr. Vitto, a man who, despite his advanced age, did not succumb to the deterioration of old age, passed a soft light through her eyes, finishing the routine examination.-Very well, Miss Carter. Everything seems to be in order, but that is something that only you could confirm for me. Tell me, have you noticed anything wrong recently? - Asked the doctor."No, not at all," Bethany replied, sitting on the bed, wearing a hospital gown. She was a pale-skinned woman with reddish hair that fell just below her shoulders.-Perfect. - Vitto exclaimed sympathetically, standing in a corner. -Mr. Tonali is waiting to see you. Would you like me to allow him to enter? - He asked. Bethany twisted the sheet nervously. In the last week the only contact she had had was with her doctor and some nurse

In the middle of the night, Bethany was tossing and turning in bed, out of respect, Ciro left the master bedroom for her alone, while he moved into a guest room. The woman was attacked by what seemed to be nightmares. A pair of black orbs that looked at her in a solemn darkness and hands that squeezed her thin neck. She struggled to survive, although she was slowly losing consciousness. Finally, she woke up startled when in her nightmares she fell to the floor.She sat up, breathing heavily, looking around. She turned on the lamp on the side table, recognizing the room she was in. Her memory was still ineffective, and it was disturbing. She stepped onto the floor, barefoot, and approached the door, opened it, and poked her head out; everything seemed to be in order: it was quiet and dark, normal considering the late hour of the night. She went back into the room and locked the door, also the one to the balcony. She went back to bed and fell asleep more peacefully.As dawn came, the su

Bethany's bed was a sea of dresses of all colors and shapes, she couldn't find one that suited the occasion.The plum-colored, strapless, knee-length taffeta dress seemed ordinary to her. She threw a little tantrum and started to take off the tenth dress, when she lowered the neckline she noticed the scar on her abdomen again. The anxiety she had for an explanation was so deep-rooted that her memory combined vague memories of a baby: she held him in her arms and on other occasions she put him to sleep in a crib. Bethany wondered if they were really memories or if her mind was playing dirty and only giving her what she wanted. She made a note to clarify it with Dr. Vitto at the next check-up appointment.Dressed only in her underwear, she went into the wardrobe and took her time selecting one of the umpteen dresses that were there, one more charming than the last. It seemed amazing to her how she couldn't choose one when they were all elegant.-Bethany? - She heard Ciro's voice on the

Early in the morning, Ciro accompanied Bethany to her appointment with Dr. Vitto. They sat in his office at the desk while the doctor looked for the results of X-rays and other tests.Bethany had been reluctant to speak to Dr. Vitto about the dreams and visions that had recently plagued her. She was reluctant to do so in front of Ciro, who never left their side.-Is there a problem? -Bethany asked, noticing that Ciro's attention was focused on his cell phone that wouldn't stop ringing.-Nothing about life or death. It's my job. - He barely took his attention off the device.-If you have to go, I would understand.-Not yet. There's something I'd like to show you when we get out of here. - Ciro said.Dr. Vitto entered, looking through the papers in his hands. It was difficult to decipher his austere face.-Everything seems to be in order. - The doctor said, finishing with a smile.-Yes, that's how I felt. - The woman confirmed. C

She settled into bed and tried to get back to her books, but found it impossible. The encounter she had with her brother-in-law had unsettled her. The way he looked at her and the woman he spoke of. Not knowing the details that others knew put her at a disadvantage, and she disliked it. She squeezed her eyes shut in a vain attempt to remember something, but all her mind offered were the visions she had already experienced with bitter feelings accompanying them.Why did work bring back so many memories? She thought. Joining his company was a sigh of relief, and she longed to experience more of that, but it was almost an illusion. She looked at the house she lived in for just under ten years and it was unknown to her. Also the man she once loved, although she couldn't deny that she felt safe with him. Ciro was a good man, attentive and respectful, who made it clear to everyone how much he loved her. She s

Around nine o'clock at night, Michael, handcuffed and guarded as if he were a high-ranking leader of some South American Carter gang, returned to his native country, the United States. The autumn breeze that blew, carrying with it the smell of hot dogs, hamburgers and tacos, the English accent resonating on every corner and the delirious people walking the streets talking to nothing, welcomed him to a land to which he never thought he would return. SWAT convoy he was transported from the helipad to the operations headquarters. Once there, lower-ranking officers processed him, offered him a more comfortable coat, and fed him. Michael was not averse to any deal, and when he had to be cooperative, he was. However, he did not ignore the failure to read his rights. He was not wrong in assuming that this was no small oversight. The feds were running roughshod over legislation. They called law only

With two hundred thousand euros in his pocket, Michael had lived the last few months like a celebrity: traveling, going to and from parties, drinking alcohol in abundance and consuming other substances, and in addition to all this he had the pleasant female company of some women who would do anything in exchange for money. But he was not stupid, he knew that in the shadow of his gloating there were consequences. He had sold valuable information to the Italian mafia with an FBI agent in danger. That is why he was not surprised when he saw a BND patrol. (Federal Intelligence Service in German) parking outside the five-star hotel where he was staying for more than seven days. He swore and quickly packed a couple of wads of cash and some gold and silver items, anything of considerable value, into a small gym bag. His days of jubilation were over, and he now had to answer to higher-ups. Although i

They left the mansion aboard the already familiar Mustang bound for Florence. The city was invaded by the artificial lights of billboards, street lamps and shops stealing the spotlight from the moon that shone in its maximum splendor. Anne watched her through the window, following her as if she were trying to protect her from the man who was driving beside her. Ciro had not said a single word since they left the mansion. Not even when he saw her back wearing the dress he himself had chosen for her. He had only made sure that she was wearing the wedding ring on the right finger.“Where are we going?” Anne asked, choking on the silence. She was ignored. Ciro ignored her question as if she hadn’t said anything. The journey had seemed long for Anne, perhaps it was the distance from one point to the other or the silence. But they finally arrived. The restaurant was familiar to Anne, she had

A second ultrasound revealed healthy fetal development, in harmony with the mother who had followed Dr. Lamberti's instructions to the letter. The pregnancy was already beginning to be an external reflection, her flat abdomen was growing, forming a small, though noticeable, belly. They left the consulting room (or rather, Lamberti's house). Anne had an inconceivable feeling. A second look at her son left her strangely moved. She couldn't say if it was like this the first time, with her firstborn, or if it was a new sensation, either way it wasn't right, the situation she was in didn't allow her to think of sleeping teddy bears or color palettes. As much as it hurt her, the fate of that child was still in doubt.-Hey Anne… - Brahim suddenly said, staying a couple of steps behind, she had already opened the door of the Roll Royce - I feel like I owe you an apology for everything I've said

Although he would have liked to say nothing to James about the letter, Jonas saw no other alternative, so he traveled to the journalist's house and explained the situation SWAT was in, that blind spot from which it was not moving forward, and the solution he had approved as effective.-The private detective you hired would probably have found the house of these two criminals. - Jonas said. - If you give me the information he collected, maybe we can find an address.-That damn detective turned out to be a con man.-That!-As you hear. He was asking for more, much more than what was agreed in exchange for what he had discovered. I lost track of him weeks ago, I haven't heard from him again. - Jonas listened attentively, thoughtfully. It was not an option that was ruled out.-Give me his details and everything you know, or think you know about him, we will find it somehow. -And so James did. Michael was not a hidden or mysterious character, on the con
