The Tonali Brothers: Attractive and Dangerous. Chapter 38
The day of the big wedding was marked by clear skies and a not-so-stifling sun. The temperature was cool, something that had not been seen in Italy since the beginning of summer.Voslov stood at the window of his mansion, watching the mountains bathed in the golden glow of the sun. His eyes were sad and his attitude was that of someone in mourning. He had reason to believe that the day ahead was less wonderful than others believed."Sir, your breakfast is ready," said a young man whose small, puny frame made him look younger. Voslov turned to look at him with a dull look.He followed the little man into the dining room, a vast room with a gigantic oak table, absurd for a man who lived alone and did not allow his employees to sit down. He sat down at the top end, placed a napkin on his lap, waited for his cooks to prepare the dish, and began to eat. More than thirty employees were lined up waiting to receive an order."Is my suit ready yet? I'll be leaving

The hotel was the epicenter of chaos with employees running from one side to the other. It was a high-prestige wedding, nothing could go wrong. Voslov hastily cleared away the employees who were blocking the elevator, but not before asking where he could find the long-awaited protagonist. He pressed the button that would take him two floors up. In the hallway where the doors opened there was no one. A crushing silence echoed off the walls, interrupted only by their languid but firm footsteps.He stood in front of the door of one of the rooms. He inhaled and exhaled several times very quietly, giving the impression that he was performing some kind of ritual until he finally rang the bell. He was answered by a bodyguard."I want to see Ciro Tonali," he said, reserving his politeness."He's not available," was the man's direct reply. Voslov felt something spark inside him, making him furious. He couldn't tolerate such disrespectful treatment. Of course, the bodygua

Michael, or rather Derek, arrived at the wedding accompanied by a tall African-American woman with wavy hair and an elegant bearing, who could match the detective's tuxedo.- Remember: we are a couple without children, we lived in Naples until recently when we bought a house here in Florence. - He went over the alibi with his partner. She nodded, delighted to attend a high-class event for which she would be paid the not inconsiderable sum of thirty thousand euros. - Try not to talk to anyone and if you have to, say little. You can say that you don't yet master the language.-Understood. If you'd like, I could give you a hand with the whole investigation. - Karla offered.-It's better not. Just do what I tell you and try to go unnoticed, we'll see each other later.Each went their separate ways. Michael set out to talk to some of the guests who seemed more receptive to talking to a stranger. His intention was to find out more about the bride. What he had r

Lorient acted like the boss in the suite, ordering around left and right. She had told Bethany she had nothing to worry about, and boy did she mean it. The tantrum she threw when they brought her the wrong jewelry was no bigger than the one she threw when they showed up with the bouquet Bethany was supposed to be carrying. Sleepy white roses instead of lively red ones.-You're so late! When I ordered Belgian chocolates, I didn't think they'd come all the way to Belgium to bring them. - The bridesmaid scolded a delivery man who came in, embarrassed. Bethany wanted to say something in her defense, but she was afraid of Lorient's strong character.The maid of honor slammed the door shut once the boy was lying outside. She then turned to look at the bride with a smile. She was a complete lunatic.Both girls approached to eat the chocolates that would help calm their nerves, or at least that was the excuse that motivated them to eat them.-Are you mar

The guests were beginning to lose patience. It was almost an hour after the ceremony had started and the bride had not appeared. Ciro was so worried that he personally went up to find out what the problem was. He was not pleased to find out that his fiancée refused to leave the suite.-My dear, what's going on? -Ciro asked, knocking on the door, a bundle of nerves. He didn't care so much about the wedding, he just wanted to know if his beloved was okay, but there was no answer. He turned around to look for the bridesmaid. -What happened?-I don't know. I was with her until Caitlin arrived, so I decided to give them privacy. Then I came back and neither of them was there, after a while Bethany appeared in a flood of tears and when I tried to try to comfort her; to find out what was wrong, she pushed me out. - Ciro had barely waited for Lorient to give his explanations when he had already turned towards Caitlin. He grabbed her roughly by the arm and took her to a

The wedding march began to play and, as tradition dictates, the guests stood up to see the arrival of the long-awaited star. Slowly, she appeared down the aisle strewn with red petals.The bride looked closely at her fiancé, standing at the end of the aisle. She felt trapped by fate, unable to decide. Her feet felt heavy as if they were tied to a huge ball of cement. Running away was not an option. Meanwhile, her mind repeated over and over again, in the smallest detail, Brahim and Ciro's conversation. Her skin crawled and her eyes filled with tears. The uninitiated believed it was a product of emotion, so they put their hands on their hearts, moved.Red gave her a kiss on the forehead before leaving her at the altar in the hands of Ciro Tonali. Bethany's heart threatened to burst out of her chest from how fast it was beating. The groom could see her anguish. He tried to take her hand to reassure her, but she rejected him without dissimulation and clung to the b

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

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"

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. He had found her hiding behind the rock long before the agent did and he stood frozen, watching her in ter

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

It 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.-Sir, I have

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
