2025-03-12 02:00:07Incessant 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

A glass of rum on the rocks delighted the Tonali's exquisite palate. They were in the mansion's cellar, comfortably seated in chairs, chatting pleasantly, and the clock was closer to midnight than sunset. Brahim had not returned home after that day when Bethany had attacked him in such a spontaneous and extremely strange way. He laughed heartily when Ciro told him the reasons why he had acted in such a way. The farce had lasted too long.-You're an idiot. -Ciro told him for his lack of empathy. Brahim shrugged.- What do you expect me to say? It couldn't have come out any other way. I guess she's not happy.-She threw me out of the room. – Brahim burst out laughing again. Ciro finished his rum in one gulp, drowning out all the things he had to say to the cretin in front of him. – Stop laughing and tell me what else you hinted at about Anne, you loose tongue.-Nothing. I haven't spoken to her since she attacked me. -He said, drinking from his g

The next day, Dr. Vitto saw Bethany for a routine checkup. When Ciro told him she was delirious, he didn't want to postpone the appointment for long. Bethany didn't object, even though she knew she wasn't delirious.-Everything seems in order, Miss Carter.-It's Tonali. - Ciro corrected seriously, showing the ring.-Forgive me. -The doctor apologized. -I found no signs of brain damage that could explain the delirium. However, another factor that you must take into consideration is the psychological aspect. Amnesia is not easy to bear. My recommendation is that you see a therapist who can help you deal with all this. -He said affably. Ciro nodded, attacked by the cold indifference of his wife who ignored him without much effort.They said goodbye after Dr. Vitto had listed his list of fellow psychologists and recommended a few others. They stood in front of the elevator doors waiting for it to open.-Oh my gosh! I forgot my cell phone. - Bethany sai

After Bethany found that undesirable discovery in Ciro's office, the Italian decided to close his doors, denying her access. For Bethany, it was almost an invitation. He made it clear that there were still secrets to be discovered in there. And she had a lot to find out.Since Cyrus was not at home, the Lady of Fire took advantage of the opportunity to enter the forbidden room. She found the key in the top drawer of the side table in the room where he was now sleeping.Her skin crawled as soon as she entered the quiet, organized office. She walked slowly as if she were in a sacred temple. She opened drawers and filing cabinets looking for any other significant piece that would help her put the puzzle together.-What are you doing here? - Bethany heard a voice that made her jump and drop a folder full of papers. She turned around to find Brahim standing in the doorway. Better than Ciro."It's none of your business," he said gruffly as he bent down to pick

The house was getting too big for Ciro. His beloved's indifference was something that he felt was enormous, because she was usually cheerful, talkative and enthusiastic about the small details of life. She went from being the light of his life to being a withered absence inside him. It was as if he had lost her. That idea mortified him even more when he had just recovered her from the cold arms of death. No one knew how much it would have hurt him to have lost her, not even he could get an accurate idea of that suffering.He wanted Bethany back, to finally feel like his wife and not a stranger living in the same house. If he thought about it, he ended up talking more to his domestic employees than to his new wife. He couldn't go on like this.He knocked hesitantly on the bedroom door, having little hope that she would answer. To his surprise, the door opened, revealing her.-I want to ask you out. -He said with the shyness of a teenager on his first date.

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
