2025-03-15 02:00:09The 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.

Bethany had arranged to meet Dr. Lamberti, who had arranged to meet her in a remote part of Florence, late at night. The stunned woman needed more and better explanations of her accident, and emails were ineffective in satisfying her curiosity.-That day you were taken to the hospital by the paramedics who arrived at the scene of the accident. Your vital signs were weak, you were literally a breath away from death. But the car crash only caused you fissures and superficial wounds. Your real problem was in your head, a bullet that lodged in the lower part of your neck. - Bethany unconsciously put a hand to that area and felt the stitches. - It was a miracle that the operation went as well as it did. As stipulated in the regulations: any bullet wound must be reported to the authorities. But before I could give notice, your husband came to me threatening to hurt my family if I reported it. He suggested that the best thing for me was to hand the case over to another doctor with t

It was a busy morning for James as he packed his briefcase while preparing breakfast to take Lauren to high school before heading off to work. He sipped his coffee cup, reading through the notes he had made the previous afternoon. When he did something, he made sure it was the best it could be.-In other news, authorities announced an increase in deaths caused by methamphetamine. -Then James turned to look at the television screen. The report described the consumption of this narcotic as a pandemic, which was distributed on the streets of the United States, like candy at a children's party.- Are we leaving, Dad? - Lauren asked, gathering her things from the couch. It took James a few minutes to give her his attention, the revealing news had him distracted."Sure, honey," he said at last. He left his cup, still filled with coffee, on the counter and followed his daughter out.James was silent, deep in thought, something unusual for him, especiall

Bethany threw clothes and other belongings into a carry-on suitcase. She would leave that very day to any part of the world, far away from the attractive and dangerous Tonali brothers. And far away from the fairy tale they made up just for her. Not even her parents were real, which made her wonder how deep that sea of lies went.With a poorly packed suitcase and fear gripping her soul, she approached the side table, trying to find her passport, but it wasn't there. She searched the second drawer, taking it out completely and emptying it on the floor, but she couldn't find it either. She searched every corner of the room, knocking everything over and messing everything up. She paused for a moment in the chaos she had made herself. Her passport had to be there.-Ciro. -He exclaimed to the immensity of the air. Having an accurate answer as to what happened to his document.Without wasting any time, he set off in his truck towards the offices of the firm, in the cen

Ciro and Brahim lay in the back of one of their cargo trucks. They reveled in the large amount of money their employees had brought them from the United States, the product of drug sales and a little from illegal arms smuggling. It was not the largest sum they had ever made in their lives, it surely exceeded, and by far, what they made daily in Russia or Mexico, however, what had them overflowing with happiness was having challenged the supreme authorities of North America and being immune. Only months before the FBI breathed down their throats, they undertook a marathon that saved them from the cages. This loot was counted for pride.-And you told me it was crazy. - Ciro reproached his brother as they got off the truck."And I stand by it," Brahim said confidently, shaking his hands.-You have little faith in me, brother. - Cyrus added with a smile that stretched from end to end of his shining face.For Brahim, America was just another country o

Early in the morning, Michael headed east of the city, towards the Carter Real Estate Company . He was anxious, as he could not have been otherwise, considering that he had heard absolutely nothing from Bethany for several days. A woman who had taken up sitting on a bench in the main square as a hobby, suddenly stopped going. And being aware of the lineage to which her husband and brother-in-law belonged, his worries were more than justified. Bethany was a threat to the brothers, so their lives were conditioned. Although she was a complete stranger, Michael could not stop worrying about her. He was living under a delusion.He arrived at the company and prayed to his gods that everything would go well, not only for Bethany but for himself as well. From the first moment he set foot on that property, he had put his life at risk. He was under the radar of the Tonali brothers, that was for sure. Every move had to be careful."I'm looking for Bethany Carter," he ask

Bethany sat on the bed with her back against the wooden headboard and her legs stretched out. All that could be heard in the room was her quiet breathing and the wind that occasionally made the balcony curtains flutter. She didn't do much else for the rest of the day. She only left the room when she was absolutely sure that Ciro wouldn't be there, and that he wouldn't be here for a long time. Facing him was becoming more and more difficult.He heard a knock on the door and got up, assuming it was Silvia who had kindly brought him dinner. That was how things had worked the last few days. He opened the door and found Ciro. He wanted to close it immediately, but the Italian stood in the way.-I'll invite you to dinner. -Ciro said.-I wouldn't go around the corner with you. - He refused with hostility.-I know, that's why I organized a little soiree here. You just have to go down to the dining room.-Cyrus, you..."I insist," he bellowed, antici

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

Brahim was more focused on the rearview mirrors of the car than on the road. That mysterious figure behind the tree put him on alert. In their position, they could be police officers or enemies from other mafias, whatever it was, it was bad.- Answer me: why were you in that square? - Brahim asked Bethany, very seriously."What does it matter?" was the bland answer that made him furious. He slammed his hand on the dashboard of the car, stealing all of his companion's attention.-Damn it! Answer the question. -He looked at her with his eyes burning with anger.-I was waiting for nightfall so that when I got home, Ciro would already be asleep. - She lied skillfully. Brahim didn't care about Derek's life, nor did he care what she did or didn't do.-Well, you've caught the attention of some unwanted people. - Brahim said, moderating his tone of voice. Bethany followed his curious gaze to the rearview mirror to see an insignificant taxi following them.-Who do you think it is?"I don't kno

When Bethany arrived at the Tonali mansion, she found Ciro feeding the dogs. The Italian didn't notice his wife's arrival until he had already parked. In the past he would have approached her to greet her with a big hug, now he limited himself to spreading a sad smile without stopping his work. Bethany got out of the vehicle slowly, looking suspiciously at Ciro, thinking about what she had talked about with Brahim. Her stomach turned with disgust at the thought that the guy who had presented himself as an angel when she was in the hospital was actually a monster.- Where were you? - Ciro managed to ask before his wife disappeared into the house. It was not a possessive question but an attempt to start a conversation.- Walking. - He summed up, not wanting to get into a web of lies that could easily go wrong. Bethany continued into the house, and Ciro finished his work. He followed her into the ma

It was midnight and Michael was lying under a bridge in a little-frequented square in Florence. As soon as he heard about the raid on his house by Ciro's men, he grabbed a bag in which he packed a few cans of food and two changes of clothes, and he disappeared into the streets, wanting to hide from the Tonali brothers. He had played with fire, and now the fire was burning everything. He had to be careful not to get engulfed by the flames, so he got rid of all his identifications: fake and real; also cards, checks and his cell phone, any device that could put him on their radar.The money he had was enough to survive a few weeks, but sooner or later it would run out. He had to find a quick solution and that would be his employer: James Beghue. As soon as he agreed to his blackmail and paid the forty-eight million dollars he was asking for to hand over the information he had gathered. James was a man desperate to find out about his wife, so he was guaranteed that he would pay h

A small, not at all luxurious car parked on the sidewalk in front of Michael's house. A couple of men got out of it, dressed in tracksuits and tank tops, giving the impression that they had just come from the gym. They greeted the neighbors they passed very politely, and walked to the entrance. No one would suspect them; at first glance they seemed to be good people, and the ease and naturalness with which they entered Michael's house made one believe that they were acquaintances of the neighbor.- Check back. I'll take care of these areas. - One of the men ordered the other. He put on gloves and began to open drawers and move objects around. Ciro had given them precise instructions: to collect everything they could find, whether it was revealing or not. The Italian wanted to know who Derek was. Who his family was, what he did for a living, what size shoe size he wore... He wanted to know everything. Bu
