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

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
