"He's been here," she gestures with her hand, and my hope withers immediately. "How does someone have the courage to pretend to be dead and come back as if nothing had happened?”"I wonder if my brothers thought the same when I went to Vegas with a wedding scheduled "I have a low laugh.Penelope watches me with a disgusting expression, the catheter in her nose even slides down a little with the tension of the muscles."Are you really finding this bullshit as normal as you're saying? Suzy, he must have been dead! He died! How can he come this way, out of nowhere, and stick this insane idea and without any place in our heads that he has become a God?”"Didn't you want to have your brother back? “I ask with an eyebrow arch. “Ready. There he is.”"This thing... "she fixes the catheter quickly, looking breathless. "This thing is not my brother!”“Yeah, yes. You didn't want to see it, but you are, Pen.”"Suzy, he was here with dad the day after I woke up. They didn't bother with the fact th

Deciding that this is enough, I take my bag in the chair and take this moment to breathe deeply, camouflaging my own discouragement. If she knew how much I want to cry and hide while all this mess is solved... But something deeper fills me with courage, and I have a serene smile on my face when I turn to the dim figure of a Penelope who one day was full of smiles and ready-made jokes."I don't know why he wanted you to know about it so soon, but we shouldn't think about something that hasn't happened yet. Your only concern at this time is to be in shape, Pen. "I tilt my body and leave a soft kiss on his cheek, but I take the opportunity to divert my mouth as close as possible to his ear and whisper: "You will hate me for this, but I will not allow him to have control over me again, even if he hurts the people I love. That won't end well for him, Pen. But it will end sooner than he imagines.”When I walk away, Penelope tries to contain the crying face, but her face wrinkles and tears r

"The most important thing is to remember that your expectations and needs will be taken into full consideration while we create a budget proposal that is of interest to you," I say in professional cadence, although I am praying for the end of this meeting."Great," replies the man who puts all his attention on me."We can reschedule this meeting for the next fortnight in order to deal with the theoretical scheme of our people, about the dynamics used in one of the companies we recently bought. But I hope there is no doubt that we can provide exactly what you are looking for to integrate a technology with high profitable levels in your company, aiming at the capital market, of course.”The executive who watches me from the other end of the meeting table tilts his head slightly as he opens a satisfied smile."I wouldn't expect less" he gets up, dropping the pen he was holding in front of the paperwork with the technical report that the IT sector staff prepared based on the guarantees th

My faith is the only thing that has made me breathe through this invisible collar that Jonathan has kept on my neck over the years, and it is more than enough for me to feel in my bones that I can give some use to the allies I have made. Especially for the gangster with whom I have an agreement."I got you, Jonathan... "I trust myself.“Suzy... “Colton emerges down the corridor with hurried steps. Blonde hair has grown a lot in recent weeks. Now he uses them pulling them slightly back, with the silky wicks fixing with subtle touches of ointment. And a thick beard is drawn on your strong jaw. I think he has avoided going to the barber for fear of being followed. “Can I talk to you? I won't take more than five minutes.”I open the door for it to pass and my eyes shine when I see the food cart in front of my table. Although it seems restless, Colton expects me to serve myself with dumplings and a new cup of coffee before sitting down.“Did something happen? "I ask, biting a sugar doughnu

It's late at night when we arrived in Washington. There is light reflecting on the windows of the house and the wooded path that leads us to the door. I can distinguish some silhouettes that make shadows inside, all certainly waiting for us. The sounds of our steps in the cemented area around the garden are soft, despite the dragging of our bags carried by one of my father's personal security guards.It's cold, but my hands are sweaty and one of them is firmly secure in Hunter's, as if none of us were very confident in what we can expect from this meeting.I've always found this house too exaggerated for two people, and now, watching it grow as we move towards it, I can't help but twist my nose for it. It is a two-storey house, with apparent beams with an imperial charm, and that can easily hide some stars from the sky with its steep and inclined roof.A structure too large for a conventional home, but not as immense as a mansion. A middle ground between luxury and comfort.My husband

Penelope had warned that each of the photos and videos she had taken would end up on some social network that I never used. It was part of his plan to get a permanent visa for Hunter and prove to immigration that marriage was real. That seems to have been centuries ago."It would have been important for you to be present," I say.Gabby takes one hand to push a lock of hair behind her ear and I notice the golden ring in her left hand. I was also invited to my father's second wedding, but I was not present. I feel really bad about it."Your mother hates me," she snorts. "By the way, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the right time to see each other again. There is a lot to be said between us... a lot of time making contact only through calls or text messages. It is obvious that there is some reason to be together again, just now.”Or maybe the reason for the removal was the respect they had for my psychological during all these years and my habit of paying attention to those who care little a

"What about your husband that needs to be kept confidential? "My father asks."By coincidence, he worked for Jonathan for a long time... And before him, for his father, Jon Maxwell. Hunter fled Turkey for being one of the children who were kidnapped a long time ago, and even though he was a witness to much of what happened, he is an accomplice. One of his parents is American, we don't know which one, but I think they are still alive, considering that Jonathan's men used this information for an ambush... Maybe Jonathan talks too much when he's arrested... You have to make sure you can avoid this.”"Did you marry someone who worked for someone else who wanted to kill you? “Gabby tilts his head to one side."Ah, he is the second "geticulum with shoulders, indifferent, and she frowns.My father watches Hunter for a moment more, ignoring his wife's astonishment, so he addresses me:"Talk about the part where you discover by yourself the name of who is the possible ally of the boy Maxwell w

"I learned through some contacts that you have had problems with the result of inspections of cargo ships... A lot of illegal merchandise going in and out without any control "comments Dante Laurentino, pulling out an imaginary dust from the glossy tuxedo he is wearing. "How many dockers have been fired and arrested on suspicion in recent months, Mr. Security Secretary?”Pascoal Killian does not outline any reaction as he sustains Dante's gaze, although his clear eyes shine subtly with the question."You certainly have good contacts," he talks, taking a sip of his glass of wine.Dante shakes his shoulders casually, leaning on the chair next to me."And you are really good at running away from direct questions, dear secretary.”I do nothing more than cast a sislaio look at you. A warning look, which doesn't work the way I expect. Dante is determined to corner every person who deigns to talk to us tonight. I don't think this is the best approach to finding a connection between Jonathan

I hold back a tremor when I turn towards the stage and see Jonathan standing next to the event organizer, smiling widely. He can find me easily, throwing his dark eyes on me as a silent threat. The man thanks us for attending the festival, talks briefly about the previous years and receives a much less warm round of applause by giving the word to his guest.For a moment, only the sound of coughs fills the silence, and Jonathan's gaze falters in paying attention to others and to me. He frowns when sending his gaze to the person next to me, and I can swear that I see a flash of anger on his face. He really wanted Hunter to be here.I don't dare try to find the agents in disguise, because Jonathan is placing his predatory attention on me as he repeats the thanks and introduces himself with his new name. I notice a peculiar kind of tension setting in gently, and I assume that this was the leave that the police expected; that he assumed the identity of a terrorist. But nothing happens. I l

My arm vibrates completely with the kick of the gun, but the shot hits its target with a disgusting sound of "crack" and an immediate splash of blood. The impact of the shot is slight, pushing muscles and bones before Jonathan has time for more than turning his face.The movement is useless, because despite the quick reflex in stretching your neck and preventing the bullet from crossing your forehead, there is still great damage at the height of the apple of your face, just below your right eye, very close to your nose.Even when Jonathan takes his hands to the blood, shouting incomprehensible words, I can see the way part of the right side of his face seems to have "getted" from his facial muscles, and the blood that shines dripping through his healed fingers. It's a hideous vision and makes my stomach turn around, but it's still not what I wanted to have happened, so I get ready to shoot again."Suzy... your whore" he roars, getting up right away and kicking my hand with the gun.Th
