Semua Bab The Tonali Brothers: Attractive and Dangerous.: Bab 61 - Bab 70

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

Ciro meant it when he told Brahim that he would take care of Bethany whenever he couldn't be with her. That's why, early in the morning, the youngest of the Tonali brothers was at his brother's house."What am I supposed to do?" Brahim asked with obvious discontent as he watched Ciro finish shaving.-Just make sure he doesn't get into trouble, that's all. -He said simply."We're talking about a grown woman, not a child," argued Brahim, who found the idea of taking care of his sister-in-law to be at least stupid.-She's a very curious woman and she has reasons to be. -Ciro said, removing the shaving foam from his face. -Don't worry, you won't have to do much. She'll probably stay in the room most of the time.-And what will you do all this time? -Ciro looked at him seriously.-Voslov is in town and wants to talk to me.-Incredible. He'll threaten to reveal Bethany in exchange for more Italian land. And you, being so stupid, will give i

Ciro, sitting on the bottom steps of the ivory staircase, checked the time on his original Rolex every five minutes. It was almost time for dinner and he was starting to get impatient. The sooner they arrived, the sooner they would be back, and Voslov was not good at waiting.He sighed heavily and looked up, expecting to see his wife ready to leave, but it was no more than a hope. He snorted. What he feared most was going up to the bedroom and finding Bethany in a state of anarchy, refusing to go with him. Just like on their wedding day. He felt melancholy every time he thought of that day. He understood that sooner or later Bethany would have to discover some semblance of reality, but he hated that it had been that day of all days.Surrendered to despair, he began to walk upstairs. He did not even notice that his cotton suit had become wrinkled from sitting for so long. He knocked on the door with a racing heart."Bethany?" he said. He felt bad calling her by h

The glow of a full moon bathed the elegant Florentine city. From the balcony where Bethany was standing, she could see the river in the distance, flowing with an imperturbable calm, enviable for the chaotic soul of the woman who could not calm down.It had been a couple of hours since Ciro left her alone after he ran into old acquaintances and they invited him to their private poker tournament. Bethany considered the idea of staying inside and chatting with someone, she was sure she would find someone who was as lonely as she was, however, she remembered the place she was in, and the people invited. She wouldn't talk to engineers, doctors, much less lawyers, but rather they were mobsters; very powerful criminals. It was enough to decide to isolate herself from the rest, because she wanted to believe that she didn't belong to that shady world and that it was an accident that brought her together with Ciro, despite the fact that he told her that she knew who he was the day she

It was the first time in several days that Bethany had walked alone through the streets of Florence. Without any of her brothers looking after her, or at least that's what she assumed.She thought a lot about Brahim; about what happened the night before, wanting to understand why it happened. If it had been Ciro, she would have rejected him for sure. But when it came to Brahim, she didn't hesitate. Alcohol played a very important role, that was clear to her, but there was another reason. With Brahim it was a sexual experience, superficial. On the other hand, Ciro had sworn to make love to her and Bethany couldn't conceive it. As much as her husband claimed to love her, she couldn't believe it definitively. And she didn't want to get to a point where she would forget everything he had done to her, the lies and the deceptions and end up falling in love. Forgiving him was not an option.She arrived at the street called "la dolce far niente", a very pleasant neigh
