Chapter 72

In the three hours (and a bit more) that Ciro had been investigating Derek, he had found absolutely nothing about him, he was a ghost. He was somewhat relieved to know that he didn't belong to any police force, but there was still the lurking possibility that he was a member of some organized crime gang. Perhaps he was a lackey of Voslov's who had sent him to investigate his precious Bethany further and she could have unburdened her sorrows to him, possibly even told him the truth in an attempt to help him.He slammed the lid of his laptop shut and pushed that catastrophic thought out of his mind. Voslov couldn't be such an idiot as to challenge the Tonali brothers; starting with life.-Ciro. - His wife called from the entrance to his office. The man looked up at her. - Can I come in? I want to talk to you."Sure, go ahead," the Italian agreed, trying to tone down his temper.Bethany entered the room with a soft step, feeling helpless. In that of

Chapter 73

James' spirits were low. The bank had refused to lend him a loan, and this was his last option to find enough money to pay Michael's blackmail. The information the detective had in his possession was gold to the desperate man. No matter how much money he wanted, James would be willing to pay it, even though he had already drawn a target for the detective. Michael had no idea what kind of enemy he had made.He arrived at his gym, which was open to the public. His most loyal customers greeted him, as did the employees. James responded to the greetings politely, but without any happiness. He walked to the back of the premises, to a small area where boxing was practiced in a ring. There was no one there, so he chose that spot to think in solitude. The idea of selling the gym was throbbing in his mind, he would get enough to pay Michael and a little more, but he would be getting rid of his biggest source of income, and with a daughter who depended on him completely, it was not rea

Chapter 74

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

Chapter 75

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 main room, and before she headed upstairs, the Italian spoke again.-Have you hea

Chapter 76

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 him whateve

Chapter 77

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

Chapter 78

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

Chapter 79

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

Chapter 80

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

Chapter 81

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
