"You would never think of killing that man; you love him with a passion that I will never understand, so your annoyance won't change anything..." "Do you think I would be calm knowing that my only daughter is going to marry a man she doesn't even know?" she asked me in pain. "I'm not telling you to be calm or not, I'm telling you it's a total waste of time because the situation won't change," I retorted. "My father will tell you something that will placate you, and that will be the end of the problem. So, no, all this display of love that I don't need right now is unnecessary." "But, daughter..." "Mother, I won't have a normal life; it's going to change, and I'll have to give up many of my dreams for the protection they seek," I told her. "And I don't blame you, really, I don't, but all these decisions are the result of choices you and my father made. The fact that you accept being with him after so many years, knowing he lied to you and understanding that he's a married man with

"How is it that...?" "Those men have to report to me, especially if it involves your security. You're my fiancée, so you should be more than safe... no one, not even I, no matter how archaic and stringent the traditions may be, has the right to touch you. Never, so don't forget it."That reminder was good for me, more than excellent, because to some extent, it told me I could feel safe with him. But from there to it being a tangible reality, there was a long way to go."Thank you for the clarification," I told him, “But I resolved the situation completely, and by now, the boy should have faced disciplinary measures, problems to deal with.""He probably does...""Well, I...," I didn't even know what to say, honestly. We had no conversational topics, which made me furrow my brow, imagining what our interactions would be like."Rest, Amaya, I'll fall asleep with one of the readings you mentioned," he informed me, and I stopped him, curiosity piqued."You recommended Delta of Venus by Ana

I looked at the pile of machines with a furrowed brow. My mother, out of the blue, had decided to have the Italian bodyguards buy top-of-the-line computers for the children and the library. That was a lot, considering the number of people, so it wasn't a small expense, but the men did it without complaint. "This was too much, Mom..." "It's not, try to be there for the children. Kendra told me she called their counselors and everyone, as well as the representatives, agreed to come... They missed you a lot," she said proudly. It wasn't the first time I had come to the library or gossiped with Kendra; those two could get along well. However, the fact that she was there for me in that tough moment was like a glimpse of how sad everything could turn out to be. "I know..." At the hour, the kids entered and saw everything with amazement, but their happiness increased when they saw me. All five groups ran to hug me without hesitation, delighted to see me. "I missed you too!" I gave the

I had something to do in Berkeley. You could say I was there to see my fiancée, but after the unusual phone call we had, I was also there for another good reason: I had to give someone a good thrashing, one that would send a message.I walked calmly to my target's room, knocked, and smiled because there was no one in the hallway, and my men had taken care of the cameras, giving me some time before the head prefect showed up for rounds. When the guy opened the door, he was surprised to see a man with a golden mask and a custom-made suit."I'm sorry, I don't know you. Are you lost?""No, I'm exactly where I should be, ready to break your bones," I replied with a sinister smile.Before he could react, I grabbed him by the neck, pushed him into the room, and took his hand, twisting it with pleasure."This is for touching what you're not allowed to touch," I told him, and then I sent him crashing to the floor with brutal speed. "And this is for messing with my fiancée, harassing her, and d

That's why I didn't dwell on it. "Facciamolo, il tavolo è isolato e a nessuno interessa quello che facciamo o non facciamo.... Avete il coraggio di farlo o, no?” She looked at me as if she couldn't understand. “Potrei prenderti a calci in culo, ma non mi piace attirare l'attenzione su di me in pubblico." "Why not? It's a lot of fun." She looked at me angrily, and when the first batch of wings arrived, she ordered more, enough for the waitress to see us having fun, and she demanded extra spicy ones. "So, Alessio, tell me about yourself, tell me how you use that flashy mask," Pamela brought up, and Kendra choked in the process. "Mom... Please." "What did I say, question, or ask? I want to understand why you're so eccentric as to wear that on your face," she said casually. And I smiled. "I saved my sister from the fire; this mask is just a way to make myself more interesting, that's all," I downplayed everything. "She chose it, by the way, because she wanted to use a Batman one

The day of departure had arrived. I looked one last time at the university and wiped away the tears to contain the intense pain of leaving everything I truly loved to spend a few days at my father's house before traveling to Las Vegas with his family to resolve everything regarding the ceremony. It was so overwhelmingly depressing that I didn't utter a word. I just felt like I had to keep going, like I had to walk and let autopilot take over. I never imagined that upon landing in Los Angeles, I would encounter a different kind of hell, one I was truly unprepared for, one I had never been educated for, one for which I became the perfect target for a trio of women who found pleasure in humiliating the vulnerable. It was that bad. Starting with the first day, the day my father made the wrong decision to settle me in the main house, where dinner was held, in a guest room next to Ima's room. That wasn't the smartest move, because when I arrived and unpacked, the family's model looked a

"Miss, are you awake?" Octavio asked as I was changing. "The gentleman is here; he requested to see you, and they're preparing breakfast so you can have a comfortable conversation on the terrace." I froze at the information, mainly because it wasn't something I expected. However, given his appearance just two days ago in Berkeley, I no longer doubted that he would come to check on the situation. It seemed he hadn't received the memo, so I would have to make him understand the hard way. Annoyed, I left with the firm decision to tell him that he needed to stop controlling me. I already had enough with my father, the rest of them, and their demands. I was about to give him everything I had, so he couldn't ask for more. "What does he think he is?" I thought with irritation. But no one prepared me for what I saw next. When I turned to go out to the garden, Octavio approached me. "I think your father is waiting for you in the office," he said quickly, which struck me as curious. "He

Contrary to common belief that I was a terrible control freak, I came to pay a visit as a partner to my future father-in-law. A visit that had been planned since before the engagement but conveniently fit with the arrival of my fiancée and the events that unfolded with her. The fact that my men called me to tell me what had happened with Amaya, the way Ima confronted her, humiliated her, and ridiculed her, spoke volumes of their annoyance. They normally didn't get involved in women's fights, not after understanding that those were issues, they could handle themselves. However, I knew it was a delicate matter when they made her cry. "I don't want to sound arrogant, but Miss Amaya just wanted some peace because she was sad, but the fact that her sister pushed so hard was the last straw," Octavio explained after giving me a brief summary of my fiancée's capacity to reduce people. "She tore her books apart, in addition to attacking her directly. That's not only serious but also wrong."

"You should learn to respect me," she said angrily, with overflowing rage that pleased me. I raised my eyebrows in response and touched the spot she had undoubtedly marked on my face. There was no doubt she had a lot of strength, a strength I would love to appreciate with relish, with pleasure. "You shouldn't have done that..." I indicated to her in a very low voice. "Of course, but you shouldn't touch and kiss my sister..." "Ima is a beautiful woman who knows how to use her attributes to achieve her goals, like the one she just accomplished: making you furious, losing my trust, and seizing the opportunity to mess with you completely. If you can't see that, you're foolish, not to say stupid. But I let it slide because she looked delicious in that state of anger, in that state of shock, as if the greatest pain had completely overwhelmed her." "I don't care what she did or didn't do. I care that you were a complete fool who thought with the head between your legs and gave in, let y

Hiroshi was on the verge of having some kind of apoplexy; he looked extremely displeased that Hiro had decided to be honest. Because what was expected of him was to remain silent, so the fact that he was honest and gave it a deep analysis brought the situation to the forefront. "I'll make this easier for you," I said to my fiancée's father. "Check the security cameras; they will be your best judge." "I will," he said, and I saw Ima becoming restless. "We'll resolve this mess as soon as possible." "We have to, no doubt," I replied. "Dad, I think it's not necessary. Everything is based on the trust we have, as well as what we say and..." She herself seemed conflicted, and Dai looked at her sternly. Then she frowned as if she understood for the first time that her plan had gone awry, worse than she expected. She distanced herself from Ima, creating some space, making her father believe that she would agree with the punishment, if it were applied. It was convenient considering what
