-It depends on you.“I will keep my mouth and my son's mouth shut.-I hope so.I walk out of there leaving him with the memory of the motivation to remain quiet and get in the car with one less task.“How did it go?” Trevor asks me on the phone.-Perfect.—Next destination: —Caleb speaks— hell.****Two days later.This time I go alone while the others take care of the other. I get Napoli's text before entering the place where no one is waiting for me. I traveled in the private jet for six hours to land in this elegant and romantic country.I knock on the wooden door with my characteristic sound and without waiting for an answer I make my way."What lousy service from this place!" What kind of service do they hire here!? — I complain. The servants scream when they see me, they run and the armed men and women arrive pointing at me. My arrival is surprising for the French."Ryder, honey, what entrance is that?" The blonde appears on the first floor railing. She is just as beautiful as a

I locked myself in as soon as the ceremony was over, Patrick has been knocking on my door asking me to come out, that my father wants to talk to me. But he is so hypocritical that he is not even able to come himself to apologize, instead he sends his servant.I stay up all night hating it and in the morning I hear the soft knocks on my sister's door that lead me to open it. He looks at my arm with pity and then hugs me. I hold back my tears like never before and together we fall on the bed while she repairs my arm."I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have left...I downplay it.-How did it go?“Don't change the subject, Aria.

He no longer wanted it.She never knew what to do for her sister, but that afternoon, looking at the police series that Aria was watching, one of the cases that the police were solving caught her attention: a chemical poisoning to a lady.Ashton sells spices . She remembered and looked at her sister who was curled up on the couch with her legs wrapped around her chest and her cheek swollen from resting on her fist.When her dad returned home, Angie sat on the stairs watching her take her sister to the car and they marched like so many times. Once she was left alone at home, she stared at the wall for half an hour.She was an impulsive girl, she never calculated what she was doing or thought about the consequences it would bring. Jumping up, she entered her father's office and, smiling, searched for what she wanted to find.At night the family dined on the delicious food that Ariadna had prepared.

"Oh, it can't be, I shouldn't have brought you," he huffed and took out his phone, I thought he would give it to me but he only turned on the flashlight and entered the wall. Or well, behind her.I stared at the brick that he had pressed and tried to find an explanation as to how he knew that this was the one, because he went directly there without checking any more. But anyway, I would also take a picture with that brick. I have to tell Angie this shit.My smile was like that of a girl who had just met the Backyardigans. Ryder had fulfilled one of my most ridiculous dreams that night, he had given me a movie adventure and I had let me open my soul to him. The excitement in my chest made me wistful because it had been over eight years since I felt this genuinely excited.And suddenly, a phone appeared between the moved walls and I smiled like never before."Make it quick, I need the flashlight" he said and I yelled grabbing the device quickly before he regretted it.I turned on the ca

-I did not realize…He left without further ado and guilt invaded me when I saw injured people coming down from a plane, some seriously, others not so much. Others didn't even come back and I really wanted to cry for having caused that. I had only thought about taking care of my sister, I didn't think it was all a plan.They walked around me giving me dirty looks, pushing me on purpose. Some said things to me like: " very good, princess, you almost killed us again", "thank you, Aria, you have already shown us that you are destructive ". And thousands of insults telling me that I'm just a stuck-up girl who will kill everyone if I'm still here.Caleb got off one of the incoming planes, coughing. I saw a wound on his arm and wanted to get closer to help him. Dean was faster than me and got to him first, his med team following him out of the way."You, I need you to look for my sister and bring her here to me!" he ordered one of them and I felt guilty, if something happened to Morgan, Dea

"To save your friends' skins."Eddy laughed and took my hand to lead me quickly into the next room."How did you get it?" he asked me.-I'm skilled.He chuckled and we walked seriously when two security guards passed us. I gave Eddy a sidelong glance when I noticed him start to slow down. He also looked at me out of the corner of his eye and winked at me. Before I could do or ask anything, he smashed the glass of a painting housing a samurai sword on the wall, spun around so fast I could barely catch what was happening, and in no time at all a body fell to the floor with a clean cut to the face. throat."Take the other one!" I did as he asked pulling the second katana from the wall. I stood next to him watching how the guards who passed by us warned their comrades and now the hall was increasingly filled with threats— You remember what we practiced, right?-Yes."Time to put it into practice."We stand back to back and together we face the enemies. He on one side and me on the other.

-It doesn't matter. But I need to know why you really came, that thing about the daughter with cancer is no longer credible.Courtney laughs."Really, Lex?" Cancer? Poor Molly."Yes, I know, it was the first thing that occurred to me," he laughs softly and looks at me. If I have a daughter and she's eight, but she doesn't have cancer, I'm sorry. The truth is that I have issues to resolve with my brothers and since no one deigned to answer my calls I had to come."What business?""Personal things, precious, I can't tell you." He shares a look with Courtney. Obviously she knows."Well, I'll still find out."- How persistent.I smile at her and she returns it to me. This time, it doesn't look fake."So you, Trevor, and Ryder are little brothers?"He shakes his head after taking a bite of his sandwich. He takes his time eating and responding.—They are my brothers, but among themselves they are not brothers.My face must be a funny story because Courtney next to me laughs looking at me.“

"Whatever," is all he says.I clean what I can of her shoulders and study her abdomen. Dean gave me various classes on gunshot wounds and how to remove them or how to deal with the wound until I got to a hospital. The problem here is that I don't have anything to do either. I close my eyes trying to find a solution with the few materials I have. Nothing useful. If I don't find something to cure him, I have a feeling that he will sink his teeth into my eyes and tear them out mercilessly. I see it as a possible possibility."Your dolls," he whispers and he looks at me. In the right hand, below the shackle, a trickle of blood escapes. I clean it up quickly and keep curing it how I can."Let's do something," I murmured after a long time of silence. He stopped me in front of him, close and from below I look into his eyes. This will be a plan of the two of us, okay? No longer separate plans. We have to work together to get out of here and I know that I still don't know anything and that mos
