Part IV. DecisionsPastFrom March to May 2010I was trying to make my life in Minneapolis when I was told I had to report for Abel Casey to be charged.I didn't want to go back, I had to beg and allude that I had a lot of problems about it, and the doctor who was treating me sent a report specifying that the trial would be very damaging to me. They made me go to Aberdeen to rectify it with some psychological analysis to back it up, then I asked the social worker in charge of my case if I could be left out of the whole investigation process, she said it depended on the results. That made me visit Grandpa Bruce, one who was aware of everything that was going on and when he came out of the horrible trials, he picked me up."I missed you very much, child.”"And I, to you, grandfather, thank you for helping me with the payment of the residency.""It's the least of it, although I'm terrified that you're alone in a city, I understand why you should do it, how's the work going?""Well, I'm i

PastJune 2010We were going to get rid of old Russo.That was the conclusion the three of us came to after learning the gender of the creature.She was a girl, one who would have problems as soon as she was born. That didn't seem fair to me, I didn't agree with how women were treated within the mafia, so I had to get into a plan that my brother came up with.We had no choice."My grandfather will come soon to check that everything is going well, I..."Diana couldn't continue talking without crying, the enlargement of her belly made her look prettier, however, she was much more susceptible than usual and that was starting to irritate my brother."I'll take care of everything at the gender reveal party, it's our closest opportunity," Adriano said seriously, "we'll leave before he comes himself, we'll say we'll take into account the doctor's recommendation to look for a specialist in early detection of diseases."That's when I realized he was very cunning, maybe too cunning, so I asked

PastJune 2010My decision was to keep quiet."You know all the crap, so you don't count," I replied and he squinted at me."Matteo wouldn't have brought these fools in for the sake of his being, so tell me what the hell you gave him in return."He made a good deduction, but you would never dare to show my cards to an adversary like him. With that in mind, I blurted out the only thing that would get him off my radar."Don't worry about it, just settle for knowing it's a favor," I said and ignored him."Then you're stupider than you think, so stupid you'll end up badly under our father's shelter," he muttered in my ear and walked away."Gods! Giulia said nervously. “It seems that this last year he became the monster he had been hiding forever. “"No, that was, only now, since the cards are already cast, he doesn't have to hide all his nature," said Enzo, who looked at the area as if he wanted to understand everything."We'll catch up when we get home, now I want Diana to be treated wel

Past From July to November 2010The judge's decision on my father's fate was still hammering my brain.Part of me had wondered how the Caseys had taken it, but then I told myself it wasn't my problem, so I had to deal with that information at my last therapy session in Minneapolis."Emma, we've had almost six months of therapy, months in which you've barely made any progress," my therapist said a little tiredly. “I can go on, we can go on in this, but if you don't do your part, I feel like we're not going to get anywhere.”"You know what I've been wondering? Why the hell do I come to sessions where my therapist can't understand what I'm saying?” I questioned angrily. I walked out of there like I was burning. At that, my lawyer's call snapped me out of my musings on my way to the nearest bus stop."Good morning, Emma, I'm notifying you that the court has ruled in your favor, the judge accepted the sentence and previous events to allow the name change, so tomorrow you can go and do al

PastDecember 2010My life had gone crazy.I was with my siblings, Diana and the baby, in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, hidden in the shadow of mob violence, looking to have a few days in peace. Some well-deserved ones that we were looking forward to, mostly for the peace of mind of Ariella, my niece.Burying Russo was an odyssey, Adriano thought it would be a day of action, Matteo said the conservatives would wait to give respect and Enzo said that Cosa Nostra follows traditions, they wouldn't put them aside for a young boy seeking revenge.Whether we liked it or not, we were already involved, so involved that when Ariella was born and they sent her the head of the nanny who took care of Diana, the one who intended to help her with the child, to the hospital itself."What the hell happened?" I asked once I entered the room.When I saw the open wooden box with the woman's head, I focused on the note hanging from it."You will have no peace until you give me what belongs to me, unt

PastMay 2011I had recovered, but I had lost a lot.The first thing I didn't expect to receive when I went to Matteo's office was the divorce papers."This came first thing in the morning," said my father's lover, Massimo, and after reading, I took a deep breath. “It's legitimate, so legitimate that they're dismissing your paternity in the process.”"I'm not going to give Diana a divorce, she's not asking me and this is something that smells like an obligation," I specified, and that's where Matteo entered."You're going to sign it," he ordered, and I refused his aberrant tone. “You'll do it because he sent this.”He threw me a USB stick, I caught it and he invited me to watch it on the computer, which I did. Upon entering, an mp3 video was played automatically, in it, Diana looked serious, well dressed, groomed and made up in a different way.As if another woman were showing up there."If you watch this video, it's because I made the decision to separate, it's the best thing for bot

PastJune 2011My life had just gone on.I started going to therapy once I was able to settle down.It wasn't easy at all, it was hard for me to be able to control everything so that things went well, so I fell into a good routine in which I worked long hours, I would come in making dinner for me and Lilly and we would watch trash TV.It was good, so one day when I decided to deposit money in my savings for college, I never imagined that they were following me, I was not aware of it until a man hugged me in the middle of the street and pointed his gun at me. The breath of alcohol and the touch were what brought me to a complete halt."Keep walking or I'll shoot," he muttered as another came over to hug me.He began to tumble."We're going to go to the bank, we know you're going to deposit your weekly paycheck, so today you're going to withdraw everything and you're going to go with us or we're going to shoot you at the same time that your mother, your grandfather and your cousins in B

PastFrom September to December 2011Recovering from the robbery wasn't easy, especially with Lilly still recovering from the accident and me starting a new job that didn't help me pay off debts.I felt trapped.One day, while I was working on the espresso machine, a man approached me to place an order for many coffees, those that were different and were made in two machines."I'm sorry to bother," he said, and I turned to shrug it off."Don't worry, we're here to serve," I replied politely.Almost half an hour later, I had all their drinks ready."You've never been here before," he said."I've only recently started working at this café," I admitted."Well, I'm sure you've already been told, but you have a very pretty, very unique beauty, have you ever modeled?"I shook my head at what seemed to me to be a clear attempt at flirtation."No, I've never modeled and it's not something I plan to do.”"You should, you have a very nice bone structure, as well as features and features that fa
