Cruel Heart 31
Celina wasn't wrong, we really were going to Florence, Italy. I do not claim that everything has passed and that the weather is perfect. In fact, in the afternoon we were responsible for packing a small suitcase and I only found Kaanadan at the end of the day, when he was already waiting for me in the car to go to the airport.The mood is the same: Tense.We left in the car and right behind, Marga and Silvério also got out of their car. Jud and Celina joined and Marga approached me, looking at me and already realizing the chaos that is between me and Kaanadan. Fact: we never understood each other and always one has to act on impulse. This time I make no secret of the fact that I was wrong."Did they fight again?" Marga takes off her sunglasses and looks at me.I look at it and remain with mine. "And have we ever gone two days without a speech?" It does not give.We cut the subject and Silvério called the redhead, both of them to get on the plane. I don't know why, but they don't

KAANADAN SALVATOREI go in next to the five. The Cavallaro mansion welcomes us as if it already knew of our arrival. I am allowed alone to go down the corridor that leads to an underground space, and as soon as I enter, I find Ignácio talking quietly with Judith.I swear a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, but it's impossible to believe what I'm seeing. I expected everything, even seeing her tied up and in tears, but instead, I see her laughing at something the older one said to herself.Ignacio turns to me in his chair and smiles.“How long, Death Knight. I didn't know that I would miss you so much. - I hate your ironic tone.Judith gives me a startled look and I snort in disbelief.I should remember that Ignácio is not your typical 100% cruel and scary mobster. He's just an imbecile dressed in black and with power in his hands...I stare at the young redhead in the most nervous way possible. “Judith, go upstairs and go to Mario. Now.She shrinks and gets down from the

- Congratulations to you...The cake arrives at our table with the candles lit. Celina looks at me in surprise, after seeing the waiter arrive and deposit my order in front of her.The day dawned colder, but even that didn't make me give up on bringing her to a restaurant I found on the internet in a search last night. La leggenda dei Fratti was my choice, for its incredible view of the city from the terrace we are on, as well as the Renaissance-style garden that we have access to.I can't deny that I thanked the heavens that Damiano knew where it was...I finish singing the famous birthday song, seeing Celina laugh shyly. Then she blows out the candle."Thanks..." He says and then smiles.- Not over yet.- No?I bend over and open a black bag I carried here, pulling out a box. I put it on the table and pushed it towards Celina, seeing her look at me modestly.— I didn't have to... — I wait for her to open the box and then she suspends a scream, looking at me incredulously.

KAANADAN SALVATOREWe went downstairs as soon as everything was settled in the agreement with Cosa Nostra. In the end, I'm more irritated than when I arrived, but satisfied that I got what I wanted. Marga held Silvério's arm and Judith accompanied her sister. Both at the front as I sweep my gaze around the room filled and bustling with music and people dancing.As soon as we reach the area we were in, below the stairs, I only see Celina, who quickly gets up and looks at us.- It worked out. Jud says and I look at her, still not quite sure my issues with her are over. And now he even teamed up with Celina.For God...Celina smiles and then looks at me. "Looks like talking about her is pretty valid.""Then pray that I didn't threaten you to death." ’ I say and she lifts her head.“Kill me and my father will find yet another reason to attack you. And just between us, you would have a new assassin on your side: My dear sister.She approaches and I look at her seriously."Maybe you

I feel hot from the moment Kaanadan touched me like that. And I blame it on that for agreeing to come with him to a place other than where the party takes place. I blame it on that, because I'm looking forward to something I don't even know what's going to happen. And I blame it on that, that I'm following him even though a part of me is screaming at me to back off.The rustic brown elevator sign announces that we have reached the top floor of the mansion where Cavallaro's party takes place. The doors open and I don't look at Kaanadan, I just follow him through the silent and spacious floor that leads us to three different corridors. We follow the middle one.The lights disappear and only candle lamps are left, which are present every four steps down the corridor. I feel tense. And when Kaanadan opens the double doors pushing them in different directions, we are plunged into a room lit by the red lamp.Peculiar...But nothing as peculiar as what I see. I look around and see the sp

“Celeste.I don't know how long I was off the earth, but I was. Kaanadan's last words still ring in my head and I feel a strange sensation. I shouldn't have accepted that. I crossed the limit.I can't look at him, but I feel his hand on my chin and lift my head until my eyes are in line with his."I can't..." I finally say.His hand lowers and only his eyes hold my head up and my eyes fixed on his."How can you not accept my world, your world, the world we grew up in...— And that I don't want to live! “The short. — Do you know why you don't mind living in this world, Kaanadan?“Because I accepted."No." I shake my head. “You don't mind living here because you're free to do anything. You might as well walk out of here and run a company, you do that. You can even study. You can go around without a thousand people on your tail. You are free to do whatever you want here. Or are you going to say no? Her face hardens, all that light look gone seconds ago. But I don't shut up. “Now

My whole body squirms in front of the toilet. I grip the sides and for the thousandth time let go and I can almost feel my guts coming out with it. I groan from the pain it causes me.I feel my hair being held for you and I know Kaanadan is here. I take a deep breath to stem another wave, but the next thing I know, I'm throwing up again.Horrible...It was pretty much all night like that. I don't remember very well how I ended up in this tragic state, but I did and I'm not well. Yesterday, that bone-chilling water even helped me to balance more, but I really wish the nausea would stop. Or decrease."Are you still in pain?" Kaanadan asks quietly as I turn my face away from the toilet and drop my head onto his shoulder behind me.- Yes... - I say and try to keep another wave trapped."I'll have to order another medicine." You're worse than I thought...- It's no use. - I feel my stomach lurch and I stop for a moment, checking if I can hold it or not. With you. I speak again. "I've

I made the most of the time I had left with Celina. We go out in coffee shops, shopping, even in parks or just at home preparing something to pass the time. However, today, she is leaving for home. Still hugging her, I feel almost ready to cry for her departure - but I hold back. Interest.- Take care. - She says and kiss her forehead, nodding.- You too. Anything. Anything at all. Call me...Celina smiles and nods, adjusting the strap of her backpack over her right shoulder. We walk away and she gives a nod to Scott, who brought us to the airport.“Take care of my sister, Maxwell. - She says and I smile.“She'll be safe if she knows how to be quiet sometimes.I look at him and he is serious, but with his eyes fixed on my sister's.Celina nods and gives me a quick hug before finally turning her back and disappearing into line for the plane. I bring a hand to my chest and sigh. Scott turns and I follow him, heading back to the car parked in front of the airport.Already in the
