Cruel Heart 72
My grandmother's wake continued into the night, but as soon as the sun rose, her body was taken to the garden reserved once for the burial of my mother's body, and now, hers. We walked behind the coffin, all in black and with white lilies — saplings, to be exact; we would plant them around the grave, like we did with my mother.It was Christmas, but it didn't feel like it, it didn't have the essence of a Christmas day... Not until now.All the grandchildren gathered behind the sons, who were two tall men. My uncles lived far away, but they managed to arrive in time for the celebration, which was good for deciding where the body would be. By not arguing with Gina's proposal, we managed to have a beautiful celebration in a short time.We then prayed from the priest, who gave the final blessing so that the farewell came to an end. The coffin slowly descended, as we bent down and with the places already reserved, we planted the lilies.I finished my part right after Celina, who, like

I tensely watched Rafaelle's body being taken away by soldiers, while from her mouth, curses against me made me more certain that her presence in the organization would be a brutal challenge to solve. I sighed and stood up, turning to everyone still present; at the same moment, I returned the gun to my hip.— Yeah... — I wipe my hands on the sides of my pants. —, we've already had a free sample that I'm not going to accept any of you's rebellion idly, so I hope we understand here. I will now be your Capo, and whether you like it or not, I came here to work together, but if you don't want to, I won't be the one to let you do your bidding.Slowly one of the soldiers in the corner approaches to come into my view. He looks at me and raises his hand to ask me to speak. I grant it with a nod.— How long do you plan to stay in the position? — The others look at him, as if asking the same question.— Believe me, until this war takes a turn where we are no longer in danger. That's why it's

KAANADAN SALVATORECeleste's look at me is fatal. Destroyer. If I could say it was as if The Beast was staring at me at that very moment.I heard Veronica's heels hum backwards and at the same moment Celeste's hands let go of me, turning to the blonde woman who had been accompanying her father. I grabbed her by the wrist, but Celeste got rid of me with the same skill as pulling out a dagger from her belt, hidden by her clothes.Which I sincerely hoped he wouldn't do now.— So, are you not going to answer me or do you really want me to find out telepathically? — Celeste shouts and her gaze is deadly towards Veronica, then me.— I came to accompany my father, Celeste. — Veronica replied with a firm voice, looking up at Celeste, which clearly awakens the fierce side of my docile wife.I turn around and, between both of them, I realize that I'm in trouble in several ways, but I'm not going to solve any of them if I don't decide which one to solve first. And at this moment, I prefer t

I got a private jet from my father as soon as I called Júlio, whether I wanted to or not, I already had the right to make certain requests to the soldiers, as I was one of Santiago's heirs, and I saw this opening as a quick way to rush back to Washington.Yes, I already knew that chaos was brewing there.From the moment I woke up to Vitali's call, I couldn't sleep again. Daniel informed me during a period of the morning, explaining to me the critical situation in which Gabriel and the entire organization found themselves. I clearly realized that staying here would only make me more distressed, so I decided to return to Washington today.The organization's car stopped in the middle of the runway and my cell phone rang in my bag. I retreated and watched the black SUV drive away, at the same time I pulled out my cell phone and saw the image of Kaanadan on the screen — it surprised me, I must admit.—Kaanadan? — Surprised, I answered the call.— How did you kill Lucca without telling

I organized some things for Gabriel while I had my breakfast, the house was not empty this time and the sound of the TV on announced more than anything Mariano's presence in the largest part of the hotel room, where he can easily be and is considered the room. I brought the fork to my mouth, pulling out a fresh piece of watermelon. I was still a little drowsy, as I could barely sleep that night for some unidentified reason, but it basically left me feeling worried and insomnia. As soon as I got up, Mariano was already here so I just started my work...— "The accident on the road outside Bethesda happened last night, information claimed to have links with settlements of scores between local mafias; hand grenade and large weapons were located, in addition to ten dead bodies, still unidentified ..."A voice sounded on the morning news, catching my eye and making me look at the big screen where Mariano was staring intently.— "... The police are trying to discover t

Everyone agrees, excited about the decision. The large group speaks at the same time, commenting and finally praising Gabriel. It seems like a medieval film about subjects who are always sucking up to their king, but I intervene with a light and unchanged voice.— Well, how do you plan to achieve all his tactics? — I ask Gabriel. — Because the command is ours and so is the central, we have no information about him. Furthermore, we have more soldiers but we don't count the external bases and outside our continent which Kaanadan also dominates. What if they come and total a larger number? — Then everyone stays silent and looks at Gabriel.Gabe looks at me. — We're going to know everything, Heaven. And if we don't find out, we're going to attack in the same way, using our intelligence... we have that. We know how to fight in the dark, we know how to be smart. Now we need to bring weapons from allied organizations, soldiers and everything for a good attack. You know very well

KAANADAN SALVATOREThe soldiers' cemetery was in a large section at the bottom of the Bethesda mansion grounds, far from the house, but in the midst of a forest of tall trees that are now as green as the evergreen grass.A full funeral is almost rare when it comes to soldiers, but today was different, in every corner you could find a group, all in black, while the priest prayed for Scott's soul, who today would leave for a world we didn't want to be in, but we would go by our actions, by our attitudes obligatory by the world to which we came.The day had barely begun, but at Ada's own request, there was no lengthy wake. The body remained for only thirty minutes after arriving for a farewell, then the procession with the body to the cemetery was done and now everyone asked for mercy for the soul that was gone from a body that fought so hard.Crying flooded amid the prayers, the bowed heads announced much more than a simple act, but somehow it was a tha
Cruel Heart 79
Two days passed.The organizations have already intimidated each other, yesterday one of Gabriel's cars exploded seconds after he left, in return Gabriel sent a hail of bullets into the Bethesda mansion that morning.Three soldiers died and it appears that Kaanadan was slightly injured. Everything indicates that the rain's performance was his fourth.While both threaten each other, the meetings are in full swing, the arrival of weapons is constant, and every minute a transport arrives from various allied points. Soldiers train even before the sun rises and only finish at sunset, taking rest breaks for a few minutes during the day. The hotel can now be considered a home for new men in the mafia and the Casino the central base of the organization led by Gabriel. All these movements are shocking, but I can't say anything. Nothing but... "One more count done."In the Casino room, I look at the map drawn with lines made by Gabriel as he explained his attacks to the so
