-POV KAREN MILLER
Anthony looks at me slyly, believing in what the woman “revealed” Diana and Raul were present and remained silent just listening to the old woman’s nonsense.
“You don’t know me” I retort exasperatedly.
“Do I need to reveal your hurts and thoughts?” she asks, getting up from her chair, looking macabre and determined that her relationships are being questioned by me.
This woman is a fake, I imagined she couldn't walk.
“It’s not necessary, save yourself the effort, to be too old for these things,” I say skittishly.
Before Anthony exclaims his anger at my behavior, leave with Luz in his arms towards the garden. What nonsense!” My daughter cannot have a future like that, stronger than destiny is God who gave us free will.
The garden reminds me of Jhenny, I look exactly at the place where her body fell lifeless
-POV KAREN MILLER “Karen!”I looked at Anthony as disoriented, at least I knew what topic we were talking about, due to tiredness, and lack of sleep at night, I was a little dizzy, breastfeeding Luz.“Are you listening to me?” He asks, approaching the bed. I remain silent, just looking at him.“After Luz sleeps, I will go to Aunt Diana to discuss the wedding.”I imagine this is the subject that bothered me. I hoped he would broach the subject of Italy to make me a true Lady to the Clan. But he didn't say anything about it.“That’s not what we talked about. But this issue needs to be resolved soon.”“As you wish, Anthony!” I say automatically, facing Luz.“What is it now, Karen?” Say it at once, don't have that watery expression.“It’s nothing, Anthony.”He is not convinced by my
-POV KAREN MILLER “As expected, Karen!” Anthony's voice rang in my ears, Mom turned to him, fearing that maybe it wasn't a test and he would kill her.“Please don’t do anything to my mother!” He wasn’t in a position to ask for anything, he told him not to ask for mercy.“I won’t, Karen. She only played the role of a mother, supporting her desperate daughter.”Swallowing hard as she approached me, Mom moved away, taking Luz from my lap. Anthony looked deep into my eyes, the amazing thing was that there wasn't that killer look.“Do you want to go, Karen?”I nodded yes.“Answer with words.”“Yes, I want to go” I replied. His eyes looked away from mine, he closed them, I was hurting him.“Don’t you love me, Karen?” his tone revealed his pain.“Of course, I love you,
- POV KAREN MILLERAFTER THREE WEEKS, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO LEAVE Anthony's house in Boston. To my not-so-surprise, upon stepping off the train, two women escorted me to this house. Anthony planned everything for our safety.The first few days were difficult without Anthony, my mother, and the presence of the Bennet family. Even more so because I couldn't count on him, I was assigned to stay in the huge double bedroom, trying to bring what I needed to the door. At first, I thought that Anthony would keep me trapped, and dependent on his employees, but today I was finally able to explore the house.It consists of ten rooms, I am enchanted by the simplicity, and the different beauty of the Bennet property which is luxurious, and exudes money and power. As for this place, it smells of love and humility in the simple suit.Luz accompanied me in my daily crying. Part of my heart wished Anthony had intervened in my coming here, the other sighed with relief at having the opportunity to give
- POV KAREN MILLERI picked up Luz which was lit by eating my hands. I passed by the woman, I felt weak.“I’ll bring you some medicine.”I nodded my head in acceptance. I went to the room to get dressed, I only managed to put on a dress without any underwear. Not only that, but I lay down in bed with Luz, removing my breast to feed, and once again my stomach turned feeling the smell of milk. Swallowing the urge, turning my head to the side covering my nose."Please!" Tell me your name!” The woman had just entered the room with a pill and a glass of water.“Valesca!” he whispered, giving me the long, I straightened up, taking Luz from my arm, threw it down my throat, then took the water to swallow, but that wasn't what happened, I vomited without being able to swallow the pill. “That’s not normal, ma’am!”I got out of bed, irritated. I close my
- POV ANTHONY BENNETI hang Calista's head. I face the soldiers in front of me, next to me having Raul, Derick, Arley, and Kaio to help coordinate them.I look at the soldiers' satisfied faces at seeing her dead. Many families, soldiers, and women died for their revelations, whether they were true about the situation didn't matter anymore.“Their followers want war (Confrontation), and we will go to them and kill them. They are with me?"There was a chorus of times in response, one raised his hand possibly to ask, I sighed irritably, but allowed him to speak.“Sir, will you change the laws?” I recently found out that my wife is pregnant with a girl.He was new, and he trembled at his revelation.“If you fight with me, both your daughter and your wife will survive!” But, trade-off producing sons for the Clan when we return.He gave a relieved smile and kissed
- POV KAREN MILLER“No, ma’am.”“Then how do you know I can’t come back?”“I just know, ma'am, don't make me say what I can't say,” she says. I sigh exhausted, hitched by a growing pain in my chest. “Don't keep feeding your mind with negative thoughts, that's not good, you're at a delicate moment, and you're still in shock because you're expecting a baby. Mr Bennet is experienced, if there is a conflict he will resolve it, he is one of the best I have ever met.”“How long have you been a member of the Clan?” I ask to divert my thoughts to Anthony.“I'm not part of the Clan. I’m part of Lorenzo King’s corporation.” Recently the Clan aligned ties with my boss, who is temporarily taking care of the family in BlueWater.I don't know any information.“Mister Bennet entrusted me and Solange to take ca
- POV KAIOSoft, angry Derick. I look at him the same way.“Derick, call her. Karen has him like a brother, he’s the best one to tell her what happened.”Arley says in a calm tone, standing between the two of us. Derick, still staring at me, took out his cell phone and walked away from us....I wake up hearing a knock on the door. I got up quickly and headed towards her, I was exhausted, and after getting drunk I ended up falling asleep. I see it's Agatha."my brother…"She speaks with her eyes brimming with tears, I pull her into my arms, to give her strength, because it's not easy.**MINUTES BEFORE DECLAN WAS DECLARED DEAD**I hear voices but I can't understand, darkness has taken over me. I try to draw Karen but I can't model her face in my mind, an overwhelming despair takes over me, I don't want to leave her, nor my daughte
- KAREN MILLER POVI close myself to another world to escape the spreading pain that consumes me every minute. I focus my eyes on the Light breastfeeding in my breast that was once full of milk.Less than an hour ago I was discharged, luckily, I didn't lose the baby, I couldn't bear another loss. I can't accept that Anthony died, I immediately wanted to go back to New York.“Madam, it’s Derick calling,” says Valesca.“I don’t want to talk to anyone, except have more details via phone call.”I know I won't be able to hold back the tears that want to escape along with a desperate scream from my throat for a long.It was a damn mistake to leave Anthony's side, I know little about why there was a confrontation, as the Clan was duly aligning itself with the new council. Maybe I would have avoided this if I had been by his side.Unfortunately, this won't bring Antho
