"My father believes that the reasons are a little greater than just dragging you to Turkey," informed Suzane, lightly caressing my hand. "There was an escape attempt in prison in which your father is in prison, Penny. But they didn't disclose this to the press. They don't want to say the names of the fugitives, but my father assured that Jon is still incarcerated. The problem is that many dangerous people tried to escape, some were caught, others were not. Most of these fugitives were only there because they showed terrorist tendencies, so that's what we can say of members of the Brotherhood who were caught and never confessed. My father believes that they just wanted to warn you about the fact that the Brotherhood is still standing for you to help your father.”"I would never do that," I murmured."We know," Suzane said quickly, fearing that I could change my reaction and vent my anger on her over those suspicions. "We know that you are more than just the daughter of a terrorist, Pen

"Oh, I'm a little traumatized with foreigners," I commented in a low giggle, so I looked through the half-open door, wanting to see if any curious leftovers were passing by. So I turned to my two quasi-loves. "I need to tell something I didn't tell Suzy's father or anyone before. The day you had that engagement party, there was a photographer in the square. He took pictures of me, said some strange things that implied that he was part of the Brotherhood. But the fact that he was there made me apprehensive, you know? He was there and you were right behind the block, so I stopped to think that maybe the purpose of the Brotherhood is even to take me away, but that they won't stop just with an interruption from the police.”"Are you afraid they might hurt us? “Asked Mikaela. “Penny, I am the daughter of one of the most respected judges in the country. If someone touches a hair of mine, they will be hunted for the rest of their lives. My father doesn't have a true sense of justice when the

"A few days ago, I ended up meeting a person who has a delicate history with my brother. His name is Dante Laurentino. I don't know if you would know how to recognize him. "I informed, but Colton remained impassive. "Anyway, he told me that Dean Rivers was one of the men in his group. He said that Dean was hired to kill Suzane, but that he did not have the courage, and set out to marry her to always be around and know when she would contact the Brotherhood, or vice versa. However, Dean was caught by my brother and disappeared. He never came back. No one knows where he is, and Suzane believes that he may have lost his tongue by not confessing that he knew where his bosses were. He was subjugated by the Brotherhood, and can be anywhere. As long as he has access to a computer, nothing would stop him from tracking our lives and using it to bring the Brotherhood to us, and then the police could arrest them.”"It's a brilliant plan, but only one thing doesn't make any sense," Mikaela reflec

It was at that moment that I had a dimension of how things should be decaying. Caleb Johnson did not admit weaknesses, even more so on his part. Admitting that he was in a panic about what would happen around the world was the same as entering a hospital and receiving the sad news that the doctor on duty was not fit for work. The true feeling was that we were on a ship that was slowly sinking, and that the Brotherhood was our iceberg. I was shocked. But I had to stand firm, because I still believed that Caleb did not deserve to see my most vulnerable side. He had made me bait to capture the Brotherhood, even so, he had failed. It wasn't just my fault."You say that Hunter didn't deserve to know the truth because he was just an ordinary citizen, but I'm also "I spoke in a defensive tone, raising one of my eyebrows. I noticed a trembling muscle in Caleb's chin, as if he was trying very hard to avoid saying what he really thought. "I'm also just a civilian, even so, you, the police, the

Suzane hung up on me, but I was already taking myself and leaving anyway. If I still had to pick up Mikaela to only then be free to stay with Colton, at least I would do that as soon as possible. I didn't used to stay late at the company, and I didn't know how Suzane handled the situation so well, because the place looked macabre with the sound of the elevator going down and the rooms empty. I was tense, feeling that at any moment something would come up to attack me. But I arrived safely in the lobby, waved and wished good night to Suzane's security guards, and received some tired answers as I got into the car and left in search of Mikaela.The school where she taught was in one of the heavy bars of Boston. My car, although it was nothing like Suzane's Porsche or Ferrari, was flashy enough for me to close the windows and drive in a hurry. Mikaela wasn't outside, as I thought she would be. So I honked a few times, but she didn't leave school. I sighed. All I needed was to have to go i

The poor girl should be dying of pain. I had gone through so many painful situations that the body seemed to have gotten used to it. But she was bleeding somewhere that should be lethal. A human body has no more than a few liters of blood in the body. She couldn't stand long in that state of fainting and regaining consciousness. My hope is that someone else would come up to help us, because my instinct said that something very wrong was happening to those men. And this was even more evident when I felt the reverberations on the door on my side of the car. It was the most damaged side, in which the door and the ceiling kneaded so much that it was impossible to see its interior.It was lucky that my seat was practically loose against the panel, or I would have broken the column exactly at the time of the impact, due to the compression on the ceiling that lowered it until the entire metal structure became a ball. The person who moved on my side of the car, tried to see, and uttered a bad

"Mika, listen to me" I tried to move my arms to get to her, but I failed. Mikaela moved to me on her own. Her face was so close that I could smell the blood in her hair. "These men won't just kidnap you. I need you to try to escape. Fight to the end. Don't let them take you without resistance. They will never let you survive. Especially for being a Johnson. Mika, listen to me, your father has no power against the Brotherhood. He couldn't even prevent this from happening, he won't be able to find you. Please run away and don't look back. They have already had countless possibilities of killing me and never did. I have to stay alive. They need some Maxwell in power. They just want to destroy me and now they know they can do it by using you. Don't stay to help me under any circumstances. I'm asking with my heart. Run away. At the first opportunity you have. They're going to take a long time to get me out of the car, so run away as soon as possible. Do you think you can go through the win

I didn't even notice that the unknown man was again bending down next to me, even when a strong light was thrown against my face and his head appeared. Because I was looking at Mikaela's legs in the other window, seeing when she suddenly softened and how the men pulled her up in order to carry her, still making debauched and unflatterous comments for a woman to have to listen. That scared me so much that everything else became very small and unimportant. I knew how the basics of the Brotherhood worked. Those men had no scruples. They could easily kill, steal, rape, and would not be afraid to settle accounts with other people later. That's why it took me a while to understand that the man still had one more message to give me, and when he spoke, it took me even longer to decipher the lines."A man without fear is capable of anything, miss. That's why we want to make sure that fear won't exist for someone like you. This is a message from Aslan, our new leader: when you have to choose, c
