"Your family from Vegas and... you know, Mika "I encouraged in a low voice, already noticing the brightness of the sun shining through the sliding door at the end of the living room, where the green lawn was already shining to receive us.”"I thought you were talking," said Suzane in a tone of reflection."No, we haven't spoken since the Thanksgiving party.”"How strange... Lawrence says she's always lovingly talking to someone in the corners.”I avoided performing a mouth thing, because I knew Suzane was keeping an eye on my reaction. I loved Suzane, but she was so curious and nosy, that sometimes she gave me a slight anger. But I was all that in an even higher percentage. So I couldn't complain. I smiled, my turn. It didn't bother me that Mikaela could be going out with other people. I doubted that she would be able to maintain that facade of relationship with Colton without having an escape valve for later, but still, I was slightly upset that she did not consider that I could be h

“Oh, damn it. You could have told me you were coming. I wouldn't have cleaned my legs in time, so you could see exactly what we were doing "I gave a cruel smile, but Colton made an expression of shock so alarming that I thought he would go out yelling at everyone at the party that Mikaela and I would have had sex in the bathroom. "I'm kidding, Colton. What kind of bitch do you think I am?”"I don't think you're a bitch, you're single," he said in a very emphatic tone. I made an ugly face. "You have the right to be with whoever you want. I'm just saying that you should be a little more careful when messing with Mika's feelings. She doesn't know how to deal very well with your advances... He's smiling like a fool and running away from me, even when everyone should think we've been together for years.”I noticed his tone, but something told me that his annoyance was not just because Mikaela was running away. It was for the reasons why she ran away. Because he was also bothered by the ide

It was ridiculous to hear what she was saying, the types of plagues she was playing against her daughters. Suzane was the most dedicated, most loving, strongest person I had ever known in my entire life. She always dedicated herself to doing the best for everyone, even when she never received anything in return. She had even forged a fake marriage to try to convince her family that she had not failed in her personal life, when I always said that she never needed to prove anything, although it helped make her and Hunter get together. She had given that party, had them picked up, decorated the whole house to receive them, and even so, it was not enough.I didn't know if I felt angry with Mikaela or just pity. I've never had to deal with a less than loving mother. Not even my father "who proved to be a lunatic terrorist" was as cruel and terrible with the people of his blood as that woman. She seemed to have a sadistic pleasure in psychologically torturing her daughters. It was unaccepta

I wanted to wake up just to laugh. That woman really had to be a shrew if she was so blind that she didn't see that Mikaela was the most beautiful in the whole family. The girl literally had the face of an angel, but the mother could only demoralize her in front of the others. I just prayed that most of the guests had left, or that at least they were not there in the room in which they met, because it would be too shameful for Mikaela to deal with the mocking giggles of her relatives. I honestly don't know how Suzane didn't send that woman to hell. She deserved to be cursed, but no one did that."Mrs. Stewart," Colton began in a polite tone. I figured he might be smiling. " Mika is right. We don't need to rush anything, when we're already in love enough. Let's get married when the time comes. And we realized that today was not the best time for something like that. Even if Penelope didn't feel bad, we've all been stressed lately, and this wouldn't be the best scenario for the beginnin

I laughed, wanting to show how pathetic that whole situation was. When I suggested that Colton become the boyfriend Mikaela always lied he had, I just wish he could be a pretty face to convince Mikaela's family that she was not a lesbian. But apparently, like most of my plans, that had also gone wrong. But I also didn't notice that, when I laughed, that tenuous relationship between the coldness and the distance I was trying to keep from Penelope would become even more tense. She watched me with a slight narrowing of her eyes and I made my smile." Mika's family already suspects his... sexual interests," said Colton, striving to find delicious words. Mikaela watched him with slight contempt. He ignored it. "So they want us to get married as a tactic to drive you both away. They have already understood that I am just a spare part in this game. They can't convince themselves that Mikaela feels comfortable with me or that the relationship at a distance is the reason why we are so... indif

I never thought that discussing relationships were so terrible like that. I felt terrible. But, along with all the other ways I already felt terrible, one more dose of disappointment was the minimum. It didn't matter if I disappointed them with my unwillingness to make life go back to what it was. I would never come back. The biggest disappointment was that I didn't know what to do with myself anymore."I never got cold, Colton. I've always been "I spoke in a dark tone, forcing my lips to jerk off in an unfriendly smile. "The difference is that before I disguised it very well, but now I don't need it anymore. I don't need anyone else.”I would be lying if I said it had been easy to leave Mikaela and Colton judging me that way. I knew it wouldn't take long for Colton to follow me out. Because, despite anything he could have with Mikaela, he still highly valued what he had acquired with me.That's why I wasn't surprised to take a walk around Suzane's block and hide to spy, seeing a hurr

"People know that the terrorist's father is still alive, don't they? "I questioned with an eyebrow arch. The man nodded with indulgence. "So, shouldn't people know that there is another person more interested in continuing the family business, rather than a person totally oblivious to everything that was happening?”"Is it totally foreign? "He asked with a smile full of himself. I wanted to punch him. "I'm just saying... It is very strange that while all the media reported that one of the members of the Red Brotherhood was trying to destroy the organization, the terrorist's family remained neutral. Why didn't anyone make any statements? Why has no one ever said in which prison Jon Maxwell's true location would be?”I shrugged, trying to give a carefree image, but I wondered if that's not really what everyone expected me to do. That I told the whole world to hear that my mother and I had no idea where my father was. Because the police were careful not to announce to the press where they

And the Red Brotherhood grew by taking advantage of that weakness. They proved to be an easy and quick source of income for those who were cold-blooded. They gave the chance to those who would like to leave the streets to have food and shelter. But the price they charged was too high. The hatred they incited was too heavy. And my father was the one who gave rise to all this.That's why I didn't regret wishing for his years behind bars. He deserved, more than anyone, to pay for all that. And the worst part was knowing that even those who only allied themselves with that dark side of the force, would still have to pay with convictions for the crimes against other people's lives. Even if they hadn't done it for pleasure. They would still have to account to the government. And I knew they wouldn't be ruthless. The more time passed to make sure that the Brotherhood would never rise again, the more people's hatred increased.There were rare times when I forgot all that and looked up to appr

"And my visit is just to talk to you, Penelope," said Caleb. I arched an eyebrow. If he had asked the reasons, he would have noticed how trembling my voice sounded. "I heard, behind my daughters, that you've been having problems with the media in general. I'm issuing a restraining order so that none of them approach you. By the end of today, they will be banned, or they will have to bear a very attractive fine if they dare to break the law.”I avoided laughing. Lately I found the efforts of people in trying to bring me some happiness very funny. I never imagined that someday Caleb Johnson would be visiting me to give good news. That's why I limited myself to opening a smile of thanks. So I went into the clinic and sat in the waiting chairs. The clinic's television was off, but the vet helpers who supported my mother seemed to be having trouble dealing with a dog that barked stridently in the back. The noise was so much that she had to leave Caleb and me alone, while running to meet he

"I imagine," Caleb said with a cold giggle. He didn't fool me. I knew the reason he was there should be different. Even if he didn't know when I would arrive, maybe he considered my mother to call me after receiving that blessed box. And it was even more evident that he was not there for good news when he moved on the bench, sitting on his side to observe me completely. “We want you to help us with something important, Penelope. We want you to collaborate with us.”"Who wants it? "I deleted it, even though it's not a mystery at all."The police," Caleb said in a rhythmic voice. There was no longer that tone that forced the friendly and the familiar, he just took the trouble to be there to make that proposal. It was difficult to contain the laughter by the sudden notion that my intuition had not yet failed. "We are investigating the Red Brotherhood, but we are turning in circles. Those people are dangerous and trained. They disappear like a cloud of smoke from one hour to the next. We
