—It's the girl...

He stutters with tears, taking away the blood that ran from his face, he is resisting on a tiny piece of thread that has a slight thread that still keeps him alive and dignified. Fear? Yes, that is what can cause the thread to end up breaking completely.

—Good information, David, I congratulate you.

When I see Mauricio I make it clear to him that my plans must be carried out no matter how much he doesn't want to or if they repulse him. I don't understand how Alessio's escort still has respect for that bastard and they only try to avoid me, we leave the cell leaving David screaming inside. None of the inmates say anything, they don't ask for anything because right now I can blow a couple of brains out.

—How is your daughter Helena?

—She misses school, that bitch made the Marinos stipulate in every school in Calabria that they would no longer accept her.

—You are part of the enemy side, what did you expect? —I leave the area carrying my fists in my pants pockets—. At least she can study here, does it still bother you that Emily is happy and you aren't?

I turn on my heel to face the two dogs that are more faithful to me than the fucking escort I stayed with. She nods her head dryly.

"That's what I thought, your husband leaves you to go fight with the woman he once liked, you're alone raising a little girl and you're with your stupid brother," I mock both of them. If I have them here it's because I hope they will help me screw that little person that is Salvatore's weakness and I don't see that they are doing anything about it, are they flies or what?

They both shake their heads in denial.

"Emily loves those children very much," the brother speaks. They are his life, he is capable of protecting them at all costs.

"I can take care of sending people to Calabria, go myself," Helena proposes. You know, to hurt her.

-And how?

—By killing Trixi, I will orchestrate it so my brother stays with you while I prepare to harm her that way. She was always her favorite, if the Marinos have her, I assure you that they will be giving that girl a princess life and Emily will be playing a type of role as a possible mother figure or friend, it is going to hurt her.

I have accepted that Helena has a more twisted, crueler mind because she is capable of knocking down pieces to reach her prey, she attacks from different sides. Fabian is different, he attacks directly because he already knows how to manipulate Emily Fiore's mind, he knows how to press her insecurities and bring her down.

"Go, take care of that brat," I say. I am very sure that if the Marinos leave this place alive it is because they will end up giving up, because they will not want to die so early, but they will not take David. Therefore, when we return to Calabria and Helena takes charge of the attack, she gives us a good blow that will destroy them. I want that, so let's go, I'm not going to waste my time.

The two of them take different paths, I go straight to the mansion, I go into the kitchen where I hear the murmurs of one of the maids. I can't find her, I look for a glass so I can drink some liquor, soon I will wait for the Marino to enter, they will be left free until my men set out to kill their people. I don't find the girl until she shows up and immediately wipes her face.

—I'm sorry sir, do you want me to serve you something to eat?

"No Miranda," I scrutinize her body from head to toe. Were you crying?

-No not at all.

—Well, who were you talking to?

—I was praying—he looks at the ground so as not to earn a good slap. Times are tough now, you know, the battle getting more intense every day.

I approach her sipping my drink, letting the bitter liquid pass down my throat and take in every inch of that tube that also allows me to breathe and not just swallow. I take her chin in my fingers, I heard something, about this little whore they brought to make her the personal prostitute of the house. She also has common household chores, she can't always spend it in bed after fucking as if she were a queen because she isn't.

—Whores shouldn't take the time to pray because they will never touch paradise, you are so devout and you don't realize once you stained your body and I highly doubt that Christ wants that. Don't be stupid, did Leone teach you that while he was fucking you?

-No sir.

"What did that bastard teach you?"

—Nothing, nothing, sir.

"Then don't think that just because you're praying, he's going to come save you because for these types of people who are always in power, we're not going to have family, friends or marriages with prostitutes like you," I slap her. Respect your place, don't think of yourself as a princess who needs to be saved.

"I'm sorry, my lord."

—Go and give Alessio food, he deserves it after so much beating that his father Massimo gives him, I don't want him dead.
