-Because? He was close, he must have seen Trixi, and what about her escort?

"One part was with me, the other was surrounding the park, but Leone was just buying him some cotton candy, Salvatore," he gets exasperated. He didn't realize it, it was at the time when we were all doing different things and he couldn't be heard because he had a silencer or at the first impact he would have been detected by the other half of the escort and Leone...

—Shut up now, they are trying to cure her!!

Leone tells us all to shut up, Adan's assistant moves with his suitcase taking out a bunch of supplies, they try to do something. I just cling to Salvatore, I feel like my heart is breaking, the blood keeps coming out and soaking the carpet, his small body moves less and less.

She was the daughter of Leone, whose daughter and wife had already been taken from him once by his enemies. This time, history repeats itself and even more so when the machine's beeps become extensive. The image of those stripes on the doctor's screen no longer go in curves or from top to bottom, it is a straight line.

—No, not again, please!!

Leone pushes Adan to hold on to the little girl who has lost her life, she is filled with his blood as she cries, I let Salvatore let go of me to go with him. The brothers gather around Leon, David comes to my side and hugs me, letting me cry.

She was my girl, she was so small, so smiling, so charismatic.

A girl who had lost everything since she was little, her parents first, then her grandparents who made her have the best first years of her life and who also left, they took them away from her. She already had a family, it was us and I know that now I will have to throw away all that school material, I will no longer see her in the mornings to do math exercises, I will no longer see her running around the yard after Cookie, I will no longer see her being happy with his father who was so eager to fulfill his dream of having a family; to start it, and they just snatch it away.

"Please," he sobs, "come back, come back."

-Lion...

-Be quiet!! —He screams in the midst of the breakdown he is suffering—. Please, daddy has a lot of cotton candy for you, please come back.

Twice.

Two daughters.

Two people he loved even though on the outside he looked like a being who did not have the capacity to love.

—Come on, let's play Trix princesses, please come on.

I get rid of David's arms that were trying to keep me upright, I leave the living room and go around the house looking for the head of the escort. As expected, I find him training with Tamara in the patio. When he sees me arrive, he stops his blows and approaches me with his face covered in tears.

-They dont know anything?

—No miss, I have sent my men to investigate, I am very sorry, it was partly our fault.

"They weren't always going to be watching to see if the flies were passing by the little girl," I refute. I want you to let the others investigate, you two go out right now to look for someone I have in mind entering our area.

—Who, miss?

Tamara rubs her hand over her forehead, listening while she tries to calm her rapid breathing.

“Helena,” I say, annoyed. Fabian's sister, if she entered my territory, come to me to tell me if it's true, I want you to locate her, I want you to keep her in your sights until I confront her.

—Okay, Miss Fiore.

I turn around on my feet and they take their things to do what I asked them, my ideas right now in my head are too bloody, covered in fury and rage that I reserve if my suspicions are true. As I enter the house I see that Leone leaves the living room to go in another direction, I follow him trying to be silent, he arrives at a room with its respective bar, a large table for several people and I perceive the painting of the brothers' parents Marine.

He leans his arms against the bar, cries and when I approach he grabs a glass and any other drink. Without saying anything I push it to him, he looks at me and reluctantly takes the drink.

—I'm sorry, Leon.

—Fuck all that, no one knows what it feels like!! —He turns on his feet to smash the glass against the wall—. They did the same thing, they took her away from me, twice now and I... Damn Emily, I will never be happy, I must kill myself to be happy in hell because I will never be able to have a family or a wife.

He takes a seat on one of the many chairs, I pour another drink and sit next to him trying to hold back the tears, sitting next to him is very difficult because I am also breaking into pieces, however, I try to help.

"Someday," I murmur, "the opportunity will come if you keep looking, sometimes it's not the time, but..."
