—Yes, my rite of trust dictates that we erase everything we did or said before so we can trust each other and be colleagues —my cheeks turn red without being able to control it. I don't like enemies, I like challenges and that night Salvatore... We were both having a bad night, you were a challenge that helped me clear my mind, that helped me... Feel desired, great, praised and beautiful .

—You have trust issues.

"Yes because he took it from me." I move his hand away, bringing it to his chest. And I am giving you the little that remains of it.

-Because?

—Because I want it that way, because I want to believe that I can trust the Salvatore of four months ago who also wanted a challenge so as not to remind himself that he was broken—I move away a little—. We were broken and wanted to forget that we were. Now we are... Confused and not knowing who we are, we just follow the path without knowing where we are going and I for one don't want that.

A subtle smile appears on his lips and he squeezes my ribbon in his hand and then puts it in his pants pocket.

—This is Emily Fiore's confidence.

I stepped aside so I could leave, things had been talked about and I finally felt comfortable to discuss my options further. I didn't want to doubt myself again, I didn't want a single opinion to affect me, and I wanted to get back to my life, which had always been a challenge that I enjoyed experiencing.

—And this is my life, Salvatore Marino's life.

I cross the threshold, turn to look at him before closing the door.

—Nice to know your life Salvatore.

And I close it, leaving him in his complete solitude.

CHAPTER 6

EMILY FIORE'S CHALLENGES

???????????????

Salvatore

I keep my hand on my pocket where the ribbon she gave me is tangled, I guide her to the dining room where David is, who pays attention to everything they tell him about the house and the rules he must learn to be able to come here frequently. . I was alone since all of them left, I thought and evaluated the situation. I couldn't make all of this become a cage for her, it should just be a secret lair that was going to keep her safe for the indicated time, if she ever wanted to come back I wasn't going to forbid it, I was going to wait.

What I have never liked in life is that those I care about end up being my slaves, I do not choose for them, although my brothers work for me it does not indicate that I will aim at their heads so that they do what I order them.

They have the ability to refuse to work, they have the ability to leave the family and make their life somewhere else and I won't bother them. It was a condition that I set for myself the day after my parents had died and it is something that I will respect for her.

If you want to leave, do so.

If you want to stay, do so.

And if she wants to come back or not come back when I release her, let her do it.

"They don't stop talking about you in the newspaper," David says with a lot of concern in his voice. And as I was telling Emily, two days ago some guys came to the school and were looking for her. One of them was Alessio, Alessio's cousin.

I clench my jaw, reach for my chair at the head of the table, and curl my fingers against the wooden backrest. She remains next to her friend, however, she catches his gaze when the other subject releases said information.

-Can I ask a question? —Emily asks and I shake my head in a hint of agreement—. Have you seen Alessio attacking? That is to say, they always talk about him attacking them, hating them, and I don't want to save or cover him up, but my question is whether they have directly seen him attacking.

"It doesn't," I reply. He always sends others to do his dirty work for him and it is not known if he leaves his house in Apulia or roams around the areas.

"And we have people in that territory," adds Dom. There are people who work for us in Apulia and they have never told us that they found Alessio with his whores or dealing with his people. The Rinaldi mansion has a huge stone fence that would take you a day to climb, there is no way to intervene with spies.

Leone unbuttons his jacket and I notice the drawing that he takes out of his pocket to put in the pocket of his jacket that he hangs over his right forearm.

—It is a large extension, what is the reason for the question?

Emily looks at my sister, I remember the time she made us put a somewhat crazy idea in our heads. I remember the fight, the tests and countless things until my father told her to shut up and made us take her away from the boyfriend she had at the time. My brothers also look at each other, I intervene before Emily lets out another word.
