-Very good.

—Your girlfriend wanted us to hurt her—Domenico runs his tongue over her teeth—. She was very excited to know what we were going to do to her and we confirmed it to her, we were impressed that she was not scared. Fabian continues to hurt Salvatore and that not only works against her, but also against us who are now part of the family.

I nod remembering my questions to her.

"Yes, I know, that's why we have to check every move the bastard makes because he can screw us." I caress the blue ribbon inside my pants. She will be away enjoying life for a while and Fabian shows that he is a dog that only follows the bone he wants to sink his fucking teeth into and we know that he will do whatever it takes to hand her over to Rinaldi, Fabian is the best piece of the enemy and Emily ours.

"If that's the case, you can start to stop so much hatred towards the world," Ginevra mutters, lying on the couch with her head hanging. Talk to her with the truth, tell her all the shit you carry with you for being the Don of the mafia and we can be saved because she... She has things in common with us, not only is she pretty, when she is completely destroyed or when she has everything What you want can be a double-edged sword and tell me, is it right for you?

—Yes, yes he does.

—Then forget about prey, you like him, he's interested in you even though he doesn't show it, so he starts making the best moves from within because while he's under the influence of his ex, they can hurt him more and he'll end up falling at Alessio's feet.

That term oflikingis the one that I wouldn't know whether to consider right now, knowing that she is a bitch who moves her cards and lives her life as she pleases continues to hit me deep, reminding me that it makes me let my guard down. If it were another person I would have simply denied her everything, I locked her up and treated her like my prisoner, however, it is something that I have not achieved, something that I cannot do with her.

"I'll take care of what I have to do here myself," I tell them. On Wednesday I have something planned, I will go out with the escort, I have already located the bar of those in charge of causing chaos in the area. Not only are they killing people trying to go about their normal lives, they are also selling keta and heroin from another supplier.

—Do you already know who he is?

—It's not from Alessio, I know the type of drugs he sells and even the quality they have. Guillermo and Nadia managed to buy some last week, it is of low quality, therefore, they give it cheaper and it is screwing up my numbers right now.

Gin falls off the couch, fixes her hair, and sits back down on the floor to watch us.

—If the job will be to collect the profits, I can help make that disappear—he proposes—. I don't need to ask because I know they sell it on the less favorable streets, I can help.

—I'll take care of it on Wednesday, depending on the result I'll turn to you if the idea works for me.

-OK.

My brothers, after knowing the next movements, retreat until I reach Leone, taking his shoulder.

-What is happening to you? You were the least interested in Emily coming to this house, Dom doesn't care, he supported the cause.

He takes a few steps back to face me.

—Emily would bring more conflicts, that's what I told you, but I didn't say that she was a bad person who shouldn't be around us. You wanted more problems, I'm fine with that, and today there were only things that made it clear to me that I could take advantage.

—What kind of benefit? I don't share Leon women.

An arrogant smile appears on his lips.

—You have a student who lost her parents and continues with her life, she is happy, she loves to smile and I think we don't do any of that because we believe that our masculinity will go away, right Salvatore? —I get flinched, I analyze it—. We believe that due to past problems we can no longer be more than murderers and it is not true, because before all that tragedy that enveloped each of us, we were people who felt, who smiled, lived together and acted like a true family - he points out - . This Salvatore, this is just a business, the Marino business and don't be surprised one of these days if I disappear or no longer want to work for you. This is not my family, it is my work and as many would say, this house is just my office, it is not my home.

The words hit even if I try to stop them because I realize that each one of us allowed ourselves to be broken, we allowed ourselves to forget what we were before and the problem began since my rise to power within the business.

I wasn't ready.

I had no options.

I didn't want this in the first place because I didn't know how to protect my siblings without neglecting the world we surround ourselves with.

—I will take care of Emily, my outside affairs, my life or whatever is on my mind are mine alone.

He turns on his feet to approach the door, I don't stop him, when I'm left alone I take my hand out of my pocket, detailing the ribbon that wraps around my hand. I bring it up to my nose to inhale even the smell of it, I look at it again feeling that right now everyone's words are beating me.

Their words are punishing and I deserve it for doing everything I could and not how they all wanted me to do things.

I go to the chair where Gin was lying, I take a seat and try to calm down because weakness is something I cannot allow myself, feeling an accumulation of emotions is something I cannot let happen because I lose focus on everything I have to do. .
