—I won't say that you are good, that you are the magnificent man, stud and God of sex, you are an attractive guy who has his secrets, but I have to point out that in this boring girl you not only saw that, you saw a pretty girl after That girl told herself that she was disgusting, that no one was going to love her, that no one was going to desire her - I confess without further ado, I open myself up, caring little about what she thinks because it is something I need. I need to free myself. That girl hurt herself so badly that day that today she has a hard time believing in herself, she doubts, she is insecure and having someone's eyes on her she doesn't know how to handle it because she thinks they will hurt her. That's what I am. That's Emily Fiore, Salvatore, the girl you're now protecting and I don't think you should.

-Because? —He questions inquisitively—. You are what you want to be, it is expensive because it takes a process that not everyone knows how to complete. What I can tell you is that Fabian is not going to change because he is a man who was raised that way, you can do it, you can make all those things come out of your head,” he says. Because you are smart, beautiful, loving and you have things in that heart that no one else has. You are unique. You are valuable and you must always remind yourself of that because that way you break the enemy, when they see what you have become, they will doubt a lot, they will think if the most sensible thing was to harm you at the time and they will know that it was not. It is not the best. Because Emily Fiore will never need men, she will need herself to build the empire she wants.

That makes my heart stop for a second, security hits my body, my head reassuring me that just as he sees my greatness without having to get into my legs, I should see that too. I should look in the mirror and know where to start repairing so that in the end I can build the monument that I have always been.

—And what would my empire be? I highly doubt it is a school, no one would go because those places have contacts, you have to go through processes and the current schools are more than ten years old.

-You want that? Come on, let's go and do it, I'm not going to ask you for payment because I don't need it, but I know that I'm doing my job with you in a way that no one else will achieve,” he says fiercely, sure of helping. There are no impediments for that woman who wants to be more than others, who wants to equal the power of men and who wants to shut everyone's mouths. Why not do it Emily?

—Because... I have to work hard to do it.

"Not with meprincessa," he looks for my hand, the touch is hypnotic. That day I wanted to lose even my name and I didn't do it, I cried, I felt and I returned home to be safe from myself. You... You saved me Emily Fiore.

"Don't lie, you're Salvatore Marino," I commented ironically . The great gangster, murderer and cruel man who has everyone at his feet.

"No, not all of them," he gently takes my wrist. I don't have you, no matter how much I want to, I can't. Because I don't want to harm you, because I don't want to fall in love, because I don't want to lose you if something happens... Because you have a life that you love and I have another to which I have to pay loyalty and perseverance until my death.

His hand travels to my neck, caresses it and brushes my hair aside so he can let it fall on my back. The heat settles in my cheeks, from one moment to the next I get nervous.

—And why not try it, Salvatore?

—Because... I won't allow myself to harm you, it's better... It's better that you go back to your life when all this is over.

—Would you hurt me?

—I don't know, with all this... Emily, men are scum, many of them are, and I don't know when I'll lose control to the point of hurting you, and no, I'm not unfaithful, but I... I tend to "I'll give everything I have to save my loved ones." He removes his hand.

I move a little closer so I can put a hand against his shoulder, I climb up, cradling his neck in my palm. He doesn't withdraw, he stays still looking for me to continue with the caress that gives him new sensations that he hasn't experienced with anyone else because I know, it feels like he's looking for more of what I provoke in him.

"You had someone you lost." His jaw tenses. And that someone doesn't have to do with your parents, it has to do with a woman who did something bad or you shouldn't have loved her.

"My brothers are gossips," I start laughing and cover my mouth, "no, no, hand off Emily, I told you." He removes the hand that he places against his palm. I didn't do it, I couldn't because I had my father over me all the time, I was building the son of honor that I wanted. I didn't have time to love her, I only had time to pretend to be perfect... Like you, after all we are not so different, it is not difficult for us to pretend to be perfect in front of people while inside we are torturing and killing ourselves, right? ?

I finish by nodding, he puts my knuckles in his mouth, bites them with little force, tickles my skin. I try to take my hand away, but he refuses, giving them a kiss before coming back to me.

"If something happens, I want the balance to stay even," he asks. And forgive me for all the shit I've done so far. One thinks that... women don't have problems, especially those who are sweet and loving. I see that it is not like that, women often suffer from the actions of men and I... I hit you.

—Are you going to let me do it? If so, you can't put a finger on me, not one and neither can I, we must love it and—I caress his chest—we must challenge ourselves. That keeps us alive Salvatore.

"Hit me Emily, and forgive me for doing it."

Without him saying it twice his concentration disappears when I slide my hand over his chest until I raise it and hit him back fiercely. I look at him for a few seconds.

—Fuck, woman, you almost knocked out my teeth!

—It's what you deserve, because you're a bastard who thinks he has power over everyone and that we're all equal, and guess what? —I cross my arms—. No one is the same in this world, so don't treat me like you do with everyone else.

He massages his cheek, I stay seated and he moves closer so he can be closer to my lips, to my nose.

—Have you already been paid?

-No.

I hit him again with my palm wide open, he complains, he has nothing left but to smile. When he sees me I act strong, I don't let him intimidate me because I will start following his advice.

—Why are you interested in removing my teeth?

—Because you have made mistakes, not only with me, but with your brothers as well and you must work on that. I am not a psychologist, I am your... colleague that you now shelter in your house, that is why I help you, I accompany you on this journey full of risk and... I hope you make changes Salvatore, you deserve it because your life can go to hell. empty. Which will only be your decision.
