RULES ARE RULESThe quiet days soon gave way to darker ones. One minute things were going well, and the next they were going badly. That's what Cloe thought about what it was like to live life in the mafia. Like what Milla was telling her:“It was Shay who poisoned me against you the first time I saw you, you know?” “No, I didn't know," answered Cloe, with full attention on her friend now. They were at Milla's house and were planting some seedlings that Layla had given to the girl. Cloe had promised to help her create a garden in her house, and was helping her with this, since she had returned from her hometown and had not yet decided whether she would stay there for good.“ Didn't you see at the farewell party for Gringo and me the way she looked at you while learning the dance steps?”“ No, I greeted her, but I didn't see her again during the party. I thought she was harsh with me, but I couldn't figure out why.”She hates you, Cloe, she envies you!”“ You can't be serious!” Cloe

WICKEDNESSDoctor Zaquim was already treating Tulio, but Clara as she entered the office and saw him lying unconscious on the stretcher, the crimson of his blood soaking the paper where he was lying, fainted.Gringo and Milla accompanied her there and were her support, one on each side so she wouldn't fall.“ Tulio…” " she moaned, her legs weakened and her friends supported her, making her sit up.She was so close to him, just a few steps away, but she couldn't reach him. Gringo was holding her tight.“ Let them take care of him," Gringo asked softly.”Flora, the nurse and wife of Dr. Zaquim, was taking care of Tulio. Cloe looked at him lying there unconscious without believing that the strong and imposing man was so fragile and at the mercy of two pairs of hands that were poking him, turning him on his side, helping him, and trying to help him.Flora spoke to the doctor in their language, and few things could be understood. The nurse followed what the doctor told her to do, and with

FIRE! Gringo arrived at the cottage with the tires of the pickup truck they had used to get there lifting gravel on the ground and didn't even turn it off as he ran down. He went back to the truck and gave an order to the three guys he had taken. - I want you to get away from here, go into the woods, walk around, but don't stay around for at least an hour! - And when one of them made mention of saying something, the three of them couldn't understand how he could want to be alone with Calo, he made a hateful face that scared them. - Go! Pulling the thirty-eight from his waistband, he didn't even hit the door, with a kick to the middle of the wood, he yanked it off the jamb, one more kick and the door was on the floor. I was going to go upstairs, but Ruben came naked down the stairs, startled by being found and the noise. A sheet tied around his waist and the shot to the knee made him scream and fall. Gringo came to her with blood in his eyes, his teeth grinding, his jaw clenched. The

FRIGIDITY, NIGHTMARES AND FEAR!Tulio left the care center two days later and to the relief of Cloe, his grandmother and her partners, he was fine.Layla didn't leave her grandson's side, bringing him yummy food twice a day, plus affection and a good dash of drama.“ Your parents must be turning in their graves, yarn, they must hate me for not taking good care of you!” She started the drama as soon as she saw him. And as always, Tulio hugged her and kissed her.“ They must be very proud of you, and there is no one who could hate you, Grandma, is there, Cloe?”Cloe joined in the hug and agreed, saying that everyone loved her.The days that Tulio stayed in treatment were tense for the girl. She had nightmares that woke her up in the middle of the night and she began to sleep with the lights on, because when she was attacked by nightmares she was absolutely sure that Cloe, or Ruben, was in her room watching her sleep and smiling in the dark. She would wake up soaked with sweat and tears

THE BANDITCloe looked nothing like the girl four years ago, nothing like the girl who joined Tulio's gang years ago. The change had been radical, and not only in her hair - at the moment it was blue, but she had changed colors so much that those who had known her for the last four years did not even know what her original color had been - but her clothes had also changed. She was no longer the insipid and timid girl who jumped at every crack of gunfire she heard, no longer the shy girl who thought before she spoke.She was addicted to exercise and ran every morning for miles to maintain her physique, she felt safer about being attacked, she acquired much more confidence now, and it wasn't only because she had more companions now, she had her own retinue of helpers, but her self-esteem had improved a lot after the mishaps she had gone through to get there.Her change obviously brought a burden to her relationship with Tulio, and it couldn't be otherwise. She loved him and felt loved b

A DIFFERENT WOMANTulio and Cloe tried not to distance themselves, each of them now had their own business, the mafia was not for those who wanted to have a quiet life. Leading so many people, taking care of so many others, obviously took its toll on their relationship. The love was the same and even seemed to increase more and more, but as he himself had once said, love alone was not enough, and it was true.She saw him looking at her when she thought she didn't notice, and the same was true for her. She liked to watch him sleep, during insomnia, her most cruel friend since Ruben's attack; sometimes she didn't even try to sleep, for fear of the nightmares that haunted her in the dream world.“ Who is Calo?” One night when she tried to sleep, she woke up with Tulio looking into her eyes very closely. She had shouted the name of the scoundrel who had raped her, and in the nightmare she called him by the name he had introduced himself to her. The nightmares were almost always the same.

MAJOR NEGOTIATIONSCloe felt strange that she was no longer sharing anything with her love. But she preferred it this way, she was no longer the innocent little girl he had known, no longer a fearful and scared little girl, Milla had said she was thick"skinned and it was true, because she, besides not sharing everything with him, not even her feelings she shared with him anymore. They were his alone. Before, she could barely stand to share anything with him, anything that happened, how much she missed her parents and her brother. Peter was now eighteen and to protect him, she didn't even have him on her social networks. Getting involved with dangerous "heavy" people, as her mother used to say, and why would she want her brother by her side, knowing about her life now, since she was no longer his delicate and calm older sister? She had lost count of how many friend requests she had received from her brother, often ignoring names and Nicks that she knew were his. That old life was behin

REMINDSEven though the idea she gave at the meeting was the best and everyone, after she left them, decided to put it into practice, Tulio was deeply annoyed with her.“ Boss, the idea is good and we should carry it out," said Gringo. “ We have at least three who come to mind now who could stand in Kobe's place and take the blame.”“ Do you think this might be possible, Valdo?” Tulio asked the lawyer.“ Yes, it is quite possible if you have someone to take the blame in his place. Everything would have to be done as quickly as possible, before the next hearing I have with the prosecutor.”And everything was settled. Tulio asked his men to make a survey and see who could come forward as soon as possible.He went to his house on his motorcycle, he loved to accelerate to the maximum when he had so many things on his mind as he did now. He went straight past his house, got on a highway and rode for more than two hours, until his body was exhausted and his ass was stiff. He didn't go home
