"Could you tell me if the other names also belong to my brother's inner circle? "I questioned, reopening the pages. "I did some research on the internet. I heard that most of these people are still alive. Others died of mysterious and natural causes. But I wonder why my brother would have this kind of thing without a greater reason than just a future blackmail. Because there's nothing written here. Nothing that can catch the attention of the police if the notebook fell into the wrong hands. No real proof, other than his writing, that these people may have had anything to do with the kidnapped boys. Why write their names in a notebook if you couldn't deliver them in the future?”"Because he never intended to deliver anyone, Penelope," Hunter said in a whining tone. "The night I met Suzane, your brother sent men to kill me. I should be on this list because I know too much information about the location of the Brotherhood. Today the police also know. And that was Saltuk's fear. He knew t

Colton has always been very safe and very funny. His jokes were not good at all to laugh at, but the shame of others that everyone felt when listening to them was enough for him to feel better in being able to say them. I had a theory that Colton felt his immunity drop extremely fast when he didn't say some nonsense out of time. That, on the one hand, was boring and stupid, but... Considering that adults are reflections of his childhood traumas, maybe he just didn't feel that need to want to be the best, to want to make someone laugh, why as a child he never had someone to do that for him? I didn't know anymore which of my worst theories fit into Colton's past. I was just sure he was weird.After my brother came up, Colton confessed to having to take medicine to help with anxiety. He was a normal person until the moment the Brotherhood emerged in his life. After that, he started to have a kind of panic that he never described to anyone. Suzane just told me that he looked after his sis

“Yes, they also started after I forged a fake marriage. "I tell the truth, laughing at Colton's shocked expression. He seemed to be turning pale with the gossip. The blue eyes shone with fun, so I tried to explain: "Not that either of them has a sexual orientation to be hidden. Suzane is straight, and Hunter is from the world, I think he would fall in love with people like me, I don't know. But the two met long before everything, when she was still young and so was he. My brother seriously assaulted her and my father told her to be killed. Hunter was the one who did the dirty work at that time, since he had gained my father's trust many years before. But he refused to kill Suzane, and was punished for it, but, years later, they coincidentally met at a subway station, right after Suzy was betrayed by Dean. So they started this lie and ended up really married.”"Did your brother and father act so coldly? "Questioned Colton, increasingly pale. "Lope, I never imagined that your family cou

“Hunter! "Rebuked Suzane, gesturing with his hands. "It's not cool for you to say that about Colton. He was the one who suffered the most from Jonathan's pressures. And he didn't even know who the hell Jonathan was. And because you like him a little, you should show a little more respect. Confess that you are only angry because he is always aligned and smiling.”"I confess, I never liked him, but now I like him a little," said the Turk."Anyway, I don't think Mikaela and Colton could become a version like yours," I spoke in a cute tone, and they both smiled without showing their teeth. "They put up with each other and were friends, but nothing more than that. But I still think you, Suzane, should be the last person to support me in anything with Colton. If your sister finds out that you don't put much faith in her marriage, you might get upset. Mikaela is pretty crazy. Show your support or she'll freak out.”"Oh, no, the marriage between them wouldn't happen anyway," said Suzane with

"Okay, but what does this have to do with the part where you call her family and tell her about everything? "I asked, and Colton gave me a sharp look. "I'm not saying that you deserved to catch or listen to any of these things. Don't start misinterpreting me, Colton. I'm just saying that something like this is very serious. No person who has a sexual orientation different from what everyone expects can reveal this so suddenly and unprepared. It's something that messes with all our intimacies. I understand Mika, because I'd hate for a stranger to put the bedelho where he's not called. You really didn't have the right to tell her mother's witch that she was a lesbian, but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and I'd like to listen to your version of the story.”"So let me continue," he said with a gesture with his shoulders. I went back to lying down on the pillows, watching him still shake his hands to stir the dough. "She started screaming saying that it wasn't fair for you to stay wit
