All Chapters of Cruel Heart: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

My grandmother's wake continued into the night, but as soon as the sun rose, her body was taken to the garden reserved once for the burial of my mother's body, and now, hers. We walked behind the coffin, all in black and with white lilies — saplings, to be exact; we would plant them around the grave, like we did with my mother.It was Christmas, but it didn't feel like it, it didn't have the essence of a Christmas day... Not until now.All the grandchildren gathered behind the sons, who were two tall men. My uncles lived far away, but they managed to arrive in time for the celebration, which was good for deciding where the body would be. By not arguing with Gina's proposal, we managed to have a beautiful celebration in a short time.We then prayed from the priest, who gave the final blessing so that the farewell came to an end. The coffin slowly descended, as we bent down and with the places already reserved, we planted the lilies.I finished my part right after Celina, who, like

KAANADAN SALVATORECeleste's look at me is fatal. Destroyer. If I could say it was as if The Beast was staring at me at that very moment.I heard Veronica's heels hum backwards and at the same moment Celeste's hands let go of me, turning to the blonde woman who had been accompanying her father. I grabbed her by the wrist, but Celeste got rid of me with the same skill as pulling out a dagger from her belt, hidden by her clothes.Which I sincerely hoped he wouldn't do now.— So, are you not going to answer me or do you really want me to find out telepathically? — Celeste shouts and her gaze is deadly towards Veronica, then me.— I came to accompany my father, Celeste. — Veronica replied with a firm voice, looking up at Celeste, which clearly awakens the fierce side of my docile wife.I turn around and, between both of them, I realize that I'm in trouble in several ways, but I'm not going to solve any of them if I don't decide which one to solve first. And at this moment, I prefer t

I organized some things for Gabriel while I had my breakfast, the house was not empty this time and the sound of the TV on announced more than anything Mariano's presence in the largest part of the hotel room, where he can easily be and is considered the room. I brought the fork to my mouth, pulling out a fresh piece of watermelon. I was still a little drowsy, as I could barely sleep that night for some unidentified reason, but it basically left me feeling worried and insomnia. As soon as I got up, Mariano was already here so I just started my work...— "The accident on the road outside Bethesda happened last night, information claimed to have links with settlements of scores between local mafias; hand grenade and large weapons were located, in addition to ten dead bodies, still unidentified ..."A voice sounded on the morning news, catching my eye and making me look at the big screen where Mariano was staring intently.— "... The police are trying to discover t

KAANADAN SALVATOREThe soldiers' cemetery was in a large section at the bottom of the Bethesda mansion grounds, far from the house, but in the midst of a forest of tall trees that are now as green as the evergreen grass.A full funeral is almost rare when it comes to soldiers, but today was different, in every corner you could find a group, all in black, while the priest prayed for Scott's soul, who today would leave for a world we didn't want to be in, but we would go by our actions, by our attitudes obligatory by the world to which we came.The day had barely begun, but at Ada's own request, there was no lengthy wake. The body remained for only thirty minutes after arriving for a farewell, then the procession with the body to the cemetery was done and now everyone asked for mercy for the soul that was gone from a body that fought so hard.Crying flooded amid the prayers, the bowed heads announced much more than a simple act, but somehow it was a tha

I don't leave it aside, but I turn back to the pier, slowing down and then turning off the car.As we leave, Celeste heads to the already familiar yacht and I head in the opposite direction, towards a nearby market to do some shopping. From what she told me, I assume I'll have to make a good purchase.I return to the yacht with two large bags. I enter it and find Celeste at the end of the boat, looking at the blue water. As soon as I organize the purchases on the large dining table, I prepare the yacht to remove it from the edge of the pier, freeing it and then climbing into control, starting it and taking it slowly towards the center of the sea. Driving it is not difficult, so I feel at ease when I take it away from the city and to a place empty of everything, leaving only the sea and the yacht. Then I turn it off and leave it in neutral mode and stopped.I go down the stairs and see Celeste with a bunch of grapes in her hands, while sitting on an outside sofa. I app
