O With Cross Through It

During my wedding, hundreds of photos of me being sullied flutter down from the top of the church, landing before the guests below. My fiancé instantly calls off our engagement and turns to kiss my sister. Devastation washes over me. Just then, my childhood friend Derek Church, the Capo of the Church family, the East Coast's most powerful mafia family, pulls me into his arms. He kicks the church's door open and presses a check worth a million dollars into my father's hands. He pulls me to the priest and has him announce that we are husband and wife. I'm so touched that I agree to marry him. From then on, I become the Capo's wife. Two years later, Derek and I finally conceive through IVF. I want to share the exciting news with him when I overhear his conversation with his subordinate. "Lilyanne is afraid of pain and becoming ugly, so we can use Nicole to give birth to her child. Once she produces an heir for the Morse family, her position will be solidified. Then, the Morse family will become the Church family's MadeMan." "As expected of you, boss. You knew the Morse family is full of politicians who would never accept a sullied woman into the family. The only way for Lilyanne to marry into the family was by having Nicole sullied." My blood runs cold when I hear this, and the pregnancy report in my hand feels unbelievably heavy. The man I thought was my salvation was actually the devil who pulled me into the abyss. I dry my tears and call the Capo of the West Coast's mafia family, Derek's nemesis. "I have a way to help you become the mafia Capo dei capi. Do you want to work with me?"

Quando descobri a gravidez, Umberto Azevedo contratou um médico renomado a peso de ouro para me receitar medicamentos para a gestação.

Meu pai nos levou ao mercado negro para escolher um par de gêmeos como nossos guarda-costas. Minha mana escolheu primeiro o irmão mais velho, alto e forte, e me deixou com o caçula, o "mudo" que mal respirava. Com pena dele, acabei deixando que ficasse ao meu lado. Ele não falava, então eu o levava para procurar médicos e remédios. Ele tinha uma mania séria de limpeza, então eu mantinha distância. Eu achava que ele só tinha passado por algum trauma para ficar daquele jeito. Até que os inimigos do meu pai sequestraram a mim e à minha mana. E ele me largou para trás, escolhendo sem hesitar morrer bloqueando a bala pela minha mana. Antes de morrer, ele falou pela primeira vez, com os olhos vermelhos, olhando para ela: — Finalmente você pode me ver. E, para mim, ele disse: — Na próxima vida... por favor, não me escolha. Só então percebi que ele não era mudo, nem tinha mania de limpeza. Esse "mudo" e essa "mania" eram só para mim e mais ninguém. Quando abri os olhos de novo, voltei ao dia em que fomos escolher os guarda-costas. Desta vez, fiz exatamente como ele queria.

A culpa é dela, por fazer a Cami perder o vestibular e acabar indo estudar fora. Daqui a um mês a Cami volta, e eu me livro de vez dessa idiota.
