Sub Urban Cradles

No dia do meu casamento, meus pais chegaram em casa com o meu noivo e uma decisão que partiu meu mundo ao meio: a noiva seria outra. — Sua irmã está morrendo. O último desejo dela é se casar com Otávio. — Disseram, com a voz firme de quem já decidiu. — Você é a irmã mais nova. Seja generosa. Faça esse sacrifício por ela. Otávio, o homem que eu amava, olhou nos meus olhos e disse com uma calma gelada: — É só um casamento simbólico. Quando ela partir, nós oficializamos o nosso. Eu disse não. E por isso, me prenderam. Com cordas e promessas vazias. — Depois da cerimônia, vamos te soltar. — Garantiram. Mas a cerimônia aconteceu. E, enquanto eles celebravam o que chamaram de amor, um estranho entrou pela porta da frente. E me matou. Sem piedade. Quando finalmente lembraram de mim, encontraram apenas o silêncio da casa e o meu corpo, já sem vida, tomado pelo tempo.

Una vez que quedé embarazada, fui aclamada como la mujer más preciosa del submundo. Mi esposo, el nuevo Don de la familia Jenkins, cerró toda una ala de un hospital privado para mis chequeos, mientras que mi padre, el Don de los Collins, convocó a todos los chefs con estrellas Michelin de Nueva York a la mansión, solo para que yo pudiera elegir cualquier cosa que se me antojara. El bebé que llevaba en mi vientre estaba destinado a ser el único heredero de las dos familias de la mafia más poderosas. Pero el día en que debíamos firmar los documentos que aseguraban la herencia de mi hijo, ambos desaparecieron. —Surgió un asunto familiar urgente —dijo mi esposo, Vincent, besando mi frente—. Podemos finalizar la herencia del niño cuando regresemos. No hay prisa. Poco después de que se marcharan, recibí un enlace a una transmisión en vivo anónima. La voz de mi padre se escuchaba en el video, más fría de lo que jamás la había sentido. —Estás diciendo que tu contrato de matrimonio con Evangeline nunca fue válido. ¿Eso no convierte al niño en un bastardo? Vincent, relajado en un club, sopló un anillo de humo. Acurrucada en sus brazos estaba mi media hermana, Sarah. —Evangeline siempre ha tenido todo el amor y el afecto. A su hijo no le faltará nada —respondió Vincent—. Sarah ha sido burlada por su estatus durante años. Tengo que hacer las cosas bien para ella, darle a nuestro hijo un nombre legítimo. En ese momento, mi corazón se paralizó y apenas podía respirar. Entonces mi teléfono vibró de nuevo. Era un mensaje de texto: [Bienvenida a casa a la familia Gallo, mi reina.] [Solo di la palabra, y el niño que llevas llevará el apellido Gallo y se convertirá en el heredero más poderoso del submundo estadounidense.]
