Vendida Para O Don

Everyone in New York knew I was the Godfather’s heart. Gavin Whitestone’s heart. He loved me for ten years. He’d fly into a rage if I so much as got a paper cut. But he’s the one who gave me these three scars. The first time, he pulled every doctor to treat Sofia, the girl who took a bullet for him, and ignored the shrapnel tearing into my side. The second time, he was drugged and fucking Sofia in his bed. When I walked in on them, he shoved me aside, desperately carrying her to the hospital. The third time, he took my father's last gift to me—a revolver—and gave it to a pregnant Sofia, just to make her smile. He told me, “It’s all for the baby. Once the baby is born, we’ll go back to how we were.” But this time, I didn't forgive him. I threw away every gift he ever gave me and vanished without a trace. And that’s when the untouchable Godfather finally broke.

Me disponía a irme del restaurante de mi hermano cuando la gerente me detuvo. —Señorita, no ha pagado su cuenta todavía. Al ver su cara desconocida, pensé: "Debe ser nueva y no me conoce". Así que me expliqué con calma: —Cárgalo a la cuenta del señor Blanco. Él ya sabe. La gerente me lanzó una mirada llena de desprecio. —Señorita, somos un Tres Estrellas Michelin. Aquí no cargamos cuentas a nadie —dijo, entregándome la cuenta impresa. Bajé la mirada y la revisé: cincuenta mil dólares por una comida. Incluía: "Mantenimiento de vajilla brillante: tres mil. Purificación de aire exclusiva: cinco mil. Servicio de manejo emocional para VIPs: diez mil". Y montones de conceptos absurdos más. No sabía que mi hermano hubiera abierto un lugar tan estafador. Solté una risa sarcástica. —Soy la hermana del señor Blanco. Si hay algún problema, que me hable en la casa. Pero ella no se dio por vencida. —¿Ahora no puede pagar y se hace la emparentada? ¿Y hasta se inventa ser familia del señor Blanco? Envié un mensaje de texto a mi asistente: "Dile a mi hermano que o despide a esta mujer ahora mismo, o retiro toda mi inversión".

Eu estava grávida de oito meses e participava de um baile de caridade com meu marido, o Don Massimo, quando uma família rival nos atacou. A multidão entrou em pânico. Fui empurrada ao chão com violência. Havia sangue por toda parte. Massimo perdeu o controle, gritando por médicos, desesperado para salvar meu bebê. Mas, quando acordei, eles tinham desaparecido. Ambos. Sem bebê, sem Massimo. Lembrei-me dos tiros, de Massimo me protegendo com o próprio corpo. Um pavor gelado tomou conta de mim. Arrastei-me até uma cadeira de rodas e corri pelo corredor. Foi quando os ouvi — Massimo e o médico. — Don, sinto muito. Fizemos tudo o que pudemos. O bebê… ele não sobreviveu. Lágrimas escorriam pelo meu rosto. Eles mataram meu bebê. A família rival matou meu bebê. Mas as palavras seguintes dele destruíram meu mundo. — Havia apenas uma equipe médica. Eu tive que fazer uma escolha. Bianca… ela também estava carregando meu filho. Massimo suspirou e então deu a ordem: — Ninguém conte a Arabella. Ela vai criar o filho de Bianca como se fosse dela. Ele será meu único herdeiro. Tapei a boca com a mão, minha visão embaçada pelas lágrimas enquanto me virava. O homem que eu amava era uma mentira. Tudo bem. Se ele quer uma guerra, ele vai ter uma.
