Now she's on me
And I can't let her go!
And my bones are crumbling
And she stole my faith againManipulation.
Burn
I could burn the city
I could put you underground
Make the stars fall from the sky
Make the clouds and the sky cry
I could burn it all down
low low low
I will not surrender
I never learned to lose a fight
I'm afraid I'm going to have to break up with you now
You better run or else I just might
Burn - 2WEI
Diana
We hurriedly board a cargo plane seeking to get out of town as quickly as possible before Sartori's soldiers arrive. Things went better than expected, Theo and Katarina have already tried their best to understand what the relationship with Ortega is, but I prefer to keep a secret the chance to get my children back is real and just knowing that they are safe with their father I can keep head straight to follow through with the plan.
Leaning against a cargo box, I feel the turmoil of feelings inside my chest, all the anxiety turning towards my stomach, the feeling of helplessness increases along with the feeling of inadequacy, they should be with me, all the time stolen by Stefano no will be reset.
I lift my head looking at the ceiling of the plane, enjoying the moment of silence while the two of them sleep on the right side, how could I have been so stupid… no torture would have been good enough for that son of a bitch.
At least the results of the plan with Ortega will run fast, I need to get my hands on Vicenzo's bastard, cross one more off the list to give the least amount of comfort to this need for carnage.
Following the Hunter's line of reasoning, the Mc should provide weapons to other families within NY if he somehow manages to capitalize on the president's interest.
I smile at the idea, the last four days in Carlos' company made me realize more things about Diana…. she knew so much about Beatrice, her hopes that one day her husband would change, her dream of having a big family, her passion for cooking and books, her attempts to please Stefano, her submission to him.
He made a point of destroying the innocent little girl, and creating a woman who desires blood, torture, revenge and at the same time has all these desires appeased by hot and dirty sex. Carlos made a point of showing how much my body is still alive, I remember his every thrust squeezing my legs.
If Dragon is looking for me and interested as Theo thinks, I can use that to our advantage, find out which families he supplies weapons and, best of all, assuage the urge to rip Vicenzo's head off taking advantage of that tanned, muscled body. That's it, having an ear about the club's business will advance some pieces on the board and speeding up this game is my priority now, the faster I can eliminate the enemies the faster I can have the kids safe with me, and enjoy every moment that was stolen.
With the sudden movement of the plane when it landed, awake with my thoughts, along with Theo and Katarina who began to organize themselves for the descent, we paid for the soldier's contact and left the airport at night, which facilitates our locomotion through the streets of the city.
A little further from the airport we take a taxi towards Fort George, I watch my sister still sleepy leaning her head on the shoulder of a suspicious Theo with a curious look in my direction.
Through the car window I observe the buildings colored by the lights that illuminate the night of the city that never sleeps, stopping at a traffic light I catch my eye on a mother wrapping her son.
I take a deep breath swallowing the feelings, now is not the time for weaknesses.
I remember the scared blue eyes when he realized he was trapped, the screams of fury when he saw me there in front of him smiling and ready to start destroying every piece of him.
I feel my palms sweat with the need to have that kind of adrenaline again, the memories can't compare to reality, and by Dio how good it is.
I only realize that the car has stopped because Theo opens the door, and I get out of the cab feeling dizzy from the desires trapped inside my chest. We go up the stairs of the building, I feel the tap on my shoulder as I reach the top floor hallway, noticing Theo's indication that someone is inside the apartment, I hurry past Katarina along with him, who pulls out a gun and opens the front door. one time.
Hunter is sitting on a stool having a drink, I take a deep breath looking for some patience not to explode at my brother's unexpected visit.
“If I had my cell phone on, I'd know I've been here a long time. - I roll my eyes walking towards the kitchen, while they talk.
I take a bottle of water and fill a glass, trying to get back to the present, I lift my head with the heavy silence that fills the entire apartment, the curious looks, the silent questions.
“We have a deal with Ortega.” I sigh, speaking the most important thing, seeing my brother's disbelief reactions, the look of fury filling his face.
"Did you make a deal with the Cartel boss?" - Runs his hands through his furious dark hair - Holy shit! What was going through his fucking head?
I've just drank the water, listening to their complaints, but too airborne by the events to be able to discuss any of my attitudes, it's not as if one of them had moved a finger to really understand what was happening inside that hell. I feel my head start to throb and I place my hands on the counter, Theo and Hunter start arguing and Katarina tries to argue about how we were treated at Ortega's, which only seems to infuriate my brother for exposing her. As for how dangerous and risky it was, it seems Sartori left with all of his men taking Jackson and Giacomo together and leaving everyone else afraid of what will happen when he returns to NY.
With everything left in that office he can start a witch hunt, if he were smarter he would fake dementia and take everyone by surprise, but the Don has the same problem as his son can't control his contempt, nor hide his fury.
The Riina no longer have any heirs, the other capos mainly Giovani must request some part of the business, anyway he will need to raise some of the families the Riina's business is worth a lot of money for the organization.
The discussions stop with the ringing of Hunter's cell phone, it seems that Giacomo gives news about what happened in Arizona, announcing his return and the wedding with Giulia.
“You see, everything went according to plan.” I smile at his hateful face as I hang up the phone.
— So far Sartori has divided Riina's possessions between Giacomo and Jack — He snorts, making me widen my eyes, as Dio is unique — What the fuck did you do Diana?
“Whatever is needed Hunter, always what is needed. - I run my hands through my short hair that is growing faster than I would like - We need to do our part.
— What would it be? – The three sit waiting.
— First, Ortega will come here — I ignore his angry face and continue — We made a deal with a man of his, it seems that the daughter of the informant we planted there for Sartori to kill was crossed by some coyotes and will be shipped in a container by the From Angelis.
— Their business is not Bambino human trafficking — He answers without understanding.
I walk over to the backpack, which I've dropped by the door, and pick up the documents showing the money exchanged between them for buying and selling girls and sending some of them to some of their clubs in Italy. An absurd profit being hidden from the division with Cosa Nostra for the manufacture of illegal drinks.
According to everything we got from Riina's house, the girls will arrive in the city in five days by trucks from the De Angelis companies, the shipment had already been made and it would not be possible to intercept the cargo without raising their suspicion. However, we can take advantage of the moment to fix one of the two brothers, according to Ortega it is the time needed for him to reorganize the cartel in Mexico and calm some men with the loss of the place in Arizona. Carlos is many things, but I have to admit that the man is serious about his agreements, he personally comes to pick up the girl to take her safely to his territory in Mexico, since what we are going to do with the others I have no idea yet.
— So, that Giacomo arrives you need to let him know about it, the ideal would be to try to make the wedding in these five days, but I agree to be very fast.
— Not so much — Katarina replies, I hope it continues — Sartori will start a war, so Giacomo won't have a honeymoon because he's his trusted man, Giovani and Vicenzo will be furious at having to hand over Giulia, so he just has to convince the bride say that she is almost old enough, everyone in the family will feel sorry for the situation of the youngest.
