Chapter 47: Cecilia

I still couldn't believe that I actually had a gun on my waist, I had only used it once. But the occasion needed it.

When we got there, we immediately saw that it was a trap, Lorenzo didn't let me follow, he knew I wouldn't stop until I got information. He made me go back and send another person who, as soon as he was spotted, was shot immediately, meaning they were going to kill me. We got back in the car and left before they saw us. I was unhappy with what had happened, we stopped at one of the family bars, and I needed to calm down somehow. Lorenzo thought it best to take me to one of the family's nightclubs.

“Boss, you need to calm down. She is visibly out of control,” he said quietly.

He was correct, I was really out of control, I downed the glass of whiskey at once, and the liquid burned my throat, that was what I needed.

“Boss… Cecília…” Lorenzo called me.

I looked up at him, still without saying anything.

“We will find him, if he is alive I will bring him back to you,” he said.

I calmed down a little, but I wasn't very excited, I was uncomfortable, how could someone play with people so much?

I remained silent for a few more minutes, I needed to breathe and think about what I was going to do.

“I'm tired of all this, I don't have the family's respect, and I don't have obedience, I'm not strong enough for that,” I said.

“You are the strongest, bravest woman I have ever met,” Lorenzo said.

“Thanks, you’re a great ass kisser,” I said laughing and he also gave a small smile.

“Look who I found,” I heard a familiar voice behind me. When I turned around I smiled at the figure.

“Andrey, it’s good to see a face I know,” she said excitedly and went to hug him.

“How are you, I heard about everything that happened here, and I decided to stay for a little longer, just to support you,” she said.

“It's good to see a familiar face,” I told him.

Maybe Andrey's presence would help me more because I wasn't doing my role as boss well.

“Lorenzo we can go home,” she said and he nodded. “And you Andrey are invited to have dinner with me today, I need to talk to you.”

We left the bar and on the way I decided to stop by the hospital, seeing Dominik was the only thing that calmed me down. I went straight up to the room where he was, his face would be a comfort to me.

I sat in the armchair next to the bed and could no longer hold back the tears.

“I can't do it without you Dominik, they don't respect me, they look at me crookedly, I had to kill a man to get some respect. I didn't get any news from Antônio, I want to give up, come back soon, please,” when I finished saying that, his hand squeezed mine, I was scared, and he reacted.

I called the doctors and they confirmed that there was an improvement in his clinical condition and that from that moment on it was a matter of time before he woke up, it was good news in the midst of the sea of ​​bad things that I was facing. We returned home, I needed a shower, it was my time to think, so I went straight to the room. Inside the box I reflected on what I was doing, I needed to change my posture, I had to be more confident, and tougher, and I needed to exercise the power I had, otherwise they would take me out of the place I am and Dominik wouldn't like that.

When I got out of the shower I had assumed the posture I had when I lived with my aggressive guardians, the tough and untouchable posture, that was what I needed, I put on black clothes and went downstairs, I had to put the new orders into practice. Before I even reached the room I heard gunshots, and I saw Lorenzo screaming and running towards me.

“It’s an attack, ma’am, protect yourself…”
