Chapter 6

La familia Zhao podía ser muy diferente a la familia Bach, mientras los orientales obtenían su fortuna mediante negocios nada legales y su poder radicaba en la destreza de acabar a sangre fría con sus enemigos, los Bach gozaban de una fortuna tan grande que les serviría para mantener a cien generaciones más, sin necesidad que trabajaran, y su poder lo obtenían de favores que brindaban, para algunos los Bach eran reyes, otros los consideraban dioses que ayudaban en el momento preciso, y para algunos eran el mismo diablo tentándolos a darles lo que desearan a cambio de que les debieran un favor, uno que ellos cobrarían como y cuando quisieran; pero, había algo en lo que ambas familias eran iguales y eso era el amor a sus hijos, mientras Linda y Rene se propusieron aprovechar las vacaciones de sus hijos para tratar de unirlos una vez más como cuando eran niños y poseían esa alegría y camaradería, Jade y Loan estaban dispuestos a aprovechar ese tiempo para guiar a sus hijos, ahora sabían qué lugar ocuparía cada uno en la organización, y debían darse a la tarea de que sus hijos lo aceptaran, pero muchas veces lo que uno planea, no es precisamente lo que sucede.

Nueva York:

— Mi Ángel, mi amor, solo tú, lo has sido todo para mi… — el aire ingresaba con dificultad, mientras su mano ensangrentada acariciaba su cabellera. — Sin ti, nunca hubiera sabido lo que es el amor. — se estaba despidiendo y ella lo sabía, sus ojos celestes brillaban con fervor, no se veían como los ojos de un moribundo, Matt jamás podría lucir así.

— Si alguna vez me hubieran dicho que el Ángel de la muerte tenía un lado tan cursi, no lo hubiera creído. — el pelirrojo se hinco a su lado, Melody, quien estaba con la cabeza recostada en las piernas del afamado asesino Matt Ángel, su esposo, tuvo la intención de disparar, pero apenas sostuvo su arma, sintió la diferencia de peso, claro que sí, ella era la susurradora, ella era igual que su esposo, sabía que las balas se habían terminado y ni ella, ni Matt tenían la fuerza para matarlo con sus manos.

— Verdugo. — susurro llena de odio, no podía irse aún, no cuando cargaba la información que en ese momento le estaba quemando el alma.

— Oh, disculpa susurradora, no quise interrumpir su despedida, después de todo, al menos eso le permitieron a mis padres cuando los mataron, ¿no es así? — la burla en la voz del pelirrojo era notoria, pero Melody veía el dolor que aun guardaban sus ojos.

— Has esperado 20 años para acabar con nosotros y vengar a tus padres, lo has conseguido, te felicito, pero, déjame decirte algo… — la pelinegra no estaba mejor que su esposo, pero al menos podía respirar sin tanta molestia. — Será mejor que regreses a Irlanda, y nunca salgas de allí, te recomiendo que duermas con un ojo abierto y nunca le des la espalda a una puerta o ventana, porque mis Ángeles te buscaran, te encontraran y te mataran. — el pelirrojo sabía que se refería a su hijo y nietos, todos y cada uno eran asesinos, ellos habían nacido para serlo. — Solo espero que mueras bajo las dagas de mi Ángel misericordioso, o inclusive el arma de mi Shofar, pídele a Dios y a tus padres, que mi bello Hades sea tu ejecutor, cualquiera de ellos te dará una muerte digna, mantendrán el pacto de asesinos, te enviaran con tus padres con el mismo honor con el que tu hoy nos envías con mi pequeña hija; en verdad, Nolan, pide que no sea nuestro Azazel quien te mate, o rogaras morir mucho antes de que él decida acabar contigo. — un escalofrío subió por la espalda del afamado verdugo, y supo que era tiempo de marcharse, dejar que los enamorados se despidan o sería un cadáver más que sacarían de esa bodega.

— En ese caso, hasta nunca. — se marchó igual de silencioso que cuando llego, y Matt no perdió tiempo en verlo, solo importaba su esposa.

— Siempre me gusto tu voz al dar un mensaje de muerte. — murmuro y dejo una última caricia en el rostro blanquecino de Mel, quien sintió las gotas de sangre caer sobre su mejilla y supo que era tiempo de hacerle frente a la despedida.

— En el cielo o el infierno, en esta vida y en la próxima, te encontrare mi amor. — era la primera vez en la vida que Melody deseaba gritar, pero, el nudo en su garganta al ver como los ojos de Matt se opacaba no se lo permitió, su esposo había muerto, si ella era la razón de vivir de Matt, él era la vida de Melody, no resistiría mucho más, cada segundo se convertía en una tortura, queria morir, queria seguirlo a donde sea que fuera.

— ¡Melody! — el grito de un Ángel nunca se oyó tan bello para esta mujer, aun así, no podía despegar sus ojos negros de los celestes sin vida de su esposo, hasta que Candy llego a su lado y tomo su rostro. — Todo estará bien Mel, lo juro. — queria decirle que nunca le pudo mentir, no a ella que la conocía desde siempre, era su cuñada, su mejor amiga, era familia y eso la hizo recordar el motivo por el que aun respiraba.

— Candy…

— Te ayudaremos. — la interrumpió la rubia con desespero al ver su abdomen, Melody estaba segura de que debía tener tantos impactos de balas como Matt.

— Me moriré… — Candy comenzó a negar con frenesí ante aquellas palabras. — Quiero hacerlo Candy, no lo dejare, sabes que a Matt no se le da bien el estar solo y a mí tampoco. — los verdes ojos de Candy se nublaron ante las lágrimas que caían sin cesar.

— Hades te necesita, piensa en tus nietos. — claro que pensaba en ellos, pero el que acababa de morir era su mundo, su amor, su todo.

— Candy... — la llamo casi con enfado. — Lo descubrimos, la trampa del verdugo valió la pena. — Candy la vio con sorpresa, no comprendía porque si Matt y Melody sabían que iban a una emboscada continuaron con su misión, una que, para asombro de la familia, no habían querido dar ninguna información de que se trataba. — Alguien del clan del dragón rojo uso el esperma de Felipe, los Zhao… tienen al hijo de Felipe, pero no lo saben, y yo no sé cuál de los tres es.

I had exactly forty-five minutes to get married, or I would lose the voting shares needed to stop my father from laundering millions through our family foundation. Everything was riding on this one legal signature at the City Clerk’s office. But just as I reached the front of the line, my phone buzzed with a high-definition photo of my fiancé, Preston, tangled in sheets with a junior associate at a SoHo hotel. The man I was about to tie my life to was a fraud, and my deadline was ticking toward zero. When I shoved the evidence in his face, he didn't even flinch. Instead, he gripped my wrist until the bone ground together, whispering that I was just a "junkie" fresh out of a Swiss clinic and that no one else would ever marry a liability with a personality disorder. My father was already standing by with a fraudulent medical affidavit, ready to force me into a conservatorship and strip me of my freedom the moment the clock hit 5 PM. They had spent years using my fake "instability" as a leash, treating me like a broken doll while they bled the company dry. I was the only one with the evidence to take them down, yet I was being discarded like a sunk cost by the very men who were supposed to protect me. I looked at Preston’s smug face and realized I didn't need a husband; I needed a predator. I scanned the room and spotted Dominik Mack, the "Vulture of Wall Street," a man who specialized in hostile takeovers and stripping men like my father of everything they owned. I walked straight up to the most dangerous man in New York and offered him a business transaction. "Do you want to get married?" I asked. He looked at my trembling hands, then at the man chasing me, and adjusted his collar with clinical detachment. "Deal," he said. I didn't just find a groom; I found an accomplice. This wasn't a wedding anymore—it was a declaration of war.
