Chapter 4

Lilibeth

Despierto en una habitación que no reconozco, me duele mucho la cabeza y el rayo de luz que entra por la enorme ventana me lastima demasiado y no logro enfocar bien. Dirijo mi vista de un lado a otro y no puedo recordar cómo llegué hasta aquí, solo recuerdo que salí corriendo, dejando atrás a todos esos hombres cuando alguien cubrió mi rostro con un paño húmedo y de ahí ya no recuerdo más.

Me levanto rápido y me dirijo a la puerta, la cual está abierta. Salgo, pero no encuentro a nadie. Esto me provoca miedo, ¿quién puede secuestrar a alguien para luego dejarlo deambular por ahí?

Bajo las escaleras y veo frente a mí una puerta enorme de madera, salgo corriendo y me paro en seco cuando veo en el jardín como veinte hombres todos armados, pero como no me detienen trato de correr hacia la salida principal cuando escucho que gritan mi nombre en un acento raro, me giro rápidamente y veo al mismo hombre de ayer.

—Lili…beth.

—Lo siento, pero debo irme; mis padres deben de estar muy preocupados —miento esperando que no se dé cuenta de cómo me falla la voz—. Espero que el bebé esté bien. —No espero a que diga algo más y sigo mi camino corriendo. Cuando consigo llegar a la reja, suelto un suspiro de alivio. Lo bueno es que nadie me persigue, por lo que decido girar a la derecha y corro aún más rápido.

No he corrido ni cuatro metros cuando frente a mi sale este hombre rodeado de todos sus hombres apuntándome con sus armas. Volteo y veo que me han cerrado el otro lado, igual con una cantidad infinita de hombres que me sería imposible escapar de ellos, sin darme cuenta lo tengo frente a mí y me carga sobre su hombro como si fuese un costal de papas y mis cincuenta y cinco kilos no fuesen nada para él.

—¡Bájame maldito infeliz! ¿Quién te crees que eres? —pataleo tan fuerte como puedo y golpeo su musculosa espalda con mis pequeños puños; volvemos a entrar a su propiedad y escucho cómo cierran esa reja que me separa de mi libertad.

»¡Eres un canalla! ¿Cómo te atreves a secuestrarme?, ¡Te exijo que me bajes! —grito y le doy un golpe a la altura de sus riñones; siento cómo se le escapa el aire y enseguida siento cómo me da un fuerte golpe en el trasero, haciendo que me arda de dolor.

—Dice mi jefe que deje de golpearlo o cada golpe que usted le dé, él se lo regresará como hace un momento —responde uno de sus hombres y creo suponer que se trata del mismo que hacía de intérprete el día anterior.

—A mí nadie me amenaza. —Y vuelvo a arremeter con mis golpes a lo que él, enseguida, me da otros dos golpes en mi trasero haciendo que se me salga una pequeña lágrima de dolor, pero sobre todo de coraje. Cuando dejo de golpearlo, entramos a la habitación que abandoné hace un momento y me avienta sobre la cama. Rápidamente me alejo de él y me pego a la pared mientras que él me ignora y sale de la habitación, no sin antes lanzarme una mirada gélida y cerrar la puerta con llave.

Me acerco y trato de abrir la puerta sin éxito. Comienzo por gritar, pero nadie me abre. Las lágrimas amenazan con volver a salir y duro tanto tiempo llorando que no me doy cuenta y caigo rendida por el cansancio.

Cuando despierto estoy sobre la cama y ya es bastante tarde, pero lo que en verdad me despertó fueron unas manitas tocando mi cara y cuando veo al dueño de ese cuerpecito, me doy cuenta de que es el bebé de ayer. Él me sonríe y eso hace que mi corazón se alegre un poco al verlo mejor que ayer, mientras lo abrazo le doy unos besos en su carita lo cual lo hace reír aún más fuerte y pegarse más a mí.

For three years, I was the perfect Mafia wife. I ensured my husband Jared's suits were impeccable and his public image flawless. I even sat at tables with Russian killers and calmly translated the order to execute a man who betrayed our Family. My value was my composure and my loyalty. The moment an internal memo praised Jared for his 'heroism' during the Mayland Warehouse Massacre, I knew our marriage was over. Because I was the one he'd left to die. The memo was a masterpiece of fiction, claiming he made a split-second decision to protect the Family's "most valuable asset." That asset wasn't me, his wife, who was calmly negotiating with cartel members for our lives. It was Bianca, his fragile mistress, who was crying on the phone in a sector he was ordered to stay out of. When I packed my bags and left, he had the audacity to call me hysterical. "You're my wife," he scoffed. "Was I your wife at Mayland, Jared?" I asked. "Did you think of your wife for even a second while you were running to save your weak little woman?" He was a coward who had ignored a direct order from a Don, and the Family was calling him a hero for it. But I had the proof: a thirty-second recording of his profound dishonor. I wasn't just seeking an annulment. I was petitioning the Commission, and I was going to use that recording to burn his world to the ground.

My husband crushed the metacarpals of my left hand—my drawing hand—with a heavy leather-bound book. This was Punishment Ninety-Six. The offense? I had missed a single phone call from my stepsister, Joyce. According to Don Austen Ballard, ignoring the woman who allegedly saved his life fifteen years ago was akin to high treason. "Discipline is the highest form of love, Alana," he whispered, watching the violet bruise spread across my skin. He calls shattering an architect's hand "love." He believes Joyce dragged him from a burning building when he was a boy. He treats her like a living saint and me like a punching bag to pay his life debt. But it is all a lie. Fifteen years ago, Joyce was at a cheerleading camp three towns away. I was the one in that crawlspace. I was the one who found the bleeding boy in the dark. I was the one who called him "Stellen" because he was too terrified to tell me his real name. He has spent our entire marriage torturing his true savior to please a fraud. Tonight, the pain finally burned away my fear, leaving only cold resolve. I didn't cry. I waited until the house was silent, then I retrieved a burner phone hidden in a false bottom of a box in the bathroom. I dialed the number of his sworn enemy, Don Dalton Underwood. "I have the blueprints," I said, my voice steady despite the agony in my hand. "And I have the controlling shares of Ballard Industries. I'm ready to burn his kingdom to ash."
