Revenge And Love Against My Mafia Ex-Husband
Chapter 95

They entered the somewhat old house, still smelling of paint, which showed that it had been restored for them to stay in.

"This was a bad idea, I should have stayed in the castle, it was less terrifying" Ximena thought, walking across the floor that squeaked as if it was alive and that was its way of communicating. Why are we hiding in this place, it would have been better on a Caribbean island, not in this cold forest? -Ximena began to complain about the place.

-It's the best idea I could come up with, it will be very difficult for him to replace us in this place and even more difficult for him to come in and rescue you. Besides, I have some accounts to settle with that disgusting commander, if your husband doesn't finish him I will, I usually look for ways to win in various ways," Diego spoke without reflecting, he felt a lump in his throat, the impotence of being trampled and having to be grateful for it.

-It is outrageous that justice does not act against some men. We have to trust in divine justice, it's the best thing to do, those guys are very dangerous, it wasn't a good decision to have come here. -Ximena lifted one of her children to feed him. -It's good, we are located between mountains and I know this whole region like the back of my hand and I had already planned to come and stay in this house. My father cried when he remembered this farm that was taken from him by some thugs led by a lazy and disgruntled employee. He said that he taught this commander's father how to farm, how to manage cattle, how to read and write. He treated him like another son, and the beggar paid him back by organising an army of resentful people, he bought weapons with money he stole from him, and one night he arrived with his whole pack of rats, they proclaimed as judges and executioners that we were a military target. My father went out to complain to him, he almost killed him, only he pretended to be kind and grateful, he gave him five minutes for us to leave. According to him, he spent that time drinking a bottle of wine. We had to leave with the only possession of what we were wearing. We took it for granted that the bandit had burnt down the house, but one day we came to see if we could get the government to return the land to us, and I was met with two surprises, the first was that my home was still standing and that the justice in this place was the son of this commander. Also with the news that the bandit had died in a luxurious hotel on an island in the Caribbean. It seems that neither God nor man ever judged him. That's why I will be the one to execute the son. -Diego raised his fist and clenched it. He imagined himself breaking the necks of his enemies and his father looking down from the sky smiling at him.

-I hope you succeed, I wish you wouldn't mix us up. I don't want your thirst for revenge to affect my children. -Ximena decided that she would leave at the first opportunity, looked for her room, locked herself in, went to bed to sleep, but was left wandering in thoughts and memories.

A few days went by and Ximena was bored by the confinement of the place, although the doors did not close, in that mountain there was nowhere to go out. Outside that house there was only an inhospitable forest, to complete the freezing breeze, she had to stay inside to avoid a cold, she dedicated herself fully to her children, she began to teach them to walk holding them with a scarf.

Meanwhile, back in the city, her sister Emily devoted herself to studying and overseeing her businesses, doubled her security, felt safe under the shadow of several bodyguards, and one afternoon discovered that she was not much use to them. She was on her way in her toasted vans when a truck closed in front of them and as she wanted to back up a tank car drove through, preventing the rear escape. In the blink of an eye they were surrounded by dozens of men with anti-tank weapons.

It can't be possible! -Emily exclaimed as she watched Angelo stand in front of her vehicle with an envelope in his hand. He got out of the vehicle, holding up his hands to prevent anyone from starting a firefight.

Sister-in-law, I need to talk to you. -He walked towards her, handing her the envelope, "Here is proof that neither I nor my grandfather are innocent of the murder of your parents. The guilty ones are Max's family. -Angelo turned to leave. -You should have called me, there was no need to make such a fuss. -Emily wanted to stop him, she loved to look at him and smell his perfume.

-I called you many times, you didn't answer. Apparently you have bad manners, you left the wedding without saying goodbye, just like Mia's loss, who didn't let herself be found either," Angelo turned his head to answer her.

-I didn't know how you'd react, I assumed you'd be furious, if it wasn't for this show I'd say you were calm. -Emily felt like a spaceship being pulled into a black hole, similar to a scene from a science fiction movie.

-It's been very complicated. I had to take refuge in work and tons of liquor. -Angelo continued walking towards his vehicle.

-It would be nice if you invited me, to drink liquor, not to work, because I already have a lot of work, ha, ha, ha, ha. -Emily stood on her toes, and stretched her neck so he could hear her.

Maybe, how about if we go to Mia's disco tonight, we can chat as friends or ex-family? -Angelo turned and smiled at her, she loved that smile that even though he had a crooked tooth due to the blows of boxing, she felt captivated. -Of course, how about 7 o'clock at night? -Emily jumped for joy.

-All right, good time, I'd like to talk to someone I know and look at a pretty face at the same time. -Angelo started to flirt with her, it occurred to him that through Emily he could replace the whereabouts of his beloved Ximena and her children. -He was ready, although it's not unusual for us to go to that place, you know how gossipy Mia is and that she's my sister's best friend. -Emily didn't want to mention her sister, she was afraid that by naming her, her memory would overshadow her.

-She didn't want to mention her sister, she was afraid that by naming her, her memory of her would be overshadowed by her, or somewhere else, it doesn't matter and, anyway, I have nothing with Ximena, I will never forgive her for leaving me, it was devastating. - Angelo approached Emily and put his hands on her small waist.

But it would be strange if we were seen together, that would lend itself to a lot of rumours and multiple stories, I can already imagine a newspaper headline, "Ex-husband with ex-sister-in-law" or "Wife dumps him and sister-in-law gets him". -Emily plunged into a world where she would be with Angelo forever.

-I can tell you're a lot of fun, nothing like the perfect lady who runs away from where she is surrounded by luxury to get into a pigsty. -Angelo kissed her on the cheek and drove off in a black car.

The trucks cleared the road, leaving the way clear for them.

-Miss, with all the respect you deserve, it could be dangerous for you to go to that appointment and it could also bother your sister. -The head of security mentioned to her, bringing her out of her thoughts.

-Yes, I know that, my brain knows that, but my defective heart does not. -Emily let out the first of many sighs she would produce as the time came for her appointment.
