Introduction

سحبني أمامه، وشعرت وكأنني أواجه الشيطان نفسه. اقترب مني حتى أصبحت وجهه قريبًا جدًا من وجهي، لدرجة أنه إذا تحركت، سنصطدم برؤوسنا. ابتلعت ريقي وأنا أنظر إليه بعينين واسعتين، خائفة مما قد يفعله.

"سنتحدث معًا قريبًا، حسنًا؟" لم أستطع التحدث، فقط حدقت فيه بعينين واسعتين بينما كان قلبي ينبض بجنون. كل ما يمكنني الأمل فيه هو أنه لم يكن يسعى ورائي.

ألتايا تلتقي بزعيم المافيا الخطير، داميانو، الذي ينجذب إلى عينيها الخضراوين البريئتين ولا يستطيع إخراجها من عقله. كانت ألتايا مخفية بعيدًا عن هذا الشيطان الخطير. ومع ذلك، القدر جلبه إليها. هذه المرة، لن يسمح لها بالرحيل مرة أخرى.

Chapter 1

ألثايا

كنت أقف في غرفة الفندق وأنا أستعد لحفلة خطوبة ابن عمي. لطالما كنت مقربة من كارا لأننا نشأنا معًا في نفس المنزل حيث كان والدانا يديران عملاً معًا. باختصار، اكتشفت أن والدي وعمي كانا يديران مافيا، وبما أنهما كانا دائمًا مشغولين بما كانا يفعلانه، قضت كارا معظم الوقت معي ومع والدتي. للأسف، توفيت والدة كارا عندما كنا أطفالًا، فربتها والدتي كأنها ابنتها. بخلاف ذلك، كنا عائلة سعيدة.

أو هكذا كنت أعتقد.

هناك أشياء لا تلاحظها عندما تكون طفلاً لأنك مشغول بكونك طفلاً، أليس كذلك؟ كان والدي، غايتانو، دائمًا رجلًا مشغولًا، لكنه كان يتذكر قضاء بعض الوقت معي من حين لآخر، ليس بالقدر الذي كنت أتمناه، لكنه كان أفضل من لا شيء.

في يوم من الأيام، كنا كارا وأنا نتطفل كعادتنا وحاولنا التنصت على والديّ لأننا سمعنا أنهما يتشاجران. تسللنا إلى أسفل الدرج لنحصل على رؤية أفضل ونستمع إلى ما يجري، لكننا لم نتمكن من سماع شيء.

ما حدث بعد ذلك صدمنا كلاهما.

صفعت والدتي، جاسينتا، والدي تلك الليلة بقوة. وقفنا مذهولين مما حدث قبل أن نركض عائدين إلى غرفتنا المشتركة ونتظاهر بالنوم حتى لا يتم القبض علينا.

في اليوم التالي، كانت والدتي قد حزمت حقائبنا وغادرنا. أتذكر أنني بكيت بشدة في ذلك اليوم لأن كارا لم تأتِ معنا، حاولت والدتي أن تأخذها معنا، لكن عمي رفض السماح لها بالذهاب. كان من المؤلم لوالدتي ترك كارا خلفها بهذه الطريقة، وكنت متأكدًا أن لديها أسبابها للمغادرة، لكن السبب ما زال مجهولًا. لم نبقَ على تواصل مع والدي بعد ذلك، رغم أنني حاولت الاتصال به لأنني كنت أفتقده، لكنه لم يتصل بي مرة واحدة.

انتقلنا بعيدًا عن منزلنا القديم، وكنت ألتقي بكارا كلما أمكن، لكن الأمر أصبح أكثر صعوبة بالنسبة لها لمغادرة المنزل كلما كبرت لأن والدها أصبح صارمًا جدًا. أصبح والدًا جحيمًا. كان دائمًا مخمورًا بالكحول والمخدرات، مزيجًا خطيرًا جعله مجنونًا ويضرب كارا كلما كان في تلك الحالة.

لذا، كان من الطبيعي أن أشعر بالتوتر لكوني حولهم جميعًا لأول مرة منذ زمن طويل. لم أكن أعرف ماذا أتوقع وكنت أفكر باستمرار فيما إذا كان والدي سيكون سعيدًا برؤيتي بعد كل هذا الوقت.

"...لا تتقيئي." قلت لنفسي وأنا أتنفس بعمق حيث شعرت بالغثيان، خاصة الآن بعد أن كنت مستعدة تمامًا.

قررت ارتداء فستان حريري أسود طويل بدون ظهر بحمالات رفيعة، وكان الجزء الأمامي منه على شكل حرف V عميق يظهر جزءًا كبيرًا من صدري. كان الفستان ضيقًا من الأعلى ويتسع قليلاً من الوركين حيث كان هناك شق طويل على الجانب الأيمن يتوقف عند منتصف الفخذ. أكملت المظهر بزوج من الكعب العالي الأسود المفتوح بأشرطة حول الكاحل.

ألقيت نظرة أخيرة على المرآة، وكنت راضية عن العمل الذي قمت به. كان شعري البني الطويل والمموج يصل إلى نهاية ظهري، وعلى الجانب الأيمن وضعت مشبكًا على شكل ورقة مرصعة بالأحجار لرفع بعض الشعر بعيدًا عن وجهي. قمت بعمل مكياج بسيط بظلال دخانية بنية اللون التي تكمل عيني الخضراوين جيدًا وتجعلها تبدو أكثر شبهاً بعيون القطط.

"لنذهب." تنهدت لنفسي عندما انتهيت وتوجهت إلى الردهة.

تأكدت كارا من إرسال سيارة إلى فندقي لترافقني إلى القصر. منزلي القديم. بدأ قلبي ينبض بسرعة أكبر عند التفكير في العودة إلى هناك بعد كل هذه السنوات، ولرؤية ما إذا كان قد تغير كثيرًا. تزوج والدي بامرأة جديدة بعد فترة قصيرة من مغادرتنا، ولديه حتى ابن. ليس بيولوجيًا لأنه من زواج زوجته السابق، لكنه يعامله كابنه. سأكون كاذبًا إذا قلت أن ذلك لم يزعجني بشدة لأنه يعامل شخصًا آخر كابنه أكثر مما يعاملني.

كارا كشفت لي كل شيء على الفور وقالت إن والدي قد تزوج بامرأة أقل شأنًا. وقالت سأرى ما تعنيه عندما أصل هناك، وكنت مستعدًا لإلقاء نظرة ازدراء على من انتهى به الأمر بالزواج من والدي.

في المصعد في طريقي إلى البهو، شعرت بالتوتر أكثر وبدأت يداي بالتلاعب بالصندوق الصغير الذي كان معي. شعرت وكأن معدتي مليئة بالعقد، مما سبب لي ألمًا في المعدة.

"تماسكي، ألثايا. ما هو أسوأ ما يمكن أن يحدث؟ إنه مجرد عائلة." تنفست بعمق محاولًا تهدئة أعصابي.

عندما وصلت إلى البهو، فتحت أبواب المصعد، وأخذت نفسًا عميقًا أخيرًا، وأنا أحمل الهدية الصغيرة. لم تكن شيئًا كبيرًا، فقط كأسين شامبانيا مكتوب عليهما "السيد الصحيح" مع شارب، و"السيدة دائمًا على حق" مع شفاه حمراء. جعلني ذلك أفكر فورًا في كارا لأنها تعتقد دائمًا أنها على حق. حتى في المواقف التي لم تكن كذلك، كانت تعتقد ذلك بنفسها. إنها مغرورة قليلاً أحيانًا.

عندما اقتربت من وسط البهو، توقفت في منتصف الطريق عندما رأيت الرجل الأشقر الطويل في بدلة رمادية تناسب جسده تمامًا.

"مايكل؟!" قلت بصدمة. استدار وابتسم لي عندما رآني.

"ألثايا. مضى وقت طويل، لم نلتقِ." قال بابتسامة مثالية، مظهراً أسنانه البيضاء تمامًا. لقد مضى وقت طويل منذ آخر مرة رأيته فيها، أول حب لي على الإطلاق. يا إلهي، الآن أتذكر لماذا كنت مهووسة به. كان لديه أجمل عيون زرقاء رأيتها في حياتي، وفك حاد، ووجه حليق تمامًا. شعره الأشقر الداكن مصفف بشكل مثالي، مما يعطي مظهر "لم أحاول حتى"، مما جعله أكثر جاذبية بمئة مرة.

في الواقع كنا نتواعد عندما كنا أصغر. لكنه لم يكن يعلم.

كنت فقط أنظر إليه، وفمي مفتوح قليلاً لأنني لم أصدق عيني.

"يا إلهي، ألثايا، فقط خذي صورة إذا كنت ستظلين تحدقين بي هكذا." ضحك، وشعرت فورًا بحرارة تغمر وجنتي. يا إلهي، لا يزال له هذا التأثير علي.

"لا تفرح بنفسك كثيرًا، مايكل. كنت فقط متفاجئة لرؤيتك هنا." ضحكت، آملة ألا يلاحظ احمرار وجنتي.

"نعم، حسنًا، سمعت كارا تقول أنك قادمة، وأنها سترسل شخصًا ليأخذك. لم أستطع تصديق أن ألثايا ستأتي، لذلك قلت سأأتي لأخذك بنفسي." ابتسم ووضع يديه في جيوب بنطاله. عينيه ببطء مسحت من عيني إلى جسدي، ثم عادت لتلتقي بعيني، مما أعطاني ابتسامة كسولة في العملية.

"لا أستطيع أن أقول إنني نادم على القرار. تبدين رائعة كما كنت دائمًا، ألثايا." عيونه الزرقاء الجميلة أصبحت أغمق درجة وهو يتأملني. قلبي بدأ ينبض بسرعة أكبر بالطريقة التي كان ينظر بها إلي.

"وأنت تبدو وسيمًا كما كنت دائمًا، مايكل." قلت بابتسامة وهو يقترب مني ببطء بابتسامة مغرية على وجهه.

يا إلهي، ستكون ليلة طويلة.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
