Chapter 1

No me importa lo que digas, ¡no hay ninguna posibilidad de que me case con él! Mi voz temblaba de rabia mientras enfrentaba a mi padre por primera vez en mi vida. Mentiría si dijera que mis rodillas no temblaban bajo mi falsa valentía.

—Cálmate —me dijo Kyle, mi padre. La ira no era más que un mosquito molesto que podía aplastar. No tienes opción.

Mis hermanos merodeaban por el borde de la habitación, todos buscando maneras de evitar mis ojos. ¿Ninguno de ustedes va a defenderme? ¿Harry? ¿Marcos? ¿Ni siquiera tú, Chase?

El miedo sacudió mi pecho mientras continuaban ignorando mis súplicas de ayuda. Mierda, mi padre debería haberles informado mucho antes de darme la noticia.

Mató a mamá. Sus hombres mataron a Kyle Jr. ¿Cómo esperas que me convierta en su esposa? Es una maldita locura. Mac se estremeció, pero ninguno vino en mi ayuda. ¡Es una locura!

—No quiero perder más hijos por sus balas. Siempre has sabido que te casarías por el bien de la familia —papá se pasó una mano por la barbilla y lucía tan podrido como yo. Él tampoco quería esto.

—Pensé que te referías a un mafioso rico de mi edad. William es mayor que tú. ¿Me perderías para salvarlos a ellos? —Dolería. El dolor apretaba mi estómago y hacía que mis intestinos se retorcieran como un nido de serpientes.

—Estoy tratando de salvarlos a todos, ¿preferirías que fuera Mery?

Las lágrimas llenaron mis ojos mientras miraba a mi padre. Qué maldita pregunta, ¿yo o mi hermanita? No quería que ninguna de las dos terminara bajo ese bastardo enfermo. No.

No tengo opción. Necesitamos sus restricciones. Hemos luchado lo suficiente y alguien necesita enterrar el hacha para detener los asesinatos —mi padre suspiró mientras se apoyaba pesadamente en su escritorio de caoba ornamentado.

¿Por qué tiene que ser yo? Nunca había encajado en el molde de princesa de la mafia. Claro, me gustaban los lujos de nuestra riqueza, la piscina cubierta, las vacaciones, poder tener lo que quisiera, pero la presión del estilo de vida nunca me había atraído. No sabía si otros sentían lo mismo o simplemente lo ignoraban, pero yo lo odiaba. Si no fuera por mi familia, habría empezado de cero en algún lugar a un millón de millas de distancia de la sombría y vieja Glasgow y nuestro estilo de vida lleno de crímenes. Para mí, vivíamos en una jaula dorada sobre un montón de estiércol humeante. ¿Qué hay del amor? ¿La libertad? ¿La felicidad? No iba a tener nada de eso y cambiaría cada centavo, cada vestido de diseñador e incluso nuestra mansión familiar por ser feliz. A nadie le importaba.

—Eres mi hija mayor y eres la que él ama —la voz de papá se quebró en su garganta, el odio de décadas aún estaba allí a pesar del supuesto acuerdo.

¿Qué pasa si digo que no?

No tienes opción.

—No puedes obligarme a firmar un certificado de matrimonio o a decir los votos.

—Estoy seguro de que eso no será un problema para William. Conoce a suficientes personas en el sistema para que aprueben lo que quiera. No es todo malo, Amelia. Con la boda vendrá una nueva era de paz entre nosotros y los Harrisons. Y serás la esposa del hombre más poderoso de Escocia. Piensa en las oportunidades que se abrirán para ti. No te faltará nada.

—Si sobrevivo tanto tiempo. Sabes lo que le pasó a su esposa, sin mencionar la cadena de mujeres que ha abusado a lo largo de los años. No puedes pintar esto como un cuento de hadas para suavizar tu culpa. Me hará daño, me violará, podría matarme, ¿y luego qué, será Mery la siguiente?

Papá se estremeció ante mis palabras mientras mis hermanos se movían incómodos. Nadie lo negó, porque todos sabíamos que era la verdad. Había golpeado a su esposa tan brutalmente y la había destrozado mentalmente durante años. Ella había huido y dejado a sus dos hijos con él. Ahora eran mayores, de una edad similar a la nuestra, pero habían pasado la última década sin ella. Los había amado con toda su alma, pero ni siquiera eso fue suficiente para mantenerla alejada de la ira de William.

Y yo sería la siguiente.

Papá reunió valor, se enderezó y me miró con furia. Solía enojarse cuando no tenía una buena respuesta.

—El trato está hecho, Amelia. Te casarás con él y punto.

Y así, se fue de la habitación envuelto en una tormenta de ira mientras yo me desplomaba en uno de los sofás verde oscuro. Las lágrimas fluían en torrentes mientras la esperanza se desvanecía a mi alrededor. Toda mi vida estaba arruinada. Destruida antes de que hubiera hecho algo. Veintiocho años y nunca había amado a nadie, nunca había tenido un trabajo, nunca había salido sola sin que alguien me siguiera para protegerme. Un pajarito pasando de una jaula a otra mucho más terrible.

Harry se deslizó a mi lado y me abrazó mientras Chase y Marcos se unían a nosotros. Sostenían pañuelos en una mano y un vaso de agua en la otra.

—¿Por qué no me ayudaron? —acusé, mi visión se nublaba bajo el mar de lágrimas.

—Lo intentamos, Amelia. Hemos estado intentándolo durante días. No cede —Harry me secó una lágrima y se apartó para mirarme a los ojos.

El cuerpo entero de Chase vibraba de rabia, siempre el hermano impulsivo.

—Debería encontrarlo y ponerle una bala en la cabeza.

—Deberías —dije.

—No. No puedes —Harry se había vuelto mucho más serio desde que nuestro hermano mayor cayó en un tiroteo y tuvo que asumir el mando del Sindicato Kensington. La responsabilidad pesaba mucho sobre él, teniendo que asumir un papel que nunca fue destinado para él.

—Solo resultaría en tu muerte o en una guerra aún mayor entre nosotros. Las cosas están demasiado inestables. No me gusta, pero tenemos que intentar hacer la paz antes de que todas las organizaciones criminales de Escocia implosionen. Esto es solo la punta de la torre de cartas. Debajo hay una serie de tratos y acuerdos que limitan el derramamiento de sangre. Si vamos con fuerza, todo se derrumbará.

—¿Por qué yo?

—William siempre amó a mamá, pero ella eligió a papá. Te pareces demasiado a mamá a tu edad, y él es un bastardo enfermo. De esta manera castiga a papá de una forma que le dolerá más.

—Creo que me dolerá más a mí.

Me recosté en la cama, las pesadas cortinas bloqueaban la luz que me molestaba desde afuera. Gimiendo, me cubrí con el edredón y volví a esconderme. No había lugar en mi mundo para la luz en ese momento. A medida que pasaban los minutos, el aire bajo el edredón se volvía caliente y sofocante, pero seguía enterrada. Tal vez podría asfixiarme. Al menos no tendría que casarme con William.

La puerta se abrió y cerró con un clic, pero permanecí impasible, ignorándolo por completo. Un peso a mi lado hizo que la cama se moviera antes de que unos dedos ligeros encontraran mi cabello y lo acariciaran suavemente.

—No puedes quedarte aquí para siempre —dijo Mery, amortiguada por el edredón.

—Sí puedo.

—Tu habitación apesta. Es asqueroso.

—¿Cuál es el punto? —dije cuando ella apartó las mantas lo suficiente para que pudiera ver su rostro, su expresión suave mientras apartaba mi cabello grasiento de mis ojos.

—No puedes dejar que ganen. Vamos, nunca te he visto así. Todos están preocupados por ti. Han pasado días, Amelia.

—Bien. Deberían estar preocupados. No hay manera de que me case con él.

Mery se acostó a mi lado y deslizó su brazo alrededor de mi cintura, abrazándome cerca, asumiendo el papel de hermana mayor en lugar de la chica de la familia.

—Ojalá pudiera ayudarte —susurró contra el edredón.

—Lo sé, ¿qué puedo hacer?

—¿Podrías huir?
