Revenge And Love Against My Mafia Ex-Husband
Epilogue

-Okay, Angelo, I'll tell you. -Emily cleared her throat, her voice almost unable to come out because those strong hands were choking her. -I made a mistake in proposing that question to you.

-Please forgive me, I didn't want to go to these extremes, it's just that I'm very worried. -Angelo whispered, letting go of her neck, -I know she's in danger, besides, I'm having the same symptoms as when she was pregnant with my twins, I hope it's just my psychosis. -Angelo, I understand you, hold on, I'll calm down, or I'll end up in an ambulance. -Emily exhaled speaking fast, took a deep breath, mentally repeating the mantras that helped her calm down and continued, "Please don't tell her that I was the gossip rat. -You can tell her that I made you, though you'll have to come with me, we must plan a way to rescue her. -Angelo picked up the burger again to eat it.

-The first thing I'm going to do when Ximena comes back is to come and buy her a hamburger, I remember when Ximena found me after we were separated because we were adopted by different families, she took me to eat one of those hamburgers that you see on television. It was one of our dreams at the orphanage, it wasn't very good, but that didn't ruin the magical moment, it just seemed so unattainable to be in a place like that, I remember that I kept the packaging and napkins of that meal for years. -Emily, I understand you, for me the most delicious meal was a bread that I stuffed with sausage, it was the first thing I made when my grandfather threw me out of the house when Ximena divorced me for not complying with the arranged marriage, he froze my accounts, I remember that I had to steal that delicacy.

-Angelo, I'd love to know more about your life, but I don't think we should generate more trust," Emily rubbed her neck that still looked battered, the red marks on that smooth white skin could be seen in the distance. It's better if we stay far away, it seems you'll always be my brother-in-law.

-I'm sorry, but it's always going to be that way, there's no other way, although I do need you to accompany me, I suspect that place must be very dangerous. -Angelo looked around, avoiding looking at her.

-I don't believe you that my boyfriend's father is a dangerous criminal, that must be a trick to get information out of me," Emily took a piece of paper out of her bag and wrote some coordinates on it. This is the place, go and look for her, please don't hurt my father- in-law, although it would be better if I set them up a date.

-That can't be, if you do that, you could jeopardise my mission by alerting him," Angelo continued, biting into his hamburger, while typing on his phone.

-I can't think of anything. That place where they are, it seems far away from everything. Besides, it's in the middle of the mountains. Emily considered leaving, but felt that her brother-in-law's presence was shackling her.

-Yes, you're right, I sent the coordinates to my man of trust and he told me that the place is a natural fortress because it's surrounded by mountains and rivers. In addition, it rains almost all year round, which complicates air operations. -Angelo commented, looking at his mobile phone, "Also that the area is controlled by a dangerous criminal, no wonder it was your boyfriend's father.

-Angelo, don't be so bold," Emily got up from her seat, slamming it on the table, "My boyfriend is a very honest policeman.

-That's where you're wrong, mainly because he's not a cop anymore, he was fired because he's under investigation. -Angelo, I'm finishing the burger.

-In short, you're a liar, I'd better go, I don't want you to come looking for me again. -Emily got up to leave.

Wait, look at this. -Angelo stopped her by grabbing her forearm and showed her a news item on the mobile screen, it said that her boyfriend was involved in a corruption ring.

It can't be! He's the most righteous person I know," Emily felt the sky spinning, the hamburger tried to come back to her. -It must be a lie of yours, an entrapment.

Oh, beautiful sister-in-law, I'm sorry, apparently you were another one of the ones he cheated on, because I investigated him and he has a wife with three children, and that's not all, he also has two other girlfriends and a boyfriend, I investigated him very well. - Angelo showed her photos that backed up his accusations.

No, that's a lie, it's false," Emily couldn't hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes, the whimpering in her mouth and the twisting of her heart.

-Calm down, that man is not worth it, he is a wretch, you are too much woman for that dog. -Angelo hugged her, holding her close to his chest. -I'll prove it to you.

Angelo continued hugging her with one hand, with the other he dialed a number, where a voice she recognized answered, that of her policeman boyfriend. -Hello, who is this?

-You're talking to Angelo Ross, I'm informing you that I have Emily, your girlfriend, under my power, I'm holding her, I'll release her in exchange for you telling me where Ximena is, that's all. -Angelo covered Emily's mouth so she wouldn't say anything.

-I don't care about that, the only thing I would give you the location of his wife for, would be for several suitcases of money, otherwise I have plenty of women.

Then I'll kill her, I'll give you twenty-four hours. -Angelo wanted to put pressure on him.

-Go ahead, I assure you that I won't need that spoiled brat for anything, the only thing is that she's pretty and has a beautiful body, but she's lousy in bed, you'd better get your savings together and call me back.

The policeman hung up and Angelo continued hugging Emily, who was crying uncontrollably.

-Please calm down, she's a piece of shit, you realised how she's capable of betraying her father for money, he's a scumbag, but her father is worse. I'm really afraid for Ximena. -Angelo kissed her forehead. -And you should be strong too, for Ximena, control yourself, empower yourself, you can't depend forever on a man or your sister, you can't live between hospitals either, you can make the best of yourself.

Emily pulled back from Angelo's chest, wiped her tears, absorbed the snot that made it difficult for her to speak, and removed the excess with her left wrist, and between sobs she commented: "You're right, I must be strong, for Ximena and above all for me, I can't depend on something all my life and wait for people to pity me, I must be a heroine, even if my superpower is that my heart stops and I always choose the wrong man.

-No little Emily, you don't choose the wrong men, what happens is that you attract them, apparently you fall in love with something forbidden. -Angelo tried to hug her again. -But you are worth a lot. You must improve your self-esteem so that you attract the right men and always consider if you would be happy with that man or if you are on a whim. I don't know why women fall in love with bad boys, it must be some prehistoric conditioning, where the female had to stick to a male who was feared by all, who could defend her. But now we are in the twenty-first century, now women work side by side with men and in many activities they surpass them.

-Angelo, it's better that you save yourself that talk and let's go to your barracks to plan my sister's rescue. -Emily hugged him and leaned in to try to kiss his mouth.
