Episode 16

MIGUEL

Few things in this life impress me, but Marcele being a Bonanno, that impressed me a lot. She has no idea of the devotion the Underworld has for that surname.

I told her everything I knew, and for the first time, I saw her eyes sparkle when she talked about revenge.

I called my parents and Felipo to the office. My mother helped Marcele with her makeup.

BENICIO - Did something happen? Your mother said Marcele was quite nervous.

MIGUEL - Dad, Marcele is a Bonanno.

DANTE - Bonanno?

MIGUEL - Yes, she's the daughter of Joseph Mendez Bonanno. Marcele, do you know your paternal grandfather's name?

MARCELE - Marcellus Bonanno.

BENICIO - Now it all makes sense, the documents from the North being with her father. Marcellus ruled the Northern and Northwestern hemispheres for decades. The Northwest was conquered by Donatello.

DANTE - We stand before the last Bonanno. Marcele, the Northern hemisphere is yours. You have all our respect and loyalty.

MARCELE - Thank you. But I want and need the help of Miguel and all of you. I don't know what to do. I feel lost with so much information.

BEATRIZ - Would you accept a suggestion?

MARCELE - Of course.

BEATRIZ - Why don't you two travel? Preferably somewhere calm where you, my dear, can rest, put your thoughts in order, and Miguel can disconnect a little from this agitation too. You can both take the opportunity to rest and get to know each other better.

MIGUEL - Seriously? That's your suggestion?

MARCELE - I loved it, Mrs. Beatriz.

This old woman is trying to trick me. I don't want to travel, and I won't.

MIGUEL - I'm not traveling.

MARCELE - I will go, I need to.

BEATRIZ - Great! Miguel's security can accompany you. We have a farm, and it's very nice there this time of year. There's a river, a waterfall... You'll love it. Do you have a bathing suit?

MIGUEL - Bathing suit? What is this about?

BEATRIZ - A bikini. You don't want her to swim in the waterfall wearing pants and a blazer, do you?

MIGUEL - And why would she swim?

BEATRIZ - Because she's going to the farm!

MIGUEL - Are you trying to drive me crazy? We were talking about Marcele's surname, and you jumped to a trip, and now to a bathing suit, and now a farm.

DANTE - Son, your mother is right. You got married, you haven't had a moment alone. Go to the farm with your wife. Stay for one, two weeks. It's time for the investigation to flow, and when you return, we'll have enough information to act regarding Marcele's sister.

MARCELE - Please, let's go.

MIGUEL - Alright, we'll travel tomorrow.

She smiled at my mother, and I know Mrs. Beatriz well, and I know what she's up to. I'm not falling for this "resting trip." She's talking in code about a honeymoon, and Marcele didn't understand.

BEATRIZ - Wonderful, dear! You will love the farm. Afterward, Miguel can take you to our hotel in Cancun!

MIGUEL - One thing at a time, I haven't even arrived at the farm yet.

DANTE - Hahaha, alright, my love. Son, you know how romantic your mother is.

My mother completely changed the subject. We left the office and went to dinner; it was very late. No one complained; on the contrary, the flattery was present. Marcele sat next to me. My mother gave some instructions, and she followed them to the letter.

We were already all at the table when I decided to comment on my marriage. Everyone knew, but I had never formally spoken about it.

MIGUEL - Good evening, everyone. Once again, I want to thank you for your presence. The dinner was arranged on short notice. The reason for this celebration is my marriage to Marcele Bonanno, the heiress of the North Area and Queen of Drug Trafficking. Marcele, the only granddaughter of Marcellus Bonanno, now Mrs. Bonanno Martinez.

FARBES - Bonanno? You have all my loyalty, my Queen.

DONATELLO - Mine too, Queen.

Everyone stood up to pay their respects to her, who behaved like the queen she is.

At the end of dinner, everyone was curious to know more about her, the last Bonanno. They already started asking me about heirs; they will be the greatest with the powerful Bonanno Martinez surname.

I have to see if Marcele will want to change her documents and add Bonanno.

Suddenly, we heard screams. It was Durzely's voice. When we arrived in the other room, Marcele was holding an empty glass in her hand, and the other one was drenched in wine. Alicia and Bianca were laughing hysterically.

MIGUEL - What happened?

ALICIA - Durzely started provoking Marcele.

DURZELY - Look what you did to me, you crazy woman! This is a designer dress! You stained my whole dress, you ridiculous…

MIGUEL - I suggest you speak properly to your queen or have your tongue cut out.

MARCELE - It won't be your tongue, dear husband, if she dares to speak to me like that again. I will have her head cut off, do you hear me? I don't care if my husband has already used you in bed or not; let that stay in the past.

MIGUEL - Used? What?

ALICIA - Durzely talked about some intimacies you two had.

MIGUEL - I don't understand. Can you explain to me, Durzely, what intimacies were these besides you trying to grab me when you were drunk at your grandfather's party? You can tell me here, in front of my wife, what intimacy we had.

DURZELY - That day, I was drunk. Don't you remember if anything happened?

MIGUEL - Nothing happened between us. If you make up lies again using my name, the consequences will be the worst. And if you dare to raise your voice again to my wife, believe me, your family will bury you in a closed casket.

Donatello is her grandfather. He knows that respect is due to the Don and his family. He left dragging his granddaughter, who thought it was a good idea to provoke Marcele, and instead of punishing her, she threw wine at the other.

On this trip, I will teach Marcele to command her mind. When we return, we will begin focused, heavy, and precise training.
