The nerves about my wedding tomorrow have kept me up all night. Finally, after five years of relationship, I can marry the love of my life. Franco and I met in high school, and now that we are about to finish our degrees, he proposed to be his wife. The emotion I feel at this moment, being so close to the big step, makes my heart leap out of my chest from so much beating.

My parents own one of the world's leading cosmetics companies, with branches all over the world and thousands of employees under their charge. My future in-laws own large frozen food companies, also with many branches, although perhaps not as much income as mine, but that was never a problem for me. I am 23 years old, about to graduate as an accountant, and unlike my sister, I hope to never belong to the family business. I want to have my own, earned with my own sweat.

My sister is two years younger than me, but she spends money like she's a millionaire. Well, in fact, our family is, but she hasn't earned a single cent of everything she spends. She couldn't even get into college without my father pulling strings. I don't understand why they keep supporting her, fulfilling her whims as if she were the only daughter. Don't misunderstand, I don't want them to fulfill anything of mine, I just want them to teach her to fend for herself, because if she continues like this, she won't even be able to maintain the family business.

I feel partly strange, despite being in a relationship with Franco for so long, we never had intimacy. I always asked him to wait until we got married, and now thinking that we will be together tomorrow night scares me a little. I need to get out of my room, I have to breathe fresh air, damn the hour I agreed to come sleep at the hotel where the wedding will take place. I should have stayed to sleep at my house, although it calms me to know that Franco is also in a room near me, maybe I could go see if he also has insomnia like me.

I leave my room and head to his, I was about to knock on the door, when moans from inside stopped me dead in my tracks. I opened it slowly, almost without making noise, and my breath stopped. I think in all the years of life I have left I will never be able to forget that. My sister and my fiance making love, the man I love with my life and my own blood, what kind of nightmare is this? Can people be so cruel? Did I deserve this betrayal? The questions pile up in my mind, while tears run down my face.

You're pieces of shit, you're both sons of bitches - I shouted at them, making them jump in their place. I could see that they were surprised that I was there.

Sister - Florencia said in a whisper.

Giselle, I'm sorry, truly forgive me - the stupid of my ex-fiance was telling me.

You have no forgiveness, neither of you do - I kept screaming and crying with rage.

You weren't able to satisfy him, you didn't even give yourself to him and you say we're shit, it's your fault he betrayed you, too puritanical for such a man - my sister's change of attitude surprised me, she always wanted what was mine, but to lower herself with a man.

I've been cheating on you with her for years, I'm only marrying you because you're the first in the line of management of your father's company - he confesses to me, making me feel so insignificant, he had never really loved me, it was all for money, how could I have been so stupid to believe him?

Well marry her, because I don't plan to go to the altar with you tomorrow - I tell him and I prepare to leave when suddenly my sister grabs my arm and turns me around to give me something to drink, the taste was so bitter that mixed with alcohol it only burned my throat, I spat out everything I could, but part of that liquid managed to go down my throat.

I could only push her, she fell to the floor and was quickly helped by my ex, who between screams tried to hit me, but I managed to stop him. I staggered out of that room as best I could, my eyes saw everything blurry, I couldn't even distinguish the room numbers, I tried to remember 217 in my mind so I wouldn't get lost.

The steps I was taking were so clumsy, I even tripped over my own feet, on several occasions I almost fell flat on my face, but I tried to grab onto the walls. I wasn't going to let anyone see me like this. I entered my room as best I could and closed the door behind me, I reached the bed and lay down to cry, everything hurt, I was very dizzy. I never noticed the presence that was next to me, nor that it wasn't my room. Everything went black in a moment and I let myself go, the mint breath near my nostrils, hands running over my body and a sharp pain in my intimate entrance, from my mouth came groans? I don't know what I was trying to say, but after a while I fell asleep.

I woke up when the sunlight hit me directly in the face, I felt a throbbing headache, everything was spinning. I sat up in bed trying to remember what had happened the night before, the images of Florencia with Franco in bed made me cry again, but that crying didn't last long when I remembered that something else had happened. I pulled back the sheets and understood when I saw those red stains, I was no longer a virgin. I paid attention to the room, it was obvious that it wasn't 217, where the hell had I gotten myself?

I heard the shower in the bathroom, I got up very quickly despite the pain I felt, I dressed quickly, left a note on the nightstand and left, I had to get back to my room quickly.

Where the hell were you? - my father's voice as soon as I crossed the door of that room made all the hairs on my body stand on end.

Da... dad - I turned to see him, my eyes were swollen from crying so much and to top it off the blouse was torn.

Your sister already told us that you had left with another man, but seeing you sneaking out of a room that isn't yours was the proof we were missing - he said to me with hatred - I was looking for you all over the hotel, your mother was worried -

Florencia told you that I left with another man, that bitch didn't tell you that last night she was in bed with Franco - zasss the slap he gave me made my heart hurt even more, my father had never hit me.

Do you dare to defame your sister, when I see you with my own eyes coming out with those appearances from another room? - he shouted at me angrily.

That same day, I left the mansion that had seen me grow up all my life. My father not only called off the wedding, citing my misdeeds, but also kicked me out of the family without any consideration.

My aunt was the only one who took me into her house, as she was well aware of the evil things my sister did and was obviously the only one who believed me.

5 Years Later.

Ignacio, please be careful and don't run - a beautiful young woman is walking along the sidewalk of the mall, holding the hand of a small boy of only 5 years old.

Mommy, I want us to go get our ice cream, please - he makes a puppy dog face, begging, after letting himself be bought all the clothes he needs, to take him for the promised prize.

I lived with my aunt for the last 5 years, I didn't hear anything more from my family, it wasn't difficult for them to cut ties with me and the truth is that after everything that happened I never bothered to know what fate had in store for them. I had found out that 3 years ago my sister got married to who was my fiance, it was known that this would happen, she always kept what was mine, but the truth was that I didn't care either. They could never have children, according to my aunt, my sister was infertile so she could never give the family heirs. And to top it off, her bad decisions had almost bankrupted the family business.

My father had contacted me after all that time, to ask me for help and get the business back on track, according to him his heart condition had advanced rapidly and he had had to retire from business a year after my banishment. But instead of leaving it to the management team that the company had, he preferred to leave it all in the hands of my useless sister.

As my aunt was also sick, it wouldn't hurt me to accept the deal my father had offered me, according to him if I managed to put everything back in its place, he would give me my corresponding shares, the ones that had been taken from me at the time and given to my sister. The truth is that returning to my hometown was not to my liking, but I knew that I could do the work they were asking me to do, and both Ignacio and my aunt were very happy to have that income, since until now I had relied on jobs that only allowed me to have food on the table, but almost nothing else.

We arrived yesterday to my beautiful city of Rosario, with the little savings I had left I was able to rent a simple house and enroll my son in a private kindergarten, that's why today we had to buy his clothes and things so that he could start tomorrow. My aunt, Jazmin, has a lung disease, she is dependent on her oxygen tank, so I am the only breadwinner of my family. Only for that reason I decided to return, if not I would have continued with my waitress job.

Once we finish shopping I go with my little one to the ice cream parlor that is a few blocks from my new house.

What flavor are you going to order, love? - I ask him while I see his beautiful blushed face.

Strawberry and chocolate mommy- he tells me with his little voice that disarms me.

Okay, a cone with strawberry and chocolate, please - I tell the guy who is serving.

Once Ignacio gets his prize, we head walking home, where surely my aunt already has everything ready for dinner.

On the other side.

From tomorrow Giselle will take over the management team of the company, I should never have left you in charge - Guillermo told his daughter.

Did the disease drive you crazy? Are you going to let that banished woman take over my company? - Florencia shouted angrily knowing that she would soon lose everything.

Daughter please, it will only be a while, your sister will only be a few months, right, honey? - said his wife.

Are you blind Ingrasia? Giselle will take over the company and if she returns it from the dead, where she is brainless I leave it, then I will give her all the shares she wants, while she leaves us a percentage to live on per month - said Guillermo.

Father-in-law, excuse me for interfering, but do you think she can? - said Franco weighing all the options.

My daughter has always been very skilled in the administration and accounting of the company, in fact thanks to her, I discovered several thefts that were being made within it, so I fully trust that she will know how to get it back on track - he said without noticing how Franco's eyes sparkled maliciously.

He had never loved Giselle, much less Florencia, but he was a man who needed to get rid of the desire to be with a woman, and it was the younger sister who gave him that pleasure. When he knew that Giselle would be kicked out of the house, he didn't bother to talk and ask for her. But when he knew that the youngest would be the new owner of everything, he desperately wanted to marry her, what he could never do was get an heir to finish tying her to him. And now that he knew that he would never have it and that in the end his ex-fiancee was the one who was coming back with everything, perhaps he should move his pieces to be with her again.

None of the four family members had known anything about her, they didn't even know about her son, they only knew that she lived with her aunt in Ushuaia and that tomorrow she would make an appearance in the company to put everything back in its place as it should have been.

Florencia, angry with her father's decision and seeing that she could do nothing, got up from her seat and glared at her progenitor.

She stopped being a Blass the day she cheated on this wonderful man and you ran her out into the street, don't expect her to help this family and she will surely end up sinking our family business. When that happens, don't forget my words of I WARNED YOU - she said leaving angrily towards her room.

Maybe she is right, Guillermo, what makes you believe that she will help us? - Ingrasia also told him, angry with her husband's decision.

Unlike Florencia, Giselle always knew how to keep her head on her shoulders and not in the clouds. I know she will do what this idiot can never do - he said getting up too and leaving his wife and son-in-law alone at the table.

Today is the day I return to the company. I understand that, being in such bad shape, it has several purchase offers. If you think about it, they would leave quite a bit of money in my family's pockets, but it suits me if it grows again as before, otherwise I won't be able to earn money for my needs and those of those in my charge.

Maria has been in charge of preparing breakfast for the three of us, she is my angel and I tell her every time I can, she saved me from being left on the street and on top of that she accepted not only me but also my baby.

Daughter, I hope today is a very productive day for you and that you can achieve what you set out to do- she tells me while we drink our coffees.

Don't worry aunt, you'll see that everything turns out spectacularly, I'm going to first probe how everything is and then I'll make several plans and adjustments so that it returns to being what it was and maybe, who knows, it will grow even more- I tell her confidently. During my years of exile I was able to graduate not only in administration, but also in accounting. My jobs allowed me to study during the rest intervals and I always ended up taking free exams, because I didn't get to go to all the classes. As in primary and secondary school, in college I only got 9s and 10s, graduating with the best averages. I also took English and German courses, to defend myself if I needed to, because in Ushuaia there were many people from other countries, although everyone spoke English even if they were Russian or Japanese.

If anyone bothers you, Mommy, you just have to tell me, I'll defend you- Ignacio tells me, as he finishes drinking his chocolate milk.

You don't have to worry about that, come on we must leave for kindergarten or you'll be late on your first day- I say getting up from my seat, I give my aunt a kiss and grab my purse - today I'll buy several things to fill the fridge and the pantry, don't go out aunt, I want you to take care of yourself-

I take my baby's hand and we leave, the day is beautiful and too warm for what we were used to at the end of the world. The kindergarten was also close to home and the company several blocks away, so I could walk the whole way.

I hope you do well on your first day my love, I'll come pick you up at 4.30 when I get off work- I told him after giving him a kiss on his cheek.

Ignacio, despite being so small and only 5 years old, is extremely intelligent, perhaps having always grown up among adults had given him a different maturity than that of other children his age. This sometimes causes him problems to relate, he usually gets bored quickly with children's games, and he loves to spend time playing Scrabble or any other that involves forming words.

I taught him to read and write, so that he wouldn't get bored when he had to accompany me to my work and every Thursday night we had movie night with him and my aunt, I brought sweets and they were already waiting for me with popcorn.

Don't let anyone intimidate you, Mommy- he tells me giving me a big smile. Then he turns around and enters the kindergarten.

I continue my way to the company, I see several workers arriving in luxury cars and dressed perfectly. I don't understand how, if the company is bankrupt, they can still afford those luxuries.

I enter the building without anyone stopping me, the security people are too busy with their cell phones to notice my presence. I approach the elevator and go up, touching the 20th floor, where I knew the president's office was, my new workplace.

When I get out I find a secretary as young as me.

Good morning, do you have an appointment?- she says looking me up and down.

I don't need it, I suppose you were already told that the new president would come today, right?- I tell her glaring at her, everyone in this place is inefficient for their jobs, that's why it was falling apart.

Mrs. Florencia has not arrived yet- she says wanting to intimidate me.

Nor is she going to come either, let me introduce myself, my name is Giselle Blass the new president of Cosmeticos Moon- I tell her and continue my way to the office, leaving her with her mouth and eyes wide open.

On my new desk I have the accounting books and all the projects that the company had to finish before the end of the year to save itself from bankruptcy. It is incredible that this company is falling, my grandfather forged it from below and my father always knew how to maintain it, but having passed into the hands of a woman who only cares about having all the latest fashions, the company ended up closing several branches in the world. Today it only had the headquarters, the one in France, the one in Spain and a medium-sized one in Greece.

I want a meeting with the investors and the main heads of each department, in the meeting room in three hours- I tell my secretary through the office phone, I imagine that her face must be a poem. Now I remember from where she seemed so familiar, she is a friend of my sister, one of the many silly women who bought everything they saw in the windows, I wonder how she became the president's secretary? And if there I understand the unnecessary expenses that had led the company to ruin. That girl doesn't even have an administration course done, the folders she left me are a disaster, the new make-up hasn't even come out on the market because they haven't even done the marketing or the necessary advertising to make them known. This is a disaster and I have three hours to read everything and give at least a short-term solution that will lead us to something big before this is worth nothing at the end of the year.

Well, let's start reading and coming up with simple plans to be able to properly structure a good administration of what little we have left.
