Married First, Love Later with The CEO Who Secretly Loves Me

Episode 6

💭Author Narrating💭

Aurora and Ingrid went outside the house, waiting for the driver to leave, but before they could get into the car, Eduardo appeared, calling Aurora.

Eduardo: Aurora, please wait, I need to finish talking to you. I can't let you leave like this.

Aurora: I have nothing more to listen to. I already live in hell and I don't want to go to another one...

Eduardo: Please, Aurora, let's talk privately. After you hear everything, I'll let you go.

Eduardo had a desperate look on his face. There was something there that Aurora didn't understand. Why so much mystery?

Aurora: Fine, but no interruptions this time. Eduardo may be my brother, but if I look at him today, I'll break his face.

Eduardo: Yes, it will only be the two of us this time...

Aurora took a deep breath and followed her father back to the office. But as soon as they entered, Eduardo asked everyone to leave so they could talk alone, but Bernardo stayed in the room.

Aurora: Why is he staying?

Bernardo always looked at Aurora as if she were his own personal diamond that he didn't have yet. It made her even more nervous around him, and she didn't deny that he intrigued her.

Eduardo: Don't worry, Aurora. He's leaving, right Bernardo? I need to talk to her alone.

Bernardo: Okay, Eduardo. If you don't fulfill the contract, you know what will happen. I'll be waiting for the answer tonight... so don't take too long.

Bernardo left the office with a cold and arrogant expression. Aurora heard it without understanding, but she didn't care at that moment and began to talk to Eduardo.

Aurora: So, without further ado, without anyone interrupting, tell me. I'm all ears...

Eduardo: Aurora... as I told you, I was forced to leave your mother. Since I was young, I didn't want to have that kind of responsibility, but I regretted it, and I had always been keeping an eye on you. I didn't know exactly when I would come to you, but I had a problem, and unfortunately, I'm here for you in this way.

Aurora: What way? Explain it now. Stop repeating the same thing that I already understood you regretted it.

Eduardo: I'm sorry, daughter. I'm truly sorry.

💭Aurora narrating💭

Out of nowhere, Eduardo started crying and asking for forgiveness. In that moment, for a few minutes, my anger disappeared. Is he telling the truth that he regrets leaving me?

Aurora: Look, Eduardo, when I was younger, I cried a lot because I didn't understand what was happening in my life... - I took a deep breath - I was always excluded, even by my own relatives. I only had my grandparents to take care of me, and I didn't understand why I couldn't have my father. And now you're telling me these things, and I don't understand why you were forced to leave my mother.

Eduardo: Daughter, I'm sorry for all the suffering I indirectly caused you. Your late grandfather didn't want me involved with any woman unless it was business-related. That's why, after a few years, he forced me to get married, and I had your sisters.

Aurora: I can't believe that exists, being forced to do something you didn't want. Didn't you even fight for what you wanted?

Eduardo: In the world I live in, business always comes before personal decisions. But I insisted that I would take care of you from a distance and sent money all these years.

Aurora: Hahah, don't make me laugh. What money?

He really sounded like a crazy liar.

Eduardo: I'm serious, Aurora. You didn't receive that money?

Aurora: Not at all. All that reached me were words that you didn't want me.

Eduardo came closer to me with a sad look. He seemed to be telling the truth about all of this.

Eduardo: I'm sorry, daughter. - He held my hand - Please, believe me. Everything I say is true. You can ask your grandparents...

Aurora: I will investigate this, and then I'll tell you if I believe you.

I took my hand away from his and stepped back, but I still had a lingering doubt that I couldn't ignore.

Aurora: But I still have one question before I leave.

Eduardo: Go ahead, daughter.

He said, sitting in the chair behind the office desk.

Aurora: you said that I'm here to help you, that there's been a problem and this Bernardo who's always around wanting answers, what do I have to do with that?

Eduardo lowered his head and began to take deep breaths as if he were choosing the right words to tell me at that moment, what I didn't know was that my life was about to change soon.
