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

Episode 13

💭Bernardo narrating💭

He smiles at me and picks up his cell phone that was on the table

— Eduardo- So let's go, at this time she is at college

We went down and went to where his car was and we followed towards the college, so after a while we arrived and went looking for Eduardo's daughter

Eduardo: Bernardo my oldest daughter is called Aurora, at this time she should be arriving since it is still very early

I just listened and remained silent, when Eduardo saw her and called her name, she stared at us and stood there speechless, I found it strange since she was his daughter, but soon a girl pulled her and they went somewhere else

Bernardo: Why didn't she come here?

Eduardo: Can we talk about this at my house?

I nodded and we went to his house this time, when we got there we went straight to the office

Bernardo: So you can tell me now why...

I spoke and sat down on a sofa that was there

Eduardo: Well Bernardo, Aurora doesn't know me, she was raised by her mother and grandparents and I never had contact, but I always watch her from afar

Bernardo: and how do you want me to marry her? she will not accept this marriage, even if I want to

Eduardo: I want her to marry you, even so... I will convince her

Bernardo: with what intention will you do that?

Eduardo: I love my daughter, and I couldn't give her everything she deserved, I think this way I can give her everything, a better life, teach her about everything about business and thus be able to give her everything that is mine

Bernardo: Do you think she will accept?

Eduardo: I'm not sure, but I'll make her accept

After talking to Eduardo, I was left thinking about all that, I went on my business trip, but always thinking about Aurora, from afar I saw her and she seemed to be more beautiful than the time I saw her

(...)

After a few days Eduardo calls me back to his house, I get excited thinking that he would already have the answer and hoping that she accepted, since during all this time she was on my mind I wanted her for me and I was decided about that

Then I get ready and without any delay I go to his house

Eduardo: Hello Bernardo come in

I entered his house and went to the office... I sat down and saw Eduardo picking up some papers

Eduardo: So Bernardo, I would like to propose a contract with you

Bernardo: What would it be about? I thought it came because of the wedding

I say going to sit near his desk

Eduardo: I would like to join our companies for 2 years and this has to do with marriage

Bernardo: I see, but how would that be?

Eduardo: your parents think that you and Aurora have met and that you will be getting married in a few days, at least that's what I made it seem, so I want to offer you a 2-year contract for this marriage

Bernardo: why a marriage contract?

Eduardo: It would work like this, you and Aurora get married and during this time our companies are linked, if after 2 years Aurora doesn't want to be married anymore, you separate and so do the companies

Bernardo: And is she aware of this?

Eduardo: Only the 2 of us will know about this, I'm going to say that you're saving the company or something like that, so she can accept, after that you get married, if you want you can make her fall in love maybe, but she can't know anything about this

Bernardo: but why are you doing this to her?

Eduardo: It will only be for 2 years, so that she is entitled to everything that is mine, during these years, I will do all the paperwork so that everything is hers, and she will decide what to do with her sisters, if she is going to give a pension, or will share it later anyway, I want her to be married to facilitate all this

Bernardo: but I don't understand all this, why should I be her husband?

Eduardo: because I spoke with Rodrigo, he told me about your ex, and I thought you 2 would get along, since Aurora has never had a boyfriend. Maybe you are her first love, so neither she nor you will have your heart broken?

He seemed to be hiding something, but I could see that he cared about her, and even though it seemed crazy I wanted to accept, the question of being her first love caught my attention

Bernardo: This doesn't seem very right to me, I don't even know her, I might hurt her and how are you going to give her everything, why would you do that?

Eduardo: I know everything seems strange, but I have a reason for wanting to see my daughter happily married with my assets

Bernardo: what would it be?

Eduardo fell silent for a moment, handed me one of the contracts and sat down on the sofa in front

Eduardo: I have Cancer Bernardo, and only you know about it now

I was speechless at that moment, it was hard to believe that this man in front of me who seemed so healthy was so sick

Bernardo: but since when did you know?

Eduardo: I found out a few months ago, and I haven't told anyone before, I decided to redeem myself with my daughter before I died, I didn't give any affection or better conditions, but now I want it to be different, Aurora is 23 years old, I can still give her something

Bernardo: why don't you tell her and do it differently without marriage, wouldn't it be better?

Eduardo: I don't want to tell her, she might not believe it, and besides, I want her to learn from you about business and guide her on everything... during these months that I found out about my illness, I looked for someone worthy of my daughter, so that I could leave everything on track because I wanted my daughter to be married when I left, even when I remembered you and went to talk to your father, I have been friends with your parents for many years Bernardo I know she will be in good hands

I listened attentively, she could really know the truth and have everything without this marriage, but there was something I was hiding and I would find out, but in the meantime I would marry her and make her fall in love and finally everything I waited years for, now I would have
