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

Episode 18

💭Aurora narrating💭

After I said I didn't want to know about Bernardo's company, he smiled for a moment, but then he went quiet and serious and didn't say anything... After a few minutes our food arrived, it was so delicious. I was happy to be there eating after 1 day without eating anything and with that wonderful view of the beach, it was possible to forget about problems for a short period.

Bernardo: Did you like the food?

He gets my attention by bringing me back from my thoughts, making me look at him instead of the beach.

Aurora: Everything was very tasty.

Bernardo: I noticed, you ate everything really fast.

Aurora: How embarrassing.

I forget that when I'm very hungry I end up eating fast and I don't like doing that in public.

Bernardo: You don't need to be embarrassed, I'm glad you liked it and that you ate everything, you didn't eat anything yesterday.

Aurora: I wasn't hungry... just that.

Bernardo: Anyway... Now that we've finished eating, shall we go to the beach?

Aurora: Let's go then!..

Bernardo paid the bill and we went for a walk on the beach... the beach was perfect in person, it seemed like a dream, I take off my sneakers and step on the sand and let it enter between my toes. It's a wonderful feeling, a shame to have gone through this situation, I would love to come here under different circumstances.

Bernardo: Aurora?

We were walking a little distance from each other, for a moment he was walking behind me and I was feeling a little free without him by my side, but when he calls me I stop and turn to look at him.

Aurora: Hi Bernardo? Any problem?

He looks at me a little seriously and takes a deep breath before wanting to say anything to me, I couldn't hide the anger I still felt about all of this.

Bernardo: I'm sorry for doing that in the elevator... I'm usually not that kind of person.

Aurora: It's okay Bernardo, let's pretend that never happened... so don't do it again, we're not really married.

I turned around and kept walking and suddenly I felt Bernardo taking my hand and turning me around and pulling me close to him... damn it... I froze again, my breathing starts to change, my heart races and I couldn't help but look into his black eyes and cold.

Bernardo: Can you stop saying that, understood? We are yes, married...

Aurora: What? You can only be kidding, can you repeat this clowning around?

I try to get away from him but he puts his hands around my body, trapping me even more against his body.

Bernardo: We are married, you are MY Wife, you cannot pretend that.

Aurora: Because of a contract, don't confuse things with this talk on top of me.

Bernardo: Not for me, for me we are married, I am your husband and you are MY Wife.

Aurora: You don't know me Bernardo, I suggest you leave me alone as I asked and forget about this marriage story...

Bernardo: Let me get to know you then? because I don't want to leave you alone.

Aurora: Okay, since you're not giving up, okay... we can be friends, just that.

I managed to get out of his arms and ran off, I went to the restaurant we were at and went into the bathroom, I needed to breathe a little, this was too much for me. When it comes to falling in love, it seems like I turn into a silly girl as if I didn't know what could happen, he had a hold over me and made me forget that I know how to defend myself.

Oh my God, how embarrassed I'll be when I see Bernardo again, I was so ashamed... I'll stay here until I calm down, he can't notice the effect he has on me.

💭Bernardo narrating💭

I tried to approach Aurora again but she ran away from me again, but at least she would be my friend I think and that way it would be easier to try to win her over, since at a certain point she would make some kind of opening.

I went to look for her and the driver said that she entered the restaurant again and the waitress said that Aurora had gone to the bathroom so I go back to the car to wait for her to leave the bathroom.

After 1 hour Aurora didn't come out of the bathroom, I was already getting worried thinking that something could have happened to her... So I decide to go after her, and when I get close to the bathroom I see her leaving, when our eyes meet I could tell that she was shy, so I preferred not to approach her and lose the opportunity she gave me to start a friendship, so I would suggest going where she didn't want to go out, the Hotel.

Bernardo: Hi Aurora, I came to get you, shall we go?

I cut the silence that was between us there near the door that led to the toilet and she looks at me curiously.

Aurora: Where are we going?

Bernardo: I'll take you to the Hotel to rest, okay?

Aurora: Thank you, Bernardo...

So we went towards the car, she was walking in front of me with long strides, she really showed that she didn't want to be near me, and I would try to give her that space... We got in the car and went to the Hotel in silence the whole way... when we arrived at the hotel and went up together and I wanted to leave her at her room before going to mine.

Bernardo: Thanks for having lunch with me... I know you want to be alone, but do you want to have dinner with me later?

She still seemed very shy with me and I end up regretting asking, I'm sure she'll say no.

Aurora: Thanks for lunch Bernardo... that's fine then, see you later.

When she agrees, my heart is very happy, I believe that little by little I will win her over.

Bernardo: So see you later Aurora...

She nods yes and turns to open her bedroom door and then I turn to go to mine when I hear her talking to me.

Aurora: Are we friends now?

I turn around and when I hear her question I end up letting a slight smile appear on my face.

Bernardo: Yes Aurora, we are friends...

She smiles without showing her teeth and then enters and closes the door to her room and I go to my room, my heart was racing as if I had conquered one of the best things in the world, I was managing to get closer to her for the first time... After I entered my room, I went to the bathroom and took a hot shower to relax and think about what had happened earlier, after showering, I saw sweatpants and a shirt and I'm going to lie down, I wanted to stay there thinking about something to conquer Aurora more and more without rushing so she doesn't run away again when I try to kiss her again.
