Episode 5

Father: You can kiss the bride (he said, smiling).

I hadn't thought about it, my goodness, he has to kiss me in front of all these people, it can't be.

He approached me, placing one of his large hands on my waist and the other on my face as he leaned closer and closer to me.

I became so nervous until I felt his sweet lips on mine, his mouth tasted like mint and he emanated a magnificent scent, perhaps his cologne. We kissed as if we had done it before, I let myself go.

This man certainly knew how to kiss. Finally, he pulled away and extended his hand, as we had to leave.

The church ceremony was over, and we had to go to the reception at the "Gavinos Palace" hotel. It seems that my husband had rented it entirely as each guest had a room, including myself.

We got into one of his cars, where his chauffeur would drive us. I was a little embarrassed about the kiss we shared, so I didn't say a word until we arrived at the hotel, just like him.

......................

We arrived at the hotel, and of course, I must be a gentleman with my wife since no one knows it's just a contract, not even my father.

I stepped out of the car and went to the door where she was. I reached out my hand to help her out, and she accepted it, stepping out of the car. I extended my arm for her to lean on.

Santiago: Nobody knows about the agreement, you know we must keep appearances. It should seem like we truly love each other because the only ones who know about the agreement are your father, my friend, you, and me, okay? (whispering)

Isabel: Don't worry, sir. I will do whatever you ask.

Santiago: Don't call me sir; that won't look good. Just call me Santiago, and you can address me informally. (He said while glancing at his phone, answering some messages)

Isabel: Alright, as you wish. Can I go to the room for a moment? I feel a bit uncomfortable in this dress, I'll change into something more comfortable. (She said, lifting the dress's train that was dragging on the floor)

Santiago: Fine, but don't take too long. Joel, accompany my wife and wait outside her room.

Isabel: It's not necessary.

Santiago: It's an order.

Isabel: Okay, as you say. (She said, rolling her eyes and sighing resigningly)

......................

We haven't been married for even an hour, and he already wants to do whatever he wants with me. But he shouldn't think he can get away with it. Today, I'll let it slide because we're at our wedding, and I don't want any problems here. But he'll see later.

I'm not a fool; I won't allow him to humiliate me.

I entered the room, and the bodyguard stayed by the door, waiting for me. I went into the bathroom, let my hair down, and quickly changed my dress for a more comfortable one.

It was a dress above the knees, white with no neckline, lace details, and a bit of beading. The skirt had a tutu-style, almost the same as the one I wore in the church, but the advantage was that it was lighter. I also put on matching heels, as the ones I wore before were quite high and painful.

I left the room and the bodyguard was still there. He apologized to me. I know it's not his fault, he just follows his boss's orders.

I entered the grand hall, and there Santiago was waiting for me for our first dance as husband and wife. I am very nervous.
