Episode 8

That day we went out together because it was our honeymoon, this man was very nice and all but I still think about Thomas, I'm sure he already knows about my marriage and how disappointed he must be.

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

The first week of our honeymoon has passed, and I won't deny that I've had my little escapades. There are always women who want to be with me. I imagine Isabel doesn't notice because she's a woman; she probably would have confronted me earlier. I'm counting down the days to return to the city and take control of the business.

My father calls us often. He wants to make sure that my wedding was real. We speak to him and pretend to be in love. Isabel has done her job well. She has received the money her father needed, now we just have to wait for the two years stipulated in the contract, and then we will both be free again.

Today, I asked her to go ahead to the hotel restaurant, as I had to take some work calls. When I arrived at the hotel's reception, I saw her talking to a man. She was smiling a lot, and it seemed like flirtatious behavior to me. I became enraged, took her by the arm, and dragged her back to the room.

Isabel: What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?

Santiago: What do you think you're doing?

Isabel: I was just talking to him, it's not a big deal. What's wrong with you? It's just a contract between the two of us.

Santiago: But we are married. The contract specifies this. You're not going to make me look like a fool in front of everyone. If you want to be a promiscuous woman, wait until we get divorced.

Isabel: You're an imbecile. (A slap echoed on Santiago's cheek.)

Isabel broke free from my grip and left the room infuriated. Who does this woman think she is? She won't get away with this. I'm going to teach her a lesson.

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

He's an imbecile. I stormed out of the room, furious. How dare he offend me? I simply exchanged a few words with the man at the reception, I never flirted with him.

This man thinks he can handle me. I accepted this marriage because of my father, but I won't be his toy or his mockery. I want these two years to pass as quickly as possible. This man is only good-looking on the outside, but inside he's an animal, he drives me crazy. We've only been married for a week, and I can't stand him already.

Santiago: You're quite brave, little girl, but you'll pay for it. (He said threateningly.)

Isabel: I'm not afraid of you, and let it be clear, don't offend me again, or I won't be very kind to you. (She said with a smile on her face, showing her confidence in those words.)

Santiago: I've decided that the honeymoon ends here. Tonight we'll be on the private jet, heading back to the city. I hope you don't mind.

Isabel: Mind? Not at all. It's the best news you've given me. I'll go prepare everything, and we'll leave. Thank you. (Her eyes lit up as she got up and headed towards the room.)

Finally, we're leaving this place. It's a paradise, but the company is not. I'm glad we're going back to the city, at least there I won't have to put up with him all day like I have here.

I started packing all my clothes and putting them in the suitcase. An employee came to help me, but I had already finished everything. I was just so happy to return to the city and not share a room with this guy who drives me crazy.
