Episode 12

ANGELA: 😏Not yet, he's so oblivious, worried about his silly marriage, and because I'm such a "good" girlfriend, I had to comfort him as he thinks I'm suffering and crying my eyes out for him, hahahaha, what a fool for falling in love—that's something to take advantage of.

UNKNOWN: 😏Make the most of it in Tomses, and get him to sign the papers where he hands over his entire fortune to you. Do you really want to lose it all and go back to poverty?😁, asked knowingly the answer.

ANGELA:😒 Of course not, I'd rather die than go back to poverty and lose the luxury I've grown accustomed to, and everything I deserve... that will NEVER happen.😓

UNKNOWN:😏 That’s what I like to hear, and without saying more, they melted back into the flames of passion.😰

AT THE WEDDING: :-)

PRIEST: 😇Seeing that both individuals present are here of their own free will, let us continue.

Mr. Alejandro Estefan Macolis Ferreti, do you take Miss Kiara Smith as your wife, to love and respect her every day of your life?

ALEJANDRO: 😑Yes… I do.

PRIEST: Miss Kiara Maite Smith Silva, do you take Mr. Alejandro Macolis as your husband, to love and respect him every day of your life?

KIARA: I do.

PRIEST: Very well, now for the vows.

Alejandro:😐 I, Alejandro Macolis, take you, Kiara Smith, as my wife, to love and respect you for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, in wealth and in poverty, until death do us part—thinking I had to memorize all this due to grandfather's whim, just hang on, Alejandro, it will all be worth it when you can marry the woman you truly love, just two years, only two more years.😤

😑He repeated in his head, never would have spoken those words if his grandfather hadn't told him to practice, and he did it in just one day.😐

KIARA: 😐I, Kiara Smith, take you, Alejandro Macolis, as my husband, to love, respect, and be faithful to you for better or for worse, in wealth and poverty, in sickness and in health, until death do us part—thought, I don't know how I could say those words, I don't love him but I have to endure just two years and I'll be free, thank God I don't have to worry about money, I have more than enough, I just hope he doesn't discover my secret during our marriage, if he does, I’m done for.

PRIEST: 😇By the power vested in me by the church, what God has joined in heaven let no man separate on earth, if there is any reason why this marriage should not take place, speak now or forever hold your peace—total silence—in light of there being none, you may now kiss the bride.😘

NARRATOR: The moment Kiara dreaded had come, and against her will, she tilted her head so Alejandro could kiss her. He didn't want to out of respect for his girlfriend, but with his grandfather's warning look, he had to do it. At the touch of their lips, which seemed only a simple brush, they both felt a jolt of electricity through their spines, but Kiara chose to ignore it.

😘The church erupted in applause for the newlyweds. Kiara was nervous; although it wasn't quite a kiss, it was her first. The couple left the church and went to the reception organized by Alejandro's grandfather in the city’s finest hotel. Alejandro and Kiara arrived at the hotel in complete silence.😇

😐Without a word, they reached the reception, where family and friends were already gathered. Seeing the newlyweds enter, they were prompted to dance their first waltz. After the dance, Alejandro and Kiara received congratulations for this new chapter in their lives.😄

GRANDFATHER:😍😍Congratulations, children, I hope you are very happy. Kiara, from today on, please see me as your grandfather, and if Alejandro gets too clever or mistreats you, don’t just keep it to yourself—come and tell me, and I’ll take care of educating him, alright? 😃Kiara just nodded to the old man's words—give me a hug, my dear— he said joyously.

KIARA:😎 Don't worry, Mr. Macolis, if Alejandro does anything to me, I know how to handle him, but thank you for your words, I'll keep them in mind.

she said, offering him a smile and a sharp look from her now-husband, as the old man watched his grandson with amusement, sure that at some point he would be thankful.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I’ll head to the powder room and will be back in a moment, excuse me.😉
