I woke up, feeling a bit sore from the previous night. I swear I felt like I was possessed, drugged, but that couldn't be true. I pushed those thoughts out of my head, but it only got worse. I realized that I had lost my virginity before our wedding. Of course, in a few hours, that wouldn't be a problem, but I still felt embarrassed.
I turned over to find Luis Fernando, but the room was empty. There was a box on the bed with a pretty dress inside, and a card on top of it.
"Hope this compensates for the harm I've caused."
The card had no name on it, but there were the initials M.S on the back.
This piqued my curiosity, but maybe I just picked the first card I saw. I dressed in my new outfit, a beautiful turquoise cocktail dress with little sparkles on the neckline, my favorite color.
I looked at the time and realized I was running late to get ready for my wedding. So, I rushed out of the hotel and headed straight to my aunt's house, who was a bit anxious and upset that I had left without notice.
"Sorry, aunt!" I said as I walked in.
"We'll have time for explanations later. Now, hurry up, the makeup and hairstylists are here."
I nodded and went up to my room. I took off my beautiful new dress and stored it to keep it from getting ruined. I would wear it on our honeymoon.
After a couple of hours, I was ready. The wedding dress was simple, with no embellishments or sparkles. It was a mermaid-style gown with a discreet back neckline, chosen for me by Luis Fernando's mother. It didn't impress me; it wasn't my style at all. But I appreciated the gesture and accepted it with affection.
I got into our car, where my aunt would drive me to the church. We were already running 10 minutes late. As we drove to the church, I told my aunt what had happened. She just looked at me with disapproval but didn't say anything. I knew she was holding back to not upset me on my wedding day.
We arrived at the church, and it was empty. Luis Fernando's car was not there, neither was his mother. Only the workshop employees who wanted to accompany me on this day were present.
My aunt got out of the car, somewhat concerned. I could feel it.
"Wait here. I'll see what's going on."
LISA
There was something about that boy that I didn't like. I had told my niece several times, but she was blinded by love. It was understandable, but I liked what had happened last night even less.
I approached Maria, one of the workshop employees.
"What's going on? Why are you all outside the church?"
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Lisa, but no one is there, only the priest."
"What do you mean... and Luis Fernando?"
"We haven't seen him," she confessed.
Something triggered my alarm that this wasn't right. I had gone through the same thing years ago, and I didn't want my girl to go through it too.
I could see Victoria gesturing for me to come over, but I didn't have the strength to tell her that maybe her future husband would never show up.
I gathered my courage and walked up to Victoria.
"Vicky, darling, can I borrow your phone?" She looked at me curiously but handed me her phone without objecting.
I hurriedly dialed Luis Fernando's number, but it went to voicemail. I dialed his mother's number, but it also went to voicemail.
Something was not right. Minutes passed, and the priest came out of the church.
"Ma'am, if the bride and groom don't arrive within 20 minutes, I will consider the ceremony concluded, as I have another wedding to attend."
"Give me 5 more minutes, Father," I nodded, and he went back inside the church.
I dialed that guy's number again. I was on edge, refusing to accept that they would leave my niece standing there in her wedding dress. It rang a couple of times, and he answered.
"Luis Fernando, where are you? Victoria is outside the church waiting for you!"
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Lisa, I can't marry her after what she did last night."
I felt my blood boil. How could he say that after taking her innocence?
"How dare you say that after spending the night with her?"
I felt the sarcastic laughter.
"No, ma'am, your niece didn't sleep with me last night. She woke up in the arms of a stranger."
"How can you say that when it was your driver who escorted her to your room?"
"Oh, is that what she told you? Mrs. Lisa, she arrived asking for the gentleman in room 408 when mine was 406, so please excuse me, but I don't want to know anything more about you."
I could hear in the distance the announcement for boarding a flight before hanging up the call.
I felt my tears fall from my eyes. This imbecile had deceived her, stole her innocence, and now pretended to be the victim.
"Aunt, what happened? Why hasn't Luis Fernando arrived?"
VICTORIA
"Which room did you say you stayed in last night?" My aunt asked me.
I looked at her strangely but answered calmly.
"In 408, that was the room under my mother-in-law's name."
When she turned around, I saw that she was crying. I felt my blood run cold, knowing that nothing good was going to come out of her mouth.
"He's not coming, Victoria. He says you slept with someone else."
I felt like my world was crumbling beneath my feet, like I was running out of air, and I ran as far as I could, to a small prayer chapel in the church.
I held onto a bench and cried until I couldn't cry anymore.
"We will find that disgraceful man and make him pay for this. I won't allow him to mock you, or say all those things."
"It doesn't matter anymore, aunt. The only thing I thought was perfect has disappeared," I said through tears.
"You can't let a man bring you down, my daughter. You're worth so much more. I know it hurts, but you have to pick yourself up and move forward. Eventually, you'll find a way to get back at that miserable man."
"And how will we do that, aunt? He's not from here, I don't even know where he lives."
"We'll hire an investigator."
"And how will we pay for that?"
"I'll sell part of the workshop if necessary." I knew the workshop was the only thing my parents had left behind and it was very precious to my aunt. I couldn't let her do that.
"No, aunt, you won't do that. We'll have to think of another way to handle things."
"I can help you," I heard a man's voice speak behind me.
"Who are you?"
"The person who will help you with your revenge."
"How...how will you do that?" my aunt asked nervously.
"One favor, for another favor."
"Of course, I knew everything has a price. And what is yours?" I asked reluctantly.
"Marry me."
