Episode 6

Martin picked up the phone that was in Robert's room and dialed a number, which connected him to the secretary outside the room, then he said:

"Lola, have the company lawyer come to my room immediately."

"Ok sir, I'll do it right now"she said, then got up and went to the lawyer's room.

Grace, who was a little apprehensive, soon asked:

"I won't be forced to get involved with your grandson romantically, will I?"

"No, you can rest assured that nothing will happen between the two of you, I just need you to marry him so the press knows he's away due to his supposed marriage, just to give a reason to the gossip sites, newspapers , magazines and especially the entire press"he said, thinking about his grandson who is in a coma.

The lawyer knocks on the door and as soon as he hears Martin's voice asking him to come in, the lawyer opens the door, greets his boss and Gregory, when he looks at Grace, he immediately says:

"Grace, what are you doing here?"

"Hello Miguel, I didn't know you worked here," she said politely to him.

"Yes, for over four years. I'm so sorry for what happened, I didn't expect Leonardo to be able to do what he did"he said.

"I don't care, don't worry, I'm fine" she said, trying to end the conversation.

Martin looks at the lawyer and says:

"I want you to prepare a marriage contract immediately, then draw up a document to settle all the debts of the Parker family business."

"Sir, who do I put the agreement in, who are the bride and groom?" the lawyer asked.

"In the name of Robert and Grace"Martin said.

Grace takes her ID from her purse and hands it to the lawyer who has always been a friend of Leonardo's, her ex-fiance.

Miguel goes out to his room to quickly prepare a contract and his phone rings, it was Rodrigo, wanting to know what his grandfather wanted, when he called the lawyer to Robert's room.

📲—Mr. Rodrigo, your grandfather asked me to draw up a marriage contract, for your brother, so I need to hang up, he's waiting in the room for the documents— the lawyer said, then hung up the call.

Rodrigo quickly leaves his room, enters his brother's room and looks at his grandfather and then at Grace.

"What is this woman doing here? You can't make her my brother's wife."

"And who will stop me?"Martin asked seriously.

"Grandpa, Robert can't stand romantic relationships, you can't let him marry this woman, he would never marry this woman, don't make this deal grandpa" he said, thinking only of himself, worried that Grace would interfere with the plans he had for his brother who was in a coma.

The lawyer arrives with the documents and Rodrigo is about to tear them up, when Grace takes her future brother-in-law's hands and says:

"I don't admit you talking about me like I'm not here, that's why you're not the CEO of the company, you don't know how to deal with anything, you just think about yourself, respect your grandfather's decision and stop being a hypocrite."

Grace's father and Robert's grandfather look at her in surprise, then Rodrigo takes advantage of the situation and says:

"Is this the kind of woman you want your grandson to marry?"

Martin looks at Rodrigo, walks to the door and opens it, waiting for his grandson to leave the office, as soon as he passes his grandfather, Grace faces him and Rodrigo looks furiously at his new sister-in-law.

Martin signs the papers, Grace and her father also sign, then Robert's grandfather asks her to pack her things because the next day she will move into the mansion where he and her husband live.

Robert's grandfather didn't mention that her future husband was in a coma, he just said:

"Your future husband's driver will be at your residence early tomorrow to take you to the registry office, I hope you have your bags ready, because after the registry office, you will be living in the mansion with your future husband."

Grace leaves with her father, who seems to be quite nervous, she smiles at him and says:

"Don't worry dad, I'll be fine."

The day passed quickly...

It was night and Grace went out to feel one last time what it was like to feel free, she went to the same bar the night she met Robert, believing she would have a chance to see him again, but who was in the same bar it was Leonardo, who was already drunk

"Hello Grace, so you go to bars now?"he asked, touching her waist.

Grace slaps Leonardo and walks away from him, but he seemed to want to start trouble and goes up to her and says:

"After you leaked that photo, my parents are forcing me to leave Zara, so are you satisfied? Was that what you wanted? Just have me for you? So what do you think about us getting back together?" "he said, smelling like alcohol."

Grace looks at him in disgust.

"I wouldn't go back to you even if you asked for my forgiveness and declared your love for me in a true way," she said furiously.

Leonardo tries to kiss her and she slaps her ex-fiance and quickly leaves the bar, takes a taxi and goes back to her house.
