Episode 4

MIGUEL

We prepared two helicopters, one of the helicopters carried some of my best soldiers, the most well-trained ones, and I went in the other.

Bianca was already preparing everything; as soon as we get back, we’ll go straight to the Mafia headquarters for the wedding.

Bianca and Felipo will be the witnesses, the judge will already be in position amidst the marriage papers that Marcele Mendez will sign. I ordered Bianca to draw up a contract where my dear wife will not be able to divorce me.

The only clause in this contract, I find these rules for the wife to follow ridiculous.

We won't sleep in the same room, but she can enter my room whenever she wants; if she marries me, she will also be the owner of my house.

We flew for about 40 minutes, as soon as I arrived in Cholula, Puebla, I called Felipo who was just waiting for the show to start.

I waited inside a car in front of Bordini's Fortress for Felipo's signal.

He was disguised among the soldiers, as soon as he gave me the signal, one of the soldiers took me to the part where the ceremony was taking place; I arrived just as the priest asked if anyone had anything to say.

PRIEST - If anyone has anything to say, speak now or forever hold your peace.

MIGUEL - ME.

At that moment, Bordini drew his gun and pointed it at me, but his own soldier put the gun to his head, leaving him surrendered.

ESTEBAN - How did you get in here, Martinez? You were not invited to this ceremony; it's best you withdraw now before the worst happens.

MIGUEL - And what would be the worst? If I take your bride or kill you, Bordini, you underestimate me. I came to get something that belongs to me, and I will take it.

I ordered them to remove him from the premises, but they were not authorized to kill; I still need to have fun with this fool running from the damage and being humiliated by the other cartels.

MIGUEL - Let's go, dear bride?

I can't tell if she's ugly or just wearing clown makeup. Besides, the dress was hideous, such an ugly thing, I don't even know if you could call that a wedding dress, it looked more like a giant cake, everything in poor taste.

Gunfire was exchanged, but my men were prepared for that; I managed to get her out through a secret exit. We were being guided by one of the soldiers who sold themselves to us.

I had to carry her on my shoulders since the dress and shoes weren't helping; she looked more like a walking paw.

We got into the back of the car, Felipo got into the front, driving at high speed, and we went to the helipad where our helicopters were.

My men who stayed behind in confrontation will know what to do; they were well trained and instructed for this; we returned in a helicopter, and during the flight, I called Bianca. Marcele has the same physique as my twin sisters, this will make the tailor's work easier, you can't marry someone dressed and made up like that.

MARCELE - Who are you? Where are you taking me? What are you going to do with me?

MIGUEL - Don't you get tired of asking questions? Let's play a game: you don't ask, and I don't answer; it's the silent game.

She shrank back all over, looking like a scared paw. As soon as we landed at the helipad in Calabria, Bianca was already waiting for us and took Marcele to get ready.

I went to my office, and as soon as I opened the door, I ran into my mother and my parents.

BEATRIZ - Miguel, what's this story that you're getting married? And worst of all, you stole the bride of one of our enemies. What's going on in your head, son?

MIGUEL - Strategy.

BEATRIZ - I'm serious, Miguel, this can't be right, son. Has it crossed your mind that she might love this man, and you're committing this atrocity?

MIGUEL - Only if she's crazy, to love a man like Bordini.

My suit was ready, I went to the bathroom to take a shower and change while my mother kept talking.

I came out of the bathroom already dressed, and only my father, Benicio, was in the room; he said that my mother went to meet the girl, and my father Dante went to receive their judge friend.

From our family, only Alicia will not be present; she is performing last-minute surgery on her patients.

As soon as I entered the party hall, everything was decorated, Bianca outdid herself in record time; she really put a wedding together.

I heard my father giving orders to reinforce external security; he must be afraid that Bordini will try something; it would be fun, the groom who was left behind trying to rescue his little paw bride.

My family knows me very well, so there was no mushy music, nothing like that. We took our places when the wedding march began to play, and Marcele entered alone, holding the bouquet.

Not that the paw isn't very beautiful, totally different from the clown I met, she was wearing a more subtle makeup that showed the features of her face, a more fitted, even beautiful dress, she walked up to me.

But you could see the fear in her eyes, this woman has to learn to be strong.

The judge already knew what it was about, so he went straight to the point.

He immediately stated the terms, and that was it; we signed the papers, the witnesses signed, and the judge asked us to exchange rings; I didn't even remember that existed.

Good thing my father remembered and handed me a small box with two rings. I put it on her finger, and she put it on mine. At the time of the kiss, she shrugged, and I just kissed her forehead. She may be getting married by force, but I will not do anything she does not want, never.
