They had arrived on the island, many men had taken charge of Arturo's security, Susan was surprised by the number of people the man attracts, she sighed, knowing that Arturo would remain her husband for the next 8 months. The man sealed the deal by having sex with her again, leaving her practically exhausted due to the prolonged encounter. It took them an extra hour, but there she was, standing, following in her husband's footsteps, looking at the ground until her head hit something hard.
She raised her face, encountering the most perfect male features she had ever seen. It wasn't the first time she had seen him, but Arturo always had a charm that captivates anyone.
"Why are you so absent-minded?" Arturo turned around and continued on his way. Several vans awaited them. Once they were alone, Susan allowed herself to analyze the place where they were. "My mother will be here, my younger sister is getting married, as well as my older brother and the Commander of the entire Lacronte Family, Agustina Lacronte, my grandmother. I warn you, she does not like anyone, so be prepared for possible hardships."
Susan blinked several times, then sighed. Perhaps these next seven days would be a living hell. When they arrived at the hotel where they would be staying, a woman's voice greeted them as soon as the door opened.
"I've been waiting for you here for an hour. The hotel was about to hire me as their cleaning lady," the elderly woman with her cane stood at the door, an icon of the Family despite her age.
"Mrs. Agustina, calm down," a woman joined them.
"Don't tell me to calm down, Arturo. Why did you take so long?"
"Good morning to you too, grandmother," Arturo approached her.
"Oh, are you Susan?" The old woman completely ignored her grandson, moving closer to Susan. The young woman felt nervous, remembering Arturo's warning.
"Yes, ma'am, I'm Susan," as she answered, she could feel the sweat in her hands.
"No ma'am, call me tata," Agustina Lacronte's words left her companions dumbfounded—two women and Arturo. The woman turned around and pointed her cane at her grandson. "And you, have you told her anything?"
"Grandmother, I swear I haven't told her anything," Arturo defended himself.
Susan wanted to laugh, the old woman had gained her trust, and Arturo's behavior amused her.
"You better not have. The scent of sex coming from you two saves you. I hope my great-grandchildren arrive as soon as possible." Susan's face turned as red as a tomato, while Arturo showed no emotion in response to his grandmother's words.
"Grandmother, I suppose my sister misses you very much." In that precise moment, Arturo did not seem like a dominant President.
"That ungrateful child doesn't even remember me. She only thinks about the wedding night. Dear Susan, would you like to have tea with me?"
"I have no problem with that." Susan's smile was very sweet, and even though Agustina hadn't said anything, it was evident that the young woman was to her liking.
"Good, very good." The old woman turned around, leaving Arturo practically in the background. "I'll be in the room across the hall. If this brute tortures you, just knock on my door. I'll come and give him a good spanking."
"Grandmother, that's enough," Arturo protested.
"You don't tell me what to do." Agustina glared at her grandson, and Susan wished the ground would swallow her. The old woman had discovered what they had been up to. When the door closed, the atmosphere returned to its previous state.
"Well, with so little interaction, everyone could believe you're my grandmother's granddaughter and not me." Arturo seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Do not bother me, you heard Grandma," Susan sat on the sofa, teasingly remarking, "Who would have thought, Arturo?"
"Do you believe that what my grandmother said will stop me, Susan?" Arturo smirked confidently. "My dear wife, let me tell you it won't." Arturo was incredibly arrogant.
After both of them had taken their respective showers, Susan had fallen into a deep sleep, while Arturo had gone to meet someone according to the call he had received. Someone had arrived, and he was going to fetch that person. Of course, Susan had overheard their conversation, but it didn't require much thinking to know that he was going for Gabriela.
When she woke up, she wondered how the relationship between Gabriela and Agustina would be. But she quickly dismissed that thought, realizing she had no reason to dwell on it. It was as if she were a worried wife concerning herself with another woman's relationship with her husband's family.
She decided to step out onto the balcony. The view from there was magnificent. "So, you're the daughter-in-law of the Lacronte Family," a casually dressed man approached her, and she couldn't understand how he had entered the room.
"Who are you?" Susan asked.
"Oh, how interesting that you haven't had any talks with my brother-in-law. In fact, you should have known that I am the future husband of his sister," the man spoke with a hint of mockery.
"I am married to Arturo, not to the members of his family. I'm not obliged to know anyone," Susan responded confidently.
"You're lacking some respect," the man was rather despicable.
"Should you dare to lay a hand on me, Arturo will cut off your hands."
"While you're here, he's with Gabriela, oblivious to your presence," the man smirked.
"Susan!" Daniela entered, catching both her friend and the man off guard. "What are you doing with a fisherman?" Before paying attention to Daniela's remark, Susan wondered how her friend had arrived there.
