Hours earlier…
I hear insistent knocking on the door, I can already imagine who it is.
Paola: Come on girl, get up. It's time for us to go to your fiance's house.
I get up and open the door…
Paola: Great, you're already awake, get dressed as best you can, I don't want to be embarrassed. (She says looking at me with disdain)
Ana: But wasn't the wedding supposed to be at night?
Paola: I talked to your father, and I don't want a party. It will be very tiring, and everyone seeing you will bring us shame, you don't even know how to behave in high society. (She says laughing)
Ana: My dad agreed to this? (I say with tears in my eyes)
Paola: Of course, silly, I have him in the palm of my hands. Now get dressed and don't be long… (she says going down the stairs)
I do my usual hygiene routine, go down, make coffee and sit in the chair.
Karine: Excited, little sister?
Paola: Of course she is, look at her face.
Karine: What a pity, she won't even have a wedding party… what a boring life, isn't it? Well, it doesn't matter, since he's old, instead of the wedding party, you can already hold his funeral… (she says laughing)
Hearing all that hurt me, what did I do to deserve this? Why did my father let them treat me like this? What did I do?
Besides, even if it was impossible, I dreamed of marrying someone who loved me, made me happy and having a beautiful party like a princess. But from the looks of it, my dream is going down the drain.
They stop talking when my father approaches the table…
Sergio: Let's go, I already told Diogo that we are on our way. (Turns and leaves without even saying a word to me).
After 1 hour, we arrived at my so-called fiance's house, and when I see it, it's a beautiful mansion.
Karine: Wow, I think I want to switch places with you, little sister… (she says looking at everything)
Paola: This beauty doesn't make up for marrying an old man, you deserve better my dear. (She says walking ahead)
As soon as we enter, a very serious man dressed in the best suit greets us, I believe he is my father-in-law.
Diogo: Sergio, how are you?
Sergio: Fine, my friend. (He says greeting)
Diogo: What brings you here so early?
Sergio: I talked to my daughter, and she asked me to have the wedding be just the signing of papers. You know? She's shy. Isn't that right, daughter?
I just nod in agreement. This is the first time I hear him call me daughter after my mother's death.
Diogo: It's up to my son to decide, come with me to the office. (He leaves guiding us through the immense mansion)
We pass the living room, and I see that the decoration has nothing to do with an old man, either he has very good taste.
(Living room)
And finally, we arrive at the office.
When we enter, I am shocked by what I see, my supposed old husband is a hottie, he looks like a prince charming, but he's a mobster I know, he's nothing like a prince.
I notice that he looks back, and I keep my head down, besides the shame, I was used to staying like this while my father spoke.
My father tells the whole story, that he doesn't need a party, and even claims that I was the one who decided this, but I never said that at any point, I can't hide my face, and I show the sadness I'm feeling, but to my surprise, my fiance rejects my father's idea, and says that everything is already planned for the party.
My stepmother and sister shoot me a look, seeing that my husband is not an old man. Karine even tries to reverse and return to her position as a bride, but the so-called Brian prevents her.
I started to feel relieved, but then I remembered that I would have to go home to get ready, and I know they would bother me until I left. But to my relief, he arranged another place for me to get ready, I don't even know how to thank him.
He tells me that I'm going to a spa, and I'm waiting for his sister.
Until she enters the office, she looks like a doll, she's beautiful and lively. She's already hugging me, and making friends. I'm not used to being treated this way, I've always been treated badly, well, not when my mother was alive, she treated me like a princess.
We left the office and went straight to the spa.
