Spain, Catalonia..
...Present day....
...Heitor Mancini ...
I'm in my office, signing some papers, until I hear a knock on the door. I tell them to come in and see my secretary. Her heels echo throughout the room, and that sound irritates me deeply. I throw the pen aside and press my arm on the table, looking at her face. She is a little scared maybe.
...Heitor• Tell me, Nicole....
...Nicole• Good morning, sir, your family lawyer is out here....
...Heitor• Okay, send him in, and I don't want anyone to interrupt us....
...Nicole• Yes sir....
She leaves, and I take a deep breath because when he shows up it's problem after problem. After 2 minutes, the great Mancini family lawyer, Luigi Freumon, walks in. I get up and shake his hand, greeting him, and after we both sit down again.
...Heitor• Good morning Luigi, how can I help you....
...Luigi• I came to deliver a paper with your father's last will. He asked me to deliver it only to you at the office....
...Heitor• Ok ...
Luigi takes a letter from his briefcase and hands it to me, and I take it, breathing deeply. I start to open it when my blood starts to boil. I feel an immense desire to throw things against the wall. The hatred that has settled in me is inexplicable. I continue reading that piece of paper, wanting to crush the damn thing.
...* LETTER ON *...
...Dear Heitor, I know that you must be fuming with hatred now, because you have my temper, but consider this in the future as a gift. You will have around a month and a half to get married. If you do not comply within this period, the company will be taken from you and will pass into the hands of your brother, and I believe this is not what you want, so I suggest you start looking for your bride daughter. Enough brothels, I don't want our company's image tarnished by bad press, so as soon as you have her, Luigi will go over the contract I prepared for you....
...A big hug, your father....
...LETTER OFF....
I crumple up that letter, hitting it against the wall in hatred. I look at the man in front of me; I know it's not his fault what my father did, so it's not fair to take my hatred out on him.
...Heitor• Thank you very much for the letter, Luigi, I ask you to leave, I need to be alone, when I'm better I'll call you....
...Luigi• Okay sir, have a nice day...
...Heitor• Good morning ...
He leaves my office, and I immediately grab a pitcher of water and throw it against the wall, trying to control all my hatred. I run my hand through my hair, pacing back and forth. I grab my bag and leave the office determined to go home as soon as I walk past my assistant.
...Heitor• Nicole cancel everything for today, and reschedule for tomorrow....
...Nicole•Ok ...
I keep walking, I take the elevator, as soon as I get into it, I lean against those cold walls, with the thought of how a man I admired so much does this to me, I don't want to get married, but if it's to not lose the company, so I will, even against my will. As soon as the elevator opens, I walk as fast as I can, people look at me with a certain fear, I see the parked car, the driver was already waiting for me, I enter the back door, he immediately greets me.
...Daniel• Good morning, sir, where are we going?...
...Heitor• Good morning Daniel, to my house....
He starts to drive, and my cell phone rings, I see it's my brother, I take a deep breath, pulling in all the air that seems to be missing.
...CALL ON...
...Natan• Where are you, brother?...
...Heitor• Going home, my head's not right ...
...Natan• What happened, Heitor?...
...Heitor• Simply our father, threatened me that if I don't get married, the company will be taken from me, and I have a month and a half to find a bride, and I have nowhere to find a goddamn bride....
...Natan• Calm down, man, you're the all-powerful boss, just put out an ad, lol...
...Heitor• Shut up, Natan, bye, we'll talk later ...
...Natan• Bye....
...CALL OFF...
I get even more irritated with the mockery of my bastard brother, my driver looks at me, and raises his hand, so he could speak.
...Daniel• Excuse me, sir, but I couldn't help but overhear your conversation, I can help you with that....
...Heitor• How ?...
...Daniel• Marry my daughter Valentina, that will help you with the company....
...Heitor• Make an appointment for 1 week from now....
The car pulls up and I get out right away, it may seem desperate, but whatever, I have no other choice, I need to meet this Chloe or whatever her name is that he said, I don't care, we won't have a normal married life. I go inside the house, I see my sister, I kiss her on the top of her head, she smiles, I go up to my room and take a shower, letting all the dirt and stress of today leave my body, I relax 100%, I get out of the bathroom, I dry myself well, I put on only my underwear, and I lie down on the bed and I'm fiddling with my cell phone.
