Spain, Catalonia.
...Heitor Mancini...
My dear sister made me go to a jeweler to buy a gift for my future wife, whom I barely know. I went to one that, even though it was small, I used to buy from. But instead of going there, I always ask them to bring it to me. But today was different, I preferred to go there. I don't know why, but when I walked into the store and the attendant came to assist me, something about her really moved me. She was perfection in the form of a woman. Her name is Clarissa, super kind and polite, and at no time did she look down on me as it usually happens, and that surprised me because she didn't know who I was, and that made me completely at ease. There I was just Heitor and not the all-powerful Heitor Mancini. Without a doubt, that woman intrigued me. Now I'm in my office spending the rest of the day.
...****************...
...A week later...
...Clarissa Davenport...
Today is the day I'm going to meet my future husband. I'm definitely irritated about it, but if I look on the bright side, I'll get rid of Daniel and Valentina, so it will be a point in my favor. I'm getting ready, I decided to wear a pink dress with some ruffles on top, I put on flats, I value my comfort too much, I leave my hair down, I hear a knock on the door, and I tell them to come in. I see it's Daniel, I roll my eyes.
...Daniel: Let's go, Clarissa...
...Clarissa: I'm coming...
He leaves, I look in the mirror one more time, I was beautiful. I take my purse and go down the stairs, I leave the house going to the car, I get in the back door, strange that Valentina is coming, but from what I understood we'll find him at the office, and that's right, about half an hour we arrived, I get out of the car with my father and my sister, that situation is already uncomfortable with those two so it got worse, we entered the company, it was all so beautiful, everything full of marble, the decoration very minimalist.
...Valentina: And little sister will be fine, but I don't want a 50-year-old man...
...Clarissa: Do me and yourself a favor, shut your mouth and stop talking crap...
...Daniel: You two stop it, and behave...
We get into the elevator, soon Daniel presses the button for the fifteenth floor, I'm a little claustrophobic, so I was praying every second inside that metal box, it seems like an eternity, as soon as it opens I'm the first to get out, and we went towards the secretary.
...Daniel: Hi Nicole, I have an appointment with Mr. Mancini...
...Nicole: Of course, sir, you may come in...
And so we do, he and Valentina go first, and I come in right behind them, the chair is facing the window, I hear my father speak up.
...Daniel: Mr. Mancini, I brought my daughter to meet you...
The chair turns, revealing the one person I least expected. I was half hidden behind the two in front of me, so there was no way he could see me properly.
...• So that's her, Daniel?...
...Daniel: No sir, it's Clarissa...
...• Great, where is she?...
...Daniel: Right here, sir...
The two of them move away giving him full access to his vision. When our eyes met, he gave a sideways smile, getting up and stopping in front of me.
...Heitor: You again, what a small world...
...Valentina: You know each other? Look, there's a little misunderstanding here, I was supposed to be your fiancee, not her...
...Heitor: I don't understand, but I'm not the least bit interested in marrying you, so please get out of my office, and Daniel, please leave...
...Valentina: You'll pay for this, Clarissa...
...Daniel: Let's go, Valentina, that's enough...
They leave the room, leaving just me and Heitor. He sits back in his chair and points to the other one for me to sit down, and so I do.
...Heitor: Well, Clarissa, it really is a small world. I'm not here as your enemy, because I'm not, so I'll clarify a few things...
...Clarissa: It really is a small world. Okay, Mr. Mancini, go ahead...
...Heitor: The marriage contract is for a year and a half, we won't have a married life, it's just to keep my company going, my father's rules, I don't want to hear about betrayal, I'm very strict about that...
...Clarissa: No need to worry, Mr. Mancini, especially since I've never dated before and have no interest. If I'm accepting these terms because I want to get rid of the two outside, it must be less complicated to deal with you...
...Heitor: Wait, you've never dated before?...
...Clarissa: No, but it doesn't matter. When will I see the contract, Mr. Mancini?...
...Heitor: I'll text it to you tonight...
He takes the box and hands it to me. When I look, I see the necklace I had chosen. Fate really plays tricks.
...Clarissa: I can't accept this, sir...
...Heitor: Take it, Clarissa, it's yours. In the end, fate played with us, a gift that you yourself chose. I'm happy it was you, I believe we'll get along very well...
...Clarissa: All right, sir, I think so too...
...Heitor: Just call me Heitor...
We talked a little longer, and after about 10 minutes I leave, my sister was looking pissed off, my father was not happy either. I hide the necklace well and we left. The whole way there she was making snide remarks and cursing. As soon as we got home, I went upstairs and locked myself in my room, and thank God my life will be changing soon…
