My sister won't stop bothering me, saying that I stole her husband, when all along she was the one who gave up. I'm a little happy, knowing that I won't see her anytime soon. Right now, I'm here working on the computer and checking my email, until one catches my attention. I click to see what it is and see that it's the contract.

...Contract off...
After reading that, I was impressed. The only thing I didn't like was having to quit my job and ask permission to go out. Later I'll send him a message, saying that I don't agree with this term. I look at my cell phone, which had just beeped, and see that it's a message from Heitor.
...Message on...
...Heitor• I would like to meet you....
...Clarissa• Sure, what day and time?...
...Heitor• Tomorrow, at 12:00, we'll have lunch together....
...Clarissa•Ok....
As soon as I see what time it is, I immediately run to start making dinner. I can't wait for this to be over. I go down the stairs desperately. I arrive in the kitchen and start preparing a vegetable soup. It was the fastest and most practical thing, and if they think it's bad, they can go to the stove. I start cutting the vegetables that I was going to use. After 25 minutes, everything was ready. Daniel arrives just as I start putting the plates and soup on the table. He looks at me with contempt. I serve myself and leave without saying anything at all. I go to my room and eat there. When I finish, I go down and wash the dirty dishes. Out of nowhere, my hair is grabbed.
...Daniel• Why are you getting involved with your sister, you little tramp?...
...Clarissa• What are you talking about? I didn't do anything at all....
...Daniel• Always the saint, you'll see....
He takes off his belt, and starts hitting me all over my body. It was getting purple. The tears streamed down my face. It felt like an eternity. I try to push him away, but he was stronger. Valentina just laughed at the situation. When I get a break, I knock him down and run away. I run up to my room and lock the door. He was yelling from outside. I go to the bathroom and take a long shower, crying. When the water touched my skin, it started to burn. I was in agony. I finish the shower and dry myself very carefully. I put on some light clothes and go to sleep...
...****************...
...The next day....
Today I woke up earlier, made everyone coffee, and went straight to my room. I didn't want to run into them in the morning. My whole body ached and, worst of all, I literally didn't know what to do. The sun was burning like fire, and I was going to have to wear winter clothes to hide these marks. I'm reading a book. I don't notice the time passing. I get up quickly and take a quick shower. As soon as I finish, I decide to put on leggings and a beige long-sleeved shirt. I put on my perfume and grab my purse.
I leave my room and run into Valentina, who looks me up and down and puts her hand on her hip.
...Valentina• Where is the little slut going?...
...Clarissa• None of your business, you harlot...
I leave without letting her speak. I go down quickly. I go to the bus stop. In about 5 minutes, it arrives. I pay my fare and go to the back. I sit down, my mind far away. About half an hour later, the bus arrives. I get off at my stop, look at the restaurant, and see my future husband standing there. I walk in his direction. As I approach, he smiles.
...Heitor• You look wonderful...
...Clarissa•Thank you, you look wonderful too....
We go in, and we're shown to our table. As soon as we sit down, a waiter hands us the menu. Once I've chosen and he has chosen the same thing, which is mashed potatoes with filet mignon and a red wine.
...Heitor• So tell me a little about yourself, Clarissa....
...Clarissa• Anything specific you want to know?...
...Heitor• Do you get along with your family?...
...Clarissa• Don't you get along with yours?...
...Heitor• Yes, you said you've never dated....
...Clarissa• Never, I didn't have time or interest...
...Heitor•I understand....
He runs his eyes all over me, but fixes them right on my arm, where my sleeve had ridden up a little. His face fell.
...Heitor• What's that, Clarissa?...
...Clarissa• It's nothing...
...Heitor•Let me see...
...Clarissa• You don't need to worry...
...Heitor•Let me see....
He wasn't asking, he was ordering, and something told me I could trust him. I pull up the sleeve of my shirt. His face was burning. He called the waiter and paid the bill without us even eating. He takes my hand.
...Heitor•I'm only going to ask you this once, and you're going to tell me who did this. Who was it, Clarissa?...
...Clarissa•My father, but you don't have to worry. I'm used to it....
...Heitor• You don't have to get used to it. Since he likes to hit women, let's see what he thinks about getting hit too....
He storms out. As soon as we get outside the restaurant, it's full of paparazzi. We manage to escape and go to his company. As soon as we step inside, everyone's eyes are on us. And no wonder, we're holding hands. We go up to his office. He tells his secretary that he doesn't want to be disturbed, and so she does. He locks us in the office…..
