Episode 5

Nathan:

As soon as she gets home, I'll go to the office and call my lawyer, Richard Tompson.

"Richard, I want you to investigate Josh Carter, Kate Belquior, and Tim Brook. I want you to turn their lives inside out. I want to know absolutely everything about them. And is the prenuptial agreement ready?"

"Yes, as requested. You will marry under complete separation of assets, but you will cede 20% of Moore Corporation's shares and some properties already listed here. The girl will have a very advantageous divorce. I just don't understand why."

"Because I took advantage of a moment of her fragility. It's not that I'm buying a bride, but I took advantage of her moment of pain to ask for her help, and the fairest thing is that I repay her in some way. She won't spend part of her life by my side without gaining something from it."

"All right, Nathan, if that's what you want. I've prepared the share donation certificate, and you sign it as soon as you get back from Las Vegas. Anything else?"

"Yes, I want you to analyze this power of attorney. What powers does Tim have over Maya's assets?"

After a few minutes, he hands the papers back to me.

"This is a simple power of attorney that grants Tim Brook the right to manage Maya's assets, but he cannot dispose of or appropriate the assets. It's a good power of attorney."

"I want to know if it gives him the power to evict Maya from her own home."

"Of course not. According to the documents attached here, all properties and the company are in her name. He has no right to evict her from the properties."

"I want this power of attorney revoked, and prepare a power of attorney in my name so that I can manage her assets for six months. That's how long I'll need to train and teach her everything she needs to take command of her company."

"Anything else?"

"I want you to seek the services of a personal stylist to create an exclusive wardrobe for Maya. Spare no expense, I want her bedroom closet full of clothes, shoes, accessories, and jewelry of the best quality and exclusive."

"I'll do as you ask. To make a power of attorney in your name, I will need her signature. I've already made one quickly here on my laptop and sent it to your printer. I need to request Maya Brook's signature."

"I'll have her called."

I pick up my phone and call the kitchen, asking one of the maids to go to Maya's room and ask her to come to the office. After explaining that I want a power of attorney to manage her assets, she signs.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yes, I'm ready. I never imagined that my dream of getting married again in a church would end up like this, marrying a stranger in Las Vegas."

"Your dream is not over, Maya, it's just postponed. It's not because you're going to have a civil wedding that your dream will die. When we divorce, if you find your true love, you can have the wedding of your dreams. Don't let people destroy your dreams. This is a very beautiful dream that will still come true, and I want to be there to witness your happiness," I say, drying the tears from her face that insisted on falling.

"Thank you, Nathan. You are a very special man."

"That's how I want to see you, smiling instead of crying."

After a few hours of flight, we arrived in Las Vegas, and as it was already night, we decided to leave the wedding for the next day. So I decided to take her sightseeing, going to some casinos, and we gambled, and she even won a good amount. It had been a long time since I had so much fun. Maya is a wonderful woman, so sweet, kind, and fun. We'll be good friends, I have many plans for her. As time went by and she loosened up more, I ended up discovering that the scoundrel Josh wanted to turn her into a housewife, and that's why he convinced her not to continue her studies and to hand over the management of her assets to her father. I think it's a scam by the two of them to steal everything she has, but I'm going to teach her to defend herself against scammers like Josh and many others who may cross her path. This disappointment will be just a lesson that will serve her to become a great woman. I hope to do business with her company as soon as she can take over. Let's raise that company together and make her a great businesswoman, just like my grandmother was. I wish my grandmother would spend a little more time and give Maya some teachings, with her life experience and all her wisdom, she could give her lessons to survive in this macho and cruel world where men use women.

"Nathan, I'm talking to you."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I was distracted."

"I was thanking you for the wonderful day I spent with you. It's been a long time since I had so much fun, and I've never won so much money in a single day. I mean, besides my inheritance, of course."

"Put that money in a savings account in your company's name."

"I'll see about that later, but I think we'd better go to sleep now, otherwise, I'll show up with huge dark circles at our wedding tomorrow."

I agree with her. We say goodbye and go to sleep, and early in the morning, at 9:00, we are both in front of the wedding center, confirming our vows and sealing our union. At the end of the ceremony, we had to give a light kiss so that no one would realize that this marriage was not real. And even though it was not in a church, I decided to give her a white dress as a present, so she could get married like a real bride.

Today is the beginning of a new life for her and the fulfillment of my grandmother's request. I hope she survives to see my wife.
