After an intense 34-hour flight from Moscow to Trapani, we finally landed. Despite the jet being private, I was exhausted. I wanted to know how my father was doing with all of this. I hope my future husband will be kind and allow me to have contact with him. We landed on a private runway next to their mansion; the place was beautiful, the city simply perfect, surrounded by the sea!
The Salvatore house is incredible, taking up almost an entire mountain, and the view of the city is splendid. I look at everything carefully; it won't be difficult to love this place at all!
We walk to the entrance of the house; a young lady comes to greet me, smiling. I was apprehensive; I don't know anyone here and don't know how to act in a situation like this.
Rosa: "Buona giornata, ragazze."
Maya: "Ah, sorry, I don't speak Italian!"
Rosa: "I said good morning, dear. How was your trip?"
Maya: "Good morning! It was tiring!"
Rosa: "Oh, I imagine, come dear, I'll show you to your room. My name is Rosangela, but I like to be called Rosa."
I smile at her.
Maya: "Okay, Rosa, I'm Maya."
Rosa: "Welcome..." — We walk side by side; I look at everything. I've never seen a place as beautiful as this.
Maya: "Thank you, Rosa, is everything this beautiful here?"
Rosa: "Oh dear, you'll love it."
We entered the house, which looked more like a condominium full of houses inside one. It was all very luxurious and huge. She takes me to every corner of the house, showing me everything, takes me to one of the four living rooms, then we go to the kitchen, bathroom, gym, movie theater, and about 50 bedrooms. Rosa is a love; she talked to me and said she is available to me at any time of day. Rosa is incredible; I already like her. We went upstairs.
Rosa: "Well dear, until the wedding at the end of the week, you'll stay in this room, then you'll move to the master bedroom with your husband."
I look at her, afraid of that word. I take a deep breath and nod. She then smiles, opening the door for me. It was a beautiful room, well-lit and with an incredible view of the city! The decor was in light tones. Super cute.
Rosa: "Here you have everything you need, my dear! Your closet is full. If you want to take a bath and rest a little, you'll meet my boy tonight!"
My heart seems to leap out of my mouth; meeting Rafael scares me a little. How can I treat him like my husband when I only saw him when we were children? I shake my head in affirmation; she leaves the room. I'm going to explore a little bit of this palace that was my room. I go into the closet and take a look; they had prepared everything for me, it seems like they knew me from top to bottom, waist measurements, bust, and even my shoe size; it was scary. I don't even know how to dress to meet my fiance! Is he handsome? Generous?
Oh, so many unanswered questions swirling in my head! I grab my cell phone and call my father.
Start of call...
Angelo: "Hello..."
Maya: "Dad, it's me! I'm okay!"
Angelo: "Thank God, daughter..."
End of call...
Man: "Didn't I tell you not to bring anything?"
He takes the cell phone from my hand.
Maya: "I just wanted to let my father know that I'm okay."
Man: "Your husband will decide if you can or not. Now, he told me to let you know to be ready at 8."
Maya: "Okay."
He leaves the room, taking my cell phone with him. I decide to go take a bath. I grab my things and go to the bathroom, which was bigger than my house. There was a huge bathtub with various bath salts next to it; I turn it on and put a little of each in, making a lot of foam. I get in and take a relaxing bath.
Rafael narrating...
I was in bed with Thays when they informed me that the so-called Maya is at my house. My mood changes from one moment to the next.
Rafael: "She's here!"
Thays gets out of my arms, still naked.
Thays: "Already? Rafael, I can't stand this."
Rafael: "Calm down, my love. This marriage will be nothing more than a facade!"
Thays: "Let's run away, love, let's get out of here, just the two of us?" - She holds my face, caressing me and looking at me with tears in her eyes.
Rafael: "You know I can't, I will take over the mafia, I can't, we've already talked about this."
Thays: "I don't believe it, Rafael. I wasn't born to be anyone's mistress."
Rafael: "If you really love me, you'll have to be!"
Thays: "I hate this girl." - She yells.
Rafael: "I know, but I won't let her interfere with our life; I promise you, nothing will change between us."
Thays: "Promise?" - She looks at me, pouting.
Rafael: "Of course, I love you and only you." - I kiss her.
Rafael: "I will have her in my hands, Thays; she will be an obedient wife; she will not interfere in anything, I swear."
Thays looks at me apprehensively; I hug her! I won't let anyone interfere with my love for Thays; she's the one I love; this Maya will only be my wife on paper.
Rafael: "Now I have to go. But I'll be back, I swear."
I kiss her, get up, and get dressed.
