Episode 4

Alexander nodded, he wants to talk about this with the girls, they shouldn't be surprised like that, but also, there's the issue of the house, your workshop is there too, it's their livelihood, how would he support his girls, without knowing that his possible wife is disgustingly rich, a strong and dangerous CEO, although no one knows her because she had always hidden herself to not overshadow the idiot Arnold, well now she would crush everyone with the help of her sweet possible family.

While they were talking, behind the door of the living room, Belle and Samira were listening to the conversation, Samira was dying of joy, finally a mom is going to take her to school, Belle on the other hand blushed when remembering how kind Bernarda is, besides that she felt very protected when she taught her how to deal with menstruation.

With mischievous smiles, both had made the decision for the adults, they wanted Bernarda to marry their dad, she would be their mom, period.

Bernarda on that occasion made it clear that she didn't have money, that she only worked in a corporate company, but what her uncle offered her was to be able to leave her toxic family and take revenge on two despicable people who had caused her great pain.

Of course Alex believed her, her clothes were modest and that car couldn't give any more, so he didn't doubt that Bernarda was the poor one in the family and that her uncle, just wanted to help her as well as him. The next day, Alex spoke with his girls when they returned from school, he was really nervous, however, he saw that the girls accepted more than immediately, so things would be just as Bernarda's uncle had predicted, besides, it was clear, the reason why he asked Bernarda to do that route every day at that time, had an objective that had also already been fulfilled.

A week later, in the civil registry, Bernarda married the handsome Alexander, both were nervous, she had to take her things out to live with her new family, the girls wore their best dresses endearing the young woman who without realizing it her cold heart warmed little by little when seeing the girls.

The prenuptial agreement was quite clear, each with their own, nothing would be distributed in equal parts, it was better that way, however, Bernarda wanted to give them many things, even if little by little.

In addition, they also talked about something very important.

"Alex, I want us to talk about the intimate topic, I know it's a marriage of contract, however, I know that men have needs, but I'm going to be clear with you, even if it's a marriage of convenience, I don't admit deceptions, I don't want to be a cuckold and I demand fidelity from you on this topic, even if our marriage lasts a year or a little more, I don't want to be the laughingstock of people," she said while the rancor in her heart rose again, being mocked and humiliated for so long and that no one wants to believe her or dismiss her words was still a great pain.

Bernarda sighed and said in a clear and bold way, she herself was surprised by the decision she had made, however, that did not prevent her cheeks from turning red like tomatoes, she was ashamed but also determined.

"Alex, if it seems good to you, and you find me attractive, I could give in to us having intimacy when you require it, it's not a sacrifice or anything, but if you have needs I prefer you come to me and don't be seen accompanied by another woman, that would really hurt me," she said trying to be as sincere as possible.

However, Alex who was pale, suddenly turned red as a shrimp, he was a 30-year-old man, rude, strong, tall like a Viking, however, Bernarda made him blush like a 16-year-old boy, he didn't understand, but how could he refuse? He doesn't want to be misinterpreted, if he rejects her, it would be admitting that he doesn't like her at all, which is not true, but if he accepts, it would be a more complicated situation, since Bernarda had gotten into his mind since he saw her.

Like everything in life, there are moments when the body betrays, Alex nodded immediately, making Bernarda blush again, she with a broken heart and soul, was lying to herself, of course Alex liked her much more than she thought and even more when he spoke softly and looked like a big teddy bear.

"Alex, I just ask you to let me know a day in advance, it's for work, so I can adjust my times and come home early, I don't want to stand you up," she said almost in a whisper while Alex looked away, he didn't know how he was talking about this, just like that.

"The..., the girls are very astute, so that they are not aware, I..., will say that I will make dinner the next day, that will be the way to notify you and you..., you can do the same, I really don't want to bother you so much, I'm not one for great passions," he said while Bernarda nodded still red as a tomato.

With that agreement, they would have things to do to adapt, especially Bernarda.

Angelica or Angy, is her assistant, she had been by her side since Bernarda divorced and decided to participate in the board meetings, she had shares in her family's company and in the Davis's, she would not lose that for anything in the world, but that had a cost, she had to see Arnold and Sisi all the time when she was in those meetings, but since that Monday she was the largest shareholder in the Davis family, her shares plus her uncle's shares makes her the top boss, not to mention that now she had her uncle's companies, but she didn't worry much about them, those companies were in good hands, she was looking for Revenge, of that bastard Arnold, of her parents who preferred to ignore her pain to lick the floor of the Davis, of her older brother who instead of protecting her, told her that she should have known, Sisi was the love of Arnold and she only a pawn on the chessboard, she would take revenge on everyone.

Alex repaired Bernarda's car, they slept in separate rooms, the little utility room of Alex's house became Bernarda's bedroom, although Alex wanted to give her his room since it was bigger, Bernarda refused outright, it was for a reason, the little room was next to the girls, she realized that she can hear what those rowdy girls are talking about and she wants to know more, she wants to help them, although her cold and detached character doesn't help, she is willing to put in effort.
