Attending that dinner, I never expected her to be late, I hate unpunctual people, and looking at Ana for the first time left me speechless, she was so sweet in person, she seemed a little nervous, and me being an idiot all I did was ignore her and make her more uncomfortable, as the night went on I understood one thing, I understood that Ana did not know nor had any idea what her father was doing with my company and why she was here, this night so beautifully arranged.
Apparently, Mr. Maldonado was not only cheating his partners, but also his children.
I understood that this was just another negotiation where dad was putting my ass and Maldonado's ass on fire to see who would burn first, but dad failed, this guy was a man who made a living out of betraying and cheating people. For a little money, Maldonado would sell his own wife. Those bastards wanted to marry their daughter to me for money.
Our fathers were finally similar, and I accepted this for my own benefit.
I remained serious and tried not to look at her face, because just seeing the surprise and pain that everyone at this table was causing her with this news, I wanted to hit her father, but I also felt guilty for being part of all this and using the situation to save my ass.
But me, what could I do? Nothing.
It hurt to see her on the verge of crying, being strong and holding back from bursting in front of everyone when she found out, I don't know why the fuck it hurt to see her like that, it was a strange pain in my chest, with a feeling I had never experienced with a stranger, no one deserves this, but in any case we both had no choice.
I couldn't back out anymore.
I could only see her running out of the restaurant, I got up without saying anything to anyone and went after her, at least I had to comfort her, I didn't want her to know that I was following her, I just followed her for a long time until I saw her stop in a park.
I talked to her, I managed to calm her down a bit, I promised to be her friend and to clarify things little by little, I didn't offer her love, because this was an arranged marriage, it wasn't a fairy tale where I met her.
In the evening, my father asked me to take some documents to Maldonado, and I decided it was a good time to tell him that I did not want him or his wife to go near Ana after the wedding, so I made him sign a contract. Something in me wanted to see her, to know how she was and if she had stopped crying.
But I knew I had to be patient, because my parents never considered the possibility that Ana might have someone in her life. Arriving at her house and knowing she wasn't there bothered me a lot, I wanted to go get her myself and bring her back, I thought I knew where she was at that moment, I was sure she was with that idiot who called her earlier.
When the hours passed and I gave up waiting for her, she arrived with red swollen eyes, when she saw me her lips trembled and the anger reflected in her eyes, I knew that everything with the guy from the call had come to an end, I was glad, damn it, that I was glad and I didn't understand why, I could only hide my joy.
Joy that died when the guy arrived hours later, drunk, and said that she was his, I offered myself as a chauffeur so that her father would not be upset, all the while I was annoyed by his behavior with her, I wanted to get him out of the car and leave him alone to his fate. Listening to all the shit that guy said made me jealous, but I was glad to remember that she was mine and from now on she would be mine until I got tired of marriage.
Because once married, she would be my wife.
Although deep inside I was happy to have her in my arms, I also knew that I had to put an end to my relationship with Sonia Gonzalez.
Because I also had someone who loved me.
Someone who gave me everything for 4 years and was not accepted by my parents.
Ana's POV
The wedding day had come so fast, Mom was so happy that she almost didn't sleep because of all the details she had arranged with the wedding planner, maybe Mom was spending too much, after all it was Mr. Smith's money that paid for all the wedding expenses.
The centerpieces, the souvenirs for the guests, the drinks, the wedding dress that bothered me so much because Mom didn't let me choose one that I liked, it was always her opinion that was taken into account, when she asked me if I wanted white or red, she chose tulips and other silver ones that I have no idea what their names are.
Everything was chosen by Mom, Gabriel's father could only pay for her stupid whims on the pretext that I would be their daughter-in-law and they wanted the best for me.
In truth, Gabriel's mother, Mrs. Karina, was a very kind woman, she had told me a little of her love story, she had met Mr. Smith 27 years ago on a trip to the United States, he had been so fascinated by her beauty that he had followed her to Venezuela, shortly after they had married, started a family and had only one child. Gabriel was a miracle for them, as Karina was unable to conceive.
"He was so tiny, he was the sweetest, sweetest little thing, everyone in the hospital wanted to hold him, that's why I was scared." Her eyes showed love and admiration for her son. "I was afraid that they would steal him, that's why I told his father that I wanted him to be discharged, do you know why? He was from a different country than mine and I didn't want anyone to hurt Gabriel because of racism.
I spent that afternoon listening to his mother talk so much about Gabriel that I already knew a lot about his childhood, but Mrs. Karina treated me with such affection that I wanted to spend time with her.
On the morning of the wedding day, unfortunately for my mother, it had rained very heavily, and they had ordered some tents to be placed in the garden of the house where the banquet would take place, and they had set up some tables, a small dance floor, and an orchestra that Gabriel himself had hired.
Gabriel, he had been a little lost, I only saw him in the small meetings where they asked the opinion of both of us for something regarding the wedding, he had been serious and on many occasions he had refused to take me home or drive me anywhere, I felt him tense and a little worried.
The sound of the door brought me out of my thoughts and I saw my mother come in, carrying a small velvet bag in her hands.
"Ana, you look very beautiful today." She stopped in front of me and took my hands in hers. "It seems like only yesterday that I held you in my arms as a baby crying for food." A tear ran down her cheek and her voice cracked.
"Mother, I..."
"When you are married to Gabriel, you will understand why we parents do some things that are wrong in the eyes of our children." Her hands were shaking. "Ana, one day you will have to forgive me for all this, I just didn't want someone else to take my daughter."
"Mom, we are in time to change things with dad, we are in time to stop this wedding," my voice was cut off by a small sob.
"No, listen to me Ana, you are getting married today and you will be happy with your husband," Mom's hands grabbed my shoulders very tightly. She pulled a blue necklace out of a small bag. "On our wedding day you have to wear something blue and something used, this belonged to your grandmother, she gave it to me when I married your father and now I am giving it to you."
It was a very pretty necklace, a gold triangle with a diamond set in the center, giving off a pinkish hue in the light.
"Thank you." Those were my words to Mom.
I put on the necklace, but first I took off the one I was wearing and when I looked at myself in the mirror I didn't recognize myself, this was the new Ana who was going to go to the church and get married.
But I had promised to do it, it would only take 2 years, Gabriel had promised me and I wanted to believe him.
"Ana..."
I turned around at the sound of Mom's voice.
"If it's not Gabriel, it will be someone else... your father has already decided."
Then she walked out of the room, leaving this shock of surprise for me, Dad had decided to marry me a long time ago, he wants this, meaning it was always in his mind to sell me to save the company.
It took me about 20 minutes to calm down and become serene again when there was a knock on the door, it was Liz the wedding planner, it was time for the ceremony.
When I went to the aisle, it was full of girls I didn't know, with very nice bridesmaid dresses and all, but someone caught my attention when I saw so many girls, it was Natalia who was trying not to cry when she saw me.
"Nati, don't cry," I approached her to give her a hug.
"Oh my Ana, you look so beautiful, you are such a princess." When the hug broke, Natalia gave me her best smile. "Your boyfriend is very handsome, if you don't want him give him to me okay."
A throat clearing from Liz made us laugh, she was as stubborn as my father.
"It's time to go back to your places."
Natalia went back to her place in line and I took my place, I had asked mom to take me to the altar, I didn't want to see my father and Andrew had refused to take part in this circus, he had left the house and we didn't know where he was. My heart was racing and my hands were sweating, at the end of the aisle was this handsome man in his black tuxedo, so chiseled to his body, God Gabriel was so handsome he could drive any woman crazy. When I arrived next to him he gave me a beautiful smile, he had been so serious and distant for days that I thought he would be like that forever or that he was pretending to offer me his friendship, but this was the Gabriel who had spoken to me after dinner. "You look beautiful, Ana," his voice was a whisper that made my skin crawl."You look very handsome, Gabriel," my voice was also a nervous whisper. The father started the wedding, we said our vows, which were written for us, because none of the words spoken reflected the feelings of both of us,
Ana's POV"No, everything's fine, I'll tell Marcela to heat up dinner for you," I said, getting up and leaving the bedroom.The truth was it was 9:15 and I had eaten many hours ago thinking he would not arrive, so days ago I had told Marcela not to make food for Gabriel since he always ended up voting.He was upstairs taking a bath. I prepared a nice dinner for him and put some on a plate for me, I did not want to leave him alone in the dining room, being there in silence usually frightens me. When I went downstairs the food was already served and Gabriel started to eat, I think if I keep eating like this I will start to roll, who knows, I could also end up in the bathtub with Gabriel giving us a bubble bath or I could be taken to jail for raping my husband, a laugh escaped me because of my crazy thoughts. This man is untouchable, after dinner I picked up all the ducks and took them to the kitchen and left everything in the dishwasher.It was so exhausting and I really didn't know wh
I wasn't prepared to face questions from any other woman than Ana, the blonde, she looked very curious, Ana, although she didn't ask any questions either, I didn't know what to tell her if she asked her about what happened on the day of the honeymoon, because it was true that I had spent all that time with Sonia and no matter how much I wanted to go back to the hotel I couldn't find a single excuse.Sonia was the reason why my relationship with my parents was so fragile at that moment; my father threatened to take away everything he had on the wedding day if he found out that I was making Ana an unhappy woman.But the happiness of the other person who suffers because of me, where does that leave me? I have to be selfish with a person who loves me even though I am marrying someone who is not her.It was easy to give orders and commands, but it was very difficult to carry them out.Ana's POVSince Natalia showed up at my house only two days have passed and our conversation went nowhere,
Ana's POVI was actually very disappointed that I didn't get any calls or messages from Gabriel all day and night at Natalia's house, it wasn't that he and I talked much, but he always tends to send me the occasional message.Natalia, on the other hand, was a bit obnoxious and unfriendly to me, but she made me some sandwiches and we quickly fell into a friendly, safe and happy atmosphere with nine degrees of fighting. In the morning I said goodbye to her because I had to go home, she was a married woman and it didn't look good for me to sleep in a different house from my husband.I get out of the car, before Rafa opens the door for me, I see the red car in front of the house and for a moment the thought crosses my mind that my husband has bought another car, so I enter the house in a hurry, because a short time ago I told Gabriel that I did not like the car, so happy and satisfied I enter the living room.But the picture in the middle of the living room does not please me, a woman I
I carefully take her to the bed, I watch how she closes her eyes and hides her gaze from me, while I spread her legs and bring my face close to her sex above the fabric of her panties, I feel the tiny wet thong and even move it aside to caress that part with my tongue, her hips arch, I devour her with passion, I penetrate her with my fingers, her screams and moans fill the bedroom, it's like listening to a beautiful song. I leave the position, I take her lips as I tear the thong, I leave her lip, I get off the bed and quickly undress, I feel her eyes on my cock, I want her to suck it and swallow my cum fuck, it would be nice to be in that mouth, but I would explode if I didn't come in her.I placed myself between her legs and watched her waiting for a sign of denial, but I only get me with her lips, seeking mine and being herself with her hand to take me to penetrate her.It was fucking heaven.It was the best thing in the world and I didn't want to leave.I rolled over on the bed,
Ana's POV"I doubt it Ana, as Gabriel himself said, you are just a stranger he has to pretend to be happy with for a while, nothing more, you are the woman his father and yours, beggar, starving, sold to go to another country and who helped him not to lose his company, that's what you are for him." She looks at me and smiles. "I'm sorry if you didn't know that your parents left the country."She turns and starts to leave, I still haven't processed the words well, who the hell is the man I'm marrying? Before my tears came out, I quickly went to the club, when I got to the entrance of the club, I bumped into someone, my wet eyes didn't let me see well, when I looked in front of me all I could do was kiss the person who had imprisoned me in his arms.His lips move fiercely on mine, with urgency, passion and desire, he takes my lower lip, biting it, I moan in protest and cradle his neck, pressing him closer to my body, I was so needy to feel loved by him, I didn't hold back, my mind was c
Ana's POVSix months later"Can you please turn that thing off," Gabriel says in an annoyed tone as he gets out of bed."You couldn't turn it off for me," I say, pushing the alarm clock aside to go back to sleep."I wasn't the one who set that thing to go off at 4 a.m.""What, 4 a.m.?" I grabbed the alarm clock and looked at the time, by God I was absolutely right, it was 4 a.m. "I swear it wasn't me, I'm sorry."But the truth was I hadn't done it, although lately I would do anything to screw up Gabriel's life.I stood up and stared at my husband, his body was in his underwear, I could see his hard chest, sculpted from long hours at the gym and well-marked, I knew because one day I touched it and I knew it was my husband's body.Since the day Gabriel said he had slept with Sonia, I have changed a lot with him, I am no longer the Ana Gafa who thought her husband would love her one day. Not only was I responsible for making things right, I got married, I live in a pretend marriage and I
Ana's POV"I think good, I'm glad to see you, it's been three months since I looked at you and knowing that you still remember me makes me happy.""Yes, it's just that I've had a lot of work at the company and it's hardly important for me to come and bring the reports anymore Does Gabriel know you're here?""Well, the truth is I came without him knowing, maybe the bodyguards already told him that I escaped from them at the mall and they must be looking for me like crazy." I let out a laugh.But my laughter was not returned, Lian was very serious."I won't be able to visit you anymore, I think this will be the last date, Ana," Lian said suddenly, which surprised me. "You know, it hurts to come to see you every three months and know that he treats you worse every day, I'm tired of telling you to ask him for a divorce, but it seems that you are in love with him, because you don't even want to ask him for a divorce anymore".It's true, the idea of asking for a divorce was Lian’s, and yes,
