The Ceo’s proposal

-No, no, no, no… they left, didn’t they? -Eros looks at me indicating that he has no idea if they are still here. -They left.

-Madam… they told me personally to bring them breakfast in the room, that the young lady was indisposed.

-Stop it. -I said annoyed. -You are not taking anything to her room.

-Yes, ma’am.

-Bianca, if they are here, I don’t see the problem that they want….

-Eros, even we don’t do that in this house, we have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the dining room, not in the bedroom. -He justifies it by saying that it never happened because we didn’t want it, if we wanted the maids would do it. -No. I’d rather eat here than in bed, that’s for lazy people.

-When I met you weren’t you?

-Eros, I had just been run over when I got here. Are you forgetting? -Eros started choking on his mouthful and then spit it into the trash can -Are you okay?

-Yeah, it’s just… the fruit fell kind of heavy on me. -His demeanor was not the same -Well, we must hurry or we will be late, remember that it is important….

-Punctuality. I know. But how will we leave if those women are here, I don’t trust them, how about they do something in the house while we’re gone .

-What? You think they can cast some kind of spell or summon the devil. -that wasn’t funny at all -Don’t be paranoid. So, tell me, do you want them to come with us or do you want them to stay here and not ruin the party?

-Well…

-Party? -I curse inside when I hear Melissa -I want to go, do you want to take me?

I was puzzled because how come she was fine, as if nothing had happened to her, ha, I knew it. I knew she was faking it.

-Wow, you recover so fast.

-My mom took me to the hospital this morning while you were sleeping, they did some tests to make sure I don’t have a venereal disease, my mom will pick her up in a little while, they told me about the party.

I prefer her to come with us than to cause me problems while we are not at home, Eros was already in the car and our new driver opens the door with a smile so I could get in and go to the meeting, but when I saw Melissa insinuating herself to Eros I cleared my throat to let him know she was here.

Ignoring her, Eros approached me and took Isabel in his arms, he kisses her on each cheek and our daughter smiles, “still little and she knows how much her father loves her” but apparently, someone doesn’t like that he is happy with his daughter.

-What’s the matter Melissa, don’t you like children? And to think you faked a pregnancy to get my fiance’s attention.

Melissa makes a gesture of displeasure when I told her truths in her face, no matter how hard she tried to get Eros’ attention, she couldn’t get it since her daughter, had it completely and not even I compete with her for his attention.

We had arrived at a private park, it is very popular in the city and is only requested by the rich for their events or family gatherings.

-All right. -Eros’ mother appears and when she sees Isabel, she extends her arms to receive her. -How is grandma’s precious baby? How is she?… there my beautiful girl, you look so much like me.

-She’s crazy. She definitely looks like me.

-Mommy? -I had no idea she’d be here too. -Why didn’t you tell me you were here?

-Your driver brought me here earlier, don’t worry. Here, give me my granddaughter.

My mother takes the girl and annoyed Eros’ mother gives her to her, both of them walked away from us while they argue about the baby, when I hear Eros’ laugh I am surprised because he is not much of a laugher like that.

Melissa rolls her eyes and turns away from us and joins the conversation of a group of women who were talking and she is sure to start being the snake she is by talking trash about me.

-I never thought my mother would be such a loving grandmother.

-Neither did I, I just hope she doesn’t want to control our daughter’s life.

-Yes. -Suddenly she takes me by the hand -It’s time for our wedding to begin.

-What? -My mouth is a big O. Our wedding?

When I see where he points I freeze when I see the decoration “I didn’t notice the decoration or the father that was here” I laugh nervous and surprised at the same time, I didn’t expect this, this surprise is… unbelievable.

-Tell me I’m not dreaming.

-You’re not -Take my hands and leave a kiss on each one -All this time I was coming home late, I was making sure that everything was in order for this day. And that’s why I worked late last night, I wanted this day off just for us.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

In disbelief I cover my face with my hands as I feel my tears threaten to come out of my eyes, I couldn’t believe that a man could have this kind of detail with me, when I was getting married to my ex, I was the one who took care of everything and he showed no interest in the wedding.

I threw myself on him in a kiss because of the emotion I felt, I was so happy that I couldn’t stop hugging and kissing him non-stop.

-You don’t know how much I love you.

I can’t stand that stupid, I can’t even stand that hateful baby, it was to be me who would give Eros a son, that was my dream to make him a father for the first time. But of course, my dream was given to someone else who doesn’t even deserve it.

That’s why I’m not going to let them have fun this afternoon, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her isolated from Eros’ family and make her feel like everyone wants me as his future wife and not her. If she feels rejected of course she will think things over and want to leave him.

-Oh my dear, you are still as beautiful as ever.

-Thank you, Mrs. Rosa,” Mrs. Rosa was Eros’ favorite aunt, “I always did my best to make her nephew see me as beautiful.

-That’s right, -Waves her hand in disappointment -It’s a pity they broke up.

-But I heard that his future wife is so beautiful that he is madly in love with her,” said Mrs. Reina, Eros’ paternal aunt. -He even prepared this family reunion to surprise her.

-Surprise her? -What are you talking about?

-You don’t know, my dear. This meeting is her wedding.

-No. -I laugh hiding my anger. -No, no… you must be mistaken, he said it was a family reunion that his mother organized.

-Obviously he must have lied so she wouldn’t notice. -No. This can’t be happening. -Oh, come on ladies, the wedding is about to start.
