[HOURS LATER]There is the sound of the house doorbell, and I immediately get incredibly nervous. Lucas gets up to open the door, and I don't know if the first to arrive are his parents or if mine will come first. I exchange glances with Alejandro and notice that he is just as or more nervous than I am."Good pomeriggio!" I listen to Carlo, who, seeing me next to Alejandro, falls silent. They both exchange glances, and I can swear that it is not the first time they have seen each other. Perhaps they also knew Alejandro Ferrara, the successful yacht salesman. "You?" his father asks as he walks over to us.Laura and Lucas approach us, but realizing the situation, they remain still. "He..." Laura tries to say."I don't understand what you're doing here." Lucas's father says.Lucas approaches his father and puts one of his hands on his shoulder. "We have to tell you some things about who Alejandro is and what Lucía was really doing," he tries to explain. "Have a seat, will you?" he propos

3 days laterThe difference between my former wedding and this one is about to happen is huge. The dress this time has been my choice as well as every detail of the ceremony and party decoration. Both of us tested the guest list and the food menu.On this occasion, my feelings when I see myself in front of the mirror, dressed as a bride, are entirely different.

"Come in!" I say loud enough so they can hear me.The double doors of this elegant hotel room open, and my father enters through them dressed in a smart t

As a child, I often dreamed of my wedding day and the party to celebrate my union with the man I love. Many things happened after that. A romance full of deceit with Ramiro, an obligatory wedding with Lucas, and now this new ceremony, the most legitimate not only because it has been under the blessing of God and the law. But also because it was for love, boy, I love this man!I have gone from hate to love and then to understanding. I have questioned many times if I really deserved it, but how imperfect it has been led us to love each other in this profound way. One that today is reflected in that blue gaze that struck me from the first moment I saw Lucas.His hands on my waist and mine on his shoulders as we dance this first dance as husband and wife gives me a unique feeling I have never felt. Perhaps because of what this represents or because we both feel complete today. Our lives have changed a lot in all this time. Not only did I live trapped in what I believed was his revenge, bu
