One month laterI was nervous; the big day had arrived, when Nick and I would be united in marriage, the last few weeks had been very stressful, first to reach an agreement on the type of celebration we wanted. He convinced me to do it in Tuscany and I convinced him not to invite numerous people, so we limited the invitation to only eighty people, mostly family, some friends of mine and Nick's and some of his most important partners because if it were up to him, he would have invited half of Europe to the celebration.On the other hand, no matter how much I refused, I couldn't stop myself from hiring an army of stylists, makeup artists, designers, who prepared me as if I were a royal bride.I looked at myself in the mirror, I was wearing a beautiful beige dress that fit my body, mermaid cut, V”shaped neckline in the front and an A”line in the back, exposing my back, long sleeves with lace, Valentino shoes, in beige, with exquisite details of jewels and handmade embroidery.My hairstyl
I was nervous, I thought he would back out, and I closed my eyes just waiting for his refusal, when I felt his knuckles on my cheek caressing me.“ You are mine, Sophi! Only mine, never forget it, what's mine I don't share, I will never leave you! “He exclaimed in a passionate and possessive tone.We then joined hands and Nick pronounced his vows: “I, Nickólas Philipo Sebastini Papandreu, take you Sophìa Alexandra Madrid Peralta as my only and lawful wedded wife, I give myself to you in body, soul and heart and promise to be faithful to you in sickness and in health, in fortune and in hardship, in moments of joy and in anguish, I promise to love, protect and care for you for the rest of my life and until my last moment of life on this earth and even beyond my death," he said, looking at me with an intensity that made multiple butterflies flutter in my stomach as he placed the ring on my finger.I, Sophia Alexandra Madrid Peralta, accept and receive you, Nickolas Philipo Sebastini Papa
We left our honeymoon trip, took Nick's jet to Athens, which took about two hours from where we were. From there we took a helicopter to a Greek island.When we left for the island, he mentioned to me: “. Where we are going to spend our honeymoon, is an island of my property, inherited from my maternal grandfather, called Papandreu. It was the only thing that was saved from my mother's squandering because my grandfather put it in my name before he died.“Your grandfather must have had a lot of money to have an island named after him," I commented naively, but apparently my words were not to his liking, he did not answer me, he just grimaced.As we approached our destination, the small island was a paradise, with beautiful blue waters of the majestic Mediterranean Sea, fine sand, a variety of landscapes, abundant vegetation and imposing mountains. I had never seen such beauty, a small colorful village hidden among the mountains could be seen from the air. We flew over the island before
We were sitting by the pool having some refreshing drinks, when Nick received a call from his company's head office in Rome, informing him of a problem that had arisen at one of his construction company's branches in London, where his presence was urgently required, apparently there had been a construction accident that had left several workers injured.Although we still had several days left to finish our honeymoon, we had to suspend it and prepare our return. Nick, since you are going to London, I would like to go to Barcelona to visit my family, so as not to stay alone in Florence, it is a city I don't know at all, besides I will be surrounded by strangers" I proposed, but by his gesture I knew that the idea was not to his liking.“Sophia, you have learned to move sufficiently in Florence, besides, how are you going to know the people if you don't share with them, I consider that it is not a good idea for you to go to Spain, your place is in Italy, in our home and there you must wa
Without wasting any time, I left the office and went upstairs to the room I was occupying with that bastard Nick. I looked only for my wallet, I could not take any suitcase with me, but I wanted Nick's security men or other employees to notice my escape and warn him. Because if that happened, they would inform him immediately, and he would order them to stop me from leaving.I had to act cunningly, I had to pretend that I was going for a walk around the city and avoid by all means that they wanted to accompany me.I was just finishing putting some things in my purse when my cell phone rang, when I checked the call it was my brother.“ Hello Mauro Andres, little brother, what a joy to hear your voice! “I exclaimed anxiously, but at the same time with relief because I could tell someone what was happening to me.“ Hello my child, why that voice? What's going on, princess? “she asked without being able to simulate the concern in her voice.“I need to get out of this house Mauro, please,
I had spent that couple of days with vomiting, dizziness, added to the deep sadness that nestled in my heart. Mauro, worried about my condition, convinced me to go to the doctor and although at first, I refused, after listening to him, I ended up accepting because in my fourteen weeks of pregnancy I had only gone for a check” up once, after I heard the news.My brother called the health center himself and made an appointment with a gynecologist and, not satisfied with that, he accompanied me to my first ultrasound.The doctor told me that everything was perfect, I had entered the fifteenth week, she sent me vitamins and gave me a couple of pictures of my baby's echo, both Mauro and I were excited.As we left the clinic, he grabbed my face and kissed me, saying: "Princess of my heart, you make me the happiest man in the world, I'm going to have a nephew, I'm going to be an uncle! A son of my little sister, the youngest of the Madrid, I can't believe it! “He expressed his amazement.“I
Her pale face gave the impression that she would vanish at any moment, she remained static for a few seconds and when she reacted, she pretended to break free from my grip, but I held her tighter.“Nick, you're hurting me," she said with a worried expression.“What about what you are doing to me? You left the house without anyone noticing, and for what? To come with you...”I interrupted myself because my anger was getting out of control, I inhaled through my nose and exhaled through my mouth often, looking for a way to appease my demons and continued talking “You come with me right now, or I swear I will destroy the face and the life of that damned bastard”. I shouted violently, pointing to the building where her lover lived.She watched me with fear and her eyes moistened with tears that were ready to come out, all because she was worried about what I would do to that idiot.“Why would you hurt him? You're so jealous that you won't let me relate to him” I couldn't believe this woman
I watched him expectantly, there were so many mixed feelings stirring inside me. On the one hand, I was relieved that he knew the truth about the child we were expecting, but also in my ignorance I thought he would become more possessive; however, I never imagined that what came next would happen.“I asked between surprised and relieved; however, my sixth sense activated and told me that things were not resolved in a good way as I expected, but I ignored and dismissed those thoughts and to prove that this hunch was not true, I added, "as you already know then I'll show you the echoes.I walked to the room where I had left my purse when I arrived, Nick followed me closely and when I had it in my hands I opened it, I lowered my head and began to look for the echoes of my baby that I had kept there when the doctor gave them to me, and innocently I said “, our son is born in spring at the end of March or beginning of April. Don't you think it's exciting! It's a boy! I exclaimed happily.H
