Two years earlierWedding day"What God has joined together let no man put asunder, he may kiss the bride." Declared the officiant.Benjamin reached up to kiss his girlfriend's mouth, but she pushed it away in a gesture of irritation.Immediately the media began to take pictures of them, people ran from one side to the other and minutes later the headlines of the digital and written press were not long in coming."The son″in″law of the Celedóns is a nobody. Do they really want us to believe that it was the ugly one who left the relationship with the Andersons? The first news was true, she had no choice but to marry a useless man".Benjamin watched the news, as his father″in″law approached.″I booked them a hotel for the wedding night, but to pay for it, you must first clean all the rooms on the upper floor, you'll see if you want it! ″said the man with malice.Benjamin sighed helplessly, but in the end he had no choice but to comply with his father″in″law's instructions, he did not wa
Benjamin watched his wife standing in front of the mirror, giving herself the last touch″up on half of her face, while the other half she kept hidden behind a mask, despite this, her strong expression of annoyance could not go unnoticed.″I hope you don't make a fool of me in front of people, because that's the only thing you know how to do, I would prefer you to stay away, keep quiet... you always have to do ridiculous things to make us the laughing stock of the family, it seems you don't know how to do anything else, but fill me with shame," said the annoyed woman, who inside couldn't stop regretting having married him, they had already been married for two years and not a single day went by that she didn't curse her luck.″Ana Sofia... I s″sorry... I don't like crowds... they overwhelm me... they make me nervous, however, I will try to please you... I will just sit and listen to your presentation... I will stay with Alejandro and reassure him," said the man with a soft tone of voic
Benjamin took a deep breath, he was about to turn to answer the newcomer, when his wife intervened.″Mr. Ayala, don't use the term señorita with me, I am a married woman, can't you see my husband? Well, he is in front of you," answered Ana Sofía, with an apparently calm voice and a smile that only tried to simulate her growing displeasure.At his wife's words, Benjamin could not help but be somewhat proud of her, he even felt his ego grow a little, a smile of satisfaction was drawn on his face, which faded just a few seconds later when his father″in″law addressed him in a haughty manner.″Pick up that mess! ″ordered Mr. Celedón to Benjamín, pointing to the place full of food next to the table.For a moment, the boy remained silent and wanted to defend himself, because he did not want to make a fool of Ana Sofia and even more, when she had just defended her position as a husband, he did not want to let himself be humiliated in front of the man.″Mr. Celedón... i″excuse me," he said app
The woman, when she saw Benjamin, sighed with impotence, clenched her fists on one side of her body, while she kept complaining inwardly "Why doesn't he pay attention? If I told her not to come, why does she need to contradict me? Didn't I tell her to stay in the house? Why must she always go against what you ask her to? It's so irritating! Why does she love to make a fool of herself all the time? Doesn't she realize that she's making my life difficult? Everyone hates and despises me enough for him to add more ember" He sighed deeply and started to walk, when his companion held him by the arm.″Excuse me, Mr. Smith, wait a moment," the woman said, walking over to her husband.″Miss Celedón, I remind you that you have the presentation in ten minutes, it is your only opportunity to do it, if you do not do it in that time, then your company will lose the contract with our subsidiary and remember that signing with us is the same as signing with the Greys," said the man in a threatening t
Benjamin saw that Mr. Smith was hesitating and about to agree to Montes and Horacio's request, so he did not hesitate to intervene.″Sir, you cannot listen to them without waiting for my wife to finish her presentation, she is the best in her field and..." his words were interrupted by a mocking Horatio.″The best in her field? What do you know about architectural simulator projects, about design? You're nothing more than the husband Dad bought my sister to save us from embarrassment when Paolo Anderson refused to marry her. You're nothing! You're a deadbeat, who doesn't even have the ability to earn the bread he puts in his mouth.″That's enough, Horatio! Stop meddling in my life and saying such things..." the man interrupted her again.″Is it a lie?! He's useless?! What do you keep him?″That is not your problem or anyone else's, whether I keep it or not is only Benjamin's and my business, besides it is not a topic we are dealing with here... don't think I don't know what you are do
Just at that moment, as she was questioning whether to expect Benjamin to solve her problem, Ivan Alayon arrived, smiling broadly, and began to greet Mr. Smith.″Mr. Smith, I don't know if you remember me... I am Ivan Alayon, Lyon's cousin, a relative of the Grey patriarch's chief assistant, it's a pleasure to meet you," he greeted, extending his hand. It is a pleasure to meet a person of your importance ″he saluted the man and he swelled with pride″. I didn't know you were in town, if I had known I would have given you the welcome you deserve, although I can very well invite you to lunch after you leave here ″as he saw him serious he frowned and questioned him″ What's wrong, do you have any problem? If I can help you, don't hesitate to ask me, we are here to serve you ″he pronounced with a servile expression, which caused a little annoyance in Ana Sofia, because she didn't like to flatter people, however, she tightened her mouth, so as not to let out what she was thinking. ″Mr. Alay
Benjamin, seeing how his father was treating Ana Sofia, was upset, his first impulse was to stop him, to tell him that he should respect his daughter, but it was not convenient to do so, because that would upset Ana Sofia and would cause more problems, so after thinking about it for a couple of seconds he restrained himself, the most effective solution would be to make Smith return, so without wasting time he sent a message to Sirius.Sent to unidentified number."You have sent a Mr. Smith, to hold a negotiation with the Celedon family, he left without listening to my wife's presentation, make him come back, apologize and agree to finance the project. All negotiations with the other Celedon's, make him be tough and do not sign any contract with them; where Ana Sofia is in the negotiation, she must approve it without any objection."Received from unidentified number"Is this your first instruction as CEO of the family companies?"Sent to unidentified number."I haven't accepted yet.

When they got out Ana Sofia guided him to where her car was, a BMW, M3, Sport Evolution antique, she unlocked the locks and before she got in, Benjamin opened the car door for her, making a gentlemanly gesture with one hand for her to get in, the woman looked to the side as if she was embarrassed that someone was watching her husband's gallantry, when she saw no one she breathed a sigh of relief.″You know, you don't have to do that, you embarrass me," he said reproachfully, as he got into the car, but Benjamin smiled.″If I do it, it is because I feel like doing it... you know that you are important to me Ana Sofia and you have no idea what I am capable of doing for you," answered the man.″Well, you haven't shown me much... Benjamin, I don't like lies, you don't have to invent that you were going to call someone you know to solve the presentation... you don't have to pretend to be important, because I know you are not, and that's precisely why you are my husband today," she said wit
