CHAPTER 40
I couldn’t even move, not a single gesture was on my face, I could only stay like a stone while that woman kissed my husband as if she had just returned and was longing to see her partner again.
-Oh, oh… -said Eros’ brother in mockery -Hey Eros.
The woman turned away from Eros when she heard Apollo, she turns and with a smile she observes me and then him, she respectfully greets Aria and then Apollo, when she saw me.. she looked at me with surprise and then at Eros’ younger brother.
-Apollo, why didn’t you tell me you had a wife and a beautiful daughter?
-Ah… no, I wish such a beautiful woman was my wife. -My husband doesn’t even react, he was confused or something -But… in fact she is Eros’ wife and the baby…
She without wiping off her smile teases and tells him to stop joking like that but Apollo tells her that it’s no joke and Aria tells him that he should forget about his brother already. Eros came up to me and asks me to come up to our room.
-What the fuck was that Eros? -I said after getting out of my astonishment, “You let a woman kiss you who is not your wife, did I see that?
-You saw it, it took me by surprise…..
-What? -she said interrupting -You… got married?
-Daughter… come here. -I’m so sorry Miss Bianca, she didn’t want to do it. Go ahead and apologize to young Eros’ wife.
-Why would I do that? -He promised me that the day he came back to this place it would be to make me his wife.
Eros’ brothers held back their laughter but they couldn’t do it, the stern look of their older brother forced them to stop laughing, Eros with seriousness tells her that he doesn’t even remember such words but she gets angry and says a date day and even time leaving us all shocked.
-I was 15 years old,” said Eros frustrated, “Don’t tell me you believed that.
Apparently the person in charge of this place is the girl’s mother, she apologizes again to me and takes her with her, all is silent in the dining room, Eros’ brothers felt the tension between us so they took our daughter with them leaving us alone.
I didn’t want to show, being an immature and impulsive woman “But god, I swear I wanted to kill that woman”. My jealousy is like a hurricane about to erupt, anyone would react violently but I didn’t want her brothers to think I was a manic, jealous woman, I didn’t want a bad impression
-What… was that?
-It was just for sleeping with her, I wanted to win the bet with my brother apollo and well, I won but I never thought she would believe that would actually happen. I just wanted easy dry and I got it but I didn’t think it would get me in trouble at this point in my life.
-I can’t believe you’re not aware of what you did.
-I know it was a mistake, and I’m really sorry you saw that.
-Wait, you’re sorry that I saw him kiss you with another woman. -You’re telling me that?
-No, no… -No, no…
I turned my back on him and left him alone because he said the worst thing he could have said was to tell me that he was sorry I saw him kissing another woman, I mean, it would have been better for him not to see it so he wouldn’t have felt guilty or maybe he would have continued the kiss.
It is as if he had told me doing it behind my back, it hurt me a lot that he said that, “I can’t believe it. One day as husband and wife and we are already arguing”. I thought this night would be unforgettable for us but now… I feel like it will be more than disappointing.
-You look very serious in the early hours of the morning.
-I guess I’m just not used to being someone else in high society.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
-Or are you just upset about what happened between my brother and Claudia? -So her name is Claudia -Listen. You shouldn’t be so upset about a simple kiss, it was something nobody expected, we were all just like you, surprised.
-It doesn’t bother me that I kissed him. It bothers me that he didn’t do anything to push her away.
-I guess he didn’t expect her to be here. Our father gave her a scholarship so she could study, I thought she was in London. -You know nothing you’re telling me cheers me up. -You should be happy, you accomplished what no one else could do,” I turn to look at her, “You won the love of my arrogant and cold brother, and even made him love the idea of being a father. Many tried to get pregnant in order to change him, hey… speaking of which, how did you manage to make my brother change so much?
I can’t help but smile at the memory of what I had to go through to get us here. It was 10:00 am. After a long conversation with my sister-in-law, I understood that it wasn’t worth it, surely that girl knew that Eros was married and that she just wanted to provoke me like all the exes have done, including Melissa who many times did her best to give Eros a child, but she never could do it.
-Hello -Eros keeps his distance -You know I….
-I’m afraid. -I’m afraid that at some point… you’ll leave me when you realize that I’m not like those women…
I was so afraid that he was going to cheat on me, I always thought about that possibility and I thought that last night, I would look for that girl, but after his sister’s words I understood that I shouldn’t feel insecure, that I am beautiful like all women, according to her I had no idea that I was someone of scarce resources since I don’t look like one.
-A kiss can’t change how I feel about you. -She kisses my forehead, “Listen. I want to tell you this because… I swore to you at the altar that there would be no secrets between us. Last night when you left me outside, I stayed in the living room and Claudia… she was naked and well…
-What? -I turn away from him when I see his expression -You slept with her?
