MARIANELLAI definitely don't get as much sleep as I would like, so I just lie in bed quietly for fear that Roman will wake up and give me a sleeping pill once and for all, I was actually seriously considering it.The anxiety is eating away at me.As I put my feet up out of bed and go to watch the sunrise from my balcony chair, it is beautiful and brings a sense of peace and calm, while I am lost in my thoughts, I remember the story of romance that happened here in this castle that I am to be married in. "Once upon a time there was a young couple, Maria and Rafael, who met during a trip to Europe. They quickly fell in love and decided to travel together through France, visiting various historic castles and palaces.On one of their trips, they came across an isolated castle that had been abandoned for years.for years. Despite the state of decay, Maria and Raphael were fascinated by the beauty of the place and decided to explore it.As they walked through the dusty corridors, they cam
MARIANELLAWhile I am in my preparations, I can't stop thinking about the word marriage and what it means.The meaning of marriage varies according to cultures and religions, but in general, marriage is a legally and socially recognized union between two people who wish to make a commitment of love and fidelity.For many people, marriage is a symbol of love and commitment, representing the union of two people who wish to build a life together and share both happy and difficult moments.In addition, marriage can be seen as an important step in adulthood, indicating a person's willingness to take on responsibilities, establish a family, and build a future together.In some cultures and religions, marriage is also seen as a sacrament, or a sacred ceremonysacred ceremony that must be performed before God, involving religious rituals and practices.Regardless of the meaning attributed to marriage, it is important to remember that this union should be based on love, respect, trust, and com
MARIANELLAMonths later…The end of pregnancy is the worst time to go to events, but I am now dressed as Tiffany and my husband is dressed as Chuck as we are going to the Halloween party that Christopher's company is organizing.He is celebrating that for the first time he has his own company in his area, he decided to start his business as soon as he married Esmeralda, they decided it was time to start something together and not live working for others for the rest of their lives.This meant that it couldn't be a throwaway event, they are my drug family.So we got in the car in our super cool costumes, which Roman hated I must point out, and off we went to this party.The decoration of the Halloween party was amazing. Right at the entrance, there was a giant pumpkin carving, with orange and yellow lights inside, making it glow from afar. Next to it was a wall with a painting of a haunted cemetery, with tombstones and twisted trees, giving the feeling that the party was taking place i
MarianellaMy sister was not in the habit of calling me during office hours, so when her name comes up on the call, I grab my phone and head for the bathroom.The feeling that something is wrong settles in my throat as I lock the door and slide the button to answer the call, taking a deep breath before I put the phone to my ear.“ Hola hermana “ he greets me and as I predicted his tone of voice was apprehensive.“ What happened? “ I ask at once.“ I have two pieces of bad news - she paused, the second longest of my life “ Rebecca is getting married.I groaned in frustration.Rebecca is our cousin who still resides with the rest of our family in Spain, during our entire existence, Becca was the apple of the family's eye, even though she is the youngest, she was the pride of everyone, the one who faithfully followed the family traditions, which included only leaving home when she got married, something Esmeralda and I both ruled out.When we graduated from high school, we moved to Seatt
MARIANELLAAfter the news three days had passed, my despair level was gradually rising as my options went wrong, not that I had many to begin with.We tried two of Karen's cousins, which only served to make me realizethat I can't have a decent conversation with a gym personal trainer in the first place, I am extremely sedentary and they are crazy about the gym.The bouncer seemed too rough, his stories about getting annoying drunks out of nightclubs would certainly not be a very encouraging subject for my family.Then I felt bad about the whole thing. I'm putting my family's expectations on the shoulders of people who definitely have nothing to do with my problems.They had no obligation whatsoever to meet a standard.Finally we are trying a guy from accounting, first hand he seems very decent, he was very cute accepting an invitation that was not even made by me.My hands were sweating as I pushed open the doors of the cafeteria, I looked around recognizing Ethan at a middle table,
MARIANELLAI blink what could be once, twice, or a hundred times, I am not sure, but I am probably crazy, after all I just heard my boss say that there is a solution in mind for our situation.This can only be in my head, what is this situation that would involve the two of us?He remains serious and apathetic, he is looking at me intently as if waiting for something, the gray orbs chasing every trace of my expression, I always feel watched and analyzed in his presence.I begin the failed attempts to say something coherent, I don't understand anything that happened, or rather I don't understand anything I heard.“ I am waiting for an answer, so make yourself at home," he says, without any irony or rudeness.“ I'm not sure I heard correctly," I try to argue.“ You heard perfectly what I said, every word," he shuts me up, that dominant voice invading my brain.“ What kind of situation would involve the two of us? “ I kick it out, getting a cross of the eyebrows I get when I'm being inso
ROMANI would sell my soul to the devil before I would marry Mikhelly, the daughter of my mother's best friend.She is the kind of snobbish and unscrupulous woman that I have been keeping away from for a long time, I wouldn't mind if she was a gold-digger, deep down everybody is, but the personality of this particular woman irritates me a lot.She feigns a delicacy and fragility worthy of an Oscar award that makes my mother fall in love with her, she is the perfect candidate in her eyes, she visualizes a romance with this ideal partner bullshit.Over my fucking dead body.I cursed every day, my father's past generations, that led him to be so closed minded and small, now I have to pay the price for that.Since my father passed away, I have taken control of 75% of his companies, which limits my business and prevents me from going further in my agreements, all because he believed that no man was a real man without a wife.After his departure, it was my mother's mission not to transfer t
MARIANELLAI did not get a good night's sleep, if at any time that night I could actually sleep at all.I tossed and turned, waiting for sleep to come, but it did not come, and when I got up it was still dark, a little after five in the morning.I wish I were in the habit of doing some morning exercise to discharge energy, but my sedentary spirit wouldn't allow it, so I brewed coffee and drank it.I am on my third cup.No one should drink this much coffee, but I didn't truly feel like a human being without a dose of caffeine that is considered a food crime, it's a mania I pulled from my father.I thought about my childhood and how different things were here from there, when I moved I had to abandon some old habits, besides the accent that only appeared in a few moments, I adapted as I needed to and this meant leaving a big part of myself behind.I grew up in a small house, but very comfortable and cozy, so we chose to have an apartment here, it reminds us a lot of our home in Spain, w
