Valentina dear, what a beautiful wedding, said Mrs. Louisa, childhood friend of her mother. Alexander is a very special young man. You will be very happy. Thanks, Mrs. Louisa. He really is special. Special was an interesting word to describe someone who married for money. Patricia approached with the eyes still wet. My daughter, I am so happy.
I had never seen you so fulfilled. Thanks, Mom. You and dad made a perfect party. Alexander seems to get along well with everyone. Your dad was chatting with him about taking him to know the headquarters of the company next week. Valentina felt a knot in the stomach. Alexander was accelerating his plans. “How good,” she said, maintaining the smile.
When the time for the dinner arrived, Valentina was sitting in the head table together with Alexander. He held her hand over the table, stroking it with the thumb. Before that gesture melted her, now it irritated her deeply. “You are gorgeous today,” whispered Alexander in her ear. “I can’t wait for our honeymoon.” “Me neither,” she lied.
“The honeymoon? 15 days in Spain. Gift of Richard for the newlyweds. 15 days alone with a man who only wanted to take advantage of her. The idea gave her nausea. During the dinner, Richard stood up to give the first speech. Friends, family, many thanks for being here in this so special day. Valentina always has been the light of our home.
A sweet and intelligent girl who turned into a wonderful woman. Alexander, you are winning an incredible wife. and Valentina, you chose a good, hard-working man and who clearly loves you much.” The guests applauded. Valentina smiled and greeted while Alexander stood up to embrace his father-in-law. “Thanks, Mr. Richard.
I promise to take good care of Valentina, and I hope to learn much from you in the business. Who knows if I can help to expand even more the companies of the family?” Richard smiled, clearly satisfied with the attitude of his son-in-law, if he only knew. When it was the turn of Alexander to speak, he stood up and took the microphone.
People, I want to thank everyone for being here today, especially to Mr. Richard and Mrs. Patricia for receiving me as a son. Valentina, you have made me the happiest man in the world. I promise to pass the rest of my life making you smile. More soft and well- elaborated lies.
