By CatherineWe were silent when we saw our families approach us with smiles that barely fit their lips. Everyone seemed very satisfied with the success of the occasion."Are you leaving already?" my father asked."Yes! Catherine is tired, and I confess that I am too." Hector replied calmly. "I think we can already make the traditional getaway without having to say goodbye to these boring people that you insisted on inviting."He smiles in the very delicate way that Hector referred to the guests by our parents. I had to admit, he was a brave man, and that was one of the things I liked most about him. Even knowing that he would be criticized for the way he stood, he often had the courage to do or say things that I just silenced, but fully agreed with him."Behave yourself, son." My father-in-law scolded his son, who just shrugged and seemed to care. "It was important that they participate in this moment.""I wonder how much." Hector rolled his eyes and gave him a light elbow to scold h
By CatherineSince we left Hector’s parents' house, a silence has settled in the car. I think it was a lot to process, besides, we were too tired to say anything, but when we stopped a red light he stared at me and asked:"You and the deputy seem to have a very deep intimacy, don’t you?""We’ve been friends since we were kids. Patrick is a special friend.""Special..." she kind of repeated to herself."Yes, special as Stella seems to be to you."His eyes became frightened upon hearing my statement."What do you mean, like Stella is for me?""Aren’t you best friends? He’s also my best friend."Hector’s expression became indecipherable. Then the signal opened and he put the car back in motion."Although the impression I have is of Stella, try to have a control over you.""Bullshit! She’s just a little possessive.""Doesn’t she have a boyfriend?" I wanted to know a little more about the redhead who intrigued me.He looked at me looking confused."No!""huuuum..." I grumbled not knowing w
By Hector MarquesAfter saying goodbye to Catherine, I entered my room and was able to allow myself to be taken by all the sensations that my heart insisted on overflowing. I felt strange in a way that I still couldn’t understand what was happening, but the feeling that now I’m not the same Hector as before was something that was really bothering me. All I had to do was let the days pass so I could find out what fate had in store for me at that wedding.First day after the weddingThe next morning I woke up and got scared when I saw the time. It was past eight in the morning. I felt my body exhausted and could stay in bed for the rest of the day without complaining, but I decided to get up to do my morning hygiene and go down to meet Catherine, who would probably already be awake.I felt very strange waking up on a Sunday morning in a new home carrying the status of married to the heiress of the De Castro family. Soon I who never dreamed of marrying... I went downstairs and the house
By Hector Marques weeks laterContrary to what I imagined, the days were passing quickly and gradually Catherine and I were adapting to our new reality. Although our differences were glaring, we had not yet come into conflict for anything, and as much as it was clear the dissatisfaction of the other when I left the night to meet Stella in her apartment, Catherine said nothing. She didn’t even ask where I was going or what time I was coming home, just kept quiet. Part of me was upset by the awkward situation, but I didn’t want to live for work and home, so I thought it was fair to go out and have fun with friends.However I could not deny that every day I was a little more enchanted by the sweet way of the woman who shared that house with me. Gradually I knew a little more of Catherine and it was not as if it was possible to be indifferent. She was a very attentive companion, always showing concern if I had fed or needed something before we slept.Catherine always did everything possi
By Catherine This time Hector had pushed all the boundaries. After months that I had been closing my eyes to the slips that he gave, I could not believe that he had come to this point. I looked indignantly at the article I read on the tablet. A mixture of anger with disappointment invaded my chest, after all I expected him to respect the commitment he agreed to have with me."Apparently people don’t change so easily. The news of the day is that a few months after their marriage, Hector Marques was seen entering an unknown condominium the night before. And then you ask, What’s wrong with that? According to the information gathered, Hector was seen entering the place, but the same did not leave, that is, the newlywed spent the night outside the house, which is very strange since he has a woman waiting for him. The question is, what does your wife think about that? Always demure the poor lady Catherine De Castro Marques, is exposed for the first time in a bombastic news involving her f
By HectorUntil that moment I still didn’t have much approach with my wife’s cousin, but in few minutes beside her it was already possible to notice that she was super high mood, a little crazy I confess, but I liked her way a little bit. We arrived at the place and a chill in my stomach hit me, na anxiety to see the woman I was married to made me practically resort to the stairs, waiting for the lift was too much time wasted.“You’re nervous.” Daiana stated as she looked at me. “I never thought I would see you like this.”“Like this?” I asked not understanding what she meant by that.“Yeah, like this all excited to see my cousin.”She didn’t ask, Daiana was simply stating what I was trying to hide, it made me uncomfortable. The fact that I was being too transparent was new to me, who always knew how to hide my emotions very well.“I just want to resolve this situation. Your cousin is difficult and must be wanting to kill me right now.”We finally entered the lift.“Of that I have no
By CatherineWhen I saw Hector standing in the doorway of Patrick’s flat my only urge was to choke him. I felt anger and was very hurt that he had allowed things to get to that point. However, what bothered me the most was the internal confusion I felt. As strange as it was, I confess that the title of betrayed woman was what mattered least to me at that moment. I know that Hector didn’t believe that he owed me fidelity, after all for him our marriage was nothing more than na obligation imposed by our parents, but imagining him touching another woman bothered me more than I expected, more than I desired and it was making me go into na outburst.I didn’t want to hear Hector’s explanations, but when he started talking and I looked into his eyes I felt the sincerity in everything he said and it was inevitable at that moment not to feel the happiness that invaded me and calmed my heart, which put me on alert, I couldn’t let myself get involved like that.Hector, the idiot, decided to stay
By HectorAfter I almost kissed Catherine that day, I talked to Kaique about it. Of course it wasn’t surprising that it happened, after all she was very beautiful. It was to be expected that at some point I would end up feeling attracted to my wife. The problem was that I didn’t count on this attraction arising along with feelings that were leaving me confused. It was almost as if I had a need to care for and protect Catherine like I had never done with another woman before.If before I was already frightened by the sensations I felt every time I saw my wife, after my friend said that he thought I was falling in love with Catherine, I found myself lost and confused by my own feelings.I decided then to follow Kaique’s advice, and despite the difficulty I found to approach Catherine after the misunderstanding of that day, whenever possible I did it. Kaique had told me that to discover what I really felt for my wife it would be necessary to allow me to be near her, to be more present in
