MARCOS-The money he pays us for our silence, ma'am," I clarified, perhaps I was wrong to tell her the truth, but we had no choice.-But what money are these gentlemen talking about, Alex? I demand you tell me, what is going on at this very moment? -She was shaking her head from one end to the other very confused, poor lady, why did you tell me and Margaret that her parents were dead? -Perhaps she was becoming hysterical, while Mr. Alex was breathing heavily -you have lied to your own daughter, I am ashamed of you.-So, what did you want us to do? We couldn't have children and it was the only solution I saw at that moment, besides, they accepted the deal, I didn't see it wrong," Mr. Alex tried to excuse his actions.-I can't believe it..." His wife was holding his forehead.-Well, since everything has been cleared up now," said my father, "I think it would be best for Margaret to know that her real parents are still alive, and I'll take her with me to see her mother off.-No! Of cours
MARGARETAs the days went by, my father decided to travel for business matters, meanwhile I was left here, alone, with my bilogical parents, I learned to perform a number of trades which I was not used to in the mansion in New York, however the experience I was experiencing I liked, we did a little of everything and in the afternoons I visited the wooded area to read books, until one day I was told the sad and hard truth that my younger sister, would be married to a guy much older than her, They told me a little about the traditions and customs that were carried out in this country, one of the penalties to be paid if the mandate was not fulfilled was death itself, my brother and my father explained to me the possible solution so that this marriage would not be carried out, the only thing that had occurred to them was that I would sacrifice myself instead, I felt terrified because I would marry a man I had never seen before and on the other hand I had my life tied to New York, I did no
The crying and the suffering had stopped, that way my mind had cleared a little, I had the idea of tying sheets after sheets and that way escape through the window, it sounded a little crazy, but it was the only solution I had found, I just hope they didn't catch me in the attempt.DAMIÁN-I feel very proud of you, son, all this time we have taught you the right path and until today you have obeyed everything that the laws of our tribe says, so many years ago you were a boy and today you are a man, you are the leader of all of us and we respect you, now I give you my blessing so that you, you, be a good man and always give, the example to others-my father had stood in front of me giving me his blessing, as we had the custom at the time of joining our lives in marriage.-My mother was giving me a gold and diamond chain, now go to your room, your wife is waiting for you very anxiously," she said and inside I knew that things were not like that, however, I walked to my room, the biggest
DAMIÁNThe next day I woke up and had some unfinished business to do, she had not slept with me obviously, I would not subject her to such a thing, I was not a monster after all, but as I went downstairs I noticed that she had slept on the couch that was in the patio, she was still in her wedding dress and looked very tender, I confess, she was very beautiful, however between us there was nothing more than an agreement, an agreement that united two people without feelings between, yes I squatted down and had no idea how to wake this girl up, I wanted to caress her hair but it was impossible so I shook her body a little.-Margaret, wake up please -I shook her body again and again until she finally woke up- I can't believe you slept outside, it's too cold and I left the room alone for you, you should go change or something, it wouldn't be good for my parents to come and find you in this state.-And if they come, what, is there a problem? - this girl was very rebellious and I think that
-What are you doing?" asked Karina as she came into the room.-Yes, did you hear me right, no, wrong number," I tried to convince Karina that it was just a call, "It's okay," I smiled, "I just heard the cell phone ring and answered it, but apparently it was asking for another family.-Yes, it usually happens, maybe another time they will call again, but I was looking for you, mom wants us to go to lunch - fortunately, it seems that she had not suspected me.-Don't worry, I'll be there soon, I'll just go to the bathroom, I need to do some things1 -she went out and I didn't waste time, I left the room and went to the terrace I was looking for the possibility of escaping from this place.ROSE-I think I have to go-I felt uncomfortable that my own daughter was living in precarious conditions, after all, she lacked nothing in our mansion, now she was getting involved with this filthy family and to me, the whole thing was ridiculous.-Mom, but you just got here and you're about to leave, pl
My luck had definitely gone to hell as soon as I saw that the guy who had gotten out of that car was Damien's cousin, Jeff.-Come on, Margaret, come here please," he tried to take my hand but I pulled back immediately.-Let go of my arm," I demanded before I hit him.-Come on, please, don't act crazy, I just want to help you, it's the least I could do with a family member - what a hypocrite I was.-Just get away from me, I don't need your help, I just want to get out of this damn place," I grabbed my hair as I was walking in circles on the same spot.-You look like a very frightened girl, can you tell me, who has hurt you here, because if so, I could give you a solution to all this," he stared at me with those eyes as cold as the night, his beard was thick and his hair was totally dark.-And, how are you supposed to help me? I just want to get out of this country, I don't belong to this society and I really curse the day I set foot on this land," she was totally angry and at the same
MARIAWe went into the kitchen, I was very nervous about what was about to happen, we sat down in the dining room, Rose offered me a glass of water, I was so nervous that my hands were shaking when I took the glass.-Why, Rose, why do we have to follow these traditions? It is unfair, I cannot bear the pain of losing two sons, why? why do we women have to suffer so much? -She was also crying and it was not for less, we had no voice or command before them.-I know, Maria, I am also very angry, but I can't do anything, you know perfectly well that, even though he is my husband, I have to submit to what he tells me, they have always been the laws and we can't defy them, now what we have to have is patience, maybe Damian can solve this -we both hugged each other, clinging to each other.MARGARETWe arrived at Damien's mansion, I was a little terrified because of the people around me, but nevertheless, every time I was with him, I felt protected, I felt that no one could hurt me, I looked a
REGINAACKNOWLEDGMENTSIn the hardest situation that I found myself many years ago I could know a great truth, because it is the moment in which I was more needy, things seemed much worse and I believed that there is no way out of that hole in which I found myself but the truth is that when one is more needy is that people move away, I knew that it was only a matter of time before my life would be lost in the nothingness, I had no illusions and I had no dreams, the only thing I had was a lot of problems on my shoulder.All this had resulted in a great depression, the depression that I had for many years and as a result of that same depression I could not even eat well and I lost weight so much that not even the size of my pants fit me, I was sad and it was not for less because I was going through the worst stage of my life, that stage that I will never forget.But fortunately there were people that if you are really interested like for example Max he was very different from all the pe
