Party

What? But if this man of man has nothing, when I may be about four years ahead, he is a super handsome man, not just that. He is quite tall, even when he sits down, his hair is brown and his eyes are green, it is a very intense dark green.

"Don't worry sir, besides, those who should apologize in that case would be the two of them, or am I wrong?" he said, taking me out of my thoughts quickly, with his gaze fixed on me.

"Mmm... yes," I replied a little nervously. "I apologize for the delay, Mr. Bruce."

He kept taking my eyes off, my sister also apologized by receiving a "yes" in whispers as an answer. His eyes are still fixed on me! Shit!! I'm starting to get nervous.

If dinner went more normally and quietly, I mean boring. That would be the right word to describe the dinner and talks of these men. Well, my father, my brother and Bruce were talking about their businesses as if instead of a dining room they were in an office and their employees.

On the other hand, for my part there was not much attention; my thoughts were focused on Armando, I was super sad about what had happened to me, I loved him too much, but I am not willing to forgive one more fault of him and less an infidelity, it would be very unfair on my part after having given him many opportunities. I still loved him, I couldn't deny that, if it's only been a day since it all ended and I missed him as if several years had passed, I was used to him, I practically depended on him and now that's affecting me a lot.

On many occasions I could feel Bruce's gaze on me, but at that moment I didn't give him any importance to my head I could only think about the way I would have to communicate to my family that I had done with Armando.

"Honey, are you feeling good?" my dad asks. "Just as I get out of my trance state, I see that everyone was looking at me."

"That's right Dad," I nodded and tried to smile so that everything looked like it really was.

"But you're a little pale, my girl, do you want to go to your room?" I nodded, I was completely sure that if my mouth opened, my heart would also open and start crying.

"Go calm, honey, after dinner I promise you that I will go to your room." I nodded again and apologized to those who were at the table, Bruce was still looking at me and that always kept me uncomfortable.

I climbed the stairs quickly before my heart betrayed me and left tears in front of everyone, when I entered my room I ensured the setting so that no one could enter at this time. I lay face down hugging the pillow and started taking out everything that happened compressing at dinner.

I woke up to some knocks that I could hear at the door, I got up and went to open.

"What's going on with you, Karina?" Were you crying? - that's what my father asked when he saw me - you had secured the door.

All I did at that moment was hug him with strength, I clung so much to him that I didn't want to let him go. He also clung to me, making it clear to me that I could always count on him for anything.

"Dad... I need to tell you something." My voice sounded fragile, he nodded, took me by the hand and we left the room.

Fortunately we were a very close family, I think we were that example that they always present on television, of those in which everyone loves each other, there is no jealousy of brothers either, communication and love between siblings was something that could be noticed. We were a team in itself. If someone had an achievement, we all rejoiced just as if a member of the family had a bad thing happened to him, so the others felt it,

None of us could feel happy if one of us was having a hard time, my father raised us so that the family was our refuge and one being, and anyway, among the brothers we had to be a team and we had to take care of each other. Our parents always told us.

The minutes passed and it took us a while to have the family gathered in the room, everyone was talking to each other, it was as if our parents communicated things to us, it was the way they taught us that we should notify the family members.

"I ended up with Armando," I said it out of nowhere, getting even the attention of little Vincent who watched me while I was eating a popsicle,

The news apparently had an impact, so much so that they remained in complete silence making me feel so small when I had all eyes fixed on me.

None of those who were there showed any joy, and that is that Armando had earned the affection of everyone including that of my father, in fact you could even talk about a wedding, a wedding that can never be held. His daughter would marry a good family boy with great renown, everyone knew that Armando was not a bad party,

"And why that?" If the two of you were supposed to have a good time - my father was the one who asked first, immediately shrugged the men and looked away so as not to break any more in front of them.

"We are just... we're nothing anymore," I just expressed myself while my head is down feeling the tears on my cheeks.

"What did that damn thing do to you?" "Tell me all at once!" my brother asked furiously and I immediately denied my head, I think that of all the members the only one who didn't look like was my brother, ie more distrusted Armando and I think he always felt terrible jealousy when he came home.

Ana was the only one who didn't say anything at that moment but to get up to give me a warm hug and it was at that moment that I couldn't contain myself anymore, my cries were heard all over the room.

"My little Karina," said my mother, feeling her hug with the two of us. "I will always love them as the most precious thing in this life." After that my pafre also joined the hug, finally my brother who rested his lips on my mother's forehead, on my sister and finally on mine.

I was in the room after having told everything to the family, everyone was doing their part and my brother made it very clear that when he saw Armando he would beat him up.

"Sister, is everything okay?" Ana asks, entering my room.

"Yes," I replied trying to force a smile, she looked at me and went in to lie next to me.

"Don't worry because these things usually happen, but you will see that you will overcome this," he told me, I smiled. Ana was older than me for a few years, but we have always gotten along, more than my sister I also consider her my best friend.

"What about my father?" I asked to calm the sadness a little. She smiled in a sad way and kissed my forehead again.

"He's with the others and Mr. Bruce." I think they are in the office.

"I don't know why they use the term "lord" with him, because he doesn't have anything as a lord, didn't you see what it looks like?" He's very handsome and maybe he may be your age," I said and he thought that was funny.

"Well, I think we call it that out of respect, you know what my father is like with those things and more when it's a very important visit," he told me with a funny look.

"Well, anyway, how long do you plan to stay?" I asked.

"From what I heard, he's going to stay a couple of weeks and he won't stay here except in the house that's in the yard, miss," he said, grimating which I also imitated her and we both laughed.

"Well, to all this, what miracle hasn't Sara been crying?" we started laughing,

"She's with mom, Jessica and Vincent in the kitchen, I went upstairs so you can join us for dinner," she said, getting up and going to the door. "Hurry Karina, Dad and the others will arrive soon," she winked and left.

I went into the bathtub and took a bath, when I got out of the bathroom I look at my cell phone that is vibrating, I take it and I see that it is Sandra, the best friend of a lifetime.

"Hello Sandra," I haven't even finished talking when I hear a music noise in the background.

"Karina!" for free with so much emotion. "I'm waiting for you, we're going to break the cake soon," she shouted as she was reminding me that a few days ago I had promised her that she would attend her fiancé's birthday.

"I'm sorry, Sandra, maybe in forty minutes I can be there, please wait for me," I said and she only sentenced me if I didn't arrive on time and finished the call.

I hurried to dress by putting on a black set, an intense red dress perfectly adjusted to my body that made me see each of my pronounced curves. The high black heels of course. I put on makeup as simple as possible and ready, this queen was more than ready.

"At least having been a designer has helped me a lot"

I said to myself when I saw myself in the mirror. I looked at an entire monument in front of me.

I took the matte black handbag and put the money, my cell phone and some makeup. You always have to be prepared for anything and that's how I left my room.

The moment I go down to the ground floor, I can see what my father and Mr. Bruce are doing. Apparently they were still talking about their affairs.

"Good night everyone," by saying these words, I capture everyone's attention, but of course Mr. Bruce had the most intimidating look.

—Karina... "Do you plan to go out or something?" says my father after scanning me.
