LUCIA

I should be excited about this. The reason I had been planning for weeks was finally happening. But I wasn’t excited. Instead, I was scared.

Scared of what might happen next.

“Are you insane?” The words slipped out of my mouth before I could even control it and frankly, I didn't even want to.

His eyes slightly widened as he stared down at me. “What did you just say to me?” He asked.

“What do you mean the wedding is off?” I counter asked.

“It is exactly what I mean, Lucia. The wedding is

    LUCIATHE NEXT MORNING My sleep was interrupted by the loud ringing of the landline. Believe me when I say it took everything in me not to pick it up and smash it against the wall. Why the fuck was Miguel calling me this early? Was it even time for breakfast? Still subconsciously in my sleep, my hands roamed my bed for my phone. I picked it up by the edge of the bed to check the time.It was still seven in the morning. Breakfast wasn’t until an hour later. So, why was Miguel calling me on the landline like it was time for breakfast? I hesitated picking up at first, thinking it was better to just ignore it and go back to sleep like I never heard it in the first place, but the phone kept ringing and I had no choice but to drag myself groggily out of my bed to pick up the phone.The instant I placed the phone to my ear, the first word I muttered was “Miguel, breakfast isn’t until an hour later, why are you calling me?!” The other side of the phone was silent for a few seconds as if

    LUCIAI had no idea how to answer his question. My thoughts were juggled at the moment. I badly wanted this but on the other hand I knew this was awfully wrong. Cocking my chin up, I snarled. “No I don't” “I don’t have second thoughts and I'm still against whatever is happening right now” I added, slightly pointing to the both of us.He took a step away from me, then turned around. While walking back to the dining table, I heard him chuckle “well your body tells me otherwise” he replied.A gasp escaped my lips as my hands flew to my chest. This man was definitely crazy.But…he was actually right. My body was outrightly betraying me. Curse you, you betrayer!! I scolded myself inwardly. Alejandro picked up his phone and started to walk towards me again."What?” I questioned, moving back suspiciously.“What do you want to do now?” I asked and he let out a low laugh.“Nothing…for now” he stressed the word ‘for now’ like he was just letting me go and would be back to torment me soon.

    LUCIAWe both stared at each other for a solid one minute trying to take in what Alejandro had just said. The room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop loudly if it was thrown down from the first floor. “I will make sure you have a fiancée in about a week” he added all while still gripping me tightly like the thought of letting go scared him shitless.“But Dad…” Carlos tried to speak but he cut him short.“You don’t oppose me Carlos, and you know that” he said, his thick Italian accent, evident in his rough tone. I threw my eyes at him then back at Carlos and my heart was instantly crushed. Carlos didn’t look okay. His fists were clenched beside him and his gaze on his father was deadly. I could tell this was a lot to take in for Carlos and it hurts me. I wished I could do something.I wished I could get him out of this situation but I had no idea what I could do. Carlos released a sigh and he stared down at the table. “Okay Father, do whatever you feel is right” he said,

    LUCIAMy fingers grazed the silk smooth object as I stared down at it in utter disbelief. I didn’t get it. Why did he get me a phone?“Why did you…” I paused then turned to look at Carlos before continuing “why did you get me this?” I asked as I looked back at Alejandro. He stood up and went back to his usual seat with a smirk beaming all over his face. “Because I can and I want to” he lightly shrugged, stuffing his hands in his pocket before taking a seat. I sat there, stunned and bewildered by what was happening. Locking eyes with the phone, I shook my head and dropped the phone gently on the table.“That doesn’t make any sense” I crossed my arms, confusion written all over my face.“Why doesn’t it make sense?” He asked, his brows knitted together. “Because…” the words hung in my throat as I realized that I actually had no reason to back up my speech.Why didn’t it make sense? Come to think of it, it was kind of his fault that my phone cracked and spoiled, if he hadn’t kissed m

    LUCIAThe panic started to set in right after the realization. “Oh shit” he sat up, the thrill had completely drained off his eyes at this moment and what replaced it was fear.“I really didn’t think of that” “Shit. This is bad” he stood up and sat back down, panicking. I quickly sat by the edge of the bed and took his hand, pulling it towards me.“Carlos!” I called sternly. He stilled and locked eyes with me.“Take a deep breath” his chest heaved in and then out simultaneously until he relaxed his muscles.“Good. Now, calm down Carlos. We’ll figure something out. All we need to do is redraft our plans and find a way out of this mess”He nodded, then leaned back into his seat, actively taking in a deep breath and breathing out. “What do you suggest we do? What is the plan?” He finally spoke after a few seconds. Swallowing a gulp, I pulled back and rested both my arms on my bed. I had no idea what to do. I couldn’t think of anything at the moment, my head was still clouded with wh

The wedding is off. You are not to marry Carlos anymore” he responded, like it was nothing. Like I was just supposed to take whatever he dished out, when he wanted me too.My eyes fell downwards and I whipped my hands away from his grip. I looked back up then rolled my eyes. “You know that is absurd right? You can’t just make a decision without my permission” I crossed my arms as I said.“I definitely can” he tried to lean towards me but I backed away. That seemed to have offended him, because he frowned the

He looked exhausted, like he didn’t want to be here and he would rather use his precious time for something better.Dr. Sanchez I mean, not Alejandro.He got to where I was and pushed out a faint smile. “Good morning Sig
