All Chapters of On the Beam: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

For dinner with Miguel I decided to wear a long blue dress, silver heeled sandals and a light makeup. Nothing too flashy, highlighting only the eyes.I was in my room finishing getting ready when I heard his voice echoing through the room.Miguel Henrique's husky voice was unmistakable. I could identify that voice from miles away and I couldn't deny it. It was the perfect blend with his appearance, his beard, his athletic body, and his eyes.How generous God was with this man!- Daughter, you look beautiful! - Dad smiled as he came into my room - Can I have a word with you?- Of course Dad! - I smiled.- Look, I'm totally against all this, you know!- I know dad...but it's for a good cause! - I tried to argue - Look, it's the kids ....e- Olivia, there must be another way! Daughter, this man is famous, rich and influential. He can solve everything without you having to marry him.My father was totally against the idea of me marrying MH in order to help him with the custody of the chil

Dinner was going well...until Mayra showed up. Somehow her presence didn't make Olivia happy, the way she behaved made me think for a moment that she was jealous. If it weren't for her hatred for me...Mayra and I were lovers when I was still married to Giselle, I met Mayra through Daniel, my friend and teammate. They are brothers.After Giselle's death,Mayra went to live outside of Brazil and our relationship ended.After all the confusion with Mayra I thought the night was over...only it wasn't!The kiss,Finally I had killed the craving I had been having after meeting Olivia again,The best thing I had done that night was kiss Olivia. It was always like that,When we kissed,she drove me crazy and wanted more.After the kiss we went back to the car. And again the silence settled between us. The rain had let up but the streets were flooded and I had a hard time getting home.- I guess you'll have to stay here at home - I said, turning off the car - It's impossible to drive in this rain.

The big day had arrived, and I was finally getting to know the feeling of being happy and sad simultaneously. It was strange but it was also possible. To have two feelings at the same time, so opposite.It might sound crazy, but yes, I was happy because I was getting married. Ok, it wasn't the man I was madly in love with, but I had always dreamed of my dress and everything else that makes a bride happy.On the other hand, this was my sadness, I was going to marry Miguel Henrique, the most detestable of the detestable men on earth. Instead of improving, on the contrary, our relationship only got worse. Miguel seemed to have snapped, or rather he seemed to have woken up and gone back to being the same old idiot, the ogre, the one who lived at parties, had lost his chivalry and his irony had increased.But you know that saying that goes like this: "When a woman is angry, she doesn't sleep, she spends the night together with the thousands of other women inside her planning revenge"? So,

Kkkkkkkkk...I already like this grandma- Less Mrs. Laura - he snorted - it was a formal presentation.- I think only this girl is crazy enough to want to marry you - She continued - But okay, there's crazy for everything. Girl, what were you thinking?- This question I ask myself all the time - Miguel squeezed my hand tightly, "But love has these things Ms. Ana, I am crazy about your grandson!Crazy to kill, that's for sure...- Well my child,either you will drive him crazy with rage, or with love - Surely the first option would be my case - But anyway,welcome to the family!I continued talking to Miguel's grandmother and having a great time with the old lady who was telling me how she made her marriage last for years and years, telling me about the many times she took Miguel's grandmother to the hospital when she fought with him and how happy she was during 40 years of marriage. Ana, I didn't know that our marriage was a fake, she was the only one in the family who was spared.The p

Also invited to the dinner were some close friends of Miguel's grandmother and aunt.For the first day of our honeymoon it was fine because it would certainly be boring to be locked inside a house with my husband.We talked, laughed and heard more stories about Lucia's lively youth.- I am totally against marriage," she said while sipping wine, "I apologize to the newlyweds, but I still want to enjoy my life. I bet Helena forced the two of you to get married.You got it right! I've got the rope around my neck!- No, Auntie! -Henrique smiled -We both wanted it.- Look daughter! - Laura said - They love each other!The night continued with more wine and food. I had lost count of how many glasses my beloved husband had drunk. My only fear was that he would lose control of the alcohol and talk too much about our marriage, was that he would say something that would compromise and ruin everything. So first of all I had the idea to ask Miguel to let us go but .....- No way! - Lucia insisted
