Asalea's eyes narrowed. She can guess that the event is a wedding ceremony. So, she will be attending a wedding occasion? "Whose wedding is this?” she asked the man who fetched her. “Yours, Madam.”He said and then got something inside his paper bag. “Please wear this,” the man said handing her a black veil with a tiara in it, beautifully adorned with black diamonds. “What did you say?!” Asalea gasped in surprise. “This is your wedding Madam.” The young man repeated his statement. “Who shall I be marrying?” with narrowed eyes, Asalea asked again. “You will know later on. Please be ready Madam. The wedding march will start.” Then the man step aside and motioned her to walk forward when the wedding march song started to fill the whole astrodome.

Getting nearer the altar, she saw the back of a man standing in front. Asalea surmises that he might be her groom. “Hmm, not bad,” she murmured. Slowly the man turned his back and faced her when she was already walking almost beside him. Asalea's eyes grew big when she recognized the man. “Hello, my pretty vampy.” He whispered, intensely looking at her with his ocean-like deep blue eyes.

Divorciados y vueltos a casar. Ya ni sé cuántas veces Aaron y yo hemos pasado por lo mismo. Antes me trataba como si yo fuera lo más valioso para él, pero no había pasado ni un año de la boda cuando me pidió el divorcio por primera vez. La razón era sencilla: Vivian iba a regresar. —Vivian es una figura pública —me dijo—. No quiero que nadie piense que se está metiendo con un hombre casado. Esa actriz de cuarta no era nadie si no fuera por el sacrificio de su padre. Le dieron un balazo que iba para Aaron. Una vida por otra. Y por eso, Aaron sentía que le debía todo. Cada vez que Vivian volvía al país, Aaron se divorciaba de mí. Y cada vez que se iba, nos volvíamos a casar. La primera vez que terminamos, ahogué mis penas en whisky y volví a su casa a tropezones, medio borracha. Las luces de la casa se veían cálidas. Estaba con ella. Y yo me quedé afuera, temblando de frío, resistiendo la noche entera. La segunda vez, le seguí el rastro a todos lados; restaurantes, subastas, galas de beneficencia, solo para “encontrármelo por accidente” una y otra vez. Con el tiempo, aprendí. En cuanto mencionaba el divorcio, yo hacía mi maleta en silencio y me iba de su mansión sin hacer ruido. Mi amor y la humillación me mantuvieron atrapada en ese ciclo interminable de rupturas y reconciliaciones. Pero esta vez, cuando Aaron me esperó en el registro civil para volver a casarnos, no fui.

Después de perseguir a mi amor platónico, Edward Lightwood, durante diez años, finalmente me aceptó como su vínculo de sangre. Sin embargo, el día en que íbamos a hacer nuestro voto eterno, su primer amor, Beth, del clan aliado, fue asesinada por una banda de cazadores de vampiros. Él me culpó por su pérdida y me atormentó todos los días. Me expuso al sol eterno, me atravesó con estacas de madera sin llegar a matarme y luego me encerró en su sótano. Agotada y con el corazón roto, agarré la estaca de roble y me apuñalé el pecho frente a él. Me suicidé. Pero no morí. Renací en el día en que le había confesado mis sentimientos a Edward. Pero esta vez, no repetiré mi error. Me mantendré lejos de él.

Después de sufrir una caída mientras estaba embarazada, mi hijo de seis años, Antonio Juárez, no corrió a ayudarme. Cuando desperté, ya había perdido al bebé. Junto a mi cama del hospital, Antonio se escondía detrás de Manuel Juárez y murmuraba en voz baja: —¡Yo pensé que mamá otra vez se había desmayado a propósito para llamar mi atención! ¡Ya lo había hecho varias veces para que no saliera a jugar con Dulce! Manuel dijo con frialdad: —Siempre recurres a estas escenas para llamar la atención. Antonio ya ni siquiera confía en ti. Deberías pensar bien por qué prefiere estar con Dulce y no contigo. Sentí que el corazón se me hacía pedazos. Al día siguiente de que me dieron el alta, volví a casa, recogí todas mis cosas y solo dejé un acuerdo de divorcio y un documento en el que renunciaba a todo vínculo materno-filial con Antonio.
