Cuando yo estaba embarazada de cuatro meses, mi esposo médico me dejó plantada 16 veces cuando íbamos a registrar nuestro matrimonio. La primera vez, su amante, la enfermerita Lucía, se desmayó por la sangre durante una cirugía. Esperé todo el día frente a la oficina de registro. La segunda vez, recibió una llamada de Lucía. Me abandonó en el puente elevado solo para comprarle toallas sanitarias. Cada vez que intentábamos registrar el matrimonio, su amante encontraba una nueva excusa. La última vez, escuché que él estaba enfermo. Corrí al hospital bajo la lluvia torrencial, solo para descubrir que era la Lucía quien estaba enferma. Él permaneció a su lado sin moverse, mientras me mentía descaradamente por teléfono. En ese momento, comencé a odiarlo. Decidí abortar y marcharme. Pero él recorrió medio mundo, persiguiéndome hasta otro país, solo para suplicarme perdón.

Mi hijo me pidió algo que no podía darle. —Solo tres oportunidades, mamá —susurró—. Si después de eso realmente no nos ama... nos iremos para siempre. Estaba hablando de su padre, Giovanni Romano, el heredero de un imperio mafioso y mi esposo solo de nombre. Él nunca nombró a mi hijo como suyo y no me dijo que me amaba ni una sola vez. En la primera oportunidad, a Giovanni le falló la memoria, en la segunda, mintió y en la tercera... rompió algo que ninguna disculpa podía arreglar. Así que empacamos nuestras maletas, tomé la mano de mi hijo y nos fuimos. Sin lágrimas ni despedidas, solo en silencio. La noche en que nuestro avión despegó, mi teléfono vibró. “Espera”, decía su mensaje. “Regresaré a casa”. Pero ya mi casa no estaba donde él estaba, sino donde mi hijo finalmente pudiera dormir sin llorar. Porque algunas promesas no se rompen, se destruyen, y algunas madres se cansan de esperar.

I had never imagined my life would eventually turn into a business deal. But when my father's hospital bills reached a surprisingly huge amount, I thought that was all not until my landlord decided I was better off homeless. At this point, I had no choice but to sign a contract with Alexander Pierce, a man whose presence alone screams arrogance and pride with power. The deal was simple: marry him for a year and three months, feign to be his devoted loving wife, and in turn, I will regain my financial freedom. But I can't say there was something simple about Alexander. His gaze burns too deep, his touches linger too long, and harder it becomes to state what's real or fake. I signed a contract. I never signed up for falling in love. But tell that to my heart.
