A hasty signature in exchange for something hidden.

A hasty signature in exchange for something hidden.

Minutes later.

A cotton swab passes over the nose of the blonde Lucrecia, making her come to her senses, feeling in turn, that someone was holding her in his arms, she is dazed by the drinks, her eyes open slowly, although somewhat foggy and cloudy, but seconds later she recovers the visibility of her eyes, everyone was with their eyes fixed on the young Lucrecia, while the attractive Jeff, caresses her super long and straight hair.

-How do you feel, love? -Jeff asks.

Just the word love made his soul shudder, when affection was in a person that just hours ago he met, and now she is married, welcome to real life, who cares, they had to pretend that they knew each other and now their life would be different, although there were rules.

-I'm fine, dear, I'm just a little hot, this long dress makes me feel hot," said the young woman, avoiding the drinks she had a few minutes before, without anyone seeing her.

-I'm sorry for everything that's happening to you, it's a lot of stress that you're handling," Vera tells her.

-It's nighttime," she says.

-It is, love," says Jeff.

Jeff, without thinking, takes her in his arms again, and takes her to the matrimonial chair, a waiter brings a sugar water for her to drink.

-What's wrong, baby? -asks Atengo Jeff.

-What's going to happen tomorrow? -She asks carefully.

-I don't know, but every day brings its own worries," he says, placing a kiss on her cheek.

-Relax, by the way, we'll be leaving now, we have to get to our honeymoon at the appointed time," Jeff tells her.

-Don't remind me about that," says the annoyed young Lucrecia.

-It's honeymoon, remember that I won't do anything you don't want me to do," says the handsome young man with those sparkling eyes.

-I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm saying, we'd better get out of here, and I know there's a limo waiting for us," replies the sweet young woman, grabbing Jeff's hand, a little shaky, she places a kiss on his cheek, making him understand that she is just going through a crisis.

Her mother's intervention kicks in.

-Daughter, the limousine is waiting for you," her mother says happily, oblivious to what her daughter Lucrecia was really feeling.

Lucrecia raises her eyes and says: '-'Mother, relax, I'll write you a letter, ok, just to let you know what projects I have in mind''-she says while intertwining her fingers in her hair, when she sees a stranger approaching.

-I see that there is a real wedding, and that love unites you, then I have seen enough, take this contract, so you can finish the University under a full scholarship, you decide if you do it in person or virtually,'' says the clean and serious looking male man.

Poor Lucrecia had no head to think.

-If it's real, you can tell, well anyway, I'll read the contract and sign it, and I'll let you know when it arrives," said Lucrecia.

-You must sign it right away, because since it comes into effect before you will receive it, you'd better decide if it's virtual or in person," the man warns her.

-Daughter, just sign, I have already reread the contract 30 times, in short, you must not drop below 8 to keep your scholarship, it's eights, nines and you say, you can't even afford a seven, daughter, just sign, you're stunned I know, but sign," says the mother with a desperate voice.

Jeff stares at the blonde, takes her hands and says:

-Sign love, I'll help you, we'll be in this together, I'll help you, baby girl just sign -says young Jeff with those sparkling eyes, as if they were a crystal.

A strong electricity runs through the young blonde's body, making her shiver just listening to Jeff's voice, her shoulders tense up.

-Sign," her father pleads so insistently that the voice makes her pick up the pen and sign at once.

Lucrecia signs the contract that she never read, she only puts her signature a little tense and trembling, this was already too much for her, signing 10 pages was like signing 100 pages and like the endless maze with no way out.

The blonde Lucrecia handed the contract into the hands of that man that even she did not know who he was or what his name was.

The smile of Lucrecia's parents is filled with an enormous happiness, she only observes them and in her mind she says to herself ''What are they hiding from me, why so much happiness, what will they give her in exchange for signing with a stranger, what will he give her in exchange and I don't even know the man's name.

A husky male voice, but at the same time graceful, intervenes.

-Hello, the limo is ready, holy power, who is she? -he meows.

-Who are you? -Jeff asks in amazement.

-Your new chauffeur, I'll take you to your honeymoon, I'm in charge of that, and I'm also paid," says the young man with a graceful voice, looking at the young blonde.

Lucrecia just frowns, and sinks her head into Jeff's bag.

-Okay, we're leaving," Jeff says, as he tries to get Lucretia to stand up.

Lucrecia stands up all listless, she goes to say goodbye to everyone, while everyone makes a happy face, they all thought that Lucrecia's listless face was just pure tiredness, but they didn't know the mess she had in her mind.

Lucrecia's thoughts ''Honeymoon, what will I do today, I can't, I have to sleep many hours, a week to know where because nobody told me anything, I thought it was cancelled''.

Her friend vera approaches, Lucrecia gets nervous, vera only sees Lucrecia's eyes a little sad, and confused.

-I'm sorry dear, I tried to stop the honeymoon, and it couldn't be cancelled, everyone went crazy, and the hotel, they were so demanding, I didn't want to give the money to Julio's parents and well that happened, I tried, but they said there had to be a wedding, and I can't help you," she whispers in her ear.

The blonde Lucrecia can feel a thousand stabs in her heart, just by mentioning the name Julio, she answers in a whisper to Vera.

-Don't mention him again, I hate him, he hurt me, and that name is better to forget it, it feels like sharp forks in my stomach and heart and the last thing I want is to remember him, I would like to erase everything, you know that now I made a new life, with someone who deposits kisses every 3 minutes on my mouth or my cheek," she whispers.

Vera listens to him and a very sad thing enters her soul, but she is right.

-Don't worry, congratulations, you can see that this young man loves you with his soul," Vera whispers.

-I'm afraid, get me out of here," she whispers in a little desperation.

-What? -Vera asks him, taking his hand.

Both look each other in the eyes, Jeff grabs Lucrecia by her waist, and she can feel how love spreads, she feels everything, she feels that she loves him, she feels good, but at the same time it's a mixture of fear, that prevents her from moving forward.

-Bye, I have to go," she says, hugging Vera goodbye.

Jeff grabs her hand and they both leave.

Jeff opens the door, Lucrecia gets in and sits in the soft seat, Jeff also sits in the limo and the young male chauffeur gets in, and looks at the whole scene through the rearview mirror.

The chauffeur just starts the limo and they are on their way to the other luxury hotel called the garden.

The tired blonde Lucrecia sinks her head into Jeff's bag and falls fast asleep.
