Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 14 – The Supper
The news of Edan's father's surgery was a pleasant surprise, however, Alma couldn't get it out of her head that it would change things a lot.The contract was supposed to cover a short period of time, a maximum of one month, which was the maximum life that Mr. O'Connor was given, but now that he had had the heart transplant, what would happen?For the time being, Edan explained that everything would remain the same, only now, they would visit Mr. O'Connor at the clinic, but that did not convince Alma at all.However, he had no choice but to hold up his end of the bargain to at least secure his mother's treatment.And since the contract also stipulated accompanying him to some extra activities, such as family gatherings, Alma couldn't refute much when Edan informed her about the upcoming family dinner.*Edan's apartment turned out to be impressive, the living room alone being about the size of Alma's house.Decorated with a modern and simple design, typical of a single man, it also ha

Angelica's voice sounded loud.“Edan! I'm talking to you..." He turned around with a little start, and his mother looked at him contemptuously. "I was telling you that, before we go, I must give you something..."Edan turned to his mother, who was digging into her handbag. And while Alma seemed very focused on her talk with Ethan, she also kept a small part of her attention on Edan and his mother.Finally, Angelica took out a sealed envelope, which she placed in Edan's hands."Before I went into surgery, your father asked me to prepare this for you..." Edan looked at the envelope in his hands, confused. "He told me that no matter the outcome of his surgery, I should give you this from us and you should accept it..." It's a small detail because of their marriage, something small because of the circumstances. Edan opened the small envelope and before he could finish taking out what was inside, his mother finished. “ It's a trip for you, to a resort on the Island of Q, with everything pa

“What?“We can add it as an extra job.“No! You told me you'd figure it out."I know and I'm sorry, but I haven't found a way..." Edan sighed in frustration. "I can't just turn it down, it's the gift my father left us on his deathbed."And do you think money will solve it?"Edan didn't understand the question, Why did she have to make this complicated? Was it a job, or not? Just like the one Alma had been doing so far pretending to be his wife and surely, the extra money wouldn't hurt.“What's the matter? We'll leave on Saturday, simulate a bit for the photos and come back on Sunday, it's not a big deal."What isn't?" I can't just leave, what about my brothers? And my mother?"That's easy, I'll take your mother to a clinic and we'll leave her with a personal nurse, as we had already arranged, your brothers, we'll leave them with the nanny, like on dinner day, was there a problem with her?""No, but that's not...""Please, Alma... It's a resort, it will serve you to rest and you'll ear
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 17 — Doubts
Everything was ready, the ambulance had arrived, the only thing they were waiting for to leave the hospital and transfer Luz Rivas to a prestigious clinic, was for Alma, who was taking longer than expected, to say goodbye to her friend."Why are you taking her?" Here we have taken good care of her, I have been keeping an eye on her personally and in a short time, she will be discharged. Matthew muttered in a desperate tone."I know, I know, I'm sorry..." And I thank you very much, but..." Alma muttered with some sorrow.“But? Mateo asked, changing his countenance, looking serious.“Matthew. Alma sighed deeply. "First of all, I must think of my mother's well-being..." And my family.Matthew felt his heart sink, he knew, he was sure, that everything Alma did and all the decisions he made, he did it out of necessity alone, in order for his family to be well.Without considering their own well-being."I'm worried—" Mateo began, glancing sideways at Edan, who was scowling at them from a di
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 18 – An Acted-Out Honeymoon
Alma had never been on a plane, not only that, in fact, she had never set foot in an airport before.And it seemed unbelievable that the first time I would take a plane trip, it would be with a handsome CEO on a private flight.But it was true, it was happening.And not only that, but it was also supposed to be their honeymoon, well, at the very least, it would be an acted-out honeymoon.The process to catch the flight was pretty quick, not like in the movies or soap operas she had seen, where they have to go through different checkpoints.But since it was a private flight, it was understandable.When she got on the plane, Alma's weight fell much harder than she was doing, her nerves and her internal alarms went off.She was going on a trip with an attractive man she had met only a couple of weeks ago. That was crazy.And the fact that he was flying, for the first time in his life, increased his nervousness.They started the engines, and Alma clenched her nails into the armrests of he
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 19 – A Real Honeymoon
The restaurant was as beautiful as the rest of the resort, elegant, full of lights, with fine glassware, everything seemed to sparkle for Alma's eyes.While, in Edan's eyes, the one who shone the brightest in that whole room, was Alma, who wore a beautiful pink dress with embroidery.The newlywed couple dined with the Waltons and although for Edan, the talk was tedious, for Alma, it was entertaining, since, once again, the champagne had given her more confidence in her words.The conversation was mostly trivial, and Alma seemed to have a knack for getting along with people, for before long, the Waltons were laughing along with her.Suddenly, however, the conversation changed course."How is your father, Edan?" Bill Walton asked.“Recovering. Edan murmured, taking a sip from his glass.“I'm glad! Your mother told me that he would be discharged soon.Just hearing that affirmation, Edan felt a startle and slid his eyes to Alma, noticing how she immediately tensed up, watching them with c

“Edan? Why didn't you tell me about your father? Alma insisted, making him react from his reverie.“That was... I... I found out recently, it was a last-minute thing and... I wanted to find the right time to tell you..." He answered, finally, with a serious expression. Alma nodded, however, not entirely convinced by his answer.“Why?"What, why?" Edan swallowed thickly, fearing her reaction or her possible refusal. Possibly, this will change the circumstance of our covenant... And probably, they will ask you to extend our contract or they could change some clauses, of course, by mutual agreement. Edan paused, looking Alma in the eye, taking both of her hands. "And I know all this is a lot to ask, but I promise to pay you very well, give you good bonuses and help you in any way I can with your family..." But... Alma, right now, really... I need you.Alma detailed Edan's expression feeling his pulse quicken, he seemed sincere, he was really worried.And hearing those last words, "I need
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 21 – Good Person
After pondering for a long time what had just happened, Edan turned to go after Alma.Now, he felt guilty for the way he took it, in such an impetuous, abrupt, and unforeseen way, but he never thought about that possibility and still, it seemed incredible to him.She was a virgin! Being such a beautiful, sweet, intelligent, and kind woman, how come no man had touched her?While Alma practically ran into the room, looking for some clothes to cover herself, dead with embarrassment. How was it that she had allowed things to go this far?And it is that, for the first time in her life, she felt something like that for a man and it is not that she had never dated a boy before, if she dated a couple of times, but between her studies, her work, and her responsibilities, she did not have time to reach something more.Her boyfriends would end up leaving her before they even had a chance to touch her, because she never had time for them.Edan entered the room and found Alma dressed in simple paj
