"Very well, Alma. The bill for your mother's surgery has already been paid and your performance has gone better than I expected, you have fulfilled your end of the bargain. Edan said, frowning."But there is still a lack of false marriage, why haven't we done it?" Alma answered, confused. He clenched his jaw."There's been a change of plans..." Edan glanced sideways at Diego, who was present. That's why I introduced you to my lawyer, we need to make some changes to the terms we had negotiated.“What do you mean? Edan swallowed at Alma's question."The false notary, he never came..." And my mother has come up with the idea of having a friend of hers marry us, who is here..." Alma raised an eyebrow, fitting the pieces together. "He's a royal notary.“What?! No! Are you talking about us really getting married? She shouted, making Edan straighten up tensely."Before you say anything else!" Diego interjected. "Let me explain, Alma. The terms will be the same, there will be no more contact
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 9 — Husband and Wife
They all gathered to start the marriage, but something wasn't right, although Alma was smiling in front of everyone, Edan couldn't help but notice a glint of hostility and anger in her eyes every time she looked at him, and that, he didn't like.A new and unfamiliar feeling was beginning to form inside Edan, he felt guilty, perhaps he had been too Alma.Only, he is a very explosive person when he gets angry, it was a common thing in his behavior and never before, he had cared if his attitude affected someone else.But now, seeing her angry, pretending to be happy next to him, Edan couldn't help but feel that she hadn't behaved in the right way with Alma and that was something new.Why now, and why did he care with her?Edan didn't know, he only understood one thing, he didn't want Alma to be angry with him anymore."Now I declare you, husband and wife. The notary said. "You can kiss the bride."Edan and Alma looked at each other, he was calm, while she turned red as a tomato.Time see

"Until I finally see your face, my dear!" Vivian hissed sarcastically, leaving the door of her apartment open for Edan to enter."I was very busy. He murmured.Edan walked in and closed the door, immediately began to loosen his tie, preparing for a passionate reconciliation. Of course, after he had calmed Vivian's bad mood.That was the norm in their relationship."Did you get what I sent?" Edan asked, in the middle of the room, noticing that Vivian didn't turn to look at his face."Are you talking about those ridiculous flowers and cheap chocolates? She growled, pointing to a table in the corner, where the gifts were still intact, the flowers beginning to wither, for they had not been put in water. "Do you think you can buy me off with that crap?"Vivian, I told you; my father was hospitalized..." She turned, snorting. "He's in a very serious condition.Edan had called Vivian several times to tell her about her father's unfortunate situation, but about marriage and about Alma, she ha
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 11 – Peace Offering
Edan didn't want to make a new insult to Alma, he still felt guilty for how he spoke to her that same morning, that's why he left quickly, trying to control himself, although inside, he felt betrayed.With the fact that she talked about her contract, no matter who it was and whoever it was, he felt it was a violation of his trust.Besides, there was his inappropriate approach to that man, that simple Doctor, on top of all that, it was driving him crazy.Ever since Edan met her, he thought she was an honest, innocent, and kind young woman. Now, I didn't know what to believe about Alma."Edan, wait! He felt someone tugging at the sleeve of his jacket and turned around, still frowning. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for anyone to find out, I understand the nondisclosure agreement and I know I failed, but I had to tell my mother the truth and Mateo listened..." Edan looked up at the young woman, his frown diminished, although his eyes still seemed somewhat dull. Alma, on the other hand, loo

Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 13 – Empathic
Alma went back to the hospital, with the check that had just been given to her in her hands, she kept looking at him as tears streamed down her face.Why did the problems keep coming? Why did it all pile up? Why did he feel that everything was against him?"Enough of crying," she said to herself as she stood in front of the hospital, covered her red face a little with some makeup, and left, determined, to her mother's room.Everything changed as soon as he entered and saw her smiling faintly, at that moment he knew that it was all worth it and that, as long as they were alive, there was hope.But by that same afternoon, another unsettling thought was coming to her: Why didn't Edan show up?He was supposed to pick her up to visit her father, which was part of the contract and it was part of the show.As the hours passed, Alma began to worry. He even reproached himself for his stupidity, how could he not ask Edan for his cell phone number in case of an emergency? At least then, I could
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

Henry grumbled angrily."How do you ask that?" We are your family. Vivian replied, pretending to be indignant."You say so... The first one who came to point at me and accuse me?"
