2023-02-15 09:29:03Mia's grandparents were in the foyer of the house when the girl entered. They were expecting a scolding from her grandmother and a look of disappointment from her grandfather, but none of that happened. They were both smiling as if they didn't know that she had run away from the party, but if they called Rebeca it was because they already knew.
"Did you have fun with your friends?" Her grandfather was the first to approach Mia.
"A lot, Grandpa" Mia didn't know what was going on, but when her grandfather firmly took her hand, she knew that something was wrong at that moment.
The man guided his granddaughter into the living room, where she could see more people. Her grandmother was smiling at her, and it was clear that something was not normal, causing alarms to go off for Mia.
"She is quite beautiful," a middle-aged man stood up to welcome her. "Right, Nicolas?"
That name made Mia look at the person standing next to the man. It was him, the guy who saved her the night before, the one who hugged her. But what was he doing in her grandparents' house?
"It's true, she's really beautiful." Nicolas smiled at Mia but frowned when he saw that she wasn't wearing the same clothes as the night before. Instead, she was wearing a society girl's dress.
Mia was invited by her grandmother to sit down. The girl was in a daze since the night before. It seemed that she was not able to think clearly, and she was lost in her thoughts. The others were talking happily until a big scream from Mia was heard all over the Brown mansion.
"Don't scream, it's not proper for young ladies of your class, Mia." Her grandmother scolded her and pulled her arm to make her sit down again.
"How can I not scream?" Mia was beside herself, and the indomitable spirit that enchanted Nicolas came out again. "Are you all out of your minds?"
"It's your duty, Miranda." Her grandfather spoke loudly, calling her by her name, making the girl realize that it was not a joke. "We have been patient, but you are already 22 years old. You can't keep wasting time. You don't want to take charge of the company, so you must marry someone who is willing to do it."
"Grandfather!" Another scream came out of Mia's mouth.
"I am not going to continue spoiling you. She was my granddaughter, and I love you. That's why I found the best option of all. Nicolas is young and already has experience managing big companies. He is from a decent family."
"I won't do it. I will never marry someone as horrible as him!" Mia wanted to kill Nicolas with her eyes. "I don't know him, I refuse."
"You're getting married because I say you will. There's nothing more to say. The ceremony will take place in winter, just after Mia's 23rd birthday."
The girl ran off to her room, followed by Nicolas, who received a blow to the side from his father to go and meet his fiancée. The truth was that Nicolas' father expected the boy to refuse, but as soon as he saw the picture of the girl in the living room of the house, he didn't hesitate for a second and accepted the Brown's offer.
"Yesterday, you didn't think it was horrible." Nicolas thought that with the two of them alone, Mia would stop making drama and go back to being the sweet girl of the night before. "It's destiny."
"Get away from me!" Mia felt her blood boil. "This was all your plan. You followed me and then made me spend the night with you. You're a pervert, Nicolas Lennox! I hate you. Get out of my room."
A pillow crashed on Nicolas' face, but the boy not only didn't leave the room, he just kissed the pillow, which made Mia go looking for the object. The two were struggling for a while until they fell on the bed, and Nicolas grabbed Mia's face to kiss her.
The girl followed the kiss, closing her eyes and enjoying the taste, but it didn't last long as she bit Nicolas' lip and pushed him until he stood up, and she kept pushing him out of the room.
"Was that a yes?" Nicolas joked a little to put Mia in a bad mood.
"Death! I will never marry you!"
When Nicolas came back down to the living room, he had a big smile on his face and touched his lips. There was a little blood, and the wound burned, but the way he got it, it was totally worth it.
"You must get to know each other better," Mia's grandfather said to Nicolas. "There are two months left for the wedding. You must have at least two dates a week. I will make sure she accepts it. I don't want anyone to know the real reason behind it."
"No one will know, Mr. Brown," Nicolas' father shook his hand, closing the business.
"In 20 days, the official announcement will be made."
The meeting was over, everything was said. There was nothing Mia could do to make her grandparents give up the wedding, and Nicolas was more than happy to be able to marry his untamed beast. He was dying to have her back in his arms.
Mia was furious, especially with her grandmother, believing that it was her plan all along. Despite owing a lot to her grandparents, she believed they could not dispose of her life.
"What a scene you put on downstairs, Miranda," Mia's grandmother said, entering her granddaughter's room. "So many screams and tantrums to finally have to accept that it is your responsibility."
"This is your fault, grandma," Mia retorted, angry. "It hurts you to see me happy, doesn't it?"
"Of course not. Your grandfather said so, child," her grandmother replied.
Mia realized that it was her grandfather who held the final decision, and she quickly went down to his office to plead with him.
"Dada," Mia addressed her grandfather, a name she hadn't used in years.
"No, Mia, it's a decision made," her grandfather responded, aware of her attempts to persuade him.
"But grandfather, this is your wife's idea. I know you love me, and you won't let me suffer," Mia argued.
"You won't suffer, Mia, but it's something you have to do," her grandfather replied.
Mia was about to start another tantrum, but her grandfather touched her chest, and she fainted, letting out a loud scream. Nicolas came in and carried her grandfather out in his arms, but Mia was too preoccupied with her grandfather's condition to notice.

Mia got into Nicolas' car, holding her grandfather's head. She felt guilty for being the one to blame for her grandfather fainting. She was determined to break off the engagement, and her emotions overcame her, causing tears to run down Mia's cheeks like a river. "Don't worry, he will be fine," Nicolas saw the girl in the rearview mirror and felt the need to comfort her. "The hospital is not far away, and you will see that everything will be fine." "Grandpa, please open your eyes," the girl wanted to believe what Nicolas was telling her, but seeing the situation, she couldn't help but think the worst. "Dada, I'll do whatever you say, but please wake up." While it was true that Nicolas wanted to marry Mia, in the end, he knew that his parents had played dirty to get the great Arthur Brown to give as a guarantee to his granddaughter. The truth was that the great empire had suffered many losses in recent years, and Arthur was too old to take over the management of such a large business

At the hospital, a team of doctors and nurses was already prepared to assist Arturo. It was Nicolas' parents who called the hospital and followed their son's car, with Mrs. Brown inside. Despite the chaos, the only one who couldn't maintain her composure was Mia. Her grandmother, who knew what was happening, remained calm. After all, the couple had lived together for 60 wonderful years, and she knew that the end was near. Besides, it was not Arturo's first attack. "Grandma, Grandpa, me..." Mrs. Brown considered telling her granddaughter that this was normal, but she and her husband knew they had to make Mia accept it. "Calm down, Miranda. Everything will be fine, but I hope you understand that your grandfather and I only want the best for you," Mrs. Brown said sternly. "No more childish scandals. You must obey us." "I'll do whatever you ask of me from now on," Mia said. Mrs. Brown knew that her granddaughter's will was not very strong, but she had grown up sheltered from the family

Mia was weak, so Nicolas had to carry her almost the entire way to her grandfather's room. He found the old man connected to monitoring machines, appearing to be asleep but with a worried and guilty expression on his face. He had never wanted to sell his granddaughter and didn't want her life to be marked by duty, but he had no choice. The decision weighed heavily on him."Grandma, go eat something," Mia said. "I want to talk to my grandfather for a while." Mrs. Brown approached her husband and kissed him goodbye, knowing it might be the last time. The kiss caused the man to open his eyes as if he wanted to see the face of his life partner."I haven't taught them to live without me yet," Arturo said with a broken voice, looking at the two women he loved most in his life."It was long enough to love you," Mrs. Brown replied, her voice shaking.Arturo's gaze shifted to Mia and then down to the waist of the girl who was being held up by Nicolas.

The Brown Empire was coveted by many, and this led Mia to mature overnight. She stopped thinking about trivial things that had worried her until that morning. She almost laughed when she saw a message from her ex-boyfriend on her cell phone. She used to yearn for that to happen, but now it didn't matter to her anymore. She no longer wanted to be his girlfriend when she had to be another man's wife. A man who had embraced her, trying to hold her up so that she wouldn't fall. It was as if he didn't want her to suffer, but in the end, nothing mattered anymore. The past was buried, and now the future of her surname was all that mattered to her.Nicolas took Mia out of the hospital and asked her to rest. She hadn't slept well since the previous night.

On the journey to the hotel, during the time it took Nicolas to inform his parents that they had arrived, Mia settled into the room. However, Nicolas's mood soured as a photo of Mia reached his cell phone – a photo taken on the morning of their wedding day. There she was, wearing her wedding dress, locked in an embrace and sharing a passionate kiss with a man whose face remained hidden from view. The sight of Mia, tears streaming down her face as she kissed a man who wasn't him, erased the calmness from Nicolas's voice, replacing it with a rabid ferocity."Why did you kiss him just before marrying me?" His words dripped with a seething anger as he burst into the room, demanding an explanation from his newly-wedded wife."You're such a slut," Nicolas's formerly composed tone had vanished, replaced by the snarl of a wounded beast."Because it's him I love. He's the one I want to be with," Mia retorted defiantly."You're repulsive.""I'm repulsive? What about you, who bought a wealthy wi

Upon arriving back in the country, they got into a car, leaving Mia with no chance to escape, once again."Are you going to stay like this the whole way?" Nicolas was tired of the lifeless expression on Mia's face. Since disembarking the plane, she seemed devoid of soul, as if her body had lost all its vitality. "Do you want me to stop for breakfast? It's still a long way to our house.""I'm not hungry.""I didn't know you lived on air. You're the perfect woman for a poor man, very cheap. Honestly, marrying me wasn't worth it.""I thought the same thing, but you insisted on buying me."Nicolas didn't say anything; he simply continued to drive, aiming to reach their destination as quickly as possible. With the threat of his wife's escape looming, they were well-prepared. Two SUVs led the way, and two more followed behind, ensuring that no one could take Mia away.

Solitude was something Mia cherished in that house, a place that always seemed crowded with people who watched her every move, waiting for her to make a mistake so they could report it to Nicolas. Meanwhile, fury consumed him. He longed for the right to barge into the bathroom and take a shower with his wife, but it wasn't possible. She would kick him out, so he retreated to the garden, as far away as he could, to contain his rage."I brought you more coffee," Ana resumed her duties as a secretary swiftly.

Things in the mansion were far from good. Arguments were constant, and Mia lived in profound darkness. She cried from the moment she woke up, barely ate, and when she wasn't crying, she was fighting with Nicolas. Things couldn't be worse; it was all torture.

The days in Nicolas' mansion seemed to stretch endlessly. Mia found herself trapped in her room, her voluntary prison, contemplating the life she had left behind and the love she yearned for with all her heart. The distance from Esteban made her suffer, and the coldness with which she treated Nicolas only made things worse. Every attempt he made to get closer to her was met with icy glances and sharp words.However, deep in her heart, Mia knew that she couldn't go on like this forever. Nullifying the marriage and returning the money Nicolas had given to her family was an option, but the reality of her deceased grandfather and the responsibility she now had over the Brown empire forced her to consider other alternatives.One afternoon, while wandering through the mansion's expansive garden, Mia made a decision. She decided it was time to take a step toward peace, even if it was a small one. She approached Nicolas, who was sitting by the pool, gazing at the reflection of the sun on the
