Sasha J. Morales

-There's no way you can go alone?

-Hmm, I don’t think it’s ideal. Please Sasha

It was Saturday, an ordinary weekend for others but not for me.

This Saturday marked an important turning point in my life.

I went to see my parents again, after 6 years. I was anxious, stressed and especially wanted to vomit but I refrained from showing my discomfort to John since he seemed delighted to go pick them up from the airport and insisted that I accompany him.

My parents traveled from Chicago and he thought I should at least make the effort to be there when they arrived. But I didn't want to.

-You know I'm not going to run away if you leave me alone to go get them

Or maybe yes

-I trust you but I refuse to take the risk, so you come with me, go stand up.

I was still lying in my pajamas from the day before trying to think of a lie to delay the confrontation but John saw through my game a little too quickly. He pulls my feet and forces me to get out of bed, limits if he do

    Sasha J. Morales Silence. Nobody speaks anymore. You could almost hear the flies flying. You could say I just ruined the mood. After all, I was tired of hearing her talk about me as if she knew me. As if she had nothing to reproach herself for -What ? Go on, keep going. I say, emptying my glass in one go. Tell them how you wanted to sell me to save a so-called friendship with the mother of my rapist, please mom. She seems embarrassed, uncomfortable. Well that's not my problem. Jonathan squeezes my thigh to signal me to stop and calm down but I don't give a damn. She was the one who started it. -And you, Dad? Please tell me how you didn't want to believe me when I told you what that idiot did to me?? I pause and look at them in turn. You have nothing more to say?? Well that's what I thought. I get up, ignoring the cries of John and my friends. I just revealed an important part of my life in front of Jonathan's parents and people I don't know, I'm angry at myself but I was t

    Damon Westwood -So I'm going to paint her portrait again. Good thing I always thought he needed a rhinoplasty. I can't help but laugh. June was as usual in my office sprawled on my couch as if she didn't have work waiting. I told her what happened with Ella a week ago now, but she refuses to let it go and comes to my office every chance she gets to curse her. -Damon, I have a serious question for you -Try to ask her and we'll see if she's serious or not. -How did you manage to marry this….thing? I frown as I look at her. Really ? This thing ? -A bad turn of fate I would say In truth, I never thought I would marry a woman like Ella. -Definitely yes. Destiny has a funny sense of humor. She starts laughing. Destiny makes you marry a woman you don't love after you fall in love with her best friend. The irony of it. I roll my eyes excessively. Well with her these last days it happens a lot, I think I will be able to see my brain by doing it. -June, my darling we have a parade

    Damon Westwood Sasha has just left and I feel like she just left me in the middle of an erupting volcano. Ella looks like she's about to explode and if she does in the hallway we risk becoming the subject of gossip for days to come. This has already been the case for a while but I didn't care but now it risks ruining my plan if it reaches my father's ears. I pull her into my office before she starts making a scene. -Let me go Damon!! Let go of me right now! She breaks free from my grip and glares at me. -How dare she show up here? And behave like this? She comes and goes in my office and I just sit on the couch in my office. -And you let her do what you want! No, but what’s wrong with you? She's so mad with rage that I think smoke is going to come out of her ears. As for me, his spectacle neither warms nor colds me. I just stare at her, looking perfectly bored. -Tell me Damon, where were you with her? -On the roof -And why do ? -She needed comfort and a quie

    Sasha J. Morales -Are you going to continue to sulk at me for much longer? Jonathan tries as best he can to cheer me up but I don't make it that easy for him. It’s true that he was educated in a united and loving family, I was not as lucky as him. And I understand that he insists on reconciling me with my parents. I don't mind his ideal, but the fact that he doesn't support me puts a damper on my morale. -I'm not sulking at you, Jonathan, just that I don't feel the need to talk to you at the moment. He probably looks annoyed by my behavior but I don't care if he's annoyed that he's having a drink like I'm doing. That will surely calm him down. He pulls out the stool in front of me and grabs a drink. He imitates me and we drink our respective drinks in cathedral silence. The house is empty, my parents are out shopping and it's just us. He puts down his glass. -Sasha please. He said in a whisper. I hate it when we're cold. Already with your parents, the atmosphere at home is not

    Damon Westwood -Come on, everyone, let's get busy, everything has to be ready on time. It was the day of the show and fashion week had started two days ago now and the city, which was already bustling, was full of people, whether fashion personalities or even big names in influence. The streets were almost empty and the models were running from show to show. It was madness. Sapphire gave their fashion show yesterday and I must admit that it wasn't bad but they remain a little too much in their comfort zone, their news is only seen and seen again. Jonathan must seriously think about renewing his teams otherwise Sapphire risks not lasting long in the industry. Ours was this evening with June we are there to sort out the last details. After a fierce struggle with other houses we were finally able to have the central for our parade. We were near the lake and the atmosphere was perfect. -Come on kids, clean this aisle properly, Christian almost fell during rehearsals and I don't want

    Sasha Morales -And you decided to give them to him? We had moved away from the crowds looking for a quiet place to chat. I can't quite decipher John's emotions. He looks confused and angry. -I was angry and I wanted to teach you a lesson after you forgot me when you invited my parents and I was tired of being refused, so I tried my luck elsewhere. -And it was at Haute Hera that you decided to try your luck?? Why exactly? Why not somewhere else? I really don't know what to say -June is my friend and I already worked at Hera, you know that well, so for me it was an obvious solution. Jonathan's face softens and I'm a little surprised -Are you sure this is the one and only reason? -Yes…Why would there be another one? He looks around before spotting a bench not far from a tree. He takes me by the hand and leads us there. We take a seat and he runs a hand through his hair. -Sasha, you are sure that you have nothing to tell me, nothing that I deserve to know. I frown -No, I do

    Damon Westwood That's it, it's over. The applause rings out, the hugs and congratulations quickly replace the shouts from earlier. The parade went well and the reactions from the public were more than satisfactory. Despite the traffic jams, model Zuleyka was able to arrive on time. It was she who gave the opening to Sasha’s creations. I was behind the scenes but I was able to see his reaction thanks to the cameras we placed here and there. She was moved, completely absorbed by the parade and it was one of my greatest rewards. I spotted June being congratulated by her parents and I was really happy that they were able to come. It was particularly important to him that they were present. -A colorful parade if I can say it that way. I turn back to my mother who took the time to come towards me. She hugs me and I guess she liked my work. -Congratulations, big guy, it was really splendid. Your efforts have paid off, these last few months have been complicated but you succeeded. And

    Sasha J. Morales It's going to be two weeks. Two fucking weeks since I heard from Jonathan. Two weeks that I wake up with an empty and cold place next to me. For two weeks I've been watching the door to our apartment as if I were a building guard. I wouldn't have thought it possible for any other man than Damon to be in this state. I'm just walking around our apartment going nowhere, just waiting for him to return. In fact I could very well go find him since I am ninety percent sure that he continues to go to work. But I'm a coward and I faked the flu so I could stay. But I know people at work started to ask questions about my future in the company. Me too by the way. I'm about to light my second joint because yes I have nothing else to do except smoke or sleep, when my mother bursts into my room. I hurry to put out the murder weapon and throw it in the trash. -Sasha? I can enter ? -Yes…you can come in, mom. She walks into the room and immediately frowns. Damn, I'm toast. -I

    Damon Westwood The fresh air caressed my face, the sound of the waves was soothing. The sky was starry and the heavenly atmosphere of our hotel made the moment even more magical. The Maldives was an obvious choice for Sasha. She wanted to spend our honeymoon in the sun and tanning. So I followed him. I still couldn't believe it. Pinch me I'm dreaming. When Jonathan called me a few days after showing up at my house completely drunk, he said he had to talk to me and that it was a matter of life and death. At first I was skeptical, what he wanted to talk about was so important. He arranged to meet me at a restaurant not far from his office. He looked anxious. He only wanted Sasha to do something that she will surely regret in the near future. -I know you both love each other. He said. Then he offered me something. That I arrange to divorce before marriage. That way I will have the opportunity to propose to Sasha. I was confused and didn't understand why he would

    Sasha J. Morales It's really weird that Jonathan wants to talk to me at this exact moment. I don't need an extra dose of stress. I already want to run away and leave everything behind. So I hope it's nothing serious. What’s so important to say? -It can't wait until after the ceremony? -He insists on seeing you now -Uh…Okay. You can give us a moment. -Yes my darling, no worries. My friends accompanied by my mother leave the room. The makeup artists and hair stylists also leave the room and I find him alone for a few minutes before Jonathan enters the room. He freezes the minute he sees me and I can feel admiration in his eyes. -Wow. You are really beautiful. -THANKS. You are just as beautiful. I pick at my nails not knowing where to put myself. This situation is oddly awkward. And normally she shouldn't be since it's my future husband standing in front of me. -I was really lucky to have you in my life. Eu? I'm seriously starting to panic so he takes my hands in his and le

    Sasha J. Morales -Don't you think you should slow down on the Margarita, I don't want you to be half tipsy while the ceremony hasn't started yet. -Believe me, it’s the best solution for me to get through this day -You're exaggerating June. I say with a smile It was Saturday morning The Four Seasons was in turmoil Final preparations were underway It was the wedding day. I was completely exhausted even though it was just 11am My mother, June, Sam and Ethan were with me. They were getting their makeup done while Ethan put on his groomsman suit. June was on her third drink and she might end up on the floor if she continued drinking. -I can't believe my baby is getting married. -Me neither. I tell my mother Jonathan wanted us to get married out of town but I insisted we do it here. -I'm really stressed, gee, wouldn't someone have a joint please? -Sasha??? -What mom? ?? Everyone has their own solutions -I have an idea! June screams. How about we run away and run away to Mex

    Damon Westwood -Where are we going darling? -It is a surprise. I took my mother in the evening for a little walk. I wanted to get some fresh air before taking him somewhere. We had been at the park for 30 minutes now and we were walking arm in arm. The evening runners were finishing their races, some flower sellers were still present and the lovers were holding hands to enjoy the last rays of the sun. It was really pleasant. -Tell me my son…so there really is more hope with Sasha? I huff before leading her to one of the free benches and making us sit down. -She's getting married, mom. -Damon it’s not- I cut it off immediately. Trying to convince me or give me false hope is completely useless. -Mom, stop, that’s enough. I know that you really like Sasha and that you also want me to be happy, but I think it's time to move on. All I wish for her is that she is happy and if that happiness is near Jonathan then so be it. It breaks my heart to say it out loud but it also makes

    Sasha J. Morales I had locked myself in the guest room with a bottle of whiskey in my hand, lying on the floor. It was either half full or half empty. In short, I don't know, my mind is already clouded by alcohol. John hadn't come home yet even though it was well into the night and that suited me, I had no desire to confront him this evening. However, my parents were a completely different story. My mother had been trying to get her out of this damn room for an hour now but I needed to isolate myself a little. I thought I had finally put the past behind me but it caught up with me. Damn, no matter how hard I looked I don't know how they got their hands on this story. I was always careful not to be recognized and Sam always made sure our personal information didn't leak. So how is this possible? I pick up my phone before turning it on. It kept vibrating so I had to turn it off to get some peace. And it’s no surprise that I see missed calls from Ethan, Sam, June but also Jonathan

    Damon Westwood -It’s my fault for going to see him. You're obsessed with a divorce that won't happen. Someone had to calm you down We were in our house, I had come home because I had gone to see friends not far away. And I was lazy to drive to my apartment. And I decided to talk to the crazy woman who will soon be my ex-wife. -You really think that involving my father will change anything in our situation. -Someone has to slap you on the wrist, you're behaving like a capricious kid. I massage my eyebrows, I'm on the verge of having a horrible migraine. I start to laugh quietly. -Ella what the hell are you looking for? We are going to divorce and nothing can stop me from doing it, not even my father. -Are you aware that I still have all my physical faculties and that if I refuse to sign you cannot force me to do so? You at least know that, right? Yes I know about it but she won't have a choice. She used me as a pawn to get revenge on Sasha and in our divorce she will be mine.

    Damon Westwood -For the new collection it would be necessary….. are you at least listening to me? I look up at my friend and she looks annoyed. I get lost in my thoughts and have trouble concentrating. Sasha's wedding is less than a week away and since our little meeting she hasn't contacted me. And from what June tells me, she seems happier than ever. But I find it hard to believe it. Sasha is the queen of pretense. Not to mention that Ella is pretty annoying these days. I don't know what she's trying to do but the result must disappoint her greatly. -Sorry June. I had a… complicated night. -Let me guess. Sasha? I nod. -I think about her all the time and I want to destroy everything when I realize that it’s well and truly over. -Stop it you want, anything can still happen there is still a week before the wedding -You are way too optimistic June. And I thought you were her maid of honor, you owe it to yourself to support her in her wedding or am I wrong? -Not only when she m

    Sasha J. Morales -When she was little, she spent her time trying on my wedding dress and constantly paraded around the house. She took the bouquet from the dining table and asked her father to act out the courtship. She was so cute. -I hear you mom! I shout over the fitting room. We were at my wedding dress fitting session. My mother and June were there and were both talking. Finally my mother told him about all my exploits as a little girl. I was in the cabin trying on a third dress but I could hear them from here. June wasn't too keen on coming but I told her that her presence was important to me since she was one of my few friends. She tried to sulk for a while but couldn't help but get emotional when I tried on my first dress. -Come on Sasha, hurry up and get out the first bottle of champagne, it's already finished and I don't want to end up drunk. -It's okay June, stop complaining, I'm sure you love the 4000 dollar champagne that you're sipping like grenadine juice. -Shut

    Ella Westwood Nothing is right. Everything is going wrong. Damon is determined to divorce and after John comes home I doubt the news of John and Sasha's marriage seems to be in the news anymore. And I start to panic, for real this time. And since my fiasco the other evening I think I made the right decision. I was on my way to his office, I had not informed him of my visit. He will probably be angry but he will calm down when he knows the reason for my visit. I arrive in front of his office and notice that it is empty. Too bad if he's out, I plan to wait for him. I'm not leaving here until I have a solution on my hands. His secretary approaches me to talk to me -Please Mrs. Westwood, Mr. Westwood has an important meeting and will not be available for a good hour. -I have plenty of time, I could even wait for him all day. I open the door to her office and flop down on the couch before shutting her. His office is as cold and unwelcoming as he is. No family photo or
