The Marriage

While Sophia was sipping her cup of coffee under an atmosphere of calm, her phone rang, she saw the owner of the number to smile and answer saying:

"Good morning Laura? How are you, girl?"

"Won't you come shopping with me?

Laura spoke excitedly, Sophia sipped her coffee and said softly:

"I'm coming to you"

"okay then "

She hung the line and went up to the room to change her clothes, she finished brushing her hair and picked up the keys to her motorcycle, Sophia always felt calm and peace of mind while doing everything, being alone in a simple house, doing her job to the fullest duty and devotion, a crazy friend like her who loves life, but her love life ...empty, almost none, and she had never experienced the feeling of love! She sighed desperately, starting her motorcycle, a few moments on the road, and she made it to Laura's house.

"Good, if you're late, you know what I'll do."

Laura said menacingly, she continued, as she put on lipstick:

"I've been emotionally drained for a month or more and haven't had a break"

Sophia rolled her eyes at that friend, and said in exasperation:

"And what can I say about me, surgeon?"

"Let's move now, we have to hurry!"

They stopped in front of one of the supermarkets in the area

"My Aunt Rebecca told me she'd come these days."

Sophia spoke after she had parked her motorcycle, Laura bit her lips and said:

"Your aunt is amazing, girl! I also miss her so much!"

Sofia giggled, pulling out of the pocket of her jacket and her purse, and putting it in her back pocket. It had been a while since they were wandering in the middle of the mall until Sofia met the family....The Salvatore family Sofia smiled when she said coldly:

"How is your brother Juan? Is he okay with his marriage?"

"Rude as usual Hamilton, if we weren't just in front of people..."

Sophia laughed mockingly and then added:

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Alejandro."

"You are just scum and I have to kill you until everything calms down!"

Caesar came to pounce on her, smashing that skull, when he spoke between his teeth:

"I'm going to cut out your tongue and throw it to the dogs, you bitch!"

she laughed sarcastically at his words

"I thought you were the dogs"

Alejandro clenched his fist tightly as he tried to grab hold of his hands to hit her:

"Shut your mouth, you bitch!"

Sophia approached him and said coldly, looking at him from the top down, with eyes filled with disgust:

"The whores you're talking about are your bed , you rude."

She came to complete her words until she felt Yura's hand resting on her shoulder, who said softly:

"Hey Sophia, I don't want to talk to scum like them."

"Okay, petty surgery, it's your turn, after this lawyer, I swear."

Laura winked at him and said with a shaky confidence that covered her with a mocking laugh:

"It's my pleasure, Cesar."

Then I grabbed Sophia's hand and dragged her out, her nerves would be torn now!

"And for the sake of the Creator of Hell! What have you got to do with this dangerous family, not a family but a mafia!"

Sophia looked at her and said stupidly, lips protruding childishly:

"You also doubt?"

Laura giggled, then returned to her features of seriousness:

"I doubt?! I'm even sure of this! The masters of the economy are mixed with dubious businesses such as the arms trade."

"Excellent, well-informed about family history, little one"

Sophia scoffed, and Laura punched her hard on the shoulder, and said with great anger:

"You idiot! You want to get us involved and where does this Caesar know that I'm a surgeon? This is weird, could he aim to kill me?"

She laughed out loud at her friend, who watched her tightly with fear running through her mind

Caesar ran through his hair violently as he whispered with wide, scattered eyes:

Flash Back

He entered that hospital looking coldly at his watch, after Alejandro had sent him to check on one of his men who had been wounded during the exchange of bullets, while they were delivering a load of weapons at the border. Black silk tufts or herbal eyes? Those lips, which seemed to be heaven in itself, heard her resonant voice, talking to one of the nurses

"Alright, Dr. Laura."

He whispered in a strange and mysterious tone as his eyes watched every step until they disappeared from his sight:

"Laura "

BACK

His brother Alejandro entered with Alberto talking to him about the arms deal to be sold and then interrupted the thinking of his brother Cesar, who said:

"Caesar, brother, are you going with Alberto?"

Caesar looked in disbelief to shrug it off misunderstanding:

"What "

Alejandro blinked at his words, then said softly:

"I said you'll go with Alberto to exchange weapons, please come back without problems, not like last time."

Cesar rolled his eyes and said coldly as he spread his hands along the sofa:

"Okay, sir."

Alberto grabbed his sippy cup and quietly sipped his sip and looked at Cesar and Alejandro:

"Right, what happened with that lawyer?"

Alejandro's features changed, and he said with sharp anger:

"Don't mention that bitch, I wanted to kill her today."

Caesar laughed at him, saying in a sarcasm:

"She was now in her grave if you had not prevented me from attacking her."

Alejandro looked at him, raising an eyebrow, not surprised by his brother's words

"Until disaster comes, I doubt it will come because of your damned brother!"

EMILY

She sits and looks at the marriage contract with which she will bury her life while Sofia stands next to her, in the middle of the hall everyone sits from Alejandro to Cesar

"Juan Salvatore, let me dictate to you the terms and conditions before you sign although they are clear, not physical abuse, avoid psychological abuse...etc, I hope you stick to this only."

Sophia folded both hands, her lips parting with a small smile.

"And I will make sure to visit her every day to make sure of course."

Alejandro said:

"And what's wrong with you?"

Sophia looked at him, specifically at his melancholy, to flare up with rebellion:

"My income? Surely I must intervene, Mr. Alejandro, it is my duty!"

Laura interrupted and said to Sophia:

"Sofia, hurry up, girl!"

Cesar looked at Laura with a strange glint in his eyes. Sophia rolled her eyes and extended the pen to Juan:

"Now sign the terms and the marriage contract."

Juan gritted his teeth in anger, then signed the contract, Sophia pulled it from his hands and then continued:

" signed this one more time."

He looked at her misunderstood

"Why? "

I sighed obnoxiously:

"I don't trust you signed it."

Juan signed him, then Emily fell, Sophia went to the brothers and gave each one a piece of paper, and Alejandro looked at her in amazement alone:

"What the hell is this?!"

Laura answered coldly:

"Your pledge not to let your brother's wife into your business to make us look stupid, signed!"

Alejandro took the pen from her hands, then fell violently, after which Cesar and Alberto completed, Sofia took another piece of paper:

"THIS TOO "

His hand was trembling with anger controlling him, Sophia took the other paper and said calmly and coldly:

"Thank you, now please keep the promises and my client I don't want her to get hurt and now where is her room?"

Alejandro shouted to his maid who came quickly

"Don't be afraid, Emily, we're with you, and don't worry, because the contract and the law are with you, and they won't bring you closer to misunderstanding."

Then she gave her the phone and hugged her, Emily burst into tears and said between her tears:

"Call me if something happend!"

Laura went down with Sophia to hear the sound of laughter rising in the hall, and she exclaimed alone with disgust:

Oh shame! Rude, partying and not a shred of guilt, I feel like I'm really going to dread the men of this family!"

"I want to go home, I miss my lover... I mean my bed."
