A few days later

I have to go back to work today, and I'm stressed, I don't necessarily want to see Ken again, after reading I hung up on him, I haven't heard from him and so much the better! I breathe much better, I live well and I think that the message and well to pass.

Today my return to the offices. When I arrived in the world I looked at me strangely, taking the elevator that leads to the office I met a colleague with whom we said hello briefly.

Jason: Hello Ms. HUNNAM

Me: huh?!

He glanced behind him and stared at me in amazement at my indescribable look. I don't understand who he is calling Mrs. HUNNAM.

I wanted to ask him who he calls that when three other people arrived in front of the elevator, greeting me as Mrs. HUNNAM. At the same time the elevator arrived, they all got in except me, I was shocked in front of it.

- You don't go up Mrs. HUNNAM?!

Me : ..

Without even being able to say a word, the elevator doors closed.

I can't believe what is happening right now.

I don't know how long I stood there, but long enough for a lobby security guard to come see me.

- Mrs. HUNNAM do you need something?!

Me: huh?! Trying to find my senses

- do you need help?!

Me: no, no. Shaking his head. I'm ok thanks . Pressing the elevator button

- Okay

He walked away from me as the elevator doors opened.

On entering this one still confused about the situation. I can't understand how, and why they all call me Mrs. HUNNAM, a week ago, no one greeted me at least with a smile as a hello in the morning and goodbye in the evening. Was he serious when he told me I was going to be his wife?! Is this all serious?! Maybe he just ordered someone to call me by their last name to pressure me.

But I can't work under this kind of conditions, I quit! I left in his office with a determined step to make him by my decision.

I went into his office without knocking interrupting a meeting I imagine, when he saw me cross the threshold of the door of his office, all eyes were on me, he and two other men sitting on the corner relaxed from the office,

Ken: I present to you my wife. He said with his eyes on me

Me: I quit!

- you want us to leave?! Anyway the meeting is over.

The two stood up while taking turns shaking Ken's hand

- Mrs HUNNAM. Arriving at my height

The other did the same, and they left, closing the door behind them.

Ken: first and last time you interrupt me during a meeting! Suddenly getting up

Me : ..

Ken: What lack of manners did you do?! Calling out . You do this kind of stupidity to your boyfriends but not to me! Coming dangerously towards me. What are you playing!!?

Me and you ?! Trying to scare away my fear. I am not your instrument, I am not your wife!

Ken: what are you talking about?! Arriving at my height with an indescribable air

Me: what is this story, everyone calls me by your name!

Ken: that's what your name is now, well I don't understand, what's the problem?? speaking more calmly

Me: the problem?! Nervous laugh. You make me look like your wife

Ken: you are my wife!

Me: what does it prove?! I do not want ! Leave me alone ! I am not your wife! Ask another person! You are not worthy to be my husband!

He walked over to his office, took a sheet that was lying on it and handed it to me.

Ken: proof that we are legally married. The outstretched hand

I came forward, I snatched the sheet from his hand, and indeed, I am married to this man, how did he do this, is this really an official paper?

Me: am I supposed to believe that?!

Ken: in any case, whether you believe it or not, you owe me

Me: Sorry!?

Ken: your little brother, owes three hundred thousand dollars to a guy, I paid the debt, otherwise they would kill him and throw his body to the crocodiles, is that what you want?!

Me : ..

I have tears of anger running silently down my cheeks, I don't know who I was angry at, my little brother or that man standing in front of me

I walked out of that room in a rage, I was really mad at my brother. Especially since I spend all my time telling him to be careful what he does, with the people he hangs out with, now I'm paying for it. I don't want him to take his money back and my brother to die, I can't lose yet another expensive person, I'm not going to get over it, but I don't want to be his wife!

I was driving around crying because I was freaked out, I imagined the worst case scenario in my head, maybe he still owes someone else money and they can hurt him or hurt my father and me.

Arriving home, my father not being there, it reassures me a lot, he will not have to listen to all his nonsense.

Me: Daniel! DANIEL! crying

Daniel: robbing the stairs. What's going on, why are you screaming like that?!

I gave him a good big slap when he got to my height

Me: Fools! How can you be so oblivious! Carefree! Stupid ! Three hundred thousand ?! What the fuck did you do with that!? You are seventeen! How did you get into your problems my brother. Say I'm still crying and very angry

Daniel: it's not what you think

Me: Isn't that what I think?! You hang out with dangerous people! Do you realize the consequences?! Do you think of me?! To Dad ?! Just imagine because of your stupidity something happens to us, you don't know what these people are capable of!

Daniel: ..

Me: damn Daniel why!!!? I shouted

Daniel: Ella please calm down, I'll find a solution, I'll settle everything. Grabbing me by my forearms. Please don't tell daddy, I'm begging you

Me: Everything is settled. Release me from him. I don't want to, in any case settle your nonsense and pay for the fucking broken skin! Climbing the stairs

Daniel: what did you do Ella?!

Me: Shut up!

Arrived in my room I threw myself on my bed, mom!

I don't know how and when I fell asleep, I woke up a few hours later, I looked around me, it was already dark. I went to take a hot shower, I need to decompress.

I don't know if my father hears all this, my marriage, the three hundred thousand, he's going to have a heart attack, I'm scared, I'm really scared.

Every moment I open my eyes I start thinking, I think about this damn marriage to Ken, how am I going to get rid of him and his marriage. I still don't understand why he took me, why he wanted to make me his wife. Gabriela would die for him, why he doesn't see it.

A few days later

I haven't been to work for some time and I haven't heard from Ken either, and so much the better! I still stress, compared to the loan if I can call it like that, I ask myself questions, I wonder, if he happens to take his money back since I don't want him, how do we do it?! How will my brother live?! My dad and me ?! I get stressed out and can't really sleep at night.

I was in my room when my father came home in a rage

Dad: Are you kidding me?!

Me: huh?! I say completely confused

Dad: you got married behind my back Ella?! Shaking a paper he had in his hand

Me: Dad.. I..

Dad: shut your mouth! What did I not give you Ella?! I thought you had changed, that you had become a responsible adult but you prove to me that the opposite, you showed me today that you are not worthy of being my daughter

My father has this habit of speaking softly, without necessarily shouting, I still prefer when he shouts, it hurts me less than when he is like that

Me: dad.. let me explain please. Crying

Dad: you have nothing to explain to me! Nothing ! Since you are now a married woman, I will ask you to leave my house.

Me: Dad sniffs..

Dad: you disappointed me, hurt me, I can't even look you in the eye, your mother must be turning in her grave so much that you are unworthy

When he said that I started to cry even more

Dad: you prove to me today that you are not a trustworthy person and that you will never know it, I do not understand what the good Lord did to give me a child as wicked as you, despicable heartless

I got up crying to pack my suitcase

Dad: no, you don't touch anything, you get out of my house right away

He took the keys to my car

I went to the exit door crying, I'm worse than saddened, what hurts me the most is that my relationship with my father was okay and I'm in pain. My father is my shield, my protector, I lose him like that, I feel confused.

Outside it's cold, I'm in front of my door very very badly covered.

I took out my phone and dialed his number.
