The action

    Cap. 5

            The love of the Greek

                     Violetta

       I do not know what to think?!

       I was even considering accepting such a wedding, because I really liked Alexie, he and I could travel and have fun without doing so many things?!

 Although I said I didn't like his way of life, but I don't know anything, at least I could meet him, but now I don't even know.

           Out of being Mr.'s wife. Alexandre Lutof, it is something I have no desire for, he boring and bossy, full of rules, but he is also a very handsome man, despite being rude to me, it makes me feel something that I can't explain: that's why I already realized that with him I'm lost, I actually feel like he leaves me vulnerable, a feeling I hate.

        With those thoughts in mind, I ended up falling asleep.

           I woke up with the impression that I had just closed my eyes, and some voices talking in the bedroom, made me sure it was daylight.

        I hear someone talking to Mr. Lutof in an intimate way, the woman looked a little tearful when she heard the explanations, but soon she changed her posture, and Mr. Lutof tells her to take good care of me, as I am his wife, and that he will be on the clan's advice for a meeting, he then left next.

         Soon the woman comes to bed, and calls me :

        - Good morning, Mrs. Lutof.

          - Hello, who are you?

          - Hi! - I'm Perla.

         I'm your husband's personal assistant, in fact, I take care of everything from Mr. Lutof, and I hope now to do the same for you.

             - Ah! understand.

       So I woke up completely, finally I see that it was not a nightmare it is all real, I am in Mr. Alexandre.

           "Dad, why did you do this to me?"

           - Hi Madam, get up!

          Perla smiles... - Wow really, you look finished! - But anyway, Mr. Alexandre really knows how to make a woman happy! - Sorry lady.

         - It's all right.

         "In fact, this comment is very intimate, perhaps she will always see the women with whom Mr. Lutof slept, that can only be it?!"

         So Perla, that's your name?

           - Yes, Ms. Violetta!

           - I need my clothes, I have nothing of mine here, I understand?

          - Yes, I will send the employees to get all their things, in the meantime you can take a shower, I will prepare everything well?

            "I don't know why, but I didn't like this Perla very much, but I must be judging badly, after all she is being so helpful to me."

      Heading to the bathroom, and when I really came back my things were already being fixed by two other women, and one outfit was already on the bed, that's weird, there's always someone choosing what I'm going to wear, but at least saving me the trouble.

         - So Perla, you have taken care of things for a long time, Mr. Alexandre?

          - Yes Madam, about five years ago, maybe more, I am responsible for taking care of your husband, on all occasions.

       But it seems that the Lady is not happy? - This is strange, after all if chosen as Mr. it must be an honor.

        - Actually, I'm not very happy or honored!

         - Sorry if I meddle, but I can know why? - We can be friends? - You can talk to me lady, I am discreet and I am here to listen to you and help you.

        - How nice.

       "Should I really trust this woman?!

      I need to get out of here, maybe she can't help me? With that thought I decided to tell her everything."

       - Speak lady, it can open!

        - I'm not Mr. Lutof's wife.

        - Like, ma'am?- Do not understand.

         - We don't sleep together.

      - But, and the dirty sheet over the window?

        - Mr. Lutof cut his arm, and went over the sheet to forge the evidence that he slept with me!

         - Seriously, that Mr. Alexander had the courage to do that?

           - Yes, he did!

         - Wow, but why?

            - Look, it doesn't matter, what I want to know is how I manage to get rid of this marriage, I can't get married I want to leave here, you know, Perla?

           - Madam, what a pity, you are a wonderful man, the dream of so many women!

              - It may be, but I don't want to get married, I came here forced by my father, you know?

         - Yes, you and the promised bride, from Mr. Alexie, but now it's Mr. Alexandre, I already know all the history.

           - So, Perla, please help me?- There is something I can do?

        If so, please tell me.

          - Madam, your husband is in a meeting with the Santorine clan, but if you go in there and say that there was no act in front of everyone, you may be able to get rid of that marriage!

      But, you will need to have courage.

      - Ah! Easy, I have plenty of that.

      - So get ready, I'll show you, where the meeting is, but never say it was me, because I just want to help you, after all you are a very beautiful girl, and you don't deserve to marry forced, even with a man like Mr. Lutof.

         - Thank you Perla.

     But that I quickly ran is got ready, and soon I was going to the meeting then, I have no idea who these people are is what that means, but if I can make a scandal it is to get rid of that marriage, the time is now!

         I simply opened the double door and entered, Mr. Alexandre was talking about a wheel of men, I never saw anything like it.

         But soon several pairs of eyes turn against me, and the only known faces are from Mr. Alexandre, and Alexie.

         Alexandre sees me, and opens his eyes in an alert state, his eyes are in shock, but soon he recovers and comes to me, and begins the conversation with me with affection.

        - Agape mon, I thought you were sleeping?

          He looks at me full of questions?

          Alexie makes a point of saying :

        - So the wife already came after her husband?

         I soon make a point of speaking loud and clear.

           - Alexandre Lutof, is not my husband!

            - Oh! - Gentlemen, what an incredible revelation we have here. - Says Alexie.

           - Shut up Violetta! - Alexandre orders.

             However, I say it even more clearly again.

          - Yes, gentlemen, what I say, I never slept with this man!

       - I'm not his wife.

         Suddenly, a huge noise and murmur of voices begins in the huge room.

        So Alexandre takes me out of the room, and takes me to his room, then he looks at me with angry eyes and locks me there.

         But first it says, that we will talk soon, and that I will regret doing what I did!

       "I really don't regret it!"

        More than two hours later, he comes back and opens the door with a bang!

        Yeah, start your speech, I just listened.

         - What the fuck did you do, girl?  What you have in mind?

       You are aware of what you did?

       Speaking to the assembled clan, although not all, but the damage is the same, because you went there, to do something like that, even more with Alexie present?

        You embarrassed me, taking my authority and honor from a man, in front of everyone, you already missed entering a meeting of men, your father didn't say anything at all, you know?

        Violetta, you acted like an idiot, you thought that only I would be a laughing stock there?

        You are aware that they are discussing getting me out of the clan chief post?

        Yeah, which is worse, if that happens they won't accept your father, because you're an uncontrollable girl!

       Doing what he did, he hinted that your father was a bad example, because he didn't know how to raise you.

      Unfortunately, you will have to pay Violetta, I told you that I was not going to take you now!

      You are very young, I know you didn't want to get married, so I would set you free for a while.

          Violetta you lived in prison for a long time, I had plans to do something of interest to you, maybe take your time, travel and see some places around the world!

            But, you don't deserve my concern, or goodwill with you!

         Now I have to do what I didn't want to do, and you will regret it!

       For in addition to becoming my wife, in any case, even now she will have to undergo examination to prove that she is a virgin!

        Then, you will have to retake the exam for proof that is no longer!

       You asked for it, so get dressed in decent clothes and let's go now!

        I will leave, and I will be back in ten minutes to take you to the clinic for the exam.

        Just so you know, you wouldn't go through this Violetta, but now it's too late, you'll have to give the clan satisfaction, after all you made a point of getting my honor dirty as a man. You gave them deadly weapons against me, I lied to everyone before you arrived, and then you played the spoiled girl is stupid.

       But now, I hope that what you told me, who is still a virgin, is true, as it is your father's only chance to return to enter this island! It is not to be lynched.

       The Santorine clan has its own rules, and your father knows very well what he did!

         I was so panicked at his wrath that I just listened, I couldn't answer anything to him, in fact I don't feel guilty. But I think it should.
