Cap.4
The love of the Greek
Alexandre
- So that's it, Alexie...?
- Hi brother, you didn't say I was supposed to take care of my fiancee, accept the wedding, and the deal that was made?
- How incredible, you decided to take my orders! - Stop making fun, Alexie.
- That's not what you wanted? Alexandre?
- I just wanted you to be a Greek man with character, and to stop acting like a kid. - And because you were exposing Violetta to your bride as your countless girlfriends, kissing her in public, and making her any woman?
- So why did you bring her before the day?
- It doesn't come at random, and it doesn't interest you!
- Yeah, what you wanted me to do? - He wanted me to see her, but do nothing? - That's right, brother?
- I just wanted you to behave, that's too much to ask?
- Calm down brother, all right then.
She is too beautiful, by the way I really have to give my hand the paddle, you were right I needed to give the girl a chance, you even tried so many times, showing me pictures of her, that I honestly didn't even look at, always burned all the photos!
- You stupid kid! - I understand, Alexie. - So what are you planning now?
- Anything!
- I know, Alexie, if you try to tarnish this girl's reputation to escape marriage, I swear I disown you and you will have to work for every penny you spend!
- Calm down brother, I already want the girl!
- It's Karoline, you already forgot her? Until yesterday, if I remember correctly, you defended her, and said that you loved her that this marriage was crazy? - That you wouldn't be forced into anything... it's blah...blah.- What has changed?
- Karoline is fine, she knows that the family comes first!
- Yeah, what's more?
- Nothing brother, I already said that I am only obeying you, except that the girl is really cute, and I am not crazy to be without my inheritance, and my good life, apart from the money that falls on my account!
- Ah! - So that was it! - Anyway, you saw that there is no advantage in getting involved with a simple girl from the island, since after all you will not have access to Lutof money! No effort, as you have.
- But or less.
- So you left Karoline alone?
- I never said that!
- You really are a jerk, and a loose kid!
- Think what you want, Alexandre.
- Alexie what I want most, is that you are responsible and start working!
- No, I prefer to continue with the arranged marriage plan, so I will have a long time to think about working!
- Soon you will have your wife, children, even when you think to live in this irresponsible way parties, travel, fun waking up late?
- Ask Violetta, she is like me, likes to enjoy, wants to go to parties, wants to travel...
We will be happy at least, as long as I don't get tired of the novelty of such a virgin, and I have karoline waiting for me!
- So that's why you accepted it so easy! - You can only be crazy, if you imagine such a shameful situation.
- Ah! Brother, you thought I was going to be faithful to this girl?
Just because she is young and virgin, you know that I prefer women with more experience, although Karoline was a mistake on the way.
Besides, I'm sure Violetta must be very hot, because her body leaves no doubt about it.
- Don't talk about your future wife like that, Alexie!
- Hey, Alexandre, you live in the Middle Ages? - Maybe it's time for you to stop working so much brother, because a little fun would do you good, apart from the women you use, but pretend not to!
So who knows, maybe you can make me change my opinion about women, they are all the same!
- You are too young to think that way.
- Yes, I am very surprised you Alexandre, a convinced bachelor who does not demonstrate, but has sex with several women, which I know, but in the family and the perfect boring feudal lord!
But, he wants to give me a moral lesson, and he will never get married!
Well, he is not obliged, since his bride left him for his disability!
- You fucking kid, don't come and tell me or try to put yourself like me! - I work and the rest doesn't matter!
- Go to shit Alexandre, if you want to know you deserve everything I said, and don't give me any more orders, since I'm fulfilling the family agreement!
So I will be lord of this place, and of companies as much as you do, after all the fucking merger was done.
- Come back here, Alexie! - I'm not done yet.
- But I already, bye Alexandre!
So Alexie leaves leaving me there.
I'm sure he's up to something, and I'm going to find out now!
Without blinking, I call the father of the then girlfriend Karoline, and soon I understand everything!
Then, I go in search of Agatha to find out what happened on the tour, in addition to the shameless demonstration of the then couple!
- So how was the ride? - Agatha.
- Hi! - Ale, I was already waiting for you to come and talk to me!
It was even quiet, Alexie acted as usual, he loves an achievement, it is Violetta is not immune to him, in the most they form a beautiful couple, and they got along very well talking a lot.
- That's not what I want to know!
I want to know, if there was anything else?
- Alexei kissed her, and besides I can't say, but it looks like they were going out today!
- Where?
- Ah, you probably know for some party out there at night clubs.
Alexei never takes me, you know!
- Damn it...
I knew he was planning to end her reputation, but that is not going to happen, as he will bear his responsibility with Karoline.
- What are you talking about? - Ale.
- You don't care Agatha, soon you will know.
Get out of there, willing to end my brother's sordid plan, so I went and talked to the security guards, asking to let me know when the beautiful couple left!
But I will have to take serious and necessary steps first, so I call the island's council, but I am not so happy with the advice I receive. However, the worst will be avoided, and whatever matters. Too bad I will have to save that girl once again!
Didn't she understand?
I warned that men just want to have fun, and she didn't understand that, of course not!
She is the type of woman who likes to be the center of attention, and would not miss the opportunity since, according to Agatha, she liked Alexie, but I already knew it was going to happen!
But I will have to interfere unfortunately.
I never thought that bringing her here would be forced to do that!
"But I don't know, if it leaves me with hatred, or with another feeling that had long since died."
But it is the only way to avoid the same misfortune in our family, it is almost twenty years ago!
I will do whatever it takes to prevent a new disaster, and this time I have time.
Well, the other time I was just an object without action.
Anyway my phone rings, and Rick the head of security, let me know that they are leaving, so I send him over and say I'm on my way.
I'll leave Alexie thinking he's getting the better of his plan, but soon he'll know, who I am!
It is that with Alexandre Lutof the feudal lord as he likes calls me, he does not play.
Violetta, too, will understand once and for all that she needs to change, and become a decent woman.
I'm already arriving at the Stronda nightclub...
As soon as I enter and see Violetta, she seems to have a magnet, which pulls me towards her.
She seems to be having fun, but soon she will understand the idiocy she is committing, without a minimum of effort I reached them, because when they see me come in everyone already knows me and they are making way, even my dear brother Alexie doesn't see me right away, but when it is, it realizes that I am there, is already scared, but soon disguises it.
- Without wanting to avoid a possible problem, so I just took Violetta's hand and was already pulling her out of there, however, she soon started to protest.
- Hey, because you're pulling me, I'm having fun, it's you can't see that I'm with my fiance?
- Alexie can't be your fiance anymore!
- Hi, what are you saying?
- At home I explain to you, let's go now Violetta.
- Not! - I'm not going with you.
- Why? - Violetta.
Alexie will not defend you, look he is already going to the opposite side of yours!
- Oh!...
- You saw my little brother, he's a coward!
He knows very well what he got into.
In fact, what would he put you girl in. - Now let's go home.
Anyway, the discussion ended, and I managed to get her out of there.
At least this time, she is not drunk, or drugged.
We made the journey home, in silence.
I had to think, but it was the only solution to avoid a tragedy, and it was the family's honor that would be shattered on the island.
But I know it’s not just for that.
But, a man does what needs to be done!
We finally got home.
- Come on, Violetta!
- I'm going to sleep, bye.
- Wait girl, let's talk!
- I don't want to talk today.
- You will talk to me now!
So I already took her, in fact I have no alternative, so I already take it straight to my room.
- Hey, this place is a room?!
- I don't believe you don't know, that here is a room!
- I know that, Mr. Lutof, but because here, and this room belongs to whoever?
- This room is mine! - I say closing the door and locking.
- Yeah, why did you bring me here Mr. Lutof?
- Because as of today, that room is yours too.
- What are you saying?
You can only be crazy!
- Not! - Unfortunately not, but I learned that I never intended to do what I'm doing.
- What are you talking about?
- I'm just safeguarding the honor of my family, and yours too!
- Do not understand...
What are you talking about?
- Sit down Violetta, in bed!
- What are you going to do with me?
- Probably nothing, that you haven't already done!
- No more riddles tell me: This is a joke, right?
"I'm starting to get scared".
- It is no joke, they are simply facts and you will understand, I continue to take off my suit.
- Hey, what are you doing? - Question Violetta, a little scared.
I don't even pay attention to what she said, and continue what you were doing.
So I pull the sleeve off my shirt.
Violet then asks me again :
- Why, you're undressing?
No, you will not do what I am thinking, go? - Oh, sir. Lutof, please?
I swear I will behave.
- Yes! - Violetta, I know that from now on you will behave, as you will have no alternative, since I will be your shadow!
- No, please, sir. Alexandre?
Mr. you can't be thinking of doing this to me? I am your brother's bride!
- You didn't hear what I told you: Alexie can't be your fiance anymore!
I need to put everything in order!
- What does that mean? - Sir. Lutof.
- That from now on you will be my wife! - Your fiance is me, it is from that moment on, in fact you can consider that I am already your husband!
- Please, sir. Alexandre?
Don't do this to me!
- I don't know why the fear of a daring girl, I will only take what you offered me yourself, back in that damn motel, you yourself offered yourself to me, at that moment I didn't accept you, but there is so little time, just ...
I looked at the clock, just over 72 hours ago.
So, Violetta, you were offering yourself to me, in an embarrassed way, in fact in a blatant way and like a promiscuous woman.
What has changed now? Why don't you want more for me? That was not what you wanted!
She just listened to me with wheezing, but soon manifested herself :
- Please, sir. Lutof, Mr. understood nothing! - I didn't offer myself to you, because it wasn't Mr. that I expected to find.
- Liar, It doesn't matter if it was another, but you spoke looking at me, and you saw me. - Yeah, I understand yes, you wanted to give it to me, and as you said you wanted to be ...
Fucked with taste! - So, girl, I'm going to do this now, take what you offered me.
"I'm laughing inside, because I'm just scaring her, I'm not going to do this to her, not today, she is very young, although she is beautiful, and I feel horny for her, but it's not the time yet."
- It wasn't like that, please?
I was drunk, even a pill I took, so I wasn't in my right mind!
- So, you confess that you were drugged girl?
- Yes, I'm not that way!
- Yeah, even a girl, you want me to believe that you are as virgin as a saint?
Keep mentioning that I'm undressing...
- Yes, sir. Lutof, I am!
- Okay, I understand, I'll pretend to believe you, girl.
So I went to the mute servant's table, and took a pocket knife that I always have there.
I cut my arm, Violetta looks at me impressed, and scared to death, and then reacts.
- You are crazy! - What do you intend, kill me from bleeding?
What you want from me?
- Calm down girl, in a little while you will understand!
- Now get up!
- Not! - I will not get up.
"By heaven, he wants to attack me".
- Get up, I need the sheet.
- Okay, you just want the sheet.
Violetta finally got up, so I put my arm over the sheet in the center of the bed, soiling with blood.
Violetta, look at me without understanding anything, great I think it will give me the vision I want, ready.
So I removed the sheet from the bed and put it on the chair, but it would only be used the next morning, as I will put it in the window, showing everyone that I took it as my wife.
- Well, girl, I think now you want to know what's going on here?
- Yes! - Sir. Lutof, I didn't understand anything! - I say pointing at the sheet.
- This is proof that you are my wife, from now on.
- No, I understand yet?
- Violetta this is proof that you are no longer a virgin, which may even be true!
But now, I am your man!
- Okay, but why did you do that?
- Because, it's the only way to avoid a disgrace in my family again.
- But why?
- Alexie has a girlfriend in the local community, the daughter of a man from the important clan, and she is pregnant with him, but he does not want to take on her and her son so as not to lose the good life she has, and the money she receives, and her inheritance .
So he preferred to keep the marriage agreement, so he will marry you, leaving his son without his name.
- Oh! - This is very sad.
- Sad, it is this girl who can be put out of the house and the village who has lived her whole life! - It was that she already told her father that she would kill herself!
- Heavenly, it can't happen.
- Yeah, it won't happen! - My aunt Leona is enough, I will not allow it.
- What are you talking about? What happened to your aunt?
- It is not the moment Violetta, of this matter, but maybe your father can talk to you, ask him!
No, but girl, from now on I tell you: what happened here is only between me, and you, nobody can know that you are not really my wife!
- But then leave me alone, I will not say anything.
- I can't Violetta, I already accepted the merger with your father, and everything is fine!
Yeah, there's no turning back, just as your father is a man of his word, so am I!
It was that his father returns to the Santorine clan, and I am the president.
Only by fulfilling the agreement will this be possible, even though living in modern times, the clan still retains many old laws, and rules.
- But how Dad can accept you as a son-in-law?
- He cannot contest, even because I am the law here, moreover he knows what he owes me.
- But, we won't be a couple, right?
- As husband and wife, not for now! - You are very young, and I intend to wait a while.
- Why, you are not attracted to me, that's it?
- This is beside the point.
But I already warn you not to make a fool of me, don't try to betray me with anyone, because Alexandre Lutof did not forgive betrayal, now go to sleep it is too late already.
- It's all right.
She was already leaving the room ...
- Violetta, you will sleep here, from now on!
- But, we will share the same bed?
- Girl, I already told you that I don't want you now! - So you can rest assured, outside my bed is huge.
Yeah, if you look over there on the left side, I have an office and there is a great sofa bed, if you are so frightened to share a bed with me, for now I sleep there.
- That's not it, Mr. Lutof...
- Yeah, what a girl?
- Anything... my nonsense.
- So this is it, I'm going to work a little, and feel free, because tomorrow promises, in fact in a few hours, as it is already dawn.
But, rest assured, everything will fall on me.
Violetta then did as I was told and I went to the office.
