Théo My Sweet Sin

Bruna Reis

I looked once more from the balcony of my room at the immense storm that was forming outside the convent.

The girls who share the room with me, look horrified at the lightning, while just smiling and watching that phenomenon, my friends, were scared to death!

I finally closed the windows and saw them sighing in relief, I sat on the bed looking amused!

And one of them said angrily.

"When I say you're weird!"

Still being mad at me, what kind of crazy is looking at a storm outside, Bruna?

I rolled my eyes and replied still laughing.

— Scaredy!

A rain of nothing like that, and they're there, smearing with fear...

'It turns out not everyone wants to be brave like you!

We have love for our life… - Lua answered me, settling in her bed.

"That's just a little rain!"

For your age, you should be sincerely ashamed!

Well, I'm going to sleep, good night.

I lay down on the bed and once again the thunderstorms became intense and the girls screamed jumping out of bed scared!

I just laughed and thought:

"But they're really cowardly...

As they screamed, I ignored them and went back to sleep. I needed to be presentable because my dear Mom would be here the next morning to talk to me.

I'm not very excited to see her, again, I knew she only came to look for me when she needed something three months ago, Mrs. Ivete had told me that my father arranged a good match for me!

And an agreement between the families was made for me to marry Theodore Scherneid, I didn't like for a moment to receive such news, I spent my whole life practically inside this place and now that I was about to turn 21 and leave here thinking that I could go on with my life.

My father decided to sell me, because that's how I felt like a commodity.

My mother was very happy with the marriage, however I didn't even know by researching through the computer we used to study in the library that Theodore was one of the future billionaires and most coveted of the moment, he was among the sexiest and most desired men in the list of the top 10 most cats in the United States.

I sighed heavily as I listened to the thunder outside, sometimes I wondered: why did my parents have so strict?

Why did they leave me my whole life in this place?

I didn't conform, I believed that through those huge walls of this convent there were wonderful places to be discovered at night I always found a way to enter the library to use the computer and surf the 'internet' I had my tricks to do whatever I wanted without being discovered , they never managed to catch me, because I left no traces…

Tomorrow I will probably wake up much earlier, my mother would be here around 8 am and I'm sure that the nun Maria would wake me up at 6 am, to be like a perfect lady to receive Dona Ivete Reis, sometimes I'm sure anger at the way they fawned over you, a status and a good last name make you the center of attention.

I never understood why my mother put me in this convent?

My father rarely came with her, and whenever he accompanied her he treated me in a cold way, my other brothers, what was strange, lived with them, but I didn't have that right, I was born to honor the family that's how she always said so she had to learn to be a lady from an early age.

The truth is, I don't know if I'm ready to be married to someone I've never seen in my life.

From what I researched about Theodore on the 'internet', his fame is not even the best he is considered a real crook and chicken, he had several relationships with beautiful models, I wondered if he would like me?

Such a bland girl with honey-colored hair and green eyes, almost pale, white.

I'm not very tall either, but I wasn't short I guess I'm the type of person who didn't care about that stuff about self esteem or a beauty freak, but I know that when my mom takes me out of here, she's going to buy clothes that make me look like a girl. A true lady in the face of New York society, I once again stared at the ceiling and finally managed to fall asleep.

The next morning I felt someone poke me when I opened my eyes and saw the silhouette of the nun Maria looking at me which she commented seriously, while pulling the sheet practically throwing me out of bed.

— Come on Bruna, get up and go do your morning hygiene!

Your mom will be here soon and you know how she is… - I got up rolling my eyes and replied while taking off my clothes to go to the bathroom!

"Sister Maria, I don't understand why?"

I have to get up so early, to take a shower... if my mother doesn't come until 8 o'clock, it's still 6 o'clock in the morning!

- Stop being lazy, Bruno!

I already know you very well, you like to fool around and I know how your mother is, so take care of getting ready and stop drama this is your last week here at the convent from what I see... - I looked at her without much animation and replied without understanding with my words.

"As if it makes any difference, getting out of this hell and into another!"

My mother is going to make me marry a person I don't like and I've never seen in my life, can you believe I'm worried about leaving here?

— You know something, Bruna?!

You complain too much, you have everything the other girls would like to have, not all the girls here were as lucky as you, stop being ungrateful… - I took a deep breath so I wouldn't say something she didn't like to hear and I just replied staring at her .

"If you think it's luck!"

So why not choose one of the girls to marry me instead?

I would make no move to stop it.

— Turns out I'm not the one who decided that, your family has been dealing with this marriage for years Bruna, and I'm sure you won't want to face your parents!

Now take care of taking your shower, I already left your clothes in the showcase, as soon as you leave the bathroom they will be hanging there, well excuse me unfortunately I wasn't born with the same life as you, I have to work.

I walked against my will to the bathroom, I wasn't in the mood to see anyone, not even to meet my mother, I was sure something was going to say to me and I wouldn't like to hear it again, to think that in a few days I'll finally get out of here and Judging by all accounts I could run away and not marry this man, maybe I won't do that for good and I'll stop being a coward and start living my life the way I've always wanted to.

As soon as I went down the stairs and reached the main hall, there was Dona Ivete, beautiful and impeccable in her beige dress and elegant hat, and her impeccable shoes as she liked to say: a true lady.

I took a deep breath and walked towards her, building up the strength to know what lies ahead!

Dona Ivete never comes here and when she does, I don't even like to hear about her plans, but I have to face it once and for all soon!

And I can go back to my room and not look at her face anymore.
