92. A New Way
[EIGHT WEEKS LATER]After that lunch, all the truths came out, and things changed too much. On the one hand, my father has convinced Alejandro not to go to New York. Now they're making up for a lost time as father and son, so Alejandro has moved into his house and accepted the offer to work with him. Alejandro presented his resignation to the DEA and handed over the shares of what are now the pieces of Sandoval Enterprises to his half-brothers.For my part, I have been dividing my time between my dreams, work, and preparations for the wedding. Lucas and I have talked a lot about our future, and even though my idea was to move to Italy and start from scratch, he gave me good reasons to stay in Miami.On the one hand, he proposed that I start my dream of becoming a fashion designer and having my own line of gala dresses. In conversations between sheets and kisses, he has suggested that I dedicate myself one hundred percent to my project, counting on his support. As our parents will cont
93. A Wedding and Something More
3 days laterThe difference between my former wedding and this one is about to happen is huge. The dress this time has been my choice as well as every detail of the ceremony and party decoration. Both of us tested the guest list and the food menu.On this occasion, my feelings when I see myself in front of the mirror, dressed as a bride, are entirely different. Today I cry with emotion, knowing I will say "I do" to Lucas in front of the priest and all our guests. This "I do" is full of certainties and desires to join my life to it. I know our relationship hasn't been perfect, but if we hadn't been through everything we've been through, maybe I wouldn't love him as madly as I do today.I take a deep breath and try to contain the tears of emotion that threaten to come out of my eyes until a knock on the door brings me back to reality. "Come in!" I say loud enough so they can hear me.The double doors of this elegant hotel room open, and my father enters through them dressed in a smart t
94. Now it All Begins
Every step we take down the aisle seems to take forever, and the greetings of the guests seem to be in slow motion. Thus, with this surprise that we are having, since we saw Alejandro with Lucía, we finally arrived in front of them. My husband stands motionless in front of her, and I can't believe how he looks like him. They both have the same eye color, and their features are pretty similar." You are alive," Lucas whispers and delicately holds her face as if wanting to ensure that this is not a mirage. "I can not believe it," He says and hugs her so tightly that she has no choice but hug him with the same intensity.I see them like this, and I get excited no matter how many people are there. I watch them and smile until I feel someone stop by my side, and to my surprise, it's Lucas's parents who, just like him, think they're dreaming."Daughter!" his mother exclaims, making Lucas move aside, and she is the one who hugs her with the same strength right now. "I can't believe it," she
95. Everything Happens For a Reason
As a child, I often dreamed of my wedding day and the party to celebrate my union with the man I love. Many things happened after that. A romance full of deceit with Ramiro, an obligatory wedding with Lucas, and now this new ceremony, the most legitimate not only because it has been under the blessing of God and the law. But also because it was for love, boy, I love this man!I have gone from hate to love and then to understanding. I have questioned many times if I really deserved it, but how imperfect it has been led us to love each other in this profound way. One that today is reflected in that blue gaze that struck me from the first moment I saw Lucas.His hands on my waist and mine on his shoulders as we dance this first dance as husband and wife gives me a unique feeling I have never felt. Perhaps because of what this represents or because we both feel complete today. Our lives have changed a lot in all this time. Not only did I live trapped in what I believed was his revenge, bu

He has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for his various crimes, including crimes he committed and many others where he executed the order to others to do them.My father regained his prestige in the business world.

They have also been responsible for bringing to light Raúl Sandoval's misdeeds.My father's shipping company and Lucas's family company have signed agreements to continue working together. This is about more than just business; it's about agreements between "family."

1. The Meeting
Another of those nights where I must pretend to be the perfect daughter. The woman of high class that dresses elegantly, wearing the essential fashion brands for one of the many parties that my father hosts.I finish putting on the long black Gucci dress, my matching high-heeled sandals, and I check, once again, that both my makeup and hairstyle are perfect. I was about to leave my room when someone knocked on the door.I open it and meet Rosa. "Miss Sienna, the guests are arriving. Mr. Mauricio has asked me to come and get you". I give a sincere smile to my nanny. "I'll be right there.""Perfect, I'll tell your father,” She says, and I go-ahead to go down the monumental marble staircase.I walk through the vast room and finally out into the garden where the party is taking place. "You're finally ready, daughter!" My father says when he sees me, and I give him a shy smile."You should find yourself a girlfriend, so I would stop fulfilling the
2. Invitations
I walk towards him, observing his elegant demeanor while he waits for his glass of champagne. I don't understand why he is not in one of those giant Calvin Klein advertisements that you find in the shopping centers."May I join you?" I ask him when I get to his side, trying not to show how attractive he seems to me.Sienna, you must not fall for him, My inner self tells me, but I think it's a little late.He looks at me from head to toe with those big blue eyes and then fixes them on my gray eyes. " Of course you can," he says, smiling at me, "young man, a glass of champagne for the miss per favore," tells the bartender, and I melt with his accent."Thank you," I say with a smile on my face, and then I grab the glass, "Come, let's go over there," I propose pointing to one of the tall cocktail tables that are free in a corner."I never would have imagined that Mauricio had a daughter so bella'." He says, and I love how the word
3. Negotiations
Next dayAfter having slept more than usual, since I went to bed very late last night and spending a relaxed Sunday at home; It's time to get ready for dinner with Lucas. I chose a set consisting of a short white skirt, a strappy blouse close to the body in the same color, and a black blazer with white details and matching heels. I look for my favorite matching Prada bag and make sure my light brown hair falls properly in waves above my shoulders."Perfect," I say to myself in front of the mirror and leave the room.I walk downstairs and say goodbye to my father; he reads a book in the mansion's main hall. "Will you go out?" He asks me with a shy smile."Yes, father, I will go to dinner with some friends," I lie.I suppose he would not like the idea of me going to dinner with the man who will be his next partner."Be Careful," he says like he always does, and I throw him a kiss from a distance."I love you, father!" I s
