" Camila, this is not the time to act stubborn , Do you know what it means to be married to Capobranco ?" He asked and she felt the urge to scream in anger .
" Death ! That's what it means to be married to a man as cruel as Erduardo . He doesn't talk much , but u don't even know what runs through his mind . That man literally had me marry him in wet clothes ,do you know how sad I feel right now? "she asked in pain .
" That would never have happened if you had calmly married him without any form of nuisance. You ran away from your own wedding Hija "he said and tears rolled out of her eyes which she quickly wiped .
" I don't like Eduardo "she said and she wiped the tears that continued to drop from her eyes .
" Do you know how much of a privilege it is to be the wife of Capobranco " Mr Vasquez asked and Camila chuckled bitterly.
" I'd rather marry an Uber driver with a heart," she said and Mr Vasquez sighed softly .
Deep down he prayed his daughter didn't get herself into trouble with this attitude of hers .
After the father and daughter dance , he had a few words with Sebastiano before calling it a day .
" It's your wedding day Camila ,the least you could do is smile . You look frustrated, "Ignacio said as he drank from a glass of expensive wine .
" I don't look frustrated, Ignacio ,I am frustrated "she said and he smiled .
" I'm beginning to think not all women like men with money.I thought you were the spoiled heiress of the Vasquez family isn't that what the media calls you ? "He asked and she sighed softly.
" Believe the media at your own risk . I might have been a bit rebellious during my teenage days but I don't think I deserve this curse "she said and Ignacio threw his head backwards as she laughed.
" You consider being married to Capobranco a curse ? "He asked and she raised her eyebrows.
" Would you let your sister marry him "She asked with a frown on her face .
" I don't have a family Camila "he said and she snapped her head in his direction Wondering how easy it was for him to spit it out like that .
" Jeez "she said and he chuckled.
" I grew up in the orphanage and the mothers there named me Ignacio , because according to them I had a band on my hand with the name Ignacio . I got sent out of the orphanage at the age of thirteen because I fvcked one of the girls at the school toilet "he said as he ran his fingers in his hair .
" You did what ! "She asked with a chuckle.
" Fvcked one of the girls , it's not like I was the first to even do it. We were age mates and exploring teenage lusts and curiosity "he said and pulled on his tie sexily .
" How old are you "Camila asked as she sat next to him .
" You're older "he said and she sighed knowing he would not tell her exactly how old he was .
" Erduardo Is not as hard as you think he is , becoming the Capobranco robs a man of everything including one's real self " he said and she shook her head .
" After letting me marry him in wet clothes while he looked like a model on a runaway ,I will never forgive him "She said and Ignacio chuckled.
" Fine "he said and her eyes moved over to where Erduardo stood without a definite expression on his face .
She hated the fact that she could not read the man's emotions . He felt stiff and it pissed her off as she watched him shook hands with men from the business.
" Don't you wanna change ? "Ignacio asked and she ignored him which made him shake his head at her antics . She's going to come around when it finally dones on her that she married Eduardo and not Romeo .
" Is he gonna let me work "Camila asked after being silent for some time .
" It depends on how you breach the topic "he said and she sighed .
" I'm emotionally exhausted, Ignacio ,I feel betrayed "she said and he smirked .
" You'll get used to it "he said and Camila frowned as she saw him walk towards a lady who looked like she had something up her sleeves .
Deep down she wondered who that woman was and what she was saying to Ignacio .
Her eyes moved over to Camila and Immediately their eyes met she could swear that the woman was up to no good .
★★★
After the reception one of the maids saw her in another room . Immediately they got in Camila turned with a frown on her face .
" Why did you not tell me I would be moving to Mr Erduardo's room tonight ? "She asked and the maid bowed .
" You guys are married now Ma'am . I don't think Capobranco would like that "the girl said and Camila stared at her in disbelief .
" Why do you all seem to care about Capobranco more than you care about me ! "She fired angrily and took a deep breath in and out .
Asking that question sounds a bit stupid .
" I apologise ma'am "she said and Camila sighed.
" I will help you change and get ready for tonight "she said and Camila walked in front .
His room was huge and luxurious with a glass view of nature behind the huge curtains.
Everything in the room was grey and black . Camila could not help but wonder if the man had something against bright colours .
The maid helped her into the bathroom as she changed her clothes and gave her a massage to calm her nerves.
" What is your name ? "Camila asked and she smiled .
" Zina ma'am "she said and Camila smiled .
" Does Capobranco have another woman "she could not help but ask . Zee stared at her in shock .
" I don't think you should ask a poor maid about the Capobranco ma'am"she said and Camila sighed .
" You are my personal maid right ? You're not just going to be someone that serves me but my sister and friend, "Camila said, holding her hands softly .
Zina stared at the beautiful woman in the bathtub and sighed.
" Capobranco has his women ,I believe he's someone who likes his job done and getting into relationships with feelings attached would affect his work so ..."she trailed .
" He visits the escorts " Camila said as her eyes stung with unshed tears . What I seek in marriage is this.
" Don't think too much about it, Miss Camila "she said and camila gave a nod .
" Miranda used to be his recent favourite before you guys got married . She works for the Capo and I think she's very submissive "She said and Camila laughed bitterly .
" Ah ,I'm sure she wants me dead already. Why was this already sounding like a nightmare ? Miranda must be the woman from earlier " Camila thought as she bit her lower lip .
" Thank you zee"she said and zee smiled softly .
After the bath , she changed into a comfortable nightwear and tied the rope properly before walking towards the bed after bidding the maid goodbye .
It was quite late when Erduardo walked into the room with his hair messed up . He looked very tired as he fiddled with the tie on his neck , if she didn't dislike the man's guts Camila knew she would be swooning at his beauty .
" Welcome Mr Erduardo"she said and he didn't say anything as he removed his watch and dropped it on the bed .
" I have been waiting for you since " she said and he still did not say anything as he made his way towards the bathroom .
" I'm leaving for Spain tomorrow "she said and he stood on the spot before turning towards her .
Erduardo could not understand if the woman was serious or just getting on his nerves on purpose .
" Your life Is here with me in Sicily "he said and she stared at him with nothing but hatred .
" Haven't you done enough Eduardo ? You humiliated me today by dragging me to the altar in wet clothes ,isn't that enough punishment ?" She asked as her voice broke at the edge .
'" I need to return to work "she said and he stared at her for some time .
" No wife of mine will share what's mine with the general public ." He said calmly and she bit her lower lip trying to be calm .
The way and manner that he remained calm while frustrating her annoyed her more than anything else .
" I AM NOT YOUR PROPERTY ! "She bursted angrily.
" Good , let's see how that ends "he said and she took a deep breath in and out .
" You will not do shoots with only your underwear ,common sense Should tell you I don't like it " he said and Camila stared at the man in disbelief .
" I will not be performing any wifely duties to you Eduardo . This is marriage of convenience "she said and he chuckled bitterly.
" Interesting ,very interesting Camila "he said and went into the bathroom like she did not just drop a bomb on him .
Not performing her wifely duties meant ,not even gracing his bed. There was no way she would bring herself to spread her legs for a man as heartless as Erduardo , especially not after what he put her through .
He returned to the room in his nightwear of plain black shirt and sweatpants . Camila watched in shock as he made his way out of the room without another word .
" What the ..."She cursed under her breath as her eyes moved over to the other side of the bed and then the empty room .
The clock on the wall ticked and she shit her eyes tight as pain spread through her chest .
