CHAPTER 38
Today is a new beginning, my first day as Mrs. Ainsworth. “I never thought I would say that” there is nothing strange about it really and I don’t feel strange carrying that title as I have always been the lady of his home, the only thing that happened was that we got married as it was meant to be.
Today we would go on our honeymoon trip for a day, Eros promised me there would be days like this to make up for us not being able to enjoy our honeymoon any longer. But I guess this is better than nothing
-You don’t know how much I’m going to miss you my heart -Eros’ mother hugs her granddaughter as if she won’t come back. -But grandma promises to have lots of presents for you when you come back.
-Madam, you can pretend I don’t exist, but even if you don’t want to accept it, I am Mrs. Ainsworth now. Whether I want to be or not.
-Ha ha. -You don’t think that because you’re the wife of my darling baby, I’m going to accept you.
-Then you’d rather have a crazy woman obsessed with her son who is capable of risking the life of her beloved granddaughter. -I said ironically -That’s being an unstable person.
She puts her right hand to her chest, “Did you just call me crazy?
-Yes I did.
Entre closes her eyes about to tell me something but her son appeared and she smiles like an angel, Eros asks if everything is ok and his mother as an expert in the art of lies tells him that we were having a nice conversation about how I should dress now that I am part of his family.
I couldn’t hide my laughter as Eros thinks he’s going to believe that stupid story, obviously he wouldn’t.
-I love that. -It’s about time they started to get along.
-Wait what?
-Oh dear daughter-in-law,” Eros’ mother takes my hand and starts to hurt me, “You don’t know how much fun we’re going to have. That’s why I’m looking forward to their early return from their honeymoon.
I abruptly let go as I watch her smile more fake than a clown’s, we get on her family’s private jet to go to the place that is still a surprise for me. Eros told me about his family of each member since it was my request “so I should know what I’m dealing with” although I don’t know if I should trust what he says since apparently, they all have a double face when they are with him.
Melissa, well, thank heavens I haven’t heard from her again since the wedding, I mean yesterday, Besides, my husband , caught her off guard when she was talking about what Leo did, she was giving too much information to the guests and when she saw Eros she froze, she looked like a sheet of paper when she saw him, she wanted to wipe her hands of what she was doing but Eros didn’t listen to her and threw her out.
-It is a property of our family, but my father gave it to us yesterday as a wedding gift.
When the Jet was on land I signed I was stunned as this was something incredible, an island, an island with all the amenities! The house is so huge I think it is three times as huge as ours where we live.
-It’s huge,” I can’t get over my surprise, “I guess your family used to come here often.
-I don’t think so. The last time I came here I was 15 years old. -Eros stops and tells me to go ahead and take the phone call.
-Your sister?
Eros had told me about her, but I didn’t give it any importance since apparently they are the only ones that so far, have not given us any problems. They and their father since Eros’ uncle is still trying to find out things that will make us look bad to his family but he has not achieved anything on the contrary, they support our relationship since they feel sorry for the poor wretch they left standing at the altar, so I would rather they feel sorry for me than hate me because they think I’m a gold digger.
As we entered I was surprised that the house looked better inside than ours, it even had some security details for the baby “Eros’ father is very considerate” surely he knew this and that’s why he made the changes.
-Welcome,” an elderly woman enters and greets me with a smile, “Oh, what a beautiful baby.
-Her name is Isabel. And you are?
-Oh, I’m sorry. I’m the housekeeper, you can call me Lupe. -I wave a smile because she looks kind -Surely you must be the senorita’s nanny.
“What?”
-No, no… I’m Mrs. Ainsworth.
-Mrs. Ainsworth? -she repeats in confusion -Oh, I didn’t know young Apollo was married.
-No ma’am, I am the wife of Eros Ainsworth.
She tilts a smile, “No, that’s impossible. Young Eros is a man who has made it clear that he would never marry because marriage is not his thing.
-Well, we all change over time, we’ve been living together for a few months now but only got married yesterday.
-So… that baby?
-Yes, it’s our beautiful daughter, Isabel, she doesn’t know when she adores this little one. It’s not like that, love. -Isabel always smiled when we talked to her in a funny way. -Oh, there she is.
When Eros enters and locates us, the lady is paralyzed when he kisses me chastely and then takes Isabel and plays with her to make her smile, Eros when he sees the lady introduces us and she only says that we already met, she looked pale as if the news had fallen on her like a time bomb.
-Are you all right Lupe?
-Yes, yes… it’s just that… I was surprised that you have a wife and daughter since you… you were very clear when you said you preferred to be alone.
-Well, I guess I hadn’t found the right person to take those silly ideas out of my head. -He smiles and kisses me chastely, “Have you already met my lovely princess?
