Unexpected love

Chapter 28

Since she left the podium she has been busy meeting different guests. Everyone is approaching her to congratulate and express their appreciation towards their project. I have been following her with my eyes since the moment she stood up in front of us, presenting herself as the CEO of Archea, one of the biggest architecture firms all over the globe.

She looks so beautifully elegant meeting everyone and expressing gratitude towards them. A soft smile in her face is welcoming every guest and her desire to be with them is so mesmerizing. While meeting everyone, Mia, her assistant is with her, helping Sara in understanding which is the guest in front of her. Most of the guest meeting her are CEOs over 70 years old and I really like that her job is acknowledged by elderly people.

But there is also something that is bothering me. There are also men, close to our age, who are approaching her and the way they look at her is making me uncomfortable. I see admiration in their eyes, and not only. Lust. They are eating her with their eyes. I really want to go there and stop them, but I can not, since she is so smiley with them.

I thought that she was not that friendly with men, and here she is flirting with every man possible. After she met all the formal guests, she headed towards a small group of women and men. I think those are her friends, judging by the fact that she seems more relaxed now. She is laughing all the time and she seems so happy, meanwhile here I am bulking over every glance that a man gives at her.

I am standing in the table, playing with my wine glass. I do not usually drink, since I prefer to have my body clean, but today I am feeling the need to focus on something else. I do not want to over-drink so instead I play with the full wine glass, by making circles with it. I am so lost in thoughts and I get stunned a little bit, when my father talks to me.

"Aron, this was such a nice surprise, right? Even though I am a little sad that she did not share this secret with us when we first met, but since I really enjoyed her speech and the fact that she is the CEO of such a great company, I will forget this little thing. Hahaha...oh, right, does she know that you like her company very much and she is the reason of your current success? I can't wait to tell her. I am so proud of my daughter in law."

"Imagine how proud I feel." Said my father in law with such a proud face. They started to have a fight on which was more proud of her. They seemed so happy about what happened tonight. Totally the opposite of what I am feeling.

I feel lost. I entered this marriage with a thought in my head. The woman who was going to marry me, was someone desperate for money, fame, beauty, name. Since the first  moment I met her, I realized she was going to be different, but I never thought this much. I thought that as for all the women that I have met until now, I would feel nothing for her, but here I am getting irritated at every thing that she does, because her touch makes me think things I do not want to. Here I am getting angry about the way other men look at her. This is not right. This should not happen. This is an arranged marriage, destined to fail. This was my plan. Stay married for maximum a year, divorce and then never see her again.

While I was so lost on my thoughts, I raised my head and there I saw something that totally made me lose my mind. Sara, with so many men around her, and in particular with a man, which is holding in her shoulders and is about to touch her bare waist. My vision darkened. I stood from the table as soon as I could and headed towards them, with a low speed, cause I did not want to draw any attention to us. I walked fast and as soon as I got close to Sara, I put my hand in her waist, took her closer to my body and kissed her.

I kissed Sara.
