A Love Like No Other

Chapter 5

Alejandra
The drive home was fairly short. My thoughts were occupied either by work or Fernando.

I cannot believe that am getting married to him. The man i've loved for six years.

I had changed a lot in the past years. Mostly in my appearance . 

Even I can't believe that the same girl with pigtails and braces had turned into a very beautiful woman.

My change was mostly because I wanted to impress Fernando when we met again.

The day we met was the best and worst day of my life. The best because I met Fernando and the worst because he ignored me. Also because of something else that occurred that night.

*flashback six years ago*
I wonder where Fernando is. It  was almost time to have the cake and he is nowhere to be found.

"Where are you? "I whispered to myself.

"I have to get out of here. "

That was Fernando's voice. I followed its source until I saw him standing by the pool and talking on the phone. 

"God. I have no idea why I followed my mum here."

"You have no idea how boring this is."

"I cannot spend another minute here. I can't stand the tutu princess. "

"Alejandra is the tutu princess. "

"You have no idea. She's so clingy and childish. "

He thinks am childish.

I bolted out of there immediately. I had no idea where I was running to . Eventually I found myself at the beach (our house was a beach house) .

I walked for a while silently crying out my sorrows.

I didn't hear him coming. When I noticed his presence, he had already grabbed me.

I tried to run and fight him but that was worthless. He was much stronger than me and he was also taller and heavy.

I tried to scream for help but no one came. The music from the house was too loud.

He rapped me.

He took my innocence forcefully.

When he left I was all alone. Everything was in a haze, my brothers coming to take me back to the house and my attempted suicide.

After that my father took me to my mothers home country. While in Spain I took self defense classes and had counseling after my many other suicidal attempts. I studied in the UK and came back to America after my graduation.

*end of flashback *

My life before was pityfull, it still is actually. I changed and became different because I didn't want to be the tutu princess that got taken advantage of.

And I want Fernando to realise that I am no longer clingy, childish and irritating.

I can do that now that we are getting married.

And I will also make him happy. I know he said he loved Isla, but I know he doesn't.

If he really did he would have waited for the week to end before seeing her. That way he would have spent the rest of his life with her if he so desired.

His impatience tells me all he wanted was the sex. And as far as am concerned he can live without it, 'cos am sure he won't want to touch me.

"We're home madam. "

"Thanks Paul."

I got out of the car and walked to my house.

I sighed when my back got contact with my bed. Goodnight world this girl has to go to rest.

Tomorrow I have work and my wedding dress fitting.

Its gonna be a looong day.
