JORGE ~ POV
Her soft, small fingers intertwine with mine as we walk into the studio. Her other hand is pushing the child seat with Sophia in it.

Now she is going on tour, she needs to practice a lot. I look around and see lots of kids dancing, singing and having fun.

Some are young, some are older, but they all work together. Tini immediatly runs to her friends who cheer happily and hug her.

I smile and hold the child seat of Martina while walking to her. "Hey Jorge!" Mechi says smiling. "How is everything going? Are you going to get married already?" I chuckle as Martina gives Mechi a death glare.

"Mechi!" She says angrily as Mechi laughs.

"No Mechi, we're not getting married yet." I say while laughing.

"I'm just dropping her off for practice, good luck precious" I kiss her lips and walk out with Sophia.

I sit down in my car and put Sophia in the back. I start driving to our house. I keep thinking about the person in our house.

Was it Stephie? Why would she come back?

Also Mechi's sentence keeps repeating in my head.

Are you going to get married already?

I mean, maybe we should. I love her and don't ever want to lose her again. But I just don't know if she is ready.

I arrive at our house and sit down on the couch while Sophia plays with some blocks on the ground. I hear a sound from the kitchen as I immediatly run to there.

I see Stephie sitting on a chair, reading something. "What are you doing here!? Why are you in my house!?" I scream angrily as she calmly looks up at me.

"What? Can't I be in the house of my future husband?" My face turns confused and angry at the same time.

"I am nót your future husband!" I say while getting furious.

"Oh honey, you just don't know that yet. But I want you so I decided that you are going to marry me." I pull her off the chair, making her stand in front of me.

Her hair hangs loosely over her shoulder and her face is calm. "Why would I marry you?" I say, calmy now.

Learned that from Ruggero.

"Because I don't think your precious would want to be in the hospital again." My heart skipped a beat.

She is going to hurt Martina.

"No, but that doesn't mean I am going to marry you. I'll protect her" I say, still remaining calm to her.

"But you can't always be with her? Can you?" A wide smirk forms on her lips which makes me want to throw up.

"I'm not going to give in this time Stephie. You can forget it. I already lost her one time because of you, I'm not falling for your tricks again." I say confidently and push her out of the door. I see a wide smirk on her face before I close the door.

-

I hear a knock on the door as I stand up. I walk to the door and open it. I only see a note laying on the ground.

I pick up the note and read it.

Dear Jorgie,
I would marry me quickly if I were you. This was just the beginning.
X your girl

As I read the letter I immediatly drop it on the ground.

She hurted Martina.

I run upstairs and get Sophia. I lift her up and run with her outside. I put her on my lap while starting the car.

I drive as fast as possible to the studio and run inside. I run to the stage with Sophia in my arms and see Mechi, Lodo, Cande and Facu standing around something.

I run to them and see Martina sitting in the middle. She is crying while holding her ankle.

"Jorge?" Mechi says as she notices me. The others turn around and see me as well.

"What happened?" I sit down next to Martina while wrapping my arm around her shoulder. Sophia immediatly gets out of my arms and gets on Martina's lap.

"Mama, why are you crying?" Her small voice asks while looking at Martina.

Martina laughs softly while kissing Sophia's head.

"Someone rolled small balls over the stage where I was dancing. I tripped and now it hurts Jorge" Martina explains while holding Sophia tight.

"Do you think it's broken?" I ask as she shakes her head.

"No, probably bruised. Could you take me home, than I will take some rest and practice further tomorrow." I nod and stand up.

I lift Sophia up, who tries to work against me. I place her softly in Cande's arms. "Can you bring her to the car" I ask as Cande nods.

I then lift up Martina as she giggles lightly. "You're so strong handsome" She whispers giggling in my ear.

I smile and bring her to the car. I place her on the seat next to me and than get Sophia out of Cande's arms.

I place Sophia on her seat behind Martina. I sit down in the car myseelf and start driving.

Stephie is serious, she is going to hurt Martina worse than this.

I don't know what to do, I really can't marry her. I just won Martina back, I can't lose her again.

There has to be another way, but I just don't know what. We arrive at our house as I first lift Martina and lay her on the couch.

I then get Sophia and place her on.the ground as she starts playing with her blocks again.

"Thanks handsome, for coming" I smile and kiss her head.

"No problem darling" She laughs softly.

"I need to do something in our room. I'll be back in a few minutes, just watch tv or something" She nods as I quickly walk upstairs.

I grab my phone and type Ruggero's number. "Hey Jorge!" I hear him say.

"I have a huge problem, and I need your help" I immediatly say back.

"You didn't lose her again, did you?" Ruggero asks as I hear him sigh deeply.

"No, I didn't. This problem is way worse."

"What's wrong Jorge, what's worse than losing her?" He asks confused.

"Losing her forever" I say and start telling him the story.

How Stephie wants to marry me.and threatened with hurting Martina. About the letter I got and how she bruised Martina's ankle.

"That is worse, man" He says as I sigh deeply. "Does Martina know about this?" He adds.

"No of course not, she can't know my ex is trying to marry me. She'll offer herself so I won't have to marry Stephie. But I don't want her to get hurt, especially not now she is going on tour without me." I explain slowly.

"I get it man, I'll come to your house tonight, than we can discuss this situation" I press my lips onto each other.

"Thanks man" I say and hang up the phone.

I sit down on our bed with my hand in my hair.

She deserves to be happy, and not with someone by which she gets hurt. She already has a hard past and has been in the hospital a lot of time.

Her body can't handle more pain and medicines. She deserves to be with someone who is safe for her.

And how hard it is to say, that's not me. I don't deserve her. My last chance to keep her safe, is to marry Stephie.
