"You may now kiss your bride" the father said and the bastard kissed me while smiling like a fool.
Well my name is Maria Perez.I am the only child of Brenda and Miguel Perez, am 22 years old. My lovely father Miguel perez fell seriously ill earlier this year which made Brenda to sell all our horses and most of our range in order to pay for his treatment yet no improvement so we have to get a loan from the bank and gave our house as a collecteral in case we don't pay back the money by the end of the year and luckily my father started getting better but we where in debt and our house was at stake. My father felt bad when he found out we sold everything in order for him to get better. We had left only our house and the little ranch at the back with few horses. We where talking about our debt when the witch I have as a mother brought up an idea
"We have only a few months left to pay back the loan we took from the bank "Brenda said
"Yes honey "my dad replied
"I ran into Mr Alejandro Rodriguez earlier today" brenda said
"Oh Alejandro it's been a while i saw him"my dad said
"And who is Mr Alejandro "i asked
"Maria Mr Alejandro is the owner of the range opposite the del monte's range, he is a very wealthy young man you know"mum answered
"But how is that supposed to help us right now "I said
"I made a deal with him"mum said
"What type of deal "I asked
"While discussing with him earlier today when I met him he mentioned Maria he said he has seen you are few time and picked interest in you, he also said he finds you so attractive "
"Really "I asked astonished
"Yes darling so I made a deal with him telling him that if he wants you can get married to him cause you have also seen him and liked him "
"And why would you say that mum"
"Brenda she has not mentioned anything about Alejandro she doesn't even know him"dad said
"Well you both should let me finish and in exchange he would pay all our debts and get us another range" the witch said
"That is so crazy "I said
"No it's not, think of it Maria we are in so much debt and very soon our house would be taken away from us if we don't pay the loan back"mum said
"Brenda she doesn't even know him"
"Miguel we have so many debts to pay because of you and this is our only option "
"Mum don't say that to dad"
"Am sorry Miguel but am getting stressed out because of all this "she rolled her eyes
"Its okay , its all my fault "dad said
"No dad it isn't, we are all going to pass through this together "I said
"Honey am sorry" mum said
"its okay"dad said
"Miguel I think you should go to bed now and rest"mum says
"Yes dad I think so too "
And we both lead him to bed to rest then we left dad's bedroom
"Maria think about what I said okay honey "
"But mum I already have a boyfriend"
"Do you mean Jose Louis"
"Yes of course mum"
"He can't even take care of himself talk less of caring for you Maria, you deserve better take a look at yourself"
"I love him"
"Love wouldn't feed you or give you shelter Maria"
"Mum but..... "
"Maria if you marry Alejandro all our troubles would be over he would pay our debts, get us a range. Think about it maria consider your father he isn't all that well at all and the loan we took from the bank has to be paid. Your dad can't work anymore but if we get another large range we can employ people to work on the range for us. And your dad doesn't want me to ask for help from my sibling maria you are our only child and we need this favour, do it for us especially your dad or do you wish for us to lose this house where we have so many memories"
"No we aren't going to lose the house"
"Then help us so that we don't lose it"
"Jose would help us mum"
"Don't lie to yourself maria you know too well that jose is an orphan and has no money"
"He would work mum"
"How long would he work for us to be able to pay our debts maria"
"But mum I don't even know him"
"When you get married you will get to know him better maria"
"Mum so you want me to get married to a man I don't know and go live with him in his range what would we talk about mum "
"No need to worry about that Maria you guys are still young you would get to know him with time be smart for once maria,Don't be a useless child help us out now that we are in need of your help cause you alone can help us solve our problem by simply marrying Mr Alejandro how difficult can that be "
"What of jose what do I tell him mum"
"No need to tell him anything maria you just need to get married to Alejandro and he would take you to his range jose wouldn't see you or hear from you then he would obviously forget about you. Do this for your father maria Perez think of him"
"Okay then let's get married"was all I said and here I am marrying a man I barely know without the love of my life jose Louis knowing that am getting married todayWhat do you think about Maria and Alejandro. Please vote and comment it means alot to me.
