The request

(Sara)

My name is Sara Denver, I'm 25 years old, and I currently live in Orlando in the United States.

I lost my father ten years ago, and since then my godfather has taken care of me.

He and my father were best friends, and my father had complete trust in him, and I never had a mother to play a caretaker role, as she disappeared into the world when I was still a baby.

I loved my godfather, he paid for my studies, my courses, he gave me a good life and all the best, and even though he didn't live with me, he would visit me every weekend, and for me the best days were when he was present.

I lived with Elena, she was a very kind lady that my godfather paid to stay with me, because his work prevented him from always being there, I understood him, after all it was not an easy task to build everything he built, he was a businessman and it was his work that supported me.

When I turned 18, I met a guy and fell head over heels in love with him, and it was with him that I lost my virginity, but the guy was no good, he just wanted to use me, and days later I caught him in bed with someone else, that was it. the biggest disappointment of my life, and since then I have avoided falling in love again, treated sex as a temporary pleasure, and this has made me not emotionally attached to anyone to this day, I say this, because everything changed, then that I met CRISTIAN BACK, my godfather's highly hot, sexy, possessive son, who has been making my promise not to get emotionally attached to anyone more and more difficult.

It all started three years ago, when my godfather revealed that he was being treated for an aggressive cancer, the only ones who knew that information were Elena and I, I didn't understand why he kept it from people close to him, like his son for example, but I kept it a secret like he asked me to.

The fear of losing my godfather made me use sex as a subterfuge, an escape valve, as it was the only time I forgot about my problems.

During this period I met a girl who paid for college with the money from the programs she did, we became very friendly, and she made me a bold proposal, promising loads of money just to have sex with rich men, I thought, why not? I already had free sex, besides, I could be without my godfather at any moment, and with his departure, my life of privileges could end, so I embarked on the world of prostitution.

After a while, my godfather got really sick, and it was impossible to keep hiding what he had from people.

A little over a year ago, I was called to the hospital, and I received the sad news that he didn't have much time to live, I only knew how to cry, because he was my only family, and even though he had a son, they had already I hadn't seen him in years, because he studied abroad, and the last time I saw him, we only exchanged three words, I was shy, and he was a complete idiot, who thought he was the last cookie in the package, he looked at me as if I were a being from another world, and even without saying anything, I noticed his mocking look in my direction, and I mentally thanked him for not having to live with him after my father left, after that I never saw him again him, and although my godfather always came to visit me, he never took his son, so I had no idea how he was doing, I just knew that he worked in one of my godfather's companies and nothing else.

When I saw my godfather so weak, I realized that he had called me to prepare for the worst.

— Please godfather, don't leave me, I don't have anyone else for me.

Godfather: Sit here my dear.

I obeyed him and sat next to him.

His eyes were teary, and as much as I had already heard from the staff at my house and from Elena herself that he was a heartless man, I thought he was the most loving man in the world, I couldn't see in him that man that everyone they were afraid.

Godfather: You know that I have you as a daughter, and that you were a gift that your father left, so that I could become a better human being, and your father knew that you would soften my heart when he entrusted you to me, he was right, you are like a light, capable of radiating any darkness.

Things aren't looking good for me Sara, and I feel like I'm about to leave this world, but before I leave, I want you to think about my proposal and give me a quick response.

— I'll do anything you ask me godfather.

Godfather: I want you to marry my son, he will keep the promise I made to his father, and he will take care of you, he will give you a safe and happy life, he will be the husband you need.

His words took me by surprise, after all I didn't need or want a husband, even more so when it came to that arrogant and mocking one.

— What you're asking of me is too much godfather, I can't marry someone I don't even know, I don't know anything about him, and all these years, we've never seen each other again, how can he be a good husband, if don't know anything about me?

Godfather: It's a way for you not to be alone in the world Sara, when I'm gone, the person closest to me will be him, the only family you'll have, will be him, I want you to have a company that I trust , someone I know will do everything I ask, and the only one who can do that is Cristian.

I knew that I didn't need to marry Cristian to be happy, after all I was really making a lot of money from the programs and I could very well be happy with myself, but I couldn't reveal that to my godfather.

— I don't need a man for any of that godfather, I know how to get by, I know I can support myself, I have good studies, I'll get a good job and I'll be happy without having to marry anyone.

Godfather: Don't think I won't leave you anything Sara, you deserve to keep my assets as much as Cristian does, and you will have 50% of everything, I just want to die in peace, knowing that I fulfilled the promise I made to your father .

— You've already fulfilled when you took care of me all these years, you don't owe anything to my father, much less to me, I'm very grateful to have had you in my life, and I don't...

I took a long pause trying to hold back the tears that were streaming down my face.

Godfather: Don't cry my dear, I don't like to see you like this.

— You did a good job here godfather, know that, you don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine.

Godfather: Let's make a deal, okay? You commit to being married to Cristian for two years, after that, if you see that you need something else, if you don't feel happy, you get divorced, and live your life, and he'll give you your share of the business billing monthly, but I need you to try, do it for me.

— I don't understand why this is so important to you godfather.

Sponsor: You may not understand now, but one day you will.

I kept silent, and faced my godfather for a long time, his suffering and fragility made me give a compulsive response, which made me regret it later, but it was too late to go back.

— All right, godfather, I'll marry him.

I had no idea the craziness I was getting myself into.
