It was a very important day for me. Not only is it my birthday today, but it was also my wedding.

For many months I waited for this day. I anxiously waited for it to arrive and to become Rogelio San Roman's wife.

For me, he is the most important man in the world. I can't imagine my life without him. Today I turn 26 years old and my wedding is my birthday present.

I want this day to be the most unforgettable of my entire life. I know it will be, Rogelio has planned a grand party.

Although thinking that he has spent a fortune on the party makes me feel a little guilty. I wanted something simple, just the people closest to us.

My brother,  and my friends. Rogelio's family and his friends. Something intimate only with the people who truly appreciate us.

However, Rogelio wanted something big. Important guests, journalists who talk about our wedding for days.

Our families are very powerful and he likes to maintain an image of power to others.

Not me so much, I like to live a simple life, without so many jewels and look a little normal. Drive my car myself and go for a walk without so many escorts.

Not Rogelio, he always has escorts, he has a lifestyle so different from mine, but still I love him with all my soul.

For my civil wedding I chose a simple dress. But for the church wedding that would be at night, I chose a majestic white dress, princess style.

That's the one I'm wearing right now. I liked it so much that I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror.

I love looking at myself dressed in white, I know that if my parents were alive, they would be proud of me.

I had the dress made from the first day Rogelio asked me to be his wife.

That night was the most wonderful night of all. Fireworks lit up the sky, forming the word. Do you want to marry me?

Rogelio knelt beside me, showed me the ring and I accepted without thinking. It was my greatest dream, it was what I always longed for.

Since I met Rogelio at that party, I always knew I wanted to marry him.

He was the ideal man for me, his character and personality were what caught my attention the most.

With each passing day I fell more and more in love with him, until I couldn't imagine my life without him.

I never imagined that I would be so nervous on my wedding day. I wanted everything to go perfectly.

That when Rogelio sees me, he feels proud of me. I will be the envy of everyone, no one will be able to hire such an incredible man as he is.

Martin is the one who is going to give me away in the church. Being my older brother and in the absence of my parents, he is the one who is going to give me away on such a special day for me.

My brother adores me, I am his greatest treasure and he is my strength. My shoulder to cry on and my counselor.

...Knock... Knock......

I heard a knock on the door, I had to change out of the wedding dress I will wear at night.

"Come in, the door is open."

They pushed the door open and it is Celia who enters. Celia has been my best friend since childhood.

Since she was very young she has been after my brother; but, Martin has eyes for no one but his fiancee Esmeralda.

I have not met her in person yet, as she has lived abroad since she was very young.

Martin speaks wonders of her, he assures that she is the perfect woman. Physically, she is a model and inside she is even more beautiful.

I think Martin will bring her to my wedding, I'm dying to meet the woman who has stolen my brother's heart. I hope to have nephews soon and be able to see them play with my son.

Exactly! I'm expecting a child from Rogelio.

It's my wedding gift to him. I'm dying to tell him that we're going to be parents. That God has sent us a gift from heaven that will unite us for the rest of our lives.

Instinctively I placed my hands on my belly. Feeling that there is a new life inside me makes me very excited.

"Lilit, you look beautiful in that wedding dress. Is that the one you're going to wear at night, right?."

"Yes, it's the one I had made in Italy. They delivered it to me a week ago and I wanted to try it on before going to the civil wedding."

"It shows that you come from a rich family. Only important people have the power to do whatever they want regardless of what they spend."

I felt Celia's comment as if she was envious of me. Although, I think it's my imagination, she and I have been friends since childhood, I have always treated her like a sister regardless of the fact that she is the daughter of my nanny.

"They are things without much importance. They are luxuries that are sometimes not very important." I answered.

"Don't you have something to tell your best friend?"

"Your mischievous look betrays you. Come on, tell me what secrets you're keeping?"

"Forget it, Celia. I'm not going to tell you anything until I'm happily married to Rogelio."

"That's still a few hours away. Come on, don't be mean. Just tell me that I'll soon be an aunt."

I opened my eyes wide, surprised by Celia's words.

"How did you know?"

The expression on Celia's face changed for a second, then she smiled again. She hugs me and says.

"Congratulations, beautiful. You will be a very good mother."

"I know. I want to give Rogelio the news as a wedding gift."

"He will go crazy when he finds out too. He longs to be a dad so much."

"Well, congratulations to both of you. I'm dying to see you walk into the Church."

Celia moves away from me and turns her back on me. I notice that there is a slight distancing on her part. As if the news of my pregnancy doesn't make her as happy as she pretends.

"Celia, can you leave me alone for a moment. I want to be alone with my son. Talk to him for a moment, find the right words to give him the news."

Celia forced a slight smile and leaves the room. I am surprised to see her like that, as she left she slammed the door making a loud noise.

...Narrated by Celia...

I felt like I was burning inside, a fire that spread throughout my body and that is impossible to stop.

I felt jealousy, envy, and an enormous desire to wipe that stupid smile off Lilit's face. If I don't get out of this room, I might tell Lilit everything.

Tell her that her beloved fiance and I are lovers. That we have slept together a couple of times and that we have enjoyed it greatly.

I tried to control what I was feeling, but it was stronger than me.

I leaned my body against the wall, closing my eyes tightly. My heart was beating violently inside my chest.

The desire I felt to shout at her that he is not everything she imagines. That Rogelio doesn't love her as much as she thinks.

My nails dug into the palm of my hands, causing slight wounds.

The desire for the wedding to be canceled was immensely great. I wanted to see Lilit's face when Rogelio left her standing at the altar.

And, if he didn't, I would make the scandal. I will tell everyone that Rogelio and I are lovers and that we are expecting a child.

Even if the child thing is a lie. I long to see Lilit's face when she knows that I have been her fiance's lover for two months and the news of my supposed pregnancy.

However, my fantasies vanished when she confirmed what I had suspected.

A child will unite Lilit and Rogelio forever, and that makes me burn inside. It makes me wonder.

Why did she have to be so lucky and I didn't?

Since she was a child, she has had everything, a life surrounded by luxuries, a brother who loves her with all his heart, and now she will marry the man I want.

At first, I wanted to marry Martin. He was powerful and would give me the life I had always wanted.

However, David has always seen me as just another employee of his house. He treats me with the tip of his shoe, he is hostile towards me.

He has kept his distance and prefers to ignore me. I never knew why, I have been beautiful, I am even more beautiful than Lilit.

She is pretty, but she has no grace. She is like an ugly duckling, for whom you only feel affection and not desire.

On the other hand, I am beautiful on the outside and fire on the inside. I know how to take a man to touch the sky with his hands. Make him lose his will when he is in my bed.

I have always aspired to have a better life. But being the daughter of the maid has led to no important man turning to look at me.

Rogelio was the first man who didn't see me as a maid. He was the one who saw something more in me. That woman with whom he could have fun and have a good time in bed.

Something has to start somewhere, right? After we sleep together, he never stays at home, he gets dressed and leaves my apartment.

Even so, he gives me what I want, I am his outlet and he gives me what I want. But I am no longer satisfied with the leftovers he gives me.

I want to become Mrs. San Roman, and I know that one day I will achieve it. For that, I must remove Lilit from the path. She already enjoys too much now it's my turn.

I opened my eyes and they reflect what I carry inside. I looked one last time at the door of Lilit's bedroom.

I let out a sigh of helplessness and walked away, at this moment I was capable of anything. Even causing her an abortion so that that child does not unite her with Rogelio.

As I walked, I saw something really strange, Rogelio entered one of the rooms with another woman. Could it be that they are lovers?

I had never seen the woman who was next to Rogelio. She was really beautiful, she looked like a magazine model.

Spectacular body, caramel-colored hair, tall, with noticeable curves. Perfect face and she dressed so elegantly.

She entered the bedroom first, she looked a little nervous. Then Rogelio makes sure that no one sees them and enters.

Quickly, I approached the door of the room, I put my ear close to the door, I wanted to know who is that woman who has just entered the room with him.

...Narrated by Rogelio...

I felt like I was in a dream from which I never wanted to wake up. I saw her again and again and I couldn't believe it was her.

My hands caressed her face, it was her. It was her!

My beloved Esmeralda. The woman I thought I had lost for years.

"Roger... What we are doing is wrong. You... You... Are...."

I don't allow her to finish speaking and tell me what I already know. I put my finger on her lips and say in a low voice.

"Let me enjoy this moment. Let me feel your skin next to mine."

Her soft hands are placed around my neck, her breath gently hits my face.

"It's wrong, Roger. You will soon be a married man and I... And I, am the fiancee of your future wife's brother."

"Please be quiet. It's just you and me. Let the world outside fall to pieces. I just want to enjoy this moment."

"You don't know how much I wanted to be like this with you." I said without being able to control my impulses.

We look each other in the eyes for a short moment. I can still notice what she feels for me.

Her red lips brush against mine, her scent of roses with a touch of citrus makes me crazy with desire for her.

I placed my hands on her waist, I brought her closer to my body. Her skin is very close to mine.

Completely forgetting that it was my wedding day. Feeling her so close to me takes me to the past.

To the past that I still remember every night. With which I keep dreaming.

I still remember her naked body under me, her moans when we made love.

"Roger, my love." She opens her lips, using a soft tone of voice.

"Shut up, please. I'm dying to make love to you," I whispered in her ear.

"This is wrong... You and I can't be like this." A couple of tears fell down Esmeralda's cheeks.

"What does it matter if it's wrong! I still love you."

My lips were eager to devour her mouth. My hands to touch her skin.

"No... No..."

Esmeralda puts both hands on my chest and tries to get away from me. Something I don't allow.

Even if a thousand years pass, she will always live in my heart, in my skin. Her caresses are tattooed deep in my soul.

I still remember every night she gave herself to me.

At this moment I have forgotten everything related to my wedding with Lilit. It's just Esmeralda and me.

Let the world crumble around us. I just want to make love to the woman I love so intensely.

When I saw Esmeralda in the garden, I thought I was imagining seeing her. A simple illusion.

I closed my eyes and went back to the past, a past that until now I have not been able to erase from my mind.

Esmeralda has always been the woman I have loved the most. It was the circumstances of life that took her away from me, not to mention the fault of my parents.

"You feel the same way I feel about you. I know you still haven't been able to forget me."

Before she could answer, I kissed her lips madly. Her lips still tasted delicious, addictive.

When we were very young my parents separated her from me. It was something that marked me forever, for years I tried to find her, but nothing worked.

I never managed to know anything about her, until now that I saw her in the garden of the Armendariz mansion.

Seeing her again awakened so many things in me, it was like reliving again.

"I still can't believe you're here. Smelling your scent, feeling your skin next to mine. It makes me feel alive."

Without hesitation, I kissed her mouth again madly. That mouth that makes me do foolish things.

The kiss was just as I have dreamed of it so much. My hands went down her waist to her buttocks.

I couldn't control the desire I felt for her.

I carried Esmeralda in my arms and put her on the table behind her.

"Roger, stop... Stop..."

"I swear if you ask me again I will." I said, looking her in the eyes.

She opens her legs and throws her head back, her caramel hair touches the table where she is sitting. Inviting me to make love to her.

I pulled her dress up to her waist and pulled down her panties. I kissed her neck down to her breasts.

I couldn't stop myself anymore, we both wanted it so much. I lowered the top of her dress, her moans escaped from her lips.

She makes me lose my mind, I'm still crazy about her. I kissed every part of her body. She responded to my kisses, to my caresses. We both wanted this to happen.

I released one of my hands from her body and lowered the zipper of my pants. I penetrated her with so much desire, that her moans were heard in every corner.

I kissed her lips to drown her moans. They could hear us and I didn't want this to end like this.

Esmeralda does not deserve to be pointed out for being a lover. We invented a thousand different positions, until our bodies felt satisfied.

After making love. Esmeralda fixes her dress and her hair.

"Roger, what will happen now?"

"How will I look Martin in the eye?"

"What face will I show your fiancee?"

"What we have done is wrong..."

I finished fixing my clothes and approached Esmeralda. I hugged her to me, in a soft voice, I say.

"I will not marry Lilit."

"I want you to go away with me, away from all this."

Esmeralda, surprised by my request, looks at me in disbelief.

"Roger, do you really want us to run away?"

"It will be a scandal. The most harmed will be your fiancee."

Sooner or later, Lilit had to understand that I don't love her. That what I felt for her was only affection. That the woman I really loved is Esmeralda.

"I will talk to her... I will not marry someone I don't love."

Esmeralda looked down, put her hands between us.

Her tears were falling and before she could say anything, applause was heard.

"Bravo... Bravo...!"

"I had met cynical people, but never one like you, Rogelio San Roman."

"Look, you bring your two lovers to your wedding with the silly Lilit, that's something no man would have dared to do."

Celia looked down, observing Esmeralda's panties that were under the table. She became furious, clenched her fists and added in a loud voice.

"While you are sleeping with that slut in the Armendariz mansion."

"The naive Lilit dresses as a bride, excited to become your wife."

"Shut up! You are no one to enter this room."

"Who is she?" Esmeralda asked me.

I was not going to tell her that Celia is the woman I have slept with a couple of times.

"Get out of here Celia!" I exclaimed furiously.

"I will not leave this room until she knows who I am."

"I said shut up!" I clenched my teeth.

This was getting out of my hands. Celia's screams could attract the attention of Martin or Lilit. If that happened this would become a chaos.

"In a couple of hours you marry the naive Lilit and you are already cheating on her with her."
