Meanwhile, Leonardo was in a circle of friends.
Pedro: How does it feel to be about to marry such a beautiful woman?
Gustavo: Leonardo is a lucky man.
Leonardo: I'm great and so happy I can't contain it!
Matteo: Ah, my friend, everyone knows your love is someone else, right?
Nico: Don't even mention it or he might have a syncope!
Everyone laughs.
Matteo: I heard she broke up with the guy there.
Leonardo: Really?
Gustavo: Matteo, did you have to talk about that now? What does Leonardo have to do with that? They broke up.
Leonardo: How did you find out about that?
Matteo: I was in Venice with a girl and found out from people close to her. Fiorella is single.
Leonardo: Good for her.
Pedro: That's right, leave that behind, Leonardo, move forward. You're going to marry a good woman who loves you, I know you'll be very happy.
Leonardo smiles unwillingly.
Leonardo narrating...
Fake, everything was fake, I felt like an idiot there at that stupid dinner committing myself to a wedding I didn't want, I'm starting to question if all this is worth it, I accepted this crap also because I was angry and disillusioned but honestly I'm regretting it.
Later that day...
Rebeca narrating...
The party was magnificent, everyone congratulated us on the engagement and I was starting to feel a little better, we were all having dinner at our table composed of our family, both the Giordanos and the Ferraris were present, the food was wonderful as always, Grandma was euphoric and didn't even seem to be so sick, we were dining and chatting, Leonardo stayed with me at the party but refused to give me even one kiss on the mouth, we danced a lot against his will, who only gave me cold looks while I gave him the best smiles.
We were at our table when I saw a familiar figure in a corner of the party, it was her, Fiorella, she seemed fragile and tearful, it was an exclusive party in a club by a lake, no one would stop her because everyone knew that Fiorella was practically part of the Ferrari family and no one in that city would want to displease the Ferraris, especially Leonardo, so she entered without question, Marcela who is talking to me looks in the same direction as me, fortunately everyone was so distracted that they didn't even notice, especially Grandma who would be furious.
Marcela realizing that this wouldn't work draws everyone's attention.
Marcela: Leonardo, I think it's time to give Rebeca the engagement ring, right?
Violeta: That's right, your cousin is right, it's past time, isn't it?
Leonardo smiles reluctantly, he takes the bride by the hand and follows to the middle of the hall.
Violeta follows the two and asks for everyone's attention on the microphone.
Violeta: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Tonight for the Ferraris and the Giordanos is very important because it will seal the commitment of two people I love so much, Rebeca and my grandson Leonardo, so dear, the time has come.
Leonardo: Do you want to marry me?
Rebeca: Yes, that's what I want most.
Leonardo takes a small box from his pocket, he takes out the ring and puts it on Rebeca's finger, who smiles emotionally.
The crowd applauds and flashes echo through the hall, Fiorella in a corner observes everything attentively.
Leonardo kisses Rebeca's forehead and smiles.
Leonardo: Thank you everyone for coming.
He smiles and hugs Rebeca who is very happy. The applause and whistles increase.
Then the two are greeted by their families.
