"I'm home" I yell, but nobody is home.

I just came back from the club and I have no idea if I should take the deal or not.

Mateo seems nice... nicer than I expected...

*TRING!!! TRING!!!*

That's my phone.

I take it out of my pocket and see that Bella, my best en only friend, is calling me.

"Hey, Bells, What's up?"

"Emi, it's been so long" she says, sighing.

"I know... it's been some crazy days for me-"

"-TELL ME" she yells, interrupting me.

I laugh and explain everything to her.

I can trust Bella, like really trust her... she has done so many things to me that makes me the me I am right now...

I tell her about the marriage, the meeting with the El Ricci's and the meeting with Mateo. She gasps as I mention the contract.

"What do you think? Do I need to say yes?" I ask her, while I sit in my bed now.

"You should do it, I guess..."

"Bells...?"

"Just be careful, okay? They aren't just business man, there are The Mafia!"

"I know what I'm doing..." I sigh. "I want this... I want to know what happened to my parents and I want the one thing that they left me..."

"And that is...?"

"The company!"

"Right... you know what!" she says suddenly.

Oh god! If she says that, then she has a crazy idea...

"We should go there tonight!"

"What!? Are you serious!? I can't go there now!"

"Why not? C'mon, next week you are going to marry him and right now you need to live your life as a single woman and that means... PARTY!!!" she yells the last word and I put the phone a few inches from my ear. "Tonight, you come to me and we, Future Mrs. El Ricci, are going to party like it's or last day" and she hangs up.

What have I gotten myself into?

I stand before Bella's house.

It's smaller than ours but you can live perfectly in this house.

She lives in the poorer section of city but I don't care! She is still my friend and let us be honest... I don't really have money either.

Before I can knock on the door, the door opens and Bella is standing there, in her...

"ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR THAT!?"

"I am!" she says proudly. "Don't I look hot?"

I just stare at her.

She can really pull off a tight, pink dress. Her legs are longer and slimmer than mine. I have nice legs but not like hers. In comparison to her I'm a little fatter, but not too much... my body is just average, I guess... but I get a lot of complements about my ass though...

"Are your boobs going to stay there if you dance?" I ask sarcastically.

Her boobs are definitely a B or something... well, I'm a A...

She just laughs.

"Come inside, I have something for you too" and her smile is so evil that I'm scared what she got for me...

"I can't believe that you have convinced me to wear this" I say, looking down at myself.

I wear a tight, red dress. I never thought I would wear anything like this... it's something Bella wore at her graduation and all the teachers weren't exactly happy about it.

I laugh at the thought.

"You look hot! Mateo isn't going to know what he sees!" she says and we walk past the cars in the parking lot.

Right now we are going to the club, UNDERWORLD.

"I never been there before, you know" Bella says.

"Really?"

That's weird? She goes to every club in the city! Even in the rich parts. How she gets in, I have no idea, but it always works.

She crosses her arm over her chest.

"Are you cold?" I ask, worried. "I told you to take a jacket or something with you"

"No, I'm fine... just got a feeling someone is looking at me"

I raise an eyebrow.

"Look we are almost there!" and she jumps, looking more like herself...

That was weird, but I guess I don't have to worry...

We make our way inside and we immediately hear the music.

It's so loud in here!

We step a little further in the club and we are blinded by the lasers and the smoke.

"THIS IS FANTASTIC!" Bella yells in my ear and I nod. "Let's sit there!" she says, pointing at a table not so far where Mateo's office is.

I just need to go up the stairs and go left and then i will arrive in Mateo's office ... with his... fling probably...

The thought makes me sad but I push it away.

In a week he will be mine and he can't have sex with other girls...

"I will go to the bar! Wait here!" Bella says, cutting my thoughts, and she is gone.

I look around, amazed by the people who are having fun...

I wish I could let go like them, not caring about the world at all.

"Hey, Emily" I hear a voice behind me says.

I turn around, hoping its Mateo, but instate I find Ben... Stephanie's boyfriend or should I say ex...

"Hey, Ben. How're you doing?" I ask politely.

"Fine, I guess... Stephanie..."

"I know and I'm so sorry, you guys were lovely together" I say trying to make him feel happy.

But instead he looks down...sad.

I need to do something. Ben was my crush back in high school. We were lab partners... everything was fine until Stephanie came and took him from me... but then when they were together, they look happy... I never saw Stephanie so happy, so I just let it go...

But now seeing him sad I can't help but to hug him, because I got the feeling he needs it right now... he hugs me back and we stand there for a few seconds before Bella is back.

"Oh... I'm sorry, you can-"

"-No, eum... it doesn't matter, I need to go anyway... the asshole who stole Stephanie from me isn't here anywhere, so..."

"You mean Mateo?" I say, a little too fast.

Shit! Isn't he here?

I feel a little sad but push the feeling away.

I don't care where he is now. I will see him tomorrow anyway...

"Yeah, that asshole won't come out of his office"

Oh... so he is here...

"Did you want to fight him or anything?" Bella says, laughing, but Ben gives her the dead stare and she is silence.

"I need to go, Stephanie isn't worth it! If she wants a rich, dangerous guy then she suck his dick!" and Ben is gone.

Bella stares at me. "Wasn't that the doctor Stephanie dates?"

"Not anymore..." I say sadly.

I still can't believe she dumped him for Mateo... Ben is so much nicer and kinder than Mateo... Ben can make Stephanie so happy, really happy...

"Here!" Bella says. "Who first drink all the shots, win"

I look at her, raising an eyebrow. "And if you lose?"

"Then..." she looks around "You need to dance, and I mean grind yourself against one of the guys here" she says evilly.

OMG! NO!

I need to win this! Mateo is here... he will see it, but... we aren't married yet so I guess it doesn't really matter, right?

"One, two, three... GO!" she counts before I register what she is doing and she is like a train...

Before I can drink my seconds shot she is finished.

"I WIN!" she yells and a few of the other people cheer for her. "Now, my friend, find yourself a hot guy you can grind yourself on"

I can't believe I lost, but I guess that's normal for a girl who has only been to a club one time for her birthday...

I stand there, looking at all the guys... but I just can't find my perfect one...

Until I see a guy with blond hair.

He is kind of handsome... I can try to convince him to dance with me.

I walk to him, seductively, swinging my hips a little.

I can't believe I feel so bold and... sexy.

With the dress I'm wearing and the shots I've taken I feel alive...

"Hey, handsome" I say, putting my chest a little forward so my boobs look better.

He stares at my chest and grins.

"Hey, there... what is a beautiful, young lady doing here?"

Wow, what a cheesy sentence... but I can work with that.

"I'm here to find a handsome guy to dance with and I think you are the perfect fit"

His smirk is even wider "I can help you with that" and leads me to the dance floor.

We dance with the music, first it was normal, but after the third song and the drink Bella gave me it's a little bolder. I feel his hands on my hips, but I don't react.

I want to bold one time before I marry.

"You are so hot" he whispers and kisses me on my neck.

I let out a sigh, imagination Mateo right now. How he would touch me, kiss me...

I feel my inside clench as I think about how he would feel filling me... the way he will moan my name as I make him come for me...

The guy hands goes to my waist and almost to my boobs when he is on the ground.

I hear a few girls scream and Bella is by my side.

"Are you okay?" she asks, a little panicked.

I nod, not knowing what happened, and look behind me to find... Mateo!?

He is angry and that's not a good sign...

Something flickers in his eyes and his jaw tense as he looks at the blond guy and then to me.

"SHE IS MINE, ASSHOLE" he yells and everyone is silence.

The music is turned off and now there is a crowd around us.

The blond man stands up and looks at Mateo. "I FOUND HER FIRST SO I THINK YOU NEED TO FIND ANOTHER GIRL TO FUCK WITH" he yells and lunches at him, but Mateo quickly avoid his fist.

"Hey, Emily" a guy behind me whispers and I and Bella turn around.

"Celeb?" I say, don't knowing if it's really him.

Everything is a little blurry.

I think I had too many drinks.

"Come, follow me. Everything is going to be okay. Mateo can take him easily" he says before leading me and Bella to the VIP section.

"OMG! I've never been in a VIP section!" Bella yells and jumps a little.

Celeb just chuckles. "And who are you?" he ask while checking my friend out.

Oh, no! This is not happening!

I turn my gaze to him and point at him.

"You will leave Bella alone! Do you understand me"

He ignores me, looking at Bella who is giving him the 'Do you want to fuck?' eye.

"Bella, no! do you hear me? NO!"

She turns to me after a few seconds. "I know! No fucking with your family... I get it, don't worry" she says sadly.

Celeb gives me the 'WTF' stare but I ignore it.

I can't deal with them now. Mateo is downstairs, fighting a guy... and I know he is going to win, but I can't help but feeling a little scared...

"Don't worry, Emily... Mateo is going to be fine. It's not the first time he has fight a guy, you know" I turn and look at him, feeling sadder...

It's my fault he has pain, that he is fighting...

My head is buzzing but I ignore it.

I need keep standing strong! I don't want celeb to think I'm weak or something.

I turn around at the sound of the door opening.

"Celeb! Bring her away!" he says, looking at Bella.

Bella backs away a little but Celeb nods at him and brings her away from the room. She looks at me one more time, and nods, giving me strength.

Thank you Bella, I really appreciate your strength right now more than ever.

Mateo and I stand alone in the room. Before he says anything he backs me against the wall.

I let out a yelp as pain goes through my whole body. I look at him and see that the warm and kind Mateo is gone... replace with the cold one...

I try to look innocent but that doesn't help... his grip around my waist tighten and I try to push him away but his other hand grasps both my wrist, pinning them above my head.

"Mateo..." I whisper, feeling a little scared.

His grip on my waist just tightens more, and I feel tears in the back of my eyes.

Don't cry! Don't cry, Emily!

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING! DANCING WITH ANOTHER GUY IN FROND OF MY EYES!" he yells in my face and now I really can't help the tears.

He sighs and lets my waist go.

"YOU ARE MINE, EMILY! DO YOU HEAR ME!? MINE!"

I nod.

"Say it, Emily!"

"I'm... I'm yours" and he kisses me... hard...
