One Year to Part: Passion and Deception
Chapter 4

Chapter 4:.

Sara wished the earth would swallow her up at that moment, she didn’t have the face to show her face in the classroom again and confront her classmates. How could she face them after such an article.

Although her classmates were the least of her worries, the thought of the elder Moretti replaceing out about this news was getting on her nerves, not only because of the money she would have to pay, but because it pained her to let the elder man down.

Rafael Moretti had been the man who had helped her in the most difficult moment of her life, for 3 years he had cared for her and protected her like a father and although he had made her marry his grandson, whom she did not know, he had been a good man and Sara held him in great esteem, so it hurt to let him down.

After analyzing the situation for a few minutes, Sara came to a conclusion.

“I must get a divorce” she said out loud and Emily just stared at her “I must do it before my father-in-law or husband replaces out what happened today.”

“You think your husband will give you an easy divorce.”

“He never wanted to get married, his grandfather made him, so I don’t think he will put up any resistance, on the contrary, I think the news will make him happy. Who might object is my father-in-law, I just have to convince him.”

With this in mind Sara took out her cell phone and sent a message.

Grandfather I would like to have lunch with you today. If you have time, let me know so I can come visit you.

The response wasn’t long in coming.

Of course I have time for my granddaughter, come to my house I’ll wait for you for lunch, I’ll tell Anastasia to prepare your favorite meal.

Sara turned off her phone, put it on charge and went to take a bath, when she took off her clothes she saw that her skin was covered with small bruises. Sara was a virgin but she knew perfectly well what those bruises meant, they were clear evidence of her mistake.

She cursed the bastard who caused her problems and finished bathing and put on a pair of baggy jeans and a pullover with a high collar and sleeves, fortunately the weather was ideal for her outfit, it was cold so it wouldn’t be strange if she was well protected and wore long clothes.

She asked Emily to wish her luck and went to meet the elder Moretti.

At the Moretti Group headquarters, Hugo was in a terrible mood and his employees were afraid to go near him, only poor Alejandro could not run away from him and was forced to be the direct contact with a volcano about to boil.

“Sir” spoke Alejandro after knocking on the door and waiting to be allowed to enter” we have already taken measures against Mr. Felipe’s company, we have blocked all his projects in the city and others abroad, we warn other companies that whoever dares to collaborate with them will face us directly, the price of his shares is plummeting, at this rate he will end up in a broken roof by tonight.

A Machiavellian smile adorned Hugo’s beautiful face and Alejandro felt a shiver run through his skin, he knew how much Hugo enjoyed defeating those who dared to confront him, evidently Felipe was very stupid for messing with Hugo.

“Sir we found the girl too.”

A complex emotion passed over Hugo’s face, but it was so fleeting that it was impossible to figure out what he was feeling.

“Speak up,” he ordered.

“The truth couldn’t replace out much about her, apparently someone powerful is protecting her. It is only known that her name is Sara de Santis, she studies business management and is the most outstanding student of her year.”

“What about her husband?”

“There is nothing sir, no record of her marriage, nor anything ever seen her with any man except the youngest son of the Bianchi Family, apparently they are close friends.”

“All right, you can go.”

Alejandro obeyed and Hugo was left deep in thought, he saw no reason why the girl should lie to him, but neither was there any information about the supposed husband and most importantly he was sure she had been a virgin.

At the house of the Moretti family, Sara had just arrived and when she got out of the cab a servant reached her with an umbrella because it had begun to snow and accompanied her until she was protected from the bad weather.

“Thank you very much.”

“You are welcome, Miss Sara.”

Sara entered the mansion and went straight to the study where she knew she would replace Rafael.

“I’m home grandfather,” Sara greeted as she gave Rafael a kiss on the cheek.

“Welcome daughter,” he replied.

“What brings you here.”

“Do you mind if I visit you?” she joked, feigning indignation.

“Of course not, you just don’t do it often, unless something happens.”

“Let’s have dinner primor, then we’ll talk.”

The old man agreed and didn’t ask anything more about it, dinner was Sara’s favorite lasagna, so she ate plenty and eagerly. Once finished they went back to the studio.

Before the old man had a chance to ask Sara spoke.

“I want a divorce.” Rafael knew this day would come sooner or later, he had pushed her into a marriage she did not want in the hope of leaving a good wife for his grandson and that she could give him an heir soon.

But to her misfortune her grandson had not even shown up for the wedding, he just signed the papers and sent them off. But he still hopes they had a chance to get to know each other and their marriage would work out, so he couldn’t agree to give Sara a divorce.

“Why, what has changed that you want a divorce?” Sara didn’t know how to answer that question and was silent in thought. She couldn’t tell him the truth about why she wanted a divorce, so she had to think of something.

“I’m tired of waiting for his grandson, it’s been years since our marriage and he hasn’t shown me his face once, I’m young, I want to enjoy my life and I can’t do that if I’m tied to a man who doesn’t care about me.”

Rafael said nothing, he was silent for a few minutes and Sara was praying that he would believe her excuse. After some time in silence Rafael spoke.

“Ok, I will give you a divorce” Sara breathed and thanked God for helping her “but, after a year, I want you to know my grandson for a year and if after that time you still want a divorce I will allow it without objections”.

Sara wanted to protest and complain, but the old man would not let her.

“There is no discussion if you want to get divorced come back in a year and don’t worry, these days when my grandson returns to the country he will come to visit you so you can spend time together and get to know each other”.

Sara did not argue or protest, she accepted what Rafael said because she knew there was nothing she could do about it. She left the Moretti’s house and went straight to the University.

After Sara left, Rafael called his butler.

“Find out what happened with Sara these days and call my grandson and tell him to come back to the country, I need to see him as soon as possible,” ordered Rafael thoughtfully, he had to put a plan in place to unite those two if he wanted to have descendants or his grandson would spend his life going from woman to woman without settling down.
