I'm Nergis, a 28-year-old girl who graduated as a teacher, but I haven't been able to practice it yet. I'm the second of three sisters, Lucy the oldest and Dani the youngest. We live with our mother and we also have a small restaurant in the city center where we help Mom daily.

My mother has been insisting for days that it's time for me to give myself the opportunity to be with someone again, and not only that, but to get married and formalize a family. The truth is, I don't want to have a relationship. My last relationship left me traumatized, and Mom's experience with my father doesn't help much. I'd like to practice my profession for the moment, maybe later if I meet someone and my thinking changes, it would be different.

I get ready to go down for breakfast with my sisters and my mother like every day, then we would go to the restaurant to work.

Today I put on dark jeans with a long-sleeved blouse that showed my shoulders, since the day had dawned a bit cold. I paired it with white booties and ironed my hair to make it straighter. I did very soft makeup, I didn't like to exaggerate. I go down for breakfast and see my sisters already gathered setting the table.

"Good morning," I say smiling, to which they respond with a mocking smile.

"Good morning, my dear, how did you wake up?" says Mom.

"Good, Mom, thank you," I say giving her a short kiss on her forehead.

"Sit down, honey, I'm almost done serving."

I help finish setting the table and notice how Dani and Lucy look at me and smile at each other. I didn't know what bug had bitten them this time, but I refrained from asking what was going on. I already knew them, when they put their minds to it, they seem like little girls playing pranks. We sit down to have breakfast when my mother brings up the subject of having a partner and formalizing a home again. I was about to go crazy, but I had to be respectful.

"Mom, I've already told you that I don't want to have a partner, I want to practice my profession."

"And what are you going to do, Nergis, while you get a job? Stay in the restaurant all day getting greasy, honey, you are very pretty."

"Thank you very much, Mom, but you can help Lucy."

"Oh no, sister, don't drag me into your things," says Lucy.

"Well, here you go, Nergis," she says, extending an envelope for you to go to the hairdresser and get a little fixed up. Today you have to go to an important date..."

"What do you mean, Mom?"

"Well, you'll have a date with Mrs. Betty's son, she already talked to him, he's a doctor and a good guy, it's your chance."

"No chance, Mom, how dare you, I'm not going on a date with someone I don't even know."

"That's why, my love, the date is for you to start getting to know each other."

I couldn't believe what my mom was telling me and I was already starting to get angry feeling how my sisters were laughing at each other.

"Nergis, there's nothing more to say, today at 7 you will show up at the Beach House restaurant and I don't want excuses, ask your sisters for help to get a little fixed up today, don't go to the restaurant, I can handle it myself."

She gets up from the table and I see her leaving the dining room.

"And now what am I going to do?" I say looking at my sisters.

"Relax, Nergis, go to the date, get the idea out of Mom's head, who knows, you might get along with the guy and things work out, or you just become friends. Now if you see that nothing comes of it, then make that date a disaster and that's it..."

"Are you crazy, Lucy?"

"Well, it's the only solution, you'll have to go anyway," says Dani.

I hated to agree with them, but it was true, they were absolutely right at this moment.

We finished breakfast, and they dragged me like a small child to go to the hairdresser where they made waves in my hair and simple makeup. I couldn't help it, I looked beautiful. Then we went to buy a dress, I don't know why I couldn't wear one of the ones I already had at home, they chose a very beautiful royal blue one, tight to my body and flared with a very sexy and subtle neckline on its back.

We arrived home and I was totally ready to go to the famous date. I looked in the mirror and I liked what I saw but my face reflected sadness, I didn't want to go to that fabulous date.

"Nergis," they knock on the door and I can tell it's my mother.

"Yes, Mom?"

"The taxi is already at the door."

"Give me a moment, I'm coming down."

Well, it was time, I take a deep breath and get ready to go down since they were waiting for me.

My name is Nicolas Hidalgo, I am 30 years old and one of the heirs of Hidalgo companies, a highly prestigious construction company in NY.

My family and I are currently going through a great loss. My grandfather, one of my main mentors, my greatest role model, passed away a week ago and today my grandmother has summoned us to read the testament and his last will. They have asked that we all be present, which means my uncles along with my cousin, who I really can't stand. Camilo is the typical person who has never done anything with his life, his mother has always spoiled him and he has had everything handed to him on a silver platter. He is supposed to work at the company just like me, but it's no secret that his secretaries do his job and he pays them extra for it.

My parents will also go and I currently hold the presidency of the company, but I must also attend the meeting, it was my grandfather's wish.

I arrive home and realize that everyone was already gathered, only I was missing.

"Dear cousin, welcome, you're always acting important and making us wait," there was Camilo again with his inappropriate comments.

"Good evening, my family, I apologize because I had a lot of work at the company," I say, focusing on the word "work" and kissing my grandmother.

"Don't worry, dear, sit down, let's begin," says my grandmother.

We all take a seat except for her, who tells one of her bodyguards to play a video.

"Dear family, by the time you are watching this video, a month will have passed since my departure. I hope you are not sad. From heaven, I continue to take care of my family. Remember that we are Hidalgos and we must behave as such."

It was my grandfather in the video, it made me very nostalgic to see him.

"******* Video continues *******"

"This video is for the purpose of letting you know my last will. As you all know, I will bequeath the company to you, but the majority of the shares and the presidency will be given to one of my grandchildren. For that, he must meet certain parameters.

A hardworking person

Loyal

3? Respectful and capable of resolving conflicts

And most importantly, to be able to reach the power, he must be married and give my wife and me our first great-grandson or great-granddaughter. Thank you all, I hope you work hard and take care of each other."

The video has ended and we have all remained silent. We did not expect my grandfather to ask for such a thing for the heir. I always thought that I was the person he would put in charge, but now he had added something else, something that I did not quite agree with. I can see my aunt Karina, Camilo's mother, surprised, she didn't expect it either. She and Camilo hope to have all the power. My uncle, my father's brother, is so different, he was not worried about the money, but his wife and son were two hawks.

"Well, I'll see you later, I have a meeting," I say to leave the room. I need to think about what my grandfather said. I was not going to allow my cousin to destroy what the family took years to build in just days, but, on the other hand, I didn't want to get married.

"Okay, son, see you later, keep in mind what my dear said," says my grandmother.

I say goodbye to everyone and leave. I tell Samet, my driver and best friend, to take me to a bar nearby. I need to have something strong. On the way, I tell him what happens.

"Sir, I think it's time to settle down and get a wife."

"Samet, you know what I think about that after..."

I pause, thinking.

"I don't want to have relationships. You know that the women I've been with are just for the night, nothing more."

"I understand, sir."

Samet takes me to a nearby bar and I invite him to join me. I offer him a drink, to which he only receives a juice, since he was driving. I did order a bottle of whiskey...

After several drinks, a blonde arrives and approaches me, flirts with me and quickly invites me to leave with her.

"You see, Samet, this is what I mean by enjoying life. Learn, Samet, you have the rest of the night free, see you tomorrow," I say and leave with the girl.

I have no idea how I got home. I wake up very early, take a shower, and go for a run before going to work. I drank a lot last night, I needed to clear my head. The truth is I didn't know what to do, I didn't even have in my thoughts to have a girlfriend. I had decided a long time ago to close that door in my life, besides I hadn't been doing badly as I was until now.

President of the company, handsome, young, and I could be with any woman I wanted, as long as it was with my rules.

We could only be together one night and I couldn't repeat with any -that lent itself to misunderstandings-

No kisses, only one-night stand sex

No waking up together

No giving phone numbers

No relationships, No children

Now, in order to continue being president of the company and continue managing my grandfather's legacy, I had to have a wife and a child.

I was already exhausted from thinking so much, I decide to return home. At the door I find Samet.

"Good morning Samet, how are you?"

"I'm sleepless"

"And why is that?"

"Seriously, you don't remember? Mr. Nicolas, why do you tell me that you give me the rest of the night off if you always end up calling me again to pick you up and I always have to deal with you"

"puff I'm sorry Samet I don't remember anything I promise it won't happen again and if I don't call you who else can I call we can't put on a show besides remember that we are the HIDALGOs"

"Yes, whatever you say Mr. Nicolas, of course you were overdoing it with the drinks yesterday"

"I don't know Samet, I don't usually drink to forget what happened, but yesterday I must have had a bad drink, anyway I'm going to change, see you in a little while to go to the company"

I enter the house and find my father and mother having a little discussion in the living room.

"Good morning, what's going on? Why are you arguing so early?"

"Son, I have something to tell you, my mother says"

"Yes, Mom, I'm listening"I see Dad get tense-

"Son, according to what happened last night with your grandfather and the inheritance, well, you know, it's time you formalized a relationship."

Mom, about that...

She doesn't let me speak and interrupts me

"Son, you can't say no, we're not going to leave the company to Camilo and his mother. You know that in their hands it wouldn't last even a week and all the work you've done all these years with your grandfather will not have been worth it"

"I understand mother, but where am I going to get someone"

"Don't worry, today you have a date at 7 at Beach house the restaurant"

"A date with whom?"

"Do you remember Aspen"

"Aspen? I try to think"

Mom, don't tell me it's Aspen, the chubby girl who studied in elementary school with me

"That's right son"

"Mom, I don't plan to have a date with her"

"Son, but she has changed, she has gone on diets, she is very pretty, you just have to go, you have nothing to lose"

"Mom, I don't know, I'll be busy today"

I leave them in the living room and go upstairs to change, I leave quickly for the office, my mom is crazy to prepare me a date without my consent and to top it off with Aspen, it had been a while since I knew about her, she was the chubby girl in the classroom and all I know is that she was always in love with me.

Time in the office passes very quickly, I like being here, I occupy my mind and that's how I get distracted.

"Can I come in?"

I heard on the other side of the door and it was obvious that it was my cousin Camilo.

"Come in"

"Dear cousin how are you"

"What do you need Camilo"

"Wow we are in a bad mood today"

"What do you need I repeat"

"I was just passing by to say hello tell me cousin what have you thought about the inheritance I imagine you are going to make your girlfriend official"

"I don't have a girlfriend Camilo and I haven't thought anything about the subject either"

"Too bad I'll tell my mother to have a meeting to introduce my girlfriend"

"Do you have a girlfriend? I tell him"

"Yes, only I can't disclose everything"

He leaves the office with a huge smile, I didn't know whether to believe him but if it was true...

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Camilo:

I was passing by my cousin's office I could bear to see him there that should belong to me, the grandfather put him there because he went after his skirts in recent years according to him learning all he did was manipulate my grandfather.

I can't pass by here without embittering his existence so I decide to enter, I tell him that I will have a meeting to introduce my girlfriend and I see how he tenses when leaving the office I can notice how thoughtful he has been he is afraid of losing power but for that we are my mother and I the presidency will be ours. Now I will go to the club I have to get a girlfriend and on the other hand I didn't like being here I don't see the point in working.

Ring Ring

My cell phone rings

"Yes?"

"son I have news for you"

"tell me mother"

"Nicolas will have a date at Beach house today at 7 you must go and ruin everything we can't let him have a partner."

"I can't believe it, don't worry mom my cousin will have an excellent evening."
