Until the last breath

section 8

After several minutes of silence, a loud slap was heard

- Out! - the girl pointed her finger at the door!

- Don't be angry, beauty, you don't like anger!

Faure left the room, not understanding what had just happened, the girl barely took off her dress and put on the clothes lying on the bed.

A simple white shirt and black jeans are not the best clothes to sleep in, but Ira wasn't going to sleep. Looking at the wedding ring on her finger, the girl sat by the window until morning! The candles burned down and went out, and the rose leaves continued to lie on the floor. The girl let her hair down, taking away the hairpins and jewelry, glancing at the dress lying on the bed, Ira left the room! Going down the stairs, the girl saw that Faure was sleeping on the couch, curled up. There were several empty pans on the stove, and when I opened the refrigerator door, there was nothing but a few tomatoes and cucumbers! Taking bread from the bread box, Ira started making sandwiches, there was nothing else in the house, not even tea. After a few minutes, the girl was putting the last piece of tomato on the bread, when she felt hot hands on her waist.

- What are you doing, Winston?! - asked the girl, not taking his eyes off his work!

- Nothing, I'm watching my wife cook for herself!

- I am your wife only in the presence of someone, firstly, and secondly, I could buy something to eat at home, otherwise you can die! - the girl bit a piece of bread!

- Have breakfast and I'll take you home! I still have to go on business - the man looked at his watch

- I forgot that now I will live with you! I honestly don't know how it will be, I will have to survive!

- Mine accepted you, you saw that everyone loved you as a family member!

- Everyone except Kaylee - said the girl, looking into Fau's eyes!

- Don't make it up, she's just not used to someone getting more attention than her! Everything will be fine, you will make friends!

Casting one last look at her husband, the girl put on a jacket, put on shoes and sat down to wait for Faure! When he got down, the man didn't say anything, he just waved his head for the girl to leave!

- How far do we have to go! - the girl has arrived with a seat belt!

- Fourty minutes! - dryly answered Faure!

Without continuing the conversation, they drove in silence, only the radio was playing in the background! The gate opened and Fora's car drove into the garage, upon exiting the girl was met again by a familiar atmosphere, the atmosphere of a family! Going down the stairs, the door opened and Ira was greeted by a smiling girl aged 18-23

- Good afternoon, ladies, come in!

Then the girl turned her gaze to Faure!

- Mr. Faure! - said the girl in a friendly manner!

- Children, you have already arrived, how are you?! - Margaret smiled kindly

- Hello, mother, I brought Ira, please show her our room! - the man turned to leave!

- Son, why won't you stay?!

- No, mother, business! See you in the evening! - Margaret and Ira watched the silhouette of Faure disappearing behind the door!

The woman turned her gaze to the girl, her smile was no longer as sunny as a few minutes ago!

- Come on, I'll take you to your room, don't pay attention to him, he's still used to married life - Margaret took the girl by the hand and led her upstairs!

The door opened, and the first thing that caught the girl's eyes was a large window with access to the terrace!

- Your things have been here for a long time, the girls have hung up their clothes, you just need to lay out your perfume and various women's things! - Margaret's smile graced her face again!

- Thank you! - smiling, Ira lowered her eyes!

The woman approached the girl and raised her face with her hand!

- Don't you dare lower your eyes, not in front of anyone! You are the daughter-in-law of the Winstons, don't forget that. Always keep your head high, even in defeat! Do you hear my daughter?!

Margaret's words struck the girl, at first she didn't even know what words to choose for the right thanks!

- Yes, I understood! - the girl's smile was genuine

- And do not pay attention to Faure, he will often be late at work, but I think that if you ask, he will obey you! - throwing one last look at the girl, Margaret left the room!

Ira began to take a closer look at the room, it was quite large, there was also a bathroom, a large bed, a sofa by the window, a dressing table with a mirror, a large TV that Ira had never seen before!

The wardrobe was built into the wall, so it didn't take up much space, when I opened it, the girl's clothes were folded perfectly, this made Ira smile! A few hours of the girl's new life passed, during this time she did not leave the room, it is difficult to adapt in a new house, so she just started waiting for her husband! Lying on the bed, the girl was taken out of her thoughts by a knock on the door!

- Come in! - the girl got up from the bed!

A girl entered the room, seeing her face Ira tensed up, it was Kaylee!

The girl stood in the doorway, waiting for Aira's permission to come in!

- Come in, don't stand! - said the girl!

- You don't leave the room, if Mama Margaret hadn't said you were there, I wouldn't have known! - after passing, Kaylee sat down on the couch, crossing her legs!

- I feel bad, moving, new walls, people, I'm not used to it yet!

- I understand, when I came here as a daughter-in-law, I also felt like that, and that was ten years ago! - Kaylee kept her sly gaze on the girl.

Although her words sounded friendly, she could still feel the trick!

- Understood! - Ira did not know what to answer, so her answer was quite dry!

- I won't disturb you, rest soon dinner! - Kaylee took one last look at the girl and left!

It was already dark outside, a cold autumn evening, a beautiful view of the sea and Ira, only they were alone, and no one else! Standing in the cold is not a good idea, but the girl did not feel the cold, because her heart was icy. It wasn't always like that, only when she signed papers about a fictitious marriage! •

- Madam, I apologize, you are expected for dinner! - the same girl who met Ira and For in the morning entered the room!

- I'll get off now! - said Ira without turning to the girl!

The girl left the room, sitting for a few more minutes, Ira closed the door to the terrace and left the room! She knew where dinner was held, as well as breakfast, a separate room was specially allocated for this, which was connected to the kitchen.

- Ira, you haven't left your room all day today, are you sick or has something happened?! - David looked at the girl!

- No, all is good. Just a new home, I'm not used to it!

- I understand baby, I understand. - the man shook his head in understanding!

- You can set the table! - said Margaret!

- Mom, what about Faure?! He won't come?!

- Of course, he will come, but later. You have dinner, less questions! - answered the woman!

Dinner passed in silence, no one uttered a word, Faure had not yet arrived!

In addition to the husband, Ray and Gina were not at the dinner!

After thanking everyone for dinner, Ira went up to the room, the girl wanted to go in, but a familiar voice called her back!

- Ira, stop!

The girl turned at the sound and saw Gina in front of her!

- Gina, glad to see you!

- I like you too, I wanted to meet you at dinner, but it didn't work out! - the girl's smile was sincere!

- Come to me, let's talk. To be honest, I have no one to talk to here except you!

Gina laughed, her laughter echoed through the house!

- And Faure?!

- He's at work, that's why you come in!

- OK, I'll go now! See you tomorrow, go to the garden, I often work there!

Smiling at each other, Ira entered the room! Sitting down on the sofa, the girl began to wait for Faure.

After a few minutes, steps were heard in the direction of the room, and now the door opens!

The man came in and turned on the light, noticing the girl he did not express any emotions!

- Why didn't you come to dinner?? - asked the girl in a calm tone!

- There is a lot of work! So what?! - the man's answers were quite dry!

- And what?! I sat here all day alone, I also ate dinner alone. Our marriage is fictitious, so if you want everyone to believe that it is real, behave normally! - the girl got up from the couch!
