The pact of the three sisters tome III(Liaison with a billionaire)

SHIT!

The brakes squealed and gravel ricocheted under the chassis. The red tails of his pretty red BMW 4 Series Convertible sent a cloud of dust and pebbles flying, and he zigzagged to a stop.

She gripped the steering wheel firmly and tried to slam on the brakes as she skidded, her heart racing.

Maybe her life was about to end, here and now, while her sisters were waiting for her for the party hosted by Count Fernández, and she hadn't found anything better than "oh shit"?

When his car finally came to an abrupt stop, his heart was pounding so hard the sound was almost deafening in the sudden silence.

This terrifying ordeal had only lasted a few seconds at most, but she felt as if she had lost several years of her life.

Eyelids firmly closed, she opened one eye, half-expecting to find herself suspended above the void, seconds away from falling off the mountain on which she was rolling so fast.

But no, the four wheels were held together by a huge shoulder holding back the gravel, apparently created for bitches like her who didn't pay attention and took the last corner too quickly.

Anna grimaced and forced herself to relax her clenched fingers on the steering wheel, clenching and unclenching them before shutting off the engine with a shaking hand.

She closed her eyes again, glanced at the passenger seat and took a moment to lean back against the headrest and breathe.

She needed to calm down. She had to get her mind together before she got back on the road, otherwise she would really end up killing herself.

She could see the headlines: "Mr. Gomez's Last Daughter Kills Herself in Terrible Crash!"

When her heart returned to normal, she got out of the car, her legs stiff and shaking, put her hands on the hot, shiny red hood and lowered her head.

After a few seconds, she stood up, dusted off her denim shorts and surveyed her surroundings. She was on a long winding road up the mountain.

Dark green leaves quivered in a light breeze, cicadas sang in the trees, and a mist rose from the roadway.

The air was as heavy and humid as you'd expect in Texas in August, and she couldn't savor the tantalizing thought of melting by the side of the road, not with the family waiting for him in Mexico.

She got back in the car, started the engine again and turned on the air conditioning. The cool air blowing in his face helped clear his head.

She turned on the radio loudly, and drove on. She will leave behind her ranch, her horses, the lands of her grandparents that she now took care of, and set off for the great civilization.

She had no idea who she wanted to be, but she knew exactly who she didn't want to be.

She had started working in Orlando's company, it was great there, especially with Nina and Catrine, but she quickly got bored.

This was not the life she had wanted. Then she discovered a passion for horses and she immediately moved to the family ranch.

She stopped at a gas station to fill up and have a coffee. Since she hadn't been able to find a Starbucks close enough on her on-board navigation system, she'd have to settle for the one at the gas station.

At the pump, she shoved her card into the machine, after the card had passed, she retrieved it and then returned to her car while sipping her coffee.

As she filled up, she consulted one by one the messages that her sisters and her parents had sent.

"Hello sista, I just arrived at mom's house with the twins, we're all waiting for you and don't tell me you're still in Texas at this time"

Xoxo Cristela

Alas, if only Cris knew! She still had hours of driving ahead of her before she could cross the border!

" Hey chouquette, Qénân has finally decided to shake his ass and come to mom's for the party, phew! I hope to arrive before you. Kisses"

Xoxo Sefora

Qénân the overprotective husband of his sister! He is not Sheikh for nothing! Anna thought with a sigh.

" Anna my darling, you haven't arrived yet, don't tell me that a handsome guy has delayed you!" Xoxo mom♡

His mother was unbelievable! Anna thought with a smile as she read the message again. After the cacti and the gravel she didn't really see what could delay her.

The nozzle of the pump made a loud "click" at her side, startling her and snapping her out of her thoughts.

She put the pump back in place, closed its tank and climbed back behind the steering wheel, which she gripped with her sweaty hands and put her foot on the accelerator.

At least it was less than two days, and now she had already traveled a whole day, soon she will arrive at the border.

The sun was already setting when Anna pulled up in front of her parents' large building. She was tired from this long trip.

She got out of the car all exhausted to take her luggage when her mother ran up to her all smiles.

- Finally you are here my darling, said her mother.

- Good evening too Màmà. I'm fine thank you for asking, she replied wearily.

- Sorry sweetie, but I'm so busy right now that I'm losing my mind. I absolutely need you to help me...

- As I knew, she cut in with a sigh, but you don't even need to count on me, I'm super tired and I dream of a good ice cream.

She dragged her briefcase behind her, while her mother ran to find her.

- Please, my dear, she begged.

- Ok mom.

- You are going to help Cristela in the kitchen, while I am going to finish decorating the room with Sefora. Your father will be returning from his trip a little late.

Anna shuffled to Cristela in the kitchen, wondering when she could finally put her head on a good pillow.

Her brother-in-law was climbing down a ladder when he saw her.

- You have a dirty face, he told her, grimacing.

- Is it showing that much! She said in a gloomy tone.

Arturo scoffed a little before taking care of putting his briefcase in his room. As soon as she arrived in the kitchen, two little monsters landed on her.

- Aunt Anna! Shouted in concert the twins, who had just left their uncle Qenan's lap.

A few hours later...

Anna began to prepare for the evening. When she entered the room she occupied, fresh out of the shower, she found Cristela and Sefora both sitting on her bed whispering.

As soon as they noticed his presence, they fell silent. Anna gave them a sideways glance as she opened the wardrobe to pull out her dress.

- May I know what the two of you are up to?

Cristela suddenly became interested in the glittering bracelets adorning her wrist.

- We were just talking about you, Sefora told her, nudging Cris, which didn't go unnoticed by Anna, which made her frown and raise her eyebrows.

Dress in hand, Anna was appreciating the quality of the fabric imagining what jewelry would go best with the fiery red color she would be wearing tonight, when Sefora exclaimed.

- You remember our pact ritual, don't you?

- But still?

On the dressing table, Anna grabbed a brush and some pliers to be able to successfully manage her bun and the lock on the side.

- Well, I had my turn and Sefora too and it is high time that you...

- Stop you girls, Anna told them, putting down her earring. It's true that I love you very much, but it's completely out of the question that I let myself be drawn into this sort of thing.

- you didn't have the same speech when you forced me to agree to seduce a Sheikh. Sefora exclaimed, grumbling.

- And now you're a queen you realize. And thanks to me Cristela became a countess, so you should thank me.

Cristela got up from the bed and put an arm around her sister's shoulders and told her

- My little chip, listen to me carefully... you will respect the pact that me and Sefora have decided for you in the same way as you forced us to respect ours.

- But... Anna didn't even have time to finish her sentence when Sefora also put an arm around her shoulders.

Surrounded like this, Anna gulped trying to negotiate with her sisters.

- And this my darling, whether you like it or not, you will accept.

- hmm girls, look at me, Anna told them, do I look like a woman who can pretend to be someone else? No. Do I also have a daughter who can seduce a prince? No. She freed herself from their grip and faced them.

- So be nice and leave me alone with this pact story.

Her sisters finally freed themselves and Anna could breathe and de-stress. Phew!

I had a narrow escape, thank God!

She made up ignoring the presence of her sisters and put on her dress, she put on her heels and was about to leave the room when two thin bodies blocked her way.

- Step aside, Anna told them.

But neither Sefora nor Cristela moved an inch.

- You know what, it doesn't matter if you don't agree to listen to the pact, Sefora told him.

Anna gave him a huge smile.

- You are angels my loves.

- Only as a consequence we will tell mom and dad that you lost your virginity since you were eighteen with the guy from high school that they had forbidden you to see again. Said Cristela to him, making a grin.

Anna turned red with shame.

- But shut don't talk so loud, we can hear you.

- So sister it's up to you, concludes Sefora by opening the door to go out.

Quick as lightning, Anna stopped her in extremis before she could leave the room.

- well what is your pact? Sefora closed the door and smiled.

- Well, it's very simple...

Anna feared the worst though.

- You are going to kiss in the evening the first man who asks you to give him a dance, that's it and that's it. You don't see anything too complicated.

Anna opened her mouth in surprise.

- Kiss the first man, and if it's a bald old man who asks me to dance? Have you at least thought of that!? She exclaimed outraged.

- Who cares, bald old man or handsome, you're going to kiss whoever comes first, Cristela told him mischievously with a witch's laugh.

Anna grumbled for a long time, but was forced to agree to respect this pact, better than letting her parents know at what age she had lost her virginity and especially with whom she had lost it!

- It's OK. After all, I'm only going to kiss her right?

Sefora and Cristela clapped their hands and smiled like two accomplices, while Anna herself prayed that there were only handsome man at this masked party.
