IVANA'S FAKE MARRIAGE
IVANA AND JOSE

"Taking my time talking to Jose" said Ivana upon entering the hacienda.

Only a few minutes later, Lizzy entered with Hector seemed to be in a hurry.

"Where are you two? Why is it like being chased by demons?"

"Miss, there are two people who made an offer to buy Nasviell. Obviously I rejected it immediately when they insisted on meeting you" Lizzy said.

"Hector immediately investigated both. Those two people aren't from around Jalisco".

"During my stay here I have never seen or heard their names" Hector said confidently.

Ivana digested the foreman's words. "From tonight we have to step up security. Looks like someone's trying to take my plantation. I won't let it" exclaimed Ivana with both hands clenched.

"I want you and your men to take turns keeping watch on Hector. If you need to add security people. Especially on the back, a crime-prone area directly adjacent to Almiron".

"All right, Miss Ivana. Me and the others will carry out your orders as best they can", replied Hector.

"Now go, finish the work I command. Do not let a single stranger approach the Nasviell plantation" Ivana said firmly.

"Well miss, then excuse me", replied Hector slightly lowering his head in salute.

"Who are those people actually. Suddenly came to buy Nasviell", Ivana's mind with a thoughtful and conjecture of its own.

Geck...

The knock on the door sounded very pushy, stomping Ivana who was sound asleep.

"Who dares to disturb me these nights?", muttered Ivana in an annoyed tone.

Geck...

"What's mau–"

"I'm sorry Miss Ivana woke you up, there have been incidents on the Nasviell border and the Oricon plantation. One guard was slaughtered while the other was seriously injured. Hector and the others were already there looking at what was really going on" Lizzy said in a trembling voice.

"What?!".

Ivana immediately took the thick coat and tied the rope covering the shirt and traning she wore while sleeping. "We're going there now, Liz. What's going on really".

"No miss. Miss better stay inside the house. You'll be safe here, tomorrow morning only miss looking over there. Hector will tell you what happened. It could be that the culprit is still hiding around Nasviell and waiting for you to come out. As they see fit" Lizzy said, holding Ivana ready to go outside the hacienda.

Could they be Jose's man? The guy's getting weird. He asked me to get married on the grounds that he could protect Nasviell. After I rejected her crazy idea, look what's going on right now. There is something terrible like this" said Ivana bergebu and immediately mentioned clearly the name of Jose.

Lizzy shook her head. "It's unlikely that Mr. Jose did it, miss. It could be that Mr. Jose is telling the truth, he just wants to protect you and Nasviell. Don't forget, mister Jose knows better than us what kind of place this is" Lizzy replied alerting her boss.

"Yes said Marco decided to settle in Jalisco and was looking for plantations in this area. Jose said Marco was after my plantation. Do you think it makes sense, Marco did that? What is the use of Nasviell for men like Marco–"

"Of course to hurt you. Made the lady worse in ruin. Destroy the feelings and careers you have built over the years. That means it can affect your work" Lizzy replied quickly.

Ivana's speechless. Lizzy's words really hit her heart.

Next minute...

"We can prove who is right. If you're wrong, get ready to lose your job. I'm not messing around this time", exclaimed Ivana back into her room.

Upon arrival in Iv's room sat on the edge of the bed. Thinks. Lizzy's words were ringing in her ears.

"I'll prove it. Isn't it to get accurate evidence of a problem, we have to get into the problem ourselves?"

Early in the morning, Ivana drove back to Almiron to meet Jose.

According to Hector's report, one of his men was killed, while the other was seriously injured.

Security in Nasviell is still minimal, so every place is only for two or three security people.

Ivana decides to follow Hector's advice not to involve the police in Nasviell's case, especially if the worker lives alone.

While injured workers, remain in care at the estate. According to the worker there are about six-seven people who use all-black face coverings suddenly emerged from the bush that is not yet trashed. They were both attacked blindly using sharp and blunt objects.

Ivana parked her car carelessly, it was seen that the girl was in a hurry.

Ivana saw Hilda, the middle-aged woman who yesterday was very kind to her.

Upon seeing the arrival of Ivana Hilda stopped her work carrying baskets of tomatoes and lemon from plantations planted around the hacienda.

"Miss Ivana?"

"Can I see your employer now, Hilda?"

"But in the early morning, you won't find a young master in the hacienda. Meet in the fields. He was running in the morning. It has become her habit every morning" Hilda replied with a warm smile.

Ivana replied with a smile. "good. Is there someone who can take me there?"

"of course".

The waiter called one of the workers and told him to take Ivana to meet their boss in the field.

Upon arriving at the destination, Ivana's bright brown hazel never once blinked gazing at Almiron's plantation fields. The green agave expanse is many times larger than Nasviell.

Early in the morning, the farmers started working. In between it was a man who was running in the middle of the field. Wearing a hat and shirt with no sleeves. The handsome face with the athletic body of the one hundred and eighty-eight centimeter range was so perfect.

Ivana repeatedly swallowed her saliva. "He's perfect, but he's very cunning. Not wrong again, this man is dangerous from anyone", Ivana's mind while narrowing her eyes.

Jose is closing in on her.

With a roaring breath, Jose stared at Ivana.

"Why are you here? Who allowed you to be here?", looked at Jose with a sharp look.

"Hilda", replied Ivana briefly. "We are quickly familiar" he said again with a million meanings.

Hearing that, Jose's hand spontaneously pulled Ivana's waist firmly, cringing the girl's body onto her body drenched in sweat.

Ivana did not expect. With round eyes and open mouth he seemed to challenge Jose. "What are you doing?"

"Don't play games with me, Ivana or you'll feel the consequences" Jose said.

"I accepted your offer. We're married!"

Jose relaxed his embrace and stared intently at the girl's face.

"I'm willing to marry you, but on certain terms".

"Hahhaa.you're wrong if you decide, miss. I'm not interested in you at all. I am the one who determines everything. I just wanted to repay my debt to Leonel a few years ago, so I wanted to save his estate".

"Nothing else's". Firmly Jose cynically while showing gesture not interested at all with other things.

"Goodle. That'd be better. Same with you, I don't expect anything from marriage either. Because I'm numb to what's called marriage. But I'm demanding your appointment, making me and Nasviell safe around you.."
