I was in my room studying. I failed to notice that mom spend a great deal of time cleaning the house and making everything look polished, slowly I began putting two and two together. Before I had a chance to snap out of it .

properly, the gentleman and my parents fell to an agreement. They married me off without even asking me. I tried to protest but to no avail. Mom only told me:.
"We broke our backs trying to keep you beautiful and this is the way you repay us? This gentleman will take you out of this place. Why do you think I spent every bit of money we had on you? So you can marry a country boy from around here? Cherish the gift you have, your beauty, because one day it will fade and then what will you do? Now behave nicely with Lord Mitica. He will make you a Lady.".
So that is how I ended up being a "Lady" against my will. Lord Mitica was a very good man, who would have given me the moon from the sky if I asked for it, but how could I love a man thirty-five years older than me? On the wedding night I kept crying and crying. Lord Mitica turned out to really be a gentleman. He waited until the bedroom didn't impose such a threat to me and I surrendered to it. I had a maid, a driver, a hair-stylist and basically whatever I would need at my disposition. Bucharest didn't know of war then, peace reigned, and there were balls or other kinds of lavish events to which Lord Mitica, much like my own mother, took me in order to show me off. Lord Mitica bought me numerous clothes and jewels that only gave my beauty what it was lacking before, elegance and class. Whenever I walked into a room it got silent. The mid-wife's prophesy came true: "She is going to be so beautiful as to leave men breathless.".
Much like my parents, Lord Mitica looked more at my exterior not really caring what was going on in my head but after begging him weeks on end he got me tutors. In that way I ended up being eighteen years old studying French and English, a little bit of piano and drawing.
