The preparations for the wedding began. Sonia’s mother and father embarked for London as soon as they received the news. The banns began to run in the newspaper and the race to make the wedding dress, the flower arrangements for the bridal breakfast, the food and drink for that day and everything else began.

Sonia was a little nervous and because of everything that needed to be done she didn’t have time to meet with Robert often. They would walk around the park from time to time, send letters or flowers. Sonia needed him, his caresses, his kisses and she couldn’t do anything about it because her mother did not leave her alone for a minute. Not to mention her father, who barely talked to her since he’d arrived. He maintained a cordial attitude, but he didn’t seem very excited about the marriage. In fact, he didn’t talk about the subject if she did not put it before him. Sonia asked her mother, but she just shook her head and told her that her father was not a man that showed affection or emotion but in his eyes, Sonia could see that he was hiding something.

One afternoon Robert took her to his house to meet his father. Upon entering the beautiful mansion they were astonished at the huge and elegant construction. The grand entrance led to a hall and from there to a staircase that led up to a beautiful room where they were invited to sit and wait for Robert’s father who never arrived. Robert looked somewhat embarrassed but most of all annoyed.

“He does not leave the house much and today the servants told me that he was feeling unwell.”

“Father, please!” exclaimed Sonia, annoyed.

“His future daughter-in-law comes to visit him and he insults her by not coming down, even if it’s for a moment,” insisted Sonia's father.

“Mr. Hearst is right and I apologize in my father’s name. I want to be very clear that even though he is the duke, I will not allow him to have that behavior towards my wife.”

Sonia’s father seemed calmer on hearing his words and nothing was mentioned again. The four of them took tea and went to see the house’s beautiful garden. Then they left and Robert took the opportunity to visit his father’s room. He knocked on the door and when nobody opened it, he then looked for the key and opened it on his own. His father was in bed and was startled. “By God, Robert. Is that any way to enter my bedroom?”

“It’s the only way when you do not open the door.”

“I said I had a headache.”

“You have embarrassed me in front of my future wife and her family.”

“You know I do not agree with a marriage between a son of mine and that American bitch who is only marrying you for your title.”

“And I for her money!” Robert shouted.

“I know. That is the only reason that I let you
