Alberta pensó mucho en cómo responder a la última carta de Dominique. ¿Cómo podría dejar a Pierre? No fue posible. Pero Dominique fue persistente. No podía sacarla de su mente. Ella era todo en lo que él pensaba día y noche. Estaba obsesionado.

Alberta estaba en Hong Kong con Pierre realizando negocios para el negocio de importación y exportación de Pierre. Estaban muy lejos de París y llevaban varios meses viajando por Asia. Dominique escribía todos los días. Era coronel del ejército francés estacionado en las afueras de París. Era muy guapo y en uniforme parecía muy audaz y poderoso. Alberta se sintió atraída por él después de que se conocieron en la boda de su sobrina hace tres años. Dominique era amiga del novio.

La vida de Alberta con Pierre fue difícil. Bebía bastante y tenía relaciones extramatrimoniales dejando sola a Alberta la mayor parte del tiempo. No tuvieron hijos. No hubo intimidad en el matrimonio. Fue un matrimonio de conveniencia. El matrimonio de Alberta con Pierre había sido arreglado por su padre y sus hermanos y ella había llegado con una gran dote. Algo que Pierre simplemente no podía rechazar. Fue un matrimonio solitario y sin amor para Alberta

Y luego estaba Dominique. Se sintió viva de nuevo. No más vida sin vida, deslucida, aburrida y solitaria. Su mundo estaba lleno de color y música. Era primavera todo el tiempo. Sólo su mirada o el sonido de su voz la hacían dar vueltas y su corazón latía más rápido.

Dominique había escrito y preguntaba una vez más. "Deja a Pierre y ven conmigo. Yo cuidaré de ti. Te amo".

Alberta ya había escrito algunas cartas pero cada una al volver a leerlas decidió romperlas. En el primero escribió: "Sí, amado mío. Quiero esto más que nada. Te amo". Pero luego lo rompió.

En el segundo escribió: "Te amo, querida, pero tengo miedo de lo que le pasará a Pierre, a mi familia y al negocio". Ella también rompió ese.

Esta era su tercera vez. Le estaba costando decidirse. Sabía que su familia se enfadaría mucho si dejaba a Pierre. Tenían vínculos comerciales con él y habían invertido bastante en su negocio de importación y exportación. Dejar a Pierre afectaría a mucha gente y causaría problemas en el negocio.

Pero, de nuevo... Ella no estaba feliz. Ella sentía que realmente ni siquiera tenía marido. Ella era sólo parte de un trato comercial.

Decidió ir con Dominique. El amor lo conquista todo.

Alberta thought long and hard how to respond to Dominique's last letter. How could she leave Pierre? It was not possible. But Dominique was persistent. He couldn't get her out of his mind. She was all he thought of day and night. He was obsessed.

Alberta was in Hong Kong with Pierre conducting business for Pierre's import and export business. They were a long way from Paris and had been traveling in Asia for several months. Dominique was writing everyday. He was a colonel in the French army stationed outside Paris. He was very handsome and in uniform he appeared very bold and powerful. Alberta had been attracted to him after they met at her niece's wedding three years ago. Dominique was a friend of the groom.

Alberta's life with Pierre was difficult. He drank quite a lot and engaged in extramarital affairs leaving Alberta alone much of the time. They did not have children. There was no intimacy in the marriage. It was a marriage of convenience. Alberta's marriage with Pierre had been arranged by her father and brothers and she had come with a large dowry. Something Pierre just couldn't refuse. It was a lonely, loveless marriage for Alberta.

And then there was Dominique. She felt alive again. No more lifeless, lackluster, boredom and loneliness. Her world was filled with color and music. It was spring all the time. Just his glance or the sound of his voice would send her spinning, her heart beating faster.

Dominique had written and was asking once again. "Leave Pierre and come with me. I will take care of you. I love you. "

Alberta had already written a few letters but each one when she reread it decided to tear it up. In the first one she wrote, "Yes, my beloved. I want this more than anything. I love you." But then she tore it up.

In the second one she wrote, "I love you, my dearest, but I am afraid of what will happen to Pierre, my family and the business." She tore that one up too.

Now this was her third time. She was having a difficult time deciding. She knew her family would be very angry if she left Pierre. They had business ties with him having invested quite a lot in his import export business. Leaving Pierre would affect a lot of people and cause problems with the business.

But then again... She was not happy. She felt she really didn't even have a husband. She was just part of a business deal.

She decided to go with Dominique. Love conquers all.

In addition, the third letter could be a peak emotional moment. If Alberta poured out more of her feelings and reflections in this letter, the reader could feel more of the weight of the decision she had to make. Ultimately, the story offers an interesting exploration of how love often clashes with practical reality, leaving the reader wanting to see how Alberta will ultimately act. Good luck

good point... "If Alberta poured out more of her feelings and reflections in this letter" Thank you. Something to work on next time...

Alberta had a difficult choice for her time. She chose her happiness, and in my opinion, rightly so, but will she be able to cope with guilt and new challenges? By making her choice, she has probably ruined her relationship with her family.

Thank you. Good observation. She was caught between duty and emotion. A tough place to be in but one that we also find ourselves in from to time to time. If the abuse was too much and Pierre remained in the same pattern she was justified in leaving him. The family would have to adjust. Money isn't everything. Dominique's family would fill the emptiness. If there were children her family's hearts would soften out of a desire to accept the grandchildren. There were no offspring with Pierre. Following the dictates of the heart is where the drama begins. The heart is the seat of emotions. These things are very much in my consciousness as I try to navigate this life.

Los matrimonios arreglados pueden resultar rentables económicamente; así como también se declaran en "bancarrota" por la falta de amor para vivir. De modo que la huida de Alberta con Dominique estaba muy justificada. # Gracias por estar. Un abrazo.

¡Holaaa amigo!🤗

Pierre no le supo dar un buen lugar a Alberta y, aunque ella en algún momento haya sentido amor por él, lamentablemente la realidad tarde o temprano la llevaría a hacer lo que finalmente hizo.

Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica... Un fuerte abrazo💚
