The girl married an old man, she was scared so she went to bed early, and when she woke up in the morning, she was sh0cked by what the man did to her that night…
Elena grew up in a poor household on the outskirts of Lisbon. Her parents di:ed when she was very young, so she was raised by her grandmother. After finishing ninth grade, Elena dropped out of school and followed a neighbor to the city to work in a factory. Her life revolved around endless 12-hour shifts, cold boxed meals, damp rented rooms, and a few worn-out clothes.
At 22, Elena met Mr. Hugo through an arrangement between their families. He was nearly forty years older — a widower with a son who supposedly lived abroad. People whispered that though he was old, he was wealthy: he owned several houses, and if Elena agreed to marry him, he’d pay her grandmother’s hospital bills, settle their debts, and even buy her the scooter she’d always dreamed of.
Elena hesitated. Mr. Hugo’s hair was almost white, his skin lined with deep wrinkles, his body frail — yet his voice remained calm and steady. When they first met, he asked her directly,
— “Are you afraid of marrying an old man?”
Elena didn’t know how to answer. She only forced a shy smile.
Their wedding was small and quiet — just a few tables of food and some relatives. Elena didn’t invite any friends; she was too embarrassed.
On their wedding night, Elena sat on the bed, trembling. Fear filled her — fear that he would touch her, fear of the smell of ointment and old age. When Mr. Hugo entered and turned off the light, she pretended to be asleep. She pulled the blanket to her neck, heart pounding, praying he wouldn’t come near her.
Then she heard him sigh, the soft creak of the bed as he lay down beside her. And then… something unexpected happened. Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All comments 👇
