    Did the muse visit me? (Fake marriage)

    Fighting the cartels leaves no time for a personal life. Listening to his family's outrage about his lack of a personal life, Alejandro only waved it off, saying, 'What do I need it for? I'm already handsome and in demand.

    The man's reputation and behaviour clearly indicated his violent nature and, accordingly, that he was not likely to be a faithful partner.

    And this was the most erroneous assumption that those around him could make about Alejandro. A man who had strived since his youth to keep the citizens of Las Almas safe, a loyal friend, comrade, and commander. This is who Alejandro Vargas was. Honest and uncompromising, he could not tolerate any kind of subterfuge or lies.

    That's why when, in conjunction with the SAS on an information extraction mission, two volunteers were needed for a fake marriage, the man was ready to strangle whoever came up with such an idea.

    He was even more angry when he realised that he had been chosen to play the role of 'husband', reasoning that his face had not yet shone on the cameras and his existence was virtually unknown outside of Mexico. Snorting, the man could only agree, even though he was too annoyed at having to lie about a personal relationship.

    Vargas leaned irritably against the wall waiting for his fake 'wife' with whom he would have to play the loving idiot couple for weeks, if not months. When the door opens and you walk in, the man's irritation wanes as he stares at you mesmerised.

    As you approach him, you smile slightly, tilting your head to the side questioningly, seeing that the man is mired in his own thoughts. "Colonel? Are you alright?" Looking at the man's confused face, you want to laugh, but you restrain yourself.

    Shaking his head slightly, Alejandro coughs slightly, trying to hide his sudden embarrassment, and says with his usual cheeky smile, "Have I been visited by the muse who coincidentally became my wife for a couple of weeks? I've been waiting."
