Emeliano's pov
She stayed.
Although, I still get my fair share of worries, I was still hunted by my past, I knew it wouldn't be easy to forget, I knew I would never forget, but I still try my best to be positive. Rebecca wasn't like the others, she was different, and I trusted her.
I knew she'd never leave and I knew there was a future here.
But- will I be able to pull through? Forget the past totally and settle in the idea of Rebecca being around? Would I be able to put both of my feet into this relationship?
This very complicated relationship?
I will, I'll try to make it work, even if it meant starting over again. We would pull through together and I'll take her words for it.
These past few weeks had been the best for Rebecca and I, although Rebecca still didn't call her mom since she found out about everything, I knew quite well that she wasn't ready for the confrontation.
Who would be?
But still, she'd still have to face the truth one day, she'd still have to face Rafael.
That bloody bastard.
Just thinking about him was getting me angry... I opened my laptop again, ready to work... My work has always been a barrier between me and my social life, I knew that, but ever since my father died, ever since I took in the responsibility of managing the business, I sacrificed half of myself into it... I had to.
It was really rare to find young CEOs at the age of twenty six... Most CEOs out there were mostly old and almost ready for death beds, but here I am, cursed with this heavy responsibility at a youthful age.
I was used to it, Marcos had his own company to run, he had his own fair share of my father's property but he had too many workers under him and his greed was insatiable, that was exactly why he worked hand in hand with Rafael to overtake my company.
Marcos hated me, I knew that, he blamed me for something I didn't do... At least that was what Rafael made me think- he was the one who placed the idea in my head- he told me that I-
What are you doing Emeliano... You promised never to let that issue come back to you... Why the hell are you thinking about it now?
I shook my head off the Banished thoughts immediately.
The door to my office swung open revealing Piper... "Hey."
"Hi... What have I told you about knocking bef-"
"Save it." Piper said. "Diego and I have a date, I'm leaving early, and you should call Rebecca... She's been calling non stop and try to give her your cell phone number, she really doesn't have to call through the office line everytime."
"Will do that, your Highness." I said to her.
Piper rolled her eyes. "Whatever, so yeah... I'm leaving early, is there anything you might need?"
"No... I don't think so... I guess I should leave early too. I promised Rebecca an early dinner." I smiled.
"Why don't you guys join us... It'd be like a double date."
"No." I said immediately.
"Why? It'd be fun... Rebecca would like that very much."
"I don't think Rebecca's ready to go out now... This is Orlando, we could run into anybody... We wouldn't want her to, you know- break down emotionally, over again."
It was actually the truth, I had tried to persuade Rebecca a thousand times, trying to make her come out with me, maybe to the office or errands, but she'd refuse Everytime... Giving the Same excuse I gave to Piper...
She just wasn't ready. And I respect that.
"Oh... That's true... I'm so glad that you're there for her, she needs you at this moment."
"I know." But the question is, will she need me when she finds out about what Rafael made me do?
No! I can't think of this now.
"Alright then... I'll just pack up and get ready to retire for the night." She said, giving a slight nod and waking away.
It would have been a good idea, but I was pretty sure Rebecca would refuse...
Speaking and thinking of Rebecca, I picked up my phone and dialed her number.
When she picked up, I was met with silence.
"Rebecca?" I spoke first, wondering why she was quiet.
"Oh... Emeliano... It's you? Hi... I've been calling the office line for quite a while now, you must be really busy."
"Yes, kind of... Are you okay? You sound kind of off?"
"I'm good. I just miss you- I'm really bored out of my mind at home."
"I could change that, but you wouldn't let me."
"We talked about this Emeliano. I'm not ready to- you know? Go out on dates and all that stuff."
I sighed, feeling a smile fall to my lips. "I understand, you're ready to go on dates, but you're not ready to bump into unwanted faces."
She giggled. "See, this is exactly why I love you... You totally get me... When are you coming back though? I've got cards and i'm dying to beat you at it."
I chuckled. "You... Beat the great Emeliano at cards? Hmm... I'd love to see you try."
"Challenge taken Liano. Come home soon."
"On my way love."
"I love you." She said, causing my heart to skip a beat. Hearing her say those words would never ever in this world or the next get old.
"Love you too." I replied, ending the call, sitting up and shutting down my laptop, but I paused when I heard the commotion just outside my office.
"You can't go in, he's busy and he wouldn't like that." Piper's voice was loud enough for me to hear.
"I want to see him... That bastard is going to pay! Get out of my way, girl!" The very familiar voice yelled back at Piper.
"You can't go in sir... I'll be forced to call the security on you if you try to insist... Why don't you be a gentle man and just come another time." Piper said politely.
I could feel my heart beat racing as the seconds passed, my feet was pinned to the ground beneath me as the sudden emotion of anger and fear gripped my chest in a hard way.
"Get out of my way! Now!" The voice said again, and with the sound of Piper's Yelp, I knew he had pushed her out of his way cause his footsteps got closer and closer until finally, the door to my office pulled open with full force.
Revealing the monster who had always hunted my dreams even till this day, whose voice always resounded in my ears, downgrading and depressing me... The man who I loathe with my every being.
I swallowed hard trying to find my words, but the only words I could manage was his name.
"Rafael."
