Emeliano's pov
I found her leaning on a car, with her hands covering her face. She was crying. And to know that I was probably the one responsible for those tears, I honestly felt like punishing myself. But no- if I want to pull through with this, I'd have to gather my stupid emotions.
"You know this is pathetic right?"
She jumped a little, bringing her hands down as she stared at me, confused for a moment.
"This stupid game you're playing? Stop it, you're just hurting the both of us."
Her look of confusion just shifted to a hard glare in a matter of seconds as she wiped her tears angrily. "What the fuck are you talking about?"
My eyebrows went up high, hearing her curse was something I would probably not ever get used to.
"Don't pretend like you don't know... In fact, you can stop pretending cause I know it's all an act."
She looked even more confused. "An act? Dude are you crazy? What act? Don't tell me you still believe that there's a reason behind all this." An humorless laugh escaped her throat. "How much did I get under your skin?"
"Rebecca-"
"Stick to the last names, Mr. Alfredo." She shut me up, repeating my words from the office.
"Why are you doing this huh? Choosing to hurt yourself because you're trying to what? Beat Rafael at his own game?"
"Listen, idiot... I have no idea on what you're talking about, you sound crazy, and this conversation is over." She said, trying to walk pass me, but I pulled her by her arm, forcing her to face me again. "What the fuck is your problem?!"
"Stop it!" I yelled, making her jump in shock. "I've had enough of this bullshit, Rebecca... This hate game, this childish stupidity! What the hell is wrong with you huh? Tell me? After like what? Some months of being together, falling madly in love with each other and then all of a sudden you just come up and tell me it was all a lie? And you really expected me to believe that? Is that it? You think I don't know what you're trying to do here? You think you're some kind of hero who can solve anything by working in your own terms?"
"It's not my fault that you choose to believe me. It's not my fault that you fell madly in love with Me..."
I let go her arm, as frustration built a castle in my brain. "You say it's all an act right?"
"Of course."
"So why the hell did you leave the table like that? Crying outside like your engagement was just called off."
"None of your business."
"None of my-" I scoffed. "Seriously?"
"Yeah, yeah it's none of your business... It actually doesn't concern you... And if you think this was all an act and I was so hurt by you bringing in some other woman to the table, claiming she was to be your wife... Then I'm sorry for you, cause as far as I'm concerned, you can fuck and marry as many Hoes you want... I'm in love with someone else, and that someone else goes by the name Mason."
"That so?"
"So... So."
She was about to walk away again but I was quick to pull her back, pressing her against the car she was leaning on earlier, as I connected our lips together. Immediately, she melted against my body, no fight, no struggle.
Wasn't that enough sign that she was just playing with me?
Sixty seconds into the kiss, she pushed me away from her, connecting her palms with my jaw. And slapping my senses right back into me while she was at it.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! Are you that desperate?"
"I should be asking you that." I retorted.
Raking her hands through her hair, she bit her lips hard. "You're crazy." She said.
"I'm not. You know wanna know what's crazy? It's the fact that I trusted you to the extent of wanting to break a vow that I made a long time ago... It's the fact that I'm so useless without you... It's the fact that I was about to shop for an engagement ring to seal our relationship, it's fucking fact that I wanted to marry you, after closing up that chapter of my life."
She took in a sharp shaky breath, her eyes widened with tears, as they made their way down her cheek.
"Yeah, you're shocked... I am too. And here you are, breaking me all over again, ruining my life all over again. Why? What did I ever do to deserve this from you? From all of you? Huh? Come on. If this is an act, then I'm begging you- all you just have to do is tell me, and I swear to God, I swear I'll play along- just- please stop hurting me this way."
A long silence dragged on.
Until she finally spoke. "I don't know what you want me to say. I've said all there is to say. I don't know why you're hell bent on making me- making me repeat this." Tears poured down her cheeks, although she kept on wiping them off each time. "I don't- I don't love you... I never- I never did... It was all an act. But this part, this part isn't an act."
"So why the hell are you crying?"
"Maybe it's because I'm tired of repeating myself over and over again."
"Is he forcing you to do this? Is Rafael forcing you to do this?"
"No one is forcing me to do anything." She sniffed. "I'm just tired of trying to get my words into your stubborn skull. I'm not in love with you - I don't love you- you have to understand... All I did, I did for money-"
"Bullshit Rebecca!!! Why the fuck do you think you can lie to me?! Huh? Why? Your lips are saying one thing but your eyes are saying another. Just stop this shit already!"
"I'm not doing anything!!! Just leave me the hell alone! Please."
She tried to move pass me again, but I pulled her back. "Don't you dare walk away from me. Don't. I not gonna let you go that easy... You started this... You made me open up to you. You promised me-"
"They were all lies Emeliano! Please believe that and leave me alone."
"Lies? They weren't lies, you and I both know that." I cupped her face in my hands. "After everything we've been through- why- why do you want to destroy us like this? Why can't you just tell me why you're doing this... I promise I'll understand."
"No, there's nothing for you to understand." She pushed me away again. "I'm done! Get it through your head... I don't love you, never did and never will. And I'm sick and tired of you not believing me. Stop making me repeat myself, I beg you."
"How can I believe you? Just few weeks back we were okay? You're driving me crazy Rebecca! You're driving me mad!"
"You're driving yourself crazy."
"Rebecca- please stop-"
"I'm done talking to you." She muttered, pushing pass me.
"I'm gonna need proof! I still don't believe you." She halted, turning to face me. "Anything to put me out of this mystery."
She raked her fingers through her hair, completely messing up the curls. But she still managed to look flawless.
"You want proof?" She asked.
"Yeah. You could at least give me that."
She nodded before killing me with her next words.
"I'm pregnant. And it's Mason's."
.
.
Dumbfounded was the right word I would use for my situation right.
"I sincerely hope that's enough proof for you. If you'll excuse me." She muttered, finally leaving me.
I felt my heart at the pit of my stomach.
That definitely did it... It wasn't an act after all.
I never really had her.
She was never mine...
I was fooled.... Again.
