Rebecca's pov



Week 6



"I can't keep on doing this Camilla. I don't think I can handle this anymore. It's too much." I blew my already red nose into the last tissue from an entire pack.

Camilla dropped her nail filer on the table, giving me a pitiful look. "You know you have to right? Emeliano might not understand that you're trying to protect him from your narcissistic ex and man whore of a father, but I'm pretty sure he'll understand later on."

"He hates me." I muttered.

"Hate Is a strong word." Camilla sighed. "Look Becca, we're trying to kill two birds with one stone here. We might not even have to go to court if this works out as planned. As you planned."

I fell back into my very favorite chair in Camilla and Marcos's penthouse. "I should have told him. Two weeks ago, at that dinner meeting, I had the chance to tell him but- but I just couldn't... I've gotten very far already. But Cammy, you should have seen him... He was so broken by all these stupid lies... I hate myself so much."

"That's two weeks ago."

"Feels like yesterday."

"Well, you need to relax, crying every second can hurt you and the baby-"

"I even lied to him about that, I told him it was Mason's... This baby was meant to be our special moment. I can't believe I even-"

"It was for the best-"

"He wanted to get me a wedding ring, he was going to propose... God why is this happening to me!"

"Rebecca! Relax." Camilla yelled a little. "Emeliano will understand your reasons for doing this... Just a little more time."

"Whatever, he's probably with Jane... My replacement."

"Oh come on... They're just friends, Piper confirmed it."

"Piper isn't always with Emeliano 24/7." I muttered. "Besides, yesterday, during my early morning spy Job, I traced Emeliano to school, he was dropping off some kid and you know what? That Jane lady was with him, I had to peel the binoculars from my already swollen eyes."

"Becca. He has nothing going on with That Jane lady, she's happily married to a doctor and they have a kid together."

"So, why is she always with Emeliano? Giving him stupid nicknames like Liano, Eme, and whatever."

"You're overreacting."

"I'm not. I just miss him so much."

I sniffed again.

Okay, enough with the sob story. I seriously don't have the right to feel like a hero cause, actually, I'm not... My stupid plan was going on great but I'm at risk of losing the main reason why I started this ridiculous mission.



Few weeks ago, after Piper informed me about Rafael's Visit to Emeliano, I cooked up a very delicious plan to put an end to Andrew and Rafael for once.



It all started when I paced In the garden, while Marcos, Piper and Camilla just stared at me like a nut was screwed out of my head. It was a bright Wednesday morning after Emeliano left for work, I called in Piper to take a day off from work, cause she was actually a big part of my plan... I also called in Marcos and Camilla, cause I believed that they would as well be of great help.



Although I felt nervous cause, hell! I wasn't ready to face them... Neither was I ready to work hand in hand for mine and Emeliano's favour with them. But it was necessary.



"What's going on Rebecca? You called me to take a break from work to sit here with these two evil people? I don't understand."



"Why are you calling us evil?" Marcos asked.



"Oh, lemme guess? Well maybe it's because-"



Mason rushed in. "Sorry I'm late, I got held up by traffic."



"Finally, have a seat." I said, my heart hammering wildly against my chest.



When Mason was settled, he looked confused... They all looked confused... Waiting for me to clear up the weird atmosphere.



"You all are confused. But I'm pretty sure all we're going to say here today, would be in our best interest- except for you - Mason."



"No problem- as long as I'm of help."



"Great! Awesome actually cause, you're also a really big part of this."



"What is going on?" Marcos asked.



"First off, I'll start by- Rafael is a douchebag."



"Check." Piper said.



"And I for one, thinks he needs to rot in hell."

"Double check." Marcos said.



"Guys, I know Rafael has been an obstacle to each and everyone of us, apart from Mason here... Camilla, he blackmailed you into fooling Emeliano, am I correct?"



"Yes, held my mother in custody and threatened to kill her if I didn't play along."



I turned to Marcos. "Marcos, he-"



"Threatened to kill both Camilla and her mother if I didn't get Emeliano to sign off the Illinois company ownership to myself, which indirectly meant him."



I turned to Piper. "Piper, he-"



"Destroyed the life of my Boss and threatened to shave all the hair from my head If I didn't let him in- let's not forget, the hell pictures he took of my little sister on her way back from school."



"This Rafael guy sounds like a criminal."



"He is evil... Trust me." Marcos muttered. "What are we doing here exactly? Reminiscing the past and opening up wounds?"



"No. We're here to figure out a way to put Rafael behind bars... For good."



"Okay, I'm listening." Camilla said, sitting up straight.



"We're going to make him kill someone."



"Excuse me?" Mason butted in.



"Yes, you heard me Maze... We're going to make Rafael kill my psychopath of an ex- ex boyfriend, Andrew De la Douchebag."



"Andrew's back?" Mason exclaimed with wide eyes.



"Yes. And this time, he means business... He wants me to leave Emeliano or else, he'd end his life. He's not bluffing. He never bluffs."



"First of all, is that his last name? Douchebag?" Piper asked.



"Yes, to me. Yes." I replied, earning a nod from Piper.



"Is this guy like really dangerous?" Marcos asked.



"Very. Last time he made it out of the first asylum, he managed to paralyze a close friend from college, thinking he was my boyfriend- The second time he appeared was when I was still with Mason... The douchebag kidnapped Mason."



"I barely got out alive." Mason added.



"Why aren't we calling the cops on his ass?" Piper said.



"I thought about it, really. But then it clicked! I can as well kill two birds with one stone. Rafael is planning to take control over Emeliano's company."



"Again?" Marcos asked.



"Yes. Overheard him cooking up something." Piper informed.



"Okay okay, so what's the plan?" Mason said.



"I'm going to play Rafael's game."



"How?"



Diego busted in. "I got it! I got it out of him."










I smirked. "That's how."



"Diego? What are you doing here?" Piper asked with shock written all over her face.



"I noticed something strange ever since Rafael's meeting with Emeliano. I knew right away that Emeliano was hiding something secret from me, something that might ruin our relationship-"



"So, she asked me to get it out of him." Diego chipped in.



"Indeed. So... What is it?"



"Apparently, Emeliano thinks he's responsible for the death of your birth mother."



My eyes widened. "Georgia is dead?"



"Uh no- cause she was at my wedding few months back." Marcos said, at alert.



"So why does he think that he murdered someone who is still alive?" I asked Diego.



"There was an incident, few years ago... My mom got sick- But later on she got transferred to some other country for treatment-" Marcos said.



"Emeliano mentioned something like that- only, his version was- Rafael manipulated him into paying off the doctor to end her life because she was responsible for the death of his father- back then, Emeliano didn't know that Rafael was originally the one who killed his father." Diego said.



"That bastardy bastard." I muttered.



"Rafael has bitten way much than he can chew, we have to put a stop to him." Camilla said.



"And that's where Mason comes in."



"Me? How?" Mason asked.



"It's simple- you own a successful law firm in New York city. You're going to be my fiancee. I'm going to trick Rafael into believing that Emeliano told me everything about his blackmail and that I've switched sides... I'll make up something like- Emeliano's evil and I wish I never met him... Blah blah blah, girly stuff and then I'll tell him that I'm ready to support him with whatever he was planning against Emeliano because I hate Emeliano and stuff-"



"Okay? Go on." Marcos said.



"Then after that, build up a conflict at the middle, it's going to concern Emeliano, but- leave that part to me."



"Where does Andrew De la Douchebag come into this?" Piper asked.



"Good question. I'll tell Rafael about Andrew and like the greedy pig Rafael is, he'd want to do anything to please me, as long as I work side in side with him. He's going to end Andrew, and we're going to pin him for Andrew's murder, along side the attempt of overtaking Emeliano's company-"



"How are you going to do that? The company ownership stuff." Mason asked



"All I need is Emeliano signature. After that, I'll handle the rest."



"So... Where do we come in play?" Camilla asked.



"You both are going to pretend to be really interested in Rafael's take over plan... In all, we'll just be one big happy family."



"How about Diego and I? What are our parts?"



"All you just gotta do is refrain Emeliano from hating me for this. And try your best possible or possible best, whatever- to stop him from ruining this whole plan."



Which they actually didn't do. "I mean, what was Diego thinking? He didn't even warn me first! He just went ahead to find a remarkable date for Emeliano... I almost ruined the whole thing." I said to Camilla who just sat there staring at me.



"So, what is your next move."



"I need sometime alone with Emeliano." I blurted out.



"No." Camilla said.



"No? What do you mean no?"



"Your emotions are all over the place Rebecca. You can't have that alone time with Emeliano without ruining the plan."



"I'm not gonna mess it up... I just need to see him... Badly, I need to be sure that he's okay."



"Why do you think he'll want to see you, after telling him that his child is actually for your ex boyfriend."



"He won't see me willingly. So that's why I'm going to make him see me- unwillingly."



"What?" Camilla asked as her brows came together in confusion.



I grabbed my phone quickly, dialing Piper's number.



She picked up almost too immediately.



"Hey! Thanks for calling Rebecca! I was beginning to get worried, I'm so sorry about the dinner meeting stuff, we forgot to tell you- are you okay? Is the baby okay?"



"Yeah I'm good... It's all good now... There's actually no tears left to cry."



"Gee, thank God."



"I need a favor."



"Anything- I'll do anything..."



"How quick can you make up a fake business trip to Paris for Emeliano?"
