✏ Rebecca’s POV 💬
“Emeliano-”
“I’m leaving first thing tomorrow morning. You can have the house to yourself and your psycho ex b©yfri£nd.” He said, walking away from me. Finally.
Shutting my eyes, I allowed the first drop of tears to fall. Followed by the others.
quic-kly, I picked up my phone prepared to finish this once and for all.
I dialed Rafael’s number.
“Lewis.” His irritating voice blasted my speaker.
“Dad. Andrew contacted me. He’s in Paris. He knows you’re onto him.”
“Don’t worry about anything Rebecca. It’s un-der control- he’ll be gone soon. I promise- how are things with Emeliano?”
“It’s perfect here, I’ll get his signature on the paper in no time.”
“Amazing. I’ve got to go. Call me if something comes up.”
“Sure.” I hung up “bastard.”
I dropped down on a stool, putting my hands on my face.
Emeliano hates me. Despite the fact that I told him everything, he still can’t stand my pres£nce.
How do I make him un-derstand?
How?

Courage.
I summoned enough courage to walk up to Emeliano. I wronged him, I betrayed him. I broke whatever trust he managed to build between us. He was right after all, I ruined us. But something in me told me that it wasn’t all ruined.
Something may have changed between us, but I knew we still had something, I knew there was still a p@rt of me that could still reach out to a p@rt of him.
I couldn’t just let him leave like that, what we had was worth fighting for, and if he didn’t see it that way, I’d show him.
His door was left slightly open, my hand reached for the handle, pu-lling it open fully as I stepped in. He was packing his clothes
into his suitcase.
Gently, I shut the door behind me.
Just then, he turned to me, his eyes studied me for a second before he went on with his packing.
Sighing, I moved to stand next to him.
“So that’s it?” I said, my voice below whispers. It was clear that I was sad, I wasn’t the slightest bit happy with our situation. I caused all this, but I did it with the most purest intensions. Why couldn’t he see that? What was so ha-rd to believe?
He ignored me totally, going on with packing.
He picked up a blue T shi-t, and shoved it into the suitcase.
I pu-ll-ed the blue T-shi-t from the suitcase, along with another shi-t back to the be-d. “I’m not gonna let you go anywhere.” I said, trying to look into his eyes, but he tried his possible best to turn away from me.
He pu-ll-ed the clothes back into the box but I pu-ll-ed them back out just as fast.
His jaw clenched and unclenched.
“We have to talk about this.” I said.
He moved away from me, to his wardrobe. He gr@bbÂŁd the few shi-ts he had hung up alre-ady, and moved back to the be-d, shoving the shi-ts into the box.
I on the other hand, made it my duty to pu-ll the shi-ts back out, in fact, I began to pu-ll everything out of the box. When I was done, I looked up to find him glaring at me.
“What the f–k is your problem?” He gritted out.
“At least listen to what I have to say-”
“What more could you possibly say?” He asked, his look was as ha-rd as the word ha-rd .
“I’m sorry.”
“I’ve heard that one before.” He said, gently pushing pas-s me to the pile of clothes on the be-d. He pu-ll-ed the box closer to his direction, shoving the clothes I pu-ll-ed out, back into the box.
Pressing myl-ips together, I pu-ll-ed out the clothes he shoved into the bag.
“St©p unpacking the box! What are you? Ten?”
“I don’t freaking care, I’m not going to let you leave like this. We’ve come too far to break things off like this.”
“Get out.”
“Emeliano-”
“What p@rt of leave me alone don’t you f—–g un-derstand?” He glared, resuming his packing thing.
I pu-ll-ed the clothes out again.
“Why can’t you just un-derstand that I did this for you-”
“I don’t ever remember asking for your help! Neither did I remember telling you that I was incapable of handling it myself.”
“I just thought-”
“Yeah, you thought.” he said. Still pu-lling clothes into the box.
“I had no choice, Andrew was threatening me… I was scared of putting you in danger, Andrew is very dangerous- he has done things, terrible things to my friends and- I didn’t want to bother you with that mess.
“You didn’t want to bother me?” He asked indignantly. “Can you hear yourself? What do you think of me?” He looked hurt. “Did you really think I was too broken to comprehend any of it? To st©p a psychopath from hurting the woman I love? Did you really think I’d feel bothered because I had it in my schedule to put you un-der protec-tion?”
I didn’t realize my eyes going teary until I felt a tear escape my eyes.
“You pitied me to the extent of taking on a dangerous path just to protect me. You didn’t think I was capable of protecting you because I’m what? A baby who nee-ds protec-tion himself?”
“St©p talking like this plea-se-”
“It’s what I feel! I feel hurt Rebecca, beyond your expectation. I’m not mad at you because you lied to me about Rafael $h!t. No- it’s far from that.” His che-st moved quic-ker than normal. “I’m grieving because you think I’m not stable enough to protect you from that psycho douchebag. I’m angry because I let myself vulnerable enough for you to- to-” he didn’t complete his statement, he just looked down, settling in the silence for a bit.
“We can’t be together.” He said.
I took in a sharp intake of breath, feeling his words shape into straight sharp arrows while they aimed for my che-st.
“What do you mean?” I asked, hearing my voice crack.
“We can’t be together- look, I’m glad and thri-lled that- that we’re gonna be having a baby together, I’m overjoyed in fact. I’m re-ady to take full responsibility for the baby. But we just can’t be together.”
“But why? We love each other.”
“You’re wrong. We don’t- and de-ep down, you know that.”
My brows scrunched in confusion. “Why are you saying this?
Why are you- I love you Emeliano. I love you so much, and-”
“You don’t. You only pity me- just like everyone else, you don’t see me the way I-” he paused. “You never loved me, if you did, you’d have trusted me enough, you’d have told me about Andrew.”
“I love you Emeliano- I did love you and I still love you! St©p putting words in my mouth! You don’t know how it kills me to hear you say things like this! Fine, I get it! I f—-d up! Big time.
There’s no excuse for that! But don’t you ever say that I didn’t love you! Don’t! This- this was the same reason I didn’t tell you about anything, I remember the day I told you that I’d gotten a call from Rafael, the way you lashed out! It only proved that you were still affected by his betrayal. I didn’t want you to worry over something that I had un-der my control!”
“We could have handled it together!”
“You wouldn’t have let me go throu-gh with it! Your d–n ego would not have allowed me go near any of them. You know that.” I breath out. “I pitied you, yes- it’s only normal, we’re only human. We all have our past, and yours wasn’t shiny. St©p mistaking my love for pity.”
“It is pity.”
“No, it isn’t.”
“It is Rebecca, you only pity me- that’s what everyone does-”
“This is your problem!!!” I yelled unable to contain it all. “This is the reason why I didn’t tell you any thing! I knew you didn’t trust me enough to think that I’d stay! I knew you had always had it in the back of your mind that I didn’t really want to be with you!
I knew you thought I’d leave you just like everyone else.
You were too insecure around me! Picking your words, apologizing for everything! We weren’t okay, I did what I did to fix us!”
“Cause your middle name’s hero.” He mocked.
“No, because I love you.”
He remained silent.
“You don’t believe me because everyone in your life has one way or another made you think that you were incapable of being loved.” I said.
“Thanks for the reminder.”
“You nee-d to be reminded of some certain things before you begin to think reasonably. Not because everyone else in your life followed the same pattern, means that I am going to follow that same pattern.
I love you Emeliano. And I’m not gonna st©p loving you, no matter what you say or think. I’m going to fight for this relationsh!peven when you think there’s nothing else to fight for.”
I was getting throu-gh to him.
“You might think we’re not meant to be together. But that is just what you think. What I know is that we are meant to be together, regardless of our messed up pas-sed or common enemy. Listen Emeliano, there is no relationsh!pwithout flaws. Ours just has so many twist to it. But we can scale throu-gh, together.”
“You hurt me.”
“And I’m sorry. I regret it, I swear. I love you so much.” I walked closer to him. “I should have told you. I made a mistake, but plea-se- don’t punish me like this. Don’t end us. plea-se.”
“I’m sorry.” He said, creating more distance between us. “I can’t be with you. I can’t predict you, your way is totally different from mine. I don’t know when you’re serious or when you’re kidding-”
“I’ll change. This is why we’re together… The more we get to know each other, the more I adjust to you.”
“Rebecca-”
“Give me a second chance. Give us a second chance. I promise to work things out. I will-”
” We , I think you meant we . St©p leaving me of things, it just hurts me the more.”
“Now you see how I felt when you kept things from me.” I said, trying to lighten up the atmosphere.
“So what? This is revenge.”
“Was revenge. Now you’re in this too. You want to be involved, time to get involved.”
He sighed, hisl-ips tugging up a little. “Okay.”
“Are we good?”
“That depends.” He stated.
“On what?”
“On if I’ll be able to k!ssMason’sl-ips from yours.” He said, connecting ourl-ips together, I felt the effect of the k!ssin my lower belly, I guess our baby was rejoicing too, or maybe it’s just my b©dy reacting to him. My hands moved to bless his hair with my f!ngersas I pressed my b©dy against his.
God, I missed this- how did I even manage.
He pu-ll-ed away. “Ask again.” He said.
“Are we good?”
“No.” He said. “We’re better.”
A smile made its way to myl-ips, as I engulfed him in a ti-ght hvg. “Oh, I’m so sorry, you have no idea how torturing it was to spy on you and that pretty Jane.”
He pu-ll-ed me away, hisl-ips threatening to break with a smile.
“You were spying on us?”
“Yeah… It was thri-lling, but I just felt sad anytime I saw you drop off her kid at school. Cried sometimes.”
“Awnnn. You deserved that.”
“I know right? But hey, we’re good now right?”
“No.” He smiled.
“We’re better.”
