Rebecca's pov
*Day 4*
He didn't return to the room last night.
I won't lie to you, I was disappointed, I really wanted to see his reaction to what I said to him... I really wanted to know if there was a little bit of human blood running through his veins.
Last night was different from all the other nights I've spent here.
I couldn't sleep, all I could think about was Emeliano. I wanted to know the reason why he reacted like that towards me, I was pretty sure Something else was wrong with him.
There's something I don't know.
This hatred between him and Marcos was more than just their parents' mistake, there was something else attached to it and I have a feeling that it had to do with the woman Marcos got married to.
They might be in love with one woman, right? I mean, what could make two men be at each other's throats?
And the other day in Emeliano's office, they were talking about this her... Could it be Marcos's wife?
Could Emeliano be in love with his brother's wife? Or is there something more to it?
I have so many unanswered questions, I need to break this puzzle because I'm certain that It has something to do with me. Although, Emeliano said I wasn't the Rebecca he was talking about, but that was an obvious lie... I remember Piper saying that I was prettier than this Her lady.
But who could she be?
If she was Marco's wife, why the hell did Marcos say that we were so alike in many ways? Why did Piper compare me to her? How the hell are two strangers supposed to have the same similarities?
Except she wasn't a stranger?
Could she be family? Oh my god...
I stood up from the kitchen stool where I was sitting earlier, as I paced back and forth.
Could she be April? Of course it's April... Why didn't I think of this?
I came here to attend April's wedding, she might think that I didn't accept her request, so she went ahead and married Marcos... But April's wedding is supposed to be some days from now, why did she rush it?
Something is definitely not right here and that is exactly why I must find a way to get to Emeliano's office, I have every right to know the truth... If this is about April, I need to know what the problem really is.
"You seem to be in deep thoughts, Miss Becca, everything okay?" Pablo asked, as his slightly wrinkled eyes scanned me in worry...
Maybe I could ask for his help, he seems to know this mansion to hell and back, he should be able to help me leave. Right?
"Actually, there's a problem." I said.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Pablo asked me.
"Yes...Um.. I really need to see Emeliano, is there a way out of here? Or any guard you could at least talk to?"
He looked quite worried for a while and I knew exactly what he was thinking. "It's not possible, Miss Becca... If we help you escape, we could lose our job here and it's all we have..."
"I'm not going to run... I not going to escape, I know I won't get that far anyway, I'm telling the truth, I really want to go to his company... I'll make sure you guys don't get In trouble... You can trust me Pablo, I wouldn't want you guys to lose your jobs because of me... I know how difficult it is to get one."
Pablo looked to be considering my request. "What if Emeliano gets annoyed?"
"I'll handle it... I promise, I just need to see him."
I need to find out everything, even if it's going to take a gradual process, I'd have to be patient, I need to really confirm my theory.
I just hope to God that Emeliano isn't using me to get to my sister.
"My son in laws' brother works as a driver here, maybe I can help you talk to him... I'll be back."
"Thank you so much Pablo..." I thanked him with a sincere smile on my face.
You know, I might be wrong, maybe this has nothing to do with me, maybe Emeliano was indeed talking about another Rebecca, but all of this seems to be too much of a coincident.
I saw the hurt In Emeliano's eyes last night, the moment I told him that Marcos was married... It was really hard to miss it.
But why in the world would April come between two brothers? What would she gain by doing that?
I wouldn't know, will I? I was five the last time I saw her and she was seven, a lot of things would have changed since then. Right? She can't still be the sweet innocent April I used to know.
Emeliano might not tell me right away, but I would get the answers from him eventually, someday within these 14 days.
I just know that there's something more to Emeliano's cold as stone behavior, and according to Pablo, he wasn't always like this. And if my sister was responsible for turning a man into a cold heart bastard, I'd know that it was more than just brothers rivalry, she had to have done something really terrible to turn him this way.
But what could she have done?
"Miss Becca? The car is ready."
_________
I reacted kindly to the few greetings and stares I got from Emeliano's employees... The humongous building was flowing with people, dressed in cooperate attires...
They were all working.
The atmosphere around this building was really hard, there was no lightness, people seemed to be taking their work seriously.
I entered into the private elevator that was supposed to take me to Emeliano's office.
I wonder what he'd do when he sees me... Will he yell? Send me out of his office? Drag me back home by my hair? Slap me? Ask me to strip naked in the middle of the organization? Kiss me? Touch me?
I let out a shaky breath at the last thought.
My mind went on a rundown to last night in his study.
"Stop thinking about that, Rebecca... Focus on your new mission..."
Ding.
The elevator opened up. Stepping out, his assistant raised her head to my direction and immediately her eyes widened.
I walked over to her table with a smile. "Hi, Piper."
She looked stunned at my presence. "Oh my God, how did you escape?!" She yelled but immediately she covered her mouth with her hands and looked towards Emeliano's office door, when she was sure he didn't hear anything, she looked back at me with a grin.
"Oh god.. do you know how much trouble you're In?"
"No... But I'm prepared for it."
She chuckled... "Actually, it's good that you're here, He's being acting all weird since morning... His friend is in there with him, but you can go in."
"He has a friend?"
"Yeah, as surprising as it sounds."
"Truly... I mean, I never thought someone like him could have a friend."
"I thought the exact same thing when I started working here, actually his friend is my Boyfriend so, he got me the job."
"Oh..." Was all I could say, I could have just easily asked her all the questions I wanted to ask Emeliano, but- I was pretty sure she wouldn't tell me anything... She might be like. "It's not my story to tell."
"You can go in, but make sure you brace yourself for the worse."
I gave her a small smile before walking towards the door.
It can't really be that bad... Can it?
Oh, screw it.
I opened the door to his office where we shared our first ever kiss together.
Emeliano looked over at my direction and his eyes widened immediately, at first he looked shocked then later on, a glare was plastered on his face.
His friend turned to look at me and this time, my own eyes widened as a smile pulled it's way to my lips.
Oh my World...
"Diego?" I called in surprise.
Diego stood up slowly like he was trying so hard to stop himself from jumping on me, which I know quite well that it was only a matter of time.
"Holy crap... Rebecca?!!!"
Remember when I said It was only a matter of time till he jumped on me? Yeah, well... That is exactly what he did.
And seeing the look on Emeliano's face, I don't think he likes it very much.
