Rebecca's pov
Seeing Diego here wasn't really much of a surprise because two years ago, his parents had asked him to return back to Orlando.
Diego and I were really close during college, we were like best friends, but we lost contact when his parents decided to drag him back to Orlando to take over the family business.
"I can not believe this... You are the Rebecca? Like- Camilla's-"
"Diego!" Emeliano stopped him from saying whatever he wanted to say.
"Oops." Diego let out...
"What the hell is going on?" Emeliano asked, looking from me to Diego before his eyes came down on me again, and this time, his glare was very obvious. "How the hell did you manage to leave the house, in fact- Don't answer that." Emeliano said, charging towards me and grabbing my arm from Diego's hold.
Diego only Smirked at him. "Chill dude... We're just friends... No need to get too jealous.."
"Oh, I'm far from jealous right now." Emeliano seethed out.
"Let me guess, you're angry?" I suggested.
"Shut the fuck up." Emeliano yelled. "How the hell do you two know each other?"
"We were college best friends with Benefits?" Diego joked but Emeliano didn't take it as one.
"Excuse me?" Emeliano asked.
"He's just joking, we were close friends in college, that's all... And even if we were to be friends with Benefits, how does it affect you?" I asked him with a look of challenge, dancing in my eyes.
He couldn't reply, all he did was let go of my arm and moved back to his table.
I rubbed my arm.
"Did you see my girlfriend?" Diego asked.
"Yes... Piper, she's really nice... Unlike some people who like to grab arms and yell like they have all the time in the world." I looked over at Emeliano's direction to see him shooting glares at me.
The tension in the office was getting high by the second.
"I think I left something with Piper outside... I'll go get it... And I'll see you later." Diego grinned.
"What? No, you're not going anywhere." Emeliano said.
Diego gave him a strange look. "I remember you telling me that you have so much work and I was a distraction, why do you want me to stay?"
"Diego, I'll catch up with you later." I said to him, giving him a look that said 'go'
"Sure... See ya." Diego made his way out of the office, leaving Emeliano and I in the tension filled office, not before hugging my bones out of me.
I had this shaky feeling that made my breathing unsteady, and my palms sweaty.
Crossing my arm to my chest, I finally broke the awkward silence.
"Now that we're alone, Let's talk." I Smirked at him.
It's game on.

Emeliano's pov
There was only one reason why I didn't want Diego to leave, and the reason was plainly because I don't want to be left alone with someone that managed to pave her way into my head since morning.
Rebecca.
I thought I would be able to avoid her today, I thought I'd be able to get the weird feeling out of my system before the day ended... But seeing her now seemed to have doubled that weird feeling.
Diego had been pestering me to tell him why I kidnapped Her sister, turns out Piper told him that I had someone named Rebecca in my custody and she happens to be Rafael's other daughter.
And seriously, I couldn't answer that question anymore, if someone were to ask me why I kidnapped Rebecca, I would have given them the exact answer... But now, I don't even know why I'm holding her down anymore- I mean, Marcos has already gotten married to her sister, there was actually nothing I could do about it anymore.
So why the hell is Rebecca still in the picture?
Why can't I just let her go?
Am I still doing this for revenge, or something else?
I shook my head off the weird thoughts and looked over at Rebecca. "You and whoever helped you escape is in big trouble."
"I escaped on my own, so that leaves only me." She said, moving closer to my table.
"If you escaped on your own, why didn't you just run away?"
"Well, I wouldn't want my father to be left without a single dollar, and my mother without a job and a home... And I sincerely want April to get her happy ending."
Nice, she was throwing my threats to my face.
With a groan, I sat back on my chair, pretending to be looking for some papers, I could feel Rebecca's eyes on me, but I choose to ignore her.
Taking her seat in front of me, Rebecca scoffed. "No apology today? I was actually expecting you to feel guilty for what you did to me yesterday."
"Point of correction, what you let me do to you." I said without looking up.
"Whatever... Actually, I came to ask you something."
For some unknown reason, my heart picked up an unhealthy pace.
"I'm not answering any questions from you," I picked up the office line. "I'm calling someone to take you back to the mansion, I don't want you here."
She leaned forward and grabbed the telephone from me, throwing it to the ground and causing it to break into bits and pieces. "What the hell!" I asked, trying to sound as scary as I could, but she wasn't buying it.
It was like all my tactics of being a stone cold man wasn't affecting her as much as it affected people around me.
"You're not going to call anyone." She simply said.
"And who are you to decide?"
She shrugged. "I'm nobody. Now, to my questions."
I gritted my teeth in annoyance. "If you're about to ask me why I kissed you last night-"
"Really? Are you still thinking about that stupid kiss?"
My eyes widened in surprise... She isn't thinking about it?
"No I'm not, why would I think about it?" I lied.
That was all I could think about since morning.
"Anyway, it has something related to the kiss though... Um... I've been thinking about a lot of things ever since you called me a slut-"
I sighed. "Rebecca I-"
"Let me finish," she stopped me from talking...
That feeling of guilt swept through me when I saw the look on her face as she said the word 'slut'
"But first, let me ask my question... Is there a brothel around here somewhere?"
What?
