Emeliano's pov
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
Piper's voice blasted through the speaker of my phone, I honestly went deaf in my left ear for about five seconds.
"Did you seriously have to yell?" I asked her, bringing my phone back to my ear when I was sure she wouldn't go all banshee on me.
"Yes! Why would you do such a thing to a woman? Telling her to take off her clothes? To top it all, insulted her body?!! No woman likes that." Piper whisper-yelled over the phone- I guess she was with Diego.
"That's the point. It was a punishment." I replied, partially trying to convince myself.
I just wanted to make Rebecca feel really bad, to punish her for saying no to me, I did what I did because she- she said no to me and I was angry, any one in my shoes would do that. Right?
Fine, I lied, she wasn't a turn off to men, but the exact opposite! When she took off her shirt at first, I was mesmerized by her beautiful skin, it took every single thing in me not to reach and touch her, her long legs were what killed me, just by the mere sight of them, got me aroused like no other woman has. I mean, I got aroused by just seeing her long legs! Crazy right?
I couldn't bear it anymore, that was exactly why I told her to stop, I was so close to fücking the hell out of her.
She was beautiful.
But, all I wanted was to make her feel bad about herself, to make her think twice before she made a decision without my consent, to make the Lewis's know that I would do anything to satisfy my thirst for revenge.
"Punishment? That is just crazy! You can't scar a woman like that. Do you know how bad she must be feeling right now? Have you no heart, Emeliano?" Piper's voice made me feel even more guilty than I already was.
"I didn't scar her! Just give her a day or two, she'll get over it."
"Get over it? No woman can ever get over that! No woman! Even a fucking slut! Listen Emeliano- Rebecca has nothing to do with what her family did to you! Okay? Nothing! Don't punish that poor girl for-"
"For the sins of her family?"
"Yes... That. Rebecca deserves an apology." Piper said.
"Excuse me? I will do no such thing Piper... Why would I apologise?"
"Because you did something wrong! Very wrong!"
I exhaled harshly. "You know me Piper! I don't really say sorry without concrete reasons."
"You proud egotistical bastard!"
"Thank you. Anyways- any news on Her? Do you know if she has heard yet?" I asked.
Piper sighed over the phone. "Nothing yet. Look, why don't you just-"
"I'll see you at work tomorrow... Piper." I ended the call before she could start lecturing me all over again."
Apologize? Trust me, even though there was a knife to my throat, I'd never apologise. She deserved it, especially for blushing at Marcos' words! I'd never understand what these females see in Marcos!
And then again, it was gross.
I stood up and paced in my study.
Nothing was working right for me, in fact, nothing ever did work right for me! First, I lose the one that I love, second, that Fûçkiñg bastard was determined to ruin my life at any cost! Don't even get me started on the third and forth points.
I wasn't always like this, wicked, evil, rude... No I wasn't, I was much better, but everything changed when I got betrayed by the people I held close to my heart.
And now I have no one, absolutely no one.

The night was peaceful and cool, a very great weather to have a healthy night's rest that most people could only wish for.
But guess what?
I couldn't sleep! Not because I was thinking, not because I was uncomfortable, but because Rebecca continued to sniff and sob and sniff and sob, over and over again. It was so damn frustrating!
If there was anything I loved more in this world, then it would be my night rest, I hated disturbance and I was beginning to get irritated by this drama queen.
I tossed and turned in bed, trying to block out the stupid girly cry sounds, I even placed a pillow over my head to block it out, but it only grew louder.
"Would you please stop!" I groaned out, beginning to sit up.
She didn't respond to me, all she did was sob harder.
Are you Fûçkiñg kidding me right now?
"Rebecca. Stop!" I warned her.
All she fucking did was break down in more stupid tears.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I yelled, running my hands through my hair in frustration.
She turned to my direction immediately, and guess what? She looked miserable, like she had been crying the entire day.
Was she really that affected by what I did?
I felt all the anger in my veins wash away, this was not a feeling I was used to.
I felt all the guilt in me rush back to my head in full Fûçkiñg force, making me want to turn back the hands of time.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" She asked, her brows raised in amusement, and her voice cracked due to so much crying. "How dare you even ask me that."
I gritted my teeth, looked away, picked up my pillow and got out of bed.
"I don't have time to get angry all over again. So why don't you suck it up," I threw my pillow on the bed- like couch. "And do us all a favor by sleeping!" I dropped on the couch and tried to find a comfortable position to sleep.
"So, you're not even going to apologise for what you did?" I sensed the disbelief in her words.
Chuckling, I found the perfect position. "Did you think that because you cried, I'd go down on my knees and beg for forgiveness? Or that I'd be touched by your innocent femininity? Sorry- have we met?"
"You are such a jerk! A big fat jerk."
"I'm not fat... Learn how to properly use your insults." I said, putting my arm over my eyes, preparing to sleep, not until I heard shuffling around me, I scrunched my brows and looked up.
Rebecca was making her way to the door.
I jumped immediately and grabbed her by her arm. "Where do you think you're going?" I snarled out.
"Away from you!" She yelled.
I pushed her to the direction of the bed. "You better get back on that bed."
"No." She said, crossing her arms over her chest in a challenging way.
"Remember the last time you said no to me?"
She scoffed as tears pulled down her cheeks. "Of course? I remember... How can I ever forget that? It was one of the best moments of my entire life! Are you going to ask me to do it again? Trust me... I won't waste my time and yours by hesitating! In fact, what's there to hide?" She began to take off her shirt.
Immediately, I held her shaky hands. "What are you doing?"
"Striping naked. That's going to be my punishment for saying no to you right? It's fine, I'll be glad to disgust your sight with my very sickening body, as long as it annoys you." She pushed my hand away, proceeding to undo her shirt.
There was no word to describe how utterly guilty I felt, no word.
I stopped her again. "Stop it! I don't- I'm not asking you to strip-"
"Why? Are you gonna vomit?"
Yeah, I might just vomit cause I'm so disgusted in myself.
"Rebecca, stop this okay? Just get back to bed?"
"No! I'm not gonna do that- I can't sleep, I'll definitely have nightmares."
I sighed. How the hell am I going to sleep now?
"You know what? You can have the room for the night- whatever." I said, making my way to the door, not before glancing back at Rebecca who looked a little bit relieved at my decision.
After leaving the room, I went downstairs to get myself some warm milk, which I was pretty sure would help me get a better night rest.
If staying away from Rebecca tonight, would make her feel better, then I'll take that... I'd do anything to lessen this weird feeling of guilt, something I have never ever felt before.
