WHO BETRAYED THE LOVERS?
WHO BETRAYED THE LOVERS?
“PACK all you things because you will come with me in France, woman! I can not stay here in Spain for a very long time because of you!” Romnick angrily said to the woman who is crying nonstop in front of him.
But his anger arises more because he didn’t receive any answer nor acknowledgement from the woman whom he is talking. It seems that she finally realised how grave her mistake was.
“No matter how hard you will cry, Miss Fuentebella, my brother, will not come back from the underworld. So if I were you, stop crying and fix yourself. Never mind your things. Because I will talk to your nanny. She will be the one to do it for you,” he said with smirks on his face.
And yes!
His identical twin brother was dead. For a reason that he chose to defend his mistress from a gunshot that supposedly for her. The only family that he has was gone. They are identical twins, but both of them live in different ways and country. He stayed with their grandparents and managed their business around Europe, who raised them after the tragic death of their parents. While Ramil stayed in Madrid, Spain, and served as a lawyer in Madrid Court, where he met the mother of his mistress.
‘Fck! He is not that handsome, but why is this young lady crazily in love with him? If my memory is right, he said that he met her when we were twenty-five. Does it mean that he married my sister-in-law just to be with that brat?!’ he murmured as he walked away from her.
MEANWHILE, Stephanie is fully aware of what’s the man in front o him is trying to say. But she doesn’t have any courage to do so. It’s been a week since her mother and step-father were dead. As right after he left, the past started to hunt her again.
‘They both died because of you, Stephanie. You are such a beautiful woman, but why did you fall for your mother’s husband? Can’t you see any other man besides him? Are you happy now? They are no longer together. So, endure the pain that you’re feeling right now.’ A voice that she doesn’t know where it comes from was heard.
‘Get up, my child. Don’t let your emotions ruin your life. Your Mom loves you no matter what you do. I may not be in this world, but I will be watching you, sweetheart. So, get up and take care of yourself as your own child.’
She even heard her mothers words.
Then...
“MOMMY!!!”
For the first time in a week, since her mother was gone, she screamed out loud and ran fast toward the two coffins.
But before she could get closer, she stopped because the dizziness and nuisances attacked at once. Even her eyesight became blurry. The last thing that she can remember is that she sees her step-father smiling to her while extending his hands.
‘Take me with you, Daddy. I can not live without you,’ she uttered before collapsing.
“FCK! UP to the end, you are murmuring my brother,” Romnick angrily said in a voice that he is the only person could hear.
FEW minutes later...
“Marielle, I will not ask anything about them. Since that, my brother confessed to me about it when he visited me in Paris last year. But there is something that I’m concerned about. Will you answer me truthfully?” he asked the nanny of his sister-in-law and her child.
“Are you insinuating about how Senyora knew about them that day, Sir? Or you just can’t accuse me directly that I am the one who disclosed with attorney or my Madam? I’m sorry for my words, Sir. But if I want to do that, it’s been a long time. Since their first day of having an affair when Stephanie was just eighteen years old. Last year, when Senyor Ramil came home after burying their unborn child and travelled to Paris with you. But I didn’t do anything. Why? They are my family. Before he married Senyora Maricar, I’m serving them already for eleven years. And together with them for the total of almost twenty-seven years.”
Marielle’s lengthy statement. Even though she didn’t want to answer it, she felt it was better to be honest.
Romnick wanted to be embarrassed. Because aside from the fact that the person he was talking to hit the nail on the head about what he wanted to say, it turned out that she had known about the two for a long time. That’s why he sincerely apologised. He was the one who made the mistake, so there’s nothing wrong with being humble.
“Please accept my heartfelt apologies, Marielle. I’m sorry for doubting you for a while. But I want to ask you a favour. Since that I can not stay here for a long time. Will you pack your things as well as Stephanie. We will be travelling after the cremation this afternoon. I got permission from the court. That is why everything is in a legal way.”
He explained very well. Just from the nanny’s words, it’s certain that she is telling the truth. So, he is still wondering who betrayed the two.
“Even if you don’t ask, I would still do that, Sir. Because I still want to take care of Stephanie, especially now that Senor and Senora are no longer around. Work and home are the only places she goes. She’s a kind person, Sir. Her only mistake is the relationship with her stepfather. If we all go to Paris, what will happen to their property here? They may not be as wealthy as your family, but all their livelihoods are stable. The house and land? Maybe she is not in good condition right now, but surely when she regains her composure, she’ll face it all.”
Marielle again explains very well. Actually, Mr and Mrs Fuentebella are pretty rich. Not because of the grace bestowed by the royal monarchy of Spain, but they save their earnings for the future of Stephanie. They have millions of euros I different banks.
“As of now, I didn’t decide yet what to do with those wealth. It belongs, Stephanie. That is why you have a right to be concerned about it. Don’t worry, I will come back to fix it personally. But since I’m away for a few days now, that is why we need to travel as well to fix the messes that my absence had caused,” he replied.
‘Surely, I will come back here. But for the reason that I want to know who the traitor is, who betrayed them. I’m sure that it wasn’t you,’ he said in his mind.
PARIS, FRANCE
“WHERE is my fiancée?” Jessica asked disrespectfully to the secretary.
She is furious that she hadn’t seen her fiancée for a week. Yet those bastards couldn’t let her in inside the office.
“Miss Alba, it’s been a week that you are coming back and forth here in Saavedra Company. Within those days, we only have one answer to you. We don’t know where Mr Saavedra went. Please be reasonable, Madam,” the secretary said.
“Stupd! You are the most stupid person on earth! How come that you don’t know where your boss go? Reasonable? You pathetic and lowly secretary is the unreasonable here not me! Why you forbids me in entering the office of my fiancée? Hah! Want and see! You will be the first person who will lose his job when he come back! Idi●t!”
Miss Alba shouted angrily as she walked away from the office. But her mind is working. She is thinking very hard where her beloved boyfriend at the moment.
‘Those guards! Employees! Hah! They are just a merely and lowly insect yet they have a high and mighty loyalty with my boyfriend. He is not around yet all his staff is highly praising and working for him!’
She again clenched her palm because of those thoughts.
