In the billionaire’s bed - Season 1 - Episode 130

“Sit.” I said, still not looking up. It was her. It was Rebecca, I knew it… The tense silence in the office could be felt from every angle.
My fingers refused to stop typing rubbish, I needed something else to concentrate on. something except Rebecca… The new version of Rebecca.
“I’m beginning to think you’re not actually doing anything on that laptop.” Her voice halted my stupid attempt to not look at her, my fingers paused, my whole body went stiff. I gulped down, fighting the urge to not let my eyes move to her direction.
Come on Emeliano… You can only hate her to face her… But how the hell is that possible? I can’t even- I can’t-
“Emeliano?”
“Stick to the last names please. Miss Lewis.”
Lewis! She was one of them… As evil as they all are! She betrayed me, used me… Just like Camilla did, just like Rafael. She- she lied to me- but- I can’t- arghhhhh….
To hell with this! I forced my eyes to focus on her.

Big mistake.
It all came running back to me… The memories, that night… Everything.
It was that moment I realized I was done for. It was that moment I knew I wouldn’t be able to hate this woman in front of me… She had eaten her way too deep into my heart, it was going to be difficult to hate her, it would be difficult to pretend to hate her. I knew it.
She looked different, just like she did that night. With classy make up and styled hair.
Her eyes wasn’t giving away any emotions whatsoever. It was just blank. Empty of anything. Of everything.
“Now that I’ve got your attention.” She said, reaching into her purse and bringing out a file. “We have a meeting with the overseer of this case, tomorrow… It’s like a dinner meeting, he wanted it to be a peaceful one. I guess it was because of the history-”
“It can never be a peaceful meeting, Miss Lewis. Your family is trying to steal my company, give me a reason why I shouldn’t hire a very good assassin to finish this rivalry once and for all.”

A sly smile kicked up at the corner of her lips, the kind I’d never seen before. “You can’t do that… No violence… It was all in the paper I made you sign… You try anything? You’re leaving with absolutely nothing.”
“This is outrageous.”
“Yeah, you should have read the file before signing. Mr. Alfredo.” She glared, throwing the file on the table. “I expect you to be early… If you want this case to be in your favor. which I know, it won’t. ” She closed her purse.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Do I really have to explain that to you now? Can’t your dumb brain pick up what really is going on here?”
“No it can’t, cause my dumb brain can’t help but want to strangle the life out of you right here.”
She chuckled, one that didn’t reach her eyes. “Well, you can only imagine. You never really learn. Not everything you see is what it is.” She stood up. “It was nice having this agonizing conversation with you… Hope you make it to the dinner on time… The address is all in there.”
“What makes you think I’ll come?”
She paused. “I know you will.” Her eyes lingered on mine a little too long before she finally looked away. Walking out of my office.
She was right… That was really an agonizing conversation.

“I seriously still can’t believe it… I refuse to believe it.” Diego said, taking a swig if his beer.

“Me too… It just feels so sudden. Don’t you think? I mean… It could all be some kind of plan to get Rafael out of the picture.” Piper added.
“Plan? If it was really a plan, she’d have told me, at least… Maybe an hint or something. I don’t think it’s a plan.” I said.

“Well, I for one, don’t think Rebecca would hurt you this way… She’s not evil… And she really didn’t have any connection with Rafael, it she had, I would have known you kidnapped the girl I went to college with.” Diego said.
“Yeah, and it could also mean that she only befriended you because she knew you were friends with me… She didn’t tell you anything because it was all planned by her and her f----d up family.” I suggested.
“No… I know Rebecca. Listen to me Emeliano. She’s nothing like what she is now… I’m betting a hundred percent that she is trying to permanently take Rafael out of the picture.” Diego said.
“Me too.” Piper nodded. “Yeah, I spoke to Rebecca few days before the party… I told her that Rafael came to see you… And she told me she had a plan. I’m guessing this is the plan.”
“So why didn’t she tell me? Why is Mason here? Why is she acting like Marcos and Camilla are the only ones she has ever cared about? Huh?”
“I don’t have a theory for that.” Diego murmured.
“It could as well be a part of the plan.” Piper suggested.
“No, that’s just stupid… If this was really planned by her? Then it’s absolutely stupid… you can’t just do that to someone.” I said.
“I agree with you on that. But- you have to have a little faith… Don’t you think?” Piper asked.
“Faith? I don’t think I can. She has broken me to the last, and I seriously don’t want to keep thinking of her… I need to find a way to save my company.”

“I’ve got an idea.” Diego said. “I know Rebecca. she might put up a strong front to get her message pass… But- if there’s something I know quite well, then it’s the fact that, she hates when things backfires at her. There’s only one way to find out if this is really an act.”
“What are you insinuating?” I asked, not getting his point.
Diego smiled before speaking.
“You, my friend are going to get a date to that dinner meeting.”
