Emeliano's pov

   The rate at which my heart was hitting my chest, was not a healthy one, but I choose to remain balanced and firm, I won't let his presence intimidate me. No... Never.

"What you did out there was rather unprofessional... If my assistant refuse to let you in, she had reasons."

Rafael fumed, making purposeful steps to me, but stopped just right in front of me.

"Oh spare me! I will come see you whenever ever I feel like It! As long as it has something to do with one of my daughters." He bit out... All I did was stare at him while he kept on trying to kill me with his hard looks. "You have Rebecca. Let her go."

"Hmmm... Really? I find that odd, are you just finding out that Rebecca's missing? Or you just decided to care now?"

"Let her go! My daughter doesn't have anything to do with you and your fucked up life! And she's probably scared out of the world right now." Rafael muttered.

"Scared? Trust me, she's far from scared... Why don't you-"

In a blink of an eye, he pulled at my shirt. "Listen to me you scumbag! I need my daughter! Let Rebecca go, or you'll regret the consequences!"

"Rebecca doesn't want to have anything to do with you... She's with me now... So you can let go of my shirt and get the fuck out of my company!"

He glared straight into my eyes before releasing my shirt from his grip, sniffing and straightening his worn out suit.

"You think you've won... But we both know that I have the power to take Rebecca from you."

I gulped down hard, knowing he was right, but I refused to show him how much his words affected me.

Rafael gave a crook smile. "You think she'd still want to be with you when she finds out about what you did? You think she'd want to look at you? Or even be in the same room as you?"

He said in a taunting manner, making my walls break down immediately.

"I didn't do anything! You- you made me do it! You manipulated me, I didn't want to do it."

"But you did it. That's all that matters... Only you and I knows what really happened that night... Only you and I can reveal the secret.... let Rebecca go or I tell... Choose."

I blinked severally, raking my hands through my hair as confusion designed my thoughts with confusion.

"You can't do that... You're a greedy pig Rafael! I won't let you manipulate me again! I won't let you use me for your stupid plans! I know you really don't want Rebecca! You have no good intentions for her cause your heart is as fucking black as the word black! I won't let you ruin her life like you ruined mine... I'll protect her from you!"

Rafael scoffed. "From me? You'll protect her from me? Her father? The only person Rebecca needs protection from, is you! You are bound to hurt her, and the more you carry her along with the thought of having a better relationship with you, the more she's going to loathe you, when she finally finds out about everything."

I went quiet for a while.

"She doesn't have to know." Rafael spoke into the silence. "Just let her go, I promise to protect her from the truth, and from you."

"No. That's not gonna happen," I retorted. "I'm not stupid Rafael! I know you, and I know you have a reason for coming here to say these things! What are your inner motives."

"Must there have to be, inner motives? I just want to get to know my daughter!"

"She hates you."

"And she will hate you also, when I tell her everything."

My hands were folded into fists as I tried to remain calm. He had a point. I don't even want to imagine Rebecca's reaction when she finds out... There's no stopping her this time, I won't even try because I knew how much I deserved her every bit of hate.

"I can't let her go... She'd never want to leave me, and I can't tell her... And you- don't tell her, she'll be broken, she-"

"She'd be safe from you. Don't you see it Emeliano! You're broken and you're trying to pull Rebecca into your messed up life... You're trying to break her too... Why don't you just soften the future blow by fixing the present? Let her go."

I shook my head as his words unwillingly settled inside my brain. "No, no... I won't... I don't care what you do... I won't fall for this shit again... I don't care if you tell her or not and even if you do, I'll try to explain myself to her, and there's an eighty percent chance that she'd forgive me."

"What makes you think so?" Rafael asked with a sly smile.

"She's not like you... She's different. She's good, better than you or your other kids could ever be. She's kind hearted and Sweet, exactly the opposite of you!"

"Is that what you think?"

"No... It's what I see."

Rafael scoffed and took a step forward, looking directly into my eyes in a challenging way. "I'm giving you a week. If you don't let her go, I'll tell her everything... And if she still chooses to stay with you, have it in mind that I would make it my everyday mission to tear you both apart, cause as long as I'm alive... I will never ever rest till I separate the both of you. Have a good day," He patted my shoulder before saying. "My boy."

With that, he left my office.

I finally released a harsh breath, almost like I was being choked to death earlier.

I was wrong... This wasn't over.

It was just beginning.
