CHAPTER FIVE

Emeliano's POV

"Fire all of them!"

My voice was audible enough for all the men in my office to hear, I could see that they were all shivering and scared. This is exactly what my presence does to people.

Some people. A voice in my head echoed, and so help me god, that voice was speaking the truth... Rebecca Lewis, the daughter of that scumbag who I loathe so much.

I had to admit, at first when I saw Rebecca, I thought she was Her, the striking resemblance of those two still baffled me till this day... Any time I looked at Rebecca, I saw the eyes of the woman who captured my heart in her hands and squeezed it till it was dust.

The woman who I almost sacrificed everything for.

The woman who still had my heart in her palms.

Yesterday, when Rebecca stood up to me, I saw the same fire in her eyes, I saw the same attitude, not exactly the same though- Rebecca was more meek than Her.

But still, I can't help but see her in Rebecca... I guess I still held a grudge on the Lewis' and that was why I was taking it out on the poor church girl...

I looked up on Rebecca Lewis, every single little thing about her. I knew that Raphael had another daughter, but I'd never met her.

I knew holding Rebecca down was not entirely necessary, but I don't know why I did it, all I wanted was revenge, all I wanted was to see Raphael beg to get his daughter back, all I wanted was to punish the both of them, by making Rebecca suffer.

The poor girl shouldn't have gotten down from that friggin taxi, now she'll have to pay for the sins of her loved ones.

I'll go through with my punishments, I'll make sure Rebecca Lewis loses all the pride in her, I'll break her family by breaking her.

But what if they don't really care about her? Wouldn't that be unjust?

"Sir..."

It doesn't matter, all that matters is that I would finally get my revenge and it would be a smooth one.

"Sir?"

She'll never see it coming, she broke my heart into thousands of tiny pieces that wer difficult to pick up... She destroyed me, made me cut all ties with my family- she used me, but now, now, I'll finally get my payback.

"Sir, are you alright?"

Taking her father's company wasn't enough, this time- this time I would take revenge on his daughter- I'll make sure he doesn't do shit about it!

"Sir?"

Rebecca Lewis, there was something different about her, something challenging, I knew it wouldn't be easy to endure these 14 days with her, but I also know her in a kind of way, she was a church girl, the kind who believed in -marriage- before- sex... She was a kind of girl who wouldn't let anyone over ride her, she was strong willed and determined- but that was all on the outside...

On the inside, she was just like Her, soft like pillows, a naive angel who does good things, it was really going to be easy to break her..

"Sir."

But would that sate my thirst for revenge? Would destroying the life of an innocent woman stop me from loving Her? Will I ever stop loving her?

"MR. EMELIANO!"

I jumped at the sound of someone yelling my name. I turned to glare at the men Infront of me.

"What are you all still doing in my office?! I told you to fire them all! I don't like the way my stocks are decreasing-"

"Sir it's just a quarter percent decrease- it may be due to the-"

I stood up immediately, making the man halt in the middle of his sentence. "Quarter percent? you say it like it's nothing! I do not want to lose a single dollar, I need you to fire. Them. All."

"Sir, they are over 40 workers, they have families- I'm pretty sure it was a simple misunderstanding." The man dared to say- his voice was still shaky.

I nodded my head thoughtfully and stared at the five most trusted men I had in my organization. "OK, why don't we do it this way-" I straightened my suit. "Fire all of them, and while you're at it- you all can fire yourselves, I don't want to see your faces in my company- in fact, any of my companies. Now. Get. Out."

Their eyes widened in shock as they looked at each other... "But sir-"

"One more word and you all will never ever get any job interview till you're six feet under." I threatened- meaning everything I said, I had the power to do that, trust me.

They showed themselves out of my office as they murmured within themselves, still shaking in fear.

When they left, I called my secretary. "Piper, my office, Now!"

Within seconds, she came rushing in. "Yes sir." She said.

"I need to you recruit 50 workers from our New York branch, make sure they can work tomorrow-"

"Yes, sir." She turned to leave.

"Wait."

"Yes sir?"

"Any news about her?"

"Not really sir, the men following her reported that she just went shopping with her fiance." Piper said.

Anger pumped widely through my veins.

"Does she know about Rebecca?" I asked Piper.

"Not yet sir, she spent the night at her fiance's apartment, I'm pretty sure if she goes back to the Lewis estate, she'd know about it." Piper said.

"OK... Get back to work."

"Yes sir." Piper turned to leave.

"Wait." I stopped her again, I heard her groan a little, but I decided to ignore it.

"Yes, sir?"

"Not a word about my recent doings to my mom or Diego... Or I'll kill you- I promise." I said, trying to sound as strict as possible- but I knew she'll never take it seriously.

"Sure sir." She turned to leave again.

"Wait." I called again.

She turned slowly and as hard as she tried to hide the obvious glare on her face, it was impossible.

"Yes, sir." She said the 'sir' with gritted teeth.

"Nothing... You may leave." I said, raising my brow in a sly way as she groaned louder this time and left, slamming the door harshly on her way out.

I let out a light chuckle...

So here's the thing- Piper and I were what you could consider as buddies, she was in a relationship with my best friend, Diego, and sometimes, we all would hang out at my mom's house or at Piper's apartment, well, sometimes.

Piper was being all respective and all because she lost to a bet.

She'll have to be all assistant ish, for a month or else, she'd give up all her photos of Jensen Ackles; and I knew Piper a lot, she wouldn't give up her collection even if a knife was to her throat.

In all, Piper was a friend who advised me millions of times to leave the Lewis' alone.

But it was impossible, my heart still aches for her... The woman who stole my hard cold heart, the woman who made me open up to the world...

I knew that no matter what happened, I'll never forget her, even though she gets married and forget all about me, I would never forget her, the woman who captured my heart only to crush it.
