Chapter 36

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-25 10:43:11

I don't know why I went inside a nightclub.

I am anxious and losing my sanity because of Signor Suarez's threat. My son should not know the truth behind his estrangement from his mother. I am thankful because I have never heard of my son looking for his mother with me. But if he finds out that his mother died and I killed her, I'm sure he will feel hatred towards me.

I felt the mask I was wearing as I walked through the corridor. I laughed and shook my head because I thought, I don't need to wear this mask because no one knows Eldifonso Madrigal's face.

Even the Wills surely won't remember me being the janitor who lost his job because of what they did. They put the poor workers out of their jobs even though their sales are high.

I am one of those who lost their jobs. I was deeply hurt by what happened and lost hope.

When I remember the time I kneeled in front of Mister Wills, it breaks my heart, and it's like my soul is on fire.

My mother was sick at that time, so I needed that

    If only I could have turned her back to me so she wouldn't leave my lap, I would have done that. But I can't because she is working. Shit! The well-known Eldifonso Suarez was having a boner because of the unknown woman he just knew as Valentina. What gives me a headache now is that she caressed the men on her way back to the stage. I hate it! I feel like I want to bring her away from this place where men feast on her body. Her thighs were moving like Rihanna's were doing. She really is a goddess of this place. I can see how men lust after her. They almost swallowed her with their stares, trying to create scenes in their fucking minds. I can't blame them either, because Valentina is truly seductive. Her sexy body and her smell like freshly picked grapes are addictive. “Oh damn!”She was playing with the peacock's feathers, she let them slide on the back of her hands, arms, armpits, legs, and feet. She next played with the strawberry jam, she took an ample amount using her point f

    My brain stopped functioning when I saw her coming to my table with her hair falling down on the back of her tube dress, covering her fair white skin that was revealed to the crowd while she was performing earlier. I giggled when she sat down beside me. She was staring at me, and her eyes were asking why I let out a soft laugh. I sighed, looking at her. My heart was filled with the desire to touch her tonight. I am really excited about what will happen tonight. “Eli, right?” she asked me, to which I just nodded. “Well, Eli, Sabrina told me that you paid a lot to have me. What do you want to happen?” There was a tone in her tone that surprised me. I poured whiskey into the small glass and immediately drank the alcoholic beverage. I let go of the hot air, releasing the little tension I have. “Uhm. Valentina, you know what? I am eager to share a night with you. That's what I want. That's what every man here wants.*“They just stare at me because they can't have me. But you? You are

    When we were inside the room, I sat on the sofa. I let her walk around the room. She was wondering why someone like me could afford this expensive room. “Who are you really, Eli? I've only seen you now in my whole life. You're rich, but you weren't mentioned in the news and magazines where rich people are usually flexed.”I shook my head and stood up, crossing my arms while my eyes were stuck at her waist. “Is it necessary when you're rich to be in the news and in every corner where the names of rich people are posted?”“Eli, that's the way of America! Especially here in Austin, TX. You know that the people who live here are greedy for fame, right?”I scratched my nose because of what Valentina said. It's like she has many personalities that surprise me. When Signor Suarez was training me to pretend to be his grandson, he also taught me how to avoid questions I didn't know the answer to. He said that I should ask back so that the person I'm talking to won't notice me. “You, are

    When I got home to the mansion, I immediately went to my son's room. I slowly opened the door and immediately peeked at him. He was lying on his side, hugging his Stitch teddy bear. He was really good-looking, like his mother. I came to his bed. I sat next to him and held his little face, feeling his smooth and soft skin. Signor Suarez's threat was haunting my mind. My son would probably hate me if he found out the truth. While I was staring at him, I didn't realize that I was in tears. “Son, I did that because your mommy already knew about my illegal business. Yes, I told her that I will keep you away from her when she gives birth to you, but it's all my words. If only she wasn't a threat to our safety, to my business, and in your future, you would probably be with her.”He moved his lips, making me smile even though my eyes didn't stop producing tears. I can't handle my son rebelling against me when he finds out what I did to his mother. If he finds out what really happened t

    I went straight to my office after I delivered Amia and Foval to the learning center. I sat on the swivel chair and turned it around. I was thinking about what Amia said to me earlier. “Me? Loving Valerie? It's crazy!”I just admit to myself that she is beautiful, sexy, and smart. But I can't love the daughter of the people who ruined my life and caused me to lose the only family I have. No matter how many times I die, they will not be forgiven, and I will never forget that family. What they did to me is the reason why I experienced eating leftover food thrown in the trash and eating food spat on by people who don't know kindness. There's no reason to love the fruit of the sinful roots. I stood up and grabbed a bottle of tequila from the double-door fridge in my office. I opened the bottle and poured an amount of alcohol into the glass. I immediately drank the tequila and gasped for air. It was bitter and bold; it felt like it kicked my stomach. “I was jealous of Martin,” I said

    Shaking with nervousness, I let go of the curtain. I headed to the living room. I noticed that there was no water there, and only the whiskey is something to be used to water my throat, that the staff was sure to bring here a few minutes before I came. I opened it and drank its contents as if it were just water. I hated her family, I swore that I would never fall for Wills' daughter. But fuck! I fell for her. I know that she introduced herself as Valentina to me, but she is still her, my wife that I killed with my own hands. After I put down the almost empty bite of whiskey on the table, I felt my cheek that was covered with teardrops.How did my wife survive? Before I threw him to Martin wherever he threw him, I made sure that he was really dead. I must be mistaken. Maybe she and Valerie really do look alike. It is impossible for a dead person to come back to life, but if she were my wife, I would be glad so that I could rewrite my mistakes.Out of curiosity, I stared at the powd

    A few nights passed when Valentina completely cut our ties. She said that the meeting between the two of us will lead nowhere. If I could wear my mask earlier so that she would know that I am her husband, you would have done it. But I hesitated doing that because if she finds out that I and Eldifonso are one, she might get scared and hide again. Yes, she said that we would never see each other again. But I will do everything to always see her. I know that she is my wife, that I did wrong before, that I was angry because of her parents, that I didn't give even a little love to, and that I didn't take care of her despite her love for me. I reached for the half-full bottle of whiskey and poured a small amount into a small glass. I drank the alcohol and sighed after, looking at the dark sky with just a few stars twinkling for it. “Daddy, I can't sleep,” my son said from behind. I put the glass on the table and turned to him. He came to me carrying his Stitch teddy bear. I bent down

    Martin and I walked back and forth, but we didn't find a skeleton in the place where he dumped Valerie's body. It gave me hope; she was still alive. I looked at the piece of heaven I glimpsed when I looked up under the big trees. “Martin, Valentina is Valerie. My hope grew stronger because there was no skeleton here to prove that she was dead.”“Yes, sir. Ma'am Valerie is still alive. We can even change our mistakes towards her. I can apologize to her after I brought her to this place.”I smiled bitterly. “She will forgive you immediately, Martin. My wife knows that you only did that to her because of my order. It was visible to her that you are loyal to me, so she won't hold a grudge against you; she will definitely be angry with me!”“She loves you, sir.”I turned my gaze to Martin and nodded. “I know. But I'm sure that she has had different feelings for me through the years. And I can't blame her if she hates me that much again.” My tears rolled down my face. I turned to the ot

    I was looking at my son, studying his actions towards his father. He took a slice of pizza and gave it to Eldifonso, who was carrying him on his lap. “Oh, you're so sweet, son. Are you doing that with your crush?”Foval was trying to control his lips to create a curve, but his face was red, showing that he was affected by what his father said. It made me feel more envious, witnessing how Foval was comfortable with Eldifonso and how much time they spent together. “Don't mention it, dad. You're making me embarrassed,” he said, taking another slice of pizza, but this time he gave it to me. “Thanks, son. Why you're embarrassed. All men have a crush.” I slightly looked at Eldifonso. “I know someone who has a lot of women, son. Don't wear his shoes if you grow up, alright?” “Son, don't listen to anything people say to you. Some people intended to destroy another people's image for their own benefit.”Foval looks at his father. “Daddy, is mommy telling you that you have a lot of crushes

    It feels like I was in the solar system, and soon my whole being would be swallowed by the black hole, which was waiting for something to devour. I'm lost in the passing, yet I have to remind myself of my goal—revenge for myself. My heart was hard as rock for those people who hurt me, and I will never give a piece of pity and forgiveness to them. They tore me into pieces, shattered my heart, and became the reason why my soul wasn't holding back to avenge myself to all of them.If life has a rest day, I would take it, even if it's just a few days. I want to go somewhere with my son, away from other people who always pull me back to the worse past I have, and if I've recharged my strengths, I would haunt them again with my hateful comeback. I love Eli, but he seemed to be one of them, making me do things that I don't want to.My phone rang, catching my attention, pulling my hand in its direction. I sniffed, holding back the sound of sadness and anger in me."Hello?”“Baby, how are you?”

    I let a few sighs escape from my lungs. I massaged my neck and immediately got up from my bed. Knocks from the door pushed me to stand up and go towards the door to open it for whoever is behind it. “Auntie?! G-Good morning,” I said, covering my mouth because I grabbed a few bottles of tequila last night from his wine storage after I swam in the pool. “Sweetie, you have visitors.”My eyes narrowed, trying to remember if there were people I expected to visit me. As far as I remember, I don't accept visitors at auntie's mansion because of my respect for her, and I don't have many friends either. Even Eli, my boyfriend, didn't expect him to come here today. Foval entered my mind, so I smiled at auntie. “Oh, auntie, is my son here? Damn. How can I face him when I'm like this? My hair is messy, and I still smell like tequila.”“Sweetie, it's not Foval.”“Auntie, if it wasn't Foval who would visit me and Eli, I wouldn't have expected anyone else. Apparently I never invited anyone to come

    I moved around on top of the bed, looking at what position could make me fall asleep. Until this late night, Eli's words can't get out of my mind. I thought of him as a shallow man who only wanted to get the things he wanted through money, but he became someone who became deep.I decided to just head to the pool, and as usual, I'm carrying a bottle of tequila going there. I sat on the edge of the pool and gently dipped my two feet in the water, asking it to take all the anxiety that's bothering me.My feet were playing with the water while my hands were busy preparing for a drink to savor in my mouth.When I have the goblet in my hand, I put it beside me, sighing out of frustration that enslaved me.I heard footsteps approaching me. When I turned to see who it was, I saw auntie's feet. She sat next to me and immediately dipped her feet in the water.“What bothers you, sweetie?”“It's the situation that I have, auntie. Eli told me to forgive Eldifonso. But it's hard for me to do that.

    He was leaning on his car, looking at the sun that colored the sky orange. It was beautiful to stare at, but what's more beautiful is the love that I have for Eli. Even if others told me that he was not true to me, hiding his agenda from me, and doing something that would probably be a dirty one, I didn't think about that. He's someone I can talk to and who is comfortable to open up everything that I keep inside my heart.I don't care if he was the notorious villain or if he was the Hades of today, because he shows me the love and care that no one does. He said his words from his heart, even though sometimes I can't seem to accept them or be ready to hear them.“Why do you often bring me here, Eli?”“A rich woman like you is fed up with restaurants and other prestigious places to have a date at, Valerie. Another one, it is better here because rarely anyone goes here. I will only stare at you the whole time I want. Because I don't want someone else staring at you.”I stood up and looke

    Foval was on the front of the crowd, cheering for me and his evil father, who was with me inside the sack. I was quiet, but Eldifonso kept shouting, claiming that we would win this sack race. “Me and my wife will win in this game!” he said loudly and proudly. “Eldifonso, can you please shut your mouth?”“Calm down, my wife. I will win this fight for you and for Foval,” he whispered to me. “Do whatever you want, but don't shout about it as if we're happy as a married couple. Don't you feel awkward?”“Awkward? I feel happy, Val. Look at us; we are inside the sack, close to each other, like we were under the same blanket.”He was too close to me to the extent that I sometimes feel the bulge in his pants whenever he faces the crowd on the right side. “You're the only one who's happy,” I whispered, gripping to the end of the sack. Why doesn't the game just start so that it ends immediately? “The rules of the game are only one; the couple that falls cannot continue to the finish line,

    I was standing beside the pillar on the veranda of my room, holding the phone on my head, talking with my son, and looking at the moon that was trying to free herself from the clouds covering her light.“Mommy, when are you coming home to the mansion? I want to be with you, and daddy said he wants you back too. You should stay here with us so that we will be complete and a happy family.”I sighed. My son doesn't know what's going on around him; he wants me to go back to the mansion where I got so traumatized. Honestly, I can't imagine myself ever stepping foot in that place. That mansion was like a haunted house; I was haunted by my own dark past there. “Baby, let it go, and tomorrow I will talk to your daddy, I will tell him that we need to have an agreement about you.”“Mommy, I want you here with us.”Not even now, but I know that the time will come when my son understands the situation. My son is smart, and I have full confidence that he will understand why his father and I are s

    We walked along the beach, holding each other's hands as if we didn't want this moment to end. Sometimes I lean my head on his shoulder as I feel him kiss the top of my head. “I can be a father to your child, Valerie. I promise that I can be the best father to him and the best husband to you. We can create our family away from people who are causing you stress.”“A while ago you were lifting your own chair, Eli Madrigal. You really can't wait to be told the good things others see in you. You always want everything to be fast.”“Don't tell me; you will tell me again that I am somehow similar to Eldifonso Suarez because of the way I behave. I am different from him and what he's doing. I am Eli Madrigal, the lover boy!”I giggled, listening to his words. Our footprints were following us, a lovers mark on the first date they had where they talked about the future and plans they wanted to share with each other. My heart is rejoicing out of every step that we take together, forgetting the

    The lights are flashing before my eyes, capturing every detail inside the bar. Eli Madrigal was holding his bottle of beer, staring at the dance floor, where there were some women who occasionally stared at him and laughed, showing motives to him. I rolled my eyes, thinking bad about those filthy and bitchy women. I thought of going to them and slapping them one by one to wake them up from their fantasies. Eli cleared his throat and looked at me. “What's with the long face and one raised brow, Valentina? I thought we were here to have fun because your life is such a mess?”“Yes, Eli. But I still want a commotion because of what you're doing,” I said. I laugh at myself; I'm jealous even though Eli is not my boyfriend. He's not doing anything either, but I feel like he's flirting with the women here at the bar. “What am I doing besides just standing here and accompanying you while you're quiet there and all of a sudden your mood changes?”“Oh, really? Is that all you did?” I asked h
