"How ironic life is, isn't it?" Esmeralda whispered.
She separates from me, avoiding looking me in the face. She walks to the exit of the room. She looked sad because of Celia's words. Now I have become the worst of men in her eyes.
"How funny your lover is. She pretends to be hurt because she found out that her beloved lover sleeps with me."
"To tell you the truth, you are very good in bed. You are the best lover."
"Now I understand why the three of us were driven crazy by you. What you have between your legs is not something any man has."
Celia was overstepping all the limits and ending the little patience I had left.
"Shut up!"
"Why should I shut up? Let Lilit know, the fool."
"Let her see with her own eyes the man she has by her side."
"Shut up, damn it!"
Esmeralda hurries to escape from the bedroom. Before she could leave the room.
Celia stops her, holding her arms tightly. She looks at her with hatred, as if she wanted to hit her.
Don't you dare touch her, as I am capable of anything to defend Esmeralda.
"Where are you going, goody-two-shoes?"
"Everyone will know what is happening here."
"Lilit, the fool, will open her eyes once and for all. She will know who her fiance's lover is."
"Let go of me, you're hurting me!" Esmeralda tried to break free from Celia's hands.
However, Celia held her tightly.
"Let you go?! No, pretty mama. You will be exposed to the scandal."
"You will be pointed out by everyone, as this man's lover."
I walk up to them and move Celia away from Esmeralda.
Esmeralda runs out of the room, while Celia and I are left alone.
"Who the hell do you think you are to enter this room like that, and talk to Esmeralda like that?!"
Celia started crying, she looked so pathetic. Like the miserable bitch she is.
She can't even be compared to Esmeralda, she is so different from Lilit and her. Esmeralda is above any woman.
"I've been your lover for two months. I thought you loved me and would leave Lilit standing at the altar for me."
"Now I see that it is not so..."
I grabbed Celia's hands tightly. Her tears are not convenient for me at all.
"Do you really think I would be so stupid as to change a woman like Lilit for a woman like you?"
"Get down from the cloud where you climbed. If I slept with you it was only because I was drunk and the other times I only did it to relieve stress."
"I don't feel anything for you and I never will. Get a grip, I would never set my eyes on the daughter of a servant."
"For me you are less than a prostitute."
Celia breaks free from my hands and slaps me. That makes me angry, I slap her back and she falls to the floor.
The tension inside the bedroom was too intense.
Celia covers her cheek and keeps crying.
"You are a wretch! A little man!"
"No, my love. You know I am a lot of man that's why you look for me. The times we slept together left you obsessed with me."
Without saying anything else, I left the room, closing the bedroom from the outside. For now I must fix the matter of my wedding.
I walked down the hall until I almost reached Lilit's bedroom.
Before arriving, I see Esmeralda very flirtatious with Martin.
She had her hands on that idiot's face, she was about to kiss him. Her red lips brushed his.
I clenched my fists tightly, feeling the desire to break his face. Esmeralda is mine, mine.
I diverted my path and went down the stairs quickly. Arriving to them, I called their attention, coughing.
Even so they didn't pay attention, Esmeralda kissed Martin with the same passion with which she kissed me a moment ago.
"Martin!" I raised my voice so high that it immediately separated Esmeralda from Martin.
"Rogelio, is something wrong?"
"Is Lilit okay?"
Esmeralda begs me with her eyes to calm down. I clenched my fists and tried to control the fire I have inside.
"She is okay..." I said, gritting my teeth.
"Then why are you coming down screaming?"
"You scared me, I thought something had happened to my sister." Added Martin.
"No. Lilit is in perfect condition."
"It's time for us to go to Church. I'm going ahead." I added.
I passed next to Martin, without taking my eyes off Esmeralda. She kept her eyes on the floor, avoiding looking me in the face.
A couple of tears fall from her eyes, to the floor. Then, she passes the tips of her fingers and erases all trace of them.
"We have to go to Church too."
"Let's go, love."
Martin was acting like a man in love, lovingly holding Esmeralda's hand.
At that moment I saw the engagement ring on her finger, which a moment ago was not there.
"Rogelio, is something wrong? You seem too strange." Martin asked me.
"No, it's the nerves of the wedding..."
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?"
"Oh, yes, of course!"
"Esmeralda Monte Avila."
I extended my hand and she takes it, her hand was cold, like an iceberg.
"Where did you meet her?" I kept asking.
"On a business trip to London. She worked as a fast food model."
"It was love at first sight."
"I knew she had a great future as a model and I was not wrong."
"Now she is a very recognized model in her country and in the future all over the world." Martin replies, putting his hand on Esmeralda's waist.
"Are you going to get married?"
"Yes, in two months." Martin confirmed with date and everything.
I felt like I would lose control of my emotions if I didn't leave immediately. I needed to get some fresh air.
"I remembered that I have to tell Lilit something."
"Continue with your thing."
I turned around trying to do something to not marry Lilit and be able to leave with Esmeralda.
"We are going ahead to the Church."
Martin along with Esmeralda walked a few steps to the main door. When suddenly, Esmeralda pretends to twist her ankle.
