CHAPTER 3

It was Roberto.

"What the fuck are you doing to her?" Roberto said, visibly angry. "I just warned her, brother, no need to get man.." he said calmly, letting go of me, "She needs to know her place..."

Then, he walks out of the kitchen without looking back. Such an asshole..

Roberto approaches me and pulls me into a tight hug, "Are you okay, beautiful?"

"Yeah.. I'm fine, Roberto.." I say with a sigh. "I'm sorry.. But you'll have to deal with him from now on, sweetheart.."

Wait.. What? What does that mean?!

"What do you mean?.." I say quietly. Please tell me it's not what i think it is..

"I talked with my parents and they agreed to let you live with us, you'll have a room upstairs.. Next to Alberto.. That's the only room left..." he explains.

Fuck.. That's definitely not what i wanted. "Why can't I stay in the same room as you?"

"My parents are strict when it comes to that... Plus my room isn't big enough for two people." He placed his rough hand on my cheek, "I'm sorry, Crystal.."

Roberto was helping me moving into the mansion. I will probably have a hard time staying here..

Minutes later, he manages to carry all my luggage up to my room. "Done, sweetheart. I'll let you unpack everything. When you're done, just come downstairs." he says, kissing my cheek before leaving me alone in the dark room.

I sigh and i began unpacking my luggage. There were mostly clothes and make-up, so i'll have a hard time sorting all of these out.

"You were lucky Roberto came.. Or i would've crushed that little skull of yours right there and then" Alberto said, leaning against the doorframe.

I stand up from the cold floor and turn around to face him, "What's your problem? You still didn't get over the break-up?"

He narrowed his eyes, "It's not that.. I'm surprised you managed to trick my brother with your unmatched beauty. Don't worry.. he's going to see how bad of a girlfriend you are"

I cross my arms, "I've done nothing wrong to him or to you when we were together. Just drop the act and say straightforward that you regret the break-up." I roll my eyes and turn around, "Even though you do, I would never make the same mistake by getting into a relationship with you."

"You left me-" I cut him off, "I got abducted and forced to do it, damn it! Stop bringing the same old reason for our break-up over and over again." I take a deep breath to calm myself down. "Just leave.. I've got work to do."

Alberto clenched his fists, but didn't say anything anymore and finally left.
