-What?
-Tell me, between Umberto and me, who do you choose? -Miguel had asked casually, but seeing her stupefied look, he repeated.
Camilo was shocked and helpless.
“Why are you asking me such a convoluted and boring question?”
“One is my brother and the other my friend, how can I choose?”
-The decision is in Albina’s hands, so it is useless for you to ask me.
-I’m your own brother! -Miguel gave him a sidelong glance.
-To be fair…
As soon as these words came out, Miguel interrupted him:
-That’s enough. Go away and don’t bother me.
Camilo was still a little confused when he threw him out of the room:
-My God! What a difficulty to choose!
Miguel listened to him, “I shouldn’t have asked this question to this fool.”
For three days, Miguel had been locked in his house, and the people Umberto had sent there had not gotten any useful information.
At last Michael’s father’s birthday arrived. When Albina had put on her makeup, dressed nicely, and was ready to go out, she got a call from Miguel.
-I’m sorry, I have something to do and I can’t come and pick you up….. -Miguel said guiltily.
-You’re welcome,” Albina answered.
“Today is your father’s birthday and you must have a lot to do.”
-I’m going to ask someone to pick you up.
-That’s not necessary. Give me the address.
After hanging up the phone, Ariana looked at the address sent by Miguel and frowned:
-Albina, how do you get there?
-Taking a cab,” Albina said and prepared to hail a cab.
-Are you sure? If you meet Yolanda, it will be very humiliating.
-All right! -Albina smiled, “Even if I go there in a limo, she’ll still look down on me. If we don’t leave soon we’ll be late.
-Okay.
The address of the banquet was at the villa on the hill, and Albina sat in the car, while calmly watching the luxury cars go by.
-Miss, are you sure the address is correct? -The driver looked at her frequently in the rearview mirror.
-Yes, keep driving -Albina had a nice make-up and her beauty was unbelievable.
The driver calmed down and continued driving finally to the villa of Familia Aguila.
She got out of the cab and looked at the multitude of luxury cars already parked in front of her, and compared to these, the one behind her was very unbecoming.
-Who is she? Why did she come here in a cab?
-This woman looks so pretty!
Would it be a poor woman trying to come here to find a rich husband?
There were a few women whispering beside her.
But she walked quietly toward the entrance.
Emma had arrived early and as she was about to enter, she heard what people were saying, so she followed their gaze and at last saw Albina. She almost exclaimed in surprise.
This person, how could she be here?
“How did she come here, isn’t she dead?”
Emma rubbed her eyes hard and stared at Albina.
“It is indeed her!”
Albina was wearing a sexy dress that showed off her perfect figure to the fullest, with snow-white skin that glowed under the light.
Her makeup was well done and accentuated her beauty.
Emma watched her approach, looking into her enchanting eyes.
“Not only is Albina alive, but even her eyes have been healed. If Yolanda knew, she would be absolutely furious.”
She hurried to call Yolanda, who at that moment, was sitting in the car angrily.
Since she and Umberto had become engaged, they had not attended an important occasion together. Today she wanted to go with him to celebrate Raul’s birthday, but he turned her down.
Umberto had even gone to the party alone, giving her no chance.
When her phone rang, Yolanda saw it was Emma, so she answered:
-Tell me.
Looking at Albina’s figure, she said:
-Yolanda, I saw Albina at the entrance of the banquet.
-Who? -Yolanda did not react for a moment, because for her, Albina was already a dead person. When she heard Emma mention her, she was still a little confused.
-Albina, Umberto’s ex-wife! -Emma repeated anxiously.
-She’s not dead? -Yolanda was surprised.
-Not only is she not dead, but her eyes are healed! -Emma looked anxious. Did she come here to take revenge?
Yolanda snapped, suddenly remembering that Umberto had already gone to the banquet.
“If the two of them should meet at this moment…”
“The consequences will be unthinkable!”
He hastened to order the driver:
-Faster! He’ll be here in ten minutes!
-Yes!” the driver immediately accelerated.
Yolanda picked up the phone again and said:
-Emma, you have to stop her from entering the compound, as well as not letting her see Umberto.
She hung up the phone at once, looking out the window at the scenery.
“Fuck, Albina’s so lucky she didn’t die falling into the river!”
Staring at the hung up phone, Emma felt very torn.
“I dare not mess with Yolanda nor Albina. The scene earlier in the restaurant, when the group was punished by Umberto, I remember it now.”
“But if I don’t follow Yolanda’s words, she won’t let me go either.”
“Whatever, I’ll do what she says!”
-You, stop!
Albina heard a delicate cry behind her, for it was not Yolanda’s voice.
She turned her head and saw a girl in a blue dress staring at her, as if she knew her:
-Who are you?
Emma took a deep breath and turned to her.
As she got closer, she could see her more clearly and felt that she was so beautiful with a pair of lovely eyes.
All the men around her seemed to be fascinated by her.
Although he had already seen Albina in the restaurant, she seemed to have dull eyes due to her blindness.
She was already very pretty in normal clothes and without makeup, let alone now.
If Umberto saw her like this, he wouldn’t be able to forget her even more.
-Here’s a private party, do you have an invitation? -Emma was aggressive, looking at Albina’s pretty little face, she felt a little jealous.
-An invitation? -Albina replied, “Well, I don’t have one.
Miguel had said he was coming to pick her up, so he didn’t give her an invitation.
Emma breathed a sigh of relief at these words and was even more certain that she must have heard that Umberto would be attending the banquet, so she deliberately came looking for him.
-Not only do you have no invitation, but you call a cab to come. You are so cheeky. Go away or I’ll ask security to throw you out,” he said sarcastically.
