When Yolanda entered the villa, at a glance she saw Umberto in the crowd, so she was approaching him with a sweet smile.
The person who was talking to him, when he saw Yolanda approaching, moved out of the way.
The smile on Yolanda’s face became even sweeter as she walked beside him and tried to grab his arm.
Umberto turned slightly to the side, grabbing a glass of wine from a waiter, so he avoided Yolanda’s hand directly.
She was a little embarrassed, but luckily no one had noticed the scene.
-Umberto, why don’t you go with me?
Umberto seemed indifferent as he took a sip of wine:
-Sorry, Mr. Eagle and I have something to do.
Sensing his perfunctory attitude, he held back his anger:
-Can you respect me? I am your fiance.
Hearing these words, Umberto looked back at her and replied with more indifference:
-I am engaged to you because you forced me for saving my life. I said I don’t like you, but you said you could bear it, didn’t you?
Umberto and Yolanda stood in a discreet position, but both of them were the center of attention of the party, so many people looked towards them.
Besides, Albina was alive, she felt crisis in her heart.
Then she exhaled deeply and softened her voice:
-It’s my fault. I’m too greedy because I like you so much.
Umberto felt uncomfortable in his heart. A year ago he had threatened her with suicide to get her to commit, and now he was using this as a reason to like her.
Yolanda was too domineering.
-I’m sorry, I don’t love you,” Umberto let go of her hand.
She was devastated and looked at him incredulously:
-Am I so unattractive?
-It’s not that you’re unattractive, it’s that I’m not interested in you.
-You… -She hadn’t expected him to speak so bluntly, and her eyes turned red with anger.
Emma had approached to talk to Yolanda, but when she heard this, she felt surprise and walked away quickly.
They had known each other since they were children. Apart from Camilo and Santiago, Umberto didn’t care about anyone.
When they were little, Yolanda had saved Umberto from the fire fire, and she always asked him for help when she ran into something. So Emma thought he was a little in love with her before.
But Umberto’s words really surprised her. It turned out that Umberto’s past kindness to Yolanda was based on the kindness of saving her life.
-Do you still love her Albina? It’s been a year, why can’t you forget her? -his words came out angrily.
Looking at the glass in his hand, it occurred to Umberto the three years he had spent with Albina.
He thought that after so long he had forgotten her, but these clear memories told him he had not.
-Yes, I love her very much.
When Yolanda heard these words, she felt lost.
A year ago, she could tell that Umberto was in love with Albina, and she thought that without this obstacle, she could like him.
So he sent David to kill her, and finally she disappeared for a whole year.
During that year, she tried by all means to approach Umberto, trying to impress him, but he gave her no chance, always avoiding her. She barely saw him nor could she say anything every time they met.
And now, before Umberto could fall in love with her, Albina was back.
She was full of hatred, her eyes red-rimmed.
And then Umberto looked at her and said seriously:
-Yolanda, let’s break the engagement, okay? I can’t give you love, nor ease. Find someone you like, so you can be happier.
Yolanda raised her head fiercely:
-You want to break the engagement!
The man in front of her was very excellent, but his look was extremely indifferent.
-Yes,” Umberto answered directly, although now was not the occasion to talk about such things. I can tell the public that it’s my fault, apart from that, I can offer you compensation and leave you three projects.
Yolanda’s body trembled as she saw him pronounce cruel words:
-No, I don’t agree. If you regret the marriage, I’m going to….
-Are you going to kill yourself? -He interrupted her, “You’ve been lying in a hospital bed for three years, but you’ve always taken good care of your body and cherished your life. This time, I won’t care. I’m going to pay for saving my life in other ways than with my marriage.
Yolanda remained stunned, not expecting her threats to be of no avail.
Her heart filled with panic, and a thought flashed through her mind.
“For a year, Umberto hasn’t even mentioned the withdrawal of the marriage – why is he suddenly talking to me about that? Is it possible that… I knew Albina is back?”
Seeing that Umberto was about to walk away, she reached over and tugged at his hand:
-Umberto….
She wanted to ask him if he knew, but he was hesitating.
As he was about to let go, she heard a commotion at the door and, she looked over.
With this glimpse, he became dazed, noticing the woman at the door.
-Albina… -Umberto muttered, letting go of Yolanda’s hand, and the cup fell to the floor.
This sound attracted the attention of many people, including Albina.
She had a bright smile and her eyes were extremely beautiful and charming.
When she saw Umberto, she became incredibly indifferent.
Umberto didn’t notice this as he hurried to carry her in his arms.
His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse:
-Albina… you’re not dead…..
