“Did she get angry so fast? This Yolanda really couldn’t stand any excitement. I still don’t do anything too much, she started cursing.”
Albina smiled:
-Miss, you really have forgotten something. This morning, Umberto broke off the engagement with you and now he has nothing to do with you. He is single and so am I.
Yolanda’s chest was full of anger and she grabbed her phone tightly and said with a mad face:
-We just broke off the engagement today. You must have seduced Umberto before. Otherwise, how could you be with him so quickly?
Albina’s expression didn’t change, but her voice was indifferent:
-I don’t care. If you want everyone to know about us, hurry up. I also want everyone to hear your confession to Umberto. The noble princess of the Carballal family, crying and screaming, asked Umberto to marry her even accepting to share him with other women.
These words made Yolanda dizzy. Truly Albina heard them all. Originally she said it only to make Umberto feel guilty and accepted her again, but when Albina heard them, these words became her shame.
His mind instantly became clear. Albina was not famous, but she herself was the daughter of the Carballal family. If she were to expose this matter, it would affect her much more than Albina, of course, she would not dare to do so.
-Albina, be careful. Flowers don’t last forever. Do you think Umberto really likes you? He only feels guilty towards you. When the guilt is over, do you think he’ll still prefer you? Men, especially rich men, which one have you always seen love a woman? I’m waiting to see the scene where Umberto abandons you.
Albina had turned on the loudspeaker since she started talking. All the words like “flowers don’t last forever” fell on Umberto’s ears.
Umberto, who had always closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of coldness:
-Yolanda, stop talking nonsense. She is my flower and I want her to be as red as I want her to be. It has nothing to do with you.
Yolanda did not expect Umberto’s intervention. Umberto defended her so much, even that he did not tolerate that others spoke badly of her, because of her, he was able to speak this way with Yolanda.
-Umberto, I like you so much, why don’t you ever look at me? Is she so good? Worthy of your defense to this extent?
Yolanda’s voice was choked with helplessness and aggravation.
Umberto scoffed:
-I always look forward. I don’t like to look back.
Albina was very satisfied with his answer and liked to see Yolanda that she had nothing to talk about. She made up her mind to end the call, she said with indifferent eyes:
-Yolanda, you are so pitiful. You have done so much and hurt so many people. You finally lost the marriage. I’ll get the person you dream about without doing anything. Are you envious? Are you crying? It’s okay, you can cry if you want to.
This sentence made Umberto couldn’t control himself and he suddenly burst out laughing.
Yolanda’s face was red and white and she hung up the phone abruptly.
Albina looked at the phone:
-She hung up already, I still want to hear her cries!
Umberto looked at her face with disdain, turned around and hugged her whole body between his arms:
-Albina, I discovered that sometimes you are really bad woman.
Albina threw her cell phone aside, pushed it away:
-Let go of me. You’ve been taking advantage of me for a moment now.
-I didn’t do anything. Besides, for you, I spoke badly to that woman.
Albina looked at the time and it was already past nine o’clock, much later than she expected.
-It’s already late. Umberto, I don’t want to come back too late. My friend will be worried about me.
Umberto wanted to say “you can stay here,” but thinking that their relationship was still not that close at this point, he frowned, and lay down obediently without saying anything.
Albina continued the massage process. This time without Yolanda’s interruption, he quickly fell asleep.
Umberto seemed to be really tired. His breathing was steady and he slept very soundly, but his eyebrows were still slightly furrowed, as if he had a lot to worry about and so he was very restless in sleep.
Albina looked at him and carefully smoothed the creases between his brows. “What are you thinking about in sleep?”
Umberto was already asleep and she should go too.
Albina cautiously got out of bed and just as she was about to leave, a large hand gripped her wrist tightly. She startled, thinking that Umberto was awake again. She turned to look and discovered that he was still asleep. Grabbing her was just an unconscious action.
Albina breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and prepared to let go of his hand, when suddenly she heard Umberto whisper softly:
-Albina…
She saw Umberto’s face and was stunned on the spot.
His skin was fair, but his eyelids were obviously red. At this moment, her eyes were moist and her tears were falling drop by drop. As she slept, Umberto murmured in a trembling voice:
-Albina… I can’t find you…. Albina…
Albina’s heart seemed to have been hit hard. Her eyes also turned red. She had never seen such an Umberto. She felt very sad.
At this moment, Umberto’s hand loosened. He hugged the quilt and rubbed his tears gently without ceasing to murmur Albina’s name.
Albina felt sad and distressed in her heart, but she was more confused and frightened. She knew she was not determined to love him after everything that had happened.
In panic and fear, Albina quickly fled the house.
There was only Umberto in the house. When Albina came out, she closed the door and left quickly.
In front of Umberto’s house, a person stepped out of the shadows and looked at her with cold, hate-filled eyes.
After Yolanda hung up the phone, she was very angry, but she still wanted to confirm it with her own eyes, so she came quietly to Umberto’s house without telling her parents. She waited almost half an hour before she saw Albina leave the house.
They were really together, staying in the house where they lived together for so long.
As Albina said on the phone, what else could a man and a woman do being together in the same room? Besides, Umberto’s love and longing for occupation of Albina was so strong.
Yolanda clenched her fist tightly. She bit her lower lip with her teeth, almost pouring blood. She knew that breaking the engagement was a sure thing. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t change it.
Yolanda immediately made a phone call.
-Hey!
The person on the other end of the phone was surprised to hear her voice, with mild enthusiasm and excitement.
-Miss, you haven’t contacted me for a year. What are your orders this time?
This man was David. Since Albina disappeared, he also disappeared from the Carballal family. After Umberto discovered that it was he who had tried to kill Albina, Yolanda let him go and told Umberto that he disappeared.
In fact, she had always known David’s location and status.
-David, Albina is back! -said Yolanda coldly.
-How? Impossible! She died a year ago!
Yolanda’s voice was frantic:
-She came back and stole Umberto again. David, I want you to come back secretly. Kill her and then I’ll give you a sum of money. You will run away with the money far away and never come back.
