-No, no!” said Albina unconsciously, which made them both understand that they were not as intimate as they thought they were.
Squeezing the paper towel with his long fingers, Umberto looked at her doubtfully,
-Albina, today is the last day of the week. As we have agreed, you help me to improve my sleep twice a week, yes?
Albina was embarrassed to hear that, and said to herself, “It turned out he didn’t want that.”
Relaxed, but a little desperate, she looked at the clock and continued, “The time was still early. Since Umberto is back, I have to go out together with him so I don’t come home late, since I’m going to the new company tomorrow.”
-All right, wait, I’ll go home and put something on – Albina went up as she finished her words.
Umberto looked at her back, smiling. Then he folded the paper towel and put it in the bag.
Camilo was at his side and Miguel knew it clearly himself.
However, Miguel said before Camilo that he wanted to meet Albina. Therefore, Umberto assumed that Miguel wanted him to know through Camilo.
If Miguel really wanted to date Albina, he would not let Umberto know at all.
But he did his best to warn him, and it was all too clear what he was planning.
Umberto smiled. He had a temper and wanted to occupy as much as he could. Those who knew him knew that, if he saw the girl he liked dating other men, he would definitely be angry and jealous, and might even force himself on Albina.
Albina was afraid of him and was attentive to him. Although her relationship with him had improved, she did not accept it inwardly. If he could not control himself, his rudeness would put an end to their relationship, which meant that all the efforts I made before would be in vain.
He waited for his love for a year, and finally she came. To get close to her, Umberto could sustain everything this girl did.
To get her, Umberto learned to control his temper, and would not give the chance for Miguel to break his plans.
Umberto thought Miguel wasn’t busy enough. If he was, he wouldn’t have time to intervene in both of them.
As Umberto was thinking, Albina came downstairs and said to him:
-Let’s go.
Umberto immediately converged and smiled:
-Okay.
As Umberto knew that tomorrow would be Albina’s first day at the new company, he didn’t feel like fucking. Therefore, he fell asleep when Albina was massaging him.
It was only eight o’clock when Albina left.
It was already night. Umberto’s house was not far from hers. Therefore, he decided not to take a cab so as not to find himself in traffic.
As she walked, Albina was immersed in the neon lights and restaurants full of customers, enjoying seeing the smiles of pedestrians.
This scenery gave her a new inspiration, making her understand the problem of her own design: she should add something of urban life.
Thinking about it, she found herself excited and wanted to go home quickly to modify the design drafts.
She lived in a neighborhood that was not very communicative, near which there was a street where there were few people, so sometimes she did not dare to go there in the evenings.
Thinking fully in the design draft, this time I was not afraid and went straight into the road.
When I was walking, I heard footsteps voice behind me. At first, she thought it was a pedestrian like her, but as she stepped forward, she understood that she was followed, because the man behind her adjusted the pace of footsteps to keep up with her speed.
Holding her breath, Albina didn’t dare look back. Her enthusiasm dampened and she began to listen intently to the footsteps behind her.
It seemed that a strong man was walking behind her, that’s why Albina was extremely frightened.
Suddenly she remembered that Ariana told her that Yolanda could take her life.
The road ahead was dark: one of the street lights was out and the moonlight was dim. But the worst thing was that when Albina and Ariana came here, they found no monitoring around.
She swallowed and kept moving forward.
The man was closer. Albina turned directly onto a narrow path. But seeing that its end was a thick wall, she had to turn back and glanced at the man who followed her,
-You followed me!
In front was a tall, thin man, wearing a black jacket and hat. The style of dress was so common that it would be hard to distinguish from the mass.
The man laughed in a devilish voice and said:
-How do you know that I follow you and even, why did you choose this dead end path? Albina, you are very bold.
He took off his hat as he finished his words.
-David, it’s you! -When Albina saw his face, she held her breath, looking at him with hatred.
-Yes!” David laughed coldly.
As the moonlight was mapped on his face, Albina could see a deep scar on his forehead.
Noticing her eyes, David touched the scar and continued in a hateful tone:
-Albina, you are the cause of this scar. For the past year every time I see this scar, I can’t stop thinking about you. I want so much to strangle you, you bitch! When you threw yourself into the river, I thought you were dead, and I felt a pity in my heart. But yesterday I found out that you are still alive. I think the time has come for revenge.
David looked at Albina with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a corpse.
Albina scoffed:
-What revenge? It was you who wanted to kill me,” she paused and continued, “It must be Yolanda who told you yesterday that I am alive, and it is she who sent you to take my life.
-Today you’re going to be at the end, and I might as well tell you that what you say is the truth. Why are you sick of living and seduce Umberto?
David took a dagger from her arms approached Albina:
-It’s a pity that here is the grave of a girl as beautiful as you.
-Wait! -Albina raised her hand to stop him: “Hey, are you sure you want to kill me? You also know that Umberto loves me. Besides Yolanda, I’ve never complained to others. If I die, he’ll suspect her. After serving for Yolanda for all these years, you must know Umberto very well. Do you think he will forgive Yolanda? David, I know you respect your lady so much and you don’t want to bear to see her attacked by Umberto.
Hearing this, Dacvid hesitated a little, but instantly seemed fierce:
-You are rapscallion, but I will never be convinced by your lie. Lady Yolanda is the only daughter of your family. As much as Umberto loves you, he will not dare to set himself against them. After your death, Umberto will forget you and will accompany Signora Yolanda forever.
She did not know how much Umberto cared for her, and she had never thought to prove it by death. Thinking that David had decided to carry out Yolanda’s order, she understood that she had no choice.
-There is no monitoring equipment here and not many people. No one will know that I will have killed you here.
To prevent Albina from saying something that would change his mind, he rushed straight at her, raising the dagger.
As he was about to stab, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist. It turned out that a strong electric current ran through his body.
The tall man fell to the ground.
Without showing any gesture on her face, Albina stuffed the stun gun into her bag, which was filled with various defense equipment, such as pepper water, spray, stun gun and scream alarm. All of these she and Ariana collected to specifically ward off Yolanda’s assaults, she never expected them to come in handy so soon!
She squatted down, turned David’s body:
-Son of a bitch!
Then she pulled a pair of gloves out of the bag and patted him on his face.
She said in a soft voice:
-David, now do you know why I chose this dead end road?
