Eleanora Lozada turned her back, absently brushing her long, wet hair, when her wrists were firmly grasped by Jonathan Tasis and the man pulled her all the way around, forcing her to look directly at him.
“Are you jealous of Perla Prats?”
“I wasn’t, I told you, I’m not Analena Lozada. ”
Jonathan Tasis just ignored her comment, his dark eyes stared at her, drunk but with a glint of clarity crossing them, “Tell me, why did you come back again? Why did you come back to The Holy City if you didn’t want to see me again, didn’t want to come back to me?”
If she did not return to The Holy City, there was no guarantee that her contacts, however extensive, would be able to find her.
Everyone’s existence is small to this big world, let alone that of someone who intentionally avoids you.
Eleanora Lozada swallowed, lowered her watery eyes and spoke softly, “I have not returned to La Ciudad Santa to see you.”
“The Holy City is not your home, and since you haven’t returned to The Holy City to see me, who have you returned to The Holy City to see?”
“…”
Eleanora Lozada could not give an adequate reason.
La Ciudad Santa has no one nearby and would not have returned if she really did not want to see Jonathan Tasis.
Eleanora Lozada closed her eyes, pulled Jonathan Tasis’ arm away and said, “Jonathan Tasis, let go of me, we really don’t fit together, you and Miss Pearl are perfect for each other and she suits you, I see you have feelings for each other too, why do you keep clinging to me?”
Jonathan Tasis scoffed, “How can you say there are feelings between me and Perla Prats?”.
Eleanora Lozada is silent and does not speak.
The cold light in Jonathan Tasis’s eyes was sharp, as if he was trying to see through her. “Because Perla Prats took me home, because I agreed to let Perla Prats hold my arm, or because Perla Prats left a lip print on my shirt collar, you think I have feelings for her and even that I slept with her, don’t you?”
Eleanora Lozada took a deep breath, her heart trembled slightly, “None of this has anything to do with me, those are your freedoms.”
Freedom? She had locked him in a cage and now he was telling her he was free?
“So you don’t care that I’m with another woman?”
Eleanora Lozada, not daring to look at him, turned slightly to the side and looked out the window at the deep, cold night for a long moment before saying, “Yes, I don’t mind. Because we broke up a long time ago.”
“I never agreed, when did you break up with me?”
Eleanora Lozada just felt a shiver run through her body, the heat in this room was clearly on, but she still felt cold through her, “It’s enough for a person to decide to break up, and besides, … it never started between us.”
She was only acting with him under her sister’s name and identity, like a beautiful, fragile dream that would eventually shatter no matter how much care she took.
Jonathan Tasis tugged irritably at his tie, which hung loosely around his neck, his shirt was unbuttoned three times, and he looked extremely sluggish from his inebriated state, but his red, bloodshot eyes were full of resentment and anger.
The man pressed Eleanora Lozada violently against the landing and lowered his head to kiss her forcefully, his breath commanding and urgent.
Eleanora Lozada’s shoulder and back crashed against the hard floor-to-ceiling window, frowning in pain, her lips, coated with his scent, and she tried to pull away, but he used all his brute strength.
“Jonathan Tasis… you are strong…. hmmm…”
“This is a relationship that will never end until I agree to break it off!”
Eleanora Lozada was so hurt with him that tears were spilling from the corners of her eyes, clenching both fists and hitting his pressed shoulders, “But I am not Analena Lozada… the one you love is not me either….. . you let me go … please … Jonathan Tasis…. I am not your Analena Lozada. ”
If this kept up, she might be shameless and stay with him under the guise of her sister.
But how could she stay with him without pretending to take revenge, she couldn’t.
“Analena, I have nothing to do with Perla Prats, do what you want with me, don’t leave me again okay?”
Between breaths, the woman’s watery eyes looked straight into his handsome face in ecstasy and asked, in one word, “Jonathan Tasis, do you love me?”
The man’s dark eyes, slowly widening, rested fascinated on a face almost identical to Analena Lozada’s, and somehow he could not say the word “love”.
Eleanora Lozada looked at him and opened her thin lips, but no words came out, and with tears streaming down her face, she pulled at the corners of her lips and said, “See, you lie to yourself saying you love me, but you can’t say the word love to me. Because you know I’m not your Analena, Jonathan Tasis, let me go, it’s not me you love at all, you’re just looking for my sister in me.”
Eleanora Lozada pushed his arm away and closed her eyes slightly, tears slipped from her eyes as she looked at the dazed body of Jonathan Tasis and added: “I lied to you at first, I always thought you had indirectly killed my sister, that’s why I hated you, I approached you under the guise of my sister and you did obey me. It was me who planned the accident with Adam Rouco, and you knew everything afterwards, didn’t you? But I know you remembered your sister and didn’t tell on me.”
Jonathan Tasis clenched his fist, his voice hoarse and disheveled, “If you’ve come to take revenge on me, why didn’t you do it on me?”
She had plenty of chances, he never raised his guard against her, he should have been able to feel it.
Eleanora Lozada choked back a sob, but said with a faint smile on her face, “Because I couldn’t stand it, you were too good to me, too good for me to do anything about it.
So good that … she fell in love with him.
But he has been her sister’s man from the beginning, and this man also loves her sister deeply. In this relationship, she’s always been the third party, and she doesn’t deserve him.
“So why go back to La Ciudad Santa again? “I want to hear the truth.”
Eleanora Lozada pouted and made no secret of it, “Because you said you wanted to spend New Year’s with me and I always remembered that. Even though I know you didn’t want to spend New Year’s with me, you wanted to spend it with your sister, but I couldn’t help it and I don’t know how I came back.”
Maybe it was because she wanted to see him so badly, and for most of the year she tried to forget him, but she wanted it more and more, to be near him, even if it meant going back to The Holy City to sneak a peek at him from afar.
But she really had no intention of going back and disturbing his life now.
Jonathan Tasis gritted his teeth: “Would you have come to me if Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal hadn’t met you by chance?”
“No, I wouldn’t have the courage.”
She just wanted to sneak a look at him and leave, but to her surprise, she ran into Mr. and Mrs. Adam Rouco at the supermarket and that’s how she found out he was back.
“The little …” The word Analena did not come out, and seeing her tear-stained face, Jonathan Tasis could not cry out.
Eleanora Lozada tried to smile and held out her hand, “Jonathan Tasis, let’s meet again, I’m Eleanora Lozada, Analena Lozada’s sister Eleanora Lozada. so, I’m not your Analena Lozada. I never have been.
Jonathan Tasis stared at her face for five seconds, not reacting, but with waves of shock crashing under his eyes.
Jonathan Tasis lifted his legs and ran out of the master bedroom in one stride, falling.
Eleanora Lozada looked at the outstretched hand, smiled softly and murmured softly into the air, “Now that we are reunited, let’s go back to the beginning.”
–Jonathan Tasis, farewell and never to see you again.
