Mr. Montenegro's Fiancee

I meant to put sarcasm in every word so they would recognize how I am pissed off seeing them.

"Jill," Cielo called my name and held my wrist. "I am sorry, okay? Can't you just forgive us? Grace and I love each other."

I removed his hand away from me, disgusted by his touch. "Don't touch me! You don't have the right anymore!" I said in a whisper, remembering that we are still in a restaurant to cause a scandal.

"Jill!" Grace exclaimed, reacting to what I did to Cielo. "You are hurting him!"

"What the"

I did not expect for her to push me on the shoulder, and because I was off guard by what she was about to do, the coffee I was holding spilled over my working dress. I exclaimed in pain because of its excruciating hot liquid. I felt my knuckles burning, so I cried out and muttered a series of curses.

“Why would you do that?!” I said to Grace and glared at her. “Do you want a death wish, huh?!”

Caring about the public place and the customers inside the coffee shop was the last thing I would want to do. I attacked Grace by pulling her hair and dragging her head to the floor. She also clawed me with her sharp nails. On the other hand, Cielo also tried to move us apart, but no! I am way too stubborn to let go of this crap.

“You bitch!” I cursed her. “You stole Cielo away from me! You are a fucking traitor!”

“I did not steal him! He just does not love you anymore! He loves me now and not you!”

I pushed her face using my palm. Everyone in the shop watched us and it was too late to realize that they were filming us. Cielo managed to pull me from Grace.

Three hours --- this is the period I have to be seized by the coffee shop’s guard together with Grace and Cielo. I was a mess and could not mumble a coherent explanation to the manager and the guard I could not look at anyone or anything. For now, everything is just a baffle.

My walks were slow as I entered the company building. My shoulders were low, my stance was not confident and straight, and my expression was cold and empty. Even the employees that were greeting me in the lobby must be confused as to why I am being a snob right now.

“Ms. Castro!”

My lips parted as I heard the voice of my boss from afar. He was newly exiting the elevators together with the other members of the board. Oh, shit! My working dress is filthy and stained with coffee; my hair is disoriented, and it is like I just came from a war. I’m gonna be damned by him… and it is gonna be embarrassing if he reprimands me in front of the board.

I hissed. “It is now or never,” I whispered and just chose to face my boss. “Sir-”

“This is my fiance, father!”

My eyebrows immediately furrowed and I gasped without a sound when as soon as I neared Mr. Montenegro, he pulled me closer to his side and dominated my wrist using his massive hand. I widened my eyes as I looked up at him with curiosity and confusion. In front of us were the board directors, especially the chairman who was leading the group. Even the employees around us were like curious cats while looking at us.

“I am gonna marry this woman, and you have nothing to do with that anymore,” Mr. Montenegro said and his grip on my wrist tightened.

My jaw dropped. I looked at the chairman who was eyeing me up and down with a judgmental gaze. His lips even twisted, and I felt my cheeks heating cause of embarrassment.

Oh, no. Please don’t look at me like that.

“You have chosen a woman who cannot even have a presentable appearance. Is this your type nowadays? Disorganized and sardonic?” the chairman said, even though he was talking to Mr. Montenegro, his eyes remained on me.

As an initiative act, I lowered my head and sighed. I could also feel Mr. Montenegro looking at me.

I already went through a bad day. Everyone, give me a break! Or I hope the ground just eats me now!

“E-Excuse me,” I mumbled out of my breath and walked away.

My tears started falling as soon as I turned around and went to the elevators. I pressed the highest button when the elevators started to lift. I was not in myself, and I still have Mr. Montenegro’s coffee. My mind is full of the events that transpired a while ago.

Cielo’s hands were around Grace’s shoulders while we were in a state of interrogation inside the office. He was as if protecting her… and that was in front of me! Their eyes were not guilty enough, and they were just angry that I started the commotion.

I scoffed out of bitterness.

I should have known sooner or later that they are in a relationship behind my back. There is nothing worse than knowing that your best friend and your boyfriend are fucking each other. Not to mention that I trusted them. Shit!

I sobbed and walked outside the elevators when I reached the rooftop. The wind was cold and the stars were already showing up from the night sky. But all I could see is the face of Cielo and Grace in one hotel room when I decided to follow them in secrecy for the last few weeks, the reason why I had to break up with my boyfriend and cut ties with my best friend.

Mr. Montenegro and the chairman saw me being a mess and disoriented and filthy and whatsoever they can’t think about me! They can judge me all they want, but I don’t care anymore!

“Aaaaahhhh!” I shouted and placed my hands on the cemented railings. “Fuck you! Fuck all of you!”
