In the billionaire’s bed - Season 2 - Episode 8

Emeliano’s pov

Week 11 last day in Paris

Tilting my head, I continued to study Rebecca, she wasn’t aware of my stare, she just continued making arrangements for our trip back to Orlando. Ever since the day we got together, I had noticed something different about her… She was more open and less reserved, anything she did, or wanted to do, she’d tell me.

Was I too hard on her?
Fine, I was mad, everything she told me few weeks back was enough to make me rethink our whole situation, but I didn’t- I couldn’t just leave her alone, I couldn’t stop loving her, no matter how hard I tried.
She was a Lewis, cursed to bear the brunt of her father’s mistake, and I was Emeliano, cursed to live through with it.

I made a vow, never to get attached with anyone from that family, but my heart was just too stubborn to heed to that vow. I wanted Rebecca, I wanted all of her, and despite the fact that she lied to me, I still wanted to marry her, to make her mine.
I had something big planned out for today, something I never ever thought I could come up with, it was also the exact same reason why I decided to book a private plane for our travel back to Orlando.

It was a crazy plan, I wasn’t even sure it would work, but it was worth the trial.
But, back to the matter at hand. She was on edge, always on edge, trying her best to make everything right.

Did she think that I had stopped loving her? She wouldn’t think that would she?
She turned immediately. “Let’s go-” she paused, scrunching her brows. “Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked, eyeing me.

“Nothing.” I muttered, straightening up and grabbing both of our suitcase to the private plane I booked for.
It wasn’t like I was giving her the cold shoulder or anything, I was only testing her, I wanted to know if she meant what she said, would she really fight for our relationship, would she do anything to make it work?
I should have taken her words for it, but- a lot of things had Happened to me, I was actually beginning to think that I was cursed. No one has ever said anything to me and really really meant it.

I love Rebecca, with everything I was made of. But she had broken my trust way too many times for me to just give in again, this time, I intended to shield myself from every or any further blows in future.
These past few days in Paris had been great to say the least, we had gotten to know each other pretty well… But I wasn’t ready to let myself be the victim anymore, I wasn’t ready to let myself get hurt.
All I was trying to do was protect myself. Anyone In my shoes would do just that.

Not that I had stopped caring for her or anything. There was no word to describe how much I loved her, and that was the reason why I was planning to do this today, it was either a yes or a no.

If she agrees, I’d know she meant it, she was just one word away from breaking the new wall I’d built, either for the best or for the worst.
