THE LAST DON: ALEJANDRO VERGARA

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

WHEN Alejandro reached EL Paraiso. He hurriedly ran inside the building after parking his motorcycle outside. But before proceeding inside, he received a call from Jero. He answered his phone. 

"Where are you? Our manager is looking for you?" Jero immediately asked him. 

"I'm already here at EL Paraiso and please don't stop me from doing what I have to do, Jero. You don't understand me," Alejandro answered. 

"I'm not going to stop you Alejandro but you must also consider the fact that you leave here at working hours. You know the consequences of it. Our manager might give you a sanction for this," Jero reminded him. Alejandro let out a heavy sigh. 

"I will get back immediately once I am finished with this matter. I really wanted to talk to Helena and I can't wait for tomorrow." Jero then sighed on the other line. 

"Fine. Good luck with that. I'll just cover you up here and make an alibi." 

"Thank Jero," he answered and dropped Jero's call.

Alejandro then rushed inside but upon entering, he was taken aback When he looked up, he saw Helena quite a distance away from where he stood at the glass door of the dining room. She was talking and having fun with Mr. Chan while holding a glass of champagne in her hand. They appear to be exchanging very private glances with one another. And when Alejandro sees them holding hands, he knows exactly what's going on. What Jero told him is true but he wanted to hear from Helena. And because of his rage, Alejandro's eyes were burning. He looked like he was about to explode.

Alejandro clenched his fists and started walking towards the entrance of the building, but he was immediately stopped by the security guards who were stationed at the door.

The first security guard approached him and inquired. 

"Do you have a reservation here sir?"

"No, I haven't done that, but my girlfriend is there inside! I can't put off seeing her any longer! Please allow me to get inside," Alejandro explained.

"We are very sorry to inform you sir. But we won't allow you to be inside. Even if your girlfriend is already here, we are unable to accommodate guests who have not made reservations in advance, Sir. In addition, you are not dressed appropriately for the occasion. We are truly sorry about this," the second guard interupted while looking at him from head to toes. It appeared as though the guards were looking down on him.

He is only wearing t-shirts, faded jeans, and sneakers, but he feels that everyone is looking down on him. Now he can't stop belittling himself. But he still had a decent appearance, and despite looking like that, his clothes were clean. 

When he looked at Helena and Mr. Chan. Alejandro realized that he couldn't deny the fact and that he couldn't compare his looks to those two people dressed in their expensive clothes.

"Please, sir! I simply just wanted to communicate with my girlfriend. Please! Please let me in the building! I'll be just very quick!" Alejandro said as he begged.

"No sir. We ask that you please leave immediately or you will be dragged outside!" The guard spoke to him in a commanding tone and issued a warning. 

He stepped back and fished his phone out of his pocket. He called Helena but she was not answering him. He approached the guards again.

"Sir! I am begging you! I need to see Helena!" Alejandro insisted, and he made an attempt to break free of the two guards who were holding him, but they stopped him right away. Even if he continues to put in so much effort, there is nothing he can do about it. He was forcely dragged out of the building by the two guards. 

"Helena! Please, sweetie! Turn around your head! I'm here!" Alejandro yelled as loud as he could muster up the strength to do so.

"Enough already, sir! You're disturbing our guests!" The guard said this while they forcibly dragged him out of the building.

"No! You don't understand! It's important that I discuss this with my girlfriend. I will only refuse to give up fighting until you give me permission to have a conversation with her. I just need to have a conversation with her! Let me go!" Alejandro answered as he continued to have difficulty in struggling. However, the two guards are very adamant about keeping both of his arms restrained.

After that, Helena looked outside without meaning to and saw him there. Later on, Helena's expression changed so that it appeared as though she had never seen him in the first place. Even though her face initially displayed shock when she saw him.

"Let me go! Fine! I won't forced you guys to let me in!" Aljendro said. They two guards believed him and released him. He grabbed his phone again out of his pocket and tried to call Helena. Fortunately, she answered him. 

"Stop calling me Alejandro! Please! Let's talk some other time," Helena angrily said to him. 

"No! See me at once Helena! You can't do this to me!"

"Stop making a scene! Stop calling me!"Helena answered and dropped his call.

"Damn it, Helena!"Alejandro said as he cussed.

He grabbed his phone and turned to face the two guards. He ran to them and pushed away the security guards before running towards the door. However, to his surprise, as soon as he opened the door, there were even more security guards surrounding him. They brought him to a halt and then immediately held him down on the ground. He attempted to put up a fight, but his arms were bound behind his back, preventing him from doing so. Even with all of the effort that he put into it, Alejandro was unable to move.

"Please let me go! I need to see Helena! Please! Just let me talk to her for Pete's sake!" Alejandro begged.

"What is this commotion all about!? What the heck are you all doing!? Who is he? Release him!" A booming voice coming from behind suddenly interrupted them.
