Chapter 3
When a man shouted behind them. Alejandro was released immediately by the security. He immediately sprang up and faced the guy who had told them to free him. Mr. Chan's presence with Helena shocked him. Mr. Chan even sweetly wrapped his arms around Helena, while looking at each other lovingly.
"Helena! Is this the man you have chosen to replace me!?"Alejandro shouted in anger.
"What are you saying!? Don't act like you don't about this Alejandro. Did I think we already talked about this? Can you please stop!?"
"No! What the fuck are you talking about! You are my girlfriend and you are cheating on me!" Alejandro answered back and he was teary-eyed.
Alejandro noticed Mr. Chan still had his phone. He was filming and appearing in the Tok Tok live program. But he doesn't care.
"I didn't cheat on you! Will you stop? We are already over!"
Alejandro was shocked to hear that. He clenched his hands. He stepped forward but was taken aback when he noticed Helena wearing an expensive outfit. He remembered buying the garment with the rest of his two-month income. He bought it for her as a gift because she wanted it so much.
"I bought that dress for you and you're just gonna use it just to date that bastard!? You're unbelievable Helena!" Alejandro said while pointing at the dress.
"Who the hell are you? And don't dare call me a bastard! You don't know me!" Mr. Chan interrupted him.
Alejandro paid no attention to Mr. Chan and instead fixed his furious gaze on Helena.
"How could you possibly treat me like this, Helena!?" Alejandro confronted Helena.
"What!? Don't act like you're a victim here Alejandro! Can't you understand what I am saying? We are already finished!" Helena answered.
She then grabbed Diego to get back inside the building but Alejandro was fast to stop them by grabbing Helena through her left arm.
"No! You can't do this to me, Helena! How could you lie to me and Mr. Chan about our relationship? Stop acting like you don't know anything about what I am talking about! After everything that I've put you through, do you still have the guts to cheat on me? After all the love and effort I've given for you!? Tell me, are you only doing this because you want to make money?"
Those words came out of Alejandro's mouth without him being able to stop himself from venting his frustration. Helena suddenly slapped him hard.
"Stop accusing me, Alejandro! Stop pretending that you don't know what I am talking about! I am so done with you! You filthy bastard!" Helena yelled at Alejandro.
"Helena, do you know this guy? If you don't, I can kick him out right away! I won't allow him to treat you like this," Mr. Chan interrupted again.
"Diego, he's the one I've been telling you over the phone last night. I already broke up with him and he's threatening me not to leave him. He's been stalking me and he always took advantage of my kindness. He wasn't even content with using me to join your company and now he's abusing my every right to be happy," Helena acted in a dramatic statement while crying fake tears.
Alejandro's jaw dropped from what he just heard.
"You are lying, Helena! That's not true!"
"It's the truth, Alejandro! Stop making it hard for both of us! We're already done!"Helena said without batting her eyelashes. Those words stabbed Alejandro many times and it hurt him big time.
"You're unbelievable Helena! I didn't do bad things to you!"
"Alejandro, stop spreading false information! Enough with this already!" Helena responded and then began crying so convincingly in front of Diego.
After that, Diego turned the screen of his phone toward him, and he can now see his face, which is still filled with shock and disgust. Even Alejandro was able to see the comments that kept popping up, and the people writing them were giving him a lot of negative feedback. Someone even commented to threaten him, which was very disturbing. The vast majority of them did not believe his accusations at any point. Some people even suggested that he was acting dramatically to manipulate Helena.
"Helena, you are telling a blatant lie here! What in the name of god did you say to them about I've been very kind to you, haven't I? I had the impression that you loved me!"
"Let me correct it, Alejandro! Absolutely, I adore you, but that was in the past. After all that you've done to hurt me, I can't forgive you! It's finished! I don't love you anymore! Can you just let me go and give me the chance to be with the one who loves me for who I am?" Helena remarked as she supported her weight against Diego's chest.
Alejandro stared angrily and with an overwhelming feeling of disgust at the two of them. After that, Diego turned his attention to Helena.
"Don't worry, sweetie, I won't ever give in to his demands and let him act however he pleases. You will never have to worry about anyone else hurting you again. I promise you."
After saying that, Diego planted a passionate kiss on Helena's lips. Alejandro could no longer bear to see them in such a state, and he was unable to contain his emotions any longer. He punched Diego in his face and he immediately dropped to the floor. Helena then let out a startled scream, the security guards jumped on Alejandro and pinned him to the ground before he could punch Diego again. Even though he made an effort to move, he was unable to do so because he was already captive by the guards.
Alejandro was immediately dragged outside El Paraiso and the guard threw him in the bushes.
"I will never, ever forgive you, Helena, for what you did to me! I will never forget this Helena! Never!" Alejandro said, giving Helena a revengeful look in his eyes. He will never forget this thing! Never!
Chapter 4ALEJANDRO was enraged, and his tears kept falling. Not because Helena has broken up with him, but because of his hatred for her. He still can't believe she dumped her that effortlessly.He was brimming with fury and he wanted to go back inside, but there was no way he could, no matter how many times he tried.Alejandro reverted to his motorbike, exasperated when he got a phone call from Helena. His brow wrinkled slightly."Now, what do you want!? Are you going to lie to me again!? Claiming that what happened earlier was all a joke and your foolish drama!" Alejandro yelled frantically as he answered the phone."I'm not calling because I want to recant my words, Alejandro; what happened earlier was because of your stupidity, not mine! I'm warning you! Quit messing with me or you'll freaking regret it!"After hearing Helena's words, his jaw dropped."You're unbelievable! I can't believe you're acting this way just because Diego has all the wealth you desired! You're such a dram
Chapter 5ALEJANDRO cursed as he glared at them. He's disgusted by what Helena told him, which enraged him even more."Damn, you Helena! I will make sure you will pay for what you've done to me!" he said as he stood up. He rode his motorcycle outside of his company's premises. He entered the bar in search of his best friend Alfred. He's the bartender, and he was looking for someone to talk to.WHEN Alejandro reached the bar, he ordered a blue margarita and sat at the corner. "Hey? Such a pleasant surprise to see you here! Did you miss me?" Alfred approaches him as he places the meal tray at the bar island's corner."I just wanted to relax my mind," he simply stated and sipped on his drink. "Hmm, I think you've got a huge problem. Your lower lip is swollen. Did you get into a fight? Tell me, who was it?" Alfred stated as he stared him in the eyes. "That has something to do with Helena—""Of course, it's always about Helena. What did she do to you this time? Did she want expensive s
Chapter 6ALEJANDRO gets his phone out of his pocket. He logged into his dummy account on social media. He created a disturbing post and made sure that Helena's image would be ruined. After he posted it, he threw away his cigarettes and got back to their office as if nothing happened. "Are you okay?" Jero asked him when he came back."Yeah," he sparingly said and opened his desktop. He tried to work on his layout again when Jero suddenly gasped. Alejandro glanced at Jero. "Have you seen this? Someone exposed Helena! And your secret relationship with her. Is this you, bro? You did this right?" Jero asked him. Alejandro shrugged. "No, I'm not," he answered without looking at Jero. Jero didn't say anything and he stopped bothering him. A sudden smirk showed on Alejandro's face. The show must go on and he's waiting for Helena to come to him.IT WAS almost lunchtime when Jero invited Alejandro to eat at the canteen. Luckily, he's already done with his first layout so he decided to g
Chapter 7ALEJANDRO went to see Mr. Chan, the CEO but before he could approach the elevator. The security personnel rushed to him and stopped him from entering."Why are you guys blocking my way!?" he asked in surprise."Sir, we received a memo from HR that you're already not an employee here. Please step aside sir and we will assist you to get your belongings first before you exit the building," security said to him.Alejandro was shocked by what he heard. He couldn't believe that he was immediately fired from the company he was working for. And he knows Helena is behind all of this.He cursed weakly and backed away. He wouldn't be able to handle them if he tried to fight, so he didn't do anything but step back. He returned to his office and began to put away his things."Are you gonna leave like this without fighting for your rights?" Jero said. He was sad watching him putting away his things."Helena has them all by the neck! And I can't fight them if I am only like this Jero. For
Chapter 8"WHY were you fired? Did you do something wrong?" said Alfred. He sighed."It was Helena's fault. Because of her, I got fired from my work without basis. Everyone there was siding with her. She even controls our boss' decisions. I can't even file a motion for reconsideration.""Have you tried talking to your boss?""I did but I was stopped by the company's security personnel on the elevator. There was nothing I could do but pack my things.""It seems that Helena has gone too far in ruining your life. Even your job at the company has been taken from you.""That's exactly my point. She went overboard on everything! She's the one to blame, and yet she's still acting like she's very clean. She's like a leech when she clings to her rich boyfriend! She changes when she tastes a luxurious life given by that bastard!" Alejandro angrily said. He clenched his fists tightly."Is her boyfriend really that rich?"Alfred asked him curiously. Alejandro immediately nodded."So, what's your p
Chapter 9ALEJANDRO went to the manager's office and luckily, he was entertained right away. "Mr. Garcia, please have a seat," the manager offered him. He sat on the couch. "Coffee or juice?" the manager offered him. Alejandro politely shakes his head. "I won't be able to stay longer. I just want to get my mother's last paycheck," he said. "Oh, sure! Let me get it to the finance management," the manager then left him for a while and went out of his office. While waiting, Alejandro stood up and walked closer to the glass window. He pulled and opened the blinds to see if Diego was still outside. Diego was still there and looked like he was waiting for someone. He guessed, he was waiting for Helena, for sure. Minutes passed when his suspicion was finally answered when his ex-lover arrived. Diego was really meeting with Helena. And before he could react, the manager came back. Alejandro quickly closed the blinds and sat back on the sofa. The door opened and the manager handed him t
Chapter 10ALEJANDRO is now in front of the desktop to attend to his applications. He sends his application to every company he has known and unfortunately he hasn't received any news from them. He clenched his fists. He now thinks that he might be blacklisted by the companies he tried to apply to and he knows for sure who did it. It was Helena or maybe Diego. He let out a heavy sigh and smeared his face using his hands. He stood up and left his room. He caught up with his Mommy Felecia who had a sad face and was obviously troubled. She was also holding envelopes and he guessed they were their house bills. He approached his mother and sat next to her. Felecia suddenly panicked and grabbed all the envelopes. She hid it under the kitchen towel. "Mom, what are those?" Alejandro asked. His mother, Felecia, smiled sparingly. "This is nothing son. Just nevermind it," Felecia immediately denied it to him. Alejandro shook his head. He pulled the kitchen towel and grabbed the envelopes. A
Chapter 11ALEJANDRO returned home and found his Mommy Felecia preparing their dinner. The aroma of the food quickly went to his nostrils and it made him calm a bit. "Hey, mom? What are you cooking this time?" he asked, making his voice a little lovely despite what happened to him. Felecia turned her head and glanced at him with a sweet smile. "Of course! What else should I cook? It's your favorite." "Oh, a chicken casserole," he confirmed. "Yes. Come on. Sit down. This will be ready in a minute," Felecia said, smiling at him. Alejandro just nodded and pulled a chair to sit down. While waiting, he rubbed both his palms at each other. He suddenly feels so cold. Felecia then suddenly noticed his discomfort. "Are you okay, son?" Felecia asked in a worried tone. Alejandro tilted his head, looking at his mother who still looked beautiful even if her gray hair almost covered her black hair. "Hmm? I'm okay mom. Just a little bit tired," he said with a raw smile. Felecia gave him food
