Chapter MAXIMILIANO

When she said she was pregnant, she just went out and left me there looking like a dick. I still went out behind I didn't believe she was pregnant she wanted to end me destroying me it was easier she shoots me in the chest than to say that. You can't do that to me.

"What happened to Max?

"She's pregnant, she just told me she's pregnant. I get desperate. "Do you understand Roni? She's having a baby and I'm not the father; I can't believe she did this to me.

"Calm down and think about it. Where are we going?

"To her house, now I need to clean this up.

"But think she might be saying that to provoke you, do you really believe she's pregnant?

"Yes, I believe her friend said she traveled with a boyfriend. So, actually, she's getting married, I can't lose her Roni. I'll put my hand on the phone and breathe.

" Set up a meeting with Meireles for tomorrow and say it's urgent.

I gave him the phone and barely breathed I was mad at her and me for losing her. I was going to have to leave her for later and it wasn't going to solve anything to go after her.

"Let's stop where I least wanted to go, Veneto I need to go back to my hometown and know some things that are hidden.

"Really Max?

"Yes, I've never been so serious in my life. I'm tired of fighting in vain.

I had to go back in time to find out all about the Santoro family and even if I called, he wouldn't tell me anything. But my head was about to explode in imagining what this whole lie would be. But why would he do that to me? I can't find an answer. After an hour I arrive in town was late and all places practically closed when I enter the first cafeteria the only open.

Still at the door of that cafeteria and I look through the city and everything closed, few people walked on the street, the city still has the same customs close early. I remembered the past and this is where I learned that I had to be alone, this is where I suffered and learned to grow.

"Let's have a coffee we have left to get back to town. When we entered the door made that unbearable noise of bell place was still the same I entered and still with my head down nor looked in the attendant.

"Please, two, strong coffee.

" Something to eat?

"Only the coffees to keep me awake tonight.

When I lifted the face, I looked at I was startled and saw that my past was there in front of me and after years and it was very important it was much more than friend.

" Rose? She lifted her frightened face and looked me in the eyes still with the change drawer open, she looked at me and smiled.

" Max what are you doing around here?

"It seems that this town always wants me back. I came to get answers to my life. She hugged me and smiled. "Could we have a coffee like this so we can talk about life, who knows you can help me with some things?

She didn't take long I sit at the first table in front for the cashier and she went there and closed the door and put the closed sign turned off all the lights and left only a small lamp as if hiding. I didn't quite understand or maybe she was already closing the store anyway.

She returned with the cup of coffee and milk biscuits to accompany sat and stirind in the cup and smiled.

"How long away from here and you disappeared without saying goodbye.

"My father just sent me to boarding school back then after everything that happened to Monique I walked away from everything, the only person who kept in touch was Chris. She turned the coffee over and I noticed the sadness in her eyes after I said his name. "But I see you're doing very well, and this is your store?

Yes, I’m sorry. She lowered her face and breathed. "That is what I have left in Veto after what I have been through, and I have abandoned the past and followed.

"To this day I cannot understand what has happened between you. You were so happy; it was all arranged for your wedding.

"He just left me to be with Dulce, maybe because she had money and I was hungry.

I got scared because Dulce was a friend at the time and nothing more. I looked at her that turned the coffee and I was thinking: did Dulce set it all up many years ago?

"It's strange because at that time he told me that he loved her and that he had never been happy and now out of nowhere he just lets her go. And why would he leave you to keep Dulce out of nowhere? I looked at the phone and saw it was getting late—Something's wrong, don't you think?

"I believe he got tired, but in the real way he said to my face that he was leaving me because I cheated on him with his best friend. I didn't believe what to hear, almost laugh. "You were his best friend and you even told me you had messages declaring me to you.

"But what do you mean? We never had anything and he even charged me for it and a drink. I didn't understand anything that day and I was drunk. I remembered the conversation and knocked on the table. "And did he say anything about the son you were pregnant?

"Why do you want to know that now to tell him? That bastard.

No, I’m not. Something about this story is wrong, something's going on and I need to sort it out to go my way. I turned some more coffee, she was sad, still loved him and I took the wound. "You still love him; I see it in your eyes.

"What's the point of loving someone who doesn't love you, someone who didn't even hear you when you needed it most.

The past always comes back in the same place and there's something in his family that's wrong and I see that she was also hurt with that family, she talked, and I saw the sadness in her eyes.

"Did you know that his family is called Santoro?

Yes, I’m sorry. I always knew that when we were dating, he told me that he hated his father's last name and that he only used His mother's Santoro because he was ashamed to be his father's son.

"So, I need to know if he's been here in town these days and with a woman. I need to know the truth, yet it hurts me. I trembled and

I knew that there in that town I was going to discover horrible things.

"Yes, they came to mark the wedding and from what I hear, she is pregnant.

Is Mia the supposed bride?

When she said that my world collapsed my heart trembled my hands throbbed and I felt a grip on my heart I did not believe it was my Mia could not be I still had a point of hope that it was not her that would be anyone but her. My friend and brother that I didn't have betrayed me and we were all to each other we always did everything together and when one had no money from the allowance one gave to the other I defended him in the fights even from our parents that was happening to us two?

"How did you know that?

"His mother made sure to throw it in my face days after they left that he was going to get married and was very happy was going to be a father and from what I saw the girl is very innocent.

"Would it be possible for you to describe her to me please Rose?

"What's going on, Max? You're shaking.

"Please, what was she like? I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and heard her voice in the background, as if my mind didn't want to accept what she said, the only thing I remember was that it was perfect little with blonde, blue eyes an angelic smile. "It's my Mia.

"Are you okay, Max? Explain it to me.

"Yes, it's just my life that's being invaded by my past. I see we were both being the victim of the same people. "There's something in your story and Chris's that's wrong, someone loved you.

"Chris told me that I had cheated on him with you and when I told him I was pregnant he said that the son was not his and did not want to believe that I was expecting his child in that one. She almost cried and put her hand on her face. "But his mother hated me.

" Someone who is more evil who is capable of all the tricks and bad things to get what she wants.

Who? Max, please.

" Dulce Meireles...

"But we were friends, and we shared a room on all our high school outings and on vacation she made sure we were together I don't believe it.

"I'm going to figure out every detail of this diabolical plan and you wait for me to have the answer to all of this.

"It won't do any good for his mother, she's never going to say she's to blame.

"She's in the capital, but I'm going to talk to his father, he's always been a great man and a big nut to me. I'll call you as soon as I figure it out.

I left that cafeteria; it was hope that everything would be resolved that I was going to be able to find the answers I came to look for I still did not want to believe that the woman who was with Chris was Mia could not be.

I couldn't think of anything, I wanted to break half the world and when I got to Chris' house the whole house was being guarded by security guards, so they were very important or something was wrong.

I hit the first time no one answered the second nothing I was already wanting to go away today I was not enduring so many more lies all the sickle so much dirt and the woman I love was with my best friend and I hit again the third time.

The door opened and there was you what always stood by me and helped me in the moments I needed most, he was the father I did not have because my father simply ignored my presence i count observe the name of Chris's father.

"How have you been so long?

"The last time was at your wedding, Max.

"I have come to seek answers to my life, nothing goes forward, something is wrong with me, I see that I deserve this life of anguish.

"Why are you so bitter about what happened?

I ran my hand through my hair, shook my fingers with a fake smile, put my hand on my head and got up from the huge leather couch and looked at it again.

"I got married and I'm unhappy just like my parents who just split up.

Did your parents split up? Oh my god! I didn't know that.

"It was the best thing that happened to my mother, she deserves to be happy who knows now she arranges a new marriage a man she really loves. "But Mr. Santoro. When are you going to visit us? I threw one to observe what he was going to say and took the opportunity to find out the truth.

"I'm not Santoro, but what can I help you, my son? I see you're hiding something from me.

I loved it when he told my son that I felt needy alone, held his hand and immediately asked the question I needed to know.

Did Chris bring the bride here?

"Yes, Mia and Chris' fiancée if it is she was, yes, a few days ago came to schedule the wedding and she is pregnant. They look pretty happy. He seemed to tell the truth and when he said happy, I almost choked. "But why all this Max?

"Mia and the woman of my life have a long history. But I'll explain.

After hours of talking to him all about what happened, I suspected what was wrong in my life that Chris was no longer my friend like before he prevented him from answering my calls. I was shocked by all the information I received with everything he told me I could hardly believe what to find out.

I left that house upset my world falling apart, but I had to go back to the capital even with everything falling apart and my head spinning, and I ended up crying after so long without draining a tear of sadness of disappointment at knowing that my whole life was armed by people I trusted most in my life.

" I want romeo revenge.

"No, Max. Look at me now. Roni yells at me by taking the phone. "It's not worth it.

"They tricked me and made me stupid again. Give me that phone now what the fuck! He gave it to me, and I kept talking- I want blood.

Who's going to roll the blood?
