My heart skips a beat when The Marcelo apologizes. I have had a great respect for this man and now that he is in front of me, I feel so much emotions. I want to hate him for threatening me to take Leo away, but at the same time my respect for him is not letting me to do that.

"Oh no. Don't apologize." I utter and the heat of embarrassment makes its way to my face. "No, I have to." He says back. "I barged into your house and created unwanted scene, I threw punches at your boyfriend and as much as I feel sorry for you, I will have to take him with me. I'm just so sorry that you were dragged into all this." He says looking away and for the first time throughout the day, I feel like maybe he is not that bad of a person.

"Do you know Mateo has never been so serious about a someone. So serious to the extend that he would wipe someone's blood off." I whisper hoping that I'm not going out of my line. I hear him let out a breath and dare look at him. I finish the bandage and step away from him.

"I have respected you as a business man." I admit, a strong tension hanging in the air. "And I hope I can respect you as a man, as a person as well. So if you are not serious about him, don't play with him either." I say remembering the day Mateo told me he kissed someone and how that person rejected him. Enzo Marcelo was that person, I realize.

"If you want a second chance to repair what you've done, you may stay here tonight but if you have no intentions like that, I will need to have you gone, right now." I look at him in the eyes and I see his eyes wavering. "Even if it means Leo will have to go with you, now." My voice cracks at the thought of Leo going with him but if it protects Mateo, then there's nothing I can do.

Leo will have to go now or later anyways. The thought brings a heavy knot in my throat and I try to gulp it but it never goes.

"Do you have any idea what I will do to Leo when he comes with me?" Mr. Marcelo raises an eyebrow and looks at me intensely. His eyes tell me that he is going to kill him and I just look down. A tear slips through my eyes and I feel so low. I was never this emotional and weak before but now I feel like crying rivers. I can't think about Leo not being with me anymore.

Without waiting for my answer, Mr. Marcelo answers my question. "I will be staying here tonight and it has nothing to do with what you said. I will leave when I will make sure that Mateo is ok." He whispers and looks at me. His eyes shines when he looks at me.

A small smile forms on my lips and I nod. He may say that but his eyes hold so many emotions and I want to believe what I see in his eyes.

He thanks me for the help before walking back to the room.

Just when he enters the room, Leo comes out closing the door behind him. His face drops when he looks at me and I choke on my breath. "Baby?" He tilts his head and it takes everything in me to not confess my love for him. I hurry my way to him and jump into his arms, hugging him. Tears stream down my face as I hug him. "What have you done Leo?" I cry and hold him. He wraps his arms around me and holds me in a tight hug.

"Calm down baby." He says kissing the side of my face. "I'm so sorry you have to deal with this." He mumbles against my ear, kissing it afterwards. I choke on my tears and never let him go. He lifts my legs and warps them against his waist. His hands go under my thighs to support my weight.

I pull back and look at him. His watery eyes shine and look warmly at me. "Don't worry about later, I'm here right now." He whispers before softly kissing my lips. Feeling his lips on mine, I immediately melt and kiss him back. Butterflies in my stomach get intense when his hand slides from my thigh to my hips and squeezes it.
