I rushed back to the villa. I was devastated, sad and angry at the same time that I had been betrayed after what I had seen and heard today.

Leo is not who I thought. He used me! He cheated on me ! But how many times? Where ? When ? And why ? I had doubts when we were together, but there, I saw absolutely everything!

I was angry with him and her!

He who told me he only loved me and blah blah blah! And the other bitch who kept telling me that she and Leo were just friends.

Annoyed, I remove the ring from my ring finger and throw it in the trash. I didn't want that engagement ring anymore, it didn't mean anything anymore and it never meant anything because he didn't care about me from the start. I could not believe it.

Leo and Melina. Leo and his childhood friend. I had noticed that they were close, really very close for simple friends. I also remember that day, that day when I started to see doubts about their so-called "friendship". I never should have forgiven him that day, if only I was smarter and less stupid.

*FLASHBACK*

I had finished my work earlier, so I decided to surprise Leo, my fiancé.

I go to our house and enter the house quietly, however, I hear voices in the kitchen. That of my fiancé and Melina. But what the hell is she doing here?! She must have been in Spain, as Leo told me! Then why is she here?!

"When will we meet again?" Melina asked

How does "when will we see each other again"?!

"I don't know Melina." Said a deep voice that was none other than my fiancé, Leo

I'm listening to their conversation when suddenly my phone rings. Shit from shit!

"Who is here ?" Said Leo

I decide to show myself and I see Leo's head fall apart.

"Emily?

- Well what honey? Aren't you happy to see me?

-Yes, yes, but I thought you would come back at 10 p.m.

"I finished early." I replied coldly.

My heart sinks when I see Melina. She was dressed in a simple MY fiancé t-shirt and the worst part was that she was not wearing any shorts. She was in panties! Or rather in a thong!

"Melina, weren't you supposed to be in Spain? What the hell are you doing here with MY fiancé's t-shirt and panties on top?"

Leo and she don't answer me, and lower their heads, which makes me angry.

"You don't have a mouth?! And you fucking piss me off! Fuck you!"

I leave the house ignoring Leo's cries.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I remember very well what Leo said to me. That jerk told me she was wearing her t-shirt because she didn't have a change of clothes. No kidding ! She could have put my clothes on and avoided walking around in a thong. And he also told me that the reason she didn't go to Spain was because her mother was "suffering" and she didn't want to leave her alone. Yeah, that's it ! If she didn't want to leave her alone, why did she go to my husband's house, surely to comfort himself. Pffft! Comfort her in bed yeah!

I hadn't spoken to Leo for a week, however, I was so in love with him that I forgave him and today I truly regret believing in him and his love. He was making fun of me from the start and that's what annoys me the most. The fact of having believed in his words of love, of having given him my trust, puts me beside myself.

Why did I believe in him? Why did I fall in love with him?

There is only one answer to that, I was too naive! I believed too much in fairy tales, in prince charming, but fortunately now, I have opened my eyes. I have matured.

"Are you home my darling?"

I jump and turning around, I see my grandmother laughing.

"You scared me grandma!" I cried putting a hand on my chest

"This is my revenge for what you did to me yesterday. Remember? When you came in and screamed like crazy?

- Yes, I remember grandma, no need to remember.

"What were you thinking?" She asked me.

To Leo and Melina.

"To nothing." I lied as I sat down on the chair.

"Liar."

I blow.

"Grandma, I don't feel like talking about this right now."

She nods her head before staring at me for several seconds. But why is she staring at me like that?!

"What ?

-What what ?

-Grandma, you've been looking at me for several minutes without saying anything. What's the matter ? Something is wrong ?"

She nods her head in response.

"You're not going to like it."

Oh no ! I've already had my dose and she has to add more?! But why am I always in bad luck?

"What's wrong with me?

-Tonight, people will come to dine here.

-Okay, but where is the problem?

-Emily, these people are your parents.

"WHAT?!" I yelled as I stood up.

Tell me I'm dreaming?! I'm really pissed off!

My parents ? Did she say "my parents"?! Damn tell me I'm dreaming?! Is it bad news day or what?!

I think I'm going to pass out.

First I find out that my ex-fiancé has been cheating on me with his "childhood friend" for I don't know how long, and now my grandmother is telling me that my parents are coming over for dinner tonight when she told me she had cut off all contact with them. I wonder what will be the next piece of news that will finish me off.

"Emy? Emy? EMY!" Repeat my grandmother before screaming my name

I jump up and stare at her, placing a hand on my chest.

"No but go ahead, shout louder!" I said sarcastically glaring at him

"Sorry, but it's just that you weren't listening to me and...

-Yes, I wasn't listening to you and I don't want to. No, but do you realize what you just told me?! Have you completely lost your mind or what?!

-Emy...

-NO!" I cut her off, yelling. "I thought you had cut off all contact with them, so why are they coming here tonight?! Eh ?! Why ?!"

She lowers her head without answering me, which has the gift of annoying me even more.

I really didn't want to see them after what they did to me. I don't even know what I'll do when they're in front of me.

Ignore them? Hit them? Kill them ? Or just ask them why they didn't believe me and why they were happy for Eric and Melina's wedding while I was rotting like shit in prison?!

Yeah, that's what I can't figure out. Not only did they accuse me of "murderer" without proof and without even giving me time to prove that I was innocent, but they also attended my ex-fiancé's wedding party.

Seriously ?! What kind of parents are they? How can they do this to their own daughter? Their flesh? Their blood? How ?!

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I can't hear my grandmother who has been talking to me for a while now, waving her arms in all directions.

"Emily! I've been talking in the air for ten minutes and you know damn well I hate it! Get a hold of yourself girl!

- It's rather you who should pull yourself together, Grandma.

-I know you're not happy that your parents are coming but"... She said without continuing her sentence

She really pisses me off leaving her sentences hanging. No, but it's not difficult to finish a sentence!

"But ?" I repeated annoyed.

"But they told me they have something really important to tell me and that's why I agreed to let them come here tonight."

Something important ? Interesting !

"Do you know what this is about?

-No, your mother didn't want to tell me on the phone, she wanted to tell me face to face.

"Did she call you?" I asked.

"Yes." She answered me

"When ?

-An hour ago. Please Emily, don't blame me, I just wanted to know what she had important to tell me, that's why I agreed to her and your father coming here. If it was for something else, I would have refused. I beg your pardon."

My heart sinks when I see her lower her head as if she had just done something stupid. It's more up to me to apologize and not to her. It was me who did the wrong thing.

"No, don't worry Grandma. I'm the one who should apologize for getting carried away." I say taking her in my arms

"Aren't you mad?

-No more now. I'm so sorry I got carried away grandma. But I have a question.

-Yes ? Tell me.

-Do you think it's a good idea that they see me here? They won't try to convince you to kick me out?!

"Don't worry sweetie, I'll never kick you out, you have my word."

She takes my face in her two hands before giving me a kiss on the forehead. I feel so good with her, the only one who has been there for me.

"What time are they arriving?

-At 20 hours. You have plenty of time to prepare."

I nod my head and go up to my room. I then head to the bathroom to take a cold shower because I really needed it after this long hard day. If my parents come here, it's really very important.

***

I get out of the shower and check the time on my phone. I put on a simple dress and put on light makeup before going down to the kitchen where my grandmother was dressed in a red dress that suited her perfectly!

"Wow grandma! You look beautiful!" I exclaimed

She smiles at me and walks over to me before stroking my cheek.

"You too Emily. You look so beautiful in that dress.

-Thank you grandma.

-You're welcome my dear. Can you help me lay the cutlery?

-Sure !

I help him put the cutlery and when everything is ready, we head to the living room while waiting for these two imbeciles who serve as my parents to arrive.

I wonder how they would react when they see me. Would they be shocked? Angry? Disgusted? Or happy? Pff, I'm sure they will pull the face.

When I watched my grandmother wiggle her fingers, I knew something was wrong. She seemed extremely nervous, which is quite rare coming from her. But why is she so stressed?

"Are you okay grandma? I see something's bothering you? What's going on?!"

She gives me a forced smile before answering me.

"It's just, I'm very nervous. I wonder what they have to say and it must be really important because they come here. They only come to my house when it's urgent. I I have a bad feeling."

Me too by the way.

"Don't worry Grandma. Everything will be fine. I'm here." I said trying to calm her down.

But it's my turn to stress when I hear the doorbell ring.

My grandmother gets up to open the door and I already feel my legs shaking when I hear this voice that I hadn't heard for five long years.

"Are you letting us in?" Said a female voice that I recognized immediately.

My mother".

"Are you letting us in?"

My grandmother pushes herself slightly to let my "parents" pass.

I freeze when I see them. Five years that I have not seen their faces! Five years I've waited for them to come and visit me in prison! Five years that I have suffered from their absence!

When my mother finally notices me, her eyes immediately fill with anger and contempt. I smile at her to annoy her and I think it's successful considering the way she clenches her fists.

I'm glad you're here too.

I thought

"Maria! What is that idiot doing here?!"

She yelled at my grandmother

Granny flashes my mother and opens her mouth to yell at her but I cut her off immediately.

"Good evening. I too am very happy to see you again after five long years. You haven't changed at all. Still so stupid, arrogant, immature and hungry for money. Do you want a coffee? A tea? With or without sugar Or maybe milk? Or chocolate? I said sarcastically giving him a triumphant smile

She turns red with anger and glares at me, clenching her fists. If she had horns on her head and smoke coming out of her nostrils, she would be the perfect copy of the devil!

"That's enough !" yelled my grandmother.

"Maria, what is this whore doing here?!" Asked my "mother" again

"She lives here and if you're not happy and you're against it, just get out of my house, my door is wide open! I can even hold the wrist for you!" yelled my grandmother

My "parents" are throwing lightning bolts at me that I didn't know. I wanted to insult them and hit them, but seeing granny's glare, I immediately changed my mind.

However, an idea comes to my mind and I believe that this evening will go wonderfully finally.

My grandmother asks my parents to move into the kitchen, and looks at me strangely while I smile stupidly thinking of my genius plan.

"Why are you grinning stupidly? I thought you weren't happy to see your parents. What's going on? Are you sure you're okay?" She asked me

"Nothing Grandma and I'm fine, don't worry."

She squints, trying to figure out what I'm up to, then heads into the kitchen. I follow her and see my "parents" sitting at the table whispering to each other. It's not possible ! Those fools are surely up to something against me. Besides, I think grandma thinks the same thing as me given the face she makes.

"They look like kids, those two."

she whispered, shaking her head.

I laugh softly seeing the face she makes. She seems so exasperated with their immature behavior.

"What are you talking about ?" I asked them loud enough for them to hear me

They jump before turning around and throwing lightning at me. Apparently they only know how to do that.

"But why are you looking at me like that? Come on! Tell me what you're up to against your daughter. It must be so funny with the look on your face!"

My mother breathes heavily, clenching her jaw while my father smiles hypocritically at me before speaking.

"Well, we were talking about Leo. We're so happy that he found a woman more beautiful and smarter than you, and at least she didn't kill anyone on her wedding day.

-RICHARD!" yelled my grandmother

How dare he say that to me?! I feel the anger welling up inside me, and I clench my jaw and clench my fists with all my might to keep from jumping on him.

My father gives me a triumphant smile, surely happy to have pissed me off and shut me up. However, the game has only just begun and I won't lose to them, not this time!

I quickly calm down so my "dad" can get the smirk off his face before I lose patience and my fists land in his line-filled face! yuck!

"That's enough now! Stop behaving like four-year-olds! If you came here to do anything, get out of here now!"

yelled my grandmother

The poor. She screamed so many times that I don't think she would have a voice tomorrow.

"You're right grandma. I'm really sorry for my behavior." I say lowering my head

She sighs and takes me in her arms.

"It's nothing my dear. Can you serve the meal please?

I'm tired." She said as she sat down on a chair.

I smile and go to serve them, starting first with my grandmother and then the other two idiots who didn't bother to thank me.

When I sit down and enjoy my dish quickly, I notice that my parents did not touch their plate. Shit ! But eat good blood otherwise my plan will be useless!

"So Louise, what did you want to tell me?"

Turned granny to my mother

"Well, we found Elisa." Let go of my mother

My grandmother immediately spits out the water she drank and it lands on my mother's face.

Oh fuck !

I can't help myself and burst out laughing under my mother's dark gaze. Her makeup has run off and my god her face is horrible!

"What are you laughing at, you bitch?!" she exclaimed

I stop dead. Don't tell me that idiot dared to call me a bitch?!

Annoyed, I took a piece of bread and shoved it into her mouth before spitting in her face.

My grandmother pulls me by the arm while my father removes the piece of bread from my mother's mouth and gives me a murderous look and if he could kill, I think I would already be dead.

"How dare you do that to your mother you bitch!" shouted my father

Whore ! But he's not going to get into it too?!

He approaches me dangerously and slaps me violently. The slap was so violent that I fell to the ground, slightly stunned.

He did not miss this cretin! I caress my cheek as Grandma helps me up before yelling at her son.

"RICHARD! I DIDN'T RAISE YOU LIKE THIS! IT'S YOUR DAMN DAUGHTER!

"It's okay grandma, he's just an irresponsible father!"

He walks towards me wanting to slap me again, but I take the pitcher of water from the table and spill the contents on his head.

"You kind of..."

I don't let him finish his sentence as the contents of my plate land on his face.

And here is the job!

"ENOUGH NOW! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW! GET OUT OF ME!"

yelled my grandmother at my parents

They head for the door but first, my mother whispers something to Grandma and turns on her heels.

When they finally leave the house, my grandmother looks at me sternly.

Oh oh ! Grandma is not very happy from what I see.

"You're going to clean all this up for me Emily! No, but look at the state of my kitchen! You thought it was a dump or what?!"

she growled

"Sorry Grandma."

She huffs and fixes her gaze on mine.

"She came back.

"Who?" I asked lost.

"Elisa."

"When you say Elisa, you mean, my sister? The daughter of those two things that just left the house?

- Yes Emily. It's your sister who came back and she's the daughter of "your parents" and not of "those two things" as you say." She corrected. "And please don't call them like that in the future, they are not objects let's see!

I am both happy to learn that my big sister has come back because I really wanted to see her. I missed her very much! However, I'm also pissed at her for not visiting me once when I was in prison.

I needed help, comfort and support, and the only person who was able to give it to me was my grandmother. She was the only one who cheered me up when I was in prison. She helped me so much and I'm really grateful to her, but, I also needed my parents, my brother, my sister and also my ex-fiancé at that time, but, none of them didn't come. No ! I was sad and angry with them, they didn't even think of me once. They didn't even care what I went through in that damn cell.

I shake my head from the bad memories and start cleaning up the mess I made in the kitchen.

"I will help you." Said my grandmother to me picking up the dishes but I stopped her right away

"No grandma. Go and rest, you're really tired and it's my fault that your kitchen looks like a dump so it's up to me to clean everything up.

-Are you sure ? Don't you want me to help you a little?" She asked me.

"I'm sure Grandma. Go get some rest."

She nods and gives me a kiss on the forehead before going up to her room.

I gasp at the mess I've caused in the kitchen because of those two idiots who pushed me over the edge.

I then start cleaning before going up to my room, exhausted.

I remove my makeup, then take off my clothes and put on my pajamas. I jump on my bed and stare at the ceiling.

Even though my plan didn't work out tonight, since my parents didn't eat dinner that I sprinkled with salt, I'm still satisfied.

Indeed, I really enjoyed myself, especially the scene where my grandmother accidentally spat her water on my mother. She really looked like a witch, and even worse with her runny mascara. It was really awful!

***

The next day

When I wake up, a delicious smell comes to my nostrils.

I really had the slab since I couldn't eat last night so I get up quickly and run to the kitchen where my grandmother was preparing breakfast.

"Hello Grandma.

-Hello my dear. I made your breakfast.

-Thank you grandma, you are a sweetheart!"

I give him a kiss on the cheek before sitting down to eat. I eat the pancakes she made for me when she sat down across from me.

"Do you have something to do today?" She asked me

"No why ?

-I wanted you to go shopping, finally, if you agree.

"Okay, I'll go shopping after breakfast."

***

While I was quietly doing my shopping, I see a face that is familiar to me.

It was the handsome kid I met at the snack bar! Andrew Nelson.

"Andre!" I called her

He turns around, frowning but immediately smiles when he sees me. He recognized me!

"Oh hi! Emily right?"

He remembered my first name! I'm so happy but I don't let it show even if inside me it's the dance of joy.

"Yes that's it.

"What are you doing here?" he asked me.

No kidding ! I came to cut my nails!

"Uh... Logically, I'm doing my shopping."

He laughed lightly as he nervously scratched the back of his head.

"Uh...Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" He asked me, embarrassed

Tell me I'm dreaming! He just invited me to dinner?! A handsome kid just invited me! Oh my god I think I'm going to pass out.

"So ?"

I jump when I hear his hoarse voice.

"Uh...huh? What?"

He laughs lightly and I had to control myself to avoid jumping on him, he's so sexy.

"So? Do you accept?

-YES ! YES ! I ACCEPT!" I yelled.

I shouted so loud that some people turned towards us. André laughs as my cheeks turn red.

But what took me to scream like crazy?!

Suddenly, a little girl approaches us, a smile plastered on her lips. She is so cute !

"Mom! Look, the gentleman proposed to her." She said pointing at me

WHAT ?!

"No, no. It's a misunderstanding. He only asked me to have dinner with him."

The people around us congratulate us and while I try to contradict them, André takes me by the waist and places his lips on mine.

But what's wrong with him?!

I try to push him away but his lips were so soft that I didn't have the strength to stop the kiss.

He then pulls his lips away from mine and smiles at me.

"You are a good kisser." He said to me, giving me a wink.

Even if he's very sexy, I'm still wary because I don't really know him. I don't want to relive what I went through with Leo.

***

I walk to my car thinking back to the kiss scene I had with Andre. He is a really good kisser! I touch my lips and smile like an idiot when someone bumps into me dropping all my purchases.

But it's not true !

"BUT FUCKING SHIT!! WATCH WHERE YOU PUT YOUR DIRTY PAWS NEXT TIME!" I yelled picking up my purchases

"Maybe it's you who should stop dreaming in the middle of the parking lot."

I freeze when I hear that voice.

Is it really...

I look up to be sure and feel tears welling up in my eyes.

Nope ! I must be dreaming! Or maybe I went crazy after Andre's kiss? Yes it's possible ! I lost my mind !

"How are you Emily, after spending five years of your life in jail?"
