Chapter 267

Today would finally be the day.

1 was finally going to meet the person I just couldn’t stop thinking about. Elena Torres.

“The wedding is not today. It’s tomorrow.”

I turned around to look at Tiago, who leaned against the door. “For how long have you been standing there?”

Even though we were both staying at my parents, it was quite a surprise that he even came to visit me. “I’ve seen you change your shirt about six times.” He admitted as he walked in further.

“Tell me, are you going on a date?”

I hadn’t really been vocal about my meeting with Elena because I wanted to meet her first-but this was the first time Tiago was talking to me, and I would make use of it. “I am,” I told him. “Am I making it that obvious?”

Tiago chuckled and sat down. “You haven’t even been here for a solid week, and you’re already going on a date.”

So that was it.

I could sense the hint of jealousy in his tone and felt tempted to call him out. He was the reason I was even locked up in the first place, and I didn’t have to do it. I did it because I loved my brother, but the feeling wasn’t mutual anymore.

“What do you want me to do. Tiago?” I asked him. “Am I not allowed to have fun? Do you want me to suffer here just as I did inside-is that it?”

“No-that’s not what I’m saying.” Tiago rolled his eyes. “I can just tell that you’re up to something, and I don’t want you to steal away the attention tomorrow as you’ve always done.”
