I stole the billionaire’s heart

"You're not going back to that douchebag! I don't approve !" 4

Aunt Lydia yelled in the speaker, I had to hold my phone away from my ear for a second. Geez, this woman. 5

"Tía," I sighed, massaging my temples. "I forgave him and Amari needs her father. I cannot keep her away from him."

"I don't care if you forgave him!" She hissed angrily. "He will never get my blessings. Not over my dead body!"

I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand. Amari who was playing in the corner, looked up at me confused. "Don't say that tía, you should learn how to forgive people. Life is too short," I took a deep breath and continued, "People deserve second chances."

Aunt Lydia scoffed and in the background I heard the shuffling of chairs. "So you tell me that rapists and murderers deserve second chances. For someone who graduated with a bachelor degree you sure are dumb if it comes to love." 1

"Tía !," I was so tired of her mocking me. Yes, I get it, she doesn't like Flynn anymore. She hated him and called him a manwhore. She couldn't believe what he did to me and she was so close to mutilate his balls. Good thing he lived in the states and she lived in Barcelona. 7

"You cannot compare a cheater to a rapist or murderer. That's like comparing a house and a chicken. I know he kissed that woman, but---," I paused for a second, "He's my soulmate, tía. We are meant to be."14

The laugh that I heard from the other side of the line sounded so false, I wanted to vomit. "Soulmate?! Do you even hear yourself, child! He's nothing but a cheating bastard. Once a cheater, always a cheater. He will do it again!"4

"Be reasonable tía!" I yelled through the speaker. Amari looked up at me and there was fear in her eyes. I hurriedly walked over to her and said in a soothing voice: "It's okay, princess. I'm not mad at you. I'll be back in a minute okay? Stay in the bedroom."

I walked outside to the balcony and continued, "When I was younger I did a lot of stuff I regretted later on and---,"

Aunt Lydia interrupted me. " You said it yourself! When you were younger. Flynn was an adult for god sake! I don't know when you will realize that, Chica!"
