AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Diego’s gaze passed Jessica and landed on Roxane. He said with a smile:

– Roxane, I came to celebrate your birthday.

Then he raised his hand and handed her a jewelry brand shopping bag.

Jessica sneered, saying mockingly:

– I’ve never seen you so eager to celebrate Roxane’s birthday before. Why are you so excited this year? Do you feel guilty or have ulterior motives?

Diego looked at Jessica and said:

– Jessica Ramos, today is Roxane’s birthday, so I don’t want to argue with you.

“I don’t want to quarrel with you either. I reserved this room tonight so I have the right to tell you that you are not welcome here. She said arrogantly, raising her chin slightly.

Diego didn’t move. Instead, he looked at Roxane, who was standing behind Jessica.

Jessica said impatiently:

-If you don’t leave now, I’m going to call security.

Roxane tugged at the hem of Jessica’s shirt.

-Jessi…

Jessica said softly:

– Don’t worry. With me, he won’t be able to harass you.

She smiled.

– He won’t be able to harass me. Let me talk to him.

Jessica was worried, but she couldn’t say no to Roxane. Finally, she pulled away and sat down on the couch. She crossed her arms and looked at Diego with her almond-shaped eyes. If he dared to act inappropriately, she would immediately pounce.

A smile appeared on Diego’s face when he saw that Roxane was ready to talk to him. He said:

– Happy birthday, Roxane.

She took two steps towards him before saying:

– THANKS.

Despite her words, she did not accept Diego’s gift.

He raised his hand again, gesturing for her to accept the gift, saying:

– I specially chose this gift for you.

Roxane didn’t even look at the gift as she said in a low voice:

– I accept your birthday wish, but I cannot accept the birthday present.

Diego maintained his elegant and courteous demeanor, saying:

– Roxane, are you still angry? I admit I was wrong before. I’m going to apologize to you again, okay? Don’t be angry anymore.

If this was in the past, she would have quickly accepted Diego’s apology and said she was fine. However, now she didn’t want to do that anymore. In the past, when she was unhappy and uncomfortable, she had to force herself to say that she was okay. She kept giving in every time and had to be tolerant the whole time.

She says :

– Diego Rios, you no longer need to apologize. I have already accepted your apology. Now that our marriage has been annulled, we no longer owe each other anything.

There was no trace of resentment or reluctance on Roxane’s face. It was like she was facing an ordinary friend.

The smile on Diego’s face immediately froze. He glanced at Jessica, who was sitting on the side watching the show, before lowering his voice and saying:

– Roxane, I have already apologized and explained the problem to you. What more do you want from me?

She frowned slightly. She felt like she couldn’t communicate with Diego. It seemed like he didn’t understand what she was saying at all. Maybe he didn’t want to understand what she was saying.

In the end, she had no choice but to use Sebastian as a shield and said

– Diego Rios, I’m already married. I have a husband now. It’s really inappropriate of you to bother me like that.

Diego sneered.

– Married? To that gigolo from before? Are you ready to touch this kind of man? Don’t you think it’s dirty?

-…

Jessica looked at Diego like she was looking at a fool.

“Is there something wrong with his brain? Sebastien Flores? Dirty?”

-Diego Rios! Please show some respect.

Finally, a hint of anger could be heard in Roxane’s voice.

– Respect who? He said mockingly:

– This gigolo? How much did you spend on him? Or did Jessica pay for you? Look at the kinds of things you learn from her.

– Whore ! Diego Rios, holy shit…

Jessica stood up, furious with anger. She was about to rush out when a figure suddenly entered the private room and kicked Diego’s lower back.

He, who was caught off guard by the kick, fell to the ground. Before he could react, the other party had already moved forward to grab his collar before punching him in the face.

Roxane and Jessica were shocked by this sudden turn of events. They panted as they stared open-mouthed.

After being hit, Diego turned around and saw Enzo’s face twisted in anger. He roared:

-Enzo! Are you crazy?

He smiled disdainfully as he said:

– Diego Rios, do you still dare to show yourself in front of Roxane? Don’t you think you are really shameless?

Then he raised his fist and punched Diego again.

Enraged, Diego pulled out his fist.

Enzo didn’t have time to dodge and the punch caught the left side of his face, knocking him back a few steps to the side.

– Brother.

Roxane screamed and rushed to her brother’s side.

However, Enzo stopped him from coming to his side.

– Stand there.

Then he wiped the blood from the corners of his lips and said arrogantly:

– Today, I’m going to kill this bastard…

-Brother, don’t…

She had only taken a step forward when Jessica pulled her back.

– Don’t go there. You could get hurt.

Roxane watched as Enzo and Diego punched and kicked each other. The things in the private room were quickly blown to pieces.

Jessica was afraid that the two men would accidentally hurt them so she held Roxane’s gift in one hand and pulled Roxane aside.

When she saw Enzo being beaten, she shouted anxiously:

-Brother, be careful!

Out of the corner of his eye, Diego saw that Roxane was clearly only worried about Enzo. She didn’t even spare him a glance. With this, he became even angrier and fought even more fiercely.

The commotion was so great that it quickly attracted the attention of security guards, and they called the police.

Finally, they were taken to the police station.

Since Enzo threw the first punch, he was severely criticized by the police. Aside from that, if Diego decided to pursue the case, then Enzo would be detained.

Mina came to the police station with her parents. When she saw Roxane, she said in a mocking tone:

– My brother was kind enough to celebrate your birthday, but your brother actually beat him. Although you both have parents, it’s like you have no parents at all. What a terrible education!

Mina’s parents looked at Roxane coldly before leaving to look for their son.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Jessica, who had just made her statement, heard Mina’s words and retorted:

– It’s you who has no parents! What kind of trash do you spit out of your mouth?

Mina’s face reddened with anger.

-Jessica, you better watch your mouth!

Jessica was about to retort again when Roxane stopped her and said:

-Jessi, forget it. There is no need to waste your breath on this kind of person.

In other words, Mina was an idiot, and it was a waste of time to argue with her.

However, Mina clearly did not understand Roxane’s meaning. On the contrary, she thought Roxane was afraid. She said proudly:

-Enzo dared to hit my brother, we will not let this matter go so easily! Roxane, just wait until you visit your brother in prison.
