My love?
Those words reeled through her head and she slowly pulled away from him and stared into his eyes.

It wasn’t the first time he was calling her that but it made her heart ache as she wondered if he knew what that
meant.
“Do you even know what that means?” She asked, her voice boarse from crying so much.
Marcelo was confused.
“What are you talking about?”
“You shouldn’t call me your love.People don’t just randomly call people that.“She turned away from him as tears threatened again.
“Renee, I’m not randomly calling you that.I called you that because…”
“Why did you help her?”
He blinked, surprised by her question again.
“Help who?”
“Stop playing dumb already.“She yelled as she stood up to her feet.
“Do you know how hard she tried to ruin me?!She was aiming at ruining my career and I did my best,getting the jewelries and…and running around making sure everything went smoothly, do you have any idea how tired I was when I played the piano.Even if I was looking composed, doing so much that day was so exhausting!But then what? You just swooped in and solved her problem?!“Renee let out with tears filled eyes.
Marcelo stood up, trying to remain calm so he could understand what she was saying.
“Renee, I genuinely do not know what you’re talking about
“Fine.I’ll spell it out to you since you chose to ignore it.Vivian wants you.She wants you to go back to her and since I’m hindering that, she’s been trying to sabotage me.She canceled last minute at that show and told her pianist friend to do the same.”
From what Marcelo knew when he followed up Renee’s show when she travelled.He heard the jewelry designer and Pianist had canceled last minute but he had no idea that it was Vivian and her friend who had canceled.
“I…I didn’t know that Vivian was the jewelry designer and you could be mistaken, Renee.Vivian doesn’t regard me like that. And what you do mean back to her?I was never with her.”
“Stop lying to me!I know everything about you and her…”
“If it’s about what you read online, they’re just mere rumors…”
“She told me herself.She told me you two were arranged to get married.She told me that if I had married Andrew as planned, you two would have gotten married.”
Marcelo’s jaw dropped in surprise.“She…she told you this?
Renee burst into tears again, thinking that look on Marcelos face meant he was confirming what Vivian had said.
Marcelo was surprise but when he saw her crying again, he knew there was no way she was lying.

He knew Renee was used to bottling up her emotions and always putting up a tough front.
But right now, she looked broken and he felt sad to think that her devastated state was related to him. He slowly walked up to her and held her arms even when she struggled to break free.
“Listen to me, there’s nothing going on between Vivian and There never was and there never will be
“You don’t have to lie to me anymore. You getting rid of her scandal confirms it all.”

“…I didn’t know!l didn’t know it was related to you. When she came for help, I didn’t look into it.I always don’t look into whatever she needs,I always tell Anna to look into it!”
“Why must you help her anytime she needs help?!Was giving her flowers at the airport also part of it?”
“She needed flowers to put on my brother’s grave.Vivian shouldn’t be coming between us because she was Sebastian’s girlfriend.She was…Sebastian loved her dearly and he made me promise to always look out for her!”
Renee blinked, surprised by that new revelation.
Sighing, Marcelo brought out his cellphone.
He logged into social media and to Sebastian’s i*******m from years ago,Sebastian was a very social person so he had been very active online.
Marcelo showed Renee posts from Sebastian’s page.
He had a lot of them with Vivian.When they went on dates, vacations and taking a walk.He seemed to have been so much in love with her because his captions were very romantic.
“I always find it weird when people ship me with Vivian online.I always wondered if they had forgotten that she was with my brother years ago.And it isn’t even because of the fact that she was with my brother, I was never interested in her that way and I never will be!”
Renee swallowed.
So Vivian had lied to her tonight?
That bitch!
Was Vivian hoping Marcelo would replace Sebastian in her life?
Granted, Renee felt sorry for her that she had lost her man but how could she shamelessly come after Marcelo. Plus,she was clearly using Marcelo’s promise to his brother against him.
Marcelo cupped Renee’s cheeks.
“I’m so sorry, Renee.I’m sorry.I genuinely had no idea that her scandal was related to your show.I swear, I would never help someone who had done you wrong.I…I didn’t know…I’m so sorry.”
Renee sniffed,realizing she really should learn to trust him more.After what he did tonight, getting up and running to her in front of so many people, how could she still possibly doubt him.
“And I know what it means when I called you my love.”
She stared into his eyes.
He looked nervous now.“…I…I love you, Renee.”

Renee blinked, thinking she might have heard it wrong.
“What did you just say?”
“I love you….I didn’t think I was capable of feeling this for anyone but I do for you.For you, Renee, I’d do anything. For you, I’ll give up everything I have.Renee, you’re the most important thing in my life.Nothing else
comes close.”
Renee swallowed wondering if this was a dream.
If it was, she didn’t want to wake up.
“Marcelo…“She murmured and started to cry again.
His heart broke.
“Renee,why are you crying again?” He asked.
Oh God,he hadn’t seen her cry this much and it broke him.
“I’m sorry,should I not have said that…I just…“He panicked, wiping her tears away.
She choked out.“I…I thought you were going to abandon me.”
“No…abandon you?Renee, I’m the one always scared that you might abandon me.”
She shook her head.“I…I can’t do that. You’re the only family I have. You’re all I have.”
Tears filled his eyes as she said that.
“I…I…made everyone see you…your plans… Catherine…it’s my fault.”
“No.Nothing that happened tonight was your fault. If I was given the chance to do it all again.I would act more quicker this time.But I hope something like that doesn’t happen again, Renee,when I saw those glasses shaking with you underneath, it felt as if I was about to lose everything, it felt as if my life was about to get crushed, I can not bear to have anything happen to you again.”
Renee hugged him tightly and sobbed into his arms.
She finally realized now that instead of jumping into conclusions, it was better to talk it out with him.
From now on,whenever she hears anything negative, she must talk it out with him first and hear his side.
