- I want to come back to you Frank. - Let keep going as if nothing happened.

I laugh without being able to believe it. I don't know what I'm doing here, this is stupid, talking to Scartlett is more than stupid.

I turn around and start walking, it's time to go. A hand holds mine and makes it stop in its tracks.

- I'm serious Frank, my love, I miss you... - shows "sadness" in her eyes. Obviously I'm not going to fall. She is nothing but a snake.

He tilted my smile and removed his grip with irritation. I don't even deign to talk, it's just a waste of time.

I walk again until Scartlett intercedes by standing in front of me.

I look at her with contempt and prepare myself for the barrage of stupidity she is about to spit out.

- Is it because of her? - she says with pure sarcasm - Is it because of that girl? - she insists.

I show a sideways smile by letting her know how proud I am.

- So it's because of her... - she speaks out of turn - Why Frank? She's not like me, she can never give you what I can give you, she's nothing like me! - she is exalted with anger.

A tear slips down her cheek and I just feel like laughing in her face. But what a great actress she is.

- It's true - she looks at me - she doesn't match you at all - her eyes shine and she seems to show a smile

- She’s not a snake like you, she's not a slut like you and she didn't fool me like you did...

I dodge her, ready to leave, when suddenly she hugs me from behind.

I am stunned by her act, her sobs are heard across the room and I feel her body trembling. No matter how much she cries, I do not intend to give in. I myself know well, that Scartlett is the best actress, her lies have only let me know that I should not even trust her crying.

- Frank, when are you going to forgive me my love? When are you going to let that go? I told you, I made it clear. That man threatened me, he told me that if I didn't he would kill me... - she cries.

I let go of her grip and turn to face her.

- Tell me something Scartlett, what if I wasn't enough for you? what if I didn't give you everything? I gave you my love, I gave you my protection, I gave you everything. Instead you wanted more, what would you do for more power, for more money? You got to the point of betraying my love and messing with one of my partners. You had the opportunity to be my queen and you just ruined everything...

- Frank understand me, I really love you my love, really, my heart only belongs to you... - sobs trying to touch me.

I avoid her touch.

- Stop being false - I speak more seriously - you do not love, you do not know what love is. So just stay away from me, I never want to see you again...

- Frank! Believe me! I love you! I love you my love! - Her crying gets worse - This place - points all around us - Remember? You and I used to come here, you used to bring me here my love...

- It is a pity. Now I hate the place that was once my favorite. I'm not interested in finding out, I'm not interested in anything that has to do with you, once again I'm telling you, get the hell away from me. You will never, ever have me, is that clear?

I turn around and set off again on my way. It is then that I hear his laughter. I turn around and look at her.

She smiles as she carefully cleans her face.

- You say I will never have you? – she jokes: Frank, I always get what I want... Whether by hook or by crook...

She tilted my smile and I prepared to walk. What a crazy woman...

Grace.

I look carefully through the crowd, everyone is dancing and laughing. Instead I am burning with rage. This fucker has disappeared with that woman.

I curse in low tone and I go to the back garden. I pass through the crowd and when I'm about to cross the gate into the place, I hit a wall of muscles.
