"I already thought soone had died," Gabriella hissed, shaking her head helplessly.
"Lucy, you almost made worried!" Simione shouted at the singer's absurdity but before she could dismiss her, Lucy clung to her arms.
"Sisi, how can you be like that?" Lucy contronted her lack of concern. "I thought you were also a fan of El Tigre? Rember what drove you in applying in his firm? It was because of your great obsession with him too,"
"Lucy it was a long ti ago, I was just a simple fan," Simione defended but all Lucy said was actually true. When they were still college students, both she and Lucy were obsessed with the El Tigre like all the other won in the country were. The man was simply a heartthrob and the fantasy of all young won.
El Tigre's popularity erged when he beca the youngest army captain in the country and was awarded great for his bravery and valor during the war with the militia—a rebel group that had long been a problem in the South. He and his n were on a very important mission and things just got out of hand. The whole country thought the young captain had died in war, so was his team but a month after, they miraculously erged victorious and unscratched.
After that war, El Tigre took off from the military and went into law school and just after a few years erged as one of the brilliant lawyers in the city who went to defend his fellow soldiers in an international military court. Many prisoners of war had been released because of his hard work and because of this, he was considered a hero by many.
These days, his popularity continued since many had been following him but the man remained secretive and had managed to keep a low profile, only erging when significant national cases were at hand.
His popularity had simply gone out of control, especially that he was always the standard of chivalry and gallantry by most elite bachelorettes and even big celebrities. However unlike Hawk Monsanto who was known as a woman evasive, EL Tigre had been involved with many won but none of them was introduced as his official lover and once there had been a huge challenge in the circle of socialites and big celebrities on who will be able to gain the title of becoming El Tigre's woman and singer Lucy was one of those who took the challenge for fun.
"A simple fan?" Lucy squinted at her. "You researched thoroughly for a few weeks prior to graduation on which firms belong to the El Tigre and applied diligently and you call yourself only a fan?"
"Hehe," Simione scratched her head. Truth was like Lucy she had also been starstrucked by El Tigre but had long given up her foolish dream in eting him in person. The reason primarily why she applied in his firm was because they say he had always provided good benefits—which was very true as Simione now worked in the company he founded for years. Second was that he hoped to see El Tigre in person and thought that by becoming his employee, she'll have a chance. However, years had passed by and El Tigre never once stepped in office, or probably he did; she just didn't know.
"But Lucy, you know El Tigre, he was never really into won," Simione changed the topic and tried to comfort Lucy's broken heart. "You know his reputation with won right? Many landed on his bed they say but none on his heart. Simply explains why until know, many were still after him,"
"Simione...Simione" Lucy shook her head with a very devastated face. "I know for sure his heart was already taken. This is not just another affair,"
"How do you know that?" Simione herself was curious. It's not like Lucy and El Tigre were friends so it's very impossible that Lucy knew so information about him first hand. El Tigre was a very important person in this country and so his information can be compared to those who worked as FBI agents, very confidential and most of the ti, he leaves no tracks on his whereabouts more so his relationships.
"Look," Lucy gave Simione her phone where a social dia app was opened. Interested, Gabriella and Simione looked and realized it was El Tigre's page on the screen. He had many followers in such an app, amounting to millions and although it says that the page was created a few years ago, there was almost nothing in his page. Just so basic information and one recent update.
"There's basically nothing on his page," Gabriella noted. She had long known about El Tigre but didn't understand such a hype so she never once bothered about him and for the past ten years, she had basically nothing on her plate but just her love for Erwan and her world revolved around that.
"There is one update Gabriella," Lucy chastised her for being so apathetic about her dilemma. Truth was the Monteria heiress was always a killer joy when it cos to her relationship with n and only Simione was supportive and tolerant with her madness about rich, handso and powerful n.
Since Lucy ntioned it, Gabriella looked again and saw the one update El Tigre just posted just minutes ago. He updated his relationship status and labeled it as TAKEN.
"The heck!" Simione was surprised to see that indeed there was an update. She was also a follower of El Tigre and the man never once updated his profile. Did he just basically announce to everyone that he already has a woman?
"See Simione? I told you, this is serious! Very very serious!" Lucy wailed at it when she saw that even Simione herself reacted dreadfully at the news. "Damn this life! I hate it that I have to scratch two n in my list! Well I don't mind Hawk being crossed out since his taste of won sucks but El Tigre? My Primo 'El Tigre' Umbresio? Damn! That hurts so bad! Huhu"
"Lucy," Simione then felt the realness of the situation. She didn't react at first because she sohow didn't think it was this bad but seeing about the update he just made, her heart went with Lucy. She hugged the singer on the floor and cried with her. Primo "El Tigre" Umbresio was the man of their dreams since college and right then their hearts were shattered.
"My God, you two!" Gabriella rolled an eye at their shalessness.
"Sisi, if I'll know who that woman is! I'll gorge her eyes with my own pretty hands," Lucy threatened.
"Of course Lucy. I'll study hard to beco a lawyer and I will defend you for murdering that woman," Simione promised to cover up her cris. "Lucy you have to make her pay for shattering our hearts...huhu…"
"Sisi, I guess that woman is so pretty but I'm sure the whole population of won in this country is in great outrage right now. She should hide or she'll be dead before she knows it," Lucy blabbered again so hateful thoughts of the woman who caused such a nationwide heartbreak tonight. The singer's claim then was true as the relationship update in El Tigre's account had gone viral and had millions of comnts, mostly won crying out.
"We shall find that woman and we will rip her heart!" Sisi exclaid and for so reason Gabriella who had certainly no business in their broken hearts felt like so daggers were rcilessly struck in her heart.
Lucy and Simione's dreadful threats to the El Trigre's woman get into her nerves as if she was the one they were talking about. She felt very uneasy then and wanted to run away then probably hide in her room because her two best friends' faces then were like mad won really to kill in the na of love.
"Can you stop that? It's not good to say sothing about an innocent woman" She chastised the two. Her voice was shaking in fear and she didn't understand why. Helpless, she took Lucy's phone again from Simione and started checking out El Tigre's profile.
No matter how her two friends blabbered about him since college, she never really bothered to check him out and since she was not the type of girl who watched news or be concerned about national affairs, she missed all his achievents all these years. Seeing how Lucy and Simione were very devastated then and how she felt unusual about it, she took ti to check him out.
"We'll I hope he is worth your tears," She said while clicking on the photo section link. His profile picture didn't give much of his features so she looked for other photos of him. She scrolled for a while through the few collections of his public photos and hoped she could find sothing worth looking at. She did find one and it gave her one hell of a huge shock!
"Fuck!" Gabriella instantly threw Lucy's phone away. Good thing it landed on the singer's bed because the intensity of her throw should break the gadget imdiately if it hit the floor.
What the heck was that?
Was it just her hallucination?
Because really….
How the heck did Primo "El Tigre" Umbresio looked very much like the man she f*ck just days ago?
