Diego Montenegro

Diego Montenegro kept his gaze fixed on the young woman in front of him, taking in every feature… as if they were no longer familiar. “Hahaha… it’s been a while, hasn’t it? How curious. ” He murmured with a lopsided smile, slowly twirling the glass between his fingers. “If you came looking for me… you’d better get down on your knees and beg. ” Beside him, a girl who looked very much like Valeria rested her head against his chest, clinging to him with an almost calculated gentleness. Innocent… or at least, that’s what she tried to appear. But in front of him was Valeria Mendoza, the same one who years before had left him behind and humiliated him for a couple of bills. Did he really think everything was the same? That he would be her lapdog no matter how much time passed? Diego’s smile tightened slightly. Because the boy he once was… no longer existed. Diego Montenegro was no longer a lost teenager; now he was an adult who knew exactly what he wanted. (Read description for context)

Diego Montenegro's mother watched helplessly as Valeria manipulated her son, so she paid Valeria Mendoza to leave his life. Valeria obeyed her orders and left, leaving a void in Diego's life. Years later, his mother contacts her again because Diego has become an arrogant and immature heir. Fearing for his future, the mother calls Valeria once more to re-educate him. Valeria agrees for a large sum of money, searching for him and finding him in a rather luxurious bar of the time, surrounded by his friends and coworkers, as well as several young women in form-fitting dresses. When she finds Diego, she sees him with a girl who looks very much like her, only with delicate and vulnerable features.
