Hands still wrapped around her neck made her suffocated and face red but she didn't cry a single whine, rather she was angrily staring at his eyes measuring his lengths of selfishness.

"Don't touch her!" Alvaro standing behind rose his voice in absolute anger taking steps of protection towards Genelia when Alejandro's men behind rushed to hold him at one place.

Anger rushing his vessels as he roared aggressively while trying to get away from the hold of Alejandro's men behind.

Veins popped up as his eyes became red while eyeing the scene ahead, 2 men weren't enough to hold him at one place as 2 other joined to drag his waist and arms back in a tightest grip.

Alvaro was unwillingly helpless at that point, even if he was called to be the most strongest man Fernandez's ever had but right there he felt blood rushing insult.

With his existence beside Genelia up until now Alvaro let no single being lay a finger on her.

But right there he was witnessing Alejandro choking his master and he was unable to help her.

"Let go of me!" Alvaro growled deeply in a threatening voice as the men holding him tightly tensed up, almost giving up on him but again they remembered, Alejandro was someone they all feared the most to betray.

No way they would disobey Alejandro and have their necks snap for being weak.

Punishments are way nicer to name it but what Alejandro does is a torture.

Alvaro was trapped in that very moment when suddenly his eyes went towards the entrance of the club exiting 2 men with rich attires walking towards the scene.

Mateo's eyes widened at the view of Alejandro choking a person, it was as if some realisation hit him.

"Shit!" Soon he jogged towards the scene leaving Leonardo confused behind.

"Let her go!" If not Mateo had meddled Alejandro had no intentions of leaving Genelia, shock hugging him obviously to witness such a view.

Panic rose in him.

"You crazy!" Mateo mumbled pulling Alejandro's hand away freeing Genelia.

With a hard jerk he pushed Alejandro back in defence.

As Genelia backed off, Alejandro's men's grip loosened resulting Alvaro to free away and approach Genelia.

Mateo snorted in anger while looking at Alejandro's numb face for a second when his eyes then went to the lady in front of him in clear concern, who started coughing vigorously.

Alvaro handled Genelia's back as she gasped desperately for air palming her neck.

While Mateo's eyes widened as he looked at her gulping hard while speaking hesitantly. "Are you okay?"

Mateo analysed Genelia properly. Alvaro's concerned eyes were darted on Genelia as well, rubbing her back in formality. He still had guilt in his heart to bring her there.

Alejandro for a mere moment was still lost when suddenly his eyes turned very cold, glaring at the intruder his jaw clenched.

"Brother Mat, What the hell do you think you are doing-..." Alejandro yelled but his voice got cut off when Mateo faced him again angrily.

"Were you trying to kill your own fiancé?" Mateo's dark voice made the vibe all silenced.

"What?" Alejandro's eyes shifted on Genelia again who calmed down for good now. His eyes judging the scene of the two person ahead, Alvaro patting her back while panting Genelia felt her blood boiling at the sound of Alejandro's deep voice.

Her eyes were firm and red now.

Breathing accelerating, Alejandro's eyes were darted on her as hers were darted on him from the very start, the intensity was so extreme that Alejandro didn't even let a blink snatch the view away for a nanosecond.

Taking notes of her still heavily panting lips, suddenly his lip line curve upwards.

"Fiancé?" A questionable murmur from Alejandro caught the attention of Mateo.

"Yes, that's what I was trying to tell you up there when that girl interrupted. Grandfather gave me her pictures to show you!" Mateo said taking an envelope out of his coat's pocket before sighing out tiredly while looking at him.

By that time Leonardo approached them already, his hand on his waist rested firmly while he glared at the scene feeling frustrated.

"Wait up let me take that shit in!"
Licking his lips he snatched the envelope from Mateo's hand and looked at the pictures while looking up at Genelia then again back down to the pictures of Alejandro's fiancé.

"It's her!" Exclaiming in surprise he stared at her with his joined angry brows.

"It really is her. Your Fiancé!" Leonardo pointed Alejandro in surprise as he let a hateful scoff escape his mouth followed by a short laugh of mock.

Genelia felt cold vibes from the sound of Leonardo, now she was fully caught but strangely she wasn't feeling no fear rather it was anger and coldness for Alejandro who was standing in front of her all straight and proud.

"Lady, you gotta a lot of explain now!" Leonardo stated in an interrogated attitude. His adrenaline rush perked his attitude.

As Mateo held his arm signalling him to shut up but Leonardo just jerked his hand off.

"No wait. What are you doing here? In a place like this. Second who are you here with? Third, how dare you hurt our person!"
Leonardo asked angrily with no chills as Mateo held his arm tighter now while gritting his teeth.
"I think it was a misunderstanding!"
Mateo tried to calm the vibe when Leonardo glared at him from the side.

Mateo knew well, how important the marriage was for them and the betrothal between Alejandro and Genelia was years old and even if it was to be broken, it will solely be the decision of their Grandfather now.

Or maybe Alejandro who will oppose wedding her after discovering Genelia's today's actions?

Acting smart Mateo tried to maintain the calmness but Leonardo wasn't the kind to be silent in a matter like this.

"Misunderstanding? It was her in the CCTV. Chloe said it!" Leonardo argued with Mateo as the statement caught Alejandro's attention in no time.
Alejandro's eyes were still on Genelia as he saw her hand still on Alvaro's.

"It was her?"
All those lies which Alvaro claimed to protect Genelia busted out.
Alejandro somehow understood the situation well now.

"Yes, it was your damn fiancé who punched Chloe!" Leonardo exclaimed while again looking at Genelia, a scoff of disbelief escaped his mouth before preparing his next statement.

"This is the girl who was chosen to be your bride by grandfather? Someone who rebels around forgetting about her fucking identity-..."
"Brother Leo!
" Alejandro's warn stopped Leonardo's statement in middle. "If Brother Mateo said it is a misunderstanding then it is!"
Alejandro concluded as Leonardo's jaw dropped in big unbelievable awe after hearing him.

Alejandro was the type to never forget and never forgive, so him saying stuff like that was an almost impossible thing to happen.

"After all, no one rebels around without a cause!" Alejandro repeated Genelia's words which she exclaimed earlier as he smirked in weird sense of victory.

His eyes were mischievous.

No way this was happening, Mateo knew it was her and Alejandro knew that she was at fault.

Coming to a place like this and betting on a fight then punching their person wasn't any normal thing to do, besides she was the soon to be bride of Garcia family.

Then why are they two protecting her? Mateo's concern is still acceptable because he was strictly following his grandfather words but why Alejandro?
Instead of reacting angrily he was rather very chill to learn about his soon to be bride's daringness.

He should be raising questions on her upbringing and demand the cancellation of the marriage but he looked rather different.

In a way Alejandro protected her.

And that very thing not only surprised and confused Leonardo but Genelia too.

"You are kidding right?" Leonardo snorted in anger with his voice so done as Alejandro finally tore his eyes from Genelia before shifting his gaze on his elder brother hyping up in absolute anger.

"Do I look like I am?" He asked raising a brow on Leonardo for a moment before eyeing Mateo who was standing beside him signalling him what to do next with only his eyes, he wore no expressions.

Holding Leonardo's arm Mateo sighed again. "Let's go, I gotta discuss something with you!"

"You both are sick!" Leonardo exclaimed shaking his head as Mateo walked inside the club back again still holding his arm leaving Alejandro behind.

Alejandro's eyes again found Genelia's figure as he looked at her as if he was analysing her again but this time his stare had some meaning...

A smirk creeping his lips again as he stared at her not so pleasant reactions for him. Anger was visible on her eyes for him.

Talking short steps towards her he was approaching her slowly, soon he stood in front of her when suddenly a big built hid her figure behind in that exact second.

Alvaro's reflexes came on action as he immediately stood in front of Genelia in defence. Now his jaw was clenched and eyes were firm.

His action spoke louder than anything, this time he won't allow him to touch her again, no way he will do that.

Alejandro's steps paused at Alvaro's action, his eyes met with him who dared to step in his way. Again showcasing his dare!

A scoff escaped his mouth as suddenly his eyes became dangerous.

One hand resting on his pocket as he tilted his head a little to the right while glaring at Alvaro who stared at the earth not keeping up the eye contact with his master's fiancé.

"You are?" Alejandro questioned with his voice deep and husky. Wanting to know his identity.

He has been observing the both for a while now, the way Alvaro protected her taking all the blame, the way he perked up in anger seeing Genelia in trouble and the way he was holding her hand and rubbing her back.

Nothing got unnoticed by Alejandro. He noticed every little contact between the two.

That raised slight sense in Alejandro's mind. Alvaro was indeed a man of daringness to do all that in front of him, her fiancé!

"Bodyguard!" Alvaro kept it short as Alejandro let a small laugh out at his word.

Alvaro did not to ditch his morals but a sense of shame clouded his thoughts, he was still only a bodyguard who was in no position to meddle in between his miss's affairs.

"A bodyguard!" Stopping his laugh Alejandro sighed out suddenly wearing dark yet blank expressions.
His whole vibe changed in a mere second.

"Bringing her in a place like this and getting in trouble, what type of bodyguard does that?" Cold and dark, he sounded rude as Alvaro still looked down, not matching his eyes with Alejandro.

Guilt again hugged him upon hearing Alejandro's words. Whether good or bad, his intentions back fired him and he knew he deserves to be questioned like that.

He was at fault to bring her there.

Gulping hard with his regrettable thoughts, he collected his guts again to answer him. "I was wrong!"
Alvaro admitted with his voice guilty but sharp.

"And?" Alejandro raised a brow on him as he looked at his eyes still staring at the earth.

By that time, Alejandro already guessed him enough. Alvaro had too much self respect to maintain but he risked it all for only Genelia by taking all her blame earlier.

Alvaro can only do it for Genelia... Alejandro's fiancé!

And what makes Alejandro so bold and possessive was his right as a fiancé. He deserves an apology from Alvaro because Genelia belonged him even before she wasn't even born.

Plus as per Fernandez's promise, Genelia will be handover to him safely but only because of Alvaro's fault today... she was risked!

"I apologise-..." Alvaro sighed out with his guilty voice when suddenly a feminine voice cut his statement off.

"He shouldn't be apologising to you... someone who choked his own fiancé in front of the world!"
Genelia exclaimed with her voice strict as Alejandro's eyes caught her angry eyes again.

After a moment of staring at her he laughed off her words.

"Strange, when we betrothed you weren't even born. Now you can even talk back like that..." Alejandro said wearing a total foreign vibe.

"It's interesting... to see you all grown up to be a woman of guts but I am pretty sure your family taught you well that stunts like today aren't healthy for you!"
Alejandro continued darkly while examining her neck which was now slightly bruised because of his early actions.

"Take her home!" Alejandro then commanded Alvaro who still stood like a statue reflecting on his harsh words. Indeed he was beyond guilty.

Upon hearing Alejandro's order Alvaro nodded quietly. He was bounded by duty whereas Genelia was bounded by honour.
