A/N: This fic is the 3rd installment in my Matt/Adrian saga, but this one is going to focus on Juan Corrida.
Why does it sound like the devil is laughing? Leaving me haunted tonight.
Juan Corrida's lawyer had managed to plead his charge down from attempted murder to aggravated assault. Now Juan was sitting alone in his jail cell, thinking back on the events in his life that had led him to this place.
He had allowed his foolish pride to take Celeste away from him, and now she was gone forever. Her suicide left his heart broken in a way that finding out the secret of her relationship with Matt never had.
Juan wanted revenge against Matt so badly... he had often heard that success is the best revenge, but he had yet to beat Matt in that respect. What Juan really wanted was to be able to take back what his angry words, the ones that led Celeste to kill herself. He had truly loved her, and it killed him inside to know that he was responsible for her death.
But that responsibility did not lie solely with him. Part of this was that damn Matt Engarde's fault. Juan was determined ot have his revenge against Matt, one way or another. When he thought of Matt, he thought of Celeste. The two were impossible to separate in his mind, because they had been together. Matt had dumped her suddenly after a long relationship... Celeste hadn't even been able to work at the same studio as Matt after the breakup.
Yes, Celeste was gone, but she had left a ghost behind. A ghost in the form of Adrian Andrews...
So now you know why the devil is laughing. He left you with nothing tonight.
