Chapter: The Price of Betrayal
Carla’s POV “Well, what are you going to do Carlos? Will you let go of my hand and take Catherine’s or you would do otherwise?” I stepped closer to him as my dreadful voice whispered into his ear. He swallowed hard out of anxiousness, his hands that hung loosely beside him trembled. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and I could see a mix of fear and hesitation in his eyes. He tried opening his mouth to say something but no matter the number of times he did, his words were caught up in his throat. “Just exactly what I had expected” I scoffed, with me shaking my end in disappointment. “See, you can’t even own up to your mistake. The only thing you can make use of is that thing in between your thighs and not your brain” I ridiculed him. Turning around, I walked out of the room, leaving him to be weighed down by his guilt, indecision and hesitation. As I walked away, I prayed vehemently for him to stop me - to call out to me and beg me not to leave but he didn’t. I did

Chapter: Kill for Me
Carla’s POV Night came and as I took each step towards my once abandoned room – our room, which used to be filled with love, my legs became heavy. It had been weeks since I moved out of the room and moving back in there – sleeping with that man on the same bed, felt quite awkward and upsetting. I was scared that I would lose my guard by being in the same space with him, preventing me from getting my revenge on them. Despite him having broken me, I was still so much in love with him and that fact alone made me hate myself. “Why can’t I just stop loving him? Why?” I had questioned myself countless times, feeling frustrated but it took me time to realize that you can’t just stop loving someone you had loved for years, immediately. It takes time for love to fade away and that brought me to the conclusion that Charles’ love for me didn’t end when he came back from the States. The love had faded away from his heart right when he was in the States, but I failed to realize that. Eve

Chapter: No Mercy Left
Carla’s POV. “You may be his wife, but I have his heart. Do you even have any space in his heart?” Catherine attacked, her comeback stiffening my body and piercing my heart with pain and ache. I halted in my steps, stiffened by her cruel yet truthful words. She was right. His heart belonged to her and I on the other hand, was just a temporary substitute for her. The pain of knowing that the man I loved whole-heartedly, never for once loved me back was indescribable. The pain was like no other – a deep soul-crushing ache, that radiated into every corner of my body. I was furious, infuriated, disdained, lost and helpless. I felt like collapsing onto the floor and crying my eyes out but when I realized that would be me granting Catherine’s desire of seeing me fail, I resisted, sniffing back my tears. I shouldn’t be the one to cry, shouldn’t be the one in pain and agony. They should be because they were the ones who caused my joy to cease. With my fists clenched, I turned to f

Chapter: Her Outburst
Carla’s POV“What? What the hell did you just do?” Aurora yelled as she stomped her feet, with her hand on her cheek.In shock, Catherine rose to her feet and I could sense how terrified she was by my action, from her trembling hand, which hung loosely beside her.“What? I don’t have the right to slap you but you have the right to belittle my daughter and I in the presence of this whore? You must be a joker” I scoffed with my finger pointed at Catherine, whose hand was still trembling.“Carla, have you gone nut? How dare you lay your hands on your sister-in-law? Do you even know the implication of what you have done?!!” Aunt Stephanie snapped as she swiftly rose to her feet, as if ready to lung at me.“What? I can’t discipline her? I am only doing what you are suppose to have done as her mother and which obviously, you failed to. Do you even deserve to be called a mum? Because none of your attitude depicts that of one” I spat disgustingly.“What? How dare you question my motherhood?”

Chapter: A Heart in Ruins
Carla’s POV. I felt a blade slicing through my soul – sharp, precise and merciless. My breath caught in my throat, suffocating my life out of me. “So, I had been his tool all along? He never loved me?” I ruminated as my head spun, with tears streaming down my eyes. My heart raced as I remembered the deception that laid beneath his touch, the smile, his words and promises. “You are crying?” Aunt Stephanie asked as she giggled. “This is not the right time for you to cry. I feel you should postpone it as you will become more hurt, heartbroken and suffocated going forward. Be on the outlook for it, loser” she scoffed before she proceeded to take her leave. The moment she turned to leave, her eyes met with that of Carlos who had been standing behind her all along. Her body language said it all – that she was shocked – that she wasn’t aware of Carlos’ presence. She said some words to Carlos which I didn’t hear, due to the fact that I was withdrawn. I was emotionally drai
