CARLA
The sound of my phone ringing woke me up from my sleep. I was enjoying my sleep and wanted to sleep some more only for this annoying phone to wake me up. I looked beside me and saw that Jay is not in bed. Besides it's morning already, he must have gone to work.
I took my consistent ringing phone and checked the caller ID. This is a number I saved. It's that Jerry guy. He has been calling me after standing him up but I didn't pick the call. Point is, I don't owe him anything and I have a contract now. He won't stop calling so I decided to pick up.
"It's very disturbing that you keep calling me after I didn't answer. What's your problem? Find another girl. The last time I checked, I am not in any contract with you. Neither do I owe you anything so why don't you just stop." I said rudely.
"Wow. Easy princess. I understand that you don't want to see me but you must understa
CARLAI stared at him in anticipation waiting for him to say what is on his mind. I know I am hot and many guys want me but not to the extent of stalking me for so long.He sat on the couch looking round my apartment, he seems to be surprised that I live here. What's with the face?"Are you going to state your mission here or should I show you out?" I asked rudely."I am sorry. I was just carried away for a while." He apologized.I scoffed, "Carried away by looking round my apartment? Do you have something missing here?"He smiled, why does he keep smiling? Is it because he has dimples? Jay has dimples too. Just great. Now I am comparing him with Jayden. It's so annoying that I can't get that man out of my head."Yes. There's something here I desire so much that I can't stop myself." He re
JAY I love the look on her face after she realized what she signed up for. I wouldn't be this hard on her if she wasn't so hot. I can't stop myself from wanting her for myself and not wanting to see her with anyone. I warned her to read the contract but knowing how impatient and rude she is, she refused to read it.After listening to her argue with someone who I knew would be a man on the phone this morning, I felt the need to pull her away from more men. I am very sure those are her old clients. That actually makes me so angry knowing that her body has been taken by everyone.She left angrily, I couldn't stop myself from arguing with her. She is right, I am acting like an over possessive jealous boyfriend. I don't understand if what I feel for her is just lust anymore. Sometimes my body asks for the strangest things.I decided to come after she left. At l
MADELINE Argh! I hate her!My brother is acting like an idiot. He's soaring our family name in the mud. What is wrong with him? I was told that girl keeps coming to his house. Jayden would never invite someone like that to his house unless there's something else to it.I won't let this slide. I won't let anyone get in the way of my ambitions. I may seem to ambitious for my age but life has made me like this. Life gave all the food things to my brother and allowed us to be under him. That's totally unfair on my side.I bumped into another annoying person on my way out. She smiled at me while I flashed her an angry look."Hello Madeline. I-""You're not someone I'd like to waste my spit on Davina. Not after what you did to my brother years ago. You think I'll just let that slide and let you into his life? Think again miss." I state
CARLA "Wow. You're saying those two came to visit you at the same time?! This would have been a disaster if they had met here." Joyce said scooping ice cream.I sighed. I just told her about everything that happened in our apartment today. I still can't get over the fact that I would be going on a trip with that jerk."I don't know how I got myself involved with those two. They simply won't let me be.""Look at the bright side bestie. You have two hot billionaires fighting over you. You're so lucky!" She pouted.I frowned, "Oh thank you Joyce. You can have them for free. I'd be so glad to have them taken away from me."She laughed."You're so cute when you're mad. Come on, let's go get your things ready for tomorrow." sighs, "It's going to be so lonely without you. But
CARLAWe were led to our room by a guide. We are given one the best VIP rooms in the hotel. Someone also carried our luggages to the room while we followed another elevator. The person already got there and waited for us. The door was opened and we're shown our room.It's quite big enough and luxurious. I went to the window to check the view, we're on the top floors in the building."Why didn't we get separate rooms? Why did we have to be in the same room?" I asked crossing my arms.Though I know I shouldn't be asking that."Why do we need separate rooms when we're going to sleep together anyways? Or are you suddenly scared to spend the night with me? Did you forget your contract?" He smirked."Whatever. I'm hungry alright. Order something." I told him going into the bathroom.I decided to have a good b
CARLAShe has this look of disgust and anger. I don't remember ever seeing her before so what's her problem?"I asked you a question. Who are you?" She asked again.I crossed my arm, "Am I obliged to report to you? I don't think I owe you an explanation bitch."She frowned, "Oh yes you do. You were coming out of my man's room. I should ask you what you're doing there."I looked behind me to be sure she's not hallucinating. Her man? Who's her man? And why is the thought suddenly giving me a headache?"I think you have me mistaken for someone else. You've got the wrong person. I do not know who your man is. Please leave me alone." I tried walking away but she pulled me back.Okay thks bitch is trying my patience. I'm going to give it to her hard if she doesn't stop this nonsense.
JERRYI sat on the couch sipping my drink. I just arrived to this hotel for this business summit. I never planned to come, my assistant would have represented me but I eventually came. That's because I found out my angel is here.Yes my angel. Carla.I have fallen for her from the moment I saw her. I love all about her and wanted her for myself. But she always states that she wants no commitment. I would have offered her a life changing contract if she didn't stand me up that day.And this only happened because of Jayden Romans. I found out he dragged her away that day, now they're going everywhere together. I don't know what he did to make her accept him but I'll have her. This is the first time I'm picking interest in a woman after a very long time, not minding the kind of person she is.At least she's honest and blunt."Tell m
JAYI wonder if Davina still thinks that I'm stupid. Does she think that I'll be the same fool she duped years ago? She's one hell of a character. I decided to go out when I had an argument with Carla. She is very angry, it's obvious.I am still yet to meet this girlfriend of mine that went to threaten her. I'd like to know who she is, to have that kind of bold mind. I walked around the hotel and sat at a cafe.I got something to drink while checking the view. This place always reminds me of my childhood. Something I couldn't enjoy much because of my father. He thinks he's going to be happy where he is, I honestly don't want him to be."It's not a surprise to see you here but it's a pleasure." Someone said bringing me from my thoughts.It's someone familiar. Damien Fernandez."Good to see you too man." I shook his hands.
(Final Chapter) JAYDEN ~ THE NEXT DAY AT THE MEETING ROOM ~ All the shareholders and partners are around. I invited Madeline especially to be here. She looks clueless, she has no idea what is going on. Well, she planned to have the election by tomorrow, I'm one step ahead of her now. I bet she thinks she still has the major shareholders with her when she kidnapped them with their families. Madeline also has a share in the company. I bought those shares for her years ago, I planned to give her more when she gets married. I originally wanted to make her CEO for a short while so I can focus on my life. I wanted to see how well she can manage a big organization like mine, I would have given her control over everything. But she turned out to be an ungrateful spoilt brat. "I would like to talk to everyone here for a few minutes. I don't have much time to waste." I began. "My lovely sister here, wants us to have an election to chose who will be the CEO again. I wa
CARLA "Then can you forgive me?" He asked me when I gave him the advice to forgive his father. My breath itched in my throat, am I even mad at him? I have no idea what to say to him. He seems to have caught me off guard. "It's okay if you don't want to forgive me. I understand, I hope you understand how I feel too." He explained to me. I frowned, "Are you saying if I forgive you, you'll forgive your father too?", He nodded, "What? That's blackmail!" "No it's not. I just wanted you to have a feel of what it's like to not want to forgive someone who hurt you..." "Jayden..." I stopped him, how can I stay mad at him forever? I love him so much. More than anything, he's not someone I can chase out of my life. "I love you. I am no longer mad at you, I'm just angry you didn't trust me enough to know I've really changed when I said I have changed." He smiled and kissed my forehead, "I love you too darling. Forgive me for being a stupid and jealous boyfriend. I
JAYDEN "Carla!" I called terrified as I got into the ward. She is gasping for breath and the doctor is trying to revive her. "Mr Romans, kindly excuse us so we can.." "Shut the fuck up! Can't you see you're not helping her?" I yelled at him. I rushed to the bed and carried Carla in my hands, her eyes are open looking at me. "Darling please try, don't give up now. Please calm down. I'm here, I won't leave you. Stay with me Carla, stay with me." I said to her. "Jay...den." She called, then she started calming down. I sighed in relief, so did the doctor and nurse. "That's it, good girl." I commended her. The doctor checked her heartbeat and adjusted the drip. She rested her head on my shoulder. "What happened to her? Why did you let her get an attack again?" I scolded them. "No Jayden, don't blame them. It's not their fault, I got too excited." Carla stopped me weakly. "I am very sorry for this Mr Romans, be rest assured this would not happen again. I will ensure that." The doc
JERRY I stayed in front of Carla's waiting for one of them to arrive. None of them is picking my calls. I waited for a long time till I saw Joyce coming. I stepped in front of her, she moved back a bit startled. "Oh my! Jerry you startled me." She said, looking a bit nervous again. "I'm sorry. You are not picking my calls, neither is Carla." I apologized still worried. She scratched the back of her neck, making me suspicious of her. "Where is Carla?" "Umm... At this point, I should probably tell you the truth. Only if you promise you'll follow what I say." She demanded. I have her a nod, "l will do what you say. Just tell me where Carla is." I begged her. She sighed, "Carla is admitted at the hospital. She has been diagnosed with a hole in the heart for a long time now. She kept this from everyone including me. I recently found out abs I was so mad at her. She's about to have surgery, hopefully things will work out for her." I held the door for support, how can this be hap
JAYDEN I went to the office before taking my sister to the hospital. I checked on everything Madeline has been doing. The fact that my little sister became too ambitious and stupid worries me a lot. Did she seriously think she would get all my hard work easily? Did she think I would let her have it without a good reason. I was planning to make her CEO for a few years while I get established elsewhere. Now I know why mom always insisted I didn't do it yet. She would have done something tragic to me, I can lose everything I worked for. I stopped in Samantha's ward holding the letter Carla gave me. I smiled at the face she made when I kissed her. She was not expecting it, I seized the opportunity. It makes me sad to know that two important women in my life are going through the same pain. How could they have a hole problem in their hearts? "Aren't you going to come in? Or will keep standing at the door doing God knows what." Samantha called me from the bed. I rushed to her
CARLAJoyce stepped out of the way for Jayden to come close. I shut my eyes and opened them again. I never expected to see him here, he must have also seen that girl who is my lookalike. That should be the only reason he now wants to see me, not because he feels sorry for me. I recalled all that happened last night, I was spouting nonsense but I am very much aware of my actions and surrounding. He must have been the one who took me home also. He sat down beside me trying to hold my hand, I pulled my hand and looked away. "Carla, I'm sorry. Please hear me out." He pleaded. "I don't think you need to tell me anything. You don't have to believe me now that you have seen someone who looks like me. Keep believing what you always have and keep your begging to yourself." I replied harshly. I have mixed feelings. Anger and happiness. I'm angry because he never trusted me enough to believe what I say. He believed what he saw instead. I'm happy because he is here to apologise. I wanted to s
JOYCEAfter those men left last night, I decide to sleep in Carla's room. She may need someone to attend to her by midnight. If Carla can get drunk, then there's nothing impossible to happen. Carla has a high tolerance to alcohol so it is a big wonder how she got drunk, she must have taken a lot. Only a few bottles are enough to make me lose my mind. She slept for a long time without turning. I waited for morning before waking her up. The only problem is that she is not asking up as much as I am trying to get her up. I panicked, touching her body. It is very hot! "Oh my God! I need to get her to the hospital." I said to no one.I picked up my phone and called an ambulance, then I waited for them and used a cold towel to lower her fever. I'm really i worried about her. The ambulance came, I followed them back to the hospital. Luckily we are going to the city big hospital where Carla's doctor is. I waited at the reception scared and my heart beat very fast. I waited for almost an hou
JAYDEN"My life is a mess." I drank the last bottle of drink I bought. Carla once again has ruined my night. All she had to do was bring Jerry to the club with her. Despite all my warning and the fights I have had with him. She still chose to always annoy me. EARLIER TODAYI came back from another meeting, once I stepped into the office, I saw a familiar figure waiting there. I looked back to be sure I am not dreaming. How did my secretary let someone into my office without my permission? I don't think Fiona wants her job anymore. "Hi Jayden." She said with a smile. "State your reason for being here." I replied coldly. "To see you, I heard you have been working yourself up for days now. You refuse to rest like before, and you refuse to go out for some fun." She listed. I walked over to my table dropping the files there. "That's not relevant. It's none of your business. You should talk now or prepare to be dragged out of my office." "Jayden!!..." She shouted, then she spoke cal
JERRY I rang the doorbell for the third time wondering if there is no one at home. As far as Joyce told me, Carla is at home tonight so I am supposed to see her. She has been home since the break up with Jayden, she has refused to see anyone especially me. I don't know what else to do, she's not paying any attention to me. Jayden is no longer with her yet it feels like he's there everyday. This is worse than when she used to date him. I turned to leave when the door opened, I turned around and truly Carla is home. She stared at me with no expression on her face. Her eyes also look a bit puffy, I wondered what happened to her. "Hi." I said nervous. "What do you want Jerry?" She asked in a low breaking voice. "I came to see you. Can I come in." I answered her. She moved out of the way, "Do whatever you want." Then she went inside. I followed her into the apartment, I saw the living room littered with alcohol. Has she been drinking? "Carla, what's wro
