Chapter 32 Mixed Signals

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

ALMOST a week had gone by without Cara and I talking. I know she peeks at me in my room whenever she gets home, but I always pretend to be asleep.

I can lock my door, but I can't figure out why I don't do it. Every night, it takes me until dawn to watch k dramas. I do that purposefully so I would wake up late and get the alibi not to join Cara for breakfast.

Sometimes, Eroz, Zammy, and I hung out together. Because that was the only chance for Craig and Eroz to meet, as the days passed, the inexplicable feeling I had for Cara was overwhelming, and I couldn't even think about Craig anymore.

Maybe I've moved on from Craig somehow, and I can say that we're friends now than we used to be, just acquaintances and connected under the circumstances of being married.

We seem closer than him to his sister. Cara is always out, and I don't even bother to ask or to know anymore.

"Daphne." I suddenly stopped going down the stairs. I thought she had already left the house because it was one in the

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 33 The Power of Love

    Cara and I are already in the car when I'm pulling the seatbelt, getting irked 'cause it's stuck.I heard her sigh at the same time she unlocked her seatbelt to lean over me, fixing mine when our eyes met. I directly blinked my eyelids to avoid her mind-numbing stare.My heart rate is becoming abnormal in an instant whenever we're this close. I can smell her signature perfume that hasn't changed yet.Fortunately, she was able to fix the situation, and I was able to breathe easily when she adjusted back to her seat. I anxiously turned my eyes in another direction, calming my still-pounding heart.She began to drive, an indication of relief. Only when the car stopped did my trance return. I was thinking as much during the whole ride. Cara opened the door for me and offered her hand upon arriving, but I just dodged it, stood by myself, and got out of the car. I saw her slight disappointment, but I just swayed it.The colossal building first caught my eye. By the looks of it, it's obvio

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 34 Troubled Heart

    WITH THE additional achievement of Cara and Kazzy, we commemorated outside. We ended up at a club that Kazzy also owned. Her family is indeed wealthy and has many various types of enterprises. I found out, too, that Cara didn't spend any cents she and Kazzy had business with, perhaps due to her parent's will again. That's say how Kazzy believes in Cara's capability to the point of trusting everything to Cara, making her the CEO, too. While I was drinking at our table, Cara and Kazzy were having fun on the dance floor. I'm just looking after Cara, but it's like watching my favorite movie in the cinema. Every angle of Cara's body did not escape my keen eyes. She got the moves that could quickly get you hooked. Add to that its perfect body shape. Who would not be attracted to her? "Hello there," a husky voice suddenly grabbed my attention. "Can I join you?" Without permitting him, he sat next to me with audacity. I tried to stand and ignore him, but before I could do that,

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 35 Love in Chaos

    [CARA WHITE POV]What occurred tonight has again given me chaos and changed my mind drastically. I was unsettled by Daphne's horrible experience, swallowing me up by my insecurities, and I was more dominant in my heart, saying I didn't deserve her. We are both women, so how can I protect her like a man can do? I saw how she hugged Craig. Like an earworm, a catchy song or tune that runs continually through a person's mind, what Daphne said that she was still in love with Craig kept hunting me like hell. ...The reason why she didn't let Zammy court her. What should I do? Where should I stand? What is the right thing to do? What first step should I take? It was a mistake! Everything is wrong. I should let Daphne go where she belongs, and that was not me. I just laughed remarkably when I suddenly went back, mesmerizing old stuff. To begin with, when Daphne and I met, her green orbs were the foremost that got me. The first time she cried in front of me, I felt deeply obligated not

    "Cara!" My deep thoughts brushed off in an instant when Craig appeared. "Daphne is looking for you. Where have you been?" C'mon! Is she really looking for me? If you are already by her side? Mentally, I said. Isn't she with the person she's really looking for, Craig, my twin brother? "Cara, are you even listening? It seems like Daphne can't live without you by her side, so go." I just followed. If only Craig knew what he was talking about. He's the one Daphne can't live without, not me. I shrugged off whatever was on my mind earlier and went back to Daphne. "Cara!" Hearing her voice calling my name the moment I opened the door was enough to lessen whatever bothered me. I saw her eating pizza with Zammy. There was a pang of discomfort in my heart as I thought of something again. Just a while ago, she was not hungry, yet now enjoying the pizza brought by Zammy. Who else? It's just the two of them. "Come.. Have some. You didn't eat anything yet, Cara." I just followed her and sa

    Yeah.. Right! I am nothing whenever my brother is around. "Take this too. There's soup inside." I handed him the paper bag that was in my hand. Craig is currently feeding Daphne. As I didn't feel good about what I was seeing, I just took the bag with the clothes that Craig brought for me and went to the bathroom. Perhaps a good shower could wash out all the unnecessary I was dealing with. When I came out, Eroz was already with them. They were laughing at something I had no idea about. I took Craig's attention. "Are you staying? Gonna head home. I have an errand to do." I lied. I just wanna get the hell out of this not-so-good situation I got stuck in. "Sure.. Besides, Daphne is going to be discharged. So we'll see you at the mansion, then." I nodded, then turned my back to take off without throwing a glance at Daphne. I was about to tilt the doorknob when a voice lingered in me. "Cara.. Is that errand i-important than me?" I heaved secretly as my lips slightly parted. "Of cours

    We are now at Miho's club. Even before my ass warmed up, I started hitting the alcohol. "Slow down, Daphne. You won't run out. We're not chasing time either." Weaning and comment by Ziggy, who's beside me. "Ziggy is right, Daphne. We're not here just to drink but to relax from our pressures at school. Don't turn liquor into water," Bridgette said, preaching like a Priest. "Listen to them." Miho agreed and then led the cheers, raising his cup in the air. "but let's not ruin the night. We should have fun! Wooahh!""What's bothering you, anyway, Daphne?" Paul now spoke after sipping his booze."You know we're your friends. We're always here to listen to you." I appreciated his words and him. Should I tell them about the days that have been disturbing me? The feeling that I don't understand and keep messing up my world?I heaved a deep sigh, collecting all the courage in every spot in my body before I opened my mouth to finally unleash everything that I had been concealing for almost a

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 39 Missing One Another

    I didn't realize how many days, weeks, and months went by. Cara and I became like we used to from the beginning, okay as a sister-in-law and friends, but that was it, killing and putting aside whatever building-up feelings I harbored for her 'cause I knew it was running nowhere. I knocked off myself on studying, being with my friends, and hanging out with Zammy, which was also a big help. Furthermore, finally, I mastered how to drive and could leave the house alone with the car that Cara gave me.Now and then, I go to a place by myself to disentangle everything that is alarming me. I also noticed that Eroz doesn't seem to be visiting the Mansion. We no longer have secret foursome dates. I don't want to ask Craig if he and Eroz have a problem until one night."Daphne.." He called me with his hoarse voice. The spirit of liquor was so evident that I held back, contemplating if it was a good thing to have a chat with him. "Do you still love me?" He mumbled, approaching. "Are you alrigh

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 40 Chaos

    [DAPHNE YILDIZ WHITE]I haven't got the foggiest idea, but Craig spends more time with me than usual. Is this what he said we should try? Is he earnest about it? But who am I to question that? Is this not what I want in the first place? Why would I turn away when the impossible becomes possible? "Do you want to order anything else?" He asked me as the waiter who was standing waiting without saying anything. "I'm good, Craig. How about you?" I said and asked with a smile as I raised my face and lowered the menu. We are now at a restaurant going to have our early dinner. "That's all for now." He turned to the usher in front of him. Craig focused on me after the man left to tend our order. "So... how's your study?" "All good, even though we are swamped with all the activities and stuff," I explained while looking sternly at him. Why is that? Whenever he's with me, the image of Cara always enters. Is it because they look alike? "I may melt, Daphne, how you look at me." I was caugh

    It was challenging to leave Cara, but I had to, despite not wanting to protect the company she built and worked hard for. Even though our time apart would be brief, it felt like an eternity. I entrusted Kazzy to look after her, knowing she would provide excellent care. We have made plans to Facetime daily to bridge the distance and alleviate the feeling of being away. Since arriving discreetly in Spain two days ago, my mind didn't leave Cara. Craig made an excuse for a leave of absence as he needed time for us. We must go together to avoid suspicion. However, my heart yearns to be back with the woman I love. If I could just do things fast, I would. "Are you ready?" I stood up to meet him with confidence when I heard his voice. We rented a hostel that was not eye-catcher to proceed with the plan. "Of course. I have to be." I assured him despite my initial doubts about becoming a mother at a young age. I know that I am capable of embracing this new chapter in my li

    "Daph, I'm really concerned that you might get sick if you keep this up." I was lost in thought when a familiar voice broke through. It's been a whole week now, and I haven't left the hospital once. It's starting to feel like a second home to me, but not in a good way. It's as if I checked in, and there's no check-out date in sight. My attention shifted from Cara to Craig as he walked in, looking like he just got off work. "Have you eaten?" I asked, not paying attention to his words from earlier. He seemed like he was neglecting himself already due to his heavy workload. I didn't want him to end up in a hospital bed, either. "Let's not change the subject. I'm serious. If something happens to you, my sister will never forgive me. Worst.. She will definitely, no doubt, kill me." I stood up to tend him but felt unsteady. Luckily, Craig quickly caught me before my face hit the floor. "This is exactly my point!" He said firmly. "You're asking if I've eaten, but you're sk

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 50 Graduation Day

    A few months passed, and Cara still didn't wake up, but I never dared to give up or stop hoping that one day she would come back.. to me. She needs to come back to know how much I love her. That I am ready to love her completely, love only her. "Daphne.. Why don't you take a break? Go home. Rest assured, I'll keep an eye on her." Craig uttered, patting my back, but I don't want to. "No.. She might open her eyes today. I don't want her to think I'm not on her side." "Of course not. Cara will not think that way, Daphne. She knows you. You know each other well." He said those with a bit of a laugh in the end. "You guys are like twins. Something connects your gut. Okay." For an instant, I come to think of it. "Besides, don't you have class tomorrow?" He's right, and I'm kind of losing track of my Acads as my focus was on Cara's recovery. "Fine.." I lifted my hands in defeat. "..But call me asap when she gains consciousness." Craig nodded. From that day forward, Cara is a sl

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 49 In A White Room

    [DAPHNE WHITE]When I got conscious and gradually opened my eyes, I instantly closed it again 'cause of the pang in my head. I held on to it. "Don't move yet." I should have gotten up. There was this urge I could not stop from igniting within me. I must see Cara before it's too late. "Where's Cara? I have to go see Cara!!." I screamed out at the top of my lungs as I cupped my bandaged head. I heard Craig sigh, an indication that something terrible had happened. "Please, Craig. I need to talk to Cara. I can't lose her." I begged, trying to take off my bed. "Yes, Daphne. I understand you, but in these times, you have to put yourself first. Get well first." What I perceived was not processed in my brain. All I could think of was Cara. I have to stop her from leaving me for good. "You don't understand me, Craig. I can't lose Cara. She needs to hear what I have to say." I feel like I'm losing her. I seem to be late, messing things up, and I could not afford that to happen. This time

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 48 A Dilemma

    [DAPHNE YILDIZ WHITE] "Let me help you," I said, not heeding her words that seemed like a knife that could easily make me bleed. "Stop, Daphne! Just... Just go away. Get out!" She struggled with my touch. "Alright. Alright. I'll leave you alone after this." I just want to help her change and feel comfortable so she can go to sleep. "You are not listening, Daphne. I said leave!" She pointed to the door out. I gulp and freeze on my stand. This is the first time Cara has driven me away. She must be distraught by me. I couldn't do anything but follow her because I was already feeling pain from her sudden treatment. THE FOLLOWING DAY.. As I stepped out of my room, I was thrilled to see Cara heading out. We were so engrossed in our own thoughts that we accidentally collided. Our eyes locked, and in that moment, time seemed to stand still. Without a word, Cara drew nearer, and before I knew it, we were wrapped in a warm embrace, sharing a heartfelt kiss. This was only my s

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 47 Your Own Worst Enemy

    [DAPHNE YILDIZ WHITE] We just finished our two classes, and we are now heading to the cafeteria. While walking, my mind was too preoccupied. It's been two days since Cara unleashed her true feelings towards me, loving me romantically, in exactly fine words. It's just a simple fact, yet it seems like a storm that literally washed the hell out of me. Suddenly, my world had gone wild enough to sabotage my sanity continuously. I'm so fucking confused about what to feel anymore. What exactly is inside my chest? Is this just a phase that, as days go by, it will all pass? The day Zammy asked Cara if she likes me and I found out that I was only a responsibility and obligation to Cara, I felt terrible. Now that Cara said she loves me, I still can't get what my heart really yearns for. This is fucking fucked up damn shit.... "What's with the long face, Daph?" Bridgette's brows knitted as we settled in our seats. The noise surrounding us was like nothing, as chaos ran through my w

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   Chapter 46 Confession

    From the stairs, I already smelled the aroma of something that was definitely coming from the kitchen as I got to see the dining still empty. I walk through it, following what my nose lingers with. "Good morning." I heard her greet me without even paying gaze on me. How did she sense my presence as I stepped soundless? "G-good morning," I respond, stuttering. I can see that she's in the mood, literally not sick at all. What a trap, Daphne. You, indeed, know how to tame me. Lucky for you.. What bad luck for me. I was taken aback when she suddenly turned around, facing me while holding a spoon. "Taste it, Cara." Hesitantly, I still obeyed her, opening my mouth. I swallow and lick. "Not bad." Her brows wrinkled in awe. "You don't like it?" I just hissed, turning my back on her. Everything about her... I don't just like it. I love it, except for her mixed signals. Her confusing motif, actions, and behavior.Before I could go far away, she already stood in front of me. "Tell me

    "The fuck! You are going, Cara." Kazzy yelled at my back after I said to Daphne that I'd be home, just give me a half hour, and don't sleep yet. "I'm sorry, Kazzy, but I have to go. She's sick." I explained, walking inside to grab my things. "Sorry for your damn self, Cara. And please.. She won't die. It's just a simple sickness. Oh Gosh!" I just threw her a 'my decision is final.' look. "I love her. I will always put her on top of my priorities." Before I turned my back to her, I saw her sympathetic face as if saying that tonight was my funeral. When I reached home, I went directly to my room. Abruptly, I come closer to the woman who's lying in the bed. "Hey... Are you alright? Did you drink your medicine already? Since when have you been vomiting? Did you consult the doctor already? What did they say?" Non-stop, I murmured as I sat beside her after she lifted to tend me, leaning on the headboard. She did not say any words and slowly caressed my cheek. Her eyes were red,

    Many days had passed like a breeze without seeing Cara. As time went on, I couldn't bear to be without her presence, so I thought of going to her office, to pay her a surprise visit. I was walking in the hallway and was about to open her office door when I was stopped. She was with another woman. It's not Kazzy because I know her voice anyway. Perhaps her assistant or whoever. I didn't think about it anymore and just went in."What's happening?" Suddenly, my heart beat faster when I saw someone sitting on her lap. They stood up together, but the image of their previous position was left in my mind. "What are you doing here, Daphne?" I can't speak suddenly. It was as if something blocked my throat. My chest is tense up. I don't like how I feel. "Nothing in particular.. I just brought you lunch. I barely see you at the mansion, so I thought of coming here. Alright, I'm leaving." I quickly turned around after placing what I was holding on her table because my tears were about to fa
