"I don't understand." Eric was still puzzled.
"My grandfather must have known all these and made me get married to someone else. I was blinded by my love for Kelsey, but I have found out already." Carlos took another glass of wine from a staff that passed with a tray of wine.
"You must have felt sick." Garrett who understands him said. Anytime bad things go wrong, Carlos always falls sick, but never shows it.
"Well, I passed through that." He sips his wine again. "I'm fine now, so please don't bring Kelsey's name up anymore. I can't stand it." He said seriously this time.
"Okay." They all agreed.
"Have you told your wife about this?" Blake asked, Triffany ought to know, she shouted be the first to know about it, it could give them a chance to have feelings for each other.
"Haven't got the chance to." He exhaled softly.
"You should tell her so that she won't misunderstand you and Kelsey again. I'm sure you love your wife." Blake
Triffany knitted her brow as he was disturbing her conversation."I'm happy." She said to Tommy, with her eyes on Carlos who scoffed."So how is the file editing going? You know you're submitting it next tomorrow." Tommy asked."I'm done with it." Triffany smile, luckily she had finally finished editing the chapters and sure she did a good work on it."You promised to let me see it first right?""Yes." She smiled. "I promised.""We will see next tomorrow then.""Okay." She still put on that cute smile on her face, still aware that Carlos was staring at her."Goodnight then.""Goodnight." Triffany put down her phone."What's the time?" Carlos asked with his eyes staring at her like dagger and his tone cold."9:39pm." She said nonchalantly."Then why?""Why what?" She raised her brow.Carlos exhaled softly, he knew he was boiling in anger, not at her but of that friend of hers. "Why aren't you sleeping?" He runs his hands through his hair.Triffany sighed. "It's none of your business. W
Triffany woke up from hearing some sound, she looked in the direction of the door where it wasring if Carlos was there.She knew he had warned her not to come to that room, but she had to find out what was wrong. She slowly turned the knob and there she found Carlos holding the picture with his face buried in his arms, crying.She entered without his notice. "Carlos.." He looked up when he heard her voice and immediately wipe off the tears in his eyes. "What's wrong?" This was the first time she had ever seen him in tears."Why are you here?" He asked her, but she walked even closer to him. "You should be in here."She looked down at his hands and saw the picture he was holding. "Is that your parents?" She pointed at the people in the picture.This was the first time she had seen such people, there was no image of his parents in the house, she hadn't asked, since it was not her place to ask and he wouldn't tell her too.She knew they were dead but haven't heard anything about them, o
Ethan hugged Bailey who was with her son's photo, they quietly sat together the next morning on a sofa. "I still think of him all the time," Bailey said softly, still looking at the picture."So strong-willed just like his son and you." Ethan held her hands softly. "Today would be a really sad day for my grandchildren." Bailey faced him. "They will cry and Carlos would act bold and try to hold back his tears which might even get him sick."She sobs as her husband hugged her shoulder. "You should consider your health honey," Ethan told her. She was fragile and crying could also make her sick.Bailey looked at him. "Don't act so strong with me Ethan. I know you're hurting in your heart.""We have Carlos and Gabby now and even Triffany, soon they will have babies too. Life goes on." His eyes were so gentle, looking up at her face."That's true Ethan." Bailey pursed, tears flow down the corner of her cheek. "But Gabby...Gabby can she stop crying?"
Triffany woke up the next morning, she looked over to the sleeping Carlos who was on the bed, she signed. She thought she have become more than someone close to him but she is only a stranger to him.Even her feelings which she opened up to him, still all she was, is a stranger and then what was the bathing together and the sleeping on the same bed together for.Well truthfully he had been honest to her, he told her that she's like a bathtub and a pillow, and now they are even strangers. She exhaled softly.She looked at the time. "Oh my god!" She exclaimed. "I'm going to run late." She rushed into the bathroom, brush her teeth, took her bath and dressed up.She applied light makeup, then she took her system and the things she had worked on.She looked over at Carlos one last time before stepping out of the room and was greeted by Gabby who just came out of her room."Morning Triffany." She got the same smiling face Triffany had seen the day
"Fun?" Garrett was surprised, how can she be having fun at work, his friend was saying nonsense."Yes." He sips his wine."How?" Garrett asked curiously."Hey, Carlos!" Gabby called out. "Come join us, come on." She waved him over."I'm coming." Carlos smiles and drops down his wine glass. He looked at Garrett. "I better go now, can't keep my princess waiting." He smiles. "Let's go have fun, Garrett." He said seriously."Okay." Garrett knew that topic had ended there, so he dropped his wine glass and dive into the pool.Splash!Gabby laughs. "Gosh!" She splashed them water. "That was a great splash!""Catch!" Eric threw the ball to Carlos as he caught it."Gabby I guess you should chase." Blake smile."Hey! That's unfair." Gabby pout.Carlos threw the ball to Garrett. "Don't tell me you want to back out without a trial." Garrett wink her and moved back with the ball.This was a challenge to Gabby and
"How?" Triffany looked down at her body and then at him."Those legs," Carlos said softly as his eyes sweep her body. Gosh! You.." He furrowed his brow. "Why are your legs so exposed?"Gabby sniggered, this was the drama she had been expecting. "Carlos It's a pool party." She told her brother.Carlos touched his hair, thinking of an excuse when he got one he turned to Gabby again. "She can't swim and the swimming is over already." His friends started laughing, knowing the reason he is acting this way already.Carlos put down his glass and stood up. "Triffany, come with me." He told her."Jeez! Carlos, we know she's yours already." Eric said clearly. They believe he was acting like this because he doesn't want anyone of them to stare at her seductively."She could get cold." He told his friends and turned to Triffany. "You need to wear something warm Triffany. Like a trouser.""I'm fine," Triffany told him seriously."Carlos can
Inside his room, he lay her gently on the bed. This reminded him of the past when he took the drunk Triffany back to his house and lay her on his bed.He smiles gently as he watched her. "Hey, Triffany." He called out."You're rude." She muttered and open her eyes gently. "You know I.. love yo..u." Carlos beams to hear this. "But then.." she closed her eyes without completing her speech."Then what," Carlos asked curiously."You wanted to make..a..fun out..of me." She scoffed. "You..you.." She opens her eyes again. "Kiss..kiss." She stutters pointing at his lips. "Kiss. You rude jerk!" She cursed him. "You should have a drink to it. Why..did you tell your friends and sister..do you have..any idea how I feel?"Carlos was enjoying this, now he had the idea to get her drunk whenever he wants to hear her deepest thoughts."How did you feel? Have you ever wish to kiss me before?" He asked her, but before she could answer she closed her eyes. "Hey
Carlos arrived home to see Triffany upstairs going through her clothes. He walked over to her. "What are you doing?"He put down his coat as Triffany looked up with a smile. "Guess what?" She asked happily.Carlos put down his phone, he doesn't have the energy to play a guessing game now. "Just say it already." He said nonchalantly."I'll be representing my company in a larger company, they've already signed the contract and I will be going there tomorrow." She said joyfully."Okay." Carlos smiled to see her so happy for that. "That's good."Yeah." She turned to continue searching for an outfit. "They saw my talents that's why." She made a little dance with her shoulder.Carlos scoffed. "Don't be so full of yourself you've got no talent in what you do."Triffany looked at him sharply with a frown. "Only you think that."Carlos smile. "Which company would you be going now?" Carlos sat down on the sofa."I don'
