CLARAThe Rector kept staring at Diego and I in total confusion. She couldn't believe what she just heard?"She's your sister? I... I didn't know you two were related.""That doesn't give you the right to suspend her!" He sparked, causing the Rector to shiver.Her reaction towards Diego's tone left me amused. I never knew she was afraid of him."I placed a call through your P. A to speak to you on Clara's behalf. It's not as if I didn't give your P. A a name, I mentioned and spelt out her Clara Parker to her!" Diego raised, getting furious.The Rector began to apologize to him, saying her P. A didn't tell her about it."She didn't tell me anything. Please wait, I'll straighten things out," She pleaded, getting hold of her phone.I watched in amazement.So, Diego did call the school to clear my name. He didn't forget.The Rector called the P. A to her office, expressing a raging tone, before slamming the phone down.Once the P. A arrived, the Rector didn't spare her. She blasted her wi

CLARAWith style, Diego helped me into his car while his guards stood aside, guarding us.In that moment, I saw myself in Cinderella's shoes, when she was being taken away from her evil step mother and sisters by the prince.But in my case, I'm being taken out of school by my billionaire step brother, with eyes on us.Can this day get any better?I sat in the back seat of the car and took a quick look at my school. Students had their gaze on Diego and I. The presence of the guards must have stunned them as well.The other door came opened. I looked and found Diego stepping in to sit with me.A guard sat at the driver seat the same time, before Diego gave the command, "Let's go.""Yes sir," He obeyed, starting the engine.Diego dropped his eyes at me, and I ended up turning my gaze in a swift, feeling funny.This doesn't feel like me at all.Whenever Diego looks at me, I'll be ready to give him the eyes and show I wasn't afraid of him, but now... It feels kinda weird.I no longer felt

CLARANight at the mansion, after taking a nap from the outing, I woke up to a thousand notifications on the pics and videos I uploaded.Everyone saw this and couldn't help but sing my praise. I felt like a queen."Diamond restaurant?! No way!""Oh my gosh! I've always wanted to be there.""Did you see Diego Smith? He clearly smiled."All their messages left me shrieking with excitement, sending me jumping out of bed in joy.What intrigued me more was the number of followers I had. It had crossed two hundred thousand!"Beat that, Jessica," I laughed mockingly, knowing well that Jessica doesn't stand a chance against me.I stepped out of my room in excitement, heading for the living room, just to find Diego sleeping on the couch."When did he... Why am I asking? I was sleeping."He sat on the couch with his back leaned against it. His head fallen backwards with his eyes shut."It's clear that he's tired from all the work." I kept looking at him, thinking of what to do next."Maybe I s

CLARAAfter getting Diego's message, I found it hard to take my bath anymore.I got out of the tub, pacing about the bathroom, and contemplating if I should lock the door or not."He said he'll be here soon. Think fast Clara," I panicked out in confusion.It's not as if I don't know why Diego is coming. I do know why he's coming here, and I really can't tell what my reaction is towards this."Come on, Clara. Are you just going to stand here and do nothing?" I asked myself, feeling my entire body turning hot.I could no longer contain the heat rising in me. So, I decided to take a cold shower to cool my head down."Maybe I can think of what I want to do under the shower. A cold water to the skin helps me relax."I took off my towel and stepped into the shower, turning the water on, as it came beating down on my skin.When it did, I felt much better.Again, I took my mind back to Diego's message, and asked myself if I really want to leave the door open for him."He's Diego, I know that.

CLARAMy holiday to Canada wasn't over yet.Diego took me out shopping in one of the nicest store in the country, giving me the go ahead to get whatever I want.I felt thrilled when I heard him, but needed to be sure he meant what he said."Are you sure I can take whatever I want?" I asked, taking hold of an expensive diamond necklace, just to mess with Diego. Mr grumpy was busy attending to his phone until I called his attention and asked, "So, you don't mind if I take this?"He looked at me and gave a smirk."Is that what you want?" He asked, gazing into my eyes.I felt a flush across my cheek as I gently dropped the diamond necklace, saying, " I was just asking, since you said I can have whatever I want.""Are you scared of me? Do you think it's a trick?" He asked, stepping closer to me.I hate to admit this, but I like whenever he makes his approach at me.I bet if we were alone, I would have melted right before him. But we're in public and I feel more like my old self.I stood u

DIEGO"Great work, Mr Smith."My business partners shook hands with me after our meeting came to an end."Let me see you off," I offered, leading the way out of the conference room.I escorted my business partners to the parking lot with my secretary, wishing them all a safe journey to their respected destination. Once they were gone, my secretary said, gaining my attention, "Sir, I didn't know that lady was your step sister.""Hmm. Now you know," I said, turning around, heading for the company."When she came that day, I thought she was among those nasty girls that always come to see you, " She kept talking, drawing nearer to me from behind.I could tell how close she was through the tone of her voice."What girls are you talking about?" I questioned, facing her with a glare.Her mouth came shunned at once, with her head lowering down.I know exactly what she's talking about, and I don't appreciate such nonsense."My apologies, Mr Smith, " She apologized."Keep your thoughts and rub

DIEGOAnother day to head to the office.My secretary just called, informing me about the arrival of a foreign client from Japan.Not wanting to delay, I made my way down the stairs, just to find Clara waiting for me.I thought she had gone already, since today was her last exam, but she's still around."Why aren't you on your way to school?" I asked, getting closer to her point where she stood.Clara shrugged and said, " I thought I should wait for you. Maybe if you could drop me off instead of a guard.""And you think I have time to take you to school and then to my office?" I lifted my brow at her."You do that sometimes, so yeah. You should have time. " She crossed her arms at me, acting like it's my responsibility to attend to her needs.Well, I don't blame her for being this way. I'm the one who made the suggestion to her mother, that I could watch over her till she's back from Italy with my father."No," I refused her, walking pass Clara."Come on! I need you to drop me off at

DIEGO"Love? Did I hear you say you love Carla?"I refused to believe the nonsense Pedro was telling me.He better not give me that shit."Look, I'm sorry for how I started out, okay? It's just that I was mad and upset with the way things are going," He said, leaning against my desk."I still love Carla, Diego. I still love that girl.""Don't tell me that nonsense, Pedro. You and I know very well that the word love mean nothing to you.""I still remember the day you introduced Carla to me as your girlfriend. You still went out with me that same day to have fun with some bitches at the bar. What about the day she called you to come see her Mom?""Diego.""You were standing next to me and you lied to her that you were busy with your father. Do you still want me to go on?""I'm dead serious, Diego. I really love, Carla," He defended."I don't believe you, Pedro. If you really loved her, then you wouldn't be messing with Jessica at the hotel the night Carla caught you," I revealed.Pedro

CARLAThe news of my wedding with Diego went wild like forest fire.Many saw the update on the net, going crazy over the news.They couldn't believe it.#NEWLY WEDHEADLINE: UNPLANNED WEDDING.That was the trending topic all over the net and the news.When I checked, I saw a video of mine and Diego's wedding. Someone had uploaded it for everyone to see.The comments were my favorite. What I saw left me smiling with joy."O.M.G! Their parents gave blessed them?""What?! I thought they were brother and sister?""I knew something was fishy between the two of them. Their sibling bond didn't look convincing to me.""Awwn! My billionaire crush is married. But she's so beautiful. I want to cry."I laughed when I read the comments. It really made my day.I thought I would come across negative response, but I didn't see any.Even if I do see one, I know the vampire who's responsible."Are you ready?" I heard Diego's voice from behind.I turned around and found the love of my life, my hubby, st

CARLA"What? How did she know?"I stared at Jessica in horror, as she revealed to everyone my secret relationship with Diego.This left my heart pounding with fear and my whole body heating up with speed.How did she get this information?I was troubled.Worst, I saw how everyone began staring at me like I was someone made out of filth. Even my school mates, and the cheer leading team that came, stared at me in shock.I felt terrible as my feet drew backwards from Pedro's side."This can't be happening," I panicked within, directing my gaze at Jessica. She had a cunning smile on as she went on talking, exposing my affairs with Diego."This slut always sleep with him just to get whatever she wants. So repulsive!" She scoffed out."This would explain how he always stands by her at school, even when she doesn't deserve it! " Jessica added, showing off her jealousy.The witch! She didn't leave the school without leaving me behind. She still hd something up her sleeves to get back at me f

DIEGOIt's just as I suspected. Pedro is the one who's keeping Carla away from me. But I couldn't tell what he was using to turn her mind away from me.In the remaining few days to the wedding, I tried to get hold of Carla, but everything was to no avail.Her lines were suddenly blocked. When I came around to her place to know what happened, she was absent. "She misplaced her lines. Pedro had to get her a new one. Isn't he sweet?" Mrs Parker had shared when I came over the third time to meet her.I was so mad that I had to go over to Pedro's place to find him. But I met his father instead. The old man noticed the rage all over me and requested to know what was happening."You boys no longer talk to each other again. Is there something wrong?" He had asked. All I could do was tell him that all was well."I just wanted to talk to him. That's all," I lied, leaving his home.But that didn't stop me from looking for Pedro and Carla."Where did you take her to?!" I groaned, feeling wor

DIEGOI couldn't accept this. What is happening? While Dad and Mrs Parker were celebrating with Pedro, I pulled Carla away without their knowledge, taking her right outside."Diego, what's your problem?" She uttered, struggling to pull her hand out of my grip. But I didn't allow it. Once I knew we where far from the house and away from anyone's interference, I turned Carla over, sparking out, " What the hell, Carla?! Engaged with Pedro?! Is this some kind of joke?!""No!" She responded, finally dragging her hand from mine. "It's not a joke. I'm engaged to Pedro. We're going to get married after our school and...""STOP IT!" I roared, leaving Carla shivering before me at the tone of my voice. My hands came wiping my face in frustration, wondering where or how to proceed with this."No, this can't be happening. You can't be with Pedro. You belong to me!" I said, grabbing her by the arm. Carla gave a groan, making an attempt to break free. But my anger was way stronger than her str

DIEGODesperate to get to the bottom of this issue, I drove down to Carla's home at once.On arrival, I noticed Mrs Parker leaving the house, before she spotted me driving into her premises.When I got out of the car, feeling my heart pumping... "Diego, it's so nice to see you my son, " Mrs Parker greeted, drawing closer to me.I gave a quick smile with my eyes falling on the house, trying to spot Carla."Did your father send you over to get me?" She asked me, getting all excited.From her words, I could tell she was heading out to meet Dad.Still having the smiles on, I said, " Not really. I just came over to see Carla. Is she in?""Not yet. She's not back from school, but she's on her way, " She said, looking at the house. I didn't know what to do, if I should head over to her school or wait here instead.My mind was just troubled. "Is it important?" Mrs Parker asked, showing concern towards me.Not wanting her to feel there's a problem, I smirked at her and made a request, "Can

DIEGOI finally have Carla to myself.She loves me just as much as I love her.I never thought she'd give in one day and accept my love for her.I just feel so... So..."Diego, can you hear me?" I heard, snapping out of my thoughts. I lifted my gaze to see my father looking at me with confusion all over his face."Are you okay, son?" He asked.I was at his office, sitting right opposite my old man. We were making preparation for the wedding which is closer than ever."Yeah, I'm okay.""Are you sure? I've been calling out to you but you didn't answer back. You're sure you're okay? " He asked, sitting upright. I hummed, nodding along, with my eyes dropping down at the list before me. "I am, Father," I claimed. But trust me, I wasn't.I stared at the guest list for the wedding, thinking about Carla and I. I've finally found love after so long of being by myself, and the only way I can make this relationship between Carla and I work out fine, lies within our parents. But how would th

CARLAMy eyes grew large at what I was gazing at. These were more pictures of Pedro having sex, but not with Jessica. He's having sex with other ladies!I lifted each pictures to have a good look at the faces of the girls in them. I immediately recognized three of them. They are students from this college."Isn't this that girl?" I pointed at one, recognizing the lady riding Pedro in the cowgirl style. She's the one I saw at the cafeteria with Pedro the other time.Pedro has been sleeping with her too?"Now is that enough to show you the kind of person your Pedro truly is?" Jessica asked in a mocking tone.I lifted my eyes at her, as she gave out a chuckle, crossing her legs at me with pride."That's why I called you a fool for taking him back after what he did to you in the past. You just blindly accepted him after a few fake love confession," She mocked, insulting my decision to be with Pedro after what he did to me."Can you see his true colors? He doesn't love you but loves ass

CARLAI joined the guys at the gym to have a crazy moment. The party was a blast, and I was even more amused with the fact that the rector, and even the Chancellor himself who came back from a long trip, didn't come to stop us from making such noises. You could say maybe they are in agreement with this loud and crazy party. In other words, they gave us the go ahead to celebrate.Haha!"Hey Carla," One of the girls interrupted me from my dance.She is among the girls who used to be Jessica's friend and teammate then. "What's up?" I asked, still swaying my body to the rhythm.She held me by the hand and said, after drawing closer to my point, "I know I shouldn't be poking my nose in this matter, but..."She hovered her gaze left and right, like one who doesn't want to be heard or seen with me.It felt... Suspicious.When she faced me, she said, " I know it's not my business, but are you and Pedro having a problem?"When she asked I felt a sudden skip in my heart over her question.A

CARLAThe remaining days went beautifully well.Diego made those short moments so romantic between us, that I almost wished those days wouldn't end. But it had to come to an end eventually. When it did, Mom, on Sunday evening, came over with Mr Smith to get me. But before I followed her to our home, Mom told Diego and I that her wedding dress was set and she would like us to follow them to the designer's store in two days to get it.She showed us the pictures of the dress and it left my heart aching with sadness."Just a week plus and we'll be a big family," Mr Smith said, caressing Mom in his hold.When I saw how they were getting all lovey dovey and cozy, I directed my eyes at Diego. He was just smiling at them both, congratulating them.And I had to join him in doing the same, feeling troubled about the relationship between the both of us.When I went in to get my things and leave, Diego and I met up in my room, staring at each other lost.There was no need to voice out my worri
