CARLA

"This can't work. I can't allow that man to be my stepbrother," I groaned in my room, pacing about in anger.

"I didn't know Mom was dating a billionaire. I wonder how they even met." I continued to pace about, until I came to a stop at the window.

I looked and saw Diego and his father getting into their car.

"Inasmuch as I love my mother, I can't allow Diego to be a part of this family. I'll have to end this union between Mom and Mr Smith," I decided.

It's the only way I can keep that beast from coming closer to me.

If not for Mom that called my name when Diego had me against the wall, he wouldn't have set me free.

Such a man can't be a part of my home. This relationship has to end.

I watched Mom wave goodbye at Diego and his father, before making her way to the house.

Quickly, I rushed out of my room to see her.

"So, what do you think about your new father?" She asked, grinning at me.

"Well..." I crossed my arms. "He's not that bad."

"Not that bad? Is that the best you can say about your future father?" She asked, finding my response unhelpful.

"I'm not saying he's bad, I'm just... It's just a that I don't feel that fatherly connection with him," I claimed.

Mom stared at me for a minute, before chuckling out. I thought I broke her, but she turned out fine.

"Silly girl, you know nothing. When we get married you'll change your thoughts about him." She poked my nose, walking into the living room.

I didn't know how to change Mom's mind about Mr Smith. It's clear that she loves him so much.

How do I want to ruin this relationship without hurting Mom?

"Oops! I better go get my things ready for tonight's date with your stepfather," She said, rushing upstairs.

"A date? Perfect." I grinned, rubbing my hands in delight.

"I'll ruin this date for them both. Once there's a smoke, the fire will surely flame out," I planned.

.

Eight in the evening, I sneakily came out of Mom's room, running to the living room to get her phone.

She's in the bathroom getting set for her dinner date. This is the right time to execute my plan.

I took Mom's phone and texted Mr Smith, claiming Mom won't come for dinner because she's mad at him.

The moment I dropped the phone down...

"AHHH! " I heard Mom scream.

I grinned, making my way up the stairs to see her.

"What happened?" I asked, acting all innocent.

Mom showed me her dress set for dinner. It was damaged from both sides.

"I can't wear this! Why didn't I check it before leaving the store? Carlos didn't even see it!" She cried.

As a supportive daughter, I sat beside Mom, comforting her.

If only she knows that her lovely daughter is the monster that chopped both sides of her dress.

"Don't cry Mom. Maybe you'll have to cancel your date with..."

KNOCK! KNOCK!! We heard a knock on the door.

On checking, we're stunned to see Mr Smith at the door. He's fast!

He stepped in to know what happened to my Mom. My Mom was too sad to respond properly.

"It's the dress. It's ruined!" She cried.

Mr Smith saw this but laughs at Mom.

"Is that why you're all sad? Don't worry, I got you a more better dress. I felt it's better if my bride wore something fancy."

Right before our eyes, Mr Smith gave Mom a beautiful silver dress. That got Mom smiling and me frowning.

"Is that why you texted me that you won't talk to me again?"

"What? I didn't text you? I wasn't with my..." Mom paused, directing her gaze on me.

When I saw her eyes, I tried to avoid it.

"Clara Parker, why did you ruin my dress?" She questioned.

Bursted.

"I'm sorry Mom. I had to because I didn't want to be alone without you," I lied.

And just like that, Mom fell for my lies.

"You should have said so than harming the poor dress." Mr Smith laughed at me.

I gave a smile.

"Oh! Let's call Diego over to stay with Clara," Mom suggested.

On hearing that, I freaked out. "What?!"

"Yes dear. That way you won't feel lonely." She patted me.

"You two can use this opportunity to know yourself better. I'll call Diego now," Mr Smith said, taking his phone out while Mom ran up the stairs to change.

I brought this upon myself. I tried to ruin Mom's date but got punished by the heavens again.

I don't want Diego here.

.

Diego arrived before Mom and Mr Smith left. I stayed in my room, making sure that I was far away from that man.

To sleep became a problem. I can't help but think of what he's doing in the living room.

Curious, I left my room to check, but found Diego laying on the couch, attending to his phone.

"Look at him, laying on my coach like it's his home. He better not mess up that living room, " I said, watching him.

I thought I'd leave afterwards, but my foot got frozen to the ground on seeing Diego taking off his shirt, going all bare chest.

That left my body heating on seeing his well built figure, with the tattoo of a dragon on his right arm.

"Wow, why didn't I take note of this before?" I asked, staring at him.

My heart fluttered as I watched him stretch out like he's about to do some press ups. The thought of leaving vanished. All I wanted now was to stare at this handsome man in my home.

That's when Diego looked my way, letting out a smirk.

He saw me! He knows I'm here!

Feeling my face flushing red, I hid myself, so he won't see me any more. But who am I kidding?

Sighing, I stepped out of my hiding spot and walked into the living room, sitting on the couch Diego sat on.

His eyes fell on me and I couldn't help but look away.

"Didn't know you had a tattoo." I looked at him.

"That's because you didn't take the time to look," He responded, leaning against the couch, almost next to me.

I felt my heart beating, unable to take my eyes of Diego.

"Can I touch it?" I requested, finding it silly of me.

But Diego didn't object. He drew closer to me, allowing our legs to touch.

I touched his tattoo, feeling the dragon design on his skin.

I gave a soft gasp, trying to control myself from the sudden temptation rising in me.

"Did it hurt?" I lifted my eyes at him.

His green eyes shone at me, as I felt Diego draw nearer to me. I didn't move an inch but kept looking at him.

His body came closing the gap, as he said, finding his way to my lap, "It depends on how fast the needle went in."

His hand went into my dress, caressing my lap. I felt weak, as my eyes slowly came shut, feeling Diego's hands taking over me.

"It all depends on the pace," He whispered closely to my ears, revealing how near he was to me.

Like some kind of spell, Diego had me in his hold. His arms carefully lifting me off the couch and straight on the ground.

There was no time to think of what's happening. He came in quick, dominating like the last time.

I moaned, feeling his thrust moving smoothly into me.

"You are going to love having me as your step-brother." His lips trailed my neck, brushing it with kisses.

My eyes came rolling, feeling how he pushed right inside of me, slowly.

A gasp escaped my lips as he increased his pace, taking over my lips with hunger.

I grabbed him close, moaning out with pleasure.

Every thrust he made, sent me begging for more.

"Diego!" I called his name almost like a scream, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"You are mine now," he whispered to me, going faster than before.

I had no words to say. This man has me under his spell.

    CARLA"I can't believe I allowed him to sleep with me again. Why didn't I resist him?"I sat in my room in the morning, thinking about last night's intimacy with Diego.I've been unable to sleep properly after Mom returned from her date.

Mom asked from outside my room.I sighed, remembering that I still have to get ready to head to Crescent College.Another stressful place to be in."I'm coming.

    CARLA"You must be joking. Carla is your sister?" Pedro asked, almost laughing at what Diego had said."Diego Smith, brother to Carla Parker? This is the most expensive joke in the world." Jessica laughed out.Their reaction to Diego's word didn't bother me. I was more concerned about why Diego would refer me as his sister.Did he have a change of heart after remembering our parents are getting married?"Stop this joke, Diego. This is not funny.""You'll know the difference between funny and serious when I get you and your handmaid troubling Carla again," Diego said, displaying his arrogant nature at Pedro and Jessica.For the first time I found Diego's arrogant nature pleasing to my ears.The looks on Jessica's face, when he called her a handmaid, left me smiling with delight."I won't repeat myself again.""Are you threatening me? " Pedro asked, unable to hide his shock anymore.That's when I felt Diego's hand falling on my shoulder. It sent my body vibrating, as I lifted my eyes to

    CARLAA few days after that incident at school, students at Crescent college couldn't stop talking about Diego and I.The school press had even done a paper with the both of us on it, holding ourselves arm to arm, right on the front page.This pleased me greatly."Pedro must be biting his hands just seeing this." I laughed."Carla dear, are you busy?" Mom came into my room."No. Is there anything?" I asked, keeping my phone aside.Mom sat next to me and shared, "Carla dear. Your step father and I will be heading to Italy for a trip.""Oh waw! The wedding hasn't even taken place and you two are already going for a honeymoon. Nice." I winked at Mom."Keep shut, you naughty girl."I laughed at Mom."Carlos has a business meeting to face overseas. He wants me to come along with him for a month.""A month?" I gazed, finding it too long."I know, it's too much, but it's important for him to head there and handle all the work at Italy. He doesn't want to feel all lonely there, so I have to g

    CARLAI felt disgusted by my own moaning coming from the phone in Diego's hand.I stared at my face, watching how I held him with so much pleasure, as he rode me like one who has been starved for ages.I can't believe he had his own camera filming us!"Just try me and see, Carla," He threatened, almost in a husky voice.I directed my eyes back at him, staring into those green eyes of his.I hate him so much."I've seen how your mother wraps herself around my father. Those two are the definition of lovebirds. Just imagine how hurt she'd be hurt when she sees this.""Don't you dare, Diego!" I raised my voice, making an attempt to move nearer, showing my anger. But I've forgotten he had me pinned against the wall.He scoffed, saying, "One mistake from you, Carla, and I'll make you regret ever crossing paths with me."I glared at Diego on hearing his threats. Why did the heavens have to make this man a part of my life? I don't blame my mother for this. She needed love again, and it found

    CARLA"Why aren't you saying anything, Carla? I hope Diego isn't covering up for you?" Mom asked.If only she knows what was currently happening behind this phone.Diego's hands came right at my chest, almost grabbing my boobs. That sent me yelling out, pulling from his grip and once."I'M A GOOD GIRL!" I yelled, running straight for the stairs to avoid Diego.I heard him chuckling while running. It's obvious that he wasn't coming after me, but making fun of me from his point."Geez! You don't have to yell out, Carla," Mom said, referring to the tone I had used.I climbed the first step and stopped, apologizing to her for the way I responded."It was a roach that caused it, Mom.""Really? A roach in Diego's home?" Mom asked, sounding like one in doubt."Yeah, a big one," I said, looking straight at Diego. The annoying man was leaning against the wall, staring at me. He winked at me, letting out a creepy smile that got me shivering."Quit your nonsense, Carla." Mom laughed at me."Don'

    CARLAI heard the sound of Diego's car engine picking up. That immediately gave me an answer to my undecided question."Wait!" I yelled, rushing out of the mansion to catch up with him.But by the time I got there, Diego had driven off with speed."Just look at him!" I groaned, watching as his car distanced from the mansion, heading right for the road.I felt like throwing out a curse word, but that's when I reminded myself whose fault it was. "I was just taking my time to think. Gosh, now I'll be heading to school alone without him. So much for helping out," I said, rolling my eyes.Just when I was set to leave on foot, one of Diego's guards rushed up to me and said, " Mr Smith has placed me in charge of you, ma'am.""Huh? Placed you in charge of me? I don't get." I lifted my brow, wondering if Diego hired one of his guards to monitor my every movement.But the guard said, " He instructed that I take you to school in one of his cars."The guard points at another Rolls Royce like Dieg

    CARLA"She will not join our team?" Jessica repeated, stepping closer while crossing her arms at me.I felt my heart swelling with anger while looking at her face. Pride, that's what was written all over her."But Jessy, there's no biggie if we add her.""Yeah, If she's not that good we'll teach her. That's how Lola was when she first came."The girls said to Jessica, thinking she doesn't want me on the team because she feels I have no skills.But that's where they are wrong. They are failing to see why Jessica doesn't want me on the cheerleading team."Are you girls deaf? I said she can't be on the team," Jessica sparked at her friends, leaving them surprised at her attitude."I'm the team leader here. I'm the one who would decide the person that can join and the one that can stay. And I say that this slut...""What?!" My eyes came large at what Jessica called me.The others gasped out on hearing her."You cannot join my team," Jessica said, standing before me, with a smile creeping a

    DIEGO"Get the conference room set. I don't want any mistakes made. It needs to be perfect." I walked towards the lift with my secretary by my side."Yes, Mr Smith. Anything else?" She asked, still trying to match her pace with mine.I could tell from the corners of my eyes, but I didn't care about looking at her.On getting to the private life meant for me alone, a guard was set to open it when I directed my eyes on my secretary, only to find the two upper buttons of her shirt, opened. Her Cleavage were bulging out, as she kept swaying them slowly in my front, repeating the same question."Anything else, Mr Smith? " She bit her lower lip seductively.As far as I remember, this bitch had her top closed corporately. I can tell she opened it just to get my attention.Having no time for her nonsense, I said, "Get the room set and button up before stepping in there."Her cheek flashes with redness, filled with embarrassment. She lowered her head down and said, " As you wish, sir."I humme

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!

    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

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

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?

    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

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
