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. Diego has just been on my mind.

That man didn't miss a chance of getting me under his spell. He has this irresistible charm that gets me hook to him once his body comes in contact with mine.

"What can I do?!" I groaned, falling back into bed.

KNOCK! KNOCK!!

"Clara, aren't you going to school today?" 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. Will be ready soon," I said, dragging myself out of bed.

"Okay sweetheart. I made you a sandwich. Don't forget to eat before leaving," Mom said, distancing from my room.

I went into the bathroom, shutting the door from behind.

.

"See you later dear, " Mom said, dropping me at school.

I watched her drive off in her car, before I went through the gate, and into the building.

Crescent College, one of the best universities in the country. Only students with strong mind come to this place to learn, and I happen to be among them.

But lately, that joy I once had for this school has disappeared into thin air. And it's all thanks to Pedro and Jessica.

Those two ruined that school magic with their affairs, and it's because of them that I'm close to that annoying billionaire.

"Argh! I don't want to think about him! " I groaned, trying to take Diego out of my head.

Why did I bring him up?

His name alone reminds me of his tempting and hot body.

I still find it amusing that a man like him has such a figure hidden under his boring suit. Who knows how women will act if they happen to lay their eyes on it?

"Argh! I'm thinking of him again! Clear your mind! Just clear your mind!" I tapped my head, getting into class.

The first lecture came to an end after an hour. I immediately took my bag, exiting the class room for the cafeteria when suddenly, someone pulled me to the corner roughly.

"What the hell?!" I sparked, pulling my arm from the grip of this person.

When I looked, I gasped on seeing Pedro.

"You?" I uttered, surprise to see he's here in school.

He's the rich kid that hates to stay around in school. The bad boy that gets many girls tripping for him.

"What the hell is this, Carla?" He questioned, taking out his phone to show me a photo of me in bed with Diego. But Diego's face isn't showing.

I had taken a screenshot of the perfect scene in the video and sent it to Pedro that same night I caught him with Jessica.

I thought he wasn't going to react to it, but it turns out that someone has been boiling his brain for long.

"You dare to sleep with another man?"

"And how's that your problem?" I questioned, putting on a bold face, getting Pedro angry.

"You were busy enjoying that new girlfriend of yours, calling me useless. So, I said, why don't this useless girl make herself useful."

"By sleeping with another man?" He groaned, grabbing me by the arm tightly.

When I felt his grip, I forcefully pulled his hand off me, showing him my anger.

"I am your boyfriend, Carla. How dare you betary me for another man?"

"It's now you know you're my boyfriend? What about Jessica? Did you tell her that when you were riding her sorry ass at the hotel? No, you didn't," I said, reminding him of his action.

"You are the one who betrayed me, Pedro. I loved you but you chose to hurt me and go for that cheer leader! Tell me, who's the betrayal?" I questioned, standing confidently.

I felt bold expressing my anger at Pedro. But that courage vanished when Jessica showed up.

Her arms came around Pedro from behind, kissing him on the cheek in my front. That weakened me in a flash.

"My love, is this annoying brat bothering you? " Jessica asked, getting all cozy with Pedro while holding him.

I see Pedro welcoming Jessica's hold by returning the kiss back to her.

Sadness took over me, that I felt like leaving them alone.

"Where do you think you're going to?" Jessica questioned, dragging me back.

"What happened to the fire I saw not too long? Did it quench when you met your match?" Jessica bragged, smirking at me.

I see Pedro's eyes shining with delight, as he smiled at Jessica.

I felt hurt, slowly stepping away from them. But Jessica still won't budge.

"Don't leave yet. We still have a lot to talk about, Carla," She said, about to grab me back.

That's when the unexpected happened.

The moment Jessica's hand came at me, a hand from behind got hold of it, tossing it aside.

I see Pedro's eyes going wide in shock along with Jessica.

When I turned back, I'm left stunned to find Diego beside me.

What's he doing here?

"Diego?" Pedro called, looking stunned to find his friend in our school.

"Diego Smith," I heard Jessica mutter.

"So, are they the ones who have been bothering you lately?" Diego asked, drawing closer to me.

I felt my body shivering at his presence, that I had to nod to his question.

He hummed, looking straight at Pedro with that creepy green eyes of his.

"The last person I expect to cause Carla any problem in this school is you, Pedro," He said, pointing at his friend.

This is surprising. Did he come here to see Pedro or me?

"Since when did you and Carla become friends, Diego? As far as I remember, Carla can't stand you for a second," Pedro asked, glancing at me.

"I'm curious to know when all this friendship began."

"Don't think I'm here to joke around Pedro. Stay off my sister or you'll regret it."

"Sister?!" Jessica and Pedro chorused shocked.

    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

    DIEGOWith my hand, my office came open with force, as I pulled Clara in with me, shutting the door with her back against it. She gave a soft gasp when my hands came pressing against hers on the door, locking my lips once again with her.Her body moving with a sway, begging me to get closer to her.I couldn't resist her charm.I needed her badly.Without hesitating, I had my hand reaching for the knob, locking the door, before my arms lifted Clara off the floor and to the couch in my office.Her arms around my neck as I gently placed her down on the couch, trailing her body with my lips.Her scent taking over, slowly driving me nuts. Even if I want to draw back, I don't think I'll be able to let go that easily.There's something about Clara that keeps pulling me to her.I felt her hands on my suit, taking it off. She had me in her clutches, her body begging me not to stop.I wasn't planning on doing that. She started the fire in me, so she has to turn it off.My hands went for her sk

    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
