DIEGO"What? But why? " Carla questioned me.From her face expression, I could tell she didn't look pleased with my decision.But I don't want her knowing the reason behind it. I want her to be safe with me."Just tell me you're joking, Diego. I don't miss school activities like that. It's just not me.""I can understand you, Carla. But I've made my decision. You won't be going to school.""Why? " She asked once again, making an attempt to pull her hands out of my hold, but I didn't allow her."If I tell her about Pedro, she might get uncomfortable and still prove stubborn with me. I'll think of something," I viewed, thinking of what to tell Carla, and just in the nick of time, the heavens blessed me with an idea."So? " Carla asked, lifting her brow at me.With a curv to the lips, I said while loosing my grip on her gently, "I made that decision because we have a lot of work to attend to. And it's something I can't do by myself, since I won't be the only one having a new family membe

CARLA"Let's start with this," I said, taking out one of my textbooks and placing it right on Diego's table.We just stepped in after arriving, and I didn't hesitate to get down to business."My professor is meant to teach this topic today. Since I won't be attending his lecture, you will be the one to do that," I said, sitting on the opposite seat, crossing my legs.When I looked at Diego, his eyes were shrunk at me, with his chin resting on the back of his hands."So? Let's begin.""You must be kidding me.""I ain't kidding, my dear brother. I mean what I'm saying," I smirked, taking out all my books and placing it on his table. His eyes grew large on seeing the number of books I got out from my bag. "Why surprised? Don't tell me you haven't seen such number when you where still in school?""Not this kind! It's like you packed a whole library in that sack of yours," He groaned, rising to his feet."Where are you going to?" I asked, rising to my feet as well, on seeing him making hi

DIEGO"Once that is achieved, the business would shoot sky high," I said, clicking the next slide, showing them a diagram on the screen.The meeting slowly drew to an end, with me passing out different tasks to my top staffs with the deadline. "It should be done before the actual date. Meeting is over." I turned off the slide, with all top staffs rising to their feet. I didn't use an hour like I had planned for the meeting earlier.Just thirty minutes, brief explanations, and we're done."Carla, " My mind went to that naughty soon to be sister of mine.Our moment was ruined by that annoying secretary.If Carla hadn't suggested I attend the meeting, I bet I would have postponed this meeting to a different day.I'm glad I listened to her. And now... "She must be bored. I should hurry up and see her, " I decided. I immediately left the room before my staffs, hurrying down to my office to meet Carla. At that point, I could feel that burning desire that came dimming down because of m

DIEGO"Already?" I asked, dropping my eyes on Mrs Parker, who held Carla's hand."Do you want another extra month?" She chuckled at me, with father joining in.I smirked, answering, "Hell no. A week alone is like hell with her.""Same here! Even a day is like prison!" Carla said out, acting like she wants to throw up.That got both my father and Mrs Parker laughing. I had to join in, even though I wasn't feeling that good about the decision."It's fine if she heads back home with you. In fact, I'll have peace of mind," I said, looking at Carla.She dimmed her eyes at me, while I teased her."Oh, goodness. I feel so tired. I could use some rest right now," Mrs Parker said, stretching out her arms.When I heard her, an idea came to my mind."You both just came back from a long trip. How about you rest here for today and you can head back home tomorrow with Carla. At least you'd be strong enough to leave without looking sleepy, " I suggested to them.I could tell Mrs Parker was going to

CARLAIt felt nice shaking hands with Diego, making peace with him at last. Although we've been doing fine for some time now, It still didn't feel like we've officially accepted each other as friends. But now, I know we are.I drew my hand back from Diego, as we both looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to do next."Maybe I should leave you to get ready for tomorrow and...""No, " I said unexpectedly.That got Diego looking at me curiously, asking, "No?""I mean..." I didn't know what to use and back up my response. It just came out unexpectedly and now I'm kinda stuck."Don't you want to head back home? Or do you wish to stay with me for another month? " He asked, letting out his cunning smile.I felt my cheek burning red as I gave out a chuckle and said, " No, that's not why.""Oh, then why the No? " He asked, showing his curiousness. Diego's eagerness to hear my response left me feeling somehow pleased.Aside from my mother and my late father, no one else has ever giv

CARLA"Let me go!" I screamed out while laughing, refusing to give Diego the board. He had his arms around my waist, pulling me back with him while I struggled to move out from his grip."Accept it, Carla. I've won and you can't change it.""No! I refuse this!" I said, still standing my ground.Diego's hands came off my waist, grabbing the board at once. When I noticed this, I tightened my grip around the board, struggling with Diego."Carla!""Accept defeat and declare me the winner! That way peace can reign! " I groaned, trying hard to pull it off his hold."I clearly won the game. Why would I accept defeat? Don't tell me this is how you bully your professors into giving you marks.""What?!" I exclaimed out, losing my grip on the board, which Diego immediately took away from me, settling it on the bench to finish it up.He didn't even give me the chance to ruin it for him. Just a hand was enough to hold me back. "And that's that," Diego said, ending the game.I screamed out on s

CARLAMy heart skipped on hearing Diego's request.He wants me in bed with him?I didn't know what to say rather than stare back at the man before me as his eyes remained fixed on me, caressing my cheek.Even if I want to say something, what do I want to tell him?The silence between us felt like a soothing music streaming into my ears. My eyes still on Diego, who had his hands touching every part of me with desire.There's no need for him to repeat his words, because his body was already doing the talking.Again, he locked his lips with mine, holding me closely like his life depended on it.I didn't have a clear word to describe his behavior. All I felt was that Diego needed to have more of me before I head to my Mom's place."I guess he wants to have one more round with me then," I assumed, submitting myself to him for the last time.Diego lifted me off the couch in a bridal style, taking me up the stairs and into his room.When we where in, he carefully laid me down in bed, bringin

DIEGOThe moment I stepped right back into my car, I felt my heart go heavy.That got me turning over to find Carla still staring at my vehicle, until I wasn't able to see her any more."I hope she likes the dress," I gave a light curve to the side, sitting properly.RING! RING!! I heard my phone ringing from my pocket. I got it out, just to see it was my secretary on the line."What does she want?" I groaned, answering the call. "Talk to me.""Mr Smith, I was calling to know where you are.""Is there a problem?" My right brow levitated at her words."Well, not really, sir. I was just... You know, I was just concerned about you, and wanted to know if you're on your way to the office. As your secretary, it's my duty to check up on you.""This is just nine in the morning and you're acting like I'm some five years old. Did I hire you to monitor my every movement?" I questioned her, getting irritated by her nonsense attitude."I'm sorry sir.""You better be."With the annoyance growing

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
