DIEGO"A brother, that's who I am to her?" I uttered, slowly walking through the path, all alone.Though the music from the Hall could be heard echoing around, it still felt all silent to me.I walked further with flashbacks of Carla and I, flooding my memories. Her laughter, her smiles, her silliness... All those attributes that always planted a glow in my heart, now stabbed me right in that same place."Love? Rubbish! She still loves the same person that left her shattered? She can go to hell for all I care."I stormed on, taking a turn to the next path leading to the party, only to meet father before me.We almost bumped into each other, but I was able to step back quickly. "Father?""Son, here you are. I've been looking for you, " He said, drawing closer to me."What happened back there? I was calling and you just walked out." Father asked, placing his hand on my shoulder."It's... It's nothing," I claimed, trying to hide the annoyance rising in me."You can't tell me it's nothi

CARLA"Diego!" I called out to him, but he didn't listen, nor did he turn back to look at me.This left my heart aching, watching him exit the hall in rage."Diego!" Pedro also called out, but gave a sigh when he left."Everything would be fine, Carla. He's my friend. I know the kind of man he is. He'll be fine," Pedro assured me, placing his arm around my shoulder.I felt discomfort filling my body, staring out to the entrance Diego had taken.I don't want this raging feeling between us to last. I don't want him to... "Carla," My mother called me from behind.I turned around with Pedro to see both Mr Smith and my mother, coming closer to us.Their eyes scanning around before Mr Smith asked, " Where's Diego? I thought we just saw him here?""Diego? He... Em..." I stammered, thinking about his face expression on seeing Pedro and I together."He what?" Mom asked."He got a call and left the party. Seems it's an emergency or so," Pedro lied to them.Though they had a sign of disbelief w

CARLA"Maybe he went somewhere. I'm sure he's fine," Mom assured Mr Smith, so he won't get worried about his son."Well, if you say so then. I'm just worried about my boy. He hasn't been himself after the incident," Mr Smith said, sighing out.That got me feeling upset within.He left because of me, now we don't know where exactly he has gone to.Seeing the troubled look in Mr Smith's eyes, I had to step in and keep his mind calm."He said he had something to attend to before leaving. Maybe it's not work related. But don't worry, I'm sure he'd be back. He's Diego after all."Both Mom and Mr Smith smiled at me, finally feeling better."You're right. He's Diego after all. Seems you know your brother better than I do, " He said letting out a chuckle. I managed to give a smile, still worried about Diego's whereabout.Mom and I soon left for home while Mr Smith headed for his, promising to put a call through to Diego when he gets home.That night in my room, I couldn't sleep.I even lost

CARLA"Girlfriend? Tell me you're joking, Pedro?" Jessica demanded, showing her displeasure to the sudden news from Pedro.But Pedro proved he wasn't.His arm came cupping my waist before all, leaving a strange feeling engulfing my heart.Jessica's eyes widened at the sight of this."You heard me right. Carla and I are back together," He repeated.But Jessica wouldn't budge."Shut up! Just shut up!" She yelled out at Pedro."You are lying! I am your girlfriend! This... This..."She faced me and gave out a growl like a raging beast."You bitch! You stole my boyfriend!" She yelled out, charging at me with speed.Jessica came throwing her arms at me, trying to scratch my face with her nails. But Pedro was quick to protect me.He immediately pulled me back, grabbing Jessica away from me."Jessica!" He yelled at her, dragging her back, but she kept shouting, calling me names."Whore! Your secret lover couldn't satisfy you so you came crawling back to my boyfriend! You are a slut!" Her wor

CARLAI felt frozen just staring at Diego, who stood outside the door, looking back at me.He looked like one who was astonished to see me after that day at the engagement party.But his eyes came dimming in a broad and displeased way.He was glaring at me with his gaze lingering on my body from head to toe.When I saw this, I immediately remembered I was putting on a short and singlet. That got me feeling embarrassed, stepping back with my right arm going against my chest, shielding it from his eyes."Oh, Carla. I didn't know you were joining us. How are you?" Mr Smith, who happened to be behind Diego, came into the house, smiling at me."Great. I'm doing just fine," I answered, trying not to look at Diego.He just stepped into the house like I didn't exist, making his way to my Mom, who came out from the dining to welcome them."Oh goody! You made it Diego. How was the office?" Mom asked, giving Diego a hug."The usual," He responded to her.I was still feeling uncomfortable with t

CARLA"Oh, Diego. What a surprise to see you here," Pedro said, lifting his hand to give a wave at Diego, who stood right next to me.I could feel tension brewing in the room when I looked at Diego. His face sent chills down my spine, watching how he stared back at Pedro like he's looking directly at the devil himself."Is that Pedro?" I heard Mr Smith ask, stepping out from the dinning into the living room.When he came into the room, Pedro immediately made himself known to Mr Smith, greeting him with respect."It's nice to see you again, Mr Smith," He said with a smile across his face."I knew I heard your voice. How are you?" Mr Smith walked up to Pedro to welcome him.I had my eyes looking at both men, greeting themselves respectfully, when something triggered my mind, reminding me of the one beside me."Diego." I turned to look at my left hand side and found him staring at me.His gaze like a thousand dagger darting right at me.I felt my heart skip uncomfortably, as I tried to s

DIEGOI had nothing but anger in my heart after witnessing that scene at the dinning table.Pedro was clearly on his knee proposing to Carla.I felt an urge to stop this but my rage got the best of me, leading my hand into a bloody pool.All that anger came fading after staring into Carla's wet eyes.She's hurt over my action and demeanor in ignoring her, all because of her decision to return back to Pedro.I tried to wipe the feeling rising in me, but I couldn't.Feeling upset after she ran back into the house, I furiously got into my car and drove off, trying to use my good hand to head homehome safely.The drama at the dining kept replaying in my head."For heaven sake, why won't it go?!" I roared, driving with speed.I could hear my phone ringing from my pocket while I was driving.I was sure it was my father trying to call me after I left without his knowledge."This is why I didn't want to come, but he kept insisting that I show up because of Mrs Parker. He lied to me that Carla

DIEGOPedro had Carla in his hold, taking her around to introduce her to the people, as his girlfriend.Carla, who was following him about, had smiles across her face, shaking hands with those she was being introduced to.I couldn't take my eyes from her after seeing she was present at the celebration meant for me.Wasn't expecting her to come, not even Pedro."Did his father send him as his representative?" I rolled my eyes, taking my attention off them but not my entire mind from Carla."I didn't know that his friend was dating his sister. This is really nice.""Isn't this lovely? ""You have to admit it, they both look beautiful."I heard them saying from behind, praising and admiring both Carla and Pedro's togetherness.It only got me disgusted, sending my attention elsewhere."Oh, here they come!" I heard someone say, notifying me of how near they were."Diego," I heard Pedro call my name.I turned around to look at him, finding Carla clinging to his arm like a doll.She lowered

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
