DIEGO"He knows now. That bastard knows!" I paced about in my office, unable to let go of the argument between Pedro and I."I will kill him if he does anything funny. He won't like me when..." I paused, thinking about Carla.This left me feeling weak."Damn it. This is my fault. I should have controlled myself before Pedro and found a way to tackle the truth, but I went ahead and blurted things out of anger. "I had my back leaning against the wall with my hands covering my face.Images of Carla came flowing in my head. Our last sex and her words that day at the store room also filled my mind.She said it clearly that day that she didn't want anything that would lead the public into knowing about our secret, and Pedro knows the truth.He had seen us that day at the park and we didn't even know."Carla," I uttered her name, feeling guilt and a strong wave of care for her safety, engulfing me."I have to see her. Yes, I need to tell her about this. She needs to be aware of Pedro's sche

CARLAOver lunch, Mom, Diego, and I, laughed over a funny tale shared by Mom about her time as a teenager.It got me almost choking on my food, if not for the glass of water beside me that saved my life."I'm telling you. Anytime I remember that period, I always ask myself if I was okay or not. Why will you put a knife in the microwave?"Diego and I laughed at her loudly."Now I know where my craziness came from?" I chuckled out, placing my hand on the table.Only to feel my finger touching Diego's. That got me looking his way to notice his eyes had fallen on me already.A calm smile crept across his face as he drew his hand away from mine, facing my Mom back.I didn't know how to react to that. I just directed my attention back at Mom, with my eyes slowly stealing a glance at him."He looks more relaxed than before. By now he would have taken hold of my hands or teased me," I viewed, sensing a change in Diego.Not too long... "I should take my leave now," Diego decided, about rising

CARLA"That annoying Jessica! I'll make her regret ever challenging me," I groaned out with detest.I could still feel my whole body vibrating with intense anger over Jessica's nonsense.After she challenged me, I immediately joined the queue and signed up for the audition.My name fell among those that will have theirs in four days time.Despite seeing that I signed up, Jessica still had the audacity to mock me, saying I'll break before that day even reaches."I wouldn't have joined the audition, but she needs to be put in her place once and for all! " I vented out to Pedro, who sat next to me.He was just silent all through, nodding his head at my word."I need to get my strength fully for that day. What do you think?" I asked, turning my head to face Pedro."Hmm, " He hummed, nodding his head with his eyes on his phone.It almost looked like he wasn't listening to me.And to confirm that I was right, I noticed an earpod in Pedro's ears. He wasn't listening to me at all!This left m

CARLAI still had my eyes shut, telling Diego what I wanted from him.And honestly speaking, I needed someone beside me at the moment, and he's the only one I could think of.I still had my legs tucked close to my chest, patiently waiting to hear his response to my request."You want me?" He asked, his voice sounding cool and touching.My lip curved to the side, feeling my cheek burning up slowly.I nodded, even though he couldn't see what I was doing, saying to him, "Yes, I do. The... House is looking lonely and quiet. I could use a buddy at this moment. So, what do you say?"My legs came down, crossing against the other with my right hand rubbing my neck, with a smile engulfing my face.I couldn't explain how I was feeling at the moment, but I know I was feeling good just talking to Diego. But just when I thought I'd get what I wanted... "I'm sorry, Carla. I'm quite busy at the moment," He said, turning down my request.That got sadness taking over me in no seconds. I listened to

CARLAI had my eyes following Diego, who walked up to the couch, staring at the bowl of ice cream I kept on it.He took a look at me, wearing a quizzical expression on.I dimmed my eyes at him, asking, "What? Never seen an ice cream in your life before?""I have. Just haven't seen a frustrated lady like yourself. One who has nothing to do but sit here, watch a horror movie, and bury herself in a big bowl of ice cream," He teased me, letting out a chuckle.That tongue of his. I thought he has lost the gift to insult me?Whatever way, it feels good.Not wanting to show the smile that wanted to escape my lips, I said, acting all tough, "You can laugh all you want, Diego. At least I was doing something." I glowered at him.I saw Diego smirk with his eyes falling on me. That sent an electric wave around my body with my eyes leaving his point. "Is it me or is the room suddenly turning hot?" I waved my hand at my face for breeze.With the corner of my eyes, I could see Diego coming my way.

CARLAI woke up to the sound of my alarm. That got me stretching out wide, letting out a yawn."What a night?" I gaped out, dimming my eyes open.When I looked around and noticed I was in my room, my eyes grew large at once, with my head hovering around in astonishment."How did I get here?" I jumped out of bed, but fell back on feeling my eyes turning."Wow. Easy there, Carla. Just relax," I said to myself, relaxing back on my bed.I lifted my gaze to take a quick look around my room."But I was with Diego last night. Did he bring me here?" I wondered, seeing that as the only explanation currently."He must have brought me here when I fell asleep deeply. Otherwise I would have felt when he was carrying me if I wasn't," I believed, knowing myself.Once my eyes came all calm, I got out of bed, making my way out of the room.My mind on Diego, wondering if he had left already.It was six in the morning and I was sure Mom would be back home."He must have gone," I assumed, stepping into t

CARLAMy eyes were still locked with Diego's.He kept staring at me without making a blink.I could feel my body turn hot just looking at his entrancing face. It got my heart swelling with a temptation to brush my lips against his cheek one more time.But I had to pull myself out of this thoughts, breaking the lock between us.I gave a smile, looking the other way, saying, "Wishing you good luck at the office. It's a boring environment, so..."I directed my gaze back at Diego again. He still had his eyes on me, and that got me feeling hot even more."So be a good... Em... Do well at the office," I stammered, saying whatever that came to my mind, with my eyes looking elsewhere than his face.I was beginning to sweat within.That's when I noticed a smile across Diego's face from the corner of my eyes. That got my attention once again.I couldn't have a long look away without turning back to stare at him. It's almost like he had a spell or something that keeps calling my attention his wa

CARLAI sat alone at the cafeteria, thinking about what Jessica had said."What does she mean by that statement?" I wondered, playing with the straw of my drink with my mind all lost in thoughts."She is just saying rubbish. I shouldn't allow her words get to me." I groaned, swaying my head to take out whatever Jessica had said back there. But the looks in her eyes were tense and full of seriousness.Is there something she knows that I don't?"Hey sweetheart," I heard Pedro's voice.That jolted me out of my thoughts, with my attention falling on him.He was swift to even allow me have a good look at his face. His lips just came down on my forehead, pecking it with kisses."Where you hiding from me, my heroine?" He smirked, sitting right next to me.From his words, I could tell he had heard about the drama that unfolded at the gym.I gave a smile, crossing my arms on the table."I wasn't. Just wanted to get some refreshments," I said, signaling at the drink.Pedro hummed, taking a qui

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
