PEDRO"What was that?"I still couldn't take my mind off Carla's reaction when I suggested to come with her to her place.She acted like she doesn't want me around her, more like she's trying to avoid me."No, she was just occupied with the family dinner plans. She's just looking after me, " I believed, remembering the family dinner I joined them in, and Diego's drama.Just thinking of that moment still makes me laugh."Asshole. He couldn't stand the fact that Carla chose me over him." I chuckled on in mockery.But knowing that he's going to be at the family dinner with Carla..."Shit!" I groaned with my laughter fading away in an instance."What if he tries to turn her against me? Diego can't be trusted around Carla. Damn it! This is why I wanted to come along so I can protect her from him," I complained, finding this disturbing.After finding out the truth about Diego and Carla's secret intimacy, my mind hasn't been at rest.I know it was because of what happened between Carla and I

CARLA"No way!" I laughed out hard until my ribs began to ache me.Diego and I had stopped at the road side eatery to have our lunch. Even though eyes with their phone camera's were flashing at us, we didn't mind.Diego's bodyguards had followed us, so we had no issue if someone was making an attempt to come and have a personal picture with us.But at the moment, we were having a crazy moment.Diego and I were having an interesting conversation about his work, in which he shared a funny moment that occurred at the company.That got me laughing to the point of hurting my ribs."Not anymore, please," I begged, trying to calm my laughter and heal my aching ribs."Oh but that's not the end of it. There's still a lot to hear about the meeting," He said, letting out a smirk.It's almost like he wants me to explode from my laughter. He wasn't ready to listen to me.Diego kept on talking and I ended up laughing more with me falling into his hold."I beg you, Diego. Please spare me," I pleaded

CARLAThe following day, I was all set for school.I decided to contact Pedro and know if he'd be coming around to get me, but he didn't answer my calls.I gave a try for the third time and got the same response. Didn't wait for anyone to tell me what to do next.I just kept my phone aside, letting out a sigh. My bag leaning against the wall in my room, taking my thoughts to Pedro.His phone rang out for sure. It was clear that he doesn't want to pick my calls. But I didn't feel bothered one bit."Anyways, I'll just call someone who is ready," I said, lifting my phone and dialing Diego's number.I didn't get to talk to him after last night. I fell back asleep and woke up early this morning.Since Pedro wasn't answering my calls, I felt it would be best if Diego carried out his brotherly duty by dropping his sweet sister at school. "I'm sure he won't mind, " I smiled, listening to his line ring. And just when I was beginning to lose hope of getting his answer, Diego answered the cal

CARLAOutside my school, Diego's car came pulling up close to the gate.We have been silent throughout the drive, with our eyes trying not to fall on each other.Well mostly me.I'm the one who has been stealing multiple glances at Diego after the scenario between us at my home.He just had his attention on the road, taking less gazes at me. And whenever I saw his eyes falling my way, I would immediately look away with my heart racing.I couldn't help but feel somehow shy before Diego, even though we've been relating with each other for long now.When he came to a stop outside my school, we just sat there, staring at the gate.Well, mostly me. I was feeling too nervous to even look Diego's way.I had my hands drumming on my knee, lowering my gaze away from the gate, down to my lap where my bag was settled.I'm already here at school, but I wasn't ready to step out. My body wasn't prepared to make a move. It's like it was waiting for something to happen."We're here," Diego finally sa

Chapter 70CARLASince that day, Pedro and I didn't speak to each other.Even though he tried to get me to talk by calling and texting or meeting with me face to face at school, I didn't give him any listening ear.Until the D day of my audition for the cheer leading position, I got myself ready for school and made sure I came on time.Mom was rooting for me, and promising to make my favorite meal if I get in.That served as a confidence booster.I was all set along with the others, as we all gathered at the gym, waiting to begin. What amused me more was the fact that the Hall was crowded unlike the other days.It's almost like they were here to watch a movie or a battle.The students all seated, cheered at we the participants, taking part in the final audition. All cheering loudly with their eyes falling on... Me?"Are they here because of me? " I wondered, feeling thrilled by the full house.When the others and I stood at the corner to begin, my eyes fell on Pedro at the first row

CARLADiego's presence increased the fire in the battle.His hands sliding into his pocket, as he called both coach and rector's attention."Yes, Mr Smith?" Rector answered along with Coach, drawing closer to him.Still glaring at Jessica, he asked, "The game will start soon. Have you checked every team to make sure their records are fit? Are those who plan to present the school on the game, indeed qualified to take part?"I didn't know what or where Diego was going with this. But it was still keeping the mood high.Rector dropped her attention on the coach, waiting for his feedback since he has those reports."Em... Well sir..." Coach stammered, taking out his record book for the sports team.Opening it, he said, "In my list, the football players all have a good record fit to present us.""And the cheer leading team? " Diego questioned, directing his eyes on Coach. Coach flipped the pages of the book and arrived at the spot for that."Em... Yes, it also has that," He reported, lifti

CARLAThe celebration didn't end there. The team threw a party in my honor, welcoming me into the group, as the team leader.I was flushed by their gesture, joining them in the celebration."What are your plans, team leader?""When do we start training?"They asked, surrounding me.All these came whelming my head, that I had to tell them to slow down."I was just made the team leader. Can we wait till I've fully digested this news?" I requested.They all laughed at me, but not in a mockery. It was a friendly approach."We get you, Carla. Take your time. But not a long one.""Thanks, " I appreciated.In the middle of the celebration, I left, planning on heading home to meet the family.Mom had texted me about tonight's family dinner at Mr Smith's home. According to her, we have some things to talk about, concerning the wedding.I was so excited about the dinner that I decided to leave school on time, so I could head over to Mr Smith's home and share the good news.And I know Diego woul

CARLAStepping into the mansion, with the maids, who were passing by greeting me with respect, I retorted the greetings before entering the living room to find Mom and my soon to be stepfather, talking and laughing on the couch. Right behind them stood the one I was desperate to lay my eyes on.Diego.He was busy operating his phone without looking elsewhere. His whole attention was on the phone, until... "Carla! You made it, " Mom exclaimed out my name.The moment she did that, Diego turned around looking straight at me.There was a sudden shiver that travelled around my body when I saw his gaze falling directly at my point. His smile left my heart glowing, as I carefully stepped into the living room fully, trying not to look at him too much."Welcome princess. How was school?" Mr Smith asked, rising from his seat to welcome me properly.His arms falling around me for a hug, with a peck to the cheek."School was fine, " I responded, grinning at him."I heard you had an audition t

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
