DIEGO

Desperate 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 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

    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

    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

    CARLA"How could he do this to me?" I cried, racing through the floor of the hotel I was in.I thought the rumors were fake, but it was all true.Pedro has been dating Jessica secretly behind my back, and I was too blind to see it.But today, I confirmed it all.I caught my boyfriend and that cheerleader, getting intimate here in the hotel. And when I confronted Pedro, he dared to send me out, calling me useless."After everything I did for him, he dares to call me useless?" I groaned, wiping my tears off my face."I'm going to show him. I'll show him what a useless girl like me is capable of doing." I stormed away, coming up with a plan to get back at Pedro.He always thinks of himself as someone high and mighty, someone that every woman runs to. But I'll show him that I can also be naughty."All I need is someone to... Oof!" I came bumping into someone accidentally. When I lifted my gaze to apologize, I'm left stunned on seeing who the person is."Diego Smith?" My eyes came wide, s

    CARLA"This can't work. I can't allow that man to be my stepbrother," I groaned in my room, pacing about in anger."I didn't know Mom was dating a billionaire. I wonder how they even met." I continued to pace about, until I came to a stop at the window.I looked and saw Diego and his father getting into their car."Inasmuch as I love my mother, I can't allow Diego to be a part of this family. I'll have to end this union between Mom and Mr Smith," I decided.It's the only way I can keep that beast from coming closer to me.If not for Mom that called my name when Diego had me against the wall, he wouldn't have set me free.Such a man can't be a part of my home. This relationship has to end.I watched Mom wave goodbye at Diego and his father, before making her way to the house. Quickly, I rushed out of my room to see her."So, what do you think about your new father?" She asked, grinning at me."Well..." I crossed my arms. "He's not that bad.""Not that bad? Is that the best you can say

    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

    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

    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
