CARMEN "Why do I have to find out that my daughter is dating from the internet?? You know, my neighbor, she's the one who brought my attention to it. She asked me why she has never seen my daughter's boyfriend in my place before and if my daughter is keeping it away from me. Do you know how embarrassing that was for me? She's always showing off with her kids. I don't expect you to do any of those things that their kids do. I know that you're already working hard enough Carmen. But don't you think that it's a good idea to tell your mother when you start dating?" Mom asked me. She had immediately launched into a deep lecture that was starting to grate on me again. "Mom, I am sorry that you don't know about him. But like I told you, the relationship is new. We just got to know each other. We were just sharing lunch and then the media took pictures of us. Anyway, he's a famous person on the internet and everything that he does is magnified, that's the reason," I told her. Mom glare
CARMEN"I said that you should stop it please Mom! I am not with him because of his money! What do you take me for?! I do love him and he loves me back!" I said to my mom. She snorted at this. "You may love him but I can assure you that he doesn't love you at all. You are just someone who's fun to play with for now. He'll dump you soon. And then your heart will be broken. Let's just hope that he doesn't leave you with a child that you'll be forced to raise all by yourself!" Mom said."Mom! Why are you being so mean anyway? Were you hurt by someone who has money?" I asked her. I have never heard anything about my father from my mother ever. One time, she just threw out that he died and I left it at that. I know that he isn't dead but I never asked because I didn't want to make things hard for her at all. It can't be that my father is...My mom let out derisive laughter. "Hurt?! You need to have expectations from a person for you to get hurt in the first place. I never expected anyt
ANDRES"Jenna and her manager are still not picking up? They think that they can get away from this easily?" I asked Derek.He shook his head. "I think they are ignoring me. They know what Jenna has done and now they are trying to avoid you. Hmph! Since they dared to do this then why are they running away?! They should deal with the consequences!" Derek said. "I told her that she can't touch, Carmen! I told her that she should not do anything to Carmen and she had the guts to use the internet to attack. Does she think I won't know what she did as long as she tells me that it's her fans and she's not the one who did it?" I asked Derek. I wasn't expecting an answer from him at all. I am just so angry that I need someone to vent my anger at. How dare she?! Who does she think she is?! "The public is against Carmen now. Everyone's telling her that she's a slut....I think this might affect the council. What if they remove you from the list because of this? You know they said someone can'
CARMEN "No! Why should I call him? What if he doesn't know about what's going on the internet and I am just disturbing him without any good reason at all? I don't want to call him!" I said. I felt like this wasn't a big deal at all and I should not be whining because of it. "You think that it's not a big deal?! You are getting so badly bullied and you're telling me that it's not a big deal? And for your information, there is no way that he doesn't know about this. Don't be so naive!" Chloe said to me. Just then, my phone rang. I saw that it was Andres calling me. I took the call. "Hello?" I said into the phone. "Let's have dinner together later Carmen," he told me. I was shocked when he said this. Why does he want to have dinner with me? But I thought that we agreed to stay out of each other's way until we have to meet to convince people that we are together. "Have dinner together? Why on earth will I want to have dinner with you? I thought that this was only fake and th
CARMENWe were both silent as we waited for our orders. I remembered what Chloe had told me before I came here. She said I should tell Andres about what's going on on the internet. I didn't want to seem as if I am complaining but I just can't let this happen right? It's just like what Chloe said. It's not a big deal if it was just fans attacking me right now. They are going to get tired of it and then move on to something more interesting. But this is more than that.Jenna is fueling this whole thing behind the scenes and it's not going to stop as long as she doesn't want it to stop. But what if he doesn't believe me if I tell him that his ex is targeting me? What if he thinks that I'm lying? "What do you want to say, Carmen? You can just tell me and stop beating around the bush" he said. "I.,....it's nothing. You don't have to worry about it" I said. I decided not to say anything after all. She can't do this forever. Jenna is going to get tired when she doesn't get the reaction
ANDRESAll through the dinner, I tried my best to put on a gentlemanly image and treat Carmen as I would treat my real fiance.I did not know what to do especially since I haven't been in a normal relationship before. In all my other relationships, it was always the other party trying to please me. I had never had to please anyone in my life before. But I have to do this. I already talked about it with my brother. Since I decided to make my marriage such a public event, I should use it as much as possible. I had already arranged for reporters and paparazzi to take pictures all through so I have to give them the image that they want. The image shows that I am madly in love with her. As Derek welcomed Carmen, he was smiling so sweetly at her and I have to admit that he is a better actor than me.Anyone who is watching this right now is just going to think that my siblings are extremely happy to have her in our family. No one is ever going to think that all of this is a stunt. "I....
CARMEN I glared at Andres when he said this. Does he think I am upset because I misunderstood him?! "What the heck do you take for me?! Of course, I knew that everything was not real! If you are going to use me for some media stunt then don't you think you should at least let me know of your plans beforehand?! I had no idea why you did that and I just stood there foolishly wondering why you and your siblings were being so nice....how do you think I looked? I asked him. "I just thought that it will be better if your reaction wasn't faked....you looked really surprised when I asked you....this will go a long way in debunking those rumors online. I am sure you don't want to continue getting curses on the internet right?" He asked me. I felt like pulling my hair out in anger when I saw he won't even admit that he has done something wrong! "I don't know wha
CARMEN "What....is this?! What is she doing?" I asked. She didn't even mention my or Andres's name even once but anyone will be able to see what she did here. Because of the posts she made before, I thought that Andres had indeed cheated on her and there was a part of me that felt sorry for her. That is why I did not want to make a big deal out of everything. I let it go because I thought she must be hurting too. But knowing she and Andres had indeed broken up three months ago and there was nothing more between them, I was filled with anger. How dare she do this?! Who does she think she's trying to play with this attitude?! "I told you that you can't ignore this! She's doing it on purpose! She didn't say anything about the both of you but her words will lead anyone to mislead! They are going to think you are the third party here! You did
