ANDRES

All 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.

    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

    CARMEN I woke up last the next day. I think the events that happened have taken a toll on me and I ended up oversleeping. I woke up because of Chloe's scream. She let out a high-pitched scream that forced me to wake up. "What the heck is going on with you Chloe? Can't you just me sleep in peace?" I asked her. "You should not be sleeping! Come look at what happened! You said that Andres was going to do something about Jenna and he did do something! I have known that she's a bitch ever since she started this but I had no idea that she's this evil! Who does she think she is to play with people like this?" Chloe asked. "What are you talking about now?" "Jenna has been exposed! You won't believe the things online about her! It's just.....I can't even talk about it! The tables have turned and everyone is cursing her out right now.! She deserves it! It turns out that this is not the first time she's bullied someone like this! She's used this method before! Acting like she's the vi

    ANDRES"You want me to forgive you? What did you do for me to forgive you?" I asked her."I.....I am sorry......I am not sure what it is that you are angry about but my manager told me that you're suing me today...and those....those things about me online...my manager also told me Isabella is the one who asked the reporters to publish them. I am not sure about what it is that I did but I am sorry. I am begging you right now so please let me go. I will make sure that I never do this again. I won't appear in front of you and I won't make you mad. Can you please just let me go?" She begged me.I laughed when I heard this. To think that she's still pretending that she doesn't know anything...Jenna has a lot of guts!"Are you still pretending you don't know anything? I thought I told you you shouldn't do anything to Carmen? I warned you...I told you that you had better leav

    ANDRES Jenna hurriedly got up and put her shirt back on. She turned to Isabella. "Isabella, I am so sorry...I should not have provoked you...I am so sorry....those things about me online, I know you have something to do with them. I know no one will dare to publish those things about me if you don't allow it to happen. Can you please forgive me this once?" She begged Isabella. I rolled my eyes because I knew Jenna begging Isabella was a very wrong move. Isabella is even more ruthless than Derek. She's more like me when it comes to being ruthless. "You want me to let you go, Jenna? I thought I called you and your manager and both of you told me that this had nothing to do with you. You told me you can't do anything about it if the netizens online decide to bully Carmen. You said it's your fault and you never mentioned her name in any of you

    CARMEN "Do you Andres Blackwood take Carmen to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, in poverty and wealth, to love and hold, for as long as you both shall live, till death do you part?" The officiating minister asked Andres. He smiled at me when he was asked this. I think Andres should give up the profession he had now and be an actor because he's great at it. I could see the love in his eyes when he looked at me. It's enough to convince anyone that the both of us are madly in love with each other. "Yes, I do," he said. "I now pronounce both of you as husband and wife. You may kiss the bride. " The officiating minister had barely finished with that when Andres's lips crashed foam on mine in a fierce kiss. I thought that he was going to give just a peck to get this over with but he kissed me deeply like he couldn't get en

    CARMEN "You know what? I think that we can still be great friends! You and my brother are going to part ways in one year. So it's not a big deal! If you're no longer my sister-in-law, at least we can be great friends. Don't you think that it will be great?" She asked me. I nodded my head when she said this. It doesn't sound bad to be her friend. She looks like such a nice woman. I think that I might like being friends with Isabella. I just think that it's going to be awkward to keep seeing Andres even after we end our partnership but I decided not to think about it. I will cross the bridge when I get to it. "Yeah sure, we can be friends!" I said to her. There was a sigh of relief on her face. Did she think that I won't agree to be her friend for some reason?

    ANDRES "Listen, Andres, I don't know what the fuck you're thinking in your head but I think you should stay away from Carmen. Don't even think about seducing her and turning her into one of your mistresses. You should be glad that you finally found someone who is willing to put up with your bullshit and who won't expect to be supported for the rest of her life with the money that you have. It's just one million dollars, Andres. Just one. You spent five million dollars in one night when you went to a casino in Macao with Jenna. You're paying her just one million dollars. Leave her alone. Don't pull her deep into any of your shit!" Derek warned me. I was upset at this. What the heck is wrong with both of my siblings? Why do they think that I am the one who's going to cause trouble here? I am not going to do anything to her at all! I know that getting involved with her will just cause me problems! I don't want that! "How are you so sure that I am the one who's going to come onto he

    CHLOE At most, I think that we would have passed each other on the street at some time and we won't even take a second look at each other. Stop thinking too much about this" she told me. "I just think that the both of you look so good with each other and ...." "We don't look good together! You more than anyone should know that all of this is just a pretense. We have to sell this to the public so that they buy that we are really crazy in love with each other" she told me. I nodded my head when she told me this because she was correct. It's just acting. I must have lost my mind asking her something like that. The both of them are from different worlds and it's never going to work out between the both of them. But why does she have that look in her face? "What are you thinking about Carmen?" I asked her. "What do you mean? I am not thinking anything at all" she told me. "Oh really but ...."

    CHLOE I walked aimlessly around. Now that I had calmed down and was no longer angry, the fact that I didn't have a job finally dawned on me. I was confused. What will I do now? I have had this job since I left college and I had worked my way to where I was slowly. Now because I refused to give sexual favours, I lost my job. I looked around the streets people were coming and going, but they all had a clear goal in their minds. They had destinations. I was the only one who doesn't even have anywhere to go now. I really missed Carmen right then. If Carmen was around, I'd call her and the both of us will drink our sorrows away. Then tommorow, we will think of what to do. But Carmen isn't in town and I was all alone..... I just hoped that Carmen is fine whenever she is and that she is having fun right now. I do hope that she's not having a huge pity party like me. Although her marriage is not real, at least she gets to go to the Maldives. She just hoped that Carmen will enjoy her

    I sneered. I knew men like Mr. Green very well. They use that excuse to cheat young girls of thier feelings. Telling them that they plan to divorce thier wives when they obviously have no plans of doing that. "Are you sure that you'll dare to divorce your wife Mr. Green?" I asked him sarcastically. He will never divorce his wife. He doesn't have the guts to do it. The man's eyes narrowed dangerously. "What do you mean? "You know exactly what I mean. After you, you've gotten so far because of your wife. Are you sure that you'll really dare to get a divorce?" I asked. Just because I pretend as if I don't know anything, it doesn't mean that I dont know about the gossip going on in the office. Although no one talked about it, everyone in the company knew that Mr. Green only got in because his wife is a relative of the big boss. If he dares to bring up divorce, he will be left with nothing! Mr. Green frowned. I know that for a proud man like him, he must hate people bringing up t

    CHLOE I wanted to call Carmen and ask about how she's doing but I was at work. I can't do that or else I will be getting reprimanded by my boss. And my boss..... "Chloe! What nonsense are you doing?!" Someone shouted out my name in my work place. The loud yell brought me back from my reverie. I immediately stood up. "Yes sir!" There was only one person who would call me like this here. My immediate boss and the Manager of the department that I worked in. The Manager, Mr. Green stood in front of his office as he yelled out to me whose table was just a few feet away. "What are you seriously doing Chloe? Where is your head? You've been making several mistakes lately! What are you trying to do?" Mr. Green yelled. "Is there a problem with the plan I submitted sir?" I resisted the urge to smack the man across the face and asked as politely as I could. "You're asking me if there's a problem? Forget it, come into my office" the man said. He turned and walked back into his office.

    DEREKIsabella did not let me finish my story. "Derek! I always knew that you were a jerk in high school but this is a new low even for you! How and why did you think that doing this to someone was a good idea? Just because she's an outcast?! You deserve what she did to you and more! I am not going to help you with this. If you want to find her, then you can go and find her yourself!" Isabella told me. "Oh come on Isabella. Don't be like this. You are my sister. You need to stand on my side here. We are twins you know. Twins should always have each other's back don't you think?" I asked her. "I am ashamed that I have a twin like you! Seriously! It is so embarrassing! What did you....what were you thinking?! Hurting a young girl's feelings like that?" Isabella asked me. "Okay, I know that I was wrong. It's not as if I didn't know. But it's already been ten years! I can't believe that she's still mad over that! She should have gotten over it a long time ago!" I said. Isabella shook

    DEREK I walked into Isabella's office angrily. "So? Tell me that you've found her. It's already been two weeks. You can't give me that crap that you still don't know where she is yet!" I said to Isabella. Isabella rolled her eyes as she ignored me. I saw that she was on the phone. I coughed and looked away. "Yes I will call you later. I have something to deal with right now" Isabella said and ended the call. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" She yelled at me. I raised my hand up in mock surrender. "How was I supposed to know that you are on the phone?" I asked and the last thing that I want is Isabella getting mad at me. I know that she won't help me out if I make her angry. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe if you had knocked and maybe if you hadn't started questioning me as soon as you walked in here! Seriously! What do you even need to find her for? It already happened about two weeks ago! There's nothing that you need to see her again for! Just forget about that incident!" She

    CARMEN " She should not have said those things. But that doesn't mean that you can just slap her. It is not right. I think that she's right. I think that you are using your husband's power to pick on my daughter!" He said. I rolled my eyes at just how shameless these people can be. "Just how shameless can you be?! I am not surprised that you raised adults who have a twisted mindset on what the world is supposed to look like! Your son thinks that it's okay to harass women at bars and your daughter thinks that it's okay for her to try to seduce people's husband and when she gets rejected by the man in question, it's okay for her to blame the wife of the man. You are all a family of crazy people and I think that all of you should go get checked in a hospital because all of you are mad!" I yelled. "Mrs. Blackwood, I understand that you are mad but you don't get to say these things about me and my kids. I think that you are using abusing your power at this point." "And so? And so

    ANDRES And who do you think you are?" "I am Andres Blackwood. That's who I am. Who are you?" I asked. I watched as thier father's expression changed. He looked as if he had just been told that he had a terminal illness. Obviously, he wasn't expecting this. "You....you mean, that you are Andres Blackwood? The CEO of the Blackwood enterprise? That Andres Blackwood? Why didn't you tell me about it before? I am really sorry for how my kids have talked to you. I can assure you that they are not usually like this. I apologize on behalf of them again. I promise this is not going to happen again. Please don't hold this against them" he told me. I raised an eyebrow. What is wrong with this man? He seems that he has finally realized who I am. This is getting interesting. "Dad! Why are you apologizing to him? Do you even know what he did? Didn't you not listen to the things that Clinton and I told you?! He hit Clinton at the club and then he refused to compensate me when he ruined my

    ANDRE I am really screwed. I don't think that I will be able to resist this woman for long. I think that I am going to give in to my urges and do something that we are both going to regret soon. "I.....ah....I.....". I tried to say something, look for a compliment and tell her that she looked beautiful but I could not bring myself to say it. It was a if I had gone dumb. Carmen shifted uncomfortably where she stood. "Do you ...do you think that it's weird? I don't know what I was thinking when I put in on. I am going to go change! " She said. She doesn't think this is good enough? What the heck is wrong with her?! "No! You don't need to change at all! This is ....this is....." "I really don't want to embarrass you. You can just tell me if there's something wrong with it and I will change it immediately..I....". She thinks that she'd going to embarrass me? I laugh in my head. She's not going to embarrass me.
