"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

Think whatever you want! I'll be taking the bed and there's nothing you can do about it" I said. I immediately stomped into the bathroom. I just wanted to wash the fatigue away from my body.ANDRES I laughed at Carmen's antics. I should have known she won't make things easy for me at all.After Carmen was done with her bath, I went to take a bath. I should wash up after such a long day. Especially since it seems I'll be sleeping on the couch for the night today.When I came out, Carmen was already on the bed. She had her legs spread out ...does she think that this will stop me? I shook my head, deciding not to argue with her. I begrudgingly made my way to the couch and tried to get comfortable, but it was clear that it wasn't going to be easy for me at all. …… In the middle of the night, I woke up and saw that Andres was tossing and turning on the couch. My heart went out to him. I should not be so cold to him. After all, he hates this just as much as I do. He doesn't want to b

CARMEN That is why even though the man trying to hit on me was good-looking, it just didn't freak me out at all. I felt like I was looking at a normal person. I gave the man a polite and fake smile, thinking that he will get the message and then finally leave me alone. " Oh, I'm not alone. I'm here with my husband" I said. Most people will leave once they hear the mention of a husband, but this man was persistent. I had to give that to him. The man leaned in closer to me, not minding the fact that I was trying to get away from him. "Really? I don't see him around" he said. He must have thought that he was sexy with the way he smirked after he said that but I just felt that he is a creep I was starting to feel uncomfortable now. My eyes darted around as I searched for Andres in the bar. I hoped that he will show up soon. This man isn't going to leave me alone if my "husband" doesn't show up. "He went to take a phone call. But he'll be back soon" I said. Even as I said thi

CARMEN "Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it, tough guy?" The man asked. He was provoking Andres on purpose now. I can see that. I shook my head because I knew that things were about to get out of hand. Andres doesn't look like he can control himself that well. He's going to lose his temper soon. Andres packed a punch and was going to hit him but I held his hand and pulled him back. I am the one he harassed after all. I was so angry. I want to beat this man up too but I knew that I can't do something so reckless. We are not back at home. Andres can do whatever he wants back home but not here. If we piss off someone who has a lot of power, we are going to get into a lot of trouble for it. I have already deduced that this man is probably someone who has a lot of power, probably the wayward son of a very rich man who thinks that he can do whatever he wants to anyone. With the way he's acting, this is not the first time he's harassing women. He must be a pro at it. And h

I really liked it. Does this mean that there's a part of her that cares about me? "You don't need to worry about it. His father owns some hotels so he's a businessman. He won't offend me just because his son was a douchebag. I'll take care of it " I said. "And what exactly do you mean by you'll take care of it?" She asked me. I rolled my eyes at her. Trust Carmen to ask way too many questions. "You don't need to worry about that. I already have it under control!" I said. Just like that, I shoved her into the car and drove off. ....... Carmen and I arrived in our hotel suite. Carmen was wobbling on her feet. It seems that she has had a lot to drink when I went to pick up the call. Just how much did she drink? She looks drunk right now. She grinned at me. "You know that you are so good looking right?" She asked me. I was sincerely shocked to hear this from Carmen. But then I saw that her eyes weren't focused at all and I immediately knew what was going on with her. She'

ANDRESBut I am not drunk. I am sober. And no matter how much I want her or how seductive she is I can't do anything with her. I have to control myself. "Go away," I said and pushed her away. Carmen looked at me with anger and disappointment in her eyes. But I didn't care anymore. I have to get her out of this place. I simply can't afford to make this mistake. "What the hell is wrong with you? One second you want it and another you want me to get lost? Why do you have so many mood swing?" She asked me. "Just get out Carmen. Get out now" I said. Please get out before I do something that we are both going to regret here. Please' I begged her in my head. She got up and scoffed at me. "Have a good time whacking off all by yourself!" She said and walked into the bedroom. She's right. I will be jacking off all by myself. I have no other choice. I have to rely on my memory of her to get myself off or else I don't think I'll sleep tonight. I closed my eyes. As I closed my eyes, I ope

CARMEN "Do you know what you did yesterday?" He asked me with a teasing smile on his face. I wanted to smash my head against a wall. What was I thinking when I said and did all of that? I should have known that he won't ever let me live that down at all! "I don't know what you're talking about. I just know that I didn't take off my clothes yesterday. There's no way that I will do something like that!" I said. "Oh really? So you are telling me that you don't remember that you tried to seduce me yesterday? You told me that I am only good for having sex with and the way you even begged me to sleep with you ...are you telling me that you don't remember any of that?" Andres asked me. "..." Seriously, does he have to be such a jerk about this? Why is he being so mean? "I don't.....I don't know what you are talking about! I was drunk last night. You can't tell me that you will take the words of a drunk person seriously right?! That's just stupid!" I said. Andres laughed when I s

ANDRES I was still lost in my thoughts so I did not notice that there was someone in front of me. I walked into her and we both fell to the ground. "Hey, can't you look where you are going?! I don't know what the heck is going on with this hotel! They keep letting whoever it is they want in here! Where is the class?? I can't believe this!" The woman I walled into started complaining. I looked at her face. She had a haughty look on her face as if she was looking down on everything and everyone here. There was something familiar about her face too. I wondered if I had met her before. It won't be a surprise for me if I had slept with her. Isabella says that I have a type and I only go for dumb women who are arrogant and stupid. I wanted to put her in her place since I am already feeling upset today, but I did wrong by walking into her, I decided to apologize first. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to walk into you" I said to her. "Just sorry is not going to fix this! Do you even k

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. In fact, I am very scared now. Scared that I am going to hurt someo
