The Mysterious Billionaire and His Bride Chapter 8
CARMEN"Wow!" I gasped. We haven't entered the boutique yet but I could already tell that I won't even be able to afford a handkerchief from this place. I turned to Andres. "What are we doing here?""What do you think we are here for? Of course, it's to shop for clothes for you! We need to change your entire outlook but we'll be doing that lately. I think that I'll get a personal stylist for you but for now, I think that we should get a few stuff and give the media something to talk about don't you think?" He asked and winked at me. He turned and gestured to a car packed a few feet away from us. It seems that the reporters and paparazzi who were at the restaurant with us had followed us here too. So is he doing this to give them a show? To announce that he's going to get married to me? "Don't look like that Carmen. We need to change the clothes that you are wearing for now" he told me. I looked down at the clothes that I wore and I could not help but feel extra poor today. "Hey

CARMENI looked over at the woman who had snatched the earring from me. I didn't want to cause a scene but I didn't appreciate the way she was looking at me as if I am some kind of dirt beneath her feet. It annoyed me to no end. "Excuse me Miss, but I am the one who got that first. You are being rude right now!" I said to her. I don't go looking around for trouble but that doesn't mean that I'll let someone look down on me and bully me. She looked at me and scoffed. "And who do you think you are to stop me from getting it? So what if you have it first? I said that I want it and I am going to get it. There's nothing that you can do about it. Besides, look at the way you are dressed. You clearly won't be able to afford anything in this boutique! Stop making a fool of yourself and just get lost!" She said to me. I had never been so insulted in my life. I've had a lot of people look down on me, especially in art school because of my background, but this is the first time that someone

CARMEN "Andres! What are you doing here? Do you know her?" Nadia said as she looked at me. I waited for Andres's reaction. Where does he know this woman from? She said that she's a senator's daughter so I guess that he knows her from their circle right? I was waiting for Andres to acknowledge her but he just glanced at her and looked away from her as if he could not be bothered with her at all. I had to admit, after the way she treated me, I felt happy to see Andres ignore her. "I said who wants to throw my girlfriend out?! Who'd dare to do that? It seems that your manager is tired of working and wants to retire at an early age?" Andres asked the salesperson. She was already shaking in fear immediately she saw Andres. Something told me that Andres wasn't just threatening her. He'd close down this place. "Mr. Blackwood, I am sorry.....I have no idea that she's your...." The salesperson immediately started to apologize but Nadia interrupted her. "What do you mean Andres? Ar

ANDRES"You'll beg? And what do you think that you begging is going to solve? You've insulted my girlfriend publicly and even told her that you're going to kick her out of this place just to please some body else. If this gets out, people are just going to look down on me. Do you think that I, Andres Blackwood can stand to be looked down on by others?" I asked her. I was doing this as a statement, letting everyone know that I care about Carmen a lot. This will make our relationship a lot more real. There was also another reason.... however, I don't want to think about that for now. "I am so sorry....I had no idea who she is....I am really sorry....I know I have a bad attitude but I am going to fix it. I will be nice to every customer from now on. I won't ignore anyone who comes here so please just forgive me this one last time " she continued to beg me. But I did not feel sorry for her. I know for a fact she won't have said all of these things if she wasn't in trouble right now. T

CARMEN"None of them are good people anyway so you should not feel guilty about getting a bit of benefits from them. It's not as if they are saints " Chloe told me. "I know that she's just saying this because she wants to look out for me but I really don't know if I'd be able to take advantage of someone the way she said. I think that I just don't have it in me to do something like that. "What did you say you were doing in that boutique anyway. I know that place and the way they treated you isn't really suspicious at all. All of them have always been like that. They look down on customers who they think is not up to their standards and they think they can get away with it. I think they target the very rich in the society so they don't have to be polite to people whom they consider poor" Chloe said. I bit my lips. "He bought me some clothes. He said that he didn't want be embarrasing him if we had to appear out together. Take a look at today. I was humiliated and it reflected on him

ANDRES"So are you satisfied now? The social media is in uproar because of you and everyone is calling Carmen a Cinderella. Is this the effect that you wanted?" Derek asked me .I nodded my head. This is what I want. It's going to seem suspicious if I just get married to her without any news at all. I need to build up a romance with her. "Yes. This is what I want. Just think about it. The council will be suspicious if I show up with a wife out of nowhere. They are not stupid. Someone will definitely point it out and they will find a way to kick me out of the competition. I can't let that happen. So this is the only thing that I can do. I have to let the public get to know her," I said to Derek. "That's actually quite smart..so what are you going to do from now on?" Derek asked me. "I am going to propose to her of course. Besides, my marriage with her is going to help the company with a lot of public relations. Although this is an old tale, many people actually do like the story of

ANDRES"A lot of women are in love with me. Should I love all of them just because they love me? If you're delusional, go and be delusional at your own home! Don't come crying to me!" I yelled at her. This is the reason why I chose Carmen to play my wife for one year. I know for a fact that she won't be kicking up a fuss and that she will never expect anything more from me. It is clear what I want from her and she won't go overboard and ask for more. But for women like Jenna and Nadia......they are all the same no matter who they are. Jenna is a celebrity and Nadia is a popular socialite. All of them want to be with me not because they care about me but because of the fame that they are going to get from it. I am already tired of this."Audre! How can you say this? You know that I am different from all of those other women. All those women just wanted to be with you because they want your money! I am not like that! I love you! I do love you! Don't compare me to them!" She said to m

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

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 ...." "I seems that you are thinking too much. Let's talk about something else. You told m

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
