CHAPTER EIGHT

I desperately wanted to leave there right now but it was like as if I have no control of my body again. He offered his hand for me to shake with a smile, saying, “You must be Dr. Alejandro’s daughter, it is such a pleasure to meet you”

“Likewise, Mr. Diaz” I finally managed to speak up after a long standing silence. The smile on his face made me cringe because I know exactly who that smile charmed, me.

“Feel free to call me Carlos” He said again smiling, this was already getting old, I just want to bore his eyes out right now and tear off those lips to avoid that useless smile. “Let me not keep you waiting then, the meeting is about to start”

The moment I sat down, it got me thinking about the things I could do to him and then get my hands on Laura and everyone that has tried to destroy me. I take blame for being naive five years ago, but you can’t blame me then, I never knew what life was except that it happens in the four walls of this company.

I only gt to experience life in this five years being Vanessa, she is free to do whatever she can without having to impress anybody, be whoever she can and not care about what is being said behind her back, going out for wild sex parties, I was jealous of her……. I was jealous of me.

The voting began, it was to be done electronically by the people in the room but as each vote is being counted it showed on the screen.

As it stands now it was at a 50/50 level, there was no majority in this, most people still trusted him after all. It got to point where it dropped and came back up again, I was yet to cast my vote when it landed back at 50/50.

I had carefully thought about it, if it ended like this then Carlos will still remain President but if I vote against him then he will be removed and I will achieve my revenge, then again, there was something else I would most likely want to do as I finally cast my vote as it boils down to 53/47.

The names of all who had voted against Carlos was shown, and all names that my father was able to convince was shown and then I fell under the clause of those who were for Carlos.

They called it betrayal, I call it strategy.

I knew I won when Carlos turned to me, I could tell he was smitten by my actions today and I plan on getting him even more. I just earned his trust and I will be using it for next phase of my plan.

This will be my revenge.

While he celebrated I snuck out of there as I went to the rest room. The voting just ended and father already knows how it went. He scolded me over the phone, he sounded hurt that I didn’t fall through with the plan and made enemies out of his friends.

“What the hell are you doing? Salome. You perfectly had an open chance to ruin him, why didn’t you just take it!” He yelled over the phone. I explained to him  that he just won’t understand the pain I felt when I saw him.

I wanted to so much to him that he will regret coming to this life, I do hate Carlos with the whole of my heart and I know I will never be able to forgive him which is why I plan on ruining him and Laura’s life.

Dr. Alejandro is livid as he hung up not wanting to hear anything else. I pitied myself cause I am the only one who knows exactly how I feel.

I wiped my tears as I walked out of the rest room, bumping into him again, this time it was fatal as my hat got entangled the button of his shirt as we both were on the ground, my body on his.

“Wait…. let me take off the hat from head” I removed it as it jingled on his shirt, I helped out in removing it as we both laugh, the situation was a bit odd.

The hat finally came off, “Thanks” He said, “Are you heading home? I could drop you off ?” he offered but I refused. “Well at least I should invite you for dinner sometime, I would love for you to meet my wife”

Wife? Carlos is married?

My body froze again, this time I was caught in a time lapse, I couldn’t believe it…. I mean I know it would happen but I didn’t think it will be so soon, and I bet it was Laura he married, nobody else but her.

How is it that I was kept informed of everything about him but nobody told me that he was married.

My throat was constricted begging for water, the pain had gone up to awaken my teary eyes as I tightened my fist not wanting to break character by crying in front of him.

“I’ll think about it” I said before hastening my feet away from him. Think about what Salome? You couldn’t even stand hearing that he was married, how will you be able to handle having dinner with his family.

A part of me still love him, and I hate myself for it, Vanessa I am so sorry.

Everybody was right that it is not that easy to get rid of your first love and this is very much true. But I know my hatred is much stronger and I can control those useless feelings of mine.

I went to the bar at the hotel to get my mind off everything and have fun. I saw Angry bird sitting on one of the stools close to the bartender. He saw me too and probably would think now that I am a stalker.

“I’ll have what he is having but stronger” I didn’t even bother looking at Angry bird as I spoke to the bartender. The drink came as I gobble it at one gulp, “Another” I said.

I drank a couple more glasses as Angry bird watched me with a side eye, he only showed concern when I stumbled trying to balance properly on my stool, he touched my shoulder for support and I could feel my body lighten up.

If I wanted to get rid of Carlos from my head, I needed to go big. “Let’s dance” I pulled him off from his seat to the dance floor.

I danced through the rhythm, moving my body in a seductive manner as I twerk on him, making him touch every part of my body without hesitation. Things between us started getting heated and I know he too felt it too, the budge evident on his pants tells me so.

I took his hand to grope my ass as I pressed my boobs to his chest, taking my feet inches high and whispering into his ear, “I want you to fuck me so hard that I forget that this world exist” I kissed his neck, drawing him into my temptation, he smacked my ass in agreement as he pulled me into the best kiss I have ever had.

This was the beginning of Vanessa.

    We couldn’t get our lips off each other, as we kissed in the elevator filled with people. His hand was underneath my panties, feeling my wetness. When we got to the passage leading to his room, he lifted me up, pressed my back against the door as he unlocked it with our lips still intertwined. Banging the door to close in hastiness, he brought me to the transparent glass which was meant for night view. I panted trying to match his roughness. I begged for him to be this way, just the way I like it. He zipped my dress while pressing my face on glass, gorging his fingers into my face as he take off his shirt. He unstrapped my bra in just two seconds, exposing my breast, they were full and ready to be sucked on as it glistened under the moonlight. I bit my lip thinking he would suck on it and make me want him even more. He did not, rather he took off his pants and ordered, “Suck my dick” his voice thick and rough. I obeyed like the little slut that I have become, a promiscuous woman

    We slowly took our hands off each other as Laura’s question still lingered, I thought deep for a response, nothing seem to come to mind the more I look into it.Why would we want to hold hands in the first place? that question can explain the look on Laura's face.I turned to Abigail to speak up since he was the one who spoke. He too was clueless like I was because nothing that I thought of could match the response, the worst part was that Abigail was still in the room.The only thing I could do was to just come clean with the entire situation to avoid things getting even more messy than it was already.“Actually, your son and I started off on a wrong foot.

    Vanessa’s POVI was finally trying to have my rest after a long and stressful evening. I came out of the shower with my bathrobe, taking out a fresh towel from the cabinet to dry my hair as I stared at the nightlife from the balcony, drinking champagne straight from the bottle.“They all seem happy” I said aloud followed by a long sigh, watching from the balcony as people moved freely and enjoyed themselves even though it was close to midnight.Dropping the unfinished bottle of wine on the credenza, dragged my entire body to the bed as I crawled my drunk self to the middle, stretched out both my arms and legs to the north/south, east/west respectively of the bed, while my body was stayed at the center, I stared up to the ceiling counting sheep before I got bored and closed my eyes to sleep.I drank not because I wanted to, the problem was that my nightmare will haunt me if I tried sleeping normally.

I was once married too, you idiots! That fool, stays there laughing like she isn’t a husband snatcher her self. I didn’t mind them as I was more concerned about eavesdropping on the conversation Selma and Abigail were having in his room.

    The tour ended immediately I set my eyes on a cabinet that held a photo frame of my former self, candles were lit and flowers surrounded it. This was placed in a much private area away from the living room.I looked at myself for a while as I was building up intense anger, it hurt me so much because I saw no use of this. What were they trying to prove? Huh?What is all this?! I hollered within me as tears started falling from my eyes, I felt I was been mocked by them because they lack no right to lit a candle for me.I fell to my knees breaking down in tears, Laura had laid comforting hand on my shoulder thinking that I was crying over my dead friend, I shrugged it off, immediately wiping my tears with my hand.I was determined to leave until when Laura said, “She was my best friend and I loved her so much”“Which was why you married her husband?” I blurted rudely, having no control of myself as I added, “I mean, it wasn’t up to a year before you married Carlos, was it?”I know my que

    I didn’t know when we arrived at his mansion as I had fallen asleep in the car, Carlos was right about me needing some rest. As promised, he woke me up and waited till I was wide awake before helping me out of the car. He was acting like I was a sick patient or something, at least it was working in my favor so I shouldn’t complain.When we both got the doorstep, Laura had been waiting for us even as the time was way past midnight, I figured Carlos must have called and told her everything while I was asleep.I tried to look pitiful and tiresome as Laura pulls me into a hug, I still do not like her close to me not to think of her touching me but I couldn’t resist and just played along. Just like Carlos had asked if I was alright several times, Laura had done the same.I don’t understand what their problem but I am sure I made it clear that I was fine, maybe they just love to get into people’s good books all the time.Laura asks if I had anything to eat and that she could ask their live-

    When the short hand of the clock touches eleven and the long hand was at the stroke of twelve, I packed my bag and got ready for the time Carlos will leave. I wasn’t doing anything peculiar before and even now.Carlos wasted no time coming out as he looked shocked to see that I was still at the office, I explained to him that I was just about to leave but forgot something…… him.Things weren’t going according to plan as I had wanted but it is fine which is why you should always have a back up. Whilst he went to pick up his car from the parking area, I waited at the front of the company trying to holler for a cab to pick me up, of which I was trying so hard.I stood out in the cold still waiting for his car to pass by and then he would offer me a ride and I would inexcusably accept, which he knows I have turned down several times that he offered.Today was different, it was too risky for me to go home by myself and my phone was broken beyond repairs for me to order for an Uber, apparen
