CHAPTER FORTY
CARMEN’S POV
And he was harsh towards me. His face not betraying any emotions, it was all anger. He wasn’t even thinking twice as he kept throwing orders at me.
Getting angry at him was so useless at this point. Not when he didn’t even want to behold my presence. He was acting as if I didn’t exist at all.
His back against me. Avoiding me. He was even answering calls and taking calls, trying to avoid me completely.
Tears came to my eyes immediately. I know I didn’t do anything wrong, I know I made him worry but isn’t he being overly harsh on me.
I had fun. First time I was having this sort of fun in school.
First time, I’ve found out something to do. And he didn’t support me, he’s just yelling at me. Why?
Tears didn’t stop falling. But he still ignored me. I opened my mouth and began to wail. And that’s when he turned to look at me. I rolled my eyes at him and ran out of the room. I jumped into the bed, curled myself into the bed and began to cry.
Everything was irritating me. Especially Cardo. Why is he in such a frenzy. Why would he shout at me?
I blew my nose still crying.
“Carmen.” I heard his voice and ignored him.
I don’t want to talk to him just the same way he doesn’t want to talk to me. “Carmen.” He called again and he was standing by the doorway.
I tossed to the other side of the bed still crying. “Carmen.” I felt his presence behind my back on the bed.
His hands came around my waist, pulling my back to his front.
“Leave me alone.” I said and pushed his hands away.
And he held me again, he back hugged me. “Carmen, I’m sorry.”
“Just leave me alone. I’m such a troublemaker to you. And you don’t even have to associate with someone like me. I get it.”
“Carmen it’s not like that. I was just so worried. When I came from work and you were not here, I was so scared that something might’ve happened to you.”
His voice, his words so convincing but I didn’t want to stop crying. He had no rights to yell at me. Don’t he know that he looks scary each time he does that.
He turned my front to look at him. “Carmen.” He touched my jaw, then my cheeks and my forehead. He was soothing me. Making my whole body stop reeling with anger. I stopped crying, pouting my lips.
He was brushing my hair with his long fingers. He pecked my forehead. Both of us, went calm.
His yellow eyes staring at mine. He wasn’t angry, he had grown tender and soft now. He wasn’t gonna shout at me again, would he?
“Carmen I was so worried. And I was angry too. You told me you were going to school and then, you were gambling?”
“It was fun. I couldn’t resist. I even got a lot of money from it. Tony is with my money.”
“Carmen.” He called softly. “How does it sound in your ears? A CEO’s wife is gambling. Don’t I have enough money to take care of your expenses, so why gamble?”
Because it is fun. The laughters, the tricks, the happiness that comes with winning, especially the winning that you never deserved.
“Let’s go gambling Cardo and I will show you what it is like to do that.”I said sitting up on the bed and he pulled me back to the bed.
“You want to gamble again?” His brows were raised up.
I shrugged. “I wanted to show you the love that comes with gambling. It’s not all about the money. It’s about the fun that comes with it. I even made some cool friends when I gambled today.”
“Male friends.” He added, his palm supporting his face as he watched me.
I gasped. “Oh my God! How did you know that?” And I remembered Tony, Sh|t! “He even told you that!” Tony is such a big time gossip.
He nodded. “But that’s not the issue here Carmen. Gambling is not ideal. And not for a girl like you.”
“Gambling is fun.”
“So you trying to say that you gambled all morning till this time.”
I shook my head. I was getting lightened up again, and I was probably getting super excited as I recalled Edgar and the places we went.
“Cardo, you know since I started school, I’ve never found school to be so fun until today.”
“Because you were gambling?”
“No, because of this department I stumbled into. It was so cool and so fun.”
“What’s the name of the department?” He asked and at same time, his phone buzzed, he got the phone, staring at it and listening to me at same time.
“Theatre Art department.”
He looked up to my face. “Theatre??”
I chuckled. “Fun right?”
“Yes. But??”
“No buts. I am going to enroll into that department tomorrow.”
And he dropped his phone, his face writhed in confusion. “Carmen, I don’t understand. I thought you were already in a department? Like Medicine?”
I snorted. “I wasn’t. I didn’t even know about that medicine. I don’t like it. But that aside, I never knew school so well until now. And I was going to school everyday without about all this. ” I sighed out.
RICARDO’S POV
Hold on. I don’t seem to wrap my head around what she’s telling me just now. She have been going to school without having a faculty and a department?
His father told me that she’s in to science and in medicine department too. And now, she’s telling me that she_uh_what?
“Carmen. So you wanna be into theatre?”
She nodded giggling. “Yes. You needed to see all the places I went with Edgar.”
Edgar??
“He took me to the dance opera, the ballet dancers were performing!! Then the plays going on. The pitiful love story of Euripides. Oh my God. I wanted to cry for them.” And she sobered this minute and the next minute, she was talking again.
I didn’t know Carmen used to talk too much until tonight. And she didn’t stop mentioning Edgar, and smiling each time she called that name.
Why?
“Edgar? Who’s he?”
“My friend in school.”
Her friend?? And she continued her story. While my phone buzzed again. It was Lucia texting me again. I read and ignored the text.
“So Edgar took me__”
“Hold on, so Edgar is the guy you were sneaking away when I came to meet you?”
“God! You saw that?” She cupped her lips and the next minute, she was smiling again. “You were not meant to see that.”
“Why?”
“Because I didn’t want you to get angry at him.” Her phone buzzed. “This is him!! It’s Edgar.” She was giggling.
My heart skipped. Her eyes were so radiant as she read the text on her phone from Edgar. “Oh my gosh! Edgar doesn’t know that my father owns the school. He was busy telling me about his father being the fourth secretary of my dad.” And she was laughing.
To me, it wasn’t funny. I was getting eaten up by anger, why the Edgar guy? Why make friends with a male instead of a female.
And she was even mute replying to his texts. “Cardo see.” She showed off her phone screen to me.
I checked the text. *Why did you ask me to run that hard? Is everything okay? Your step mom showed up and wanna eat you alive for staying out late*
Hold on? Step mom? “Carmen??”
She was reeling with laughter. “Isn’t he funny? He thinks that I’m born out of wedlock in an unwanted rich home just like the CLINTS.”
“Why would he think that?”
“Because I let him think so. I don’t want him to know that I’m Sebastián’s daughter.”
“And you don’t even want him to know that you’re my wife!?” And this bothered me so much. And she was giggling all through.
Just who is Edgar? You have no rights to make my wife happy apart from me.
“And he’s cute Cardo. You needed to see him. He’s even a trickster and so good at gambling.”
And the gambling again. “I don’t want to see you in that department tomorrow.”
She frowned. “Why? I love the department. It’s fun and there’s Edgar in there. I still have so many fun places to go and Edgar promised to take me.”
A guy she just met for a day and I won’t stop hearing about that irritating name!! “Are you going to school for fun or to learn.”
“Both of them. There’s no school without fun.” She said and then giggled. “That’s the quote from Edgar. He told me that he’s Edgar Allan Poe’s descendant. Can you see that? He’s just so funny.”
He’s not funny!!! If I hear that name one more time, I’m going to scream. Who does he think he is to make her laugh? How many girls have he deceived with his stupid nature of smiling.
I got down from my bed, I grabbed my phone as my secretary didn’t stop sending me mails. I need to check them out and also, use that opportunity to cool off. Take my mind away from Carmen and Edgar.
“Where are you going?” She asked without looking up from her phone.
She’s probably texting Edgar again. Wasn’t she crying a little while ago? And now she’s all about Edgar.
Can’t she look at my face when talking to me? Why Edgar? And who is he?
EDGAR’S POV
I smirked. Smiled. Something I’ve not done for the past five months, probably since my mother passed away because of my hardworking father, who never cares about anyone except himself!
If not for my father’s recklessness, my mother would’ve been alive till today, I’ve not been able to bring myself to smile since then not until I met the most cutest creature on earth today.
No, she’s not cute. She’s just so natural with everything she does. A girl who gambles, clubs, a girl so much interested in having fun than anything else.
I couldn’t stop smiling when I was with her. Even my friend, Alvaro never made me this happy.
She was so easygoing for a girl passing through a lot in her life. And when she said “Run!” I felt for her. Especially when I remember what she’s going to go through this night alone. I don’t know what might have happened to her but I know and I felt that she was so scared when she talked about going home.
And it’s my fault, I made her stay out so late into the night.
Hours passed, the night wore in and I didn’t stop getting worried. So I had no choice than to text her with the number she gave me earlier.
“Hey girl, you cool?” I texted and she replied immediately.
“Edgar, I’m cool. Had so much fun today, thanks to you.”
And we were texting each other. Told each other so many things. I couldn’t help laughing at her silly texts. She’s so good at saying funny things and funny words. I was laughing.
“Why are you laughing?” Alvaro asked as I woke him up with my laughter.
“Nothing. Just a text.”
And I continued my texting and laughing until I slept off, probably texting her.

RICARDO’S POV
“Carmen!” I had to call her repeatedly before she can look up from her phone and to the meal table.
She jolted back to her senses, watching me. And of course, it was Edgar again! Edgar all day and Edgar all night!!!! Is she joking? For the past five days, it’s Edgar this and Edgar that.
And of course, I let her enroll into the department she wanted, even though I’m still confused on what she have been doing in school since four months ago. Not when her father told me that she’s interested in science. And she once messed up a science laboratory because she was doing experiments.
But she’s in theatre now. That’s what she wants. I can’t take what she wants away from her. Not like she will listen to me when I say no. She’s probably gonna do it behind my back.
“Eat your food.” I said grumbling. Since she met Edgar, I think I’m no longer in the picture again. She have been so peaceful in a way that I don’t like.
She don’t confide in me anymore unless it’s Edgar.
She speaks less to me. I asked her why, she said. “You have a lot on your plate. I read in the news on how your family barged into your office demanding an explanation on your recent attitude towards them.”
But that’s not her business!! That shouldn’t stop her from speaking to me!! She’d curl up in her bed all day, either reading or maybe faking it! Either way, she still held a book, reading while texting EDGAR!
That name have been imprinted in my head and I’d see him in my dream chatting with my wife. Carmen giggling. How irritating. They’re becoming my nightmare.
Mi esposa!!
I will probably skin him alive when I get to know him. I’m just too busy these days to care about him.
But in the five days, I achieved alot, I met my father, we discussed about so many things. “I’m so proud of you my boy.” That’s what he said. Something he have never said to me before. How happy I was and how angry I was too because Carmen is not disturbing me these day like she used to.
She comes home early, take care of her own things and mine by herself. She’s utterly calm and I don’t like it! Not when there’s Edgar.
I thought that when she stops causing me problems, I would be at peace but I miss that part of her. Not when she’s showing it off her to someone like Edgar instead of me.
“Carmen, are you going to school today?”
“Yes! I will.” She said as she dressed up for school. “Don’t worry, I already got everything ready for you. The maid will serve you. I don’t want to keep Edgar waiting.”
And of course Edgar again! She can’t say more than two words without involving Edgar. One of these days, my ears may end up bleeding because of her.
“Why would he wait?” I asked getting pissed off.
“Cardo, are you okay? You seem to be on edge these days? Is anything bothering you?”
Why won’t anything bother me? Who’s Edgar? Why does it have be all about him at all times?
I know, yes! He makes her happy, keeps her busy and for five days, I’ve not seen Carmen being this calm and occupied about things. Which is supposed to be a good turn up in her behaviour.
But deep down, I don’t like it. I don’t like the calm Carmen. The other Carmen is more comfortable than this side of her.
“I’m fine.” I said and my phone buzzed again. It was Lucia, have been bugging my life for the past five days.
“Lucia is texting me.” I said loudly to irk her off or maybe get her angry but she looked at me, probably a little frown and that was all. Isn’t she gonna snatch my phone, yell at her and then get mad at me for still having her number.
“Lucia is such an obsessed fellow. Don’t you think so?” She asked putting on her dress.
Just like that? Just that and that’s all? She’s not going to do what she used to do?
“Yeah, she is. She still phones me. She still comes to my office.”
And she stopped buttoning her dress. “She comes to your office!!! Why?!”
And she was getting angry. But then stopped. “She’s a fool. She should just watch out for me. I’m gonna shock her someday and she won’t like it at all.”
She continued what she was doing. I was getting more and more uncomfortable. “I’m so late.” Her phone was ringing. I snatched it away from her. “Cardo.”
I turned off her phone. What? Edgar calls her? Why? Why should he call her?
I laughed angrily. I was getting super mad. Like I’m gonna lose my mind.
“Cardo, are you okay?”
“Get dressed. I’m taking you to school by myself.” I said and she stopped what she is doing, looking at me.
“Cardo, why? You said you not gonna take me to school, few days ago. You always make my new bodyguard, grumpy Stephen do that for me.”
I gulped. “Just dress up. I’m taking you to school by myself.”
She dressed up, I dragged her along with me. I dumped her into the car seat, I strapped the seatbelt on her and closed the car door.
I got in. “Cardo, are you okay?”
Okay? She’s making me angry and getting me worked up in everything she does. She never stops making me riled up.
I drove her to school and the Edgar was actually waiting for her at the school gate. Probably in his car, smiling like a fool that he is. He stepped out when she saw her get out of my car.
“Carmen!!” He jumped at the sight of her and I snorted.
I got out of the car while Carmen smiled nervously towards him.
His eyes came to me. Almost same height with me, but younger than I was. Guess, Diego’s age. “Who is he?” He asked Carmen as he tugged by her side.
“So you’re Edgar? The one that made me not to hear a single word in the house??”
“Yes…”
“Yes??”
“Cardo.” Carmen called my name while I scoffed, running my eyes all over him.
And then he gasped. He seemed to have recognised whom I am. “I didn’t know you’re related to the Alejandrozz Carmen.”he whispered into her ears and I extracted Carmen from his side.
He has no right to hold her while I’m here.
“Thank you for taking care of my wife Edgar.”
His eyes changed. He turned to look at Carmen, I put my arm around her waist while she struggled to let go.
“Cardo, what’s come over you?”
“Carmen…”his voice was stuttering and I loved the look in his face. He must’ve been planning something for Carmen. He must’ve been planning to take Carmen away from me.
He must be stupid. Carmen is mine and mine alone!!
Why would I share her? Huh? If she is bugging me, whose business is it?
“Thank you for keeping my wife busy. I appreciate.”
“Cardo?” Her face was so red as she stared at me.
I touched her nose and pecked her right infront of him.
He needs to know that she’s mine. And I can kiss her wherever I want. I can peck her wherever I want and nothing will happen.
He won’t do anything to stop me.
Because Carmen is mine!!!!
Mi esposa!!
