CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN
EDGAR’S POV
I lay on my bed. My whole world messed around with, my whole world feeling like it’s gonna crumble__or maybe it have already crumbled ever since I met Carmen.
Maybe I shouldn’t have met her, or maybe it felt so nice that I did. My pitiful life won’t have been excited for a while if I never met her but then, she’s not mine__ or maybe I’m not strong enough to make her mine or maybe I just don’t want to fight to make her mine.
What’s with me? Why is everything happening to me? My mom died, I don’t have anyone on my side__ okay I have my friends.
But none of them were as close to me as Carmen was to me and she’s not mine!! Can never be mine!!
That’s the harsh reality, I will never get to see her smile again, even if I do, it’s never gonna be the same.
Never again.
I sat up from the bed, got down and went to my reflection in the mirror, I checked myself out and I looked so tired and worn out.
My eye bags so visible, it’s very obvious that I haven’t slept for a long time now, probably since Carmen took her husband’s side and asked me to leave her house.
Even after running over to be with her, then the malicious comments which I couldn’t deal with. An affair. They called me all sorts of names.
Still worrying about what people are saying about her, she was caught on Camera going to Paris with her husband! As if I’m nothing, like I don’t matter to her. Our time never mattered to her since the centre of her world is always about her husband.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and I could feel my anger and hurt bubbling up inside me. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I refused to give in to the pain and the sadness.
But it hurts!!
I clutched my chest as my tears began to fall freely, maybe I should’ve met her earlier, since she’s meant to be my bride, I should’ve met her earlier before Ricardo did.
Maybe I would’ve gotten a chance to live with her, we suit each other! We fit each other in so many ways unlike her relationship with Ricardo.
Should I wait for her? Maybe someday, she might get tired of him, when she finally realises that I’m the only one for her, the only person who can understand, maybe then, she will come to me.
Is that ever gonna happen? I asked reflection and sighed out and the next minute, I had opened my door and moving downstairs to go get some food. I’ve been starving for three days now.
I knew that I had to eat something, but the thought of food made me feel sick to my stomach. Losers don’t eat. How could I lose in a fight which never started, I’m the world biggest loser.
I dragged myself to the kitchen, the room feeling too big and too empty. It was too quiet, and the silence was starting to feel oppressive. I opened the fridge, but I couldn’t bring myself to eat anything.
I closed the fridge and sank to the floor, leaning my back against the cabinets. I let my head fall back and closed my eyes, trying to block out the world around me.
I let myself breathe, focusing on the sound of my own breathing. In and out, in and out. I tried to focus on the present moment, to stay in the here and now. I tried to calm my racing thoughts, to let myself just be. But it was no use. I was overwhelmed, I was drowning.
So I left the kitchen and walked into the living room, I slumped into the couch and sluggishly took up the remote and turned on the TV, tuning the channel, finding no fun in wh@tëver show going on. I kept tuning until I heard;
“Lucia, the world hottest and most beautiful actress confesses to a very conniving and dreadful act against the nation’s company wife Miss Carmen Alejandro, she poisoned her over jealousy and envy in order to win back Mr. Ricardo Alejandro, her ex and__” what am I hearing? Carmen was poisoned by Lucia!!
My heart skipped a beat as I heard the news reporter’s words. Lucia had poisoned Carmen? I knew this was gonna happen, Carmen really entered the lion’s den.
A video of her confessing to her sins and crying was played. “I let my jealousy get the better of me, I didn’t mean it to happen but Bernadette deceived me, along with his brothers, I don’t know who they exactly are but I’m sure they’re Mr. Ricardo’s brothers.
I’m sorry everyone, I’m sorry Carmen and I’m so sorry Mr. Ricardo for touching your wife and bringing her to a near death experience.” I changed the news feeling my head boiling but I don’t want to act rash by trying to go over to where Carmen is, maybe she might not want me there.
But I wanted to go, be with her, console her for being through this by herself, she must’ve been so scared, she must’ve wanted someone to vent to.
And it hit me again, she has that person. She has her Cardo, or don’t she?
I changed the channel again. “Mr. Luca of the Alejandrozz family was caught this evening by Mr. Ricardo for murdering Late Mr. Alejandro, and an attempted murder against __” what is happening in that family?
I was feeling completely overwhelmed by everything I was hearing. There was so much going on, and it all seemed so unbelievable. I couldn’t process it all at once. But one thing was clear – the Alejandrozz family was in crisis. And it seemed like everyone was turning against each other, lashing out in anger and violence. I felt like I was watching a real-life soap opera, full of drama and deceit. I couldn’t look away, even though it was painful to watch.
And Carmen must’ve been the centre of the problems. What in the world did she do to get all these h@të from the family?
Maybe she’s in danger, I stood up hurriedly, to go to her and just then, the door flew open and my father walked into the house aggressively.
“Father.” I called and he stopped when he had almost reached the stairs. “Are you okay?” I asked because of the aggressive mood he came in with.
“Pack your things, we’re leaving this house now!!”
In shock, “What? Why?”
He gave me a thunderous gaze, “Don’t you stand there and ask me useless questions! Get to your room and start getting your things. We’re leaving this house in less twenty minutes from now. ”
“I still want to know why we will have to leave this house in such a hurry. What’s wrong? Anything happen at work?”
“It’s better if you don’t ask me questions.” He said coldly and went upstairs leaving me confused and shocked.
The atmosphere in the house was tense, and I could feel the stress radiating off of my father. Something was obviously very wrong, and he didn’t want to tell me about it.
I felt helpless, not knowing what was going on. Why do we have to leave? Where are we going?
But I did as he said, I went to my room and started packing my things. I was still in a state of disbelief, but I knew that I had to move quickly. Wh@tëver was happening, it was urgent. I grabbed a bag and started putting in the essentials: clothes, toiletries, and a few important docvments.
As I was packing, my mind was racing, trying to make sense of everything. What could have possibly happened to make my father so agitated? I knew he could be a bit hot-headed at times, we never get along but this was different.
There was something deeply troubling him, and I needed to find out what it was. But for now, I had to focus on getting ready to leave. I finished packing my bag and went back downstairs. My father was waiting for me by the front door, his face still a mask of anger and worry.
“I want you to stay close to me and not stray even an inch away,”
“What’s going on?” He turned to leave, “I’m not going anywhere with you if you don’t tell me what all this is about.” I stopped him in his tracks with my words.
“This is not the right moment to ask me this questions, we need to evacuate this house now.”
“I still need to know why we’re leaving.” I insisted.
“Can you stop being stubborn and listen to me for once!!” He raised his voice at me, he was angry but how am I supposed to know what’s making him angry? He can’t just come home and tell me to follow him around like a puppy! I’m not kid! I’m twenty one!! And I own myself. It’s either he explains to me what’s going on or I’m not going anywhere.
“Edgar, we need to move!!” He said softly.
He was clearly agitated and stressed, and I could tell that he was trying to keep himself calm. I knew that wh@tëver was going on was serious, and that I needed to cooperate.
“Fine,” I said, my voice resigned. “I’ll do what you say, just please tell me what’s going on as soon as we’re out of here.” He nodded, and we both headed for the door.
We walked out the door and down the driveway, heading for the car. My father was silent, his jaw clenched as he walked. I followed behind him, trying to stay close without being too close. As we reached the car, he stopped and turned to face me.
“We’re leaving because we’re in danger, Sebastián’s men might get to us before we can get a chance to leave the country,” he said, his voice tense.
Leaving me in utter shock again. “We’re leaving the country? Why? So we’re not just leaving this house but we’re leaving the country?!”
“Yes we have to,”
“Why are Mr. Sebastián’s men after you?”I asked trying not to believe that Carmen’s father wants to punish my father even after promising to give her daughter to me but took back his word. He can’t be that cruel, would he?
“Father, talk to me, what did you do?”
“I… Just get in the car,” he pushed me in and got in himself, our chauffeur preparing to drive off.
“Listen, Mr. Sebastián is a powerful man, he’s ruthless and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And right now, what he wants is revenge,” my father said, his voice heavy with regret. “I made a mistake, I crossed him and now he’s after me and my family. I’m so sorry, son. I never meant for any of this to happen.” His voice broke and I could tell he was struggling to keep himself together.
And it finally hit me, I know my father and I know what he’s capable of. Tears brimmed around my eyes, I wished that what my instincts were telling me isn’t true, I tried to push it off me but no, it won’t go away.
“Don’t tell me you have a hand in what happened to Carmen, don’t tell me you have a hand in what’s going in that family?”
His eyes looked up at me with so much guilt. “So it’s true right?” I asked rhetorically, that’s the truth, his eyes said it all. He had a hand in it!!
Anger surged into me, “Para el coche (Stop the car),” I told the chauffeur.”
“Eddie, ¿puedes calmarte? (Eddie, can you calm down?)”
“Calm down?! “No. You lied to me, you lied about everything. I can’t believe you did this,” I said, my voice shaking with rage.
“You said you wanted what’s best for me, but all you wanted was to get back at Mr. Sebastián. You used me, you used Carmen, and now you’ve ruined everything!” Tears began to stream down my face as I let my emotions out. I felt betrayed, used, and above all, alone.
My father reached out to me, but I pulled away. “Stop the d@mn car!!” I yelled and began to shake, wriggle, yell, I didn’t wanna hear anything until the car was brought to a stop.
The car slowed down and finally came to a stop on the side of the road. I got out and began to walk, not caring where I was going, just needing to get away. The air was cool and crisp, and the sun was beginning to set, painting the sky with beautiful shades of orange and pink.
But I couldn’t appreciate the beauty of the sunset, my mind was too consumed with anger and hurt. I just kept walking, not knowing where I was going, but needing to be away from my father.
I walked for what felt like hours, lost in my own thoughts. My anger began to fade, but the hurt remained. I felt so betrayed by my father, and I didn’t know how I could ever forgive him. I was filled with so many questions, but I had no answers. I finally stopped walking and sat down on a bench, looking out over a small lake. I felt empty and exhausted.
I don’t know how long I sat there, but eventually the sun had set and it was dark. I felt a sudden chill in the air, and I shivered.
As I shivered, I became aware of another presence beside me. I looked over and saw someone sitting next to me, wearing a hooded jacket and a scarf around his face. I felt a jolt of fear, not knowing who this person was or what he wanted.
“Please don’t hurt me,” I said, my voice shaking.
“I’m not here to hurt you,” I heard the voice, unspeakably Carmen. I sprang up from my seat immediately while she uncovered herself to meet her eyes with mine.
“Carmen.” I breathed out and I felt a lump of pain coming out of my very depth. “How are you here?”
But she didn’t speak, she didn’t say anything, she kept watching me for several minutes and I could barely hold myself together infront of her.
“Eddie, I arrested your father few hours ago.” She said bluntly and I almost did not have anything to say. “He wronged me, he wronged my family and I can’t spare him, but he pleaded with me to see you, against my husband’s wish and that’s why I’m here, to comfort you.”
I was speechless, unable to find the words to respond. My father had been arrested, and Carmen had been the one to do it. I was filled with a mix of emotions: confusion, anger, sadness, and fear. I didn’t know what to believe or who to trust. I didn’t know what to do.
Carmen reached out and took my hand, and I flinched at her touch. But she held on, her grip firm but not harsh. She looked into my eyes, her expression earnest and gentle. “I know this is hard, but please believe me. I’m being a little nice to you because you were my friend.”
“Were your friend?”
“Yes,” a cold Carmen was staring right into my face, “Because you seized becoming one since I discovered that your father have been a mole leeching off my father and trying to act nice. What if he had hurt my father like he wanted to do before he was caught. I would’ve torn you to pieces and fed you to my father’s dogs.”
“Carmen.” I was hurt by her words. Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. I felt sick to my stomach, and a wave of panic swept over me.
I had no idea that my father had been doing anything to hurt the Alejandro family, and the thought that he might have done something so horrible made me feel like the ground had been ripped out from under me. “I didn’t know,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “I swear I didn’t know.”
Carmen’s expression didn’t change for a second and she took her time to spell out every word to me, what she have been through, what Ricardo have been through. Then she sighed out as if she’s trying to force back tears.
“Now that I’ve seen you, let me give you a final warning,” her face as cold as ever, I’ve never seen her be this way towards me before, even the last time she asked me to leave her house, she wasn’t like this.
“Stay away from my family, stay the Fuçk away from anything that has to do with me.”
“Carmen.”
“I h@të to end this friendship but I don’t think I want to have anything to do with you again.”
She turned to leave, my heart ripping in so many pieces, I held her back.
“Please, don’t go,” I said, my voice thick with emotion. “I know I’ve made mistakes, but I never meant to hurt you. And I promise that I won’t do anything to your family or you, ever again. I just want to be friends again, like we used to be.” I knew I sounded desperate, but I didn’t care. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing her.
Carmen looked at me for a moment, her face unreadable.
“Piérdase Eddie (Get lost Eddie.) I don’t want to ever see you again. And if I do, I swear, I’m gonna tear you to shreds.”
She removed her hand from mine. And as I watched her leave, I felt my insides boil up.
Carmen.
Is this how we were meant to end even after a sweet start. Is this how I’m gonna be tossed away? Because of the sins of my father? Because I was used!!
Isn’t she gonna cut me some slack? Isn’t she gonna look back and give me one last look, maybe for the last time. Maybe she can tell me that she’s taking time off to forgive me. I know my father’s sins are grave but I’m not my father!!
She suddenly stopped and turned to look at me. My heart ramming so hard in my chest.
“Your useless father said you should take your meals regularly and be stupidly strong for him.” She said and left.
Walked out of my life forever.
“I will wait for you to accept me again Carmen!!!” I echoed as she moved on and on without looking back.
“Don’t you dare Eddie!! I’m done with you for life!!”
“I’m going to wait!!”
“Grow up Eddie!!!!” She yelled in faint voice. “Grow up!!!!”
