CHAPTER SIXTEEN
CARMEN’S POV
“Amélie, look at the kind of make up I want this night for the family gathering. And I need to wear that skimpy purple dress Cardo bought for me yesterday.
And I need to style my hair like that of Ariana Grande’s.
I need to look super super hot so that Cardo won’t be able to take his eyes off me tonight. I want him to not stop looking at me until he finally takes me to his bed and sleeps with me.”
And she was laughing hysterically as if all I’m saying is like a joke to her. “Come on Carmen, your wild thoughts will one day put you in trouble.”
I frowned at her and then flung my hair to one side so I will be able to see her. “Amélie, you think I’m joking. He likes me already. He called me cute. He protects me. You need to see the way he kisses me.”
“I know. You’ve told me this story for the hundredth time today. So can you please keep your head straight so I can style it to your liking. Andyou can wear your purple dress and go to the family gathering. It’s almost seven.”
I nodded and kept my head straight so that she will style it like Ariana Grande’s. I can’t wait to storm the party. Rocking my purple dress. I can’t wait to get heads turning.
Especially that of Cardo’s. I can almost imagine his yellow eyes turning darker as he glares at me before he will pick me off the floor, twirl me in the air and then say.”You’re so cute. So pretty, mi esposa.”
Oh. My.God. I can’t wait. I can’t wait to storm the party. To kill the gathering. But first, I must look stunning, I must be the best dressed. I want to beat his sisters. I want to beat his cousins, his aunties who are coming over. I will tell them that I’m a Sebastian. They can be the Alejandrozz but I’m Sebastian and we rock too!
“I want to wear a Fendi designer heel and a Dior designer bag.”
“Not Alejandrozz designer heels and bags?”
“No. That purple dress is a designer dress from the company already, I need something for a change.”
“Okay.” And she was done styling my hair. She gave me my purple strapless gown. I giggled as I put it on and she helped me zip up. “d@mn! This is so little! I mean, can you breathe in this? You can’t even bend down in this dress, it’s so freaking short!”
And she was right, I could barely move around in this dress. It’s so undersized. But I love it. I loved the tiny shiny diamonds crest all over the dress. And the folds at the sides. Then the strapless hands. It left my shoulder bare. But then my legs are gonna be so exposed to cold.
“I can manage this.” I mumbled.
“Oh come on Carmen. This is so short__and too hot!”
“I will wear it. Cardo will like it right? I mean, he picked it out for me.”
“He didn’t know it’s gonna be so little on you.”
I sighed. I didn’t wanna take it off. I so much love this dress. I don’t wanna part with it. I want Cardo to see me wearing it. Rocking it in my black shiny heels. “Maybe I can wear my thongs.”
“You’re visiting the Alejandrozz babe. I heard that one of the daughters is a fashion designer.”
Ohkay. So which of the stupid three is the designer. I heaved. I honestly don’t wanna feel small infront of those three. Only their eyes and I honestly will lose it.
“Don’t worry, let’s change into something else. Maybe red. You said he also got you a red dress. We can actually wear that for the gathering.”
But I wasn’t ready to path with the dress but I finally gave up on it. I changed into the stunning red and from the look on Amélie’s face, I know that I was actually drop dead gorgeous.
“Oh.My.God! Cardo will marry you again and again and again when he sees you in this dress!”
The dress wasn’t long, it stopped a little before my knees but it hugged my body, the hands so skinny, it hugged my arms and my neck was cut in a V shape so a little of my cleavages was showing. It looked so beautiful! Though I preferred the purple one.
And she made me up. I looked like a queen when I stared at myself in the mirror. “Amélie, you’re always the best in everything you do!”
“Yeah, if you won’t ruin this.”
“I won’t ruin it. I swear. I won’t fight tonight.” But she didn’t believe me with the look in her eyes. “Come on, who am I gonna fight at the party? Not his grandparents, or his parents, not him or even his sisters, not his cousins or even his aunties or uncles.”
“I know you and this is what you tell me all the time.”
“I promise you this time. No matter what, I’m not gonna fight. Cardo already promised to show me his body.”
She scoffed. “I hear you, now get going. Your father have been waiting for you for a long time now.”

We arrived at the Alejandrozz house and I was so happy. I’ve never been this happy in my life. I mean, I’m meeting my husband’s people and of course I need to be happy but first of all, I need to find Cardo.
I texted him. “Where are you?”
“In my room. You still home?” He texted back.
“No, I just arrived at your place. I’m coming up to your room.”
RICARDO’S POV
When her knock came on my door and I shouted come in and she finally did, I knew that my life is already sealed with this girl, forever.
“Cardo.” She called my name but I wasn’t sure if this was my fiancé or someone else. She was…goddamn it, I was so speechless and for the rest of the night, I couldn’t take my eyes off her and I didn’t let my cousin brothers hug her for too long. Or my young uncles to touch her for too long. I don’t know I was this possessive or jealous until tonight.
I didn’t let my grown up grand uncles look at her twice, especially the ones her age, especially when they get too chatty or try to invite her for a drink with them. Or a dance. I didn’t want to let her out of my sight.
I made sure she stays where I can see her and when I see her chatting away so freely with my cousin sisters and smiling, it’d make smile too. She’s so beautiful and lively at all times. I wanted to shout out to everyone who cared to know that she’s my wife.
But all of this was short lived. When Lucia suddenly showed up to the gathering.
“What are you doing here?” I asked when she hugged me and blew kisses to my face. My heart didn’t help but skip a thousand times. I knew that it won’t be long and Carmen will look my way and seeing Lucia around won’t smell nice. All these her nice attitude tonight will be gone and I’m gonna be in a big trouble.
“What do you mean what am I doing here? I missed you so much after that night we had together.”
“Lucia.” I grabbed her hand and led her away so we can talk in private. I had no other place to take her for a quiet talk that will be as quiet and unoccupied as my room. So I led her to my room. I let go off her hand. “Lucia, what exactly are you doing here?”
“To see you. I was invited.”
“Who invited you. This is a family gathering for God’s sake. You can’t be here.”
“But I was invited. See the card.” She showed it to me and my mind nearly blew off when I saw Bernadette’s signature on it. Why will she invite Lucia to this party when she knows fully well that this isn’t a party but a family gathering.
What’s she cooking up? Is she trying to get on Carmen’s nerves because of the fight they had the last time.
Oh no. If this is what I’m thinking then it’s not good, because the Carmen I know…I gulped when I recalled Carmen’s face, how her cute eyes brews with anger and fire each she gets pissed off.
Oh no. She’s gonna beat up Lucia and as for me, I think I should be digging my grave now.
Why now? Why now that I’m already feeling something beautiful happening between Carmen and I. Now that I’m happy, someone is ruining it.
“I’ve missed your room so much. Everything,” she tried to sit down on the bed but I didn’t let her, she wanted to touch the paintings on the wall, and the gold sculptures placed at each corner of my room as she roamed around but I didn’t let her.
“You know what? You need to leave now. I will drive you home.” I said and dragged her along with me until we bumped into Bernadette by the stairs.
“Hey Lucia. I’ve been looking for you but I guess you were so busy looking for your prince charming that you didn’t wanna talk to me.” She teased winking at me and I rolled my eyes. I could see through her acts.
“Well, as you can see.” Lucia grabbed my waist and I prayed for Carmen not to be close, she shouldn’t be seeing this. The last thing I wanna do right now, is to hurt Carmen.
“Okay. You need to let him go now because it’s time for the family to eat.” She said and then led her away and that’s when I saw Carmen staring at me from afar, even though she was far, I could feel her dead gaze on me. My heart stopped beating. I was good as dead already.
My hands were shaking. What am I gonna tell her? I could feel her anger from where she was standing.
Then she wanted to walk up to me but she was led away by one of my aunties who was smiling as she led her to the dining room.
And I sluggishly went to the dinner table with a decided fate. It’s either I die tonight or I die later after the gathering is over. And for no good reason, I just felt the urge to explain everything to her.
I sat down beside her while Lucia sat down beside me. Everyone was seated. From my grand parents who were seated first, my father came next, then my mother, then my uncles, then my aunties, my grand uncles and aunts. Elder cousins, both male and female, then my sisters who sat opposite me. Carmen was at my right side while Lucia on my left.
And the meal began. Cutleries speaking gently on the ceramic plates. I was helping Carmen since she wasn’t doing anything but cross her arms on her chest and stare at me at intervals.
“Eat up.” I will say but she ignored me as I placed food on her plate or sometimes feed her myself.
“Carmen, aren’t you gonna eat? You seem angry?” Victoria suddenly said smiling at her.
“Victoria stop.” I said gently trying to avoid the attention of the extended family on us but it can’t be avoided because soon, the uncles and aunties were talking, laughing loudly with my father and mother and Carmen’s father.
Like a witch, Lucia suddenly touched my arm. “Is she the one you’re getting married to? Your wife? Isn’t she so little.”
“Lucia, stop. Eat, get up and leave.”
Then I heard Carmen scoff, her full glare on me now. “So she’s the Lucia? She’s the one who was hugging you earlier? The one you dragged to your room earlier huh?” Her voice was loud. And she was standing up now.
“Carmen, I can explain this. I will explain and I promise, this is not what you think.” I said trying to soothe her, to get her to sit down but she wasn’t here anymore.
I was so freaking scared and my sisters were adding to the whole mess.
“Yes, she’s Lucia, the one Ricardo is really in love with. So snap out of it child and go back to school!” Louisa yelled.
“Louisa stop!” It was my mother who shouted this time. “Have some table manners and respect my parents and uncles who are here!”
“They don’t need to respect anyone here because I think I’ve got a lot of respect to fix for some people tonight.” Carmen replied sharply.
Oh no. This is not good. “Carmen, look at me. “But she won’t, she strolled to where Lucia sat and made her get up from her seat.
“So you’re Lucia?”
“And you’re the kid Ricardo is getting married to.” Lucia replied sharply crossing her arms and thinking that she’s talking to a kid. Carmen isn’t. Not right now.
“Yes. But why are you here? Exes are always exes, why are you here?”
“I don’t think I should answer that. Ask your would-be husband who invited me here.”
And Carmen’s eyes came sharply to my face and then back at her. “Invited you here? Cardo won’t do that.”
“Cardo? You even have a nickname for him?” Lucia scoffed. “Look kid, did he tell you about the night he spent at my place few days ago?”
And Carmen’s eyes came to my face again. I was already peeing my pants. “Cardo, you spent a night at her place?”
“I can explain this.”
“You can explain this? Don’t tell me that the day you slept out and I was waiting for you, you were actually at her place.” She said calmly and I knew that there’s nothing I can say at this point.
I’m so embarrassed and I feel like Sh|t. This is all my sister’s doing. They wanted everyone in the family to see this ugly side of me all the time. They do it in every family gathering and I’m such a fool for not being able to know it on time until it’s too late.
Carmen was smiling and then she was laughing and the next minute, she took off her heels, everyone was watching except me. I was trying to hold her but she gave me a warning look. I wouldn’t dare go close. She’s so angry, very angry, this type of anger, I’ve never seen her this angry before.
“Lucia, repeat what you just said again. You said that what happened?”
And Lucia explained herself all over again, feeling herself and smiling and the next thing we all heard was a bottle smashing on her head.
Everyone gasped. Blood!
Oh no. Carmen.
“Carmen, stop!” I heard her father’s voice.
But she wasn’t here anymore. She made sure she had Lucia’s head in her hands as she yanked her from one side to the other.
“Carmen!!”
“Don’t call my name Cardo! Don’t worry, when I’m done with her, I will start with your own case. So wait a little, I’m almost done.”
And Lucia was fighting back weakly with her face covered with blood. “How dare you little girl to…” A slap greeted her face over and over again until bodyguards were pulling her off Lucia’s body.
Detaching her from Lucia was the hardest thing for the two bodyguards to do. Everyone was speechless and Carmen was screaming.
“How dare you! How dare you Lucia to tell me to my face that you phoned my man and made him come to your place! Who do you think you’re?
How dare you! I will make sure that from tomorrow, you will change your name! You will need a plastic surgery before you can show off your face to the public again!
Are you mad!! Are you insane? Do you know who I am? And you had the guts to show up here? Huh! You had the guts to go into my man’s room and then you touched his waist!!”
I went after the guards as they carried her on their shoulders why she struggled.
“Carmen! Carmen I’m sorry.”
“I don’t want to see you for another minute Cardo, else, you will walk down the aisle with me on our wedding day blind!”
Blind?
Me?
