CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
CARMEN’S POV
“Leave me alone! I want to deal with her! Oh gosh! She’s breathing! I don’t want her to breathe. I want to snuff the life out of her! Why are you guys holding me!”
These guards should let me go!! I have so many people that I want to teach a big lesson. His sisters who won’t stop whining and I need to put their mouth in their places .
I was tucked into the car and taken home. Amidst my shoutings, they didn’t listen to me until they took me home.
“Carmen.” Amélie rushed to me when I was led into the room. “Gawd! Carmen, you look like Sh|t. Leave her alone.” She ordered the guards who left me alone. She led me to a sit, staring at me. “Carmen, what happened? Why are you in such a mess?”
I was mute. I was still angry. The anger didn’t want to subside. That the girl is still breathing over there hurts me. That I left her with Cardo wanted to make me choke. That I didn’t teach his sisters a lesson wanted to suffocate me. Their faces when they teased me is a big insult to me.
I don’t know when she left to get water and a towel until I felt her cleaning my hands with a wet towel. I wanted to pull away but she told me to stay still. “I need to clean you up and apply something to your wounds.”
I let her clean my hands. My face and my neck, my shoulders. “You promised me not to fight.”
“I didn’t fight.”
“Then why are you like this if you didn’t fight?”
“I didn’t fight.” I still maintained. How can she call that a fight? It was a beating. I gave that girl a beating of her life.
“So what did you do?”
“I beat her up.” I replied and sniffled a bit as she applied ointment on my palm. “That hurts.” I said and she eyed me.
“It hurts? Better keep quiet. Because I’m so mad at you right now. I took so much time to prepare you for this night and you ruined it. Why will you beat someone up infront of the grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts?”
I was mute. I didn’t think about that.
“Did you even think about how your papá will feel when he saw you beating someone up. Are you sure they won’t cancel your wedding with Cardo because of what you did?”
“They won’t dare.”
“What if they do?”
“Amélie, I just said that they won’t, and stop bringing that up. You won’t expect me to sit still and watch that woman touch my own Cardo.
Not only that, she went into his room with him, what were they doing there? I can’t still tell and I’m so pissed right now because she’s so alive and breathing while I’m here feeling like Sh|t because of her.”
“What? His ex showed up?”
I nodded bitterly. Finally tears was gathering around my eyes. That Cardo had to lie to me. That he played with my sense, he made me believe him that morning when he lied to me about his whereabouts. Why? Why would he lie to me?
“Not even the lie hurts me Amélie,that he had to spend a night in her house makes me wanna choke to death. What was he doing there the whole night? What gave her the audacity to show up at the party and tell me that to my face. I’m still thinking on that.”
Knock. Knock. Knock on the door. “Who’s there?” Amélie asked and I heard a bodyguard’s voice speaking.
“It’s me. Uhm. Mr. Ricardo is here to see you.”
“Tell him that I don’t want to see him. And I still mean it when I said that he may go blind if I dare see him.”
“Carmen.” I heard his voice and my tears began to flow.
“Please go away. She doesn’t want to see you right now.” Amélie said as she went over to the door.
“Carmen.” He forced his way into the room. “Carmen.” His eyes fell on me and I sprang up wiping the tears off my face as I brewed with fresh anger.
“What are you doing here? I clearly said that I’m gonna blind you if I see you for another minute_” he hugged me. His large arms wrapped around the little me. He was breathing on my skin, he was panting. I tried to shake him away but I guess my strength have gone numb for him.
“I told you to leave me alone.” I said but he didn’t leave me. “Leave me alone and go be with your ex! Go be with your family and your sisters!” I mumbled, tears filled my eyes. I was sobbing on his chest.
“I’m sorry Carmen. I’m so sorry mi esposa.” He lifted me off the floor and in his arms, he sat me down on the stool and knelt down infront of me, he palmed my face, inspecting my face, then my neck and shoulders.
Then he saw the little cut on one side of my lips and he grazed it with a tip of his fingers. Then his face was that of someone who was in so much pain but trying to hold it back.
“You are hurt Carmen.”
“And whose fault is it?” I asked rolling my eyes and he touched the cut on my shoulder. I shifted a bit to avoid the painful feeling that comes with the touching.
“I’m sorry that this is all my fault.”
“Thank God you know and make sure that I don’t see her ever again. Infact, I don’t want to see her in your house tomorrow. Else, it’s your head that I will cut off this time. “
He didn’t talk back, he just resumed the cleaning Amélie was doing to me earlier. He applied a pain relief cream on the wound on my shoulder carefully blowing air on it.
“I’m sorry.” He said as he covered it with a plaster and then he touched the side of my lips.
His gaze on my lips was so intense to the extent that I could feel my stomach rumbling. I know he may not be thinking of something stupid but I was. I wanted him to kiss me and I will forget everything that happened.
He had applied the pain relief cream and was blowing air on it, his pink lips looking so inviting. He was applying plaster on it, his pinky finger scraped my upper lips and a sudden shock ran down my spine. And I think he felt it too cuz our eyes met that same time.
He locked his beautiful eyes with mine, seducing me with his eyes. “You were so beautiful tonight Carmen. I’m so sorry that I made you fight.”
“You made me fight or you lied to me!”
“I lied to you and I shouldn’t have. But it’s because I didn’t want you to get worked up about it.”
“Then what happened in the end? I had to hear about it from someone else. From her! Do you know how it hurts?”
“I’m sorry Carmen. It will never happen again. I promise you.”
Why would I not agree with him when he was seducing me with his beautiful eyes and his sëxy lips. Who am I not to agree with him.
Then his eyes came to my hair. He was straightening it out with his fingers. Then he lifted me off the stool and laid me down on my bed.
“You need some rest.” He said as he covered me up with a duvet. He kissed my forehead but I preferred it to be on my lips instead of my forehead but I can’t ask him. Not after pissing me off tonight.
“I won’t sleep so don’t even try to make me sleep. Just go away.” I said trying to act stubborn, I looked away from him and I heard shuffles beside me, he was tucking himself under my sheets and spooning me.
I turned to look at him and I was so shocked. The heat of my body grew. What’s he thinking as he’s lying next to me like this? And why is he so large? His shoulders look much bigger when he’s lying down. He’s like a mountain. Why is he so big?
His hands came around my waist, as he pulled me closer. My heart beating so hard against my chest. He finally wrapped his large arms around me and began to pat my back.
His body is so warm. And big and like a second bed. “Carmen, you can sleep now and stop being angry.”
“Don’t you dare try to act cute with me, it will not make my anger go away. I’m angry with you and I will keep being angry with you.”
ANTONIO’S POV
I patted her back even against her will. I wanted to put her sleep so I can finally go back home and face the mess I created. I know I’m in a hot soup but pacifying Carmen should come first and that’s why I followed her even when she told me not to.
I don’t know anything, I don’t want to think about anything until I’ve finally made her sleep. She meant so much to me, I didn’t realize that until I saw the anger on her face as she was determined to tear Lucia apart.
If she meant so much, why did I lie to her in the first place? I kissed her forehead over and over again until she was quiet. She was relaxed around me.
“Loving and fighting,
Accusing, denying. I can’t imagine a world with you gone.
The joy and the chaos, the demons were made of.
I’d be so lost if you left me alone.
You locked yourself in the bathroom, lying on the floor when I break through, I pulled you in to feel your heartbeat, can you hear me screaming please don’t leave me…” I wasn’t even done singing when she fell asleep. She was breathing quietly but steady.
I tucked her hair to the back of her ears and watched her sleepy face.
Can she be less cute in her life? Can she stop making my heart pound each time I look at her? Now that she’s sleeping and looking like an angel, one would hardly believe that she was actually the one causing a big ruse earlier.
I gathered her closer. I’m not letting her go. I know our encounter wasn’t so clean but I’m not letting her go to anyone. She belongs with me and I will do everything I can to keep her with me.
But first, I need to go home. Face my grandparents and my parents too. Then my uncles and aunties, my grand uncles and elder cousins, I have a lot of things to sort out with them, then I will see her tomorrow.
“Is she sleeping?” Amélie asked me when I came out of her room and in the hallway to see her waiting for us all these time.
I nodded my head. “Yes, don’t wake her up. It took me a lot of time to put her to sleep.”
She smiled and then bowed her head at me. “Thank you so much.”
I nodded and then came into the living room where I saw her father. My heart shook terribly as our eyes met and it got worse when he ignored me and went into his room. I guess the mess I created is so big.
“Ricardo.”I heard him call me when I reached the exit door.
“Sir.”
“Be strong. I’m rooting for you all the time.” He said smiling and I nodded my head before I left.

“Ricardo should be removed from that company before he ruin our reputation further papá” one of my uncle argued. He was speaking to my father who was his senior brother. They all call him papá since they lost their father few years ago. And my mother’s parents had left yesternight after what happened.
“Yes. He’s right. He’s always out to show us a new side to him on each gathering. Not to talk of how he was gallivanting all over the place two days ago. I mean, why would an Alejandro be seen in a policiá, doing what exactly!” One of my aunties said.
I badly wanted the ground to open so I can get into it. Everyone was just so busy criticizing me this morning after keeping quiet all night. Everyone had something to say, something to condemn about me.
Everyone was talking, they won’t accept me ruling the Alejandrozz again. They want me to step down. My father tried to pacify them but it wasn’t working.
“Now he’s getting involved with women. How can he ruin our party with his little wife who has no courtesy and respect for the elders. If she had a score to settle, why didn’t she wait for the gathering to be over?”
” Stop attacking Ricardo, he’s a child too and he’s growing up.” My mother finally spoke as everything became too much. As if she knew that I’m about to burst.
“That’s the more reason you should give that post to Bernadette. She’s your eldest child and can manage the Alejandrozz much better. Can you guys stop discriminating your kids and do what’s right?”
So this is what my sisters wanted. To take me down. My eyes went to Bernadette’s immediately and she was smiling mischievously towards me.
No one was speaking for me. Everyone was angry with me. “Blood. It was like I was seeing a live horror movie yesternight. Who would dare beat up Lucia, that famous actress. Papá, how come you’re letting Ricardo settle with that tiny thug?”
Then someone was clapping for all of us from afar, our attention went to where the clap was coming from. And my eyes widened when I saw Carmen clapping and smirking as she came towards us.
Then she walked past me without looking at me. Everyone became quiet.
Carmen. What’s she doing? “Good morning everyone.” She greeted and then slammed the table making everyone jolt out of their skin except mine.
“Carmen.” I called but she ignored me.
“So which one of you think that Ricardo should step down?”
“Hey little girl? I think you need some manners.” One of my auntie said but she scoffed at her.
“She’s got no manners actually. She disrespects everyone and anyone.” Victoria chipped in.
But Carmen was still scoffing. “If you guys don’t want to see madness, then leave Ricardo alone. I get mad when people make him feel bad.”
“And why are we trying to explain ourselves to a kid like her.” My uncle said and she was moving to go meet him.
I smelt danger looming in the air. There was no time to think of when she got here, how she got here and how much she heard. The only time I had now was how I’m gonna stop her from causing another trouble.
“Carmen.” But no, she wasn’t Carmen anymore. She had grabbed the table and was flipping it over, everyone gasped and stood from their sit.
“Now talk to me all of you!!! Tell me that you want to mess with my Cardo! I want to hear it!!”
My father was smirking as he sipped his coffee and sitting down on his sit. He crossed his legs and turned to my uncle. As if he was unaffected by the panic everyone was already having.
“This is why I chose her for Ricardo.”
“What!” My uncle screamed.
I went after Carmen as she kept running after things to break.
“Carmen, you gonna wound yourself!”
“Grab your mad wife out of here Ricardo.” Bernadette said while I eyed her before I went after Carmen as she had began to chase everyone around.
“I need everyone out of this house! Now!!”
“Carmen can you stop?” I finally got hold of her and threw her over my shoulder, taking her way while she wriggled to get away.
“Put me down!! Put me down! Let me deal with them! I don’t care if they don’t come to my wedding but I want to show them how it’s done! How dare they mess with you! Are they crazy? They want you out? Why? Are they better than you?”
“Carmen, it’s okay.” I tried to soothe her as she kept shaking on my shoulder, I had to hold her tightly apologizing with my head as I passed by any of my uncles and aunties as I took the hallway leading to my room.
“Fuçk you all!!!” She was still screaming.
Carmen.
Oh. Carmen.
