CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
CARMEN’S POV
“Can you keep quiet now?” He asked as he tucked me under his car seat belt. He locked it. And I was still seething. I didn’t want to calm down. Not yet.
“Why are they so annoying?”
“I know. You just have to put up with them, instead of fighting with them at all times.”
No. I don’t put up with rubbish, rather, I put them in their places. “Carmen, do you know you’re vulgar.” He said as he started driving.
“You’re not going to talk to your sisters but me? They need to stop looking for my trouble!”
He sighed and we both fell silent. I didn’t even want to think of his sisters for even a second. It eats me up to think of what they said. “Victoria is three years older than me.” He broke the silence and I scoffed.
“Isn’t she ashamed to be unmarried at her age?”
“I’m telling you so you will know that she’s ten years older than you. Not to talk of Louisa or Bernadette.”
“Then they should act their age and stop talking to me as they please.”
“Can’t you let some things slide in your life? Will you keep fighting for everything?”
“Yes! I h@të when people stamp on my own rights and act as if it’s nothing all in the name of respect.”
“You were so harsh on Bernadette.”
“Cardo, can you drive me safely to school now and stop talking? I’m so angry right now and hearing you take your sisters’ side is making my whole body cringe.”
“Carmen.”
I eyed him. “I said keep quiet else you will drop me off here.” I said and crossed my hand beneath my chest pouting.
“Here? In the middle of the road?”
“Exactly, so better keep quiet.”
He sighed and we both fell silent and he didn’t speak to me again until he dropped me off in school. He didn’t even kiss me goodbye as I stepped out of the car. He didn’t even wait up for me to get into the school building before he zoomed off.
I became furious. Why is he always getting angry at me and not at others? What did I do this time? If someone should be pissed between the two of us, then it should be me! It’s me that was insulted. Bernadette had the guts to mention my mother in this situation. Unless I claw her face, her neck, she won’t learn how to keep my mother out of our conversation.
But Cardo. He’s such a jerk! Let me get my hands on him later and he won’t like what I’m gonna do to him. I walked into the school hall.
And I stumbled into a crowd as I was headed to the class, the students were booing. Why? I wanted to know so I meandered my way into the front and a boy was getting beaten up by another guy.
Just like highschool. Gosh! I thought some kids are supposed to be grown up by now. Why bully someone in college! Why not exercise your father’s affluence somewhere else and not on some poor kid like him.
“Now tell me, how much does your father have in his account? Why send you to such a prestigious school like this? I’ve told you so many times that I h@të to see you.” The bully boy said as he picked off the boy from the floor by holding his collar and spitting into his face as he spoke.
So disgusting. When was the last time that bully boy brushed his teeth. I wanted to know.
“I’m talking to you!!” He was scaring that boy, who was shaking with fear.
I sighed. I need to get out of here before I get into trouble again. I don’t want anything that will make me get noticed in school again, I don’t want to put Cardo into trouble again.
I tried to take a step back but someone pushed me into the circle, I fell but got up immediately. And I came eye to eye with the bully, he was glaring at me, as if he wanted to eat me up with his gaze.
“Oh! You’re the little girl who have been making waves since last week huh!” He dropped the boy to the floor and came towards me.
Carmen, avoid trouble. No matter how bad he treats you, don’t fight back. Let’s listen to Cardo for once in our life. I won’t fight him. No matter how much he spits into my face when he speaks, I will turn a blind eye then I will wash my face later.
And he was pulling me up, crowd was laughing. Then he was smiling. “I can’t believe this! I still can’t believe that you were the same person who made the whole school speechless in a day.”
Carmen don’t talk. Stomach it in. Don’t say anything to him. No matter how much he looks for your trouble, let’s play cool. Just like Cardo.
“Leave me alone. ” I squealed and he was laughing.
Such a dirty laugh! And his mouth was smelling. I wanted to vomit.
“I should leave you alone? Aren’t you gonna act brave today? Oops! I heard that the mighty and foolish Alejandro was here to look for you, is that true?”
You know Carmen. We can take any insult from anyone. But anyone insulting Cardo, I can’t hold myself each time that happens.
“Don’t call him foolish.”
“That means he was here to see you.” And he was laughing again. The whole crowd laughing with him. “Are you his little sister? How can that family produce such an idiot! How can he come to the school alone without a bodyguard, just him alone, does he have a death wish.”
Okay Carmen. We’re done playing nice. I was about to hit him when I heard a voice from the crowd.
“Let her go.” The voice was so deep and everyone seemed to be disappearing the moment they heard him speak and the moment the bully guy saw him, he dropped me to the floor and scrambled off.
Hm. I think this hunkie guy is really the boss of this school. Tsk. That’s impressive. I smirked looking at him from head to toe. He came towards me. “Hey.” His husky voice sounded in my ears before he picked off my bag from the floor and gave it to me.
“Are you okay?” He asked and I immediately remembered where I’ve met him before.
He’s Diego. Cardo’s cousin! I gasped and cupped my lips. “You remember me now?”he asked smiling.
“Gosh! What are you doing here?” I asked as he smiled at me. He’s one of Cardo’s cousin who is nice and looked so much like Cardo. The same face features, height, just a little difference when it comes to hugeness. Cardo is bigger and hairier than him.
Remembering him wasn’t so hard when I looked at his bushy eye brows. That’s what marvelled me when I ran into him at that family gathering.
“Did he hurt you?” He asked and I shook my head.
“He won’t dare.”
“I know. No one would dare hit you. You’re a boss of yourself.” He said as he nudged my shoulder.
We both laughed as we began to walk down to the class. “But what are you doing here? You didn’t tell me that you school here?”
“Tsk. This is one of the best college in the country, owned by your father and…” He shrugged. “It was funny when you didn’t recognize me at first.”
“I was angry, yunno.”
“I mean, that day at the cafeteria. I saw you.”
“But I didn’t know you back then.”
“And I do. Ricardo is so crazy for you. For the first time in my life since I know my big cousin Ricardo, I see him actually get angry at someone.”
“Really?” We were now heading towards another direction, far inside the large school building, going towards the coffee stand.
“Yes. He was raging when he showed up here that day. And then at the family gathering too, he had his eyes on you the whole time. And I watched him frown and get mad each time we talked to you so much or gave you a friendly look.”
I rolled my eyes. As if. When he annoys me every single time. “So, for how long have you been in this school?”
“Three years.”
I gasped. “Really? Three years. You’re almost done with school.”
“Yeah and then, the real battle will begin.”
We both laughed as he made me settle into a seat at the coffee stand. Then he went to get our orders and then he was back a few minutes later. “So, why are you getting married? Don’t you think you’re too young for that?” He asked as he sipped from his coffee.
I frowned at him. “Marrying is my business Diego.”
He smirked. “I mean, you are getting married so young into the Alejandrozz, with no skills, you’re not even done with school and you want to compete with the girls of that large family? Are you gonna survive the family feud?”
“Feud?”
“Yes. Don’t you know that there’s a silent feud going on in that family?”
“I don’t care as long as I get to be with Ricardo all the time.” I said and took a sip while he watched me just like Cardo does sometimes.
“Do you like him that much?”
I nodded my head without hesitating. “So much. Do you have a problem with that?”
“No. Just that you’re so young. Still in school. And yet, in three days time, you will be getting married to my brother.”
“And I asked you if you have a problem with that.”
He gave a small laugh. “Your eyes.”
“What?”
“I guess this is one of the reasons why Ricardo likes you so much.”
What’s he saying? “So if you get married to Ricardo, what next?”
Such a silly question. Now I think I’m in a question and answer interview. “If you’re done with your coffee, we can get going.” I snapped and he smiled.
As if there’s anything to smile about. “Do you think you can survive living with Ricardo?”
“Do you plan on killing me when I get into that family?”
He shrugged. “No. Why would I want to kill you.”
“Because you sound as if you want to.”
He smiled again. Tensing me up. “I like you.”he suddenly blurted and I nearly coughed out my drink.
What? “I like you too.” I found myself replying.
“No, I mean, I really really like you.”
“Okay.”
“Okay? That’s all you have to say.”
“What do you want me to say?”
“I want you to say, let’s date.”
I closed my eyes. My body was already telling me to hit him. Or maybe pour this drink on his head. For a moment, I thought he was different from the others but openly insulting Cardo with a straight face is really annoying.
“You mean, I should go on a date with you? I’m your brother’s wife.”
“I know.” He said and winked and then touched my hand which was on the table. And I swear, I was already blowing his head off in my mind. And he was already dead. No one to save him even as I was burying him 600 feet deep into the ground.
“Carmen.” He tapped me and jolted me back to my senses. “You seem lost.”
Why won’t I be lost. When you show up infront of me this morning, act like someone that have sense for a while and the next moment, you don’t have sense again.
Who won’t be lost! “Or you don’t think I can like you.”
And when did this stupid likeness start? As far as I’m concerned. I first met him on that family gathering and we had lots of talks on random things, though he joked a lot and I really liked him and the second time, is now!
So what’s he saying? Is he tryna play some tricks on me?
“I get it. You’re confused. You don’t have to bother about what I said, I just wanted to tell you now that you’re still not married. At least, I’m fine now that I’ve gotten this load off my chest.”
If only he’s not stupid. I began to sip my coffee trying to burn my anger but the hotness of the coffee isn’t making it work.
“Careful or you burn yourself.”
And watch your tongue. I might burn you instead!!
“I’m fine.” I said smiling calmly.
“So will you mind going on a date with me?”
“No.”
He smiled again. And I wish he’d stop smiling. It’s becoming too annoying. “Don’t you think you’re too blunt on a poor lover like me?”
I scoffed. Like I care. Poor lover my foot.
“It won’t kill you to have a date with your husband’s brother.”
“Can we stop talking now. I think I need to be in class at this moment.”
“Typical Carmen. So blunt all the time.” I rolled my eyes. “Ricardo is so lucky to have you as a wife.”
I was mute. A message popped into my phone and I checked it out:
LUCIA SPOTTED WALKING INTO THE ALEJANDROZZ COMPANY THIS AFTERNOON.
LUCIA SPOTTED WITH RICARDO KISSING.
Kissing?
“What’s wrong?? Are you okay?”
“Can we go on that date now?”
“Now? Where to?”
“The Alejandrozz company.”
“Just say you want to meet Ricardo.”
“Are you taking me or not?” I was already on my feet. My eyes on my phone, flipping through the messages. In as much as I worried about who sent these messages to me, I was crumbling inside of me.
LUCIA AND THE CEO LOOKS SO GOOD TOGETHER.
CAN THEY ANNOUNCE THEIR WEDDING ALREADY?
RICARDO SPOTTED TAKING LUCIA TO HER ACTING LOCATION: ARE THEY BACK TOGETHER.
Ricardo.
Lucia.
Hunh!! You’re both as good as dead.
And I guess I’m going to get married as a widow because I’m definitely going to kill someone today.
Diego touched my hand and squeezed it. “Can you calm down? I will take you to him.”
“You better do. You better do it now before I blow someone’s head off his shoulder!!!” I yelled.
Lucia. That witch! I guess she have recovered from the last beating.
And how dare Ricardo flirt around with his ex when our wedding is barely four days away?
After making my wedding dress too!!
I’m gonna kill someone and there’s no two ways about it.
Cardo you promised me!!
You promised me!!
You jerk!!!
TO BE CONTINUED…
