CHAPTER FORTY NINE
CARMEN’S POV
“Cardo,” I repeated before he replied me. “Go and have a bath, by the time you get out, your delicious stew is waiting for you” I said winking but he’s still not moving.
“Or you want to eat before you bath?”
“Do you think eating this food is a good idea?”
“And why is it not a good idea?” I asked frowning, the look on his face as he kept looking into my pot of soup wasn’t pleasant. “You think I can’t cook?” I asked and he began to shake his head frantically.
“No, I didn’t say that.”
“Then why are you looking at me like that, as if I’m gonna poison you.”
“No, I never thought of that.”
“Then get upstairs and wash, come back and I will serve you.”
“Can I at least taste it?” He requested but I didn’t let him.
“No, you’re going to taste it later.” I began to push him away. “Start leaving. The woman of the house is in the kitchen today.” And sluggishly, he strolled out of the room.
I finished cooking, the maids helped me to serve the food on the dinning table, everything was in place. And soon, he was downstairs looking so refreshed and how thrilling it was. This is actually the first time I’m spending my whole day with him without calls coming in and out of his phone. I just pray his secretaries won’t start with their madness. Maybe they have a lot of work to deal with right now, otherwise, they would’ve been phoning his line twenty four times in an hour.
“Sit.” I offered him a seat and he sat down. I began to serve his meal with a smile all over my face.
“Are you sure you did a good job cooking?”
“Just have a bite. If it’s not nice, I’ve ordered pizza.” I replied smiling.
“You ordered pizza?”
“Yes.”
“And don’t you think you should’ve done that in the first place instead of cooking?”
I frowned. I dropped the spoon looking at him. What is he trying to insinuate? That I can’t cook?
“What are you trying to say? That I’m bad at cooking, you rather paint me as a bad wife than eat my food?”
“No, that’s not what I mean Carmen, I’m just saying.”
“Are you going to eat or not?” I asked and he was mute, transfering his gaze from the plate to my face. “Fine! Since you rather eat something else than my meal, let’s eat pizza.” I said and immediately, he picked up the spoon and began to eat hurriedly.
I smiled watching him eat. How can he not love my meal. I took great time cooking it, let’s just say all morning, I’ve been exhausting myself in the kitchen and I would’ve been so angry if he didn’t check out my meal.
“How is the food?” I asked as he took a glass of water and drank from it.
He looked up to my face. “You mean the food?” He asked while I nodded. He roamed his eyes all over me smirking. Maybe it’s because of my negligee which I intentionally wore to seduce and get his eyes on me all the time and it’s working. He can’t stop staring at me. “You know,” then he pulled me into his skin, I sat down on his laps with his hands wrapped around my waist. “You know, you’re the best food someone can eat in the morning.”
The warmth of his skin against mine made my whole body tingle with excitement. My heart pounded greatly in my chest. His arms held me close, and I could feel his breath on my neck. I was overwhelmed with the sensations of being so close to him, and I could barely breathe. The feeling I loved having around him all the time I’m close with him.
“It’s not the food that is the problem, it’s you. Me estás volviendo loco/a. (You’re driving me crazy.)” He said, his lips brushing against my neck. I laughed and tried to push him away, but he held me tighter and kissed me even more intensely. I couldn’t help but let out a small Mõ@n.
“Cardo, stop.”
“Why should I?”
“You don’t have to do this in the morning.”
His brows raised up. “Hmm, you don’t want me to do it in the morning but you were all over me yesternight. Weren’t you?”
My cheeks flushed immediately. “That’s because__” my cheeks got redder, not when I’m under his gaze, his selfish and mischievous gaze.
“That’s because of what?” His hand grazed my shoulder while I shook terribly. “You don’t want me to do it to you today? Imagine us staying all day by ourselves doing nothing? It’s not going to be possible. We need to do something fun.” His breathe was on my skin, my cleavage was almost breathing fire.
Our door bell rang. “Yes, come in.” He shouted not letting me get up from his lap, he slided his arm into my thighs and I stiffened a Mõ@n. I didn’t know Cardo to be someone like this. So naughty.
One of his personal security guard walked into the room and bowed before him. He removed his eyes from us before speaking.
“Sir, they are insisting on a quick interview with you.”
“They can’t have an interview with me. I want them to leave my house.” The guard nodded, “have you heard from Griffin.”
“Yes sir.”
“What did he say and how come you have not said anything about it.”
“I thought he was going to call you sir.”
“And you know that I can’t take calls now because of excessive disturbances and that’s why I told you to report back to me on any happenings around the office and outside the world.”
“I’m sorry sir.”
“So what’s going on? What did he say?”
“He said that we need Miss Carmen in the company.”
We both looked at each other. “He needs Miss Carmen in the company?”
“It’s no longer a secret all over the world that Miss Carmen is your wife. And she caused a scene yesterday at the conference.”
“And why would he need her?” He had sat me down on a chair and already standing. His hands on his waist. “Can you put me on call with my secretary?” He said as he stretched out his hand to his guard who was already contacting his secretary for him.
“Yes hello, why do you need Miss Carmen in the company?” He sighed, “You can’t need Carmen in the company? Why?” He was pacing around the room barely looking at my face. Hearing him trying to defend me with everything inside of him was a thrilling feeling. Getting so worked up because of me was also sweet. Can I ever stop thanking my stars for giving Cardo to me?
A man as tall like him, as handsome as him, as sweet as him, I mean, look at him combing his hair with his long fingers, the same fingers he always use on my body, he use them to keep me insane and that’s the same fingers he’s digging into his hair, the same fingers he’s using to hold his phone. My Cardo.
“Look, listen, I can’t risk her into the company. I mean, why?”
I stood up and went close to him. “Let me speak to him.” I told Cardo and he hesitated before giving the phone to me.
“Yes hello Mr. Griffin.”
“Yes, Miss Carmen.”
“What do you want me for?”
“I’m trying to tell Mr. Ricardo that it’s more beneficial to the company if you make a grand appearance into the company, the stock of the company sky rocketed since your conference and the fight you caused yesterday, and it’s more important now that everyone wants to see you, to explain why you have such a temper and__”
“You don’t have to explain anymore. Alejandrozz is my company too and Cardo is my husband and I can’t let anyone trample on him just because he married me. So I’m coming.”
“No!” Cardo shut me out immediately and grabbed the phone. “No, I can’t expose you to that sort of life, it’s suffocating. It’s different being out there than facing my family and fighting your way out.”
“And you think I won’t do a good job?”
“I__”
“Cardo, I know you ate that food because you love me and you don’t want me to get hurt. I know it doesn’t taste good but you ate it to make me feel better, am I wrong?” He was silent. “That’s why you couldn’t answer me when I asked about the food. It’s because you love me and this time__” I held his waist. “Have me protect you.”
“Protect me? Isn’t that ridiculous? I can’t let you out there into the world. It’s dangerous. So many things you’re going to face. Many commercials you’re going to face. They will need you to model products as the first lady of the company.”
“And you trust that I won’t do a good job?”
“I know you will.”
“Then let me help you.”
“Carmen__”
“Please Cardo, I’m tired of hiding behind you. I’m not a child and I know what I want. And I want to be out there, I know going to school will be so hard for me from now on but I’m not entirely daft.”
“If you go out there in the world. You won’t be able to gamble in peace. You won’t run around as you please. You won’t do anything that you always wanted to do. You will be trapped in a world of affluence and business where everything matters. The way you cough, the way you breathe and even the way you eat. You always have to be in shape to escape scandals. You__”
“And what if I do things my own way? The Carmen way is always safer.”
“You don’t fight Carmen.”
“And what if I do?”
“You can’t, and that’s what I’m trying to tell you.”
“Cardo, you’re letting everyone rule you. You’re letting them speak your voice. You’re the CEO doesn’t make you a slave. You’re like an Alpha leading a pack of wolves, you make the rules! And they follow whether they like it or not, they don’t tell you how to breathe or how to yawn, you teach them your own way, Cardo, you can’t hide here forever. Okay? Let’s go out there and face the problems we created. When I asked my father yesterday for a press conference, I know what I was signing up for, I’m going to finally throwing some part of my life away and taking on a new one. I’m fine with it and I’m going to be fine.”
“Carmen.” He held me close, his hands came to my face, his eyes into mine. “I don’t want to put you out there in the world. I want to protect you just like my father did to my mother.”
“And you think your mother is so happy with that development. Don’t you think your mother has a lot to say but chose to keep quiet since she was silenced for several years.”
“She’s was not silenced.”
“She was. I need to find my voice. I have to. I can’t let anyone shut me out. I want to speak for myself. Your mother would’ve done better than keeping quiet all the time but, since that’s what your father wanted, she let it be and I can’t let it be. Because if I do, things will be more disastrous. Can’t you see how everyone is turning on you? Your family, your sisters? Everyone!! And you want me to be silent, not to face my problems and let you stomach everything all in the name of saving my @$$?”
“What do you want me to do? Put you out there and watch you struggle all the time in the name of business? Any harm that can come to you because of that company, then I rather resign and give it up than put you in danger.”
“No harm will come to me because I have you. You will not let anything happen to me.”
“Babe.”he said, his voice a gentle caress. “You know that I’m head over heels for you, right?”
I looked up to his face and his eyes, my heart fluttering at his words. “Of course I do,” I whispered, as he pulled me close. His touch was like a balm, soothing away all of the stress.
“You’re the only one I want by my side, now and always.” And he kissed me deeply. “I will do wh@tëver you want but promise me.”
“Don’t ask me not to fight because I will. Fighting is an addiction, it’s faster to correct nonsense than doing it the calm way.”
He sighed and poked my nose. His hands were at the small of my back. “Do you know that you’re one hell of a stubborn little being?”
“But you love me, don’t you?”
“I have no choice but to. Not when my heart don’t listen to me when it comes to you.”
I giggled deeply. “Then make it listen to you.”
“Carmen, what if we go to the other room.” He said pulling at my negligee, peeping through, I stepped away from him.
“No, I need to go to the company.”
“You will visit the company, but now, don’t you think your husband’s health is more important?”
“Are you sick?”
“Yes, sick in the heart. I want you baby girl.”
This insatiable monster.
“No.” I refused in pretence as I led the way to the room.
“You have no rights to refuse your husband.”
“And who made the rule?”
“I did.”
“But that’s not Carmen way.”
“I get it, come here baby.” And I ran into his arms while he lifted me up and headed towards our room and to the bed.

UNKNOWN’S POV
The smokes from a pipe filled the room. The room was dark, if not for the little sun rays filtering through the curtains, one could almost not see anything in the room.
But still, I was inside the room, smoking my pipe with my legs on the table, tapping and watching my well polished Alejandrozz designer shoe. A glass of rum in my hand as I tried to piece things together. What went wrong. What card did I play wrong and why the Fuçk is everything backfiring on me.
My door slowly opened and Bernadette walked in cowering down his head. “Yes??”
“Uncle.”
“Uncle?? I’ve told you not to call me that again, haven’t I?” I said calmly but dangerously. By now, she should’ve known the outcome of every utterance I make. She knows that I don’t make empty threats.
“I’m sorry it’s just…”
“What happened yesternight?” I proceeded since what she’s trying to say isn’t my line of interest.
“I tried to corner him. ”
“And what happened?”
“His wife intervened.”
I laughed. A dead anger seeping through my veins at each crack of laughter I made. I tossed the glass to her face and she dodged it, it landed on the behind her and crashed to the floor leaving her in panic.
“Repeat what you just told me.”
“Carmen is not someone to deal with so easily.” She said fretting as if it’s my business.
“Don’t tell me that that frail looking girl is the one you’re referring to as if she’s one big being in this life? What happened to the boys I sent to help you with drugging or poisoning her? What happened to using Lucia to get her?”
“Cardo will point his fingers at me if anything were to happen to Carmen.”
“Don’t tell me you’re afraid of Cardo, your own younger brother!!!” I sprang up from my chair and came close to her and her shaking increased, her gaze fell to the floor.
“Bernadette, why are you so useless to me? First, I told you to make it possible to be the heir to that company which you failed, I impregnated you in order to give much rights to your father’s company since all it needed was a boy but what did you give me? A stupid young brat which you call a daughter and then what? You can’t even corner your brother and you can’t even eliminate one stupid little girl who doesn’t know when to back down?”
“Carmen is Mr. Sebastian’s daughter and he won’t just sit back and watch if anything were to happen to his daughter.”
I raised my hand to hit her but her beautiful face and eyes won’t let me. One of my rules is that I don’t hit women. I speak softly to them and lure them to do anything for me.
I touched her arms and made her lift her face to look at me. “Bernadette,” I called softly. “I gave you Lucia, what is she doing if not to do your bidding, you both share the same enemy and you can exploit her as you want and no matter what happens, they can always push the blame to her dear.” I caressed her face and kissed her neck.
She squirmed. “Bernadette, love, you know we’re always so fond of each other and we’ve always helped each other. You need to clip Cardo’s wings and that’s by shutting out the life of Carmen.”
“Carmen__” I hushed her.
“Then frighten her, make her have this fear of everyone around her. Threaten the two of them, Carmen with Cardo and Cardo with Carmen.” I laughed. “I love this kind of plot twist Bernadette, you know I love when things are getting interesting right?”
“I will do as you want.”
“That’s my dear. I want to get Alejandrozz in the palm of my hands. And you must do anything to get it for me. That’s what we do for love right?”
She nodded nervously while I smiled lovely at her.
“I love you baby.”
“I__love you too.” She mumbled.
