CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE
LUCIA’S POV
“Carmen invited me for dinner.” I said in a shaky voice while George’s jaw dropped.
“Carmen invited you for dinner? Why? So it’s true that she really want to start up a friendship with you?”
“That’s not it. She has a motive.” My body was shaking, her mischievous eyes towards me as she fed me earlier, almost made me want to throw up for the twentieth time today.
I can’t believe she would come all the way to my interview to come see me, just to torture me.
Carmen that I know is always aggressive and result to fighting in everything, at least that would’ve been pardonable and I would’ve played innocent to any accusations she raises on me. But this one, she came at me in a very slow manner.
Why? Why is she determined to torture me like this, using the press against me. The headlines have all been about her. Her brave act to make peace with her husband’s ex! What rubbish!!
“This doesn’t make any sense to me,” George said, shaking his head. “Why would she want to torture you like this? She knows that you love Ricardo and always out to get him. Why is she employing this tactics on you? Has she always been like this, or is this out of character for her?”
I took a deep breath, trying to control my emotions. “Carmen has always been a very fiery and unpredictable person,” I said. “But this is something else. I don’t know what she’s thinking or what her end goal is. I just want this to be over.”
George put his hand on my shoulder, a gesture of support.
“I can’t say I know what to do in this situation,” George said. “But I know one thing for sure – you need to stay strong and not let her get to you. Don’t let her control the narrative or manipulate you. You know the truth, and that’s what matters. Don’t let her get under your skin.”
I knew George was right. I had to stay strong and not let Carmen’s games get to me. I had to focus on the facts and not let her manipulate me with her mind games.
I poisoned her, yes, I agree to that but I won’t let her bring me down in this her stupid revenge plan.
“You’re right,” I said, feeling a little more in control of my emotions. “I can’t let her affect me like this. I need to stay focused. I’m going to keep my head held high and move forward. I’m not going to let her win.”
As I said these words, I felt a renewed sense of determination. I wasn’t going to let Carmen get the best of me. I was going to stay strong and fight for myself. I won’t let her bring me down, my career is the most essential thing in my life right now and I’m going to live a long time maintaining it. The worst thing that can happen to me right now is a scandal and I won’t let that happen. I won’t let her paint the truth to my face.
“Did you do anything to make her come after you with so much ferocity because I can sense fire in her eyes in the videos I saw of her.”
“Well..”I shrugged not ready to tell him the truth of what I did. He’s definitely going to judge for what I did. “Nothing serious, I haven’t even called Ricardo and spoken to him in a while and she suddenly want to have me for dinner.”
“This is serious.”
“Yeah.”
“Are you going over there?”
“Yes, that’s what she wants and I’m going to give her what she wants else the pressmen which are coming over to record our blahhhh friendship reunion will think I’m the bad egg between us two.”
“Wait, she even invited cameramen to record the meeting?”
I sighed. “Carmen might look small in your eyes but she’s not. She’s not a kid like we all thought.”
She’s something more than that. I wonder what her plan is when she asked for a dinner this evening. Is she trying to poison me or torture me with food?
I can’t tell but I will get through this. Not like she had evidence to prove that I poisoned her. So there’s nothing she can do to me.
Absolutely nothing…
UNKNOWN’S POV
Bernadette’s heels clicked on the floor as she started to come towards me. I watched her heavily endowed body sliding to every step she took and I was deeply reminded of why I started sleeping with her. Why I found her lovely and sëxy to have her in bed. Not any of my concubines or wives is as sëxy and hot as she is. She’s just everything anyone can want in a woman and I don’t regret any move I’ve been making since I met her.
I watched Bernadette approach, my heart racing. I couldn’t deny that she was a beautiful woman, and I had been attracted to her from the beginning. But I knew that this shouldn’t be my bother right now, there’s a pressing matter at stake and her dumb head have failed to put things together and in the right place.
“Hello, Mr. Lucas,” Bernadette said, her voice smooth and alluring. “I’m glad to see you again.”
I scoffed. I h@tëd the sound of her voice at this crucial moment. She can’t play with my loins in this sort of situation. I kicked the chair and she shivered, her smile disappeared from her face immediately.
“You’re glad to see me again, you say?!”
A long pause. “I’m trying all I can to get everything in place. I’m trying to do everything__”
“And that’s why you got invited for dinner by Carmen. What were you doing all these time to get invited by that brat!! Shouldn’t the brat be dead? Or moreso, shouldn’t she be feeling threatened by now and yet, she’s spreading her wings higher. She’s all over the news Bernadette!!!” I yelled dangerously at her.
Bernadette’s eyes widened in fear, and she took a step back. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she stammered. “I wasn’t invited for dinner by Carmen. She only did that with Lucia. You must be mistaken.”
I could tell she was lying. Her voice was shaky, and her eyes betrayed her. I knew she was up to something, and I wasn’t going to let her get away with it. “Don’t play dumb with me, Bernadette,” I said, my voice low and threatening.
Bernadette swallowed hard, her Adam’s apple bobbing up and down. “I’m not playing dumb,” she said, her voice quavering. “Ok, I got invited by her but that doesn’t mean I will grace her home for the dinner.”
“And why won’t you go out for the dinner when you’re already invited? You want her to suspect you?”
I studied her face carefully, trying to decide on what she’s thinking.
“I will handle Carmen in my own way but it’s not going to involve going to her house for dinner. We’re not that close.”
“Don’t you see that so many are involved in this!! She called on social medias, bloggers, pressmen, cameramen to record this blissful occasion!”
“What if she’s thinking of poisoning me! Because I think that’s what she’s out for? And she can do it, Carmen I know is that dangerous.”
“Don’t tell me you’re afraid of one little child!”
“I’m not afraid of her but in the face of all, the whole world which will watch this evening like a show is not something to play with. Carmen is determined to bring everyone down.”
I stood up from my seat, I’m done hearing about Carmen in just one afternoon. ” Then what are you going to do?”
I gave out a long sigh. “If I’m going there, I’m not going alone, I will come along with a food taster.”
“Aren’t you displaying the dumb attitude inside you?” Bernadette can draw my attention in all angle but her level of thinking always puts me off. How can she think of taking a food taster to the dinner when she clearly knows that everyone will suspect her? That’s why I h@të Carmen so much, because she’s so smart. Very smart to my liking. Carmen knows why she called for this party and this dumb Bernadette is making things easier for her by volunteering to get herself caught.
How about I push her into her doom? I think I’m done with Bernadette, she will never get things done if I ever want her. How about I use Carmen instead, she’s close to Ricardo and the apple of his eyes, I can get Ricardo much easier if it’s Carmen working for me.
“You know what Bernadette, I think I like your plan.”
She smiled sheepishly. “Really?”
“Yes, but first, can you arrange a meeting between Carmen and I?”
She frowned immediately. “What? Why? How? That’s not going to be possible.”
“Then create a situation which will make it possible for her to meet me.”
“But__”
“There’s a boy called Edgar in her life, he can be useful to you. I’ve had my boys around him for a while now.” I snapped my hands and one of my security guard walked in with a brown envelope, “here!” I tossed it to her. “That’s the pictures of Edgar and Carmen, you can put them into use.”
She went through the pictures. I know her dumb head won’t let her set this job straight. “You can post them, have someone tail the two of them__ why am I telling you everything? You can kidnap him! Just do something! Create a situation that will make Carmen get to me!! Did you get that?”
“Yes sir.”
“Don’t get this wrong else I will pin everything on you and make your life miserable.”
“Sure…” She was trembling and that got me smirking. A dumb easy @$$ woman. “Come over here,” I beckoned while she looked up and our eyes met each other.
She hesitated for a moment, and I could see the wheels turning in her head. But then she stood up and made her way towards me. As she got closer, I could see the fear in her eyes. I touched her face and that seemed to calm her nerves. I held her jaw and brought down my face to kiss her.
“Bernadette, tu quieres esto, verdad? (you want me right?)” I could see the confusion on her face, and I knew I had to make things clear. “Lo siento, (I’m sorry)” I said, my voice low and apologetic. “I always forget that I’m not supposed to treat you so harshly.”
She began to warm up to me. “Gracias. (It’s fine.) We’re doing it to achieve a goal and we’re almost there. We want to create a world where we will be accepted for who we’re and we’re almost there.”
And I kissed her, my hand circling around the small of her back, I kissed deeply on her lips, softening every part of her and getting her ready to accept me into her.

EDGAR’S POV
“Why are you coming home this late in the night?” My father confronted me as I walked into the house and attempted walking past him without a word.
I stopped briefly but continued afterwards but he stopped me again with his words. “Edgar I’m talking you or have you finally gone deaf!”
“Father! Can you learn to leave me alone just like Carmen did leave me?”I bursted out without thinking of what I’m saying. I didn’t mean to let it out just like that but for the past few weeks, Carmen have never bothered to call me. I get it, she’s a married woman but aren’t we friends. Aren’t we supposed to check on each other. I’ve called her severally but she is never taking my calls.
Why? Does she love her husband so much to the extent of letting go of her friends. She’s not even coming to school anymore. Or did Mr. Ricardo tell her to stop talking to me. Is he controlling her that much? Is she suffering and needs someone to rescue her but no one is coming to her aid?
Why is she making me worry so much about her. I can’t sleep so well these days because I’m worried about Carmen. Her cold silence towards me is choking. It’s making me run mad and my friends are not helping matters at all.
Then I saw her in the news this morning, she’s trying to make peace with Lucia, her husband’s ex. Why would she make peace with Lucia? Is she troubled? Did Ricardo threaten her? Are they making life miserable for her in that suffocating household? Anger won’t let me breathe especially the malicious comments about her all over social media.
How is she breathing everyday, it seems like Ricardo wants to use any means to end her life and then be with Lucia afterwards, after he might have inherited everything from Mr. Sebastian.
That crook! I won’t let her kill off Carmen that easily.
How can he be so brazen? Manipulating Carmen in any way he wanted just for his own selfish gain. They’re having a dinner tonight, why? So they can sideline her afterwards?
Carmen.
“I see why you’re stressed.”my father spoke after observing me for a while.
“I’m deeply stressed father, I don’t know what’s wrong with Carmen, I can’t reach up to her and she can’t reach up to me either.” I replied hating myself for showing this side of me to my father.
He beckoned to me to come to him which I did, I sat down beside him and he turned to look at me. “Carmen is not fine.”
“What do you mean by she’s not fine?”
“Carmen was poisoned weeks ago and she’s still recuperating.”
“What?”
Carmen poisoned!!! Why? “Dad, why? Who did that to her? Is it Ricardo? To get her out of the way?” I don’t understand? Is the h@të running so deep in that family that they had to take her out in such a painful manner? Why?! Why would they want to hurt the only person who makes my heart feel at ease?
“Can you calm down Edgar before you start getting angry and overreacting?”
“I’m overreacting?” I stood up abruptly, I’m going over to her house, right this minute. How can they have a dinner with her after poisoning her! Oh Carmen! How have you been coping without me? How have you been living with a beast who wants to kill you with every strength he can muster?!
“I can’t let her alone to continue suffering.”
“Where are you going?”
“To Carmen’s place.”
“Come back!!! Edgar!!”
CARMEN’S POV
“Carmen, this is not a good idea, having a dinner with Lucia and my sister? That’s a bad idea.” Cardo whined again in my ears as I continued setting the table for the dinner.
“Carmen, are you even listening to me?” I ignored him as I beckoned to the maids to help with setting and decorating the dinning room. The cameramen and pressmen have been setting up the room with their cameras and Stephen have been helping them out with questions and things they needed to know about Mr. and Mrs. Ricardo’s household.
All I needed now since everything is almost done is the arrival of Bernadette and Lucia to my house. I think that’s when the game will begin. He held my hand and stopped me, making me to look up to his face. “Carmen, stop acting strong and doing this.”
“Cardo, I’m going to do this my own way. I won’t let anyone trample on me like they want. I’m going to__” and the door opened to usher in Lucia with her bodyguard following closely behind.
Cardo’s hand tightened around my wrist immediately as we both welcomed Lucia with a cheerful smile.
“Welcome to my home Lucia.” I said and went to her for a hearty hug, I could see the tremor in her eyes when I stared into them. As if she wanted to escape from this but she has no choice but to face me.
I loved the gaze, it made me feel rest assured that I’m the leader in this game. “Thank you for inviting me here.” The cameramen were taking good shots of us. I know by now, we’re live on social media.
A good hand.
“Hey Ricardo,” she waved and offered him a hand while Cardo ignored her, battling her with his eyes.
“Oh, Cardo is not in a good mood right now, so don’t mind his unwelcome attitude. He can be grumpy sometimes, a grumpy big baby.” I slapped his butt playfully but he knew that it’s a warning sign to be friendly and not let her notice anything.
He heaved and walked out on us. “Is he okay?” She asked me as I offered her a seat over the dinner table.
“Well, you know Cardo can tend to be babyish sometimes. Especially when something is bothering him. Don’t worry, he will come around.” I said winking at her while she smiled nervously.
Few minutes later, Bernadette was ushered in with some girl whom I don’t know of, but they were both smiling so cheerfully towards me.
“Oh my God! Sister-in-law, I didn’t know you were going to make it.” I greeted her when she came close, anger burning in my depth. I wanted to keep it together by all means, I won’t let her see through my plans.
Cardo came out of the room and stood behind me immediately, like my shield, maybe I can fall back on him if anything was to go wrong. “Hey sis.” He said coldly as they exchanged cold glances at each other.
“Cardo, why don’t you ask the maids to bring out the food, we’re complete and ready for dinner.” I said while he looked at me with so much anger in his eyes.
Like he h@tëd to see me do this, he won’t want me to get hurt in my own house. This is the only place I’m free of hurt but I had to invite hurt to my own house.
But I can’t continue running away from my problems. You face them, deal with them and get over them. And that’s what I’m doing, revenge, I will put everyone in the places they’re supposed to belong, for the sake of my unborn kids. I can’t be threatened all the time, if I don’t do this, next time, they might threaten me with Cardo’s life or maybe my child’s and not after trying to take my child’s life once.
I have to protect my family, my father, my husband and my baby!
“Cardo I’m fine.” I whispered quietly and he heaved. I know he wasn’t still at rest. I had to push him away slightly to make him leave and do what I asked him to do.
I invited Bernadette and her assistant to the table. “You came with an assistant.” I said as the young girl sat down.
Lucia greeted Bernadette, not in a warm way like they used to. They greeted as if they are at loggerheads and trying to be friendly in order not to look sad infront of the camera.
Which meant that something fishy is going on between them. I think I’m beginning to love this play I’m directing. “Yeah, I came with an assistant to help me around, you know, maybe with tasting the food.”
“Tasting the food?” An interviewer who was nearby threw a question at her, just like I wanted someone to. “Why would you need to taste your food? Are you saying that Carmen might have poisoned the meal?” The man was so blunt and I liked it.
I acted shocked to hear such words from Bernadette and I’m so sure that social media is swarming with questions like:
WHY WOULD BERNADETTE NEED HER FOOD TASTED
CARMEN IS PURE TOWARDS GER SISTER-IN-LAW BUT SHE’S BENT ON CONDEMNING THE LITTLE GIRL
“Sister in law, I don’t have any reason to poison your meal, why would you think that? Do you have a history with poison or something?” I asked and I know she could see the devilish gaze in my eyes.
“So this wasn’t for a meal after all.” Bernadette blurted. “Are you going to accuse the whole family because someone poisoned you on your own carelessness!”
Bernadette is such a fool!
“Poisoned? Was I ever poisoned by anyone? Hm, Lucia? Are you even listening to my sister-in-law, your friend?” I asked trying to corner the two of them at the same time.
Cardo came in with the food just at that moment, the maids began to serve while he sat next to me, grabbed my hand under the table and interlocked our fingers into each other.
“Uh… Bernadette, why would you say something like that about your own brother’s wife? Carmen means well and you even have to come into this place with someone who’s gonna taste your food? Are you trying to say that Carmen is a bad person? Why do you think she will poison you?”
“Lucia! How dare you speak to me, as if you’re saint! You were driven by jealousy and you tried all you can to harm Carmen, didn’t you?”
I love this game!!! I love seeing this heated argument between the two of them. Am I the one fighting them now?
They’re fighting themselves!
Lucia stood up angrily, “Keep quiet Bernadette!! You’re the worst sister anyone can ever keep around himself!”
“What did you just say? You killer!!”
“It’s okay, let’s all sit and eat our meal. You can’t come to my house, accuse me and then fight in my house.” I said softly and they all turned to look at me, before they sat back to their seats, fuming and making the whole dinning table appear tensed.
I’m so happy.
I’ve given the social media a good news to feed on till the next three months. Imagine a hot news about the hottest Spanish actress and also someone like Bernadette Alejandro, and then me, that will be the hottest news one will ever want to hear. And I’m feeding it to them live, like a reality TV show, won’t they be so happy? I bet their rates will be so high on charts from now till the next three months.
“Let’s dig in.” I said as the food was finally served to all of us.
Both of them began to stare at their foods.
“Aren’t you going to eat Miss Lucia?” One of the pressmen asked.
“Why not?” She hurriedly took up her spoon and began to eat.
“Bernadette…” Cardo called while she still held her spoon, unable to touch the bowl of soup with her spoon. “I don’t think I can eat this. Here.” She gave the spoon to the girl sitting beside her. “Eat it first.”
An uproar rose among the cameramen and pressmen around, flashes of lights increased, murmurs among them.
Bernadette doesn’t know that I’m determined to paint her as a bad Bîtch tonight? She won’t escape me.
She can never! I will make sure Lucia and Bernadette’s names are painted in the mud.
“Sis, what are you doing? My wife suffered to cook for you and all you could do is get a food taster to do what? Are you saying Carmen served you food without good intentions.”
“Yes! She served me without good intentions!”
“And why do you think so sister-in-law?” I asked sitting up on my chair.
“Because you were recently poisoned, you slept in the hospital for several days because of that and I’m so sure that all this you’re doing is for revenge! I did not poison you and you have no rights to use this trick on me, stop threatening me!”
“Do you feel threatened?” Another pressmen asked.
Bernadette is unaware of the fact that anything she’s saying is implicating her.
“I’m not!”
“Then why are you so nervous, you’re perspirating.” The pressman said further, capturing her face very clearly.
“I’m not.”
“Why are you insisting on the fact that she was poisoned when Mrs. Ricardo made no mention of it, so why are you hellbent on painting that out to us?”
“Because__”
The door suddenly opened and Edgar stormed into the room…
