CHAPTER FORTY ONE
EDGAR’S POV
Carmen is married? I don’t get that. How is she married? At her age? No hold on, she can’t tell me__she’s the Alejandrozz wife!!! Why didn’t she ever tell me? Even when she heard me talking about him. Though, I didn’t talk bad about him, she should’ve told me that she’s married to him!
But how come. I’m confused. How is she married to the Alejandrozz? When? No one knows about this?
And why is he exalting so much domineering attitude towards her? Why? I’m so confused right now.
I thought she was a girl from a rich home who was born out of wedlock and no one wants her since she’s adding to the assets of the home.
And I had no idea that she’s the CEO’S wife?! That still doesn’t sit right with me? I want to get it.
But he was looking at me. Like I should steer clear off her. Never come too close. His words and his peck on her cheeks said it all. Even as I wallowed in my pit of confusion, he wants to make me take this with me;
*THAT CARMEN IS HIS. NO TOUCHING. STOP COMING CLOSE TO MY WIFE! EVERY BIT OF HER BELONGS TO ME. EVEN HER HAIR AND THE SAND SHE MATCHES ON. DON’T LOOK TOO MUCH OR I’M GONNA CRUSH YOU* I heaved.
But how? Then who is she? I can’t believe that I’ve been friends with her for almost a week and I don’t even know the basic things about her. To be put, I’m the one who concluded that she came from a problematic home and she just led me on.
Why?
He hurried off into his car when students began to gather, cameras clicking here and there, parapazzi from nowhere whooped into the scene. That’s when he drove away not without promising to pick her up from school by himself.
Still in shock, I turned to look at her. “Carmen.”
And she smiled nervously rubbing her neck. “Uh__I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you.” She said and walked off while I followed her.
“You couldn’t tell me. Why?”
“Because you won’t believe me.”
And I don’t. How is she married to him? How did they meet? How did he happen to meet her before me? What if he’s using her?
“I would’ve believed you if you explained nicely.” I insisted feeling slightly hurt. Being kept in the dark isn’t something to joke about. Not when I was already developing feelings for her.
Not when I…I swallowed hard. She turned to look at me. “What if I tell you that I’m Mr. Sebastian’s daughter? Will you believe me?”
My jaw dropped. She was serious and I prayed she wasn’t. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.
If only she’s pulling my legs, but she wasn’t. She’s Mr. Sebastian’s daughter!!
The f-__-k!
And I was busy all along bragging to her about my father being the fourth secretary__shit!! I’m such a $cvm! She’s Sebastian’s daughter?!
“See? You’re so shocked that you can’t even speak. I will talk to you later, I have a film class right now. Hit you up at lunch.” She said smiling, patted my shoulder and then left.
CARMEN’S POV
What in the hell is wrong with Cardo!!!! What came over him?
I disappeared into the restroom when I left Edgar and closed the door, rested my back on it breathing heavily. I can’t feel my heart. It have been beating so extremely fast since Cardo pecked me. With the eyes that spoke so much of how MINE I am to him.
I looked at myself in the mirror, my cheeks were all red. I felt my cheeks.
“Thank you for taking care of my wife Edgar.” The deep voice repeated in my head giving me goose pimples and making my legs grow limp.
His finger poking my ribs earlier as he struggled to hold me with all his might still make my body vibrate.
What’s wrong with him? He have been acting so indifferently towards me for the past five days now. He barely looks at me. He comes home late and exhausted.
Like I don’t even exist in his life. And on my side, I didn’t want to bother him because I know how he have been battling with his family, Juan and Fernando on his throat, trying all their might to make a fool of him in every way they can.
His sisters not giving him any breathing space either, his father always travelling, he’s the only person helping him out.
So bothering him or causing problems was really out of the picture. I didn’t want him to look at me with anger again and send me out of his sight like he did last time.
I just let him be. At least, he let me hang out as I want with my friends especially Edgar. So nothing to lose as long as he still sends money into my account and I spend money as I want.
But I still felt a little bitter because he haven’t kissed me in a while. Apart from the early morning pecks which is not even more than that before he hurries out of his room with his new secretary, Mando, carrying his brief case and his bodyguards following him, he gives me nothing else, not even a kiss.
What did he do after firing Tony? He got me one grumpy secretary called Stephen, I h@ťě to see his face every day. He restricts most of my movements.
“No ma’am. Mr. Ricardo didn’t instruct me to let you out on the streets as you want.”
“Tell him that I’m going with Edgar.”
“No ma’am. I don’t want to lose my job.”
And that’s it! He don’t want to lose his job! Don’t he know that I can fire him and Cardo won’t do anything about it?
Ohkay, Cardo will___but not much. Maybe get angry at me and that’s all. __ his anger?? So scary, ohkay, I can’t fire him but can’t he be a little nicer to me?
I h@ťě him so much.
I can’t wait for Cardo to fire him. He have been pissing me off. The last time, he turned into my food taster; “I need to be testing your every meal ma’am. That’s the instruction.” He almost embarrassed me infront of Edgar who didn’t read so much meaning into it, he probably still think that I’m a pitiful kid.
“Your father must really care about you. Your bodyguard even taste your food.”Edgar once asked laughing.
And hell yeah! He tastes my food. Someday, he will invigilate me while I’m taking a bath. What rubbish!
Okay, that aside, this morning, Cardo was utterly different, angry and disturbed. Why? I can’t tell. And when I asked. He didn’t want to tell me. Tsk. I continued dressing up until he suddenly requested to take me to school himself.
I was shocked. Cardo haven’t been caring about me for a while now. It’s only work, work and work. And I’m getting used to that kind of life. I don’t want to be a cry baby just like I used to be before.
Not when there’s Edgar to have fun with. I can sneak into towns, eat street foods and drink with him, go to clubs and parties, vibing. Sorry, I’d go to school too and they’re all fun. So I don’t need to bother much about Cardo’s attitude towards me.
And when he said he will take me to school, I was confused and it all became clear to me when he stood infront of Edgar as if he wanted to eat him up.
And then he grabbed me, pecked me, making my whole body tingle!!! I gripped my shoulders.
Cardo is soooo sweeeeet!!! Can I even love him less in my life?
But hold on, why did he have to do that infront of Edgar?
I brought out my phone and dialed his number.
“Yes Baby.”
Baby? My cheeks and heart burned immediately. He’s calling me baby? I checked my phone over and over again, maybe I didn’t hear that right.
Why is he calling me baby all of a sudden. It was always Carmen or nothing. That idiot! No, he’s my prince charming.
“Baby?” I leaned at the door. I was hearing banging from outside to open the door but why will I? Not when I’m talking to my prince charming. Do they know what it means to be married to a CEO?
I bet they don’t know. “Yes, you’re my baby.”
“Why?”
“You’re asking me why?” He was chuckling. Unlike him. Why? Did something happen to him in his sleep? Why is he taking my breathe away all of a sudden? I think my Cardo is coming back to me bit by bit but I can’t be so sure.
“Yes. You just took me to school and displayed that_”
“That??”
“Yes you pecked me!”
“Can’t I peck you? It would’ve been a kiss but I remembered that you’re in school. You won’t be able to concentrate in class if I do that.”
And how will I concentrate even though he pecked me? Oh jeez! My heart wanted to burst out.
“Cardo are you okay? Why?”
“So I can’t even peck my wife?”
“You can but__”
“How about a date tonight?”
A date?? Cardo wants a date with me tonight? Why? Why is he so sweet? Is he okay?
“I have a surprise for you baby. I’m gonna pick you up and turn you into a Barbie tonight for our date.”
“All of a sudden?”
“What? Is that wrong?”
I was stuttering. My heart was shaking. When Cardo starts acting like this, what am I supposed to do!!! I wanted to scream but I was shut up by a voice outside:
“Open this door Ɓîtçh!!”
“And shut the f-__-k up and get a rich husband mole!!!” I yelled back. Cardo was laughing from the other end.
“That’s my Carmen. See you later!” He hung up.
I wished I recorded the whole call. His sweet voice? What made him act this way? Did he see something in his dream? Is he okay? I was worried for ten seconds cuz I was smiling the next minute.
I opened the door and the angry eyes I saw staring at me jolted me back to reality.
“What have you been doing in there witch?”
“I__” I wanted to talk back but Cardo’s voice filtered into my ears one more time, making me smile with joy as I walked past them.
Anyone can curse at me today and I won’t get angry. Match my feet, I won’t get angry at you. Why would I, when my day is so blessed. I’ve always been blessed actually.
Inside the film class, all I see infront of me was Cardo. His voice repeating in my head. BABY. So deep. I can almost imagine his yellow eyes looking so romantic and seductive as he curved out that word.
When is he coming to pick me? Can’t he come sooner? I want to meet him. Like now!! I want him to repeat the word BABY again.
My Cardo. You just know how to ki|| me in many ways. Just as I was getting used to your recent attitude towards me, you gave me a new you. Awwwn, Cardo.
But does it mean we might do it tonight! Oh my God! I cupped my lips in awe. I was wriggling my toes in joy.
Cardo baby. Really? Are you gonna do it with me?
Come on, I don’t have to be shy about it.
“Are you okay?” My seatmate asked me nudging my shoulder and I looked up to his face and nodded.
“Yeah I’m fine.”

Lunch time, and Edgar dragged me to a corner, his face is not something I wanted to read and understand at the moment.
“Carmen.”
“Hm.”
“Why did he marry you? You’re so young and there are so many girls out there which he can__”
“Edgar.” I touched his shoulder. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that I am married and also your father’s boss’ daughter.”
Sorry, the long name is too much but leave it.
He held my hands and inspected my fingers. “But you don’t have a ring on your finger? Is it a forced marriage? A marriage against your will? Contract marriage? Because of business.” And he was laughing painfully.
He was assuming things for himself again.
“All these rich men. They don’t care about how their daughters feel about things before they hurt them. I used to respect your father__”
“Keep respecting him.”
“What? But he did this to you!”
“I like it.”
“What?”
“I love Cardo.”
“You mean you love Mr. Ricardo Alejandrozz??!”
I nodded and I know that he still doesn’t get it.
“And he doesn’t love you back, does he? I know he won’t! He sees you as some kid, he is probably seeing Lucia, that actress behind your back and__”
“He is not.”
“What?”
“He loves me too. He loves me so much that he called me his baby.” I said, I can’t even help the smile on my face.
“How can he love you. He’s handsome and__”
“And mine.”
He kept quiet. I know he’s looking out for me and I want to assure him that I’m okay. “Edgar I’m fine. He’s a nice person. We have a date tonight.” I was chuckling as I said so.
“You have a date?”
And I nodded. “Cardo is always full of surprises. The last time, he got me a car. The one I drive to school. Who knows what he’s gonna get me this time.” I giggled, then stopped when he wasn’t finding it funny like I was.
“Come, let’s go eat something before the lunch is over.”
But he didn’t bulge. “Just go. I need to be on my own for now.” And he ran off.
What’s wrong with him? I shrugged. I will ask Alvaro about him later.
For now, let’s go get ready for Cardo visiting my school again!!!!
RICARDO’S POV
“You can’t be serious Ricardo. You can’t shut down my banks and freeze them!! What rights have you?! You’re crossing the boundaries bro?!” Fernando was yelling.
“It’s for the moment. I need to know what’s wrong with the money entering and leaving this company. And mind you, I didn’t freeze only your account, I froze everyone else’s too!!”
He laughed hitting the table, he was going crazy but I was going crazier. The more I delved dipper into this company documents, I realized how shitty everything have been.
Everything have been so messed up. And it’s so annoying because my father let them do wh@ťěver they wanted because he was afraid to put up a fight with them. He knew he won’t win, not when his own daughters are against his decision. He’s already been criticized enough for not making Bernadette the heiress to this company. That’s why he refused to complain and that’s why he let me run the company anyhow I wanted without complaining.
But I’m making it right. “You shut down everything we have in this company!! You now freeze accounts and you won’t want anyone to meet you and complain!!”
“Fernando, can you leave? I might call the securities on you. Remember, I have lots of them.”
And he laughed again, more bitterly this time. “Just know that someday, nemesis will catch up with you. This steps you’re taking are do dangerous, be careful, but I guess, you’ve become so stubborn like your wife. Your backing, I don’t know and I won’t care to know. But know this, someday, you will regret all these that you’re doing.” And he stormed out.
I heaved. He just spoilt my mood this afternoon. My beautiful mood.
The f-__-k!
I got up from my seat as I checked the time and strolled out of my office. Mando and Griffin were already waiting for me by the door.
“Sir, we’ve cancelled your schedules as you requested.” Griffin reported and I nodded.
“But you have a conference meeting in Paris in the next three days.” Mando added.
I nodded. Remembering that trip made my heart shudder. Leaving Carmen behind is a big thr_@t to me. I can’t leave her behind. I sighed.
“And the house? Is it ready?”I asked Griffin.
“Everything is as planned sir.” He replied.
I nodded my head and breathed out again. A smile tugged at one corner of my lips remembering Carmen. How happy she will be when I show off our new house to her.
She will be so happy I presume. And she will whine how she won’t have to lash at my sisters at every meal. Or casting annoying glances at them till the meal is over. She won’t have to bump into any of them either.
And to me, she will be more safer, and that’s why I bought a house for us. Our own matrimonial home.
“Okay, and my date? Did you prepare it like I asked you to?” I asked Mando and he nodded neatly, they were following me as I headed towards the exit of the office.
My bodyguards joined me when I stepped out and entered my car. “I’m going to pick Carmen from school. No need to follow me.”
But no, all of them did follow me. Psst!
I drove to her school, I wanted to see her quickly, very soon. Like right now. I wanted to see her as soon as possible.
Then I recalled Edgar. A lump came to my throat immediately. She might be spending her precious time with Edgar again!
Laughing and smiling with him!!
I drove faster. That jerk might be stubborn as Carmen. Maybe he doesn’t get it yet, when he sees me again, he will get what I’m trying to say about my Carmen.
My car stopped infront of the school premises and my bodyguards were already around to open my car door for me.
And students screamed at the sight of me. “Mr. Ricardo, what’s he doing here?”
“Oh my gosh! He looks more handsome in person than in pictures!!! Dammit! That’s him!!”
Screams…shouts…noise…purr…
Phones filled the air. Camera clicks and flashes. Bodyguards were already ready to block anyone from touching or reaching out to me.
I brought out my phone and dialed Carmen’s number.
Mi Esposa with a love emoji at the end…that’s how I saved her name.
I giggled when I heard her voice on the line. “Baby, I’m in your school, where are you?”
“I’m here. Right infront of you.” I looked around, to all the faces infront of me and the tiny_creature was standing waving at me with all smiles on her face.
Mi esposa.
“Baby.”
