CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
CARMEN’S POV
What’s their problem? How can they spoil my morning? Why? Why will they attack him like that? Thank God for making me come here, all of them would’ve eaten him up just because he’s soft and can’t speak for himself.
They should face me instead. They should talk to me instead! Why are they running away? Cardo put me down!! Put me down.
My butt landed softly on his bed and I sprang up immediately but he pushed me back to the bed.
“Carmen.”
“What?”
“It’s okay now. I’m fine. Okay?” He said but I heaved.
“You’re not fine. Don’t say you’re because I know that you’re not!”
“I’m fine. I swear. I promise.” He said trying to hold me back. “Carmen, do you know how worried I am? How can you come here when you are still wounded from yesterday. Look at your face and your hair.” He was touching the plaster at the corner of my lips and he was touching my hair.
“I need to speak to those people.”
“I will do that myself.”
“Cardo, you won’t! You will only sit there and let them run all over you with their crazy words. I h@ťě them! I h@ťě everyone. I h@ťě your sisters more and I h@ťě you for letting them make you feel weak like that.”
I was angry. Nothing will pacify me. The terrible sight I saw earlier terrified me. How pitiful Cardo sat listening to each and everyone of them. He was almost at the verge of tears, I bit my lower lips.
He grabbed my arms in his and began to rub the back of my palms gently. “Carmen.” He kissed my knuckles. “You don’t know how happy you made me when you showed up for my sake. I thought I’m gonna bury myself after that meeting.”
“That’s why you never stand up to anyone. You just let them trample all over you like that.”
“I don’t wanna hurt anyone. They’re my uncles and aunties, sisters. My parents too. I don’t wanna hurt anyone’s feeling for just voicing out their opinions.”
And I raised my arm to hit his face for thinking that way but his eyes won’t let me. I wanted to slap his cheeks so badly but the driving force of his beautiful eyes won’t let me. “You call that opinions!!!!!!!” I screamed out loudly and he nearly jumped out of his skin because of how loud my voice was.
“How can you call that opinions? That’s why they do everything they want with you. Because they believe you’re so easy going and always understands.”
“But people are meant to be understood at all times.”
“I don’t want to hear your voice again. I might lose my mind and bite off your tongue. At least if you’re gonna be stupid, don’t be that way infront of me.”
He smiled. What’s funny? I couldn’t tell. “You look so beautiful when you’re sooo angry.”
“Don’t act cute with me. Don’t try it.”
He stroked my cheeks. “Carmen. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I made you angry. I won’t do that again.”
I sighed. Then pouted. He tucked the loose ends of my hair to the back of my ear and stroked my forehead. “Carmen.” He called fondly, making me melt all over again for him. He can never be less handsome, despite this sort of situation, I can’t help but yearn for him.
“What’s it?”
“You look a mess. Why don’t you have a bath…”
I jumped into his words so super excited. “You want to have a bath with me. Sure thing! I’m in. I’ve been dying to see your body and it’s high time we do that already.”
“Hold on, I didn’t say we should bath together. I mean, take a bath here and get changed. I will send you home.”
I frowned. “You’re sending me home and you don’t wanna have a bath with me and you don’t want to show me your body?” I asked and he stared at me without a word.
“Cardo.” He stood up to leave but I grabbed his pants and pulled at it.
“Hey! What are you doing?” He asked as we struggled with his pants. I need to get it off.
“What do you think I’m doing? I’m getting you naked.” I said fighting with him for his pants.
“Carmen stop!” But I won’t listen. I don’t know where his strength is coming from but he’s stronger than me, how? If he’s this strong then why is he so soft? And why is he acting strong with me when there are so many people he can actually showcase his strength for?
Tsk!
Is this all because of his pants? “Carmen, stop!”
“No. I must get this off your waist.”
“Carmen…” He began to tickle my sides and that’s when I let him go. He tickled me nonstop until my ribs were cracking because of laughter.
“Cardo stop!”
“Are you gonna behave now?” He asked, this time, he was looming over me on top of the bed. “You little pervert.” He poked my nose playfully and then rolled over to the other side of the bed smiling.
“Carmen, you actually saved my life today, mi esposa.”
“Just shut up.”
“I will.”
LUCIA’S POV
“Can you tell your story over again because I don’t understand what you’re saying?” George asked me after my agent, my director, my make up artist and my producer scolded me one after another and left.
“How many times am I gonna repeat myself George? That a kid beat me? A kid did all these to me? I’m not gonna accept it.”
I felt like $h|t. I’ve never been so embarrassed in my entire life.
That little witch!
“George, you needed to see how tiny the woman was. You needed to see how Cardo was currying by her side like a houseboy. You needed to see how quiet everyone was about what was happening. ” I wiped a tear off my face.
“My face is such a mess George. I can’t even go on a $h00t. The doctor said that I won’t be able to do anything for a few months. The scars must heal, that’s what my director said and they will have to make the rookie stars fill in for my roles until I’m fit enough to show my face to the public.”
I was sobbing while George patted my shoulders. “It’s okay. You don’t have to cry like this. It’s fine. I’m so sorry that I wasn’t there to protect you.”
“She beat me and that’s not my problem, my problem is that Ricardo didn’t even save me. He didn’t even want to defend me even when I was standing up for the two of us. All he cared about was that mischievous little girl.
He didn’t even take me home, Miss Louisa did. I feel like I’m gonna die right now. I know I wronged Ricardo all these time but isn’t he being too harsh on me? I know he doesn’t love her but why is he so generous to everyone.
I don’t like that everyone is taking advantage of his generosity. Why would he beg her? What does he stand to gain when he gets married to her? Is it because of his failing reputation? Or is it because of the family business? Why is he bent on doing the wrong thing. Can’t he stand up for the woman that he loves. “
“Stop crying. Okay? You won’t heal faster if you keep crying.”
“I can’t even go live on Instagram and Tiktok anymore. I can’t even slay, look at my body, my scalp hurts badly. Look at my skin. Look at my neck, she clawed me with her sharp fingers.”
“You could’ve fought back.”
“I didn’t want to. I wanted Ricardo to see the kind of woman he’s getting married to. I wanted him to rescue me from her. If I dared raised my hand to beat that little girl, she would’ve been in the hospital by now. She’s so little. I respected myself and let her hit me.”
“You even let her smash a bottle on your head? Lucia, you took a lot of risks. You need to sue them. You need to sue the Alejandrozz for every damage.”
“I don’t want to. I don’t want this to come out in the media. I mean, I don’t want anyone to know that Ricardo is getting married, how do you think I’m gonna survive in this movie industry. People will call me a fraud for claiming to be dating him.
And that little girl he’s getting married to is a big insult to me. I can’t stand her and I will make sure that I show her what being a kid is and what being an adult feels like.
I know what she wants. To answer Mrs. Alejandrozz by all means and I won’t let that happen. I will make sure it won’t.”
“Lucia, I think you shouldn’t make a wrong move now. If this little girl had the guts to beat you up like this, smash a bottle on you, I’m afraid but she can ki|| you. Don’t near Ricardo for a while. If he wants you, I think he will come get you.”
“He can’t! Don’t you get it? He’s so soft. He’s trying not to hurt anyone. Doing what everyone wants. Ricardo is someone who can please someone just to displease himself and that little girl is taking advantage of that. She’s exploiting him!”
“Lucia.” He squeezed my arms. “Can you calm down and think about yourself? You nearly died and he haven’t even called to check up on you. He didn’t even ask how you got home. It means that, he have already moved on. You’re already in his past. Accept it.”
“What if I’m not. You needed to see how he ran to me when I called for help. He stayed with me the whole night too. I could see the love for me in his eyes. George, I’m going to lead him back to the right path. His sisters love me. They want the girl out of the family too.”
“Lucia.”
“George, can you just support me and stop telling me not to try get him back?”
“It’s just that I don’t want you to get hurt again. You’re covered in bruises and you still think of him. You never thought of him like this before.”
“But now, I do.”
“Alright fine. Just be careful.”
RICARDO’S POV
“I don’t like this wedding gown, it’s too tacky.” She said as she dropped the gown to the floor and moved on while the attendants followed her, even the guards. I just sat on the couch watching her every move, every expression and every shouts.
“I don’t like this one.”
“Ma, this was actually imported from Italy. It was custom designed by Miss Louisa Alejandro herself for the company…”
“More reason why I don’t like it.” She cut her out and flung the dress away. I smirked. It’s so funny how she’s so bossy and so tiny at same time. I wonder how life would’ve been for her if she was born poor. What would she have done?
“Cardo. Look at this dress?” She asked putting a white wedding gown over her body and showing off to me.
I scrutinized the dress. I bit my lower lips. Should I say beautiful? Will she frown or smile if I say so? She have tested more than fifty wedding dresses which all looked good on her but she will complain to him for not paying proper attention on her each time he commented.
But they all looked dashing on her, brought out her curves so well, I never stopped drooling each time I watched her show off a dress to me. But she’d frown and toss them off, complaining of one thing or another.
“Cardo, I’m asking you a question.”
“The dress is not too good.”I said with a guess in my voice but I didn’t make a right choice for an answer because she frowned at me immediately.
“Not too good? How can you say that? I mean, this is the one that I like in all these dresses that I’m seeing here and you tell me that it’s not too good!” She was yelling.
Even when I don’t understand what I actually did wrong. I uncrossed my legs, sitting up properly trying to smile in order to soften her mood.
“Don’t you smile else I will punch your face.” She said and stormed away.
I stood up and ran after her. “Where are you going?”
“To the next designer company owned by the Alejandrozz.” She said as she stepped out, the car door was already open, so we both got into the car.
“Carmen, our wedding is in five days. You’re yet to pick a dress.”
“Are you forcing me to do what I don’t like?” She asked bluntly with her eyes as sharp as a razor.
“I’m not saying that. What I’m saying is that we’ve been here all day but you don’t see what you like. We’ve been to five different Alejandro’s fashion wedding designer shopping malls and you don’t like all the dresses you see?”
“Yes.”
“Why?” I crossed my arms looking at her.
“Because they’re so tacky. I can’t waste my penny on them.”
“Do you even know who designs those dresses?”
“Your sister. And that’s the more reason why it’s so tacky. Miss Louisa is tacky and I h@ťě tacky things.”
Let’s breathe in otherwise, we will lose our senses over this child, Ricardo. I told myself as I tried to breathe.
The car stopped and we got out. She rushed into the company and the attendants surrounded her.
“Miss, what do you want?” One attendant asked unaware of my presence until I spoke.
“She’s with me. We’re here for wedding dresses. Can I see the latest designs and trends in this mall.”
The attendant tucking her hair at the back of her ear and smiling.”Yes sir. But, you should’ve booked for a dress…”
“Are you questioning what he said or you wanna lose your job? I’m good at firing indolent things.” Carmen shut her out immediately and she scurried away.
“You didn’t have to scare her. That was so unnecessary.” I said to Carmen when the attendants left.
She scoffed rolling her eyes at me. “Not when she’s becoming flirty. ” She said and sat down on a couch. “And I need this hall empty. I want everyone out of this mall, now!” She ordered and I wondered if she’s the owner of me or I’m the owner of myself and funny part is that I found myself giving out the order and everyone was scrambling out of the mall.
“Now, absolute tranquility. “She said as she demanded for coffee. For the fifteenth time today. I mean why? Why take all these caffeine into her young body and when I try to warn her, she won’t listen to me.
I was sitting next to her, every dress was rejected, even as she made corrections and adjustments to the dresses, she still rejected them outrightly.
“That was made by my Maternal aunt.” I said as she dropped the last dress in her arms to the floor.
“It’s so tacky.”
“Tacky? If all the dresses here are tacky, this one can’t be tacky. My aunt is the best fashion designer in the country…”
“I know, but it’s still tacky.”
And why does she always have the last word. Why does she always cut me off just to prove her point.
She sighed heavily. “I thought Alejandrozz should be better than this.”
“What are you saying?” I frowned at her.
“I don’t like the dresses. They’re all tacky. I mean, they didn’t even make it with sense, they look rich but no sense in the dresses.”
“And what can you do as Carmen if not fight and fight all the time!!!!” I was so mad at her right now.
This is absolutely the best fashion designing mall and famous for their wedding dresses, everyone do die to have their wedding dresses being designed here. This is probably the richest. Talk about the richest Alejandrozz mall, and the first thing that pop on is this mall because its owned by my aunt, the well known fashion designer.
But. Carmen called it tacky. She said everything is tacky and she won’t want to buy tacky things for her wedding.
“Are you getting mad at me right now!!! Like are you yelling at me Cardo?”
I became mute. I don’t know why but the look in her eyes isn’t something I can joke with at the moment.
“Get me my wedding dress before tomorrow!! I need my wedding dress else I will do something that you won’t like.”
“What will you do? These are wedding dresses and you don’t like them! What do you want me to do?”
“Hello.” A guy barged in on us smiling at me but wider when he was staring at Carmen. “Hello beautiful? Having problems with choosing a wedding dress?”
What? Didn’t he see me? Or he wants to say that he doesn’t know me? Why shut me out and staring at my wife like that?
And Carmen was smiling back at him. I bet she smiles so well to other guys even when she can barely smile at me without getting angry the next minute. “Yes.” She replied.
He offered her his hand. “Come with me. I will design something perfect for you.”
Before Carmen took his hand, I slapped his hand away frowning at him. “I can do that by myself and f-__-k off or I fire you!!”
“I’m sorry sir but I thought this lady was giving you problems on her dressing taste.”
“That’s none of your business.”
“I can actually design a dress for her sir.”
“You can? Let me see what you can do.” She said and tried to get up but I sat her back down on the couch.
She goes nowhere.
And why is he staring at her so lustfully like that.
“Cardo, I need to get a wedding dress. So let me be!” She said frowning at me.
Of course, she can frown at me but smile at him. Is it fair?
“I will design something myself for you.”
“You will?”
I nodded.
And the heck! I don’t know the last time I designed something myself, not to talk of a wedding dress!
But it’s better than having this little servant do that for her. With his eyes all over the place. I will make sure I fire him later.
I grabbed her arm and marched out of the mall with her.
“Where are you taking me?”
“Home!” I grumbled.
“Why?”
“To design a dress for you!”
