THE CEO BRIDE - CHAPTER 60&61
{ MRS. CASTILLO }
Adele’s brain stuttered for a moment and her eyes were wide in terror as she stared at her best friend. Helena had a complete shock expression on her face, her hand gripping the phone in her hand tight.
“You… You ki||ed someone?” Adele finally found her voice which shook at the end.
“What are you talking about? ki|| someone?” Helena chuckled, averting her gaze from Adele’s. She tried to walk away but a tight grip from Adele stopped her abruptly.
“What are you doing?” She yelled, trying to free herself from the tight grasp.
“I know you, Helena! I fûcking heard every single conversation you had with that bastard over the phone! Don’t lie to me and fûcking speak the truth!” Adele yelled. Her eyes glowed with unspoken emotions… Though, disappointment was clearly visible in her light grey eyes.
“It’s Valeria! So, what? You’re gonna hit me?” Hearing that, different emotions spurred through Adele and her hand which were on Helena’s slipped to the side.
“Wh…What?” This came as a shock to her. Helena ki||ed Valeria? She wasn’t in the least expecting that act from her.
“That’s to make her pay for ridiculing me in the presence of everyone! And you know what? This is just a tip of the iceberg because that goddamn wife of Romeo is joining her soon! I won’t back down till Romeo comes back to me!” Helena yelled. She was just like an obsessed lady with her eyes shining with fury.
The next thing which followed was a sound, a harsh and loud one. Adele hit Helena on the face.
“Have you gone insane? No, you’re insane, Helena! How could you? She’s a lady like you!” Adele screamed. Her hand met with Helena’s cheek again and this time, it was a resounding slap which momentarily sent Helena to the arms of the devil.
“You’re despicable, Helena! You’re crazy!” Adele broke down in tears, her heart aching badly. She was still in shock, she still couldn’t bring herself to believe this.
Helena ki||ed Valeria? Does that mean Valeria is gone? She’s dead? Thinking about that, Adele’s hand flew to her mouth as she moved backwards. Her tears fell uncontrollably.
After regaining herself from the visit to hell, Helena moved closer and the next second, her hand met with Adele’s cheek, giving it to her hard just like she did to her.
“I won’t ever let you hit me anyhow you like! Call this obsession, I don’t care! I won’t mind shedding blood to get what I want!”
“And, if you tried to step in my way, then it’s your end! The end of our friendship!” Helena yelled, staring at Adele irritatedly.
“Oh, fine. That’s it, let’s end this fûcking friendship which seems to be getting worse everyday! Let’s end this!” Adele yelled back, her cheeks stained with her tears.
“And you know what? It’s not gonna end here! I’m gonna report you to the cops, I’ll let the world know the kind of person you are! And you know what that means? Romeo is gonna h@?? you!”
“Shut the crap up!” Helena screamed, clenching her fist tight.
“And then, you’ll get ki||ed too! You’ll be ki||ed just like you did to Valeria!” On mentioning her name, Adele cried harder and she immediately rushed out.
Helena’s eyes widened. Was she really going to report her like she said? Was she? She found herself running after Adele and she successfully caught up with her when Adele was about leaving the house.
“Are you seriously going to report me? I’m your best friend!” Helena screamed, staring at Adele in terror. Best friends are meant to support each other, why was hers different?
“You’re a murderer!” Adele screamed, shaking her head vehemently. Her voice broke as she continued speaking, her emotions taking the best part of her. Never has she imagined her friend acting all obsessed with a man she chased away with her own hands!
“Wh…what?”
“You’re a murderer, Helena! And people like you are meant to be in jail! Who knows if I’m the next on your list!” Adele screamed, not minding the words she had just uttered.
“Adele!!!” Helena yelled. Adele fell on her knees, hugging herself as she cried her eyes out. She could never imagine the pain Valeria felt before she died. And Marcus? How was he feeling?
Thinking it was her friend who did all this tore out a lot of Emotions from the depth of her heart.
“Why? Why did you do that? You should have let go! You should have….” Sobs.
“You should have just left the country with me, why did you do that?” Adele cries.
“Why did you ki|| her? Why? Why?! Why?!!”
Seeing her tears, Helena calmed down a little. Now, she regrets doing what she did. Valeria was gone, there was nothing to do about it. She was just blinded with rage and took that action before thinking of the repercussions.
And, was Adele really going to report her to the cops? Was she going to be ki||ed too?
“I’m going to be an Aunt!!!!” Valeria’s loud scream filled the ward. Marcus stared at her as though she had totally gone crazy. Then he panicked. What if her Brain was kinda affected by the accident?
“Baby, are you sure you’re okay? Do you feel any pain in your head?” He asked, searching her face for any concern.
“Hey! I’m fine, okay? I’m just so elated right now. I’m gonna be an Aunt soon!” Valeria winked at Rosetta whose cheeks were already stained with a blush.
“Aunt? Who’s pregnant?” That was Romeo’s voice. Valeria giggled before pointing her middle finger at him. He raised his brow in confusion.
“Well, I think I should be expecting my goddaughter very soon. I can’t wait!” Valeria giggled. Marcus shook his head before walking over to Romeo who was already laughing while walking to the door. They’re both aware of Valeria’s craziness.
“We’ll be taking a step out” Marcus announced but Valeria wasn’t listening. Her attention was solely on Rosetta. He shook his head before leaving the ward with Romeo.
“Why the hell did you have to scream that way?” Rosetta chastised when they were the only one in the room.
“Why? Do you know how happy I am to hear this from you? And how can I die when something as huge as this is waiting for me?”
“Gosh, Val!” Rosetta frowned and Valeria stopped talking immediately. Though she wouldn’t stop wiggling her brows at Rosetta teasingly.
“Okay, I’m sorry. So, how was the honeymoon? The best, right?” Rosetta nodded shyly as the memories of their days at Bora Bora filled her mind. Those were the best times of her life. She enjoyed every moment with Romeo there.
It was during their stay there that she saw another view of her husband. One which was meant for her alone according to his words and actions. It was still during their stay over there that she discovered the hidden affection she has towards her husband.
“This is so cute! I’m so happy for you, Rose. You deserve the best, yunno?” Valeria smiled. Rosetta was moved. Was this how it felt to have friends? The joy? The teasing and smiles?
“Here!” Valeria raised her left hand to Rosetta’s face. Rosetta stared at her finger to find a gorgeous silver ring on her middle finger.
“This…” A smile spread on her lips as her eyes traveled to Valeria.
“Yes, he proposed! I’m getting married soon!!” The ward suddenly got filled with loud screams of joy as the girls totally left the joy out of their hearts.
To Valeria, she was grateful for being alive. Happy that she’d be getting married to the love of her life soon. And lastly, she could picture Rosetta walking around with her huge baby bump.
“He just won’t give up,” Marcus and Romeo were on a stroll around the hospital. Romeo’s hands were behind him while Marcus’s own were tucked in his pocket.
“He’s a desperate fool” Romeo mumbled, gazing up at the sky before averting his gaze.
“He needs to know his place, same as his so-called Father. I wouldn’t hesitate to do that though,” Marcus gritted out the last word.
Romeo’s phone beeped in his pocket and he brought it out. It was a message from one of his guards.
★ I’VE LOOKED INTO HER BACKGROUND LIKE YOU SAID. HERE’S HER DETAILS ★ The message reads. Romeo clicked on the mail he sent to him and went through Anaya’s profile. He sighed after he was done. There was nothing strange about her, maybe he misunderstood.
“What’s that?” Marcus asked. Romeo placed his phone in his pocket.
“A new maid was assigned as my wife’s personal maid. I made a background check on her, I need to stop if she was a spy from Freudian. But, there’s nothing strange about her, I guessed I was just overthinking” Romeo explained.
“I can’t blame you. By the way, what’s your next action? I’m badly controlling myself from ki||ing that bastard for doing that $h|t to Val” Marcus said
“It’s time to stop this childish play, isn’t it?” A smirk found its way to Romeo’s lips.
It was towards evening time when Romeo and Rosetta arrived home. Marcus and Romeo went to the company while Rosetta stayed with Valeria. When they felt it was too late, they headed back home.
Romeo was about to alight from the car when a call came up on his phone. It was from Adele.
He ignored it at first but on a second note, he picked it.
“Romeo, it’s Adele” Adele’s voice was shaky and Romeo wondered why.
“I know,” he muttered. Rosetta got out of the car and waited for him patiently.
“Can we meet up? I have something to tell you” Adele said.
“Is it about Helena? If it is, then I’m out” Romeo was about to cut the call when her desperate voice stopped him.
“No, it’s not. It’s very important and I think I should let you know before it gets out of hand” this statement confused Romeo a lot. What does she mean by that?
“Okay. You can come over” with that, he ended the call. He alighted from the car and walked round to meet Rosetta.
“Let’s go in,” they both went inside. Rosetta froze on her steps when she saw a strange woman, looking comfortable on the couch in the living room.
Her legs were on the table as though she’s the owner of the house and she had a glass of wine in between her lips. Rosetta grew mad with that.
Romeo wasn’t excluded. Rage boiled inside him as he stared at Helena.
“Who the hell are you?” That was Rosetta’s voice. Her voice was unexpected cold and that surprised Romeo a lot
Helena turned. On seeing Romeo, she smiled and got to her feet. That was when Rosetta got a complete view of her dressing.
Helena was only putting on a black net gown which showed the P@?tî?? and bra she wore. That infuriated Rosetta more.
“What the hell are you putting on, Helena?! Who let you in? Get the fûck out of my house!” Romeo thundered.
Helena ignored him and catwalks towards him. She walked past Rosetta who was already boiling with anger and went to Romeo.
“I’m here to get you back, I don’t care if one bìtch is standing right here” Helena touched his arm. Before Romeo could react, Rosetta was already with them. She gripped Helena’s hair tight, yanking her away from Romeo.
“What the hell! Let me go ?îtçh!”
Paaaaaahhhh!!! That was the slap Rosetta landed on Helena’s cheek. Helena went mute instantly.
“That’s for calling me a bìtch!” Rosetta yelled, still pulling Helena’s hair.
Paaaaaahhhh!!! Another one landed on Helena’s cheek.
“That’s for touching my man with that disgusting hand of yours!” By now, Helena was already seeing stars. Rosetta was undoubtedly strong as she couldn’t do anything to save herself.
Worst still, Romeo stood there, watching the whole scenario with an amused smile on his face. He was enjoying this, no doubt.
“Let me go, you bìtch!” That was Helena’s voice. Another slap landed on her cheek and it reddened instantly.
“Mrs. Castillo!” Rosetta yelled. Romeo was forced to laugh. This wife of his actions was indeed surprising.
“Call me Mrs. Castillo, you slut!” Rosetta yelled, pulling Helena’s hair tight.
Helena refused to talk. She would never stoop so low as to address her as Mrs. Castillo!
Rosetta got enraged with that. She was so mad that this lady here had tried to seduce her own husband!
The next thing she said was parting her lips and then digging her teeth into Helena’s skin. She fûcking bite her!!!
“Aaargh!! Mrs. Castillo!!!!!” Helena was forced to scream. Rosetta’s teeth were sharp against her skin and she didn’t know when tears slipped out of her eyes.
“That’s a warning for you to stay away from my husband! My man!” Rosetta yelled after pulling away. Helena’s shoulder was red by now.
Rosetta walked briskly to Romeo. She got on her tiptoes and held his collar, she pushed his head down to hers and smashed their lips together.
Being the naughty and perverted husband Romeo was, he grabbed that bouncing @zz that drives him crazy and spanked it right in front of Helena.
“Oh, my man!” Rosetta Mõ@?ed, kissing him intensely.
“Noooooo!!!” Helena screamed with teary eyes and then slumped to the floor.
