Carlos got up from his seat and came and sat beside me, be wrapped his arms around my frame and whispered in my ear, "That's not true. Not everyone who loves you hurts you. I've never hurt you."
I sniffed, "You eventually will," He rubbed my back gently.
"Never," he lifted my head up to his face. "How can I hurt the person how acted as my girlfriend for years until my parents couldn't take anymore and told me to stop the act." That made me smile a little. His parents knew he was gay but wanted to know how long he'd keep up the act, they had a bet on it too.
I held up my pinky finger to him. "Promise?"
He smiled at placed his pinky finger in mine. "Pinky Promise." I laughed and he proceeded to wipe my tears.
I straighten up myself. "You're still going to visit Martin's family, though. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." I give him a smile to assure him.
He sighed giving in, "Okay, I will go but not before I sort out things at the studio." I lifted my head to speak but he lifted his hands and stopped me. "No, you will not leave you in charge of the studio. I'll tell my students that I'm going on vacation, they will understand."
I sighed, "Okay." I gave in, after all, he wouldn't stop until I did.
"Great," he smiled and clapped his hands. "Now will you please make me some breakfast I'm hungry." He laughed and walked out of the room before I could answer him.
I smiled after him and started making breakfast. I didn't mind preparing the meals, after all, I'm living here for free. I still haven't started working either. Since I've been back I spent most of my times crying and some days I had enough strength to go to the park and paint.
Carlos loved my cooking and since he was doing so much for me, I might as well return the favour by providing him with the three most important meals of the day. Cooking is the only way I can repay him currently so why not? It's not much but it's still something. It's least I can do since he's here for me and will always be.
Hopefully.
Alex POV
I lift my head to look at the office door that had just been knocked, "Come in,"
My secretary, Lisa walked in and closed the door behind her. "Mr Cater there is a Santiago de Pablo here to see you. He's not on the schedule for today but he insists that he needs to see you. That it's very important."
I rubbed my temples, I wasn't in the mood to be speak to anyone but since it's important, I might as well try, "Okay, send him in."
What was so important anway?
It isn't the norm for me to just let a random stranger who said he had soemthing important talk to me, but for the past few weeks normal isn't the word to describe my actions. Ever since my mother exposed Kalliyah or Alliyah or whatever her name was, I haven't been okay. I've been working non-stop, barely got time to eat much less shave.
Trying to build my business is a good distraction from the constant pain in my chest.
Lisa turned and exit my office and a minute later a man came in followed by a red-head with shades on. She looked awfully familiar but I ignored her and gave my attention to the man.
"Mr Carter, I'm here to speak on the behalf of my fiancée," he said in a tick Spanish accent.
"Interested and confused in what he's going to say I told him to have a seat. Luke and his female compainion took a seat in front of me.
"I'm Santiago de Pablo and this is my fiancée Alliyah Bisson." As soon as he said the last name I tensed up and he noticed. "I'm sorry sir. You probably think she's a bad person because of what she did to Henrique but..."
"Stop," I shouted at him and look at the female beside him. "Take off the shades." The red-head lifted the shades and I sat there shocked.
What the hell was this all about?
Why did she come here?
What happened to her hair?
I stood up from my chair and turn to look at them, "You think you can fool me?" I said and ran my hand through my hair. Why did she come here pretending? "Why are you doing this Kalliyah? Why? Haven't you tormented me enough? Haven't you learnt your lesson?"
"What are you talking about?" she spoke up looking at me confused.
I frowned at her and rolled my eyes, "Oh stop acting. What were you thinking coming here acting like he's your fiancée." I barked.
Santiago stood. "I am her fiancée," he said with conviction.
"Santiago stop, we should go." She blubbered looking at him with sadness.
Such a great actress.
Why didn't I pick this up before?
Santiago's eyes soften as he look at her, the same way mine used to.
I shook my head, she knows excatly how to make a man fall for her.
"No, Ally. We will not go. We're not leaving without my son." I looked at him and frowned.
What the hell are they talking about?
What son?
Henrique?
She looked at him sadly and smile.
I frowned, there is no way Henrique was his child, my father did a dna test and it came back positive. Henrique was my father's child and is my brother.
I ran my hands through my hair. She wouldn't be crazy enough to tell this guy he was the father of a child, would she?
