CHAPTER EIGHT

I desperately wanted to leave there right now but it was like as if I have no control of my body again. He offered his hand for me to shake with a smile, saying, “You must be Dr. Alejandro’s daughter, it is such a pleasure to meet you”

“Likewise, Mr. Diaz” I finally managed to speak up after a long standing silence. The smile on his face made me cringe because I know exactly who that smile charmed, me.

“Feel free to call me Carlos” He said again smiling, this was already getting old, I just want to bore his eyes out right now and tear off those lips to avoid that useless smile. “Let me not keep you waiting then, the meeting is about to start”

The moment I sat down, it got me thinking about the things I could do to him and then get my hands on Laura and everyone that has tried to destroy me. I take blame for being naive five years ago, but you can’t blame me then, I never knew what life was except that it happens in the four walls of this company.

I only gt to experience life in this five years being Vanessa, she is free to do whatever she can without having to impress anybody, be whoever she can and not care about what is being said behind her back, going out for wild sex parties, I was jealous of her……. I was jealous of me.

The voting began, it was to be done electronically by the people in the room but as each vote is being counted it showed on the screen.

As it stands now it was at a 50/50 level, there was no majority in this, most people still trusted him after all. It got to point where it dropped and came back up again, I was yet to cast my vote when it landed back at 50/50.

I had carefully thought about it, if it ended like this then Carlos will still remain President but if I vote against him then he will be removed and I will achieve my revenge, then again, there was something else I would most likely want to do as I finally cast my vote as it boils down to 53/47.

The names of all who had voted against Carlos was shown, and all names that my father was able to convince was shown and then I fell under the clause of those who were for Carlos.

They called it betrayal, I call it strategy.

I knew I won when Carlos turned to me, I could tell he was smitten by my actions today and I plan on getting him even more. I just earned his trust and I will be using it for next phase of my plan.

This will be my revenge.

While he celebrated I snuck out of there as I went to the rest room. The voting just ended and father already knows how it went. He scolded me over the phone, he sounded hurt that I didn’t fall through with the plan and made enemies out of his friends.

“What the hell are you doing? Salome. You perfectly had an open chance to ruin him, why didn’t you just take it!” He yelled over the phone. I explained to him  that he just won’t understand the pain I felt when I saw him.

I wanted to so much to him that he will regret coming to this life, I do hate Carlos with the whole of my heart and I know I will never be able to forgive him which is why I plan on ruining him and Laura’s life.

Dr. Alejandro is livid as he hung up not wanting to hear anything else. I pitied myself cause I am the only one who knows exactly how I feel.

I wiped my tears as I walked out of the rest room, bumping into him again, this time it was fatal as my hat got entangled the button of his shirt as we both were on the ground, my body on his.

“Wait…. let me take off the hat from head” I removed it as it jingled on his shirt, I helped out in removing it as we both laugh, the situation was a bit odd.

The hat finally came off, “Thanks” He said, “Are you heading home? I could drop you off ?” he offered but I refused. “Well at least I should invite you for dinner sometime, I would love for you to meet my wife”

Wife? Carlos is married?

My body froze again, this time I was caught in a time lapse, I couldn’t believe it…. I mean I know it would happen but I didn’t think it will be so soon, and I bet it was Laura he married, nobody else but her.

How is it that I was kept informed of everything about him but nobody told me that he was married.

My throat was constricted begging for water, the pain had gone up to awaken my teary eyes as I tightened my fist not wanting to break character by crying in front of him.

“I’ll think about it” I said before hastening my feet away from him. Think about what Salome? You couldn’t even stand hearing that he was married, how will you be able to handle having dinner with his family.

A part of me still love him, and I hate myself for it, Vanessa I am so sorry.

Everybody was right that it is not that easy to get rid of your first love and this is very much true. But I know my hatred is much stronger and I can control those useless feelings of mine.

I went to the bar at the hotel to get my mind off everything and have fun. I saw Angry bird sitting on one of the stools close to the bartender. He saw me too and probably would think now that I am a stalker.

“I’ll have what he is having but stronger” I didn’t even bother looking at Angry bird as I spoke to the bartender. The drink came as I gobble it at one gulp, “Another” I said.

I drank a couple more glasses as Angry bird watched me with a side eye, he only showed concern when I stumbled trying to balance properly on my stool, he touched my shoulder for support and I could feel my body lighten up.

If I wanted to get rid of Carlos from my head, I needed to go big. “Let’s dance” I pulled him off from his seat to the dance floor.

I danced through the rhythm, moving my body in a seductive manner as I twerk on him, making him touch every part of my body without hesitation. Things between us started getting heated and I know he too felt it too, the budge evident on his pants tells me so.

I took his hand to grope my ass as I pressed my boobs to his chest, taking my feet inches high and whispering into his ear, “I want you to fuck me so hard that I forget that this world exist” I kissed his neck, drawing him into my temptation, he smacked my ass in agreement as he pulled me into the best kiss I have ever had.

This was the beginning of Vanessa.
