Carla Rodriguez Hall.After quitting my non-paying pathetic job at the vet clinic, I immediately went back home but could not bring myself to enter my cursed home.So I sat on the curb, second-guessing my decision to walk away from Richard, because where was Ethan Black now?Maybe I should call Ethan and ask for accommodation. I scrutinized the business card he had given me earlier and sighed heavily.No, Carla, you can't do that. Ethan Black will soon be your boss starting tomorrow, so you need to put up boundaries of mutual respect now. I shoved the business card back into my purse and glanced at the ever-so-busy street in my neighborhood.Everyone passing by me was so preoccupied with their thoughts like I was… maybe this was how life was supposed to be. Go through some challenges but don't give up on life itself… I glanced at my house and my heart sank into my guts because just comprehending that another woman was in my home, doing all the things I was supposed to do for my ungrat

Carla Rodriguez.Time: 10:15 am.Location: Hall's vet clinic downtown in Hudson.Life's hasty decisions have a way of humbling each and every one of us and this moment was that point in my life.I'm getting divorced today and married again in two days! Fuck Carla why are you doing this to yourself? I glanced at the divorce papers that I had already signed at Ethan's office and sighed heavily with quivering hands.Was marrying Ethan Black the right decision??? I bit the nail on my index finger while I mulled deeply.Ten million cheddars or divorced and broke?Ah, fuck it Carla, three hundred and sixty-five days for ten million cheddars is nothing compared to working for peanuts in ten years for the government system.I glanced at Ethan and he was preoccupied with his phone... Umh, What an adoring future husband indeed, I rolled my eyes and looked back at the clinic building and for some reason, my legs were paralyzed in one spot. My mind surged with doubt but I really needed to deliv

Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 08:05 am.Location: New York's City Hall, between Broadway and Park Row, Manhattan.A wedding day for any woman was supposed to be the happiest but today felt like I was going into yet another hell hole after the experience I had with Richard.What if Ethan Black doesn't pay me?What if he cheats on me as Richard did?What if his family I know nothing about cursed me for marrying their beloved son without notice?What happens when they find out I was once a divorcee?All these questions ran in my mind as I second-guessed my hasty decision to get married again."You look beautiful dear." Alice pushed back tiny bits of loose hair strings that kept misbehaving even though I had spent over an hour just fixing my unresponsive hair. My armpits, sweating profusely."Are you sure" I stammered while pacing back and forth at the huge wooden double doors to the private room Ethan had hired for the private service we were holding.Wealthy people with their endless sol

Ethan Black.Time: 11:59 am.Location: Black Business Eiffel Tower.Finally, I had fulfilled Dad's last wish by tying the knot even though it was not out of love, hence now it was time to save the company and not for honeymooning like Mother and Carla insisted.Carla was no doubt breathtakingly beautiful today but I was done with anything with a pussy in-between its legs because all women are just cheating glutton swine who don't deserve love, especially if it was coming from me.Still in my wedding suit, I sat stiffly in my chair at the head of the long, polished mahogany table in the boardroom. My mother, Sylvia, sat to my left, her expression set in a mask of stoicism. To my right sat the two shareholders, Miller and Gracia, both looking equally tense.We were all waiting for the attorney to arrive, the man who would finally activate my father's shares in the Black Industry, and then I will be the sole boss of the empire. The silent tension in the room was palpable as if the very a

Carla Rodriguez Black. Time: 06:04 am Location: penthouse.The night was prolonged and I had spent most of it twisting and turning in my huge bed wondering why Ethan was so disrespectful to a mere friend of mine.Could it be that he was jealous or what?I stared at the chandelier while I mulled deeply about the new strange possessive behavior he displayed last night.Why was he in such a nasty mood? Could it be that he did not take full charge of the company?But he said I should not bother him about his whereabouts and he will reciprocate the gesture towards me. But what changed? I cupped my lips together while the noisy streets of Manhattan made it even harder to fall asleep. I peeked at the wall clock in my room, and the time was not moving faster than I wanted it.Fuck this, let me go find out why he treated me like that. I rumbled out of the king king-size and strolled straight for his room, forgetting that I only unraveled a sexy yellow lacey spaghetti strap short nightie Etha
