All Chapters of Tempted By Your Touch.: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

PEDRO"Why isn't she answering me?"This was seven in the evening, and I've been trying to call Carla for more than an hour.Her phone has been ringing but she's not answering her calls."Is she still out with Diego?" I wondered, having full suspicion about it.I kept on calling but nothing.I reached out to her mother and she didn't have a clue on where Carla and Doego could be."I'm sure they are fine," She said, believing in them.This got me mad, sending my phone flying right at the wall."I shouldn't have allowed her to go with him. Where did he take her to? Maybe he's feeding her with words that'll keep her away from me, " I believed, knowing the kind of person Diego was.Being the most richest young Billionaire in the world, Diego is also a naughty man that loves to have crazy fun when he feels like it. We both became friends a long time ago during one of Mr Smith's party. I came along with my father, and that was how I met Diego. We both discovered we had similarities in som

DIEGOIt's easier said than done.I've been unable to take Carla out of my mind after that day at the movies.My love for her was beginning to drive me nuts.I found myself unable to focus fully on my work. All I could think of was Carla."Mr Smith? Sir!"I heard someone call out to me, snapping me out of my thoughts.I lifted my gaze to meet my staffs looking at me in confusion."Yes?" I responded, glancing at every faces present there."You didn't say anything about the presentation. We have been calling out to you but you seem to be lost in thoughts.""Is everything okay, sir?"They asked, staring at me with concern."Yes, everything is fine. I was... Well I was thinking about something work... Related, " I lied, clearing my throat while sitting up right."Oh, okay sir.""Let's proceed with the meeting," I said, pointing at my staff who was hosting the presentation.They all resumed with the assignment while I found myself still feeling upset about my own personal situation.Every

DIEGO"He knows now. That bastard knows!" I paced about in my office, unable to let go of the argument between Pedro and I."I will kill him if he does anything funny. He won't like me when..." I paused, thinking about Carla.This left me feeling weak."Damn it. This is my fault. I should have controlled myself before Pedro and found a way to tackle the truth, but I went ahead and blurted things out of anger. "I had my back leaning against the wall with my hands covering my face.Images of Carla came flowing in my head. Our last sex and her words that day at the store room also filled my mind.She said it clearly that day that she didn't want anything that would lead the public into knowing about our secret, and Pedro knows the truth.He had seen us that day at the park and we didn't even know."Carla," I uttered her name, feeling guilt and a strong wave of care for her safety, engulfing me."I have to see her. Yes, I need to tell her about this. She needs to be aware of Pedro's sche

CARLA"That annoying Jessica! I'll make her regret ever challenging me," I groaned out with detest.I could still feel my whole body vibrating with intense anger over Jessica's nonsense.After she challenged me, I immediately joined the queue and signed up for the audition.My name fell among those that will have theirs in four days time.Despite seeing that I signed up, Jessica still had the audacity to mock me, saying I'll break before that day even reaches."I wouldn't have joined the audition, but she needs to be put in her place once and for all! " I vented out to Pedro, who sat next to me.He was just silent all through, nodding his head at my word."I need to get my strength fully for that day. What do you think?" I asked, turning my head to face Pedro."Hmm, " He hummed, nodding his head with his eyes on his phone.It almost looked like he wasn't listening to me.And to confirm that I was right, I noticed an earpod in Pedro's ears. He wasn't listening to me at all!This left m

CARLAI had my eyes following Diego, who walked up to the couch, staring at the bowl of ice cream I kept on it.He took a look at me, wearing a quizzical expression on.I dimmed my eyes at him, asking, "What? Never seen an ice cream in your life before?""I have. Just haven't seen a frustrated lady like yourself. One who has nothing to do but sit here, watch a horror movie, and bury herself in a big bowl of ice cream," He teased me, letting out a chuckle.That tongue of his. I thought he has lost the gift to insult me?Whatever way, it feels good.Not wanting to show the smile that wanted to escape my lips, I said, acting all tough, "You can laugh all you want, Diego. At least I was doing something." I glowered at him.I saw Diego smirk with his eyes falling on me. That sent an electric wave around my body with my eyes leaving his point. "Is it me or is the room suddenly turning hot?" I waved my hand at my face for breeze.With the corner of my eyes, I could see Diego coming my way.
