Chapter 23
Carlos Zack returned home the next day, he stayed with Kelsey all through the night, he walked into his mansion slowly, he was damn tired.
Gabby who was eating breakfast saw him enter. "You did not return last night?" She asked, looking surprised, it was the first time he slept outside. "Did you have a cosy night with the bride?" She giggled. She knew he was going to pick his wedding dress with Triffany yesterday and also have dinner with her.
Carlos shoot her a glare. "Snap out of it Gabby." He poured himself a glass of water and took a large sip.
Gabby ignored his glare, she leans on her hands and looked at him. "How was the wedding dress and suit? I hope you choose something nice. How was your date with her too?"
"I cancelled it." Carlos kept the glass down on the table and Gabby looked at him shocked. "Kelsey was not feeling okay. I went over to take care of her at her apartment." He added
"What!" Gabby looked at him sceptically. "Now I know what those staffs were gossiping about." Gabby furrowed her brow in anger.
"What were they saying?" Carlos asked curiously, sitting down as a maid served him his breakfast.
Gabby gave her brother a hard glare, she had no choice but to tell him. "She was the one they were talking about. You're a jerk brother, that lady was right." Gabby finished, she has heard Triffany call, Carlos, a jerk now she has seen the reason.
Carlos looked up at her, his eyes now tense. "Hey Gabby, tell me what they said?" His lips paused in a line.
Gabby looked at him, she was not happy with his attitude either. "They said a lady waited four hours for the man who was to go pick up a dress and suit for their wedding. Four hours Carlos!" Gabby snapped.
Carlos sips his tea and said nonchalantly. "How is that any of my concern. She should have left." Carlos stands up. "At least I knew I cancelled it, she's very stupid to wait for that long anyway." He turned to walk upstairs.
"Carlos you don't know how to treat a lady!" Gabby shouted in anger. She has every right to be angry now.
Carlos turned and look at her, he arches his brow. " I know how to treat the woman I love. Kelsey is that person. I can't see any other lady apart from her. Why should I care about some crazy lady!" Carlos blurt out. "I have to get ready, I'm going on a date with Kelsey." Carlos rolled his eyes.
Gabby stands up and looked at her brother. "Come back to reality Carlos! As much as I love Kelsey for you, I know you're getting married to someone else and it's next tomorrow. So wake up before it's too late!"
Carlos narrowed his eyes. "Just eat your breakfast and go find a friend." He walked upstairs to his room.
Carlos Zack took his bath and called Kelsey, she picked on the first ring. "Hi, Kelsey." Carlos voice was tender and filled with love.
"Carlos."
"Are you done? Can I come over now?" He asked putting on his tie while standing by the mirror.
"No."
"I want to come over. I'm done with everything here." Carlos begged, looking around his lonely room.
"Don't you have anything to do at work today?" Kelsey asked.
"I cancelled all my schedule."
"You don't have to."
"Why not. You're my priority." Carlos's voice was clear and it made Kelsey smile hearing this. "Now get dressed quickly, I will be there in thirty minutes."
"Okay then."
"Love you."
"Love you too." Carlos ended the call.
Abbey who was with Kelsey looked at her with a smile. "Look at you now, you're blushing already."
Kelsey covered her two cheek with her hands. "Am I?" She sits close to the mirror and started applying makeup.
Abbey walked close to her and sit down in her front. "It was just like this the first day Carlos kissed you." They both chuckled. "You were smiling all through that day and I couldn't help but smile back."
Kelsey looked at Abbey, Abbey has always been there for her for a long while now, she cherishes her so much. "This is why I love you, my friend."
Abbey's face turned serious a few minutes later. "Kelsey, what are you going to do? Carlos is getting married in two days."
Kelsey paused her make-up and her eyes turned dark. "He doesn't love her." She spits.
"But they will get married."
Kelsey turned her eyes to look Abbey straight in the face. "They can also get a divorce." Abbey paused, she didn't expect these words from her friend. "What?" Kelsey raised her brow when she saw the looks on Abbey's face.
"What are you planning?" Abbey raised the corner of her brow, the cold look on Kelsey's face was scaring her.
Kelsey turned her gaze to her house image in the mirror. "I have made a plan on how to get my man back without putting up a fight, or acting childish."
"Seriously?" Abbey looked at her. "Fill me up on this plan Kelsey."
Kelsey smirked, her eyes darker and cold. "I'm going to put that lady in her place, she will be lonely, miserable and depressed. She won't feel loved and she is going to beg him to divorce her. I will never let her have any alone time with Carlos. I will get Carlos back."
Abbey just stare at her friend speechlessly, this was the effect of losing a loved one, it must have changed her friend, this wasn't the Kelsey she knows.
Carlos arrived a few minutes later at Kelsey's house, she was done, he leads her to the car and Shanne opened the door, they both steps into the back seat and Shanne drive into traffic.
Carlos held Kelsey's hands and kissed the back of her hand. "Today we are going to do whatever you want to do."
Kelsey look at him and smiled. "Seriously?"
"Yes, and where you also want to go. I'm going to take you there." His eyes staring at her eyes.
"Let's leave this country together." Kelsey's word made him paused and his face became expressionless. "I'm kidding." She said finally.
Carlos smiled gently. "I am ready to do it." He looked at her.
"I know." Kelsey doesn't want to dwell on this matter. "For now let's go to the beach."
"Okay then."
