Chapter 29

Carlos friends came over to his mansion and were warmly welcome by Gabby which was a surprise to them all. “Welcome handsome, please come have a seat.” She peeked at them and they sat down.
“Are you on drug today?” Garratt asked her.
“No, why did you say that?” Gabby gave them a cute smile and sit in a chair next to them.
“Nothing,” Garrett said, he couldn’t bring himself to say what he wanted to.
Eric noticed it and decided to say it in his stead. “You are strange today.”
“And it’s scary,” Blake added.
“Cut the bullshit!” Gabby’s voice made them seal their lips. “What should I offer you?” She
“Nothing.” Garrett shakes his head.
“I don’t need anything either,” Blake said.
“Me too. We just came to see Carlos.” Eric stutter.
Gabby looked at them with a frown. “This is terrible.” She scoff.
“Sorry princess, we would take wine,” Garrett spoke for the rest of the team.
“Wine that sounds good.” Blake smiled.
“That is going to go well with my system.” Eric looks at her.
Gabby smile. “Okay>” She claps her hand and a maid comes out.
“Miss Gabby.” The maid said lowering her gaze.
“Bring me the finest wine for my guest,” Gabby said gently, she was always kind to her maids.
”Okay miss.” The maid left.
“Gabby,” Garrett called out.
“Yes, Garrett.” Gabby faced her.
“Do you have a hidden camera here?” Garrett asked.
“why?” She looks at him surprised by his question.
“You are acting too nice, what’s the occasion?” Garrett asked.
“I am frightened,” Eric added.
Gabby gave them a warm smile. “Don’t be, I am in a good mood today.” She winks them.
“What is the reason?” Blake asked.
“Someone was honestly happy to see my gold medal and heard my stories, unlike some people I do tell about it.” Gabby looked at them all.
“Who would be silly enough to be happy about your childish medal,” Eric mumbled. They have heard that story countless times already.
“What did you just say?” Gabby arched her brow.
“I was only talking to my mind.” Eric pointed at his head.
Gabby rolled her eyes. “You can’t spoil my good mood.”
“Don’t go about saying the same story repeatedly,” Garrett advised her. She was fond of doing it, that was why they were bored of it. The maid served the wine with four glasses.
Gabby arched her brow. “You’re all so annoying, you can drink your wine and wait peacefully for my brother.” She told them and turned to leave.
“Where is Carlos?” Garret asked her.
“You should always call him before coming over, don’t ask me!” She shouted and walked away.
Eric breathes a sigh of relief. “Gosh! She acts like a chameleon, always changing switching character.”
“You are lucky she didn’t pull your hair,” Blake told him.
“I wonder where Carlos went to, he is not picking his calls.” Garrett tried calling him again.
“it only happens whenever he is with Kelsey .” Eric sips his wine. “She’s very important to him.”
“She was always there for him when his parent died, they are inseparable,” Blake said softly. Triffany who was walked into the house heard their conversation. “That lady.” They all turned to see her.
“Is she not the one,” Eric said standing up. “Mrs Triffany, right?” He asked with his hands stretched out or a handshake.
“Triffany.” She shakes his hand.
“The pretty bride,” Blake said and she turned her eyes to look at him.
They all introduced themselves to her, this was the first day they had talked to her this way, last time she came here they were surprised and barely recognized her from the news, but now she looked transformed.
“Sorry about last time, I didn’t know your name then.” Garrett apologized.
“It’s okay.” Triffany smiled at him.
“We are good now right?” He asked.
Triffany nods. Eric touched his hair. “Wow! She’s so beautiful.” Eric mumbles.
“We are Carlos friends,” Blake told her, all these while he had been staring at her.
“I am aware, he’s not here now, I better head upstairs, take your time and enjoy your drinks while you wait for him.” She told them before leaving.
“Gosh! She looks pretty now.” Eric blurts out.
“Get a hold of yourself, Eric. I know you would have stolen her from Carlos on their wedding day.” Blake said, looking at Eric.
Eric sips his drink slowly. “Yes. Carlos doesn’t know he is blessed, Garrett am I wrong?”
“She’s gorgeous.” He licks his lower lips.
Blake looks at him and shakes his head. “Hey evil, you should also take your eyes off her.”
Garrett smiled. “I don’t have a girlfriend, you know.”
“Jezz! Not you too, Garrett.” Blake frowned.
Garrett rolled his eyes. “You should admire good things, Blake.”
Blake smiled. “I know she’s pretty.” He told them and they all chuckled and continue their conversation.
Triffany lay on the couch in the room she now shares with Carlos, such a husband, she was going through her phone to keep her mind from thinking of Carlos who was out there with his lover.
Why will a man act this way, even if he doesn't love her, he should try to control himself. She exhaled softly, she knows that this marriage was one without love.
Her phone rings and she smiled broadly, bringing the phone to her ear. "Hello, Allison."
"Triffany." Allison was overjoyed on the other side of the line, it has been few days since they last spoke, and she heard that Triffany was back, well it seems everyone knows.
"How are you?" Allison asked cheerfully.
"Am good Allison."
"How was your trip and your husband?"
Triffany scoffed at this question, her husband was busy with another woman and her trip was very boring, well this was the world she will live in now.
"Can I come over, or, are you having a lovey-dovey moment with the rich heir?" Allison giggle.
"Wake up Allison, that's the last thing I would do." Triffany arched her brow, lovey-dovey her ass.
"Hey don't say that." Allison scolds her.
Triffany rolled her eyes, this was what she had decided in her heart already. "Are you at home?" She asked.
"Yes."
"I'm coming over, this mansion is boring and I miss you." Triffany got up from her chair to get dressed, anything that can keep her thoughts away from Carlos.
"Nick is with me," Allison added.
Triffany rolled her eyes. Nick her annoying cousin. "Forget him. I'm coming over."
"Okay, I'm waiting." Allison ended the call and walked over to Nick. "Hey Nick, Triffany is back and she's coming over."
"Okay," Nick said nonchalantly with his eyes still on the game he was playing.
"Can't you act excited for once?" Allison frowned at his attitude.
Nick scoffed. "Triffany is not a star or celebrity, why should I be excited?" He asked.
"Jeez!" Allison folds her arm and stares at her brother. "You both act like you are twins born on the same day." She frowned at how Triffany and Nick care less about themselves.
Nick smiled and turned to the frowning Allison. "Allison, you should try to play some games, maybe it will lighten your mood."
Allison gave him a hard glare. "Carry on alone." She left the room in anger, her brother was a pain in the ass.
