C3 Chapter 3

"Frida, why did you do that?" Leonardo asked over the phone

"I'm sorry babe I wasn't expecting that message I should have told you before going But at least everything is okay now"

Leonardo shook his head"Everything is not fine I'm fucking married to that nameless girl Have you seen the way she looks? I can't even take her out as my wife She disgusts me"

"I know I saw the video You two don't look like a good match at all But just bear with her for a while We'll figure something out"

"When will you be coming back?"

"In the next five years"

"What Frida?"

"will you wait for me "

"I can't answer that"

Smiling at the students Coco and Amy made their way to class

"Ouch my mouth is paining me" Coco said sitting down in her chair once they arrived

Amy rolled her eyes"You smile too much that's why"

"I'm telling you I'm not even the celebrity here It's just my brother"

"Remember you're also popular on TikTok"

"Oh, that's true" Coco replied taking out her phone At that moment Emily rushed over to them 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤

"I heard your brother got married" Emily asked

"Of course" Coco said engrossed in her phone

"So all these years that Leonardo was hiding his wife's face on the internet it was because she's nameless?"

"What did you just say?" Coco asked dropping her phone

"I said your brother's wife is nameless She's not even on the internet There's nothing about her at all I guess she must be from a dirty family"

"Shut your mouth, you catty little trap" Amy screamed her anger flaring

"You can't just come here and talk about my brother's wife like that If you have a problem with her, feel free to hug a live wire or jump in a river" coco said

"What did I do wrong? I was just expressing my opinion on his wife"

"We don't want your useless opinion" Amy retorted

"Alright, what can I do to get information about that girl?"

"Will you do anything I say?" Coco asked

"Yes, anything"

"Just jump in the river and drown, you idiot," Coco spat out "Leave my sight." Emily hissed and stomped off

"I thought you didn't like Isadora"

"I don't but I won't let just anyone talk trash about her" Coco replied

Isadora sneaking out to see her mother and friend

"Why didn't you tell me you were his girlfriend all this time? I can't believe you kept it a secret from me, your best friend." Jane asked

"What girlfriend? I hadn't even met him before that day"

"Then how did you end up as his wife?"

"I was there to deliver something I didn't even know it was the venue for his wedding when a woman approached me for help without even telling me what kind of help she needed Before I knew it I was being married off to him"

"I bet you're really happy I'm sure he's treating you well. And you'll soon be famous, too as his wife I'm so happy for you Isadora"

Isadora sipped her water a small smile playing on her lips

"Are you okay? It seems like there's something you're not telling me"

"Nothing" Isadora insisted a hiccup betraying her nerves

"Isadora you're lying Tell me now, what's going on?"

"I need to start going" Isadora said standing

"What about your mom? Won't you wait for her?" Jane asked

"I'll call her" Isadora said rushing out she put on a mask and glasses "Gosh I'm late I hope he's not back yet"

Isadora hailed a taxi and gave the driver her address The taxi stopped at the bus station, and she sprinted home, her breath coming in rapid gasps The house was dark when she entered

As Isadora turned to enter her room the lights suddenly switched on plunging her into a state of panic. She froze her bag slipping from her grasp as she turned to see who was there Her body trembled, beads of sweat forming on her forehead as she fought to suppress the hiccups that threatened to betray her fear

"Leonardo" she whispered her voice barely a murmur as she trembled in fear

"What were my rules again remind me?" he demanded standing up to face her

"I...must...not...leave...the house" she stuttered

He advanced towards her loosening his belt as he went " let me remind you again I hit women"

Isadora's heart thumped frantically in her chest as he came closer and she began to hiccup and sweat profusely.........
