Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Triffany woke up the next morning with a hangover and she rush into the bathroom and vomited she washed her mouth and yet vomited again.

Carlos saw her leave for the bathroom and went after her, he packed her hair while she vomits. When she was done he rolled a tissue and gave it to her.

"Why did you have to drink so much when you can't even handle it?" Carlos asked her as she wash her mouth again.

"Did i ruin the party last night?" She looked up at him.

"Absolutely." he fold his arm and leans back on the bathroom wall.

"I've never taken that much alcohol before now, I feel sick." She sat on the bathroom floor breathing softly.

Carlos look at her and scoffed because he know that she had taken more than that before. Well that was the first time maybe she can't remember. "Whenever you take alcohol you become wild and you've taken that much before."

"When?" She tries to think.

"The first day I met you, you were drunk while delivering pizza I have to take you to this mansion." He reminded her. "So you should be grateful to me each time. Do you know how much trouble you caused me?"

She looked at him again. Did I cause lots of trouble?" He shook his head.

It's just useless since you can't remember anything... oh my head." He held his head and left the bathroom, leaving her wondering.

...

After a long day work at the publishing company, Tommy looked at Triffany's face. "You look a bit pale today, are you alright?"

Triffany smile. "I got a little hangover today, but am fine."

"I hope you're okay?" He asked worried.

"Yes. I ate some porridge this morning."

"Alright." Let head out. We got thing to do then." Tommy picked his phone and some file while Triffany took her bag and they left the office together.

Carlos sat down with Elvis Daniel to sign the contract, Felicity and Philip were also present there.

Elvis gave him the file. "Here, you will sign here and here."

"Okay." Carlos went through it and signed. "Done."

"Thank you." They both frown hands as Felicity arrange the documents.

"Tell me who we're expecting." Carlos demanded.

"Tommy Maxwell." Elvis said as the name sounds familiar to him but it was from Tiffany's lips he heard it. Yes it must be that her friend. "And a female."

Carlos looked at Elvis. "Tommy Maxwell and who? What's her name?"

"Triffany Joey."

"Huh!" Carlos looked at him with a wide way and parted lips as they turned to him. "Triffany Joey?"

"Yes." Elvis nods in affirmation. Elvis gave him their resume as Carlos went through it.

"This finally happened." A smile form in his lips.

"What!" Elvis looked at him.

"Nothing." Carlos put frown the file. "I will work with them." He stretched out of his hands for a handshake with a smirk on his face.

Carlos sat down in his office looking at Tommy and Triffany's resume and picture. "So the both of them will be working on this project with me and he's the guy she always go with and the popular person she always talks about."

He scoffed, put down Tommy's resume, holding only Triffany's as he looked at her picture with smile on his lips. "Finally you're coming to my company which you despise so much."

"It wouldn't be a shock to her." He leans back as he touch his chin. "But then she'll be doing the work together with this guy."

He picked up Tommy's resume again. He looked at Tommy's picture and frown. "He looks good but I'm more handsome." He exhaled softly.

He ooked at the wedding ring on his finger and wonder if Triffany is wearing her ring too. He put the resumes away and press the extension button as Felicity came inside.

"Sir."

"Call Elvis Daniel and have him bring them tomorrow, we will start tomorrow, it's better to start early and end this quickly."

"Okay sir."

"You may leave now." She turned to leave but he called her back. "Felicity."

"Yes sir."

"Do i have any other schedule today?"

"No sir."

"Then am leaving, tell Shanne Cole to prepare the car. " Felicity left the off and Carlos got up and picked up his coat to leave.

Carlos arrived home to see Triffany upstairs going through her clothes. He walked over to her. "What are you doing?"

He put down his coat as Triffany looked up with smile. "Guess what?" She asked happily.

Carlos put down his phone, he doesn't have the energy to play guessing game now. "Just say it already." He said nonchalantly.

"I'll be representing my company in a larger company, they've already signed the contract and I will be going there tomorrow." She said joyfully.

"Okay." Carlos smiled to see her so happy for that. "That's good.

"Yeah." She turned to continue searching for an outfit. "They saw my talents that's why." She made a little dance with her shoulder.

Carlos scoffed. "Don't be so full of yourself you've got no talent in what you do."

Triffany looked at him sharply with a frown. "Only you think that."

Carlos smile. "Which company would you be going now?" Carlos sat down on the sofa.

"I don't know, but it's large and big and would make me more popular, so don't be surprised when I become popular than you." She warns him.

"Popular my butt." Carlos rolled his eyes, does she think this is some kind of celebrity job. He took off his tie.

Triffany realized something and turned to him. "But...why do you suddenly care so much about the company..." She looked at him suspiciously. "You're acting like a typical husband just now."

Carlos raised his brows. "How?"

She folds her arms. "You're asking me questions about the company I'm going to." She looked at him.

Carlos stood up. "Just continue going through your clothes, am tired of talking." He picked up his towel and he went into the bathroom.

Triffany watched the bathroom door close and shrugged. "He's always like that." she's signed, just as she turned to continue, her phone rang and she picked up with a smile. "Hello mom."

"Triffany what do we do?" Tiffany head panic on her mother's voice from the other side of the line.

"What's wrong mom?" Triffany asked seriously since it was the first time she have felt her mother this scared.

"Your dad, Triffany." Her mother's voice was hoarse.

Triffany looked alarmed. "What happened to dad?"

"He had an accident Triffany, their airplane crashed while landing."

"What!" Triffany was stunned as tears rolled down her cheek.

Carlos came out from the bathroom and saw Triffany on call, he turned to clean his hair but turned sharply when he heard the panic in her voice.

"Where is he? Where is dad?" She asked her mother in tears.

"At the hospital." Laura told her.

"Alright, text me the address. I'll be there, right away." She hung up in tears and picked up our coat to leave but Carlos held her back and looked at her face. "What's wrong Triffany? Why are you crying?"

She looked at him with her wet eyes. "I have to go, my Dad..." she stammered. "He's in the hospital..my dad." She was crying and her voice was hoarse.

"I'm coming with you." He quickly puts on his top and trouser as Triffany wore her sneakers without tying the rope.

In a hurry they both went outside and into Carlos car and he drove to the hospital.

They met Laura. "Triffany."

"Mom." Triffany ran over to her mother that was crying as tears rolled down her cheek. "Mom where is dad?"

"The doctors are operating on him." Laura held Triffany close to her.

Few minutes later the doctor came out of the surgery room. "Doctor how's my father?" Triffany asked in a haste.

"We have stabilize him, so he had passed the critical stage, but we need to do a blood transfusion else he won't make." The doctor told them as Laura's tears rolled down her cheek.

"I'll do it." Triffany blurted out. Carlos looked at her. "My blood matches my dad's own. I'll do it."

"Triffany." Laura looked at her daughter with a worried expression.

Triffany looked at her mother with a thin smile. "Mom, dad will be okay." She assured her mother and squeeze her hands gently.

"When you are ready let's go." The doctor left as Triffany turned follow him but Carlos held her back.

"Are you sure about this?" He looked into her eyes with his penetrating gaze.

"If that will save my dad, then I'll do it." She told him and Carlos embrace her.

"You'll be okay right?" He was worried but he knew he couldn't stop her from doing it.

"Yes." She was surprised at his sudden care and refrains. "I'll be okay." She turned to her mother. "Mom." She forced at smile in other to make her mother stop worrying.

"Dad and me will be fine. Okay?" She hugged her mother before following the doctor the doctor.

Carlos went to Laura and embrace her. "They will be okay." He pat her back as she sobs on his shoulder. "Triffany and your husband will be fine." He comforts her.

Four hours after the transfusion, Trevor Joey was awake and Laura and Triffany was close to his bedside. Laura held his hands still in tears. "Trevor."

"Dad." Triffany called out with tears welling in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry." Trevor apologized to them.

"I'm glad you are awake." Triffany wipes off her tears. "You made me scared." She was so scared that she will lose him.

"I''m glad you're okay sir." Carlos went closer an puts his hands gently on Triffany's shoulders to comfort her as she looked at his hands and then at him.

Trevor saw him. "Carlos you're here too."

"Yes we came."

"Triffany hugged her father. "Thank you dad, for staying alive."

Trevor pat her back gently. "I won't die now." He assures her and she leans back to look at his face, she was so glad, even though he had some stitches and injuries, he was still alive.

"The doctor said you'll be good to go in three days time, luckily your injury wasn't life threatening." Laura to him.

"You see i will be fine." Trevor smile.

Triffany held her father's hands and smile. "I almost lost my dad." Tears brim in her eyes.

Trevor squeeze her hands slowly. "Hey, don't cry, I'm here." He raised his hand and clean her tears. He looked at Carlos. "It's a little bit late, you both should head home now."

Triffany shook her head. "I'll stay here with you, dad." She said not wanting to separate from her father.

"You both have work tomorrow, you should head home." Trevor look up at Carlos. "Carlos take her home."

Carlos knew he was right, Triffany had cried a lot today and she needs to rest since she had lost some blood too. "Okay." Carlos held Triffany's hand. "Let's go home."

She kissed her father's cheek befor they left the room. Laura follow them out to the door. "Mom, I would love to stay." Triffany told her.

"Your dad is right. I'll look after him, go home and rest now." Laura held her hands. "Tanner is all alone at home and he can't spend the night alone at home."

"We will take him to our house, he can stay with us until your husband is discharged." Carlos told Laura as they both looked at him.

"That'll be so kind of you." Laura smile. "Thank you."

"We're family." Carlos told her with a smile. This word coming from Carlos made Triffany surprise as she looked at him.

"We will head over to your house now and take him. Please take good care of yourself." He told Laura who smiled.

Triffany embrace her mother. "I'll come back tomorrow."

"Goodnight." Laura bide them farewell and went into the hospital as Triffany and Carlos left the hospital.

"Have they left?" Trevor asked her.

"Yes, they will take Tanner with them too." He looked at his wife and gently put his hand close to her cheek.

"I'm sorry, I must have scared you a lot."

"Yes you did." She held his hand he had placed on her cheek. "If you scare me like that again, i will really die." She told him.

"We won't die now Okay?" He held her head and squeezed it gently, staring right at her face.

As they stepped outside the hospital Carlos stopped Triffany, he bends down and tie her shoelaces which was still loose. Triffany look down at some surprise.

"You can't even do a single thing right." He told her and got up after tying it.

Triffany scoffed. "I was in a hurry that's why." She looked at him. "Why were you being so nice in there?" She asked him, he acted like a lovely husband when he was with her parents.

Carlos shrugged and rolled his eyes. "That's because am nice." Who believe this liar, Triffany sighed. "You didn't have to put on the pretence, because you're not nice at all." She told him.

"Please Triffany." Carlos looked at her. "Enough of your dramas, we have to go pick your brother, he must be worried by now." Carlos reminded her.

She looked at him. "As if you care." She rolled her eyes. "We're family". She use his tone of words. "You can stop acting right now."

Carlos smirked. "Okay then." He said nonchalantly and entered his car, pressing the interlock before she could enter. He winds down the glass. "You better find your own car."

"What!" Triffany exclaimed. "You can't do this now, you know i just had a blood transfusion few hours ago. I'm not too strong, so let me in."

"Okay." He smirked. "Then control your mouth." He told her before unlocking the door.

Triffany enter the car as he heads into traffic. "I already know you're heartless, you shouldn't show me." She told him.

"You know I could still drop you off here, and guess what? No buses or taxi's can pick it up." He told her with a smirk.

Triffany looked out of the window and back at him. She knew this was not a common threat, since he had done it before. "Sorry." She apologized.

God, there's no end to his ruthlessness. She pressing her lips together and she looked out of the window while Carlos smiled and continued driving.
