Bad for my heart

Chapter 19

I entered the room and saw Carlos on top of her on the couch. I don't know why he cheated on her when he can't even leave her for a second.

"Carlos leave Layla alone." I shouted pushing him. "I am hungry so please stop bothering Layla."

"Mini-Benjamin what are you doing here?" Carlos questioned rubbing his eyes. "It's six in the morning that means you slept over last night. Why didn't you go home?"

"I'm homeless thanks to my ex." I mumbled and Layla went to the kitchen.

"I'm going to take a shower." He tried to walk pass me and I caught his hand. "What's wrong? I can buy you a house if you want. You know you are like a sister to me."

"That's what I thought Carlos." I replied and he looked at me confused. "I trusted you like a sister would trust her brother and you broke ny trust. I trusted you with my best friend someone I call little sister and you cheated on her."

"Shush." He put his hand on my mouth. "How did you find out? Did Jay tell you?"

"So he knows." I said after taking his hand off my mouth. "If you cared just a little about Layla you would've told her. The only reason I didn't tell her is because I don't want to be the one to break her heart after she lost her family."

"Thank you." I walked away from him because I couldn't stand him anymore.

"Charlotte you don't talk to me as much as you used to, what's wrong?" Layla questioned as soon as she saw me standing at the kitchen door.

"I'm pregnant that's all."

"About that, when will you tell Damien?" She asked and I rolled my eyes. "He is the father and as much as I hate him I think you should tell him the truth."

"I want to tell him but I'm scared he will want to be with me just because of the baby." I mumbled.

"Don't be selfish." Layla started. "The baby has a right to know who his or her father is." Sometimes I wish she was close with Sofia so she could tell her this. "And plus Charlotte, Damien must decide if he wants to be part of your baby's life or not."

"Fine. I'll tell him when I find a house." I replied and she looked at me angry. "I can't stay here forever, I have to look for a house Layla."

*******

Damien POV.

Ever since I burned Charlotte's house last week, I have been having nightmares. I can't shake the feeling off that she is up to something or something will happen to her. I hope whatever happens to her makes her stay away from me. I can't deal with Carsons. I was betrayed by one already and Charlotte, she was always just a stupid game to me. I used her and yet she doesn't want to accept defeat.

"Damien, everything is ready. We will be leaving in an hour." Tucker told me. "I'll make sure Moerat is distracted."

"Don't forget to meet us there before two." Deigo shouted and Tucker left. "You didn't sleep last night again?"

"I'm sure it's just because of this mission. I hope you wearing you bulletproof vest." I replied.

"You still having those bad dreams? Come on Damien both your mothers believed in dreams, I know you don't and plus it's been a week since you burned her house, I'm sure she forgot about you and moved on after all she already got a new house."
