The Revenge of Carlotta

A Phoenix Arises 

To men, Carlotta Carmtarez was a siren of exquisite beauty, to women she was the Devil Incarnate. To everyone who knew her, or knew of her, Carlotta was like a phoenix. Always rising from the ashes, and each time more dangerous than her serene beauty would have you believe possible.

Carlotta knew how to play the power game and use her sexuality to her advantage. She could be alluring one moment, and devastating cruel the next. Nobody was safe when Carlotta was in the mood for vengeance, and there were very few times when revenge was not on her mind.

Since her late teens, Carlotta had been building an empire, and working her way across Europe making deals here, there, and everywhere. One thing which puzzled people was nobody knew why she was doing it, 

Carlotta was wealthy beyond belief, so money wasn't an issue for her. She had a good lifestyle, and children who adored her, so the family was not the problem. Because people could not see the reason for her actions, people became more worried as time wore on, and this led to more rumors of what she was doing and why she was doing it. 

The enigma that Carlotta had become, worried one group of people the most; the Granorola family of Cadiz. The family had a history with Carlotta's family which was kept a secret that the Granorolas never told people about, even the children were kept in the dark about what happened many years before they were born, but the Carmtarez family were the opposite, all the children knew what had happened to grandpa.

One day, the Granorola family received a telegram from the Carmtarez family lawyer, it was only politeness on behalf of Carlotta. Requesting an audience with the board of directors of the bank.

Carlotta lay on her bed watching as the clock hands turned, smiling seductively to her lover, Georgio, she said, "It will soon be time for the showdown, they have no idea what is going to happen at the meeting; while I have the whole plan laid out."

Georgio smoothed her long legs, then replied, "I have known you for years, yet you scare me at times, my love. I am pleased I never made an enemy of you' you devour men like a boa devours its prey."

She smiled seductively, then commented, "If we weren't going out I'd take you now. You know what to say to arouse my passion to red hot."

He laughed and replied sarcastically with a wink, "Here I was thinking all you wanted me for was my driving skills."

Crossing and uncrossing her legs, Carlotta replied, "Naughty Georgio, I thought we'd got passed that question months ago."

"We have, but you know how much I love to tease you about our different lifestyles."

Carlotta winked, and said, "Some would look at us, and think, she likes a bit of rough on the side. We know the truth, I may have wealth now, I never forget my roots."

"That, my dear, is what makes you so desirable and yet so dangerous. You have played the game of power from both sides, so you know what it takes to win. You get as much pleasure from winning as from seeing your oppenent suffer, even if you lose the war, which is a rarity for you."

She replied, "The chase is greater than the victory, my darling Georgio," as she licked her lips like a snake sniffing the air for the scent of its prey.

"Do you think you can win this time?"

Tapping the folder on her lap, Carlotta replied, "With what's in the folder I can't lose. The question is what price are they willing to pay for my silence? They know, I can and will take them down if they fight the takeover. My advantage I've made no attempt to hide how I got were I am, and they have many secrets."

Georgio smiled, then winked at Carlotta, and said "You can be a wicked lady when you wish to be, Carla baby."

Carlotts licked her lips sensually, and replied, "Georgio, you know how hearing you say that excites me. I want you here, and now."

Always willing to please Carlotta, he rose slowly from the driver's seat, brushed his clothes down; then got out and walked to the rear. Sitting provocatively, crossing and uncrossing her legs, Carlotta awaited her lover.

He slowly opened the rear door, at the same time, she let her dress rise exposing her upper thighs - not that Georgio needed encouragement - he was always passionate in her presence.

She winked at her lover, then said, " I see you're as excited about this session as I am; it's good to know I still arouse you after all our years together."

He smiled, and replied, "It would take a lot for me not to be aroused by my Carla baby."

Gorgio sat next to Carlotta, genlty running his hand up her thigh; with his gentle touch he could sense where her stockings ended, and her skin began. Slowly, he moved his fingers across her panties, caressing her mound as she opened her legs to accept hs tenderness.

They stayed close for about a half and hour, before they clmaxed; the as they sat in peace, Georgio said, "You have time to freshen up before the meeting. Shall I drive you home."

Without stopping to consider her actions, she repled, "No, entering like this will give me an extra edge. Seeing me ruffled and having the scent of our loving will drive the men crazy, and get the women jealous as I know some of them want you as much as I do, Georgio."

Georgio blinked, rose from his postion, and said "Will that be all, ma'am?"

Perplexed by the changes in his manner, she replied, "What is the wrong, why have you become so formal?"

He never blinked as he replied, "If you don't know, the meeting will give you the time to think of what has happened."

Shocked, she said, "If we have time before the meeting, why not go to our special place to talk this over, Georgio?"

"I'd rather not, if it's all the same. I saw a nice spot not far from here were we can sit and talk when you return."

"What's wrong with our special spot, Georgio?"

He shtugged his broad shoulders, then commented, "I'll expain on your return. While you plan your revenge on those who wronged you, and your family, it would be wise to take a few moments to consider if you have wronged others, Ma'am."

Carlotta was shaken, she loved Georgio so much, but she had no idea how she may have wronged him, For now, she had business to conectrate her mind on; she needed to be at her most ruthless to win this war, and she had all the power, ambition, and ammunition to do so at her fingettips.

Unabashed, at least to the outsiders, she walked up the stairs, and pushed the door to the lounge open; then without missing a step, she said, "Ladies, and Gentleman, before you, you have my plan for a take-over. This can be done one of three ways, depending on if you wish to give in peacefully, and maintain your standards, or if you want a fight - which I shall win."

There followed a silence so profound the ticking of the clock in the corner sounded like a waterfall in full flow. To break the silence, Carlotta said, "I don't expect your answer today, we can meet here next week at this time. The plan is easy to understand, the easy way is to sign over 5% of your share to me, this gives me control of the company, and your secrets will go no further. Part B, if you decide to fight, you have to recall my past is public knowledge, you have nothing to gain from smearing me, but a lot to lose. If you bring up my pasr, be prepared for the press to examine your past to see what made you do this action. Part C, if I meet with an accident in the next two years, my daughter, Charlene will be given a probate of will, to do what she sees fit; if you think I can be mean, I will tell you here and now, do NOT cross her; she will tear you to pieces in public."
