Chapter 19Camilla's POV…“Grandfather is dying? Where did you hear such vile news from?” how did I not know of something like that? Who is the one spreading such disgusting news about my grandfather?”“It was the old madam who said it. She said that she went to visit your grandfather in the hospital but she was told that he has been transferred. She tried asking in different hospitals but there were no records of your grandfather being admitted in them so she assumed that you are unfilial and you have taken your grandfather out of the hospital so that he could die.”“What?” I was extremely shocked by Anita's words.‘I took my grandfather out of the hospital so as to let him die?’ ha ha it seemed that the old woman could not wait for my grandfather to die.If that was the case, then I will make sure that they are extremely disappointed.“Thank you Anita for telling me all these. I did not expect that a lot has happened just in a week’s time I have been away.”I made my way to the hous
Chapter 20Camilla's POV…The flames were getting hotter and hotter and I could feel myself being engulfed in them. This was my worst nightmare, one that I have never wanted to remember, but now it was right before my eyes.I did not know how long it was, but I knew that I had reached a breaking point and there is no going back. I could not continue to leave with this guilty anymore.…When I woke up, I was lying on a huge and soft bed and a gentle and warm hand was caressing my back lightly. I thought that I was already in heaven, reunited with my parents who had already forgiven me. But when I looked up and saw Lucien's cool face, I was astonished.How did I end up here? I tried to move my body but it felt so heavy that I could not even lift a finger.“You are awake?” his cool voice sounded a little distant when he asked the question, startling the hell out of me. Ever since we met, Lucien has been nothing but gentle to me. When did he become so distant?“What…!” my voice was hoarse
Chapter 21Camilla's POV…The words the Liam told me struck a chord in my heart. I never knew how much I meant to Lucien although he has said it over and over again. I thought he was just trying to win me over with his sweet words. I never knew that he meant every word he said to me from the very first day we met up to now.Although I always felt happy in his company, I have been warning myself several times not to repeat the same mistake. Isabela has already accepted him as our mate and it was only me who was still hesitant.I just felt that all these was too good to be true. How could someone like Lucien possibly be my mate? although I always maintained a positive outlook when I was in his company, the moment he left me alone, I would think about all sorts of possibilities.But after hearing Liam's words, I just realized how selfish I have been. Although I have always been telling him to give me time, in my heart, I haven’t been really doing anything. I just feared that history will
Chapter 22 Camilla's POV… It has been a few days since I regained my strength. I did not want to waste a single day and immediately started my training. I wanted to become better and stronger so that I can have the courage and pride to stand side by side with him. Lucien had a gym at home and it was well equipped and he even hired professional trainers for me. Although it was very tiring at the start, to me, it was a fulfilling experience and I enjoyed every moment of it. He has also helped me to retrieve my precious box from the West family and my grandfather was already awake, I did not know how to describe my joy. Good news kept pouring in and I was dying from happiness. “That is enough for today, you will continue tomorrow.” it was Lucien's voice as he came over with a wet towel to wipe my face and hands. It has been like this for a few days and he has even moved his work from office to home just to accompany me. “One more round.” I said, my eyes sparkling and my body feeling
Chapter 23Camilla's POV…Just a smile and my knees have already turned weak, what about the other women who he has been in contact with, were they also swept off their feet with a single glance from him?“I have actually never had a girlfriend.” I heard his voice whispering in my ear. I did not know when he came so close to me. His hot breath lingered on my ear, making it so hot that I thought it had caught fire.But I was sober enough to understand his words and immediately replied, “liar.”“Why should I lie to you?” he asked as he started nibbling on my ear with his hot and wet tongue.It was a sensitive spot for me and it sent a shocking feeling through my body.“It is because you are too good looking. Has anyone never tried seducing you?” I asked, not at all convinced by his words. With this generation of crazy people, I won’t be surprised if he had a fling or two, let alone women throwing themselves at him.He had the looks and the money, what will prevent a lady from approachin
Chapter 24Camilla's POV…The following day, I woke up early in a brilliant mood. Today I will not be training since I am going to visit my grandfather.He has already been discharged from the hospital and Lucien has taken him to one of his private villas to recuperate. He was slowly getting back to his feet and I was relieved.“Good morning!” a cool voice greeted me and a hot kiss fell on my lips before I could even reply. My reaction was slow since I have just woken up and the kiss seemed to be the best medicine for sobering me up.“You, I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet.” I said as I tried to close my mouth and push the hungry man away.“It tastes sweet.” The man mumbled. Was he nuts? Why don’t I remember morning breathes tasting sweet? He just wanted to have his way so he came up with such a lousy excuse.“Uh, why are you still here? Didn’t we agree that you will start going to the office today?” I inquired. I have already gotten better and I did not want him to keep worrying ab
Chapter 25Camilla's POV…“Stop messing around, I am driving.” Lucien said after hearing the honking of cars behind us.“I just wanted to give you a peck and it was you who deepened the kiss, how is it now my fault?” I asked. This man knew how to easily shift the blame, didn’t he?He is clearly the one messing around and now he is blaming me?“It is because you seduced me first.” The man answered shamelessly. He did not even blink.“Okay dear, don’t get me wrong. I momentarily lost control; it is all my fault. Don’t worry, I won’t cause a traffic jam next time.”…After the little mishap, we reached grandfather’s house. From his anxious expression, I could tell that he has been waiting for a long time.“You are finally here, my child?”“Yes grandpa, how are you feeling? Have you taken your medicine?” I asked as I held his old and already wrinkled hand. Just a few years have passed and grandfather has already aged so much. If the surgery had been delayed any further, grandfather might
Chapter 26Camilla's POV…Something is not right; I can feel it.My instructors told me to always follow my instincts when I sense danger, because that is the only way I will be able to save myself.I was wondering what was with the weird feeling that I was suddenly feeling, when a speeding motorcycle came from the opposite direction as the driver was about to turn to another lane.“Watch out!” I shouted because I could already tell that the motorcycle was headed towards our direction and it wanted to hit our car.Its glaring lights were so bright, it was as if death was staring right at me, ready to open the gates of hell for me.Without thinking, I limped forward, opened the driver’s door and immediately jumped out with the driver who has already freaked out.I did not want to think about anything and just wanted to save myself.The car did not stop moving and the speeding bike rammed into it head on, sending the driver flying a few meters away. I thought it was over but then from t
