Chapter 14Camilla's POV…I could see the astonishment in every one’s eye as they looked at the video. As for the three fucking bitches, I did not have to turn to look at the them to see the expression on their faces.‘It must be quite entertaining.’ I thought.The video continued to play. Brenna was seen coming back sneakily and dropped something in my shopping cart while I was still apologizing to Emily. It was clearly the bottle of red wine that I have been accused of stealing.“Officers, I think you already have everything you need and you now know that I am innocent, please if you may excuse me, I need to leave.” I said to the leading officer.I have wasted enough time already. The bodyguards that I had told to wait in the car must be wondering what is taking me so long.It was also two hours’ drive from here to Lucien's villa, thus that could only leave me with a few hours to prepare dinner.“Manager, make sure you investigate this properly maybe someone in deed wanted to steal
Chapter 15Camilla's POV…I don’t know how the bodyguards found out what happened at the supermarket but I warned them not to tell Lucien anything.He has already done more than enough and I did not want him to keep worrying about me.“Please, don’t tell him anything. They were just mad dogs barking without bite. I have already dealt with it.”“Yes ma’am.”It was around midday when we left the supermarket. I was glad that there was not a lot of traffic jam so we arrived home within one and a half hours. I did not have time to waste, I hurriedly took a quick shower and chased away all the cooks from the kitchen before I started making dinner. I did not want their help because I knew I could manage on my own.In the West pack, I could cook from dawn till dusk, so this was totally nothing. Before I got used it, living as servant, I would almost faint after doing so much work, but I was like a slave, so saying that you are tired and you wanted to rest was always out of question unless you
Chapter 16Lucien's POV…I could not wait for the day to end just so I could see her. She was the only thing in my mind for the whole day and I could not even concentrate on my work.I only wanted to see her and hear her voice but I did not want to disturb by video calls. I tried my best to concentrate on my work before I stopped everything and went to see her.When I reached home in the evening and saw her busying herself in the kitchen to make me dinner, a warm feeling bubbled in my heart but before I could get a hold of it, it vanished.It has already been a week and although she had already opened up to me and told me everything that there is to know about her, her heart was still closed off but I did not rush her because I knew that she was in a healing process.If I rushed her and something unexpected happens in the future, it will be a devasting blow to the both of us.I could only wait for her patiently as she fully heals because if she did not get rid on the knot in her heart
Chapter 17Camilla's POV…I woke up the following morning with a splitting. I only had a glass of wine, why was my head hurting like it was about to fall off my neck? Even if it was my first-time drinking, it wouldn’t have been this worse, right? What kind of wine had Brenna stolen?I remember Lucien saying that it was one of a kind, then that might be true, or else how I could explain this hangover after only taking one glass.I forced myself to wake up and go to the bathroom. I was feeling groggy and my eyes were not fully opened. It was only after I splashed myself with cold water, did it clear a little.I took a shower and by the time I left the bathroom, I was feeling slightly better.In the bedroom, a note was waiting for me on the bedside table as usual. Lucien has never left without leaving a note informing that he has already left for work and I should have a good day, but today there were additional words on the note…‘Remember your promise yesterday, we did not do it. Wait
Chapter 18Camilla's POV…“I felt it to the point that I was drowned into it.” I said sarcastically.“If we were really mates and you did not see our relationship as a business transaction, then why did you leave me? Answer me Lenox, why did you utter such hurtless words?” I asked. Although I had already calmed down a lot over the past days, seeing his indifferent face still made my heart hurt.I have been a stupid being all those years to have even fallen for someone like him. He did not have a heart and took relationships like they were some kind of business transactions.If someone had told me that one day Lenox will leave me, I would have argued with them until they had no words to defend themselves, but now that the truth was right before my eyes, I did not know how to face it.But I knew it was better to face everything sooner because the more this feeling stayed in my heart, the more it will be hard for me to accept someone else.“I think I have gotten all the answers that I ne
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
