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
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
