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
Chapter 27Lucien's POV…It has been two days and Camilla and I have not said a word to each other. I am someone who is not used to explaining things, but giving commands and I even don’t know how to express my feelings well, because honestly, this is something I am experiencing for the first time in my life.I thought that letting her be and giving her time to cool off will solve things between us but I can feel that we are drifting apart as days go by.She has been extremely busy these past few days, she will always be asleep when I come home and she will leave early before I wake up. She was purposely avoiding me.I did not want our relationship that has been doing great to change. I feel like it is time to solve the issue between us and live like we have been living before.So today I decided to book a private room at one of the best restaurants in the city and sent her a text.“Meet me at pearl hotel, six o’clock. Dinner is on me.”I thought that she will probably ignore me like
Chapter 28Lenox's POV…I don’t know what has been wrong with me the past few days but I couldn’t stop thinking about Camilla.That day, I saw with my own eyes how she prevented a tragic accident from happening. I have never known that she is a fighter and it took me by surprise.Since the day that she left the office after confronting me, I haven’t laid my eyes on her and I missed her every single day until I thought that I was going crazy.I had this strong urge to just see her but I did not know where to begin because she left her home and I did not have an address of the place she was currently staying.Then on that day, I stumbled upon her but she was busy saving everyone and by the time I reached where she was, she was already fainting. Holding her in my arms gave me a joyous feeling that I have never felt before. It was like I was picking up my treasure after a long time of trying to find it.I have never been fond of her before because she has been too clingy and too plain. Bu
Chapter 29Camilla's POV…I was glad that Lucien took the initiative to mend things between us. Although I pretended to be okay the past two days, I was not okay.I thought that just like Lenox, Lucien will also reject me so I did not have the courage to start up a conversation with him. I thought that he will find me to be the opposite of what he thought, and then regret accepting me.Honesty, I was angry at him after he shouted at me that day, but after I watched the clip that he mentioned, I became angry at myself instead. If I were in his shoes, and he was the one exposing himself to danger and disregarding his life, I would have reacted even worse.I had been a total fool to do what I did! So, what if I saved everyone, no one will remember me and no one will come to say thank you. And then there was this part of me being hugged by Lenox, I could not believe my eyes when I saw it.So, when Lucien sent the text to meet up for dinner, I was hesitant because I thought that he was def
Chapter 30Camilla's POV…After Lucien felt better, he went to take a shower as I went to set the table. I turned on the television as I waited for him in boredom.“Good morning our wonderful viewers, today is such a beautiful morning. This is TV X and we have some exclusive news that will excite everyone.”“We know that everyone has been asking themselves about this mysterious young master called Lucien Hart. He is probably the youngest alpha in the history to take over such a huge pack and he is also the youngest CEO of Hart empire and his wealth and power cannot be rivaled.” The TV host stated, and it immediately attracted my attention after hearing Lucien's name.I raised the volume and listened intently.“Although we don’t know much about him, but it is certain that someone on Lucien's level must already have a wife or maybe a girlfriend since he is such a powerful alpha, but yesterday he was seen exiting pearl hotel with a mysterious lady in his arms and one of our reporters hap
Chapter 31Camilla's POV…I did not even dare to breathe out loud for the fear of provoking him further. His face was getting darker and darker and I knew that a bloody battle was about to happen.“I am giving you ten minutes; I don’t want to see any of the news anywhere. If possible, close down all those TV stations and any cite that dare report about this.” I heard him say in an extremely cold voice. He was truly enraged and there was no way of salvaging the situation.My mind span quickly as I thought of ways to calm his rage.“Darling, calm down, okay!” I tried to appease him. Although I was also mad that someone used such dirty tricks to defame me and ruin my reputation, I did not want him to be stressed about it.“How can I calm down when they are saying such horrible things about you? Aren’t you bothered even a bit?” I heard him ask, and my heart trembled a little.“Of course, I am bothered and I wish I could skin that person alive. But it is just that they don’t know the relat
Chapter 32Elisa's POV…I have not been this happy and pleased since the ballroom party. Seeing all the negative comments and curses directed at Camilla, I felt thrilled and so happy that I did not even feel like eating breakfast.I just wanted to laugh out loud like a maniac and release all the anger that I have been accumulating.“Haha Camilla, you thought that just because you hooked up with Lucien, I cannot do anything to you? Look at your embarrassing photo online, I bet that you are too afraid to even peek outside your house, right? But you deserve all these for going against me. Who told you to seduce Lenox?Just wait until Lucien dumps you! Haha… hahaha!”“Little sweetheart, why are you so happy this morning? Did anything good happen to you?” it was my mom’s voice that brought me back to my senses. But even so, I could not hide the huge smile that was plastered on my face.“Mom, why are you up so early?” I asked as I held her hand and brought her into my room.“I always wake u
Chapter 33Lenox's POV…Although I wanted to so badly ask Elisa if she was the one responsible for the news circulating about Camilla, I did not have the courage to ask her directly.I know that she is still mad at me for how I treated her yesterday but that cannot justify her actions. The other reason why I am so patient with her is because her father is playing a major role in choosing me to be the most favored candidate to contest against Lucien, if I made her unhappy, I might just invite unwanted trouble.Until I am one hundred percent sure that everything is going my way, I have to trade carefully.So, I had no choice but to book a table so that we can have breakfast together.At the famous breakfast restaurant…I was browsing on social media, seeing all the insult thrown at Camilla, and I was not feeling good about it.The news has now spread and it was #number one trending news on all search feeds. With every comment that I read, my heart constricted and it felt that it was bei
