~Camila’s POV~ Welling up in tears as I hugged Luke so tightly as though my life depended on it. How come Luke knows so much about me, the pictures I took with Chris before I made sure they were not published? How did Luke know that Chris was my husband? After that, I overheard him say, “Do you trust me, Camila?” I’m not sure how to respond to his question because I’ve just met Luke, but he looks like the type of person who would never judge me. I nodded, unsure of what Luke intended to accomplish. “Before you became Camila Grayston, you were Camila Mendoza, and I’ll be damned if I watched you suffer at the hands of that ungrateful man.” He said as he hoisted me up and escorted me inside the building. I’m not sure I’m ready to accept such an act out of the blue, but I’m going to trust Luke. He instantly laid me down once we were inside the building. After that, he switched back to being my assistant. What the devil was that? I swear I was as red as a tomato. The way I feel is c
~Camila’s POV~I couldn’t believe what my son was saying. When I thought I was having a pleasant day, he now asked to see his father!“Baby, why do you want to visit your dad?”He looked at me puzzled, but he then responded.“Mom! I just miss him. Could you please let me see him?”I examined the time.“Alright, sweetie, just wait for me.”I was pacing back and forth when I entered my room. I brushed my hair back with my hand, suddenly feeling all tired. Is it truly necessary for me to visit Chris? What if we get into a fight? At the moment, I am not in the mood to fight. I’ve entered a new chapter in my life that excludes him, and my son now wants to visit him. What is the matter with Liam? He has never been fond of his father; why is he requesting to visit him now? Did he hear about the two women who were expecting his father’s babies? Why does Chris continue to do this to me? For the love of God, he must consider his son. I grumbled and got my laptop off the table. I descended the s
~Christopher’s POV~ We made our way to the dining room table. My wife was not at the table as we were going to eat. I lifted my head to see if she was nearby. “Do not bother; she is not going to eat.” “Why?” “I spotted her heading to the wine cellar.” I started eating with Liam, but I’m not comfortable eating while my wife is drinking. Taking a tray, I placed both my food and hers on it, then stood up. "Liam, do you mind if Daddy has dinner with mommy?" I saw him giving me the cutest smile. I took that as a 'yes' and left. I know she will not be in our room. As a result, I made my way to the guest room she was constantly using. I knocked and walked in. Camille was guzzling. I could see she was restraining herself from looking at me. I guess I’m a little too much of a jerk for my own good. “According to Liam, you haven’t eaten,” I said as I entered the guestroom. She stood up and went into the bathroom to wash her hands after looking at the tray. I’m left standing alone, staring
~Camila’s POV~“I want you to be as strong as possible. You will hear a lot of things about me.”I crossed my legs in an attempt to avoid what was oozing from my sex.“Camille, I sincerely love you. I honestly mean it. I’ve committed numerous heinous acts. I betrayed us, I betrayed our bond. I have loved you from the first time I set my eyes on you, but I fought my feelings. Each time I fought how I felt, I would end up in the hands of another. I fell short of your and Liam’s expectations. Not once, not twice, but an infinite number of times. I just want you to know that no one else is pregnant for me and there will never be anyone, except for you. I’m very sorry for the pain I’ve caused you over the months, now going to a year of our marriage. I was foolish and was averse to confessing my feelings to you. However, I’m going to tell you how I feel about you right now, not because I want to have my way with you, this has been how I felt about you, from the day we married. When you walk
~Christopher’s POV~This is going to be the most difficult night of my life. I brought her here for a reason. Camille genuinely desires me, yet I am unable to provide her with what she desires at the moment. Why did I dare to enter these bed sheets naked? There is no way one of us will not cross the line. Camille is inebriated, and I would be the worst husband in the world if I did anything with her right now. Meanwhile rejecting her would only serve to demonstrate to her that I still perceive her as a young girl. I’m going to have to think quickly before she leaps on top of me. She seemed to be hell-bent on forcing us to work. However, this is not the right time. She turned and gazed deeply into my eyes as if she wished to understand me. We haven’t even gotten to know each other since we got married. I am the worst husband imaginable. She then leaned closer. Daring me not to look away, she moved way too close that I could feel her breath and pressed her lips on mine.Fuck!I’m not su
~Camila’s POV~I opened my eyes to be greeted by the lovely face of my husband. Is this man truly aware of how fortunate he is to be loved by a lady who will never abandon him, regardless of the circumstances? I shifted to his side as he shifted to mine, and he instantly began kissing me, but his kiss was different in some way. It’s intense, involving a plethora of feelings. I swear I caught a glimpse of regret in his eyes. He looked like a man on the verge of losing everything. I brushed the thought away.“Good morning!” I said to him. However, when I rubbed my palm across his bare chest, he continued to stare at me. He’s different. What is wrong?“Good morning,” he answered.Being this close to him fills me with an overabundance of ideas. His muscular chest pressing against my bare chest makes me crave more of him. He managed to caress my hair to the side, exposing my neck and ear. He started to tenderly kiss my neck, which created butterflies in my tummy. Our mouths locked each oth
~Camila’s POV~It was only after I screamed at Chris and Mark I noticed my husband’s face was full of regret. I mean, my ex-husband, but why? Why does he feel bad about what he did? That is precisely what he wanted.Why would he need to bring along a buddy when he divorces me? Wow, Chris is awe-inspiring! Mark was pity-stricken for me, as he continued to look at me. Why? This is what I did to my pathetic self. My relationship with this scumbag should have been over months ago. In this marriage, he has been nothing more than a whore. There were a million reasons for me to divorce this dickhead. But I didn’t, my body suddenly started freezing. I was brutally cold. I didn’t like the woman I was becoming. I didn’t like the woman this divorce had made me. Mark left, but the bumbling moron stayed. As my hands lay on top of my work desk, I squeezed my fingers together and then pressed my head on top of them. I grinned. I’m not sure why, but I smiled and extended my hand toward the fucking ne
~Camila’s POV~His gentle caresses were calm and comforting. Why does he continue to be concerned about a girl he has recently divorced? We were finally making strides in our marriage. Is it possible that I offended him? What did I do to coerce him into divorcing me? I thought marriages were for better or worse. What am I trying to convey? Chris, on the other hand, does not believe that. My marriage to him was a second marriage for him. I was stunned to see tears streaming down my face. I have a slew of questions for him, but I am unable to ask them. It was entirely his choice. His gaze drifted into my eyes. I’m resisting the urge to weep like a baby in front of this jerk. I am devastated and am beginning to doubt my abilities as a wife and as a mother. I couldn't save my marriage. What makes me think that I am good enough to be Liam's mother? Am I a good mother at all? Is there anything I’m particularly excellent at? When Chris looked at me, my eyes were locked on his. It was as if w
