“I am sorry Alan, but I am already asleep and that won’t be a good idea. Besides driving at night is always dangerous, just go to sleep, we will talk tomorrow” she said politely.‘But your voice is so alert, are you sure you are asleep, Camila? I know you, I know how your voice sounds when you are asleep. Anyway it is okay if you don’t want me to come, I understand because we are just friends.”He was making her feel guilty now and she hated the feeling so much. This was somebody who stood by her in her difficult moments so at least she had to make him feel better.” Let us do this instead” she talked while looking at Samuel’s dark and dangerous eyes.“I will treat you to a homemade dinner tomorrow, okay. I will cook your favourite fish” The man beside her squeezed her shoulder so hard she almost screamed. How could the damn woman offer another man dinner? He was the only one who was supposed to eat at her house not Alan.“I have to go now, Alan, goodnight” “Goodnight Camila” he said
She couldn’t help but to sneer disgustedly. It was not usual for her to hate people and she didn’t hold grudges but still she never liked people who attacked her when she was innocent.“I am sorry Mia, but I have nothing to talk to you about. You messed with my father when I actually didn’t offend you in any way. I don’t even fancy your man in the way that you think, so it gave you no right to think that you can step all over me. I want you to get out and leave me the hell alone” Camila didn’t wish to talk to her.Mia curved her mouth as she looked at Camila, honestly it was hard for her to do this.“I have to say that I crossed the line, but you gave me no choice?” she started to say but Camila interrupted her “Please I am busy now, I don’t want to talk about insignificant things. All I want to know is whether my father’s supplies are already handled?“I kept my word and returned them to him. Just thank your God that Samuel was involved, otherwise I wouldn’t have lifted a finger. I d
“Can’t you feel my joy, I just received the supplies early this morning. Honey, whatever you did, I am so thankful to you. Right now I am working on a tight budget and I really wouldn’t have known how to pay for the lost goods.”Camila understood how money can make someone go crazy, she had experienced this first hand and it has never been a good memory.“Oh….Dad I am so relieved. You know I had to do everything in my power to help you “of course credit goes to Samuel and she wouldn’t start to tell him about it since Luke will start having useless thoughts on his head about her and Samuel.“Camila there is something I meant to tell you but I have been forgetting it every single time. You need to settle down, honey. You need to give that little girl a father so I have an idea, I want you to come to the company. We have a get together party for the employee just to thank them for their patience during these hard times. Please come, who knows, you may meet your partner there. ” Her fath
Samuel noticed her nervousness as she looked around, he knew that in a matter of seconds she will climb inside the car without him lifting his fingers. The damn woman was so cute looking confused.“You are afraid” he said“I am not” Camila denied but the lightning made her jump with fright and Samuel chuckled sarcastically.Camila had always feared rainfall and storm, really she couldn’t stand the lightning. Once she had seen some one being struck by the lightning when she was young and it stuck on her head. She could never forget that day.Camila also looked at her watch and realized that she was already late for picking up Lucky, her only option was to ride with Samuel then after he had dropped them off to the house, she would go to the grocery if the weather allows. If not she would request Alan if he would bring the fish on his way.So she quickly climbed the car while staring at Samuel’s mocking face” I am only riding with you because I will be late and I fear storm, but I want
“Daddy, you are so quite” Lucky suddenly asked.“I am okay baby, it is just that I am concentrating on driving us safely to the house. How was your school today? “Samuel asked.“Good, we had a lot of activities and I learned a lot. I even told my teacher that one day I would like to make dresses for important people just like my mommy. I would like to be the most sought after designer in the world”Camila smiled and caressed her daughter’s hair. Oh…it was so good to see her that hopeful and looking forward to a beautiful future, something that she was denied when she was a child. Tears of joy travelled down her face as she admired Lucky.“Me too, daddy” Leo replied. “But there is something that we would like to ask the both of you. We didn’t know what to tell the teacher”Camila became curious” what it is honey, did something happened to you at school”“No…it is just that our teacher said that there will be a class meeting day tomorrow and all the kids are expected to come with the bo
Samuel by now knew what to expect from her, so he replied” I am leaving then, Camila. Take care and don’t cook for other people” he had to make sure to remind her.“Gosh… you are so unbelievable, you are acting like a jealous husband ““Yeah….. very soon I will be” he replied and then drove away with a sheepish grin on his face. Camila looked at the car at a daze. The man was getting deeper and deeper in to her life, she must not allow it or her plans will never go through.Of course he can offer her the kind of a life she and dreamed of but she just didn’t trust him, men were never to be trusted as much as they present themselves as angels. She believed in making her own money than depending on another man’s money. If she would have had money back then, she wouldn’t have sold herself and ended up giving birth to children that she didn’t even know their father.Once she had enough money, she would start searching for her son, she knew that she would be able to face the billionaire wh
“Guys, haven’t you seen him on TV, the man is none other than Samuel Hudson, the one and only heir of Hudson groups.” Another woman who seemed to know more explained. She was also surprised to see the man in real life.“Well now that you are talking about it, I have realized that he looks like a familiar figure, but I thought he only had a son. No one knew his mother but the man was never interested in women. When did he get married?“I don’t know, maybe it would be better if you would ask him yourself because recently I saw a hot rumor going on the social media that he was sleeping with one of his designers. Oh…..Is she the one?” “Just mind you own business, we came here for the kids, quit bothering others, if the man is really married he is doing a good job at hiding it. He doesn’t want people to know and I think we are privileged to see his wife or mistress, whatever you might want to think about it ““Yes…if you go ahead and ask him about his personal life, he might get offended,
“Now parents we are at the last stage. We would give each family a score for assignment completed well and then we will announce the winner at the end of this event. Please try as much as possible to bond with your kids and also don’t forget to enjoy yourself. It is one of a kind opportunity and you will never find it anywhere in the world, I promise you that most of you parents don’t even have time for their kids, it is work 24/7 and at the end of the day it is us teachers who are left with them most of their times.”They started with solving puzzles, Samuel and the kids managed to finish on time. Camila too contributed from time to time. And at the end she just found herself enjoying playing with Samuel and the kids. Each family was given a different scenarios and the most interesting thing was that the kids gets to choose what they wanted to do.Leo and Lucky giggled cheekily and chose to play soccer. It meant that contribution from every member was needed. Unfortunately it happen
