Rosalie's POVI was seated on the couch when Camilla told me she was going to the mall and she would be back soon, she seemed happy, I was more than glad she was, I just wanted my daughter to be happy again.Camilla used to be a happy girl while growing up, her father loved her dearly, and she had always made us proud, coming out of college with good grades.Her father passed on later, it was a very difficult time for us but we eventually found the courage to face life again. Camilla inspired me so much and all I did, I did for her. Not until she came home one day and told me she met someone, I was so happy that she had someone in her life, her emotions were all over the place about this guy. Months later, she got engaged. Honestly, I wasn't happy about how fast everything was moving but my daughter was so damn happy "Camilla" I called, a few days after her engagement."Yes Mom" she answered, her face beaming with smiles, I could see how happy she was."Are you sure about settling d
Camilla's POV I got home and cracked the door open. "Mommy is back" Jasmine chimed and ran happily to hug me. I smiled and went down on my haunches and carried her, enveloping her in a warm hug. Zion ran towards me, followed by Athena. Who frowned and pouted her mouth. "Is my turn to hug Mommy" she chimed in, pouting and opening her arms for me to see. I smiled, carried Jasmine down, and gave them a group hug instead. "Mommy, why do you have to spend the night at Aunt Serena's house?" Zion asked as soon as we broke the hug. "Grandma said it's because of work," Athena replied. "Right baby, Mommy had a lot of work and we didn't finish on time, so I decided to sleep over. You guys missed Mommy right?" I asked, my face beaming with smiles. "Yes, Mommy we did" they chorused. "Of course they did, they wouldn't even let me rest since morning, they've been asking about you," Rosalie said as she walked into the living room, a surge of smile plastered on her face. I smiled and cares
Camilla's POVAll I just wanted was to divorce his sorry ass and move on with my kids without making a fuss, even when everyone thought otherwise.I just wanted my sanity and my life back. But, since David wants to play dirty with me, I'm going to show him that two can actually play this game. Now that I think about it, I play good comeback games."Meet him in court then" were my last words to Catherine and I meant it, I mean, why not? I have what it takes now to reduce him to nothing, in front of everyone, and make everyone see him for who he truly is.People might think he's one caring father who couldn't bear the thought of staying away from his kids, hence the reason he's fighting for custody. However that wasn't the case here, he never cared for those kids, he never showed them love and now he wants custody just to spite me. I can't believe that I once loved someone as scheming as David.I'm sure he doesn't have an inkling of what's coming for him, his greatest mistake was abduct
Camilla's POVIt's been four months since the court case ended, and as expected I won. I could remember vividly, the look on David's face when Catherine played the recording, the look of disgust on everyone present on that day was undeniable.People cursed him for being a pathetic husband and father, all in the name of vengeance, which has eaten deep into him and made him forget about humanity.He signed the divorce papers and I also got a restraining order on him, for the threats he lashed out at me on the recording, he was advised to stay far away from me and the kids or face the law if he decides to do anything stupid again to hurt us.Two weeks after the court case, I heard he left town and has not returned since then.I was at peace with myself as well, knowing my Father wasn't guilty of what David accused him of or what he believed my father did to his family.David's father had gone for a dirty operation, which didn't go as planned and he ended up killing a whole family just to
Camilla's POV I watched Marcus play with the kids from the door, much to his oblivion. He bonded with them so well that the connection between them was undeniable. He always makes time for me and the kids, even though he is always busy with work. Whoever brought out that saying that says a man who loves and cares about you will always make time for you, no matter how busy he is was right. With Marcus, everything felt so real. The kids loved him so much and so do I. Even though I tried to mask those feelings, he had shown them so much care that sometimes it overwhelmed me, it felt so surreal, but I was glad to have him in our lives. He made life meaningful for us. He made us feel safe around him. After Marcus told me the reason his wife left him, I felt so bad for him, he found out he couldn't get a woman pregnant two years after he got married. He discussed it with his wife and she promised to be there for him but she eventually left him a year after which left him broken. I know ho

Chapter threeI almost got choked on the food in my mouth when l heard that statement, l raised an eyebrow at my father, l have always known my dad to be an ambitious man, who always gets what he wants "Who is he to control my life?"l said inwardly, all l ever wanted was to be happy, l never imagined that my father will force me into a loveless marriage, at that point l could hear my heart beating faster, A lot of thoughts clouded my mind, l was at the point of losing my chances with my prince charming, a stranger that I have fallen helplessly in love with, l felt a sharp pain in my heart, l shrugged back into my seat waiting for him to explain further "I'm on the verge of losing the family empire Maya," he said dolorously, and l need you to save this family from this impending peril, my father owned one of the most successful construction empires in Batavia, l suddenly felt weak, l wanted to say something but I couldn't "I know you will hate me for this"he continued, but l nee
