View MoreCamilla froze on Maksim’s lap. He could feel the eyes of everyone in the room, but his wife was the only person he paid any attention. Her heart thudded so fast he felt it. But he didn’t want their first kiss to be in public, much more when he hadn’t told her the words she desperately wanted. He was certain he knew them, but when she pulled back and frowned, his confidence wavered.The music sounded like it came from far away as he tried to calm himself. Sliding a hand behind her neck, he pulled her head down and whispered against her lips so no one else could hear him, “Three words, Cam. I am sorry. I fucked up. I hurt you.”His wife’s mouth opened, and she let out a shaky breath. But Maksim had more to tell her. She had been right about a few things. Things about himself he wasn’t necessarily sure he wanted to change but hoped for her acceptance, so they didn’t annoy her as much. He pressed four fingers to her b
That reply almost made Camilla roll her eyes. She also wasn’t a fan of cakes, so she didn’t contribute to the conversation. The DJ switched the song, and she swayed.“How’s work?” Alek asked Christian.One of the men opened the bottles of wine on the table as Christian replied. Soon, the men were discussing random things. Alek tried to carry her along, but they soon fell into talks about real estates, sports, weapons, and many other things she had no idea about. Ariana yawned a few times. Camilla sipped from her glass. The last party she attended with this type of setup where the males dominated was with her sister-in-law. But Hana had made it fun. When Ariana stood, an empty bottle in her grip, Camilla watched her with a scowl. It got all the men to stop talking at once.“You guys are making this boring,” Ariana said. “How about, how about…?”“How about what?” Christian asked. H
The place was crowded. Camilla thought it was a private party. She inched closer to Alek, and he placed a kiss on her temple. Something changed between them in his office. Plus, she had the best sleep of her life after that mind-numbing orgasm. It was so good she had forgiven all his misgivings, though he didn’t use the words she wanted to hear. Besides, he made efforts. He was really sorry, right?“Stay with me,” Alek said. “By my side.”Camilla looked up with a smile, and the tiniest smile touched her husband’s lips. Another thing she had noticed was that he barely smiled around other people. But with her, she had caught him smiling a few times. They were both wearing black. She had a sequin black dress that matched his all-black suit. The man was a lover of black things, and tonight, she appreciated it. They blended too well with the crowd. No one had noticed them enter.“Ready?” Alek asked.“I think so.&rd
Camilla was skittish. Maksim had caught her staring at her phone for the umpteenth time. If only she would discuss the issue with him, so they could find a solution together. Was it the test result? They could try her method. Sex for a month, then the other options Dr Igor gave them. Though surrogacy was out of the question. Papa wouldn’t accept their explanation or the kid.“Are you alright?” Maksim asked. His wife’s head snapped up, and she pointed a finger at her chest. He nodded, and she shrugged. She was not okay. He had invited her to his office, half-expecting her to turn him down, but she followed. They had a party to attend tonight. Christian was hosting them at his club, De Luxe. “If there’s anything you need my help with, all you have to do is ask me, Cam. I’ll do it.”“It’s nothing.”Maksim left her to her own devices while he worked. She was more focused on her phone
Camilla couldn’t keep still. She had been a mess at the auditions yesterday and today. Everyone had noticed that, especially the bitch, Kira. Today had been better than yesterday, but Camilla was still jittery.Alone in front of the building, she waited for Yaro to come around. Why would he leave the place without telling her? She wanted to leave before her co-stars joined her. But seconds passed, and Yaro wasn’t in sight. She had sent him multiple texts.She wouldn’t consider herself a snitch, but she was tempted to report him to his boss. Unlocking her phone, her first instinct was to check the media message she received yesterday. Her plans of reconciling with Alek had flown out of the window as soon as that message entered. She couldn’t tell him. She wouldn’t. But how did anyone get access to this number? So far, only Alek, Yaro, and Ivan knew about this number.What if it was someone close to her? Or him?A familia
Alek walked up to her and pried the bags from her hand, leaving her with just the lunch. He retrieved something from his pocket and directed it to the trunk. The car beeped, and the trunk popped open. He dumped the shopping bags inside and returned to take her hand. His smile was deceptive. She didn’t trust it one bit.“What are you doing here?” she muttered.Alek led her to the backseat and opened the door, but she didn’t enter. His eyes narrowed in warning, and he pointed at the door. She couldn’t get her feet to move.“Where’s Yaro?” Camilla whispered.“I’m taking you home.”A sound caught in Camilla’s throat, and she struggled to force out her words. For some reasons, she imagined the worse had happened. That he was punishing Yaro for the text when it had nothing to do with him. Why did she send him that message?“Alek, please,” Ca
Four nights passed without Alek showing up. Camilla didn’t care about him. She was only curious about his location. He told her he would be late on Monday, not absent for days. Her period ended two days ago, and she was less moody than she had been in days. She wanted to go out. To at least shop for her underwear instead of using what Doris got her. She also missed the shooting lessons.The door opened, and Alek walked in with a tote bag swinging from his hand. He didn’t glance her way as he dumped the bag on a table and strolled to the bathroom.Curiosity almost got the best of her, but she stayed away from the bag. Moments later, Alek stepped out. He hadn’t looked at her once, and it was growing maddening. She was right here, and she was the only one who had the permission to ignore him.Seconds rolled away as he stopped at the table. She had so many questions, mostly about where he had spent the nights. Kira might not be his mistress, but wh
Camilla wasn’t talking to Maksim. Hours had passed since their last conversation in the car, and she hadn’t breathed a word in his direction. At least she called him Alek, and Papa had been informed about the baby. His phone rang. He stared at it, trying to make sense of the letters that formed a name on his screen. It took minutes for him to register the name. Vanya. He massaged his forehead, delaying to answer the call. When he did, none of them spoke. His chest was heavy, like someone thrice his size was sitting on it. He was trying to help her. Why didn’t she see it that way? Maksim was not vile, just a secretive man. No one knew his plans, not even Doris or Ivan. If Camilla had known, her shock might not have been the same. No one doubted his story about them losing their baby, not with Doris telling everyone in the house how pale his wife had gone or how loud she screamed when she saw the blood. The reaction had to be natural, not acted.Vanya cleared his throat, and the phon
Ivan came closer to the car, putting an end to the conversation that had barely started. Camilla gritted her teeth when Alek hoisted her on his lap, his arm around her waist like they were a happy couple.He had to stop forgetting that Ivan didn’t count as public. There was no need to impress his driver. All these thoughts she kept in her head. As the car journeyed to the hospital, the weight in her chest only tightened. Tears burned the back of her eyes, but she didn’t let them fall. She wouldn’t cry in front of this man.The car moved past unfamiliar buildings, stores, and shops. She was nothing more than his toy to do with as he wished, and that hurt so much a sob escaped her. His arms tightened around her, he pulled her in and whispered some Russian to her. She hated him, but right now, she was stuck here. So she cried into his chest, staying that way until the car slowed to a stop.“We can come back another day,” Alek said.
