A LOVE WORTH INVESTING Fleeting dreams
Camilla's POVThe whole scenario was beginning to take a toll on me. From Ariana's disappearance to dealing with her mother and now this narcissist of a man just won't let me be for a short while. My mother's illness was a constant reminder for me anytime the thought of backing out of the present circumstances popped up in my head.Blaine's nudge jolted me from my thoughts. " Go wait in my office, I'll send my assistant to you" that was what I heard him say. The gaze of the directors,if that's what they're called,were fixed on me. It felt like they were contemplating on whether to welcome me and when they finally did,I responded jovially.Suddenly,I realized that I made a wrong move. The real Ariana never paid heed to the greetings of any being below her status. The shocked expression on their faces proved it all.I felt a tickling breath on my ear and shivered slightly."You're in big shit"Blaine whispered to me with a piercing gaze that was strong enough to strike me down,if it was
A LOVE WORTH INVESTING A life of luxury
Camilla's POV"This is my penthouse. When we get married officially, we'll move to the mansion which was meant to be the family's main house", Blaine explained as soon as the driver parked in front of a large house that was screaming luxury."What the hell???" I was flabbergasted. A house as big and expensive as this one was just temporary,there was still a main house. What guts do these rich people have to throw money away like that? My anger was at its peak. I couldn't even sort out my own mother's hospital bills and had to rely on a pompous show off to pay it."Welcome home master and milady" an old man who walked out of the building greeted with a bow and led the way into the house.As if sensing my curiousity, Blaine whispered to me "this is the house butler, Charles. He knows about your true identity so don't bother putting up an act"I raised an eyebrow at his words "how come he knows?" I asked."I don't hide anything from him. He's one of my closest person and you can always a
A LOVE WORTH INVESTING A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Camilla's POVI was surprised when I walked into yet another mansion in my few days of being Ariana. This one dazzled even more than Blaine's. I was quick to catch his warning gaze. I lowered my head instinctively. He grasped me strongly by my upper arm and pulled me thisclose but not close enough for our bodies to touch.“This is my whole extended family we'll be meeting tonight. I don't want you blowing our cover. You're a high profile business owner. Eat, drink, speak and laugh like one. Understood?"I looked up at him out of the corner of my eyes. He had made his point. When I am in the confines of my room, I still have my hearty laughter. It's just that I feel somewhat insulted by this singular act.“Have they met Ariana before?"He let go of my arm and stuffed his hands into his pockets. If only he could touch me with the amount of kindness and respect that I desired.“Yes, a couple of times, and attitude-wise, you're nothing like her. You don't know how to put up a cold front,
A LOVE WORTH INVESTING HIDDEN AGENDAS
Blaine's POVI got out of the car before her and stomped into the mansion. I told Charles to help her out with the bags. The maid also followed him. While I was at the dinner, my phone had buzzed a bit too frequently. I rushed up to my study and checked my call logs. It was the family lawyer. Whatever had gone wrong? I dialed his number.“Hello? I'm sorry about that. I thought you were at dinner too."“I think someone wants to dig up our case again. I don't know what this person is driving at but I know you understand the consequences should this case be reopened."I rubbed my forehead frantically. Why now? Why here, at this point? Everything my family had fought for."But there weren't any documents for evidence of all charges. You know that.”"Yes, but who knows what they have up their sleeves this time. I hope it's rather an individual than the state.”"I hope so too. We can't stand another scandal at this point.”Just then, Camilla opened the door and walked in like a ghost."I've
A LOVE WORTH INVESTING A GLIMPSE OF THE TRUTH
Blaine's POV“Oh shit!"I reached for the digital clock and put it off. I had made a mental note to wake up early today. I had to go see the lawyer and make arrangements for the case to be closed. Whoever this person was that was requesting a reopening of my family's case, had to be be in need of a little money. And I will gladly offer more than a little.Mr Charles was up already but I couldn't find Rosalena in the kitchen.“No breakfast?"He turned to look at me.“Blaine. You're up already? I thought to heat up something for you from what Ms George came back with last night. Rosalena is quite disoriented this morning."“What happened?" I asked as I walked over to the kitchen counter.“She had broken two mugs this morning while trying to make coffee and she burnt the last steak."All in the space of a few minutes before I woke up.“Please, find out from her what the issue is and give me the feedback. She can take the day off. I have an appointment to catch up with."I noticed the way
A LOVE WORTH INVESTING CONFRONTING THE PAST
Camilla's POV“Alright, Mr Charles. I'll join her in the kitchen. Thanks for the information aforehand."“Alright. I'll be off now."He closed the door and I exhaled heavily. That was a close call. I couldn't have risked being caught at that moment. I shut down the computer and looked up at the shelf again. My eyes were fixed on the file, and I suddenly understood that my view of the Sanders had changed forever. Did they use all that money for their family business? But how come they aren't as rich as the Bernados? From what I have observed, I think this marriage between Ariana and Blaine is more of a strengthening of contracts and alliances. Does Ariana's family know about this?I took my cup of ice cream and went down to the kitchen to join Ms Rosalena. I saw her by the counter.“Good morning, Ms Rosalena."She jerked back to the present. I guessed she had long dissociated from her immediate surroundings.“Ah…Ms Bernado. I'm sorry. Good morning. I was…I was carried away in my though
A LOVE WORTH INVESTING A CRISIS OF IDENTITY
Camilla's POVHe almost choked on the very air he breathed. My satisfaction knew no bounds. I guess he could finally have a taste of his own medicine and be in my shoes. His face turned white with mixed emotions.“What did you say?" He asked in a hoarse near-whisper when he finally found his voice.I had a smug smile on my face. Who sis he thinks he was anyway? King of the universe?“You heard me right; you better start speaking."He edged closer to me, almost entering my room. I barred the way with one arm, and kept him at a reasonable distance away from me with the other.“Who are you?" He asked with anxiety eating deep into his voice.“Just Camilla George", I replied, feeling all the more powerful. “Not Ariana Bernado."His apple bobbed as he swallowed hard. His eyes became vicious.“I know you are Camilla, but who do you work for?"I laughed a short laugh that was more of insulting.“I work for you. I'm sure the Bernados have no idea of your family's dirty history and dubiously ac
A LOVE WORTH INVESTING A WEB OF LIES
Camilla's POVSomeone was chasing me, and catching up pretty fast. The whole area was so dark and wide that I didn't have the slightest idea where I was going. And this person seemed powerful too. When I felt that the heat had gone off a bit, I turned to look back, in attempt to get a glimpse of his face but I slipped and fell hard to the floor but when I opened my eyes, Blaine was beneath me, cushioning me from the fall.I jolted awake, panting from the dream and turned on the lights. I was breathing and perspiring like I had actually been in a race. I took my phone. It was just one am.“Oh, God!"I got out of bed and headed quietly downstairs to the kitchen to get some water. My throat felt parched. As I poured some water into the glass, I decided that a cup of ice cream would be helpful. I wonder what would happen when I had exhausted the whole supply of it. I took a cup of strawberry flavor ice cream and picked a spoon from the drawer. That's how I sat down to an early dessert.I
