Camille widened her eyes and coughed lightly trying to figure out what he meant by saying that. "You do know you are being so hilarious right now.""I'm not being hilarious, but I'm sure you misunderstood me which...of course...is expected."She frowned as she watched him grab a bottle of wine and pour it in his glass cup gulping down all of it at once. Doesn't he ever get tipdy? Her finger ran through her long brown hair."You said marriage,not too hard to understand."He chuckled dangling the cup with his long fingers."I forgot to tell you it will be a contract marriage, after few years we div-"“I know what a contract marriage is! And why on earth do you think I’ll agree to it?”“We both need each other’s help. You mostly need my help.” He tipped his glass and slumped on the office chair that squeaked at every move.She closed her eyes and took deep breaths in and out. “What do you know about me?”“Everything I’m supposed to know-““You-you searched about me without my permission?!
“Oh-“ Sean said, coming back to reality. “I’m fine grandma, I was just thinking-““About Camille? That’s her name, yes?” she asked, smiling.Sean grunted and glared at his grandma. “Yes, that’s her name. Camille Riley.”“Aww. My grandson is really in love!” She squirmed, her face shining brightly.Sean’s face was turning red for reasons best known to his cheeks. He brought out his phone and fixed his eyes on it.“You know…I still remember the first day you wanted to approach a girl. You were just five.” Sean cursed under his breath. “Grandma-““It would be fun sharing it to your wife. Wouldn’t it?” She asked cheerfully.“Anything that will make you happy, Grandma.” He said almost whispering.“Today is going to be beautiful!”He ran his fingers through his hair exasperatedly. Few minutes later, the maids walked into the dining room with trays of food that rested on their palms.They walked inside the room in a straight line and carefully placed the trays of food on the long white tabl
Camille stepped out of the car and onto the paved driveway, gazing up at the grand entrance of the luxurious mall. She had always dreamed of shopping in places like this with Fredrick, but now, she was alone.“I guess some dreams aren’t meant to come true,” She thought to herself.As she entered the mall, her eyes widened in awe at the opulent decor and high-end boutiques. She spotted a stunning blue sparkling short dress in a display window and couldn’t help but gasp. She had always taken a fancy to that designer’s works, and only admired them in magazines. But as her fingers reached out to touch the glass, a mocking voice stopped her. “Even if you sell your generational properties, I doubt it’s enough to get that.” Camille was taken aback by her rude words and wanted to speak, but she was cut short again.“I’ll suggest you step away from the glass,” the sales assistant sneered. “I wonder why numerous people don’t know their place these days.”Camille turned to see a young sales as
Why was he here?Camille instantly tensed up and glanced behind a young man dressed in black suit and a black tie, but she didn’t see the man in her mind.Then who was this?Jennifer frowned unpleasantly, “Who are you?”The young man sneered and commanded directly to the person behind him.“How dare you be arrogant and treat guests based on how they dressed and how they look? If we let you do this for a long time, it will definitely ruin the fame of the industry.”“Mr.smith, take down miss Jennifer’s words today, and fling them back to Mr. Williams. Ask them not to blame us for kicking them out in spite of the contract. From now on, the Williams family will not get involve with Famous industry!” the young man said seriously.Mr. Smith trembled and agreed hastily.Jennifer’s face changed instantly, “Y-you’re from Famous industry? The Rodriguez?”The young man sneered, “Took you so long to finally figure out what’s going on.”After that, he walked straight to Camille whispering. “Ma’am
Camille walked into the Riley's residence, her family already seated at the lunch table. Her mother and sister Cassie looked up, surprise and annoyance flashing across their faces. But her father, a warm smile on his face, stood up to greet her."Camille, sweetheart, it's so great to see you! I'm glad I could finally pin you down for a visit."Camille's smiled, "Dad, I... uh... thanks for having me over."As they sat down, her mother flashed her an inexplicable look which she ignored. "So, Camille, how's your husband doing? I feel like I haven't seen him in ages."Camille's eyes darted to her mother, who made a subtle warning glance. She hesitated, realizing her father didn't know about her divorce. "Uh... he's... doing well, Dad."Her mother jumped in, her voice sugary sweet. "Cassie, dear, tell your father about the new project at work. I'm sure he'd love to hear about it."Cassie launched into a detailed explanation, their mother praising her accomplishments. Camille's father liste
The large hall was filled with many people of high status, all gathered to celebrate Cassie's birthday and the announcement of her engagement with Fredrick. The atmosphere was electric, with chatter and laughter filling the air. Cassie, resplendent in a red dress, was beaming with pride as she mingled with the guests. Her mother, Miriam, was by her side, making sure everything was perfect.But where was Camille? Mr. George, kept asking Miriam when Camille would arrive. "Are you certain she's coming? Today is her birthday also, she's supposed to be present. Why isn't she here?"Miriam kept saying she would soon arrive but as the minutes ticked by, there was no sign of Camille.Cassie was beginning to get restless, "Mum, what if she doesn't show up? She's never celebrated her birthday with me and we've never invited her. What if she refuses to come?" "I'm certain she will come. She won't refuse her father's request."Cassie sighed loudly, " Then, why isn't she here."Miriam kept tryin
The room fell silent as the video played, showing Camille and the man laughing and drinking together. Camille's face turned bright red with shame and embarrassment. She tried to step forward, but her legs felt like lead.Mr. George's face turned beet red with anger and disappointment. "What is the meaning of this?" he thundered.Miriam's voice was smug and self-satisfied. "This, dear family and friends, is the reason why Frederick divorced Camille. This is the kind of behavior she's been exhibiting."The room erupted into gasps and whispers. Cassie's friends and acquaintances looked at her with shock, disgust, and judgment.Camille tried to speak, but her voice was barely audible. "Mother, please..."Miriam turned to her, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Oh, Camille, you're so ashamed now, aren't you? But you should be. This is what happens when you behave like a whore.""That's not true...." Camille managed to say staring at Frederick and he looked away immediately."Should we
The car screeched to a halt in front of the big house, and Jeffery jumped out to open the door. Sean carefully extracted Camille from the back seat, her body trembling in his arms.Jeffery rushed ahead, unlocking the front door and taking the stairs two at a time. Sean followed close behind, Camille's head lolled against his shoulder.“Please, Sean…need to get these off…” Camille moaned, tugging at her clothes.Sean tightened his grip, trying to restrain her. “Not now, Camille. We need to get you safe first.”Jeffery called the Rodriguez family doctor and in few minutes he arrived.Dr. Richard quickly began to check on her.“Something's wrong with her,” Sean said, his tone commanding. “She's been drugged or something.”Dr. Richard's expression turned grim. “Let me see.”He examined Camille, his hands moving swiftly and surely. After a moment, he looked up at Sean. “She's been given an aphrodisiac. It's driving her urge for sex.”Sean's face darkened. “What kind of sick person would do
