Chapter 102Lucien POV…“Well said.” I nodded as I looked at the four of them. If they can’t do it, how dare they expect us to do it? How can I let them destroy evidence that I have worked so hard to find?“That is not what we meant mayor Hart. You should know that this is rather a sensitive matter and you seem to be emotional attached to it. We just don’t want you to make an irrational decision in a fit of anger.” Mayor Clinton said.He was slightly older than the other mayors and he was the shrewdest one among the four. I even felt that the three were being controlled by him.“How could you say that mayor Clinton. I wasn’t planning on dealing with anyone, nor was I planning to making an irrational decision due to personal emotions. I simply want to hand the criminal over to the authorities so that he can tell us why he has been doing all the bad things to our kind.” I spoke in an even tone.Seeing that he could not retort, he kept quiet. Although he was an old cunning fox, it did no
Chapter 103Lucien POV…Camilla slept until the morning of the following day. As for me, I was watching over her the whole night so I did not get to close my eyes for even a moment.I was holding her hand while looking outside the window, lost in thoughts when I heard a raspy voice coming from the huge bed.“You are awake?” I was pleasantly surprised as I looked at her.“Thirsty.” She said in a hoarse voice and I immediately poured her a glass of warm water.She gulped it down in one go.“How do you feel?” I asked as I put my hand on her forehead out of habit.“I feel good. What happened? why am I in bed and why are you looking nervous?” she asked a series of questions and I did not know how to answer.She really doesn’t remember being traumatized, just as Liam had said.“You fainted from exhaustion after the competition so I brought you back.” I said, looking at her expression to see whether I will discover anything.“I suddenly remember that…”“What do you remember?” I cut her off n
Chapter 104Camilla POV…I never imagined that being pregnant could this tiresome especially in these last few days. Although it was tiring, nine months flew by in a flash since the day I learnt that I was pregnant. I was only remaining with a few days before delivery.At this moment, I was busking in the morning sun with a cup of tea in my hands. I was so heavy that even the act of walking was tedious. It was only with the help of Lucien I could be able to move around.“You have a phone call.” Lucien's voice came from behind me. Today being a Saturday, he did not go to the office. He was keeping me company at home.“Who is it?” I inquired.“Your sister.” Lucien said and I could hear a sigh in his voice.Ever since Zelma learnt that I was pregnant, she has been calling every single day. The doctor had said that it was not good for me to stay on the phone for too long, but she would somehow get her way around Lucien, who was now managing everything around me.I took the phone from him
Chapter 105Camilla POV…I did not stay long in the hospital and left the following day. I was already feeling fine and the pain was gone.Lucien had been extremely nervous and wanted me to stay for a few days but I refused. I did not like the smell of the hospital and the fact that it was filled with so much negative energy, it was not good for my baby.“Make sure you maintain a calm mindset. Don’t strain yourself in any possible way and you will have a smooth birth.” The doctor said.“Thank you doctor, I understand.”“Since you insist on leaving, I cannot force you to stay. Moreover, you only have a few days until delivery.”“Okay.”In the car on our way home…“What are you thinking about?” I asked Lucien who was sitting beside me. His brows were creased and he seemed to be thinking about something deeply.“If I had known that it will be this much for you, I would not have made you pregnant. You have suffered for the past nine months.” He said and I looked at him in shock.Was he fo
Chapter 106Lucien POV…The long awaited and anticipated finally arrived.I was woken by Camilla's painful cries and I knew that it was time. I did not waste a second as I rushed her to the hospital.When arrived at peoples first hospital, she was immediately rushed to the delivery room. I wanted to follow in but she weakly told me that she will be okay so, I could only remain on the corridor with a worried expression.I never knew that being pregnant was this tedious. Every cry of hers made me feel like a knife has been pierced through my heart. It twisted until it became completely numb.I walked back and forth in the corridor, not knowing what to do. How I wished that I could share her pain. If false labor had hurt so much that she fainted, what about real labor?When we reached the hospital, she was barely breathing. Will she really be able to give birth without any mishap?“Brother-in-law, don’t worry. Sister is stronger than she seems and I am sure that she will make it through.
Chapter 107Camilla POV…Although I have been pretending to be all strong and easy going, I was actually as tired as a horse. The pushing in the labor room was… I don’t even know how to say it. It is even a miracle that I did not faint.I did not want Lucien to know that I have been pretending to be strong or else, he will start blaming himself again.But I still noticed that there was something wrong with him when I left the labor room. Even after seeing me carrying our baby, he did not look as excited as I had expected.I did not know what was going on with him. He did not even want to carry our little baby, or maybe he was too tiny. Honestly, I did not know that a newborn baby will be that small. I even felt that I will not be able to hold him well and might end up hurting him.But the moment he was given to me, everything became natural as if I had been practicing for a thousand years when honestly, it was my first time as well.As for Lucien, after asking him why he was acting ou
Chapter 108Camilla POV…One hundred days went by in a blink of an eye since I gave birth. Today was the 100th full moon party and the naming of my baby.This was the moment that I have been looking forward to ever since I gave birth. Although we live in the modern society and most of the traditions are no longer important, we cannot ignore the importance of some traditions.During this period, we had already made our relationship public. Although it shocked everyone in the city, they had no choice but to accept it.Most people had been eyeing my husband and other family heads even had the guts to send them to my door, thinking that only Lucien stayed there. They wanted to strengthen their relationship with the mayor by sending women in his bed, but how could I allow that to happen?I thought that it will be fine after sending a few of them away, but they actually had the guts to go and talk shit about me online!Saying how I seduced the mayor and how am not worth of him. I was that s
Chapter 109Camilla POV…“Congratulations madam mayor, I am sure your child was born to accomplish great things alone. You are blessed to have such a cute and obedient son.” I stood at the center of the stage with Lucien and baby Tyr as we received everyone’s congratulations.Whether they were genuinely happy for me and my family or they were faking it, I was happy at the moment. It was the kind of joy that I haven’t experienced in a long time, and I was glad that I had organized this naming ceremony.I guess that from this day onwards, city N will welcome a new rite of a passage. Although it was there during our ancestors’ time, it has long since been forgotten and only a few followed the traditions. But it was worth noting that, this ceremony signified the child’s future and his abilities.It was only six o’clock that all the guests left. It had taken longer than I had expected and I was very tired. Standing for long in my high heels and sending all the guest off, I felt like all th
Chapter 123 (THE END)!!Jared POV…With the pregnancy news, the wedding preparations began.Actually, I had already started preparing one year ago when Zelma told me that she wanted to see the fields in South America and ride the horses. It was one of the places she wanted to visit and she wished that we could our wedding there.The preparations were in the last stage and it was done after one month.I had not planned to hold our wedding in such a hurry but because she was pregnant, we had to do it when it was still convenient, or else it would be hard for her to move around in the later stages of the pregnancy.Camilla was already heavily pregnant but she insisted on tagging along. There was nothing we could do about it.On the day itself…The weather was very sunny, just perfect for an outdoor wedding. Lucien was my best man and I was sitting on my chair nervously, listening to his nagging. I was about to marry the only woman who could make my heart race and blood boil, how could I
Chapter 122Jared POV…I have never felt this bad. It was only thirty minutes but I felt that I have been waiting for eternity. When the doctor finally lifted his head, I rushed over without hesitation. "Doctor Smith, what is wrong with her?" I inquired. I was so nervous that I held my breath for a moment."Young master, don't be nervous, nothing is wrong with the young mistress." The doctor and I looked at him as if he was joking.Nothing wrong with her? Then why would she be puking her guts out?"Are you a sure doctor? Earlier she…!""I am sure. She is totally fine, just a little exhausted. As for her vomiting, I think that she might be expectant." The doctor said and I felt my heart stop beating for a moment."What did you… what did you just say? Expe what?""Young master, I said that young mistress might expectant. The hormones in her body trigger the vomiting, which is a common occurrence when one is pregnant.""Are sure about that?" My head was buzzing with different sounds and
Chapter 121 Zelma POV… The huge dining table was filled with all kinds of dishes. From seafood to western cuisine. It was simply a feast to a foodie like me.On the huge table was Damon, Jared's father, sitting at the main seat. On his left was his wife Sara, who was Jared's mom, and my mother-in-law. The one next to him was her sister, Jared's aunt, and some other core members of the pack.On Damon's side, Jared sat next to his father and I naturally took the seat beside him. Camilla was sitting beside me and next to her was try them Lucien came last. It was a family gathering so, everyone at the table was an important member of this family."You did well tonight." Jared's mom said as she looked at me with a gentle smile."Thank you, mom." I lowered my head and said in a shy voice. I was not used to calling her mom yet, especially in front of so many people, so it sounded a little unnatural."Good, good girl. Let us eat before the food gets ready. Everyone has been busy the who
Chapter 120 Zelma POV… After seeing my sister, I was much more relieved and my tensed heart finally relaxed.I knew that Jared's parents were doing what was best for us and they will never do anything to harm me but regardless I was still considered new to this place. Having a familiar face around was the only thing that I needed."You guys talk but don't take too long. Zelma, you have to finish your makeup, the party will be starting soon." Jared said. I looked at him with grateful eyes as he dragged everyone outside the room, leaving only me and my sister.The moment I heard the door close from outside, I immediately threw myself at my sister without caring about anything."Sis, thank you for coming," I spoke, letting my tears flow freely on her shoulder. If someone asked me why I was crying, I would surely have nothing to say. I just wanted the moment I saw my sister enter the room. Maybe just missed her too much."It is okay. You need to be careful." My sister said, caressing
Chapter 119Jared POV…It was great that this little girl had graduated. We could finally go home and start our life. I have been with her for more than two months, from the time she started preparing her exams to the time she graduated. I left the pack matters to my father and I have never felt so relaxed in my life.My mother had been nagging for a long time so we had no choice but to take the next flight out of the city the moment the graduation ceremony ended.I wanted to celebrate with her but my mother said that they have organized everything so, we could only go back.It was not far from school to my home and we took approximately one hour on the plane. The driver was already waiting when we landed so we went home directly.“Why do I feel so nervous.” Zelma said and I looked at her.“Why are you feeling nervous? It is not like it is your first day going home!” I spoke.“I don’t know why I am feeling that way. My heart is just a little nervous.”“Just be yourself. You know how m
Chapter 118Zelma POV…I was busy with exams and graduation and before I realized it, one month had gone by in flash.I was sitting in the graduation square with Jared and other grandaunts. He had already graduated a year ago and he was just here accompany me.“I can’t believe that I am actually graduating. It feels like yesterday when I remember the first time I set foot in this school.” I lamented as I looked at my excited classmates. I had been here from primary to high school and now I was graduating.It was a little hard to part with people that I have known for years and I felt a sense of nostalgia, just thinking about how I will not be able to see them again.“I was only a little girl when I joined this school, but look at me, all grown up and about to receive my graduation certificate.” I spoke, looking at Jared who was sitting beside me with a calm look on his face.“Did you feel this excited when you were graduating last year?”“What was there to feel excited about? It was s
Chapter 117Lucien POV…After venting, I felt much better. But after looking at her eyes that were filled with guilty, I felt that I have done something wrong.Why would I reprimand her? I loved her so much that even seeing her frown made my heart hurt. wouldn’t I have just given in one last time. I know that she did not mean it but I could not keep my displeasure this time round.I have been looking forward to this day and I had not even gotten time to give her the surprise that I had prepared for her before it got ruined. I was just in a bad mood, and felt pretty bad about it.Seeing her throw herself at me and apologize, my anger dissolved to nothing. I have already pampered her to this stage, who else could I blame? I guess that I will just have to get used to it.I was about to say something when I heard her ask if she could make it up for it. I swallowed the words that I wanted to say swiftly and I looked at her in anticipation. I never imagined that she would be able to reflect
Chapter 116 Camilla POV… Hearing that my darling son missed me, I did not even have the zeal to travel the world anymore. I just wanted to fly to his side right at that moment.The next morning, I looked at Lucien who was all gloomy as we went to board our private plane. He did not seem very willing to go back, but what could I do when my heart had already flown to where my son was. I could not just say no to him when he already acted so cute."What's up?" I asked. He had been looking outside the car window on our way to the airport, not uttering even a single word."It's nothing." He said in a glum voice. He was clearly throwing a tantrum although he did not want to admit it."You look unhappy. Is it because our honeymoon was interrupted?""It is nothing." Seeing that he was not willing to talk about it, I stopped asking....The flight was very comfortable and we soon reached city N. When we arrived home, I immediately went to find my son for a hug without caring about anything.
Chapter 115Lucien POV…Having finally heard her say yes I do and seeing her bearing my family heirloom on her slender finger, I could finally firmly believe that she is mine, for life! It has been quite hectic ever since we met, a lot of things happening, but we could finally relax and enjoy a few days of happiness on our honeymoon.“What are you staring at?” I asked Camilla who was looking outside the window. It was already the morning of the following day and the weather was really great.“I can’t believe that we are officially husband and wife already,” she said. I had just come from the shower so I walked over while drying my hair.“I thought that you had already gotten used to the title already,” I said calmly, casually throwing the wet towel on the sofa in the room.“Yeah, but it still kind of feels different. I am now bearing your mark. Although it is not some kind of tattoo or something, it still symbolizes that we belong to each other.”“Did you want a tattoo?” I inquired.
