Chapter 12Camilla's POV…After my payment was processed, I dragged my shopping cart towards the entrance. Although I had bodyguards around, I did not wish for them to show themselves, especially when these three trouble makers were around.I made my way towards the entrance but I did not foresee someone bump in me. I almost fell but managed to steady myself using the shopping cart. It was only after I reached the counter did I realize that I have bought a lot of stuff.I could not see the front well so when someone bumped in me from the back, I was momentarily disoriented and did not see that someone was in front. It was only after I heard someone cry in pain that I realized I might have hurt someone.I immediately stopped and walked around to the front to take a look. but when I saw the person lying on the floor, I was stupefied.‘What is Emily doing in front of my cart? Hadn’t they been behind me waiting in cue to pay? How come she is now in front of my shopping cart wailing her he
Chapter 13Camilla's POV…After the attendant found the wine in my shopping cart, and confirmed that I had not paid for it, it stunned everyone at the scene.“See manager, I told you to be careful. Once a thief always a thief. Not only did she hurt someone, she was also planning to steal such an expensive wine from your supermarket.” Elisa said. She sounded like the goddess of justice as she earnestly spoke of my ‘bad behavior.’“Is this true?” the manager turned around and asked me. I could the fury in his eyes and if I did not give a concrete answer, I will so much trouble. But even so, I was not one bit afraid.“I don’t know how the wine got into my shopping cart. You can ask your attendants. They were the ones who processed everything.” I said, not at all quivering in fear like most of them had expected.“Who served her?” the manager asked angrily. I knew that the cashier and the attendants who served me will never come forward as they were afraid of being implicated.But I did n
Chapter 14Camilla's POV…I could see the astonishment in every one’s eye as they looked at the video. As for the three fucking bitches, I did not have to turn to look at the them to see the expression on their faces.‘It must be quite entertaining.’ I thought.The video continued to play. Brenna was seen coming back sneakily and dropped something in my shopping cart while I was still apologizing to Emily. It was clearly the bottle of red wine that I have been accused of stealing.“Officers, I think you already have everything you need and you now know that I am innocent, please if you may excuse me, I need to leave.” I said to the leading officer.I have wasted enough time already. The bodyguards that I had told to wait in the car must be wondering what is taking me so long.It was also two hours’ drive from here to Lucien's villa, thus that could only leave me with a few hours to prepare dinner.“Manager, make sure you investigate this properly maybe someone in deed wanted to steal
Chapter 15Camilla's POV…I don’t know how the bodyguards found out what happened at the supermarket but I warned them not to tell Lucien anything.He has already done more than enough and I did not want him to keep worrying about me.“Please, don’t tell him anything. They were just mad dogs barking without bite. I have already dealt with it.”“Yes ma’am.”It was around midday when we left the supermarket. I was glad that there was not a lot of traffic jam so we arrived home within one and a half hours. I did not have time to waste, I hurriedly took a quick shower and chased away all the cooks from the kitchen before I started making dinner. I did not want their help because I knew I could manage on my own.In the West pack, I could cook from dawn till dusk, so this was totally nothing. Before I got used it, living as servant, I would almost faint after doing so much work, but I was like a slave, so saying that you are tired and you wanted to rest was always out of question unless you
Chapter 16Lucien's POV…I could not wait for the day to end just so I could see her. She was the only thing in my mind for the whole day and I could not even concentrate on my work.I only wanted to see her and hear her voice but I did not want to disturb by video calls. I tried my best to concentrate on my work before I stopped everything and went to see her.When I reached home in the evening and saw her busying herself in the kitchen to make me dinner, a warm feeling bubbled in my heart but before I could get a hold of it, it vanished.It has already been a week and although she had already opened up to me and told me everything that there is to know about her, her heart was still closed off but I did not rush her because I knew that she was in a healing process.If I rushed her and something unexpected happens in the future, it will be a devasting blow to the both of us.I could only wait for her patiently as she fully heals because if she did not get rid on the knot in her heart
Chapter 17Camilla's POV…I woke up the following morning with a splitting. I only had a glass of wine, why was my head hurting like it was about to fall off my neck? Even if it was my first-time drinking, it wouldn’t have been this worse, right? What kind of wine had Brenna stolen?I remember Lucien saying that it was one of a kind, then that might be true, or else how I could explain this hangover after only taking one glass.I forced myself to wake up and go to the bathroom. I was feeling groggy and my eyes were not fully opened. It was only after I splashed myself with cold water, did it clear a little.I took a shower and by the time I left the bathroom, I was feeling slightly better.In the bedroom, a note was waiting for me on the bedside table as usual. Lucien has never left without leaving a note informing that he has already left for work and I should have a good day, but today there were additional words on the note…‘Remember your promise yesterday, we did not do it. Wait
Chapter 18Camilla's POV…“I felt it to the point that I was drowned into it.” I said sarcastically.“If we were really mates and you did not see our relationship as a business transaction, then why did you leave me? Answer me Lenox, why did you utter such hurtless words?” I asked. Although I had already calmed down a lot over the past days, seeing his indifferent face still made my heart hurt.I have been a stupid being all those years to have even fallen for someone like him. He did not have a heart and took relationships like they were some kind of business transactions.If someone had told me that one day Lenox will leave me, I would have argued with them until they had no words to defend themselves, but now that the truth was right before my eyes, I did not know how to face it.But I knew it was better to face everything sooner because the more this feeling stayed in my heart, the more it will be hard for me to accept someone else.“I think I have gotten all the answers that I ne
Chapter 19Camilla's POV…“Grandfather is dying? Where did you hear such vile news from?” how did I not know of something like that? Who is the one spreading such disgusting news about my grandfather?”“It was the old madam who said it. She said that she went to visit your grandfather in the hospital but she was told that he has been transferred. She tried asking in different hospitals but there were no records of your grandfather being admitted in them so she assumed that you are unfilial and you have taken your grandfather out of the hospital so that he could die.”“What?” I was extremely shocked by Anita's words.‘I took my grandfather out of the hospital so as to let him die?’ ha ha it seemed that the old woman could not wait for my grandfather to die.If that was the case, then I will make sure that they are extremely disappointed.“Thank you Anita for telling me all these. I did not expect that a lot has happened just in a week’s time I have been away.”I made my way to the hous
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.
