Chapter 21Camilla's POV…The words the Liam told me struck a chord in my heart. I never knew how much I meant to Lucien although he has said it over and over again. I thought he was just trying to win me over with his sweet words. I never knew that he meant every word he said to me from the very first day we met up to now.Although I always felt happy in his company, I have been warning myself several times not to repeat the same mistake. Isabela has already accepted him as our mate and it was only me who was still hesitant.I just felt that all these was too good to be true. How could someone like Lucien possibly be my mate? although I always maintained a positive outlook when I was in his company, the moment he left me alone, I would think about all sorts of possibilities.But after hearing Liam's words, I just realized how selfish I have been. Although I have always been telling him to give me time, in my heart, I haven’t been really doing anything. I just feared that history will
Chapter 22 Camilla's POV… It has been a few days since I regained my strength. I did not want to waste a single day and immediately started my training. I wanted to become better and stronger so that I can have the courage and pride to stand side by side with him. Lucien had a gym at home and it was well equipped and he even hired professional trainers for me. Although it was very tiring at the start, to me, it was a fulfilling experience and I enjoyed every moment of it. He has also helped me to retrieve my precious box from the West family and my grandfather was already awake, I did not know how to describe my joy. Good news kept pouring in and I was dying from happiness. “That is enough for today, you will continue tomorrow.” it was Lucien's voice as he came over with a wet towel to wipe my face and hands. It has been like this for a few days and he has even moved his work from office to home just to accompany me. “One more round.” I said, my eyes sparkling and my body feeling
Chapter 23Camilla's POV…Just a smile and my knees have already turned weak, what about the other women who he has been in contact with, were they also swept off their feet with a single glance from him?“I have actually never had a girlfriend.” I heard his voice whispering in my ear. I did not know when he came so close to me. His hot breath lingered on my ear, making it so hot that I thought it had caught fire.But I was sober enough to understand his words and immediately replied, “liar.”“Why should I lie to you?” he asked as he started nibbling on my ear with his hot and wet tongue.It was a sensitive spot for me and it sent a shocking feeling through my body.“It is because you are too good looking. Has anyone never tried seducing you?” I asked, not at all convinced by his words. With this generation of crazy people, I won’t be surprised if he had a fling or two, let alone women throwing themselves at him.He had the looks and the money, what will prevent a lady from approachin
Chapter 24Camilla's POV…The following day, I woke up early in a brilliant mood. Today I will not be training since I am going to visit my grandfather.He has already been discharged from the hospital and Lucien has taken him to one of his private villas to recuperate. He was slowly getting back to his feet and I was relieved.“Good morning!” a cool voice greeted me and a hot kiss fell on my lips before I could even reply. My reaction was slow since I have just woken up and the kiss seemed to be the best medicine for sobering me up.“You, I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet.” I said as I tried to close my mouth and push the hungry man away.“It tastes sweet.” The man mumbled. Was he nuts? Why don’t I remember morning breathes tasting sweet? He just wanted to have his way so he came up with such a lousy excuse.“Uh, why are you still here? Didn’t we agree that you will start going to the office today?” I inquired. I have already gotten better and I did not want him to keep worrying ab
Chapter 25Camilla's POV…“Stop messing around, I am driving.” Lucien said after hearing the honking of cars behind us.“I just wanted to give you a peck and it was you who deepened the kiss, how is it now my fault?” I asked. This man knew how to easily shift the blame, didn’t he?He is clearly the one messing around and now he is blaming me?“It is because you seduced me first.” The man answered shamelessly. He did not even blink.“Okay dear, don’t get me wrong. I momentarily lost control; it is all my fault. Don’t worry, I won’t cause a traffic jam next time.”…After the little mishap, we reached grandfather’s house. From his anxious expression, I could tell that he has been waiting for a long time.“You are finally here, my child?”“Yes grandpa, how are you feeling? Have you taken your medicine?” I asked as I held his old and already wrinkled hand. Just a few years have passed and grandfather has already aged so much. If the surgery had been delayed any further, grandfather might
Chapter 26Camilla's POV…Something is not right; I can feel it.My instructors told me to always follow my instincts when I sense danger, because that is the only way I will be able to save myself.I was wondering what was with the weird feeling that I was suddenly feeling, when a speeding motorcycle came from the opposite direction as the driver was about to turn to another lane.“Watch out!” I shouted because I could already tell that the motorcycle was headed towards our direction and it wanted to hit our car.Its glaring lights were so bright, it was as if death was staring right at me, ready to open the gates of hell for me.Without thinking, I limped forward, opened the driver’s door and immediately jumped out with the driver who has already freaked out.I did not want to think about anything and just wanted to save myself.The car did not stop moving and the speeding bike rammed into it head on, sending the driver flying a few meters away. I thought it was over but then from t
Chapter 27Lucien's POV…It has been two days and Camilla and I have not said a word to each other. I am someone who is not used to explaining things, but giving commands and I even don’t know how to express my feelings well, because honestly, this is something I am experiencing for the first time in my life.I thought that letting her be and giving her time to cool off will solve things between us but I can feel that we are drifting apart as days go by.She has been extremely busy these past few days, she will always be asleep when I come home and she will leave early before I wake up. She was purposely avoiding me.I did not want our relationship that has been doing great to change. I feel like it is time to solve the issue between us and live like we have been living before.So today I decided to book a private room at one of the best restaurants in the city and sent her a text.“Meet me at pearl hotel, six o’clock. Dinner is on me.”I thought that she will probably ignore me like
Chapter 28Lenox's POV…I don’t know what has been wrong with me the past few days but I couldn’t stop thinking about Camilla.That day, I saw with my own eyes how she prevented a tragic accident from happening. I have never known that she is a fighter and it took me by surprise.Since the day that she left the office after confronting me, I haven’t laid my eyes on her and I missed her every single day until I thought that I was going crazy.I had this strong urge to just see her but I did not know where to begin because she left her home and I did not have an address of the place she was currently staying.Then on that day, I stumbled upon her but she was busy saving everyone and by the time I reached where she was, she was already fainting. Holding her in my arms gave me a joyous feeling that I have never felt before. It was like I was picking up my treasure after a long time of trying to find it.I have never been fond of her before because she has been too clingy and too plain. Bu
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.
