Chapter 29Camilla's POV…I was glad that Lucien took the initiative to mend things between us. Although I pretended to be okay the past two days, I was not okay.I thought that just like Lenox, Lucien will also reject me so I did not have the courage to start up a conversation with him. I thought that he will find me to be the opposite of what he thought, and then regret accepting me.Honesty, I was angry at him after he shouted at me that day, but after I watched the clip that he mentioned, I became angry at myself instead. If I were in his shoes, and he was the one exposing himself to danger and disregarding his life, I would have reacted even worse.I had been a total fool to do what I did! So, what if I saved everyone, no one will remember me and no one will come to say thank you. And then there was this part of me being hugged by Lenox, I could not believe my eyes when I saw it.So, when Lucien sent the text to meet up for dinner, I was hesitant because I thought that he was def
Chapter 30Camilla's POV…After Lucien felt better, he went to take a shower as I went to set the table. I turned on the television as I waited for him in boredom.“Good morning our wonderful viewers, today is such a beautiful morning. This is TV X and we have some exclusive news that will excite everyone.”“We know that everyone has been asking themselves about this mysterious young master called Lucien Hart. He is probably the youngest alpha in the history to take over such a huge pack and he is also the youngest CEO of Hart empire and his wealth and power cannot be rivaled.” The TV host stated, and it immediately attracted my attention after hearing Lucien's name.I raised the volume and listened intently.“Although we don’t know much about him, but it is certain that someone on Lucien's level must already have a wife or maybe a girlfriend since he is such a powerful alpha, but yesterday he was seen exiting pearl hotel with a mysterious lady in his arms and one of our reporters hap
Chapter 31Camilla's POV…I did not even dare to breathe out loud for the fear of provoking him further. His face was getting darker and darker and I knew that a bloody battle was about to happen.“I am giving you ten minutes; I don’t want to see any of the news anywhere. If possible, close down all those TV stations and any cite that dare report about this.” I heard him say in an extremely cold voice. He was truly enraged and there was no way of salvaging the situation.My mind span quickly as I thought of ways to calm his rage.“Darling, calm down, okay!” I tried to appease him. Although I was also mad that someone used such dirty tricks to defame me and ruin my reputation, I did not want him to be stressed about it.“How can I calm down when they are saying such horrible things about you? Aren’t you bothered even a bit?” I heard him ask, and my heart trembled a little.“Of course, I am bothered and I wish I could skin that person alive. But it is just that they don’t know the relat
Chapter 32Elisa's POV…I have not been this happy and pleased since the ballroom party. Seeing all the negative comments and curses directed at Camilla, I felt thrilled and so happy that I did not even feel like eating breakfast.I just wanted to laugh out loud like a maniac and release all the anger that I have been accumulating.“Haha Camilla, you thought that just because you hooked up with Lucien, I cannot do anything to you? Look at your embarrassing photo online, I bet that you are too afraid to even peek outside your house, right? But you deserve all these for going against me. Who told you to seduce Lenox?Just wait until Lucien dumps you! Haha… hahaha!”“Little sweetheart, why are you so happy this morning? Did anything good happen to you?” it was my mom’s voice that brought me back to my senses. But even so, I could not hide the huge smile that was plastered on my face.“Mom, why are you up so early?” I asked as I held her hand and brought her into my room.“I always wake u
Chapter 33Lenox's POV…Although I wanted to so badly ask Elisa if she was the one responsible for the news circulating about Camilla, I did not have the courage to ask her directly.I know that she is still mad at me for how I treated her yesterday but that cannot justify her actions. The other reason why I am so patient with her is because her father is playing a major role in choosing me to be the most favored candidate to contest against Lucien, if I made her unhappy, I might just invite unwanted trouble.Until I am one hundred percent sure that everything is going my way, I have to trade carefully.So, I had no choice but to book a table so that we can have breakfast together.At the famous breakfast restaurant…I was browsing on social media, seeing all the insult thrown at Camilla, and I was not feeling good about it.The news has now spread and it was #number one trending news on all search feeds. With every comment that I read, my heart constricted and it felt that it was bei
Chapter 34Lenox's POV…After breakfast, I immediately left and headed directly to the office. I wanted to go and see if I can help Camilla minimize the damages made on her reputation since Lucien seemed not to care.I wanted to help her take down as many posts as possible but I did not imagine that my good intentions will lead to such devastating effect and I almost made Camilla be torn into pieces by the netizens.I have never faced anything like that in my life so I thought that if I helped Camilla delete the posts, people will stop talking about it but that only made matters worse for Camilla.I could only sigh in frustrations as I looked at the heated discussion online.I was so engrossed in Camilla's matters that I forgot about the secret meeting. It was a call from Elisa's dad that jolted me awake.“Lenox, have you seen the news about the Jones family?” Martins worried and anxious voice came through the phone.“I have been in a meeting so I haven’t had a chance to look at the n
Chapter 35Lenox POV…I don’t know how I came down from the podium after addressing the media. The only thing that I remember is my shirt was soaked with cold sweat and there was this buzzing sound in my ears.“Lenox, Lenox!” it was my betas voice that brought me back to reality.“What is it, Dylan?”“What are you daydreaming about? You did great up there?” he said with a grin on his face.“Really? I thought that I messed up? I have never been this tense in my life!”“No, you did well. You answered the reporters’ questions well, now it is time to come up with good campaign strategies.” Dylan said.“Yeah.”I know that after taking that step, there is no going back and even if I want to back out now, those cunning old foxes won’t give me a chance.My phone rang and looking at the caller ID, I did not feel like picking it up, but still…“It’s me.” I said through the phone.“Congratulations babe! You are amazing!”“Thanks.” I said in a non-committal tone. I did not see the need to be exci
Chapter 36Camilla POV…When I finally reached the living room, I was surprised that it was full of people.The whole of West pack important members were present and even some faces that I have never seen before.“You are here Camilla, quickly come in.” Matilda said enthusiastically which made me to frown. She has never treated me this nicely as long as I could remember, what came over her today?“What is going on?” I looked at everyone in the room and asked the old lady directly. I felt that something is not right. I felt like I was facing a court jury for interrogation.“Why are you in such a hurry when you have just arrived. Aren’t you even going to say hi to the guests? Is that how I taught you your manners?”“These are your visitors and not mine. What did you call me here for?” I asked. I was not in the mood to entertain anyone.“Sit down and have a cup of tea. Get to know our guests!”“Old lady, aren’t you getting the wrong person to accompany your visitors? I am only a slave gi
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.
