Chapter 54

Mayor POV…

“When Lenox Crawford was making his statement, I haven’t even gotten the report from the rescue team that I had sent. I was also shocked, just like everyone else when I heard the news from him!”

“I wonder how he managed to get such information and he was sure that something had happened in city Y.” I spoke. They thought that they were smart and they were the only ones who knew how to spin lies, right?

I will let them have a taste of their own medicine. They want to force me to leave office? But until Lucien took over, I am not going to step my foot out of this place.

“He went ahead to release false news that he knew nothing about, causing pain and grief among people and you want that kind of person to be mayor?

Do you not have any confidence in my successor? I have served this city with all my heart for the last eight years, how can I endorse someone that is incompetent, won’t I be ruining my reputation if I do that?”

We are almost reaching the lowest market price to be ever experienced in the history of stock market.” He continued.“What the hell have you don Lenox? Didn’t I warn to be careful, now you have really outdone yourself this time. What are going to do?”“Everyone, things are not as bad as they look. we will get through this.

    Chapter 57Camilla POV…After reaching home, although I had slept in city Y, I still fell in a deep sleep. The other place was foreign and I was not used to it. It was only evening when I woke up and I could feel that I have regained my strength already.It was dark in the room except for the street lights seeping in through the window. But I was not afraid because I knew that I am in my safest abode. This is the only place where I could have an absolute sense of security.As I still lazing out on the bed, the door to the bedroom was pushed open and the lights were switched on. My eyes were already used to the darkness so I squinted a little at the sudden glaring illumination.“Camilla, are you planning on sleeping for a whole day? Although brother-in-law said that we should not disturb you, this is enough!” Zelma's voice came through.“What! I have been sleeping for a whole day? Why didn’t you wake me up?” I asked in a shocked voice.“Brother-in-law said that you should not be distur

I did not know that I was a chess piece in someone’s game, just like the rest of you! I am here to offer my deepest apology to anyone that might have been affected by the news!’This statement repeated itself in my mind over and over again. I could not understand why Lenox is so adamant on going against Lucien. Did he really want to be the mayor for the benefit of the people, or was he actually someone's chess piece?My face was expression less as I thought about this. No one knows this, but I understand Lenox more than anyone in this world. After all, I have once been smitten with him and I knew everything about him like the back of my hand.Although he is slightly smarter than average, there is no way he can come up with something like that! I am one hundred and one percent sure that someone is manipulating him behind the scenes, and that someone

Although I was shocked, I did not hesitate to accept his invitation.Even though I knew that I might be walking into a trap, I did not have time to dilly-dally. Lucien's reputation was at stake and the citizens’ reaction online was getting worse. Everyone was cursing at him and there was no voice that was speaking in his favor.I quickly went to the bedroom to get changed before I headed out in a hurry. If Lucien returned before I left, then no matter what I say, he will not allow me to leave the house alone.“Sis, I am leaving. Take care and don’t go anywhere. If Lucien comes back before I do, just tell him that I went to buy something at the supermarket!” I said to Zelma who was sitting dazedly on a chair.I knew that her worries were founded, but what I can do? Lucien needed my help now more than anything else.“Okay sis, please take care and don’t let anything happen to you!”“I know.

I realized that I was sitting on a chair in the middle of a glaring light.I looked around and only realized that the place where I was, was the only place that had lights. It was so bright that my eyes throbbed when I tried to even open them a little bigger.The rest of the room was plunged into darkness and I could not even see the man who has been speaking just a moment ago. I did not dare open my eyes anymore because I felt that my skull was being spilt apart.My heart was nervous and I finally started to panic. Why is that every time I want to help Lucien, something bad must happen to me? and how did this people make it so natural that I did not suspect anything.Fuck it! Lenox.

Where is she?” I asked the moment I entered the house. I did not care that I was disheveled, because that was not important at this point.“Brother-in-law!” Zelma called out.Her eyes were red and puffed, an indication that she has been crying pretty bad.“Where is your sister?” I inquired.“Sis left some hours ago. Lenox called her and told her that if she wants to know why he is causing you trouble, then she should meet him at Pearl hotel. Sis said that I should not tell you the truth and she said that she will be back soon. But a few hours have already passed and she is nowhere to be seen!“I think that my sister

Was he injured trying to protect Camilla? If his condition is this bad, then what about Camilla? Isn’t she in a worse condition? Or is she already…I shook my head to get the scary thought out of my mind and looked at Carl with a cold gaze.“Carl, what happened to you and where is your luna?” I asked immediately, in a freezing voice.“Master I...” he uttered the two words before he coughed out a mouthful of blood. He seemed to be injured and it was worse than I had imagine

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

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."

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?

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.

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.
