Chapter 84 Camilla POV… After the birthday, I got to know Jared well and realized that he was also like Lucien. His family was once from city Y but they migrated overseas. They have developed and they are now one of the most powerful packs around.He was the future alpha and I am glad that Zelma found someone she can rely on. I was no longer worried about her spending her time alone overseas.Today was quite an important day to me because I was going to officially take over the Crawford corporation. I had specially arranged to make sure that Lenox was in the office to witness me take over everything he has worked hard for.It was not my style to take revenge and hit someone when he was down, but this was a present that my darling gave me, so how can I let him down?As for Lenox, I stopped hating him a long time ago. He was not worth my time or attention anymore.I called Pete since I might need some backup. Although I have given him the position of alpha, he still insisted on repor
Chapter 85 Camilla POV… Emily was really the queen of drama. Even after hearing his sister spinning around all the lies and turning them into truth, Lenox still did not say anything.I did not utter a single word from the beginning until the end. It was only after she finished talking about whatever it was in her chest, that I finally had a chance to speak."Miss Crawford, you seem to have a lot of misunderstandings towards me. What have I done to deserve all the attention?" I questioned."Camilla, you think that you are the CEO just because you bought some measly shares?""You only want to make my brother feel bad, don't you? You want to push us to our deaths!""So, what if it is true? You have the top socialite as your in-law, surely, she wouldn't be thinking about abandoning you at this critical moment, will she?" I asked as I looked at Elisa with mockery.Lucien told me that she had already cast Lenox aside but he found out that she was pregnant, so Martin had no choice but to
Chapter 86 Lenox POV… I have been on edge these past few days, trying to figure out who bought my company but I could not find anything.When I received the anonymous message that the news CEO will be having a board meeting today, I could not sleep.I turned and tossed in bed until morning and woke up the moment the first bird chirped. I did not care about how haggard I looked or the dark circle under my eyes and immediately dressed up. I could not wait just see who it was that had the guts to go against me and buy over my company.And the fun thing is that I did not have even a single share in my hands. With my mom and dad's hospital bill accumulating, I had no choice but to auction off most of my properties and sold all the shares that I had.My sister and I had no choice but to thicken our skins and find shelter at the Martin's or else, we would have been dead by now.Although I stayed in the same bedroom with Elisa, I know that she loathed me at moment, and since I was not in t
Chapter 87Camilla POV…After I entered the office, I heaved a huge sigh of relief. I did not imagine that things will end up this way but I was glad that it was over.I looked at the huge office and the huge desk in front of me, not knowing what to do. I don’t know if I pushed Lenox and his family to the wall, but I did not feel any regrets.As I was still thinking, my phone rang. Looking at the caller id, my eyes turned gentle and all the unpleasant things in my mind vanished.“Darling…” I called out softly.“CEO West, how is your first day at work? Did any one cause any trouble?” Lucien asked over the phone in his low voice.“Just some little mishap but it is all good now!”“That is good!”“And you, how is your first day as mayor?” I inquired.“Nothing much. Just going through some old files!”“Since you don’t seem like you are busy, how about lunch together? It has been long since we last went out together!” I said over the phone. There was nothing much to be done on my end, so wh
Chapter 88Lucien POV…Marcus was still in my hands and before I fully resume the office, I wanted to deal with his matter. Being mayor to me was a sacred thing and I did not want to do anything that violates any of the oaths that I have taken.So, before I divulged all my attention in taking care of city N, I needed to go to city S to deliver something.Liam and his team had finished their research and since the end product was a success, they did not need Marcus anymore.I thought of using him to lure the mysterious faction out but I declined the idea in the end. We are in the light while they were in the dark. We are already exposed and although I want to so badly find them, I did not want to risk anything.If they know that Marcus was in our hands, and Camilla was already well, they might use extreme measures in their desperation to finish their project. That was not the risk I was willing to take because Camilla's safety was my first priority.So, the following morning, I woke up
Chapter 89 Camilla POV… It has been a few weeks since I took over the Crawford corporation. Although it was a little bumpy at the start, things were starting to stabilize and I could finally take a break. Zelma will also be leaving with Jared in a few days, so I organized for a family get together. I know that since she will be joining college in a few weeks’ time, it will be hard for us to see each other. We were at the pearl hotel and even grandfather had come along. Every time we went outside, he would always say that he doesn’t want to disturb us youngsters, but today he relented. In the private room, there was a huge round table that could fit at least fifteen people. We were not many so, we managed to occupy not even half the space. Grandfather was sitting at the main seat while Zelma sat on his left. Jared was sitting beside Zelma and next to him was Dr. Liam. He has now become a part of our family ever since he operated on grandfather and took care of me a few times. He
Chapter 90 Camilla POV… A few days went by and it was time for Zelma and Jared to return back overseas since schools will be opening soon. Although I was reluctant to part with my sister, I knew that it was only right for me to let her go. I personally sent her to the airport together with Lucien, and it was hard to part after spending three months together. At the airport… I looked at the young man standing there with the air of nobility around him, looking like a proper boyfriend. “Jared, I am leaving Zelma in your care now. She is young and clumsy, please be tolerant towards her and lead her in the right path!” I said as I clasped my hands together. “sister-in-law, don’t worry. I will take care of Zelma and I will make sure that she studies well. I will also ensure her safety and make sure that nothing happens to her.” Jared said and I was glad that he was able to understand my worries. I have noticed that although he was only eighteen, he had a very high IQ and EQ and after
Chapter 91 Camilla POV… Two weeks went by in a flash after Zelma left. Lucien and I have been extremely busy in the past two weeks. Sometimes, we would even miss each other as one would come home very late while the other left very early. Crawford corporation had met with some problem but it has been solved. Watching the share raising at a constant rate, I could finally heave a sigh of relief. In the past two weeks, I almost gave up but remembering that it took Lucien his effort and time to give me this company, I persisted. And now my hard work has started to pay off. The shareholders and other executives also had nothing to say now seeing that the company was on the right track. The voices that were against me have also quietened down. It was slightly past midday. I did not have an appetite for anything so I hadn’t had a bite for lunch. It is not just today, but for the past few days, I haven’t had the urge to eat something. Every time I came in contact with the smell of food,
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.
