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

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

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

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

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.

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,

What about you?” “I am done, I am in room 307, just come over.” I said over the phone. I was done discussing business with this man. Whether I got the deal or not, I don’t think that it matters to me. “Seems like miss West is adamant on leaving?” “Yes, there is nothing to discuss between us. My husband is coming to pick me up.” I said without sparing the man a glance. “Miss West is already married? I had no idea.” The man said. “Yeah. I am a married woman.” I spoke. Shortly after, Lucien arrived. “Why are you wearing so little? Didn’t I tell you that city N has become cold recently?” Lucien said the moment he walked in, not even sparing the man who was sitting opposite me a glance. “I am already wearing enough. Just look at how bundled up I am.” I said a

We were seating on a three-seater sofa and although this was someone’s office, I was greatly tempted.“It might take a while. I will wake you up when the doctor comes.”“Okay.” I nodded and laid my head on Lucien’s lap.

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.

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."

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.

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.
