CAMILLA

My breathing got stumped in my throat and for a moment, I was so dazed.

I couldn't even utter a single word. I could only stare at the devil who was standing so formidable in front of me, the devil that had come out of hell to drag me into its bottomless pit.

I forcefully swallowed down my uneasiness and my hands fidgeted.

My entire body was restless, embalmed in an inferno.

What the hell is Braden doing here?

Fuck. I never believed he could really track me down to here.

What does this man want from me for christsakes!

My knees felt jelly, it would cave me to the ground any moment from now.

Olga hastily came to stand by me, her hands holding on to mine as we both stared at Braden. I bet if not for her swift hold, I could have fell to the floor.

Braden tucked his hands in his pockets and majestically sauntered in like he owned the place.

My eyes followed his every moment as he took careful steps inside the house. A scull was drawn on his face followed by a pathetic look of d

  • An affair with the Billionaire    29. You signed a contract

    Camilla's pale hands slowly tried moving across the sheets of her bed. But all her efforts were in vain as a pain so excrutiating barred all her attempts to move causing her eyes to fly open in an instant. Pain. Intense pain. Every part of her body was aching in pain. How did she come to feel so much pain? What happened to her that got her feeling so much pain.Her vision was unsteady and her head felt like a dumbbell. It spinned and ached so heavily.The minute her vision adjusted, Camilla's eyesight was welcomed by blinding white lights.It exploded within her skull, trying to suck her back into her shadowy abyss of darkness.Everything was white. From the intricate white walls to white ceiling and white beaming lights almost flooding into her scelera. A beep accompanied by another beep was heard. Camilla whopped her head to see the device causing that noise she felt was annoying.A hitched gasp escaped her parted lips as her eyes locked with the various medical equipments tha

    Braden was seen, seated at the far end of an empty wooden bench in the hospital vicinity. He was looking more troubled than ever.His mind was in disarray and nothing seemed to make sense to him.His fingers randomly tapped on his thighs. Anger, Confusion and frustration--these three emotions were all causing havoc in Braden's mind. His restless self stood up from the bench and he walked out side the hospital. He began to pace round the parking lot. His troubled mind continued to distract him from the reality around him.What on earth was troubling him? Why did he feel so restless?Ever since he left Camilla's ward, he had not been himself. He paced round and round for minutes like someone who needed a solution to fix a problem."Fuck!" Braden yelled, almost raising his fist to punch one of the tinted window of a random car.He restrained himself and kept on pacing to and fro.Braden was utterly confused on what was going on. Camilla's tears seemed to have touched him in ways he co

    CAMILLAOne..two..three..I kept on counting numbers repeatedly in my head when the nurse who just left not quite long ago informed me that Braden was here and he would soon come to my ward.Apparently counting was the only thing I could think of doing to suppress the growing anxiety I had developed within me.Why I was anxious? I had no single clue. Ever since Braden and I had that heart wrenching conversation, Braden didn't step foot again inside my ward.He left me through out the entire day to myself without even bothering to show up.Atleast he could have been decent enough to show up and inquire of my health since he is the primary reason I am being hospitalised.But he did not. Strange enough, a female nurse was assigned to watch over me, attending to my every beck and call.Could Braden have been the one responsible for fixing her to attend to my needs? Probably.I mean that was really the least he could do.But that wasn't the main thing that ate up my thoughts.I could n

    CAMILLA Damn it! How does Nicholas always manage to make things worse. Who knows what Braden would say or do to me when we get home now?Just when I thought nothing else could go wrong or worse than this Nicholas had to come place a peck on my skin and more importantly, Braden fucking walked in on it!The fuck!Is my luck that bad!Braden's tight immobile glares were fixed on me, I was a bit shocked and uneasy. One could easily tell that his eyes tried to read what it just saw.Moreover I was not the wrong doer but somehow I just couldn't keep up with those eyes of his. They scared the wits out of me."Braden..." Nicholas spoke and wandered his gaze to the young nurse that stood beside Braden with crutches.Apparently those were for me."What did they say about Camilla's health?" He quickly added."You seem to worry way too much about my maid" Braden unapologetically stated causing me to almost have a fright.Damn. Why did Nicholas even do that?Could it have just been an act of frie

  • An affair with the Billionaire    33. A change of heart? Perhaps

    CAMILLAI limped my way out of the bathroom, with my bathroom robe as the only garment covering me up. My soaked blonde hair cascaded over my shoulders and stuck on to my body like a second skin. Fuck. My legs still hurt so badly.Plus I am so tired of making use of those crutches that Braden got for me.They felt so uncomfortable and literally made me feel helpless. Shit. Who is to blame for my current condition?Only one name rang in my head as a reply. Braden.He has damaged me emotional and mentally now he wants to do the same physically. I had endured his vile words and rude speeches, I was living by them everyday and my body had started growing a thick skin to all his demeaning comments about me. But spitting vile words were not enough for Braden. He had to inflict physical injury on to me.Yes he wasn't the one who pushed me down the stairs but if he had not been so barbaric towards me that fateful day then I probably wouldn't have headed to the shower to drown my sorrows

    CAMILLAI watched with all sincere enthusiasm as Braden expertly maneuvered the steering wheel to park.One could easily see the rocky sea shores from a distance. I was left in awe at the lively beach, it was so beautiful.I still can not believe I accepted Braden's invitation to spend time with him and Vanessa.Honestly it was an impulsive action, something done without giving it a second thought.I was as tensed as I was scared and confused.The words of agreement to his plan flew out of my mouth before I could even stop myself. I felt that if I refused, he would go back to his old habits of torturing me to accept and plus I didn't want to let little Vanessa down.But now that I am here, I can only wish and pray that this day turns out memorable for each of us.Without sparing a second look at either I nor Braden, Vanessa jumped down from the car and took a deep breath. I could see joy lurking around her countenance. She squealed loudly the minute her eyes caught sight of a fam

    CAMILLA My hands firmly held on to the bowl as I was whisking egg for breakfast.Time seem to flow very fast these days. Two days had passed since Braden took me and Vanessa to the beach and it all still seem like a bizarre dream that never happened. I mean I, Camilla Ross, actually enjoyed my day in the beach and I am still so shocked that I really spent a day with Braden and we did not end up in a whirl wind of arguments.Even thing felt surreal, unreal and strange.The kitchen was dead silent, I could literally hear my heart beat within my rib cages as I stood alone, drowning in my thoughts.I had never seen such a fun side to Braden as I had seen that fateful day.I was even amused that he actually liked to have fun. Braden is a workaholic and I didn't expect him to even be that playful talkmore of spending time with me.What has gotten into him?Is it a new plot of Braden to subjugate me and look for ways to demean me and my self respect?I doubted it to be honest.

    CAMILLASIX MONTHS LATER The church bells rang loudly, creating such a peaceful ambience the moment we drove in. It has been six months since the entire saga we had with Ophelia. It was really not easy for I and Braden to try and overlook everything that had happened between us but thankfully we managed to do so.And our relationship blossomed more than ever. I loved this man so much. Looking back at everything that had happened between us, there was no doubt that I and Braden were fated lovers. We were a match made in heaven. I feel like a teenager in love once again. I feel so nostalgic seeing how everything is turning out; how in love we are is just like when we were back in college. Tears welled up in my eyes but I blinked them away. "Camilla it is way too early to start crying" Mr Harold, the elderly doctor who helped in treating my bother when he needed his surgery for his heart said to me with a hearty smile. I faced him and let out a chuckle. Today was my wedding day

    Two weeks Later Camilla speedily picked out all her outfits from her closet and stacked them without even sparing a second to breathe.She was completely fed up and tired of the tribulations and mayhem that caused her heart to break all the time.This wasn't the first, second, third, or even fourth time that she had to face something detrimental to her mental health or emotions.Braden and everyone related to him brought nothing but pain to her. She was finally free from the mansion but a bigger part of her was broken.The sweet memories she had with Braden, in and out of the mansion lurked around her heart.Being free from the mansion wasn't just a reason to celebrate but a reason to mourn because she was now going to be far from the man she loved."I'm just a third wheel in Braden's love life, I was just there to hold him tight because his wife was no longer there and now that she's back he has gone back to her.

    Nicholas burst open the doors and sprinted into the mansion. His gaze immediately fell upon Braden seated on the dinning table and he was endlessly sculling down countless bottles of liquor. They were arrayed before him like numerous trophy prizes. He did not even mind the fact that Nicholas was in his house but instead his entire attention was focused on the alcohol that he kept on drowning himself in. The sight was pitiful. What had come over Braden too?Ever since Camilla left, he had turned into an alcoholic.Camilla on the other hand had become so malnourished and bony. Coming closer to Braden, the strong scent of alcohol hit him at all corners.It was nauseating even for him.Was this the real effect of their conspiracies on both Braden's and Camilla's life? They were miserable without each other and they were both killing themselves with each passing day. Oh God. Nicholas felt like crying on seeing how miserable his friend had become but he held himself together."Braden

  • An affair with the Billionaire    118. Divulging the entire truth

    Her heart was punctured, torn to pieces and damaged so severely.There comes a stage in life when tears can not even express the severity of grief, pain and heartache you are feeling. That moment in one's life when the ability to cry and shed tears has been taken away from you totally. You want to cry to your heart's content but no. You just can not cry again no matter how hard you try to.Because your body, mind and soul is weak. Your eyes are reddenned, covered with dark spots and swollen. It has no more tears left to give.The pain is too much to bear that even your body can no longer express the type of grief you are experiencing. It is a terrible feeling. And what is more even terrible is when this immense pain is caused by 'heartbreak'. Heartbreak is like a mini death, your heart shuts down your ability to function propely and engage in your daily activities.Even eating may seem so strenuous to you. Depression subdues your thought and you just can not quickly move on no m

    CAMILLAMy heart heaved like the weight of a dumbbell as the excruciating pain brewed up in my chest continuously.My heart shattering into a million pieces was an understatement of what I was feeling. I felt like drowning myself to death.I felt my existence disappearing into thin air.I thought we were developing a strong love for each other again but it turns out that I was just been used because I was easy to sway.I feel so foolish for letting myself into his life again, he used me and went back to his wife after promising to never go back to her.What was I expecting? For Braden to leave the woman who he took an oath with on the altar and choose his mere maid? Now it sounds ridiculous.Ophelia did warn me, she said she made it clear to me that Braden is hers no matter what I did and this proves it all. I can not believe I confidently retorted back at her and told her that her plans would never work.Now I see the marital bbond between Braden and Ophelia, it is unbreakable no mat

    CAMILLA I arrived back from Olga's place a little earlier than I planned to. I wanted to surprise Braden because earlier yesterday before leaving, I had told him I would be back late in the evening. I told him that to see his reaction and if he would still let me leave but to my utmost shock, he still gave me open doors to leave and go enjoy being with my family. I came back earlier this morning and steathily tiptoed up the stairs with giggles trying to escape my lips. I pressed back my sudden eagerness to see Braden which was coated all over my face when I had begun approaching Braden's room and the faraway sound of two people talking hit my ear walls. As I approached further, the sound grew louder till I had gotten to Braden's door.I could fully recognise the voices now. It was Braden and Ophelia. From the outside, one could tell that the conversation was heated and intense with the intonation of their voices. My curiousity was piqued and a sudden restlessness overwhelmed

    The soft rays emitting from the sun through the transparent linen curtain hit Braden's face, toning his skin in the process. He pinched his eyes tight shut before turning his head away from the sun's glistening rays but it was off no use any more.His sleep had been interrupted and he could not sleep back.Slowly, his eyes fluttered open and a yawn escaped his peach lips. Stirring up from his deep slumber, Braden flew his eyes open in an instant only to be hit by a severe banging pain that seemed to almost shatter his skull. Letting out a hiss in pain, he trailed a finger to his temples, massaging everywhere in hopes of calming down the skull shattering ache that throbbed all over his head. It seemed to be as painful as a migraine but it was not. It was affecting all sides of his head. His vision was very much blurry and hazy causing him to close his eyes tight shut in a bid to try and readjust his sight. Opening his eyes once more again, Braden could now see but not ful

    The heart they say is deadly, the desires of the heart exerts a powerful influence in the actions of an individual. It could either be good or bad. But in dire cases, when the heart can not get what it wants, the person then goes to extreme measures to get their hearts desire be it a good or bad one. Love they say is another weapon that could be used for either good or bad. Healthy love is like medicine to the body.It heals you even without you realising.That type of love is the love that makes you understand that you actually can not control how people feel about you.You might love someone with your whole heart but if the person is not interested in being with you, you can not hold the person accountable for it.Healthy love makes one understand that in life, some people may never reciprocate how we feel about them no matter how genuine and true it is.So instead of sulking and killing your mental stability with depression, you do yourself a big favour by just letting go of the

    CAMILLA With a rush of excitement building in me, I knocked on Olga's front door as I patiently waited for a response.In a split second, the door opened up to reveal the elderly but beautiful face of Olga in a blue long dress standing with a surprised look plastered on her face."Camilla?!" Olga articulated gleefully. With a beaming smile, she rushed to give me a very tight hug. "Olga," I responded calmly as I gave into the warm embrace. I was so happy to see Olga after all these months of staying in Braden's house.She was also very happy to see me, that bright smile and high-pitched voice of hers were enough to know."Jason!! your sister is here!" Olga turned and yelled into the quiet house.Loud footsteps of someone running met my ears immediately, Jason jumped out of nowhere and exclaimed happilythe minute he noticed me and I squealed for joy as well."Camilla!" he cheerfully called out."Jason" Euphoria pulsated through my veins as my eyes landed on his healthy orbs.I felt so
