An affair with the Billionaire 57. I am really sorry Camilla
CAMILLA It has been almost two weeks since those torrential events happened. Even up till now, I still found it hard to believe that I was sent to jail on account of a crime I knew nothing about. And what makes it all more shocking to me is the way Braden stood up for me. I honestly thought he would side with Tessa and take that opportunity as another avenue to belittle me and embarrass me in the presence of everyone.But Braden really stood up for me and helped me get out of jail.Whenever I think of it or duel on the matter, I am beyond words. He trusts me to that extent of believing I am not a thief.Reminiscing on our relationship these past few weeks, I have actually come to notice that he does not lash at me as much as he used to in the past.Though, once in a while, he does get irritated at me and snaps at me but it is not being done often.Sometimes when it seems like he wants to loose his cool, he just takes a breathe in and walks away.I guess Tessa's incident must have

CAMILLAI watched Braden embrace the young man whom addressed him as 'Bro'. For a while, I was lost in the sea of confusion wondering if that man was truly Braden's blood brother.But then I remembered that Braden was an only child of his poor parents--poor parents back then well so probably this man could just be his close associate. "It has really been such a while. I mean look at you" Braden playfully ruffled the young man's hair. The man smacked his hands away with a chortle. "Can you please stop doing that whenever we see? Like I know you are older than I am but I am an adult too Braden" the man protested."Not a chance. Come on in please" Braden smiled gleefully as he led him inside.I just sat like a clueless spectator, glued to the chair and wondering what sort of relationship they shared.They seemed really close, closer than Braden and Nicholas if you asked me.Well Braden's and Nicholas relationship these days had turned a bit sour. I would not want to say it was my fa
Last Updated : 2023-03-05An affair with the Billionaire 59. I will destroy Braden
CAMILLAI held onto the vegetable placed on the chopping board, with a knife in my right hand. I chopped the vegetables whilst playing past scenes of Braden and Nicholas'argument.While I was dealing with the whole Thomas saga, my mind was also not at peace because of the growing feud between Braden and Nicholas.Thomas had not come over for quite some days and I was so grateful for that. It gave me enough time to focus on what was going on between Nicholas and Braden.Some few hours ago, I could hear Braden raging so fiercely over the phone. At first I was perplexed and I wondered which poor employee of his he was lashing out on until I heard him mention Nicholas and my heart sank in my stomach. It was not a funny ordeal. He even attacked Nicholas of trying to sleep with me. Heavens know what led to that conversation.And it is so strange because days ago, they worked hand in hand to get me released from jail and now this.I always had the feeling that they would suddenly come to a d
Last Updated : 2023-03-07An affair with the Billionaire 60. Camilla's Trick
CAMILLA It suddenly felt like I had become immovable as I was glued onto the corners of the doorway. My heart pounded in my ears and my breathing escalated so tremendously, becoming so rapid. Did I just hear him right or was I making up those stuffs in my head?My frigid orbs trailed once more towards Thomas as he stood on the inside of the room, with his back turned against me. "Trust me on this. He is a fool. A big one. He thinks he owns and knows everything but I'll show him just exactly how much he owns. He is a big fool Ophelia" Thomas sneered to whoever was at the end of the call. Fuck.This man is not who he claims to me.No wonder my guts did not seat well with his offer. He is a big scam. He wants to destroy Braden."You see this entire property of his? I will get it baby. Just give me two weeks. In those two weeks, I will make Braden sign away his wealth and assets to me. And then I and you will live and thrive on it. We will build our own empire together" Thomas let
Last Updated : 2023-03-08An affair with the Billionaire 61. I am just trying to protect you!
CAMILLAI meandered and paced around my room like a soldier pondering on his next attack, my case was quite the opposite. I wasn't planning an attack, I was working on delivering Braden from an attack.With both hands behind me I pondered immensely as the light thunderstorms echoed around the house. The weather was cold and chilly, the rain drizzled and the sky grew darker by the minute.My mind was far from myself or my surroundings, there was this purging drive in me to figure out a way to warn Braden. I can't see his future destruction and decide to keep quiet about it.Braden doesn't deserve what Thomas has in store for him, yes he can be harsh and unbearable sometimes but that doesn't make me hate him.If I told Braden about Thomas he wouldn't believe me, he has known his cousin since he was a child so how can he trust me over his cousin?The thoughts took away my ease. I couldn't even think straight about any other thing. But why does Thomas want to take Braden's wealth? How can
Last Updated : 2023-03-09An affair with the Billionaire 62. I will kill you Camilla
The mansion was thrown into a graveyard of silence with the sunset spreading a warm glow over it. The only thing heard downstairs was the clattering of plates--it was mild but audible enough.Camilla dropped the last plate which contained the green peas on the dining table. She was done preparing dinner. But hunger eroded her. How could she have an appetite when Braden was on the verge of loosing everything he ever owned. Camilla sighed dejectedly, her forehead covered in bullet sweat beads. If only Braden knew the trap he was setting himself up for.Never had she seen a man more hard to deal with than her infamous ex boyfriend-- Braden Hills."Camilla" Braden's rich voice resonated through the walls of the mansion. Camilla jerked like someone in deep thoughts and travelled her gaze to the sound of his voice.Her eyes flagged up and right there stood Braden, looking intimidating as ever as he stood by the edge of the stairs."Yes?" Camilla midly replied with a question."Is dinne
Last Updated : 2023-03-10An affair with the Billionaire 63. Desperate measures
CAMILLA Anxiety, desperation and fear held me captive in their treacherous hold, sinking my heart into their abyss of sorrow. Four days had passed since I revealed to Thomas that I was aware of his ploys and schemes. And he actually threatened to kill me. Everything going on was oblivious to Braden. He did not want to believe me. I am always seen as the wrong doer, the villain and the wicked person. Meanwhile my intentions are just pure and true. I am just trying to save Braden here. I could just walk away and pretend that I no knowing of Thomas' plots but that was not me. Braden has being wicked and uncaring towards me ever since I began working for him but I can not afford to change who I am because of him.I can not stop being good because he is bad to me. My conscience will not even let me sit back and watch him plunge himself into ruin.These days I hardly get enough rest because of my anxiety and worriedness to save Braden. I let out a frustrated hiss as I sat on the b
Last Updated : 2023-03-11An affair with the Billionaire Heated up feelings
CAMILLA Silence hung on the air. It was heavy, deadly and suffocating. I could barely even breathe even though the room was so ventilated. Standing before me, with his profile blending in the dark was Braden.His blue orbs shone in the dark and his jawline seemed so sharp like it could cut through anything. Braden took slow raptorial steps foward causing me to inadvertently move backwards. His face came into limelight as the moon rays hit his profile. He looked so sinful and so dangerous. His sleeves were folded to elbow length and a few tucked out buttons added to his profile.His hair was ruffled and as black as the midnight. I stared at him in absolute terror and fright not knowing how to bale myself out of this mess. His eyes scrutinised my facial expression before slowly traveling down to meet the contract in my shaky hands."Camilla" his voice was low, shaking the air around us."Yes" my voice was barely above a whisper. I was trying to keep myself afloat and not crumbling

An affair with the Billionaire 121. Epilogue
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
An affair with the Billionaire 120. Peace at last
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. My time here is over so I need to walk out of his life for the secon
An affair with the Billionaire 119. You will rot in jail!
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
An affair with the Billionaire 117. Finally free
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
An affair with the Billionaire 116. Betrayal
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
An affair with the Billionaire 115. A shocking discovery
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
An affair with the Billionaire 114. Seduction
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
An affair with the Billionaire 113. A visit to my family
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
