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

  • An 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

    CAMILLAMy eyes widened at once at the sudden intrusion. It was such a painful kiss.I groaned in protest as his tongue forced its way into my mouth. It was a dominating, angry kiss.He bit on my bottom lip hard, making me groan out again in pain.There was nothing sensual in this kiss. It was extremely painful.I felt Braden's rough fingers gripping on to my gown and in a swift motion, I heard a loud rip that echoed round the room.He just tore my gown.Oh God.His lips plundered mine so roughly as his hands tore my gown from my body, letting it fall to the ground.I was pretty sure my lips would be bleeding once he was done.He pushed me more roughly against the window making me whimper underneath his frame. He instantly tore my bra from my body. He was literally stripping me naked.I wouldn't take this. I furiously gripped on to his shirt and tried tugging it off. If he was stripping me naked then I would also strip him off his clothes too.This was a battle. He was really proving

    CAMILLA My eyes squeezed tightly shut as my body gradually curled up on the bed. Slowly fluttering my eyes open, the warm rays of the sunlight hit my sight. As my vision slowly adjusted, it took a while for me to gain full consciousness of myself and my surroundings.I let out a lazy yawn, stretching my arms fully. Everything seemed blur at first, my mind was still heavily blank.Slowly I realised that the room I laid in was certainly not my room. It was splashed and saturated with a monochrome of black colours. From the marble walls, to the colours of the curtain, to the bedsheet and duvet-- everything was all black.Then it dawned on me and I immediately let out a gasp.This was Braden's room.Hell no!What am I doing in Braden's fucking room? As soon the thought entered my mind, memories of what happened between us yesterday night rushed back to me without restraint like flood waters. He had sex with me and it was forced.I had come into his room with the sole purpose of find

    BRADEN "Damn I never believed any of this could actually work out..." Thomas told me, flopping his head backwards as he sat on the chair. He placed a hand on his face and massaged his temples whilst I took a sip of the alcoholic wine poured into my wine glass."I saw the buyout rate, the shares, the legal and financial backing...I could go and on. Man you are ready for this" I chuckled at him.Thomas raised his face up and a warm smile broke on his lips. "Thank you Braden. Thank you so very much. I just knew you would come through for me. Imagine both of us working together in this technologically advanced world. Damn we would make millions every day. With your proposed investment plans into this project, this bot would be a game changer in the field of technology as we know it!" Laughter left my lips, filling the air as Thomas joined me in laughing.Thomas really deserves it. Over the weeks, I saw him work hard to make sure this partnership was a success. He was really an

    BRADEN"I beg your pardon..." Thomas shot almost immediately. "You fucking thief! So you came to try and snatch your own brother's wealth. Do you have no shame at all?!" Nicholas retorted back.He was defensive.I was as confused as I was exasperated listening to Nicholas rage like a mad bull. "Nicholas are you insane? Do not tell me you came all the way here to cause havoc in my home. What the hell is wrong with you!?" I growled.Nicholas let out a dry chuckle. "Braden I never believed you could ever be this gullible you know. Honestly. If someone had told me that Braden would fall for such a trick to ensnare him, I would have labelled the person a liar. And all for what? All for family ties. In this business of ours, you of all people should know that you have to keep family ties away!" "What the hell are you insinuating?"Thomas was livid with anger at this point."When Camilla told me about what you were about doing Braden, I knew she was being truthful but at the same time I fou

    BRADEN"There are still more surprising clauses so calm down" Nicholas smiled as he took the contracts from me."You probably didn't read through it again because you felt you had read the contract before. I do not know any thing about this contract but I am targeting the places whereby I know are the most important""Article 13 of the contract. Wow this is seems amazing. What do we have here" Nicholas chuckled after a brief moment silence as his eyes took in every detail."Read the fucking thing out!" I growled, my anger getting the best of me. "Article 13 with the heading 'General'. Section 13.4 says that by signing this contract Party A, which is you Braden, agree to the fact that in the course of this partnership, this contract can be modified at any time by Party B with or without your prior consent and your rights might or might not remain the same whenever party B seems it fit to do so and you are mandated to sign whatever changes are made..."I listened to Nicholas go on with

    BRADENI was pulsating to the fear that gripped my heart firmly. Clenching onto the steering I continued to maneuver it like I had a second life. If only I could disappear, I am sure I would have appeared there in that hospital by now.My body and soul were completely disconnected, I swerved the car to overtake other cars that drove too slow, I was in such a hurry and I knew how urgent the issue was so that was why I cared less about my driving recklessly.Memories of Camilla yelling and wailing from the torments I inflicted on her brewed up inside me causing this sting of guilt to curb me whole. I tortured her last night for a help she was trying to render, she was goddamn innocent and I spat hateful words on her face and used them to her displeasure all because I believed that bastard I call a cousin."Fuck off the way!" I yelled and overtook the oblivious driver in front of me. He was literally pinging on his phone, I didn't even have enough space in my heart to get irritated at hi

    BRADEN "Get me the peace maker and chest compressions fast!" I heard the doctor command in a haste. They were all relentless in doing their best to save Camilla."She has lost enough blood already and her heart is not pumping efficiently" he added. At some point, I felt the air being sucked away from my lungs. My limbs grew weak as I perched outside the doors to Camilla's ward. Holding onto the handle for support, I almost forgot to breathe whilst I stared at was what going on. It felt like I was claustrophobic. Nothing seemed to make sense any more. I cried more, my heart piercing into multiple pieces. I brought this upon Camilla. "Hello Braden?""Hello are you there man? fucking talk!" Nicholas was restless over the phone as he lashed at me but I could not say a word.Nothing was making sense to me any more."Braden..fuck" Nicholas hanged up in sheer annoyance.Fuck. I should have listeners to her! But I fully trusted Thomas so blindly and now Camilla is paying dearly for my m

    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. My time here is over so I need to walk out of his life for the secon

    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

    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
