CAMILLA

The limousine kept on driving until it came to a sudden halt. Slowly we began moving once again and a gigantic huge black gate came in view as we drove into Braden's home.

I noticed that the gate closed by itself.

It was probably electric or it was being controlled.

As we drove inside, my jaws dropped on seeing where he resided in.

The environment was so captivating. A large lawn decorated by colourful flowers and well trimmed grasses spread across everywhere.

There was a huge fountain that stood at the centre and surrounding this fountain were red roses, beautifully planted in the soil around it.

I noticed the grasses surrounding the area were perfectly trimmed and sprinklers watered it.

Mini-fountains oozing pure crystal clear water were spotted at almost every corner. I spotted some lovely picturesque buildings at the far back as our limousine kept on driving slowly

It felt like we were in a garden. The serenity was so natural. Soon enough a gigantic milky shade shadow came in view.

It was his house.

No. It was a mansion not a house.

How can one person stay in such a huge building?

His place was huge. The mansion was painted black and white, with huge wooden timber doors and two outstanding lion carved sculptures were placed at each side of the mansion.

Two huge pillars also stood at each sides of the mansion adding to it's awe-struck appearance.

My eyes drifted to the cars parked and I could swear they were up to twenty littered around the house.

Our limousine came to a sudden halt and the door was opened once again by the chauffeur.

Slowly, I stepped down from the limousine first.

The chauffer stood in waiting for me, the bags I had gotten from the mall in his hand.

"Thank you" I smiled at him and he returned it back with a warm smile.

"Get going" Braden snappily said at me and I flinched.

He walked ahead of me towards the huge doors of his mansion.

I suddenly became aware of the fact that there were many security guards patroling the environment as we walked.

Braden stopped on reaching the doors and faced me with an amused expression. He seemed to always have that look plastered on his face whenever he was staring at me.

"Slow poke. It took you long enough" Braden's bittered voice spat me.

Annoying and rude jerk...I thought to myself.

"Sorry sir" I mumbled an apology before Braden pushed open the doors.

I ponderously entered inside the grand mansion with heart thumping.

It was so imperial and lavishly designed.

The air was extremely cold inside, welcoming me in.

The mansion had two grand marble stair cases, it's rails outlined with gold and they were opposite each other, both of them leading to two seperate hallways.

I stood on what seemed like an Iranian designed rug as I took in every detail of the interior of the house.

Their were various plants pots around his large living room, each having different exotic plants growing on them.

Paintings, surprisingly nude paintings of women could be spotted around the walls of his living room.

Sheesh. What had come over Braden? This definitely wasn't the Braden I knew in the past.

His attitude and personality had totally changed and not in the good kind of way.

"Stop standing there like a log of wood and follow me" Braden suddenly snapped, startling me.

I shuffled my feet towards him and he at once yanked me by the hand even before I could protest to it.

Well there was nothing to protest to. He was my boss from now on.

"This is the kitchen Camilla" Braden said to me as we entered his huge kitchen.

As expected marble tiles decorated the walls of his kitchen and the floor of the kitchen were all black with speckles of gold that shone in rainbow flecks as the light hit them.

The touch screen induction stove was built into the marble surfaces of his kitchen counter and opposite it were various stools of different designs.

Cabinets decorated the right side of the kitchen.

In the centre of his kitchen, stood a long shiny kitchen table that could probably fit ten to fifteen people.

His kitchen was definitely huge.

"This is where you would carry out most of your duties. Breakfast must be ready by seven a.m sharp, latest seven thirty. I expect you to be up by six am. Dinner must be ready by eight p.m. Am I understood?" Braden gave me a stern look.

"Yes Br--I mean sir" I almost flopped.

Braden raised a brow at me before he continued speaking. "There's no need for me to show you all the rooms in this house because I am way too busy and I know you would find your way. Follow me"

We walked out of the kitchen and Braden pointed to a door right beneath the left staircase. "That room houses your cleaning supplies" he simply stated before making his way up the stairs.

I walked right behind him, holding tightly my bags which contained few personal belongings.

I became so lost in my thought as we climbed the stairs in silence that I missed a stair and almost tripped down but a strong grip held on to my waist.

My frightened eyes at once locked with his cold blue orbs as he held me right on time from falling down.

I probably wouldn't have survived if I did fall.

"S-sorry sir. I was just absent minded" I apologised, advertising my gaze from his.

Braden had no emotions in his eyes as he held me.

I didn't want to stare into them any longer.

His orbs burned so deeply into me. It is said that the hottest fire burns blue.

"Be careful how you walk. If you die on my property, I would be left with so many paperworks to deal with" Braden sternly said.

Braden's cold words to me some how shattered me as I had an inkling feeling that probably he felt some sort of care for me.

I nodded and the rest of our walk was in silence.

We kept on walking through the hallways until we came right in front of a white coloured door.

Pushing it open, Braden stepped in before me. I stared dewy eyed at it.

"This is your room Camilla" he announced.

This was the best room I had ever had.

My room back in Olga's was cramped and small but this was huge.

What first caught my eye was the beautifully carved ostentatious four poster bed with white and gold patterned sheets, having a caramel canopy roof over it.

Two long windows were situated at the far end, wisteria curtains drapping over them.

A beautiful foreign rug stood at the centre. I instinctively walked towards it and stepped on the silky soft rug. It felt so tender beneath my bare feet.

The room felt chilly which made me rub my hands together for warmth. My gaze then caught two air conditioners situated at opposite corners of the room and a fluorescent bulb illuminating the room with a sunset orange glow.

Wow. Braden got this room ready all for me? He already knew I would come rushing back to his feet.

Was I that desperate and was my pain that evident that I wreaked of it?

"That's the closet"Braden announced, his index finger outstretched, pointing at a black door. It jolted me out of my reverie to facing the door. I didn't even notice the two doors by the right hand side of the room; one black and the other a silver colour.

"It has all your maid outfits ready in it. And the other door is the bathroom. Remember that dinner must be ready by eight pm sharp" Braden added before walking out and shutting the door behind him.

I was all alone in the room. I shuffled my feets towards the silver door and met with a broad bathroom.

It had a jacuzzi sized bathtub in it and the sweet scent of almond and honey mixed with the air.

The toilet was also good looking too.

I sighed to myself and walked into my bedroom. All these came with a heavy price. My freedom had been ripped away from me and I was a mere toy in Braden's hands.

I couldn't help but wonder what laid in store for me in these coming five months.

  • An affair with the Billionaire    Dancing in his flames

    CAMILLA The honking sounds of a car instantly shot through my ear walls and woke me up from my slumber. I was up with the speed of lightening, my body restless. My eyes dragged to wall clock and on seeing the time, I let out a shriek. It was already 8:12! And I hadn't even prepared dinner yet.Oh fuck!I stood up in a flash and slipped my legs into my footwears. How did I sleep for this long? Today was just so tiring and I just needed a little nap. How did it turn out to be this long? I briskly sprinted through the doors and ran through the hallways like my life depended on it. Braden was back already. I could tell from the car horns that woke me up yet nothing was cooking.Sweat beads covered my forehead and jitters spread through out my body as I thought of what Braden would do to me. Probably, he might not do anything. He might let me go with a warning.Oh fuck. I wish. The Braden I had come to know now was nothing like the one I knew in the past. With a frightened heart, I

    CAMILLA I fluttered my eyes open the moment my phone's alarm vibrated in my ear followed by the incessant grumbling of my stomach. I was starving and my body ached me. Fuck.I pushed the duvets off my body and dragged my sleepy legs to the floor. I recoiled in my skin feeling the cold tiles come in contact with my bare legs. After yesterdays ordeal with Braden, I couldn't dare to even wake up a minute after six am. I took a sharp glance at the wall clock. It was 5:35am. Even though I had slept in such a very comfortable bed, I didn't have a sound slumber. My stomach grumbled on all sides, reminding me of the fact that I hadn't eaten.I was very much tempted to sneak out and prepare something light for myself in the middle of the night. But Braden was so mysterious, he moved like a hawk. I didn't even want to imagine the consequences of my actions if he caught me.So I bore my hunger till dawn.My vision was still very blurry and my eyes begged to be close but my rumbling and

  • An affair with the Billionaire    Is she the new mummy?

    CAMILLAI pushed my head against the soft duvet sheets of my bed as I reminisced on the painful moments I had encountered in these past few days.My countenance became gloomy and sorrowful, I couldn't help but sigh at how much I hated Braden's new self. The heartbreaking incident of today's breakfast played over and over again. Lone tears trickled down my cheeks as those memories continued to flash though my mind like a movie without pause. It was honestly horrifying. I was completely humiliated, my sleepy eyes caused me to cook the food without spices.No matter what I did, I just ended up getting on his nerves. I can't seem to do anything right around him. I can't even utter a proper sentence without stuttering.I tried to avoid his deadly punishments and ploys but they seem to have been magnetized to me.

  • An affair with the Billionaire    My Villain

    CAMILLA I stood rigid on the spot and at lost for words. My mouth was slightly parted and I became dumbfounded. My eyes narrowed back to the little girl who had her arms encircled around my legs before wandering back to lock with the furious orbs of Braden. He was trying so hard not to show how upset he had become but I could clearly see the wreckage that had become of his nerves. He glared at my direction, his stares dagger like which frightened me and almost made me jump out of my skin.Why was he angry at me? Was it because his daughter referred to me as the 'new mummy'? It was absurd for him to get fueled up with rage all because of that little utterance."Daddy is she the new mummy? Why aren't you saying any thing?" the girl whined, almost sobbing. Nicholas chuckled at her childish gimmicks whilst Braden fumed, obviously not happy with his eyes still stationed at me."Mummy" she called me, smiling and grinning.This was fun for her but it was scary for me. It felt like she

    CAMILLAMy eyes flew open as the sun's ray glints brightly through the faint drapery coloured curtains that covered the window.Like a programmed artificial intelligence system, I rose up from the bed at exactly 5 am to make breakfast and prepare Vanessa for school. I was already getting used to waking up so early in the morning to get everything ready before Braden wakes up. My body knows how ruthless he can be if he finds out I woke up late and didn't prepare anything. I took a glance at myself infront of the mirror, the scars from Braden's fingers still had it's prints on my face. The bruises still hurt as well, if I had asked him about his ex wife personally, I am hundred percent sure he would have done worse.From now on, I have to be cautious about what I say to Vanessa especially when we are home, I don't want Braden's merciless punishments and heart piercing threats. I had gotten enough of that for a life time.As much as it irritated me, I must make sure to please him at al

    CAMILLA Oh my God! What am I witnessing?What the actual fuck is going on here!? The red haired's loud and sultry moans filled the air as Braden kept on pounding into her so fiercely from behind.His ocean blue orbs locked with my embarrassed optics and he smirked so savagely. The hell man! He was fucking proud of this. I was the one who walked in on them fucking and I feel so embarrassed and yet these two are fucking so roughly like I'm not even in the room.My breathing tremored and my cheeks were flushed of its colours.I can't stand and watch this. The glue which held my legs to the floors disappeared and my legs trembled."I a-am s-sorry. I wi-will wait outside...I a- am s-sory..." I stuttered in embarrassment before quickly turning back and rushing out of the room, banging the door behind me.I heard Braden deeply chuckle behind me accompanied by a husky groan of content and a low 'fuck'. I can't even stand to hear people say sexual things about me talk more of seeing them

Vanessa was going to stay with her granny for some days so I had to make sure all her things were ready.A part of me wanted to prepare and serve this breakfast reluctantly, after all I'd still get the lashing of my life which ever way I chose to prepare the breakfast.I had come to a conclusion that none of my actions would avoid Branden's wrath. I caught him having sex yesterday but I was the one insulted. He spat repugnant words right in my face, rubbing the ugly past I once lived in. He doesn't know the hardship I went through, the struggle I went through just to take care of my family.I didn't chose to strip out of pleasure. I had dying needs that needed funds. If only he knew what was going on behind the scenes, he wouldn't maltreat me this much. Although he has come to be so obnoxious, not just to me but every other woman. Seeing how bad he spo

    His fourth glass, his fifth glass, his his sixth glass....the list seemed endless as Braden hills kept on sculling down more and more alcohol into his system.Music boomed from the sound systems all around him and the fog machine set the ambience of the club with colourful dim wisteria lights dazzling all around him.Braden watched as people danced around him but he wasn't in any way interested."Is this seat taken sweetheart?" A sultry feminine voice spoke, cutting into Braden's thoughts.She lingered in front of him, claded in a skimpy and half nude apparel. Her red lipstick which coated her lips seemed so sensual and her eyes shone with lust.Just staring at the blonde in front of him filled him up with distaste.She was dressed like a stripper and it only got him to think of Camilla even more.Hell he couldn't even concentrate properly. Just the thought was setting his entire body ablaze.Camilla.Always so disobedient and never submissive, she was furiously stepping on his toes.

    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

  • 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

    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
