Kamilles POVAt the break of dawn, I was jolted awake by Royer's gentle shaking, his voice filled with a pitiful cry. "Mom, wake up." He tapped me again. "I feel fine and I want to go to school with Reon, Torin and Tyris today," he insisted, his eyes pleading with me to understand.Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I couldn't help but smile at his eagerness. "Hold on, Royer. Let's wait for the doctor to give the final word," I replied, my voice soft but firm.Already awakened by Royer, I freshened him up and got him dressed. His excitement was beautiful to watch as chattered animatedly about his plans for the day. Despite my lingering worries, his infectious enthusiasm brought a smile to my face.Once Royer was ready, I took him to the mini kitchen in the private ward and prepared a simple breakfast for the two of us. After breakfast, I made my way to the doctor's office. Royer's hand was clasped firmly in mine as I approached the receptionist, "Excuse me, could I speak to Dr. John abo
Kamilles POV“Are you okay, Belle?” I asked clearly worried. My kids heard me say Belle and started asking to speak to her her.“Mummy, mummy, Aunty Belle.” Tyris said and she scrambled with her seatbelt behind.“Stay put Tyris. You'll talk to Aunty Belle once you're back from school.” I urged and Belle chuckled from the other end of the line.“How are the kids?” She asked. Her voice was heavy with emotion and it got me worried and I momentarily forgot my kids scrambling to unlatch their seatbelts.“They are fine Belle, but are you?” I asked slowly.“Please Kam, don't worry about me. I'm in my pms window so I have been having series of emotions but I will be fine.” She replied. I could feel her smile sadly.I knew she normally had severe pms symptoms, and Amanda always teased her about it. But this time, we were worried it could be more than that. I sighed.“Alright love. Let's meet up soon. You, Amy and I. There's a lot we need to catch up on.” I said calmly oblivious to the chaos go
Kamilles POV“Are you okay Chris?” I asked, noticing his mood was gradually changing.His expression had shifted from concern to anger, the lines of his face drawn tight with tension. My heart clenched with worry as I watched him, wondering what had sparked such intense emotion in him.He forced a tight-lipped smile, but his eyes betrayed his smile as they were already darkened by rage. “I'm fine, Kamille,” he replied, his tone strained. “I'm just... uhh…. I'm trying to process everything.”I nodded, though his words did little to calm my unease. Something was clearly bothering him.“What do you mean?” I asked, furrowing my brow in confusion.For a moment, Chris hesitated, his gaze flickering away before returning to meet mine. “It's just... I can't help but wonder what Zeke's part in all of this is.” He admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.My heart skipped a beat at his words, a knot forming in the pit of my stomach. What the hell is he saying?“What are you saying, Chris?” I
Zeke's POVI did not go to work today, nor did I go to the hospital. I was still not sure of Kamille's state of heart. But I would stop by in the evening nonetheless.I decided to go to my study to finish up some paperwork. As I was preparing to leave my room, my phone suddenly rang, jolting me from my thoughts. I picked up the call and waited for him to speak.“What do you mean the kids were in an accident?” I asked, my voice tinged with shock and anger.The security personnel on the other end of the line struggled to explain the situation, his words were rushed and frantic. “Sir, they were chased by a black mini van. We ran to check the plate number but it was non-existent.” he explained urgently. “And where the hell were you? How did this happen? Where are the kids now?” I demanded, my tone sharp.The security personnel hesitated before responding, his voice heavy with regret. “Sir, the kids left the hospital with their mother to school.” he explained.“Kamille and Royer were in
Kamilles POVTears streamed down my face, unchecked and raw, as I finally allowed myself to release the flood of emotions that had been building inside me.“Why?” I asked slowly, my voice cracking with anguish. “What were you aiming at Zeke?”Zeke stared at me in shock, his hand pressed to his stinging cheek. “Kamille, I-”I didn't let him finish. The words spilled from my lips in a torrent of pain and anger, each one laced with the bitter taste of betrayal. “Was everything you did for me just a façade?” I demanded, my voice rising with each word. “Did you only come to my rescue because you knew something like this would happen? Were you just playing the hero all along?”Zeke's expression softened, his eyes pleading with me to understand. “No, Kamille, that's now-”But I cut him off again, unable to bear the thought of his excuses. “If that's true, then I want nothing to do with you,” I declared. “And I told you already, we can't be together again.Zeke's face had fallen and he stood
Chapter 62Zeke's POVPlease, Zeke. Don't. Kamille's words kept replaying in my head as I left the hospital garden. My emotions roared inside me like a stormy sea but I could not show it.My demeanor became very cold and aloof wrapping around my heart like an icy grip. Anger coursed through me as I kept thinking of what had just happened. Hurt and pain gnawed at my insides, a deep ache that seemed to consume me from within.Each step I took felt heavy, weighed down by the burden of my emotions. My jaw shut tightly, teeth grinding together with suppressed frustration. My fists clenched at my sides, nails digging into my palms as I fought to contain the turmoil raging within me.I walked back into the hospital. The nurses scurried past me. My face bore no warmth and my expression was grim till I arrived at Doctor John's office.As I approached the office, I opened the door to meet him scribbling down something on a patient’s folder. “Release them,” I said dryly.The doctor had stopped
Ellen's POVFather had said by noon today we would have received the news of his instruction for Zeke's children. He ordered their car be rammed into causing an accident that would leave the kids dead.His men had decided to attack when they felt the security personnel was less on Zeke's part, so they attacked the kids on their way to school.Since that information, we were yet to receive any feedback from them and dusk was soon approaching. I could not help but feel something was off, something was definitely not right and the thought of it made me nauseous.What the hell must have happened?Father and I sat in anticipation, looking at the TV in the living room for any news involving any of Zeke's cars but nothing was aired of that sort. My father's brow furrowed in worry, his eyes fixed on his phone as we awaited the crucial update from Mr. Finley.Ring! Ring! Father hurried and picked up the call. “What took you so long?” He roared into the phone.“I'm sorry Sir, but we have been
Ellen's POVThe sound of Zeke's voice halted their advance, and I turned to see him approaching. Although his expression was unreadable, I felt a sense of relief at the sight of him but I masked it behind a veneer of composure.Seizing the opportunity, I walked past the security detail without resistance, knowing that Zeke's presence alone would deter them from pursuing me further.As I approached Zeke, I could feel his gaze piercing through me, his eyes were complicated and he reeked of alcohol.Reaching his side, I gently supported him, concern etched into my features. “Baby, what's wrong with you?” I asked softly, my voice laced with worry. “You look like you've seen a ghost.”But before he could respond, I shook my head, dismissing the question. “Forget it,” I said firmly, my tone leaving no room for argument. “Let's get you home.”With a subtle nod from Zeke, we began to make our way out of the casino, leaving behind the prying eyes and lingering questions. We used the private e
