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
Ellen's POVAfter Zeke's security threw me out, I put on a proud smile and looked back at the mansion. Sooner than later I would be back. As I left Zeke's house, disheveled but with my victorious smile intact, I quickly called my driver to come pick me up. “I need you to come to Zeke's place right away” I said urgently into the phone.“Right away, ma'am,” my driver responded dutifully.When he arrived, he greeted me with a curious glance. “Everything alright, ma'am?” he asked, noticing my disheveled appearance.“Everything is perfectly fine,” I replied with a confident smile.I was sure Zeke had no memory of what happened at night and for all he knows, he was not certain he slept with me. But his housekeepers and security details were there as witness, when I came out of his car with him.What was hard not to believe? I laughed at my thoughts. I caught the driver looking at me from the rear mirror.“Any problem?” I asked with a smirk.“No Ma'am.” He replied and continued driving.I e
Kamille's POVAs the bright morning light flickered into my room, I turned and fluttered my eyes open. It felt so good and warm to be home, where I belong.Alright, scrap the last part out. I stood up and went into the bathroom, I looked at my reflection in the mirror and sighed.“Hey girl, you have been through so much and you can pull this through. You have come this far, so you can definitely not give up.” After speaking to myself, I hurried over to my shower and dressed up. I had to go check on my kids and get them freshened up.I put on a black pair of shorts with a sweatshirt and walked out of my room with my flips on. I held my phone in my left hand as I approached Tyris's room.“Hello, love,” I said, reaching out to hold her hand.“Good morning mummy.” Her little voice rang out. I smiled.“How is mummy's baby feeling this morning?” I asked her while placing my hand on her forehead.“Good as new.” She replied with a cute smile.I chuckled. “We will let the doctors be the judg
Kamille's POV Hey Kamille,I have sent you the names, ID cards, and details of the home tutors. You can reach out to them when you are ready. Christopher. I smiled as I read the message from the breakfast table. Chris's thoughtfulness and care over the last few days have helped me move past what Zeke did to me. I was hurt every time I thought about what he did, but I was learning to leave him where he belonged. My past. I opened the mail and there were two tutors, a male and a female. Their profiling was perfect, so all that was left was the doctor's go-ahead.“Hurry up with your meal now, you don't want the doctor to meet you at the breakfast table,” I said to my kids who had been playing around with their food.I did not need any diagnosis to know my kids were okay, but I needed to be sure. I could not afford any chances.They finished with their meal and went with Nanny Dona upstairs, while I waited for the doctors in the living room.I sat going through my phone. My phone ha
Ellen's POV Calmly seated at the desk in my room, I scrolled through the evidence that was released on Liz and Gabriel. The video clips, the pictures and other recordings. There was too much evidence to be gotten just by anybody.If Kamille had taken these pictures, made these videos and given them to Belle before dying, why would Belle wait till now to release them?Belle was the only known friend of Kamille at the time of her death, but that fragile looking Belle did not look like she had the guts to do this.Except she had an alibi too. I stood up and began to pace anxiously in my room. I needed to be sure a tail was placed on her. I walked back to the desk and picked up my phone. Dialing Mr. Finley's number, I waited for him to answer.“Ms. Ellen,” Mr. Finley echoed through the phone.“Mr. Finley, there is someone I want you to place a tab on,” I said immediately.“Who might that be Ms. Ellen?” He asked.“I will send to you the details of where she lived and where she worked an
