CHAPTER 1
Last Updated:
2021-05-27 20:22:43The atmosphere was very tense and silent. Nobody spoke since the dinner had started. The soft beat of the rain against the roof of the house didn’t seem to help matters. The only sound was the sound of the spoon meeting the plates and the heavy breathing of the occupants of the table. Camila looked around the table, wandering what was wrong. She looked at her eldest brother Ace, his dark hair and eyes seemed than usual and he had a scowl on his face but he always had a scowl on his face, Diego sat beside him with short hair and blue eyes, he looked sad and annoyed and his twin Xavier shared the exact look. Matias just looked bored out of his mind and slightly worried.
“is something wrong?” her mother asked in a distraught voice which finally broke the silence which hung over the family table for so long. Ace seemed happy at this development because finally he could speak since someone had spoken.
“yes papa, please tell them what is wrong?” he hissed at his father who raised an eyebrow and dropped the glass of wine he was holding.
“well, it has been decided that the engagement ceremony of Camila and Roman will be tomorrow” there was pin drop silence in the room. Camila’s heart dropped to the ground. She couldn’t believe it. They were giving her to someone she’d never met and of all people, Roman Romero.
“Leonardo, how come I wasn’t told about this?” her mother argued in a sad tone.
“I wanted it to be a surprise”
“surprise my foot, she’s only 19 years” Diego spat out gesturing to Camila who was still shocked. “she hasn’t even finished school yet”
“as much as I hate this, this is no way to speak to your father” her mother said in a warning tone.
“she can still school” her father said annoyed with his sons’ bickering. “we are not going to cancel the engagement and it is final” he slammed his fist on the table and everybody went silent. “Camila?” he turned to face his daughter but she was long gone. They all stared at the chair in silence unsure of what to do. Ace stood up alongside Diego and the rest of his brothers.
“search around the house for her” he ordered and they scurried off. He gave his father a stink eye before walking silently out of the room.
Camila walked down the dirt road, her hands held firmly around her body to try and keep warm. The weather was chilly though the rain had stopped and she had nothing on but the thin silk frock she’d worn for dinner. Dinner was a disaster. She never thought this would happen in a million years. That they’ll give her to some random guy.
She stopped when she came to the stream. The sound of the water seemed to have a calming effect on her. It helped relax her mind whenever she needed it. She sat on her favorite rock and started to throe pebbles into the river.
“you could get a cold, you know” Ace’s voice rang through the air. She turned swiftly to face her brother. He stepped forward and sat on the rock beside her. He placed his jacket over her cold body “I’m sorry, I tried but papa can be stubborn at times” Ace said with a sigh.
“it’s so stupid” Camila said with a sniffle.
“but it doesn’t mean you are getting married yet” she nodded and leaned on her brother’s shoulder. Her eyes were closing.
“sleep ti amore” Ace murmured.

Camila I stared at the mirror unsure if the person I was looking at was me. My long black was braided a tone side and left to rest on the other side of my shoulder, my brown eyes were bright yet had a sad gleam to them. I wore a long handless black gown that had a long slit, up to my knee. I applied some lipstick and paired my outfit with a silver pair of high heels. ‘you look pretty” my mother said observing me from across the room, I turned to face her with a small smile. She sighed and walked over to me, and place her two hands on my shoulder. “everything is going to be fine, sometimes your father thinks he does what is best for you but …I just need you to try and be happy” I nodded solemnly at her words as she led me out of the room to where my brothers were standing. Naturally, my brothers wouldn’t let me wear the dress I currently wore but they had to ignore since it e=was my father had chosen it. They walked in front of me and led the way other big hall we had

Camila I groaned and rolled in my bed when I heard the alarm clock ring. I sat up and stared around the room. I almost had a heart attack when I realized I wasn’t in my room. The ceiling was white for one, I know I always had peach walls. I stared around the larger room. It was white from bottom to ceiling. I lay on a four poster bed covered in white sheets. There were two doors, probably leading to the bathroom and closet. I slipped out of my bed and looked at all my bags stuffed ata corner. I was in Roman’s house. My eyes moved down to the emerald ring that encircled my finger. The events of yesterday came rushing through my head. I was engaged to the cocky arrogant billionaire. So much for life. I stared at the alarm clock and gasped. It was 7:45 and school staretd at 8:15. I ran into the shower; it was as big as my bathroom back home but I didn’t let my mind rest on that for long. I took a quick bath and stepped out. I chose a white hoodie that I stole from Xavie

The car ride to the house was quiet and the silence was suffocating. There’s just something about Roman that was different from other guys I’ve met. I liked him though I met him yesterday and I was also scared shitless of him. He was cocky, arrogant and hardly let people see the part of him I was seeing. His possessiveness. “what are you thinking about?” he asked me as we pulled into his driveway. His house was huge, like huge and almost bigger than a normal mansion. It was painted white and gold. It had huge pillars and large marble stairs that led to the front door. “Camila” he almost yelled. I turned to him startled. “you zone out a lot and it’s not safe” he opened his car door and stepped out. He opened my door for me, I looked around for my bag and phone and released that I left it in school. “oh shit” I cursed almost face palming. “language” Roman boomed. I almost jumped when I heard his voice. “I’ve already ordered for your books to be brought home alo

The dress was a long off shoulder red gown with a shiny bodice. I stared at it in awe. It was just a dinner and yet the dress looked very costly. I took off my dress and wore the dress. I stared at the mirror when I heard a knock on my door. I walked to it and opened it expecting to see Roman but instead I saw a young girl about my age, in a short white gown. She had short black hair and freckles on her face. “good day miss, I was sent to help you prepare” I opened the door wider for her to come in. she walked in and set her equipment down. “I’m Elena” “Camila, please” I sat down on the stool and she got to work doing my makeup first then my hair. Once she was done. I opened my eyes and stared at the mirror. “I must say you look pretty” she said in a small voice. I smiled at her and stood. It was already quarter to 7 and I had to be down soon. I took the red purse ash handed me and walked out of my door. I walked down the stairs slowly to ensure I didn’t trip

“Dude, let me see her” I heard someone say from outside my door. I groaned and sat up in my bed. I could hear many voices behind my closed door. I stood up and walked to the door. “if you wake her, I’ll kill you” I heard Roman threaten. I opened the door and the conversation ceased. Roman leaned on the door frame with two other guys beside him. “it was totally, Mr. grumpy here” the brunette said nudging Roman who gave him a death stare. “good morning princess, sorry theses idiots are here, these are Harry and Elijah” Harry was a brunette with green eyes while Elijah was hazel eyed with tattooed skin. “guys, this is Camila” “she looks good and I’m sure she’s also good in...” Harry started to say but he was cut off by Roman digging his eyebrow into his stomach. Harry fell to the ground with a dramatic groan and Elijah rolled his eyes. I chuckled. “remember school today” Roman said as they headed down the stairs. I shut my room door and went for a shower

Roman I hate work. I hate paper work especially and I hate having to wear a suit every time I step out of my home. It’s all about reputation. My father’s words not mine. I knotted the freaking tie and pulled on my blazers. I swept my comb through my hair a couple times before heading down the stairs. Harry stood at the door twirling the keys to the car in his hands with his finger. “took you long enough, who’re you trying to impress, Camila? I swear Harry was as annoying as a fly. I pushed him against the wall and stared him in the face. “one more freaking word and I’m going to kill you” he nodded frantically and I let him go. I headed into the car and he entered the driver’s seat and drove off to the Romero empire. It was a large 24 story building, made of glass, at least most part of it. “we’re here” Harry said in a chirpy voice. That was one thing I liked about him, he never stayed angry or annoyed for long. I shook my head in amusement as

My head was pounding and I was wondering what Roman was going to do to David. He came back into the room with a calm face. “David has been taken care of” I stared up at him. “what did you do?” I asked him. He shrugged with a smirk plastered on his face. “nothing to worry about, so want to go get some ice cream? My eyes lit up and I nodded eagerly. He chuckled softly. I stood up and grabbed another hoddie to change. I tied my wild hair into a ponytail before skipping down the stairs dramatically. We walked to his Bugatti and got in. ice cream was my number one cheer up tactic. “you seem excited” Roman observed as we drove down the streets. I blushed crimson and stared out of the window. We finally pulled up at my favorite ice cream place, Vanilla island even though they had other flavors. I jumped out of the car and ran inside, Roman tagging along. We went to the counter and ordered our ice cream. We sat my favorite booth, at the very back of t

The sound of soft snoring woke me up from my deep slumber. I turned slowly and my eyes met that of Roman’s. he looked so young and youthful when he slept, his hair was tousled over his head and his lips parted a little to release a little gush of air every time he breathed. I turned to observe the room, it was dark themed with blood red curtains standing at a corner. The room was dark apart from the tiny streaks of sunlight that escaped through the curtains. “hey’ I heard Roman murmur sleepily. His voice was husky and tired. “good morning” I replied slipping out of the bed. Roman sat up using his elbow to brace himself up and stared at me. I looked down at my outfit, I had sleepily managed to change my clothes last night but how I ended up in his room, I don’t know. “what a site, miss. Santiago” Roman said and a blush creeped up my face. I stalked out of the room and headed for mine to save myself further embarrassment. I entered my room and shut the door. I

Even though she was in pain Camila still had the mind to roll her eyes and push a bit harder. she was tired, sweat dripped off her naked body and she could feel the life being sucked out of her. "im never letting him stick his prick into me" she cried out, pushing harder. Ace laughed, trying to ease the tension a bit. "I'm tired" she finally sighed, relaxing a bit."just one more, baby that's all I need from you, the baby is almost here" Ace said to her, pushing wet locks of her hair out if her face."Can't Ace" she was breathing heavily now, trying to regain

"well isn't this wonderful" a voice came from the door where the visitors stood watching Camila and Roman sleep. Roman peeked open his eyes and stared at them with an annoyed expression."wake her the fuck up and i'll fuck you up" he said to his brother who's spoken. His brother rolled his eyes taking his threat as nothing. Roman nodded his head at Camila's brothers who were looking over each others shoulder trying to get a peek of what was happening jn the room. "why the hell are you guys blocking the door?" Olivia yelled drom outside the door, pushing through the group packed at the door."whats happening?" came a small voice and everyone turned to see a drowsy Camila trying to keep her eyes open. Olvia muttered an apology even though she was not sorry. she hopped to where Camila sat and patted her head softly."you look like shit" Olivia said.Camila rolled her eyes "thanks alot, i appreciate""you look beautiful honey" Roman said throwing a random glare at Olivia who just shrugge
CAMILA CHAPTER 41: PART 1
Camila groaned, a loud beeping sound filtering through her poor ears. She wanted it to stop but she did not know how to make it stop. She opened her heavy eye lids slowly and looked around the white coated room. She could smell the antiseptic and it made her sick. She knew for sure that she was In the hospital. Turning her head, she spotted a figure slumped in a chair in the corner of the room, snores emitting from his open mouth. It was roman with his shirt rolled up exposing his arms folded firmly across his chest. Camila chuckled at the sight of him and sat up a bit. She looked at her arm where the iv was connected, feeling she didn’t need it, she pulled out the needle from her skin and every other thing that was connected to her. The heart monitor began to beep loudly, jolting roman out of his sleep, he looked around the room until his eyes landed on Camila who was staring at him. “you’re awake” he stated, taking a seat beside her. He bent low and kissed her head. “im sorry” t
CAMILA CHAPTER 40
Being pregnant wasn’t really what Camila thought it was going to be. She threw up almost every morning and had very weird cravings throughout the entire day. Her temper was a very high notch and Roman even got annoyed. She could hardly do much because she felt sick all the time so Roman became her personal caretaker. “can I get a glass of water?’ Camila asked, looking up at Roman from her laying down position. He looked up at her from his computer and sighed. He was prepared already. He just poured some water from a jug on the side table and handed it to her. Camila drank the water, scrunched up her face but made no comment. Roman raised an eyebrow “is there something wrong with the water?” he asked. She shook her head and lay back down. Roman stared at her for a moment before looking back at his computer, after a few minuteness he sighed and shut the laptop. “a friend of mine, invited us for a small get together, tonight”. “are we going?” Camila asked eagerly. She’d been stuck at h
CAMILA CHAPTER 39
They’d been home for only two weeks and Camila felt worse every passing day. She’d thrown up everything she’d eaten the day before. She felt sick to the stomach but didn’t feel the need to mention it to Roman as he was very busy with work and everything but now here she was kneeling in front of the toilet, throwing up everything she’d eaten for breakfast with Roman standing behind her dazed and confused. He wasn’t sure what was wrong exactly. They’d eaten practically the same thing but she was the one that had got sick. He wondered if she was allergic to something he wasn’t aware of. “how long has this been going on?” he asked, as he helped her wash her mouth and come out of the bathroom. Camila just raised two fingers and collapsed on the bed. “I’m calling the doctor” he announced pulling out his phone and dialing the doctor’s number. He spoke to the doctor quickly and shoved his phone back into his pocket. “the doctor will be here soon” he said, laying down beside her. Camila leane
CAMILA CHAPTER 38
Camila stood on the balcony staring out into the cloudless sky, they were going home and there wasn’t any part of her that wanted to leave and go back home. She wanted to live her life swimming with the dolphins and climbing mountains but Roman had work, he had to get back to. Her suggestion that they relocated didn’t really get any approval so there she was staring with a sour face hoping that Roman would change his mind. She heard his footsteps coming towards her and his perfume filled her nose as he leaned against the railing staring into the sky too. “have you changed your mind?” she asked, looking briefly at him. Roman smiled “as a matter of fact I have considered it, and my answer is no, the plane will be here in 30 minutes,”. Camila rolled her eyes and frowned deeply. “but I have made arrangement for the dolphins to come along with us” he added. A ghost of a smile appeared on her a face but then she remembered the mountains and frowned again. “are the mountains coming too?”
CAMILA CHAPTER 37
“how high up are we?” Camila asked as she looked out of the window, at the cloud s that surrounded them. They were currently in a plane getting ready to sky dive. Cory opened the huge directory that he held but the wind that rushed into the plane was so much, when he spread the directory to see, it flew from his hands and out of the plane. Roman burst into laughter at Cory’s embarrassed face. Camila didn’t find it funny though, she sent a glare in Cory’s direction. “get ready to jump” the co pilot said. Roman stood and took Camila’s hand, Cory also stood and held Roman’s hand. Roman looked at him and snatched his hand away from him. “don’t tell me you are scared?” roman asked looking at him. Cory rolled his eyes presenting a bold front for them. At this point Camila was trying to hold in her laughter. “you can jump now” the pilot called. None of them jumped, Cory was holding roman tightly. Roman shook him off and pushed him down. Cory let out a loud scream as he fell from the plane
CAMILA Chapter 36
"what are we doing today?" Camila asked as they sat af the table eating their breakfast. She was half asleep from the way her words were drawled and how slow she ate her food. She'd been eating one piece of bacon for the past few minutes without even noticing. Roman shrugged. "We'll see what Cory has for us" he replied gulping the rest of his coffee just as there was a loud knock on the door. Roman stood up to go get it while Camila placed her head on the table and started to snore. She was exhausted from everything. It was Cory at the door, with his face red and that awkward look of his. It was for this perculiar Character that Roman employed him in the first place. He was very unassuming. "Good morning sir, how was your night?" he asked, pushing his glasses up his face. Roman nodded and opened the door wider for him to come in. Cory looked at Camila briefly, his face turned a deep red and he looked away. Roman noticing this exchange, chuckled to himself at his assisstants embarrass
CAMILA CHAPTER 35
“oh shit, is that where we are staying?” Camila asked peeking out of the window at the huge resort building. It was covered in glass and had a beautiful reflection when the sun shone on it. She looked at Roman with a quirked eyebrow but her husband was not ready to say anything. “oh don’t be a wuss, I know this is the surprise already” . Roman chuckled to himself and looked away. The driver stopped in front of the building and they both got out. Roman took camila’s hand and led her to the entrance of the building. It was so beautiful and well lit that she froze stunned for a minute, the resort manager, a young woman in her late thirties dressed In a black suit over matching pants walked to them with a huge smile. “welcome with Mr and Mrs Romero, it’s a pleasure to have you here, these are your keys”. she handed Roman a gold card an gestured to the elevator. Roman thanked her and guided Camila into the elevator before closing the door. “what number is our suite?” Camila asked looking
