"Where have you two been?" Chef asks with questioning eyes, giving us the opportunity of having eyes on us.
"Non of your business" Elijah replies as we take a seat by the island.
"Is that so?" Emilio questions, also givng us weird looks.
Elijah rolled his eyes, not responding to his kid brother. Who proceeded to annoy me with his presence, I could have done so much better without his presence.
"You smell like Ellijah" Emilio says, moving away from me to look between me and Elijah.
Emilio gasps when we don't reply to his apparents accusations. I didn't have time for his nosey games right now, he can be sych a apain when he wants to be.
"You two have been missing for an hour, I searched everywhere for you" Emilio says poking my arm like a little boy, accusing his sister of something.
"We've been missing for more hours than that" Elijah replies in a curious way, "but you've never tried to lo

Camila's P.O.VClair wouldn't even give me anytime to breathe, he's been hugging for a whole of five minutes. I don't blame him, we haven't seen each other in over five months.I've tried to come and see him as much as I could but in these past months I couldn't. He lived alone here, the only person who lived with him was his butler, Gil, other than that, he's always alone."If you don't allow me to breathe, there won't be anymore hugs" I say while patting his back."Fine" he says, releasing me and going over to get his food.We go out to the back and sat down under the gazebo. Our favorite spot in the whole house, my grandfather's too, if he was here we'd all be sitting here, enjoying some food.Clair and I have so much in common, from the hair on our heads to our toes, it was like looking at a reflection of the other.His full name is actually Xavier Clair, he's known to be a very discreet or rather cold perso

Camila's P.O.V "Your phone" Clair says walking into the room and tossing the phone on the bed. I see Zoe's name on the screen whuch made me smile hard, more than I was already smiling. Clair saw my face and took a seat on the bed to hear the conversation. "Hello Zola" I say once I answered the call. "Camila, how could you!?" Zoe screeches, obviously she was crying. "How could I what?" I ask innocently, also sitting on the bed. I was packing my stuff to go and meet Elijah so we can go home, Clair was updating something on my phone, I have no idea what it was, I just know that he was updating something. He's had it all morning. "You know what I'm talking about, don't act dumb you little brat!" Zola says, obviously she was angry. "Tsk tsk tsk, you knew better than to go against me Zola, I'm sure you can make use of the new information you've received, and you're also fired, I hope my f

Camila's P.O.VThe shadowy figure paced outside my door helplessly for the twentieth time. I hadn't taken it into consideration to open my door because it was none of my business as to why he was out there and definitely was none of my concern.Emilio surely needed something but was afraid to approach me about it, I don't mind him snooping around, actually, it might help him to get his mind off of Zoe and clear on something else."Can I help you with something?" I call out to him, watching as the shadow stopped moving. "You have been outside my door pondering for over ten minutes" I recall."And you haven't cared enough to come and ask what I needed" he states in a defeated tone."If you truly needed something, you would have knocked and I would have considered letting you in" I answer closing my laptop and waiting for him to tell me what he needs.I overheard Emilio and his brother talking about the poss

Camila's P.O.V"Why do we need to bring ice cream to a stranger in the middle of the night?" Emilio asks with a shaky voice."Are you seriously scared right now?" I ask giving him a look of disbelief as we got off the elevator.We got onto the floor of the apartment and walked down the shady halls to find Clair's room. I intended on getting him into a suite but he preferred to stay in a lower class apartment building, a building with a hundred residents and a few animals, an almost non-working elevator and there's an old man by the elevator doors downstairs who appears to be the gatekeeper of the building.He said Emilio and I looked like brother and sister but Emilio looked like a wuss and I was the one with the balls, it was funny the way he said."I've never been in an environment like this Cam, of course I'm scared!" Emilio replies snaking his arm with mine, clutching onto me."Don't worry, unlike your kind, these people

Camila's P.O.V"Where were you two?" Chef asks me and Emilio once we took our seats at the island.He stretched my evening meal toward me and I gladly take it, flashing him a grateful smile before digging in, completely ignoring his question."We were just out having a brother and sister moment" Emilio replies whilst taking piece of my sandwich from the plate."Want some?" I ask motioning to the bowl of cereal, he nods immediately and takes the bowl from me.Chef watched us with a horrifying look on his face, he even stepped back a little and kept staring at us.Emilio and I literally just got back from our little escapade, we didn't come home at all because we both agreed that the house was boring and we needed a little bit of adventure. We have a lot more in common than we thought we did, I actually like the idiot for his now witty comments and his charm.Getting to know someone really make

Camila's P.O.VMy father stared at me from across the room, trying to comprehend the reason behind my whole mood tonight. Again, they were having more people over and I this time I was stuck with them, there was no way out of it, especially because I was Elijah's wife, I had to be here to support him.After my talk with Elijah, I went to my room and took a nap, a well needed one. Next thing I know, Quinn's barging into my room and telling me to get ready for dinner with some rich pansy and his family, it was not what I needed but I had to be there.They wanted to meet Elijah and I and discuss business with him, we've done the meet and greet of about twenty people already, but I couldn't leave because I'm his wife and I needed to be here.I haven't spoken to him and he doesn't try to to break my silence either, just glances at me from time to time, which continues to piss me off even more.Turns out, I was more hurt than I rea

Camila's P.O.VThe first thing I normally woke up to was my ceiling, my pillows or my closet. But today, I woke up to a shirtless Italian looking man asleep next to me, peacefully I might add.And what did I do?.I smacked him on his forehead."Oh my, Cam, why did you do that!?" Elijah asks rubbing his forehead and sitting up."Because you looked a little too peaceful there, my apologies" I answer innocently."Why must you choose violence to resolve your issues?" he asks getting up off the bed and walking to the bathroom. "I was having the best dream" he mumbles closing the door.

Camila's P.O.V"What the hell happened to your face!?" Josh exclaims once we sat down inside his car.I explained what happened the other night and he was not happy about it. No one would be, but there's nothing anyone can really do about the situation."I don't understand it, you're married" Josh points out."Oh, I am?" I gasped, "I hadn't noticed" I say sarcastically.Because obviously I'm married, but I'm not in control of my life."Haha" Josh says with an eye roll and starting the car.I had to ditch my car to go with him, said he'd take me back to it once we'r

Present Day>>>> Elijah's P.O.V Emilio walked into my office with a bottle of champagne in his right hand and a donut in the left hand. He looked great except the scowl on his face and his ruffled hair, he wore casual black jeans and a light blue t-shirt, he's been walking around with a bottle of champagne for the last week. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Emilio asks taking a seat in one of the empty chairs at my desk. "You know why I'm looking at you like this Emilio" I answer, "you've been wallowing in your feelings for a week now, I'm waiting on you to tell me what's going on". He takes in a deep breath, puts the bottle to his head and just drinks. I watch him, there's nothing I can do to stop him from feeling however he's feeling, mainly because I have no idea what the problem even is. "I'm fighting the urge to tell you, so I'm drinking it away" he says with his eyes closed and n

The night before Camila's accident Elijah's P.O.V "For some reason I believe you two are up to something" Dad says striding over to my bed. I don't look up at him for a second, I've tried staying out of his way countless times, I don't feel the need anymore to please him. "If we were up to something, do you think I'd be here and not with my wife?" I ask. "Your wife!?" he shouts making me look up at him, "since when has she been your wife, this is all a game Elijah, I've told you many times not to mix business with pleasure" he snares. "She's been my wife since that day we had a big meaningless wedding, she's been my wife since we signed our lives over to each other, she's been my wife for months, so mixing business with pleasure was never an issue for me, her needs are my top priority now, it was your own fault for putting me in this mess" I replied getting up to face him. After he invited Broo

Joshua BassettI stared at the coffee brown casket as it sat above the six feet hole, my best friend's body supposedly laying inside, the cruelty this world brings was out of many questions I had.My emotionless being stared at the box, unaware what to feel in this exact moment, just thinking about losing Camila made me numb, she was one of the best things I had in my life, I never dreamed of standing by her casket, knowing there was nothing I could have done to stop her from driving into that plan.Camila knew about Nick's plan for months, she knew he would try to kill her after he got what he really wanted. He knew Camila and Elijah would eventually conspire against their families, it was no secret how the two felt about each other.Even if they had no feelings toward each other, Camila would have found a way to get Elijah on her side, she always wanted to see the best in everyone and would tried her best to help them.She

Xavier Clair "They already tried emptying her accounts" I tell my father over the chat. He scratched his grey bearded face and let out a sigh, he was stressed enough after Camila's accident and now to find out they tried to empty her bank accounts twice, there was no way they could do that no matter what or who they get help from. That was the best thing about being a Clair, is that nothing you have can be accessed easily, no matter what resources the person uses to take you down. "Everything is secure" he replies kind of relieved, "are you going to the funeral?" he asks with a smile. "Are you?" I ask tilting my head, he gave me a look before we both burst out l

Emilio's P.O.VMy mother looked between Zoe and I, reflecting my same feelings, I didn't want to be here as much as she did but we had work to do.Camila left us a lot to uncover and to unpack, it needed more than two people to do the job and my Mom just happened to be the extra hand I needed."What was she trying to gain from this?" Mom asks in a hushed tone."Camila has her ways Mom, I couldn't tell you" I answer, "but there's no way she actually wanted us to get back together" I say glancing at Zoe.I don't think Zoe really understands that it was all a set up, she hurt Camila, so Camila hurt her. Everyone was just stabbing each other in their backs, going against each other day by day. I've been working with Camila for a while now, over three years, we had to pretend we weren't acquainted.She was a great person and she knew how to get her way, she knew Nick had his plans and what they all planned to do with her. She was

Quinn's P.O.V"At least she won't be a bother anymore" Mom says over the phone.She just informed me about Camila's accident, it was no shock to me, Dad said he was going to get rid of her because she was a major setback in his future plans.It made me sick just how easily they would kill off their own blood just for money, I've been dealt with many cards and I kept my cool with ever single one, even when it was tearing me apart, I tried my best to at least believe it will be over soon."You of all people would be happy" I muttered with an eyeroll, "I didn't expect anything less or more" I tell her honestly.She has never been a mother figure to neither me nor Camila, for all the games we had play for them we could have at least gotten a little love.Holding onto someone's innocence can make them lose their minds, I'm glad Camila escaped them. She was always the one who called them out on their bull shit and wa

Camila's P.O.V"You want us to get a divorce?" I ask my father in disbelief, even though I expected it."I'm not asking you to, I'm telling you to get a divorce, it won't be so hard Camila" he replies twirling his cigar in between his fingers.He really came all the way over here just to tell me to get a divorce. All because he's signed with Marcell Clair now and doesn't need the Camorra contract, poor guy just keeps selling himself short for more riches.The Camorra contract could have been the best thing ever, but he's so greedy, I don't blame him for wanting more for himself."And what if I don't want to?" I challenged.His eyes looked at me, inspecting my face before he squinted at me. His usual way of saying I dare you, but I've gotten used to it way too much these days."You don't want to do that" he replies with a sly chuckle."Why not?" I ask trying to reel as much as I can fro

Camila's P.O.V"You look different" Devon comments as his eyes watched me from across the table."Is that so?" I ask glancing up at him but refusing to meet his eyes.Devon and Elijah had business to take care of for Clair, but I had to dragged into it because I know more about what they're doing than they did. I didn't want to get involved because ever since I sat down outside with them, the tension has been thick.Neither of them spoke unless it was necessary and it was killing me."Yes, there's definitely something different about you" Devon acknowledged sitting up to look at me better."When you find what it is please inform me" I chuckled looking up with a smile."You're smiling, there's definitely something different" he says putting his papers down and giving me his full attention."Maybe I'm happier" I shrugged glancing at Elijah, who was trying so hard not to intervene.Devon looked at Elijah bu

Camila's P.O.V"That's great news!" Clair beams over the video chat.I called him and told him about the pregnancy and he's apparently taking it well, he'd always been so protective of me, it was his job anyway."I used him" I remind and he let's out a laugh."Sweetheart, we've all used people in our time, trust me, he'll get over it" he chuckles.I look over at Elijah asleep on my bed, after we talked for three whole hours he decided he wanted to just sleep in here for the night. His mother was the one who convinced him to tell me everything that was going on.Judie knew and I knew, but she told him that if he really cared for me then he would tell me the truth and get it out of the way. I appreciate Elijah for coming to me straight away rather than wait until some appointed time where he asked me out on a date just to tell me about it."I hope so" I say looking at the screen again, capturing a smile fr
