Chapter 3
Camilla sat on the bed pounding on the marriage proposal. Vincenzo left the room a while ago, with the aim of giving her space to think about the proposal. Vincenzo didn't tell her is purpose for the marriage, but hers is clear. She needed as powerful person to back her up, if she really wants to have her revenge on Ryder and Sophia. She stood up from the bed, then stared pacing round the room. Agreeing to this marriage as a lot of benefits for her, like what Vincenzo had told her she had to bear him an heir. So her childs future will be secured, but what about her family reaction. They never liked Ryder, that's one thing. But what will be their reaction, if she told them that she was married. They would freak out. But Whatever would be their reaction, she knew she had to face it. She needed this marriage, cause it would benefit her in many ways. Nevertheless, she walk back to the bed and pick up her phone. She dialed her father's number. At each ring, the beating rate of her heart increased by hundred percent. "Camilla"her father, Harrison called the second he answered the call. "Father,"she replied, she inhaled deeply and exhaled. "Father I" "Where are you Camilla? You're divorcing Ryder, really?" Her mother, Vivian's voice came from the phone. She rolled her eyes, knowing Ryder most have blown a big lie to them. "Vivian, give me back my phone."her father said from the background. "Hey sis, I'm happy with your decision. I told you that punk wasn't worth it."came her brothers Ethan voice from the background. "Shut up Ethan, Camilla can you explain to us why you are divorcing Ryder? I mean he's a good man he take care of you and all, so why are you leaving him for another man. I never raised you like that," "Mom give the phone to dad,"Camilla cuts in, trying as hard as she can not to raise her voice at her mom. Ryder was really a punk, he had the right to call her parents and placed the victim. What an idiot. "Talk to me"her father said, as she took the phone. She let out a sigh of relief. "Father. I caught Ryder cheating on me with my coworker, and it wasn't even the first time they where doing it."she said with shaky voice, tears gathered in her eyes ready to fall. "I dont believe you, how can Ryder a sweat man like him cheat on you?” Vivian questioned. Camilla folded her palm into a fist, her chest raising and falling as a result of she trying to control her anger. “Vivian that’s enough,” Harrison talked, his voice cutting through the moment. there was silence from Camilla’s end, this is the reason why she never tells her mom anything. she will always go against her. sometimes sat and think if her mother was her biological mother, because sometimes when she crave to speak with her mother. she’d always hold back because she knows her response was never supportive. “Camilla, Camilla darling are you there? Camilla can you here me?” “I’m married” she cuts in on Harrison. “what!” came from Harrison, Vivian and Ethan. even she her self was surprised by her sudden confession. “you’re married, to whom? Ryder? i thought you were finally getting rid of him”Ethan voice came from the phone, he sounded disappointed. “no not him. the man I’m getting married to is far more better than Ryder, a man who would never cheat on me with my colleague. look this is my life, and I’ve made my decision. mom I don’t care whatever you think, but I’m not going back to Ryder. bye”with that said, she ended the call and exhaled before Fallon on the bed. the amount of confidence, she has shown this pass day and today is shockiny her to the bone. she stared up at the ceiling, now that she has over comed her family nothing is going to stop her from having her revenge on both Ryder and Sophie, she is gonna make them pay for making her cry. she sat up on the bed, at that instant she knew nothing was gonna stop her from doing what she wanted. **** in a beautiful study room, decorated with flowers and a big three foot glass window, was two men seating in. Vincenzo sat on the couch opposite Giovanni, his grandfather. his leg resting on the other, he sat lazily on the couch sharing a never ending eye contact with Giovanni. “Nonno. time is luxury, you know i have responsibilities and you can’t just call me anytime you want just to stare at me” Vincenzo said lazily, counting each word. “you promised to come with the girl you would marry” “ And I did” Vincenzo answered, his deep voice cutting through his Nonnos. “Vincenzo, what do you take me for? a kid? you brought you secretary here to play the role of a girlfriend. how much did you pay her? what is even wrong with you? Vincenzo” Giovanni barked, breathing heavily. Vincenzo raise an eyebrow “keep spying on me Nonno, the neck spy you will send…… I won’t hesitate to snap his neck” Vincenzo said and took a roll of weed from his pocket, with a lighter. he lit it and took a drag before puffing it out. “I hate how relaxed you are. out of all my grandchildren, you and your sister are the ones giving me stress. you both are always difficult to control” Vincenzo chuckled “ that’s what make us different, unlike some who would kill to take the family business.”Vincenzo said. “I’m giving you from now till tomorrow, if you don’t get married. I’ll take the family business from you, and give it to your cousin Gabriel” Giovanni threatened and that only made Vincenzo chuckle. just then his phone beeped, he took it out and checked to see that it is a message from Camilla. she accepted the deal, a small smile craved at the side of his lip. little by little, he will win back her heart. the love that bastard Ryder stole from him, he will have it back. even if she doesn’t remember him, he will bring back the memories Ryder had erased and he will make him pay dearly. “ who are you thinking of? that’s making you smile that much?” Giovannis voice cuts in the moment and Vincenzo rolled his eyes, before standing on his feet and turned walking away. “ it seems like my fake bride needs me” he said and walked out of the study room. a smile appeared on Giovanni’s face. **** at a dark corner of a deserted street, was a man wearing black with a black hoodie over his head. his brought out his phone, and look side ways before dialing a number. the number rang for the first time but the person didn’t pick. “ pick up bitch”the hooded person muttered, he dialed the number again and the person picked almost immediately. “what took you so long to pick up bitch,” the person scolded. “don’t talk to me like that, am far older than you. and I warned you not to call. only I do the calling, or do you want my family to find out” a feminine voice spoke. “whatever, how did it go?”the hooded person asked. “ I couldn’t convince her not to proceed with the divorce, and there’s something you should know”the feminine voice said. “fuck. what?”the hooded person spated. “ she is getting married” “what!”chapter 4inside a modern like office, was two figures seated opposite each other. Vincenzo sat at the office chair while Camilla sat on the visitors chair. they look like their in the middle of a decision.“You do know, that once’s you sign this papers there’s no turning back”he said.“I understand, and I’ve made my decision”she replies as they locked gaze. “ok, here are the rules”Vincenzo said slide a paper towards her. she read it through nodding her head in agreement, but stopped when she read the last rule on the list.“it’s a contract marriage, not a real marriage.privacy is crucial”She explain.“marriage is marriage, doesn’t matter if it’s contract or not” he replies.“intimacy three times a week, i think twice a week is preparable”she said, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment.“why? you can’t keep up?”he questioned with raised eyebrow,she broke the eye contact and turned her face away from him. muttering “yes” that was barely audible but he heard her. he huffed a low c
chapter 5A grand party was held. the sound of guest laughing, and some charting filed the air. that atmosphere was lively, with the clicking of glass and happiness in the air. Camilla stood by the stairs, with Lucia standing behind her. she looked like a majestica. her eyes roaming round the hall searching for one person, Vincenzo. Sheclenched her fist together, and breathed hard in silence. being in the party reminds her of the times she and Ryder will attend a friends party, and he will make her follow behind him like a controlled puppy. It was now that she understood what she has been going through in the hand of that bastard. she clenched her teeth, irritated by the thought of her and Ryder. Lucia whispered in her ear. “Ms. Torricelli. if you are looking for Master Torricelli, I don’t think you will find him now. he has probably gone to attend to some private family business. so why don’t you enjoy the part?”Camilla turned to her with a raised eyebrow. “what private busines
chapter 6“What the fuck”Camilla exclaimed drawing everybody’s attention. Camilla looked at Vincenzo, wanting him to oppose his grandfather but he never did. his entire focus was on Giovanni. The old man, always has his way around things. A smirk appeared on Giovanni’s lip, he squirt his eyes and smiled at Camilla. “Grand daughter-in-law, is there a problem?”Giovanni asked, dearing her to oppose him. She stuttered. “I…I”she punched Vincenzo, and as their gaze meet she winked at him to say something. he rolled his eyes before responding. “We will do as you wish”Vincenzo answered shocking Camilla, Giovanni nod and Frances’s smirk while Gabriele just stared at them in confusion. Francesca knows what her brother and grand father is up to. even if Vincenzo didn’t planned this stunt with Giovanni, She knows he will always agree once it involves bringing him and Camilla together. her brother as been inlove with this girl, since like forever. She remembered the times he would always m
chapter 7“I’m the only one to be called Daddy”Vincenzo said as he stepped into the room, Camilla looks up at him with raised eyebrows. He was dressed in an all black Gucci suite, with white long sleeves. his stunning louboutin shoes clicking the floor as he walked towards her. “Where are you going?”She asked changing the topic. After their so called wedding last night, she made it her mission to stay bold. she is married to a rich and powerful man, and she wants to live that name for their two years of marriage. “Work”He simply answered. He place his knee on the bed, resting both of his and beside her as he caged her between him arms. She shifted back uncomfortably, before taking in slow breaths. “How was your night, what should I call you? Mummy”He said in a clam seductive voice. she gazed into his eyes and got lost staring at his beautiful brown eyes. As he leaned in, their nose bruising and their forehead touched. she closed her eyes immediately and held her break, waiting t
Chapter 8“Hey Camilla, where the fuck have you been?”A voice questioned from behind her. She stopped on her track and and rolled her eyes, before turning to see the person she already knew who it was. As expected, Ryder was standing behind her with a frown on his face. She stared at him with raised eyebrow. “Who let you in?”She asked insteadk. “Don’t change the question, Camilla where the fuck have you been?”He questioned with authority. Camilla hissed in disgust. Instead of feeling remorseful or maybe ashamed, he is here demanding answers from her like she saw his. “The last time i checked, we are divorced and you have no fucking right to question my whereabouts. Now leave before i call the security to come throw you out,”She demanded, her irritation raising. He chuckled “You think this is over, huh?”Ryder questioned and took a step back. Camilla moved closer to him, untill there where a feet apart. “This isn’t over, this is just the begin of your miserable life. I will make
chapter 9“Honeymoon? isn’t this supposed to be a contract marriage? why is there an honeymoon?”Camilla questioned, demanding answer. “I’m not in no place to answer does questions, ask Nonno instead”Vincenzo said, glancing shortly at her. “This is bullshit, it’s our marriage not his. we can say no to the honeymoon if we want. What would others think? they will think something’s off between us. A boss can’t be absent at the same time with his secretary”Shw retorted. He just sighed before taking his attention to her, focusing his gaze on her. “save you strength for tonight, mills. the decision is already made and that’s final. There will be someone here in our absence.”He explained and she flushed. Her cheeks turned bright red, not because of the nickname he had given her. but because of the tonight start he said, gosh she had almost forgotten about that. Vincenzo say her red cheeks and acted like he didn’t, chuckling inwardly. “How long are we staying”Camilla asked, pushing the a
Chapter 10“Are you insane? you are asking me to take off our wedding ring”He said, his voice sounding irritated. “I’m not insane, cenzo. If you don’t take that off, others will suspect something is going on between us. To make it worst, Ryder came to the company today and he say my ring. If he sees you wearing that ring, he will know that you are my husband”She explained, trying to convince him to take of his ring. He turned to her, with a frown on his face.“Are you seriously bringing up your ex?”He questioned, his voice sounded pissed like he was holding the last thin thread that kept his from vexing. “No, cenzo. It’s not what you think, it’s just that”“I’m not thinking about anything, aside from tonight. So instead of worry about your cheap, ex which I’ll deal with later. think of how you won’t be able to walk tomorrow.”He said and her eyes widened. Is he seriously saying that now? it’s like he’s forgetting that intimacy was just part of the contract. She sighed. “Fuck you”
Chapter 11“apologize for keeping me waiting, and undress.”He replied firmly. “I’m not apologizing. Itold you to give me time, that I wasn’t ready and”before she could complete her sentence, Vincenzo was already standing infront of her kissing her like a hunger lion. She almost choked, when he wouldn’t let go of her lips for almost to long. suffocating her, till she gagged in his mouth. That was when he let go of her lips, the both of the chest raising and falling, though to the rough breathless kissed they shared. Vincenzo placed his plam on Camilla’s chin, rubbing his tumb on her swallon lips. “You see Camilla, this is how hungry I’m of you. I could fuck you hard, and make you bleed like a virgin if you don’t let me now.”He said with on even breath, leaning closer as he clammed her lips. This time around, the kiss wasn’t rough like the first one. it was passionate, slow and steady. Vincenzo broughout his thong, using it to push her lips asking her for acces and she slowly let

Suddenly an oxygen mask was placed on Kayla’s nose, she felt hands tapping hers. She was in a stretcher, she could feel it. She was being rolled into an ambulance. She let out a sigh of relief, she was tired and could feel herself slipping into darkness. She tried to stay awake, tried to keep herself conscious, but darkness beat her to it. After much struggles to stay awake, she finally let darkness consume her. The last thing she heard before blacking out. Was Camilla and Holly screaming her name, and the nurse muttering under her breath. “Keep your fucking hands away from me, my friend was shot in her neck.”Camilla cried trying to push Vincent away. While he held her in place, preventing her from running into the ambulance. His arms where wrapped around her, while she struggled, kicked untill she couldn’t anymore. “Kayla”Ho

Vincenzo face remaind stontic, his gaze never leaving hers. “What brings you here?”He questioned. Then sat up straight, and rest his back lazily on his chair. “What do you mean by that? I came to spend time with my nephew of cause,”She said and smiled wildly. “You know after my brother and his wife died, and you have been taking good care of Gabriele. I just wanted to come and say thank you, let me spend few days here before going back to Italy.”Antonia explained. “I appreciate you, Antonia. But there isn’t any need for you to come, you are going back to Italy first thing tomorrow.”Vincenzo said with a straight face, and focused on his computer. “What!

Chapter 62“Goddamnit that bitch”Kayla slammed her fist on the dashboard again. “You didn’t fucking say anything”She questioned glaring at Ryder, who only bent his head in shame. “I’m sorry, I…I”She sobs. “You know what? we are going to tell Camilla.”Kayla said and Ryder eyes grew wide. “No you can’t.”Ryder argued. “I am not taking know for an answer.”She sighed and wiped her tears. She turn to Ryder and wipe his own tears. “Even if you were a cunt, always getting on my nerve. I can’t let that bitch walk away, not now not ever. She needs to spend her fucking life in jail. We have to work together Ryder, work with me. Let’s send this bitch.

Silence became louder than noise. Each of them not saying a word to each other. Kayla sighed and turned to face him. Meeting his gaze. “Are we gonna get down or what?”She questioned. Her voice sounded Confidcent, like she didn’t just tell him something shocking. Ryder starred at her, wondering if he should ask or not. He stared at her for a while, non ready yo break eye contact. “How did you find out?”Ryder asked after a sigh. Kayla rolled her eyes taking her gaze back to the window. “I saw you guys doing it one time after closing. I was heading out with Camilla when she fell off the stairs.

She had checked the gym class and the basketball cour where Kayla like to be but couldn’t find her. And the worst part was
Chaptet 60Vivian paced back and forth in the hotel room. Her phone on her hand. She had been talking to Ryder since the past week, they are cool now. They discussed to meet today at this hotel. Ryder couldn’t be the one to book the totel room because of his status now.Vivian had booked the hotel, but the problem was that. Ryder wasn’t picking his calls, she knew he said not to call him but she couldn’t help herself. She missed his cock inside of her coochie. She inhaled and exhaled, trying the calming technique fighting the urge to diale his number. “Fuck where are you Ryder?”She muttered to herself. Just then, she heard a knock and immediately rushed to the door. Just like she expected it was Ryder. “Oh Ryder”She throw him a smile, and pull him inside. Closing the door behind them. She didn’t let him say anything as she started kissing him, not giving him space. She push herself to him even when he tried to push her away. “Fuck Vivian, let me go”He said after he succeeded in p
Chapter 59“Vincenzo”Camilla called and ran into his arms. She wrap her arms round his body tightly and rest her head on his chest. “I miss you so fucking much”She confused not breaking the hug. Vincenzo brought his lips to her head and kiss her head. “You should be worried about the baby and your well-being, rather than worrying about me. Milla”Came Vincenzo’s calm, yet deep voice that send sizzles down her spine. Camilla raise her head from his chest and look up, their face just inches away. “I couldn’t stop thinking about you, How you were feeling. Don’t ever disappear like that again, i won’t forgive you next time”Camilla said, tears welled up in her eyes and she let them fall. “I never asked for your forgiveness.”Vincenzo joked. And Camilla hit his chest playfully, silence was what followed. Vincenzo brought his arm to her waist, pulling her closer by her waist, while Camilla moved her arms up and wrap it round his neck.

She better not too mess with Camilla, she later found out that it was Camilla’s body guard who shot Ryder’s leg. “Oh my goodness, Camilla. Is that you?”Kayla exclaimed and stood up to hug Camilla.
