Chapter 1
Vincenzo stood under the warm water. He was starting to relax. Then his phone rang. He sighed and turned off the water. He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. He walked over to the counter and picked up his phone. "Giovanni," he answered. "Vincenzo, it's time we discussed your future," his grandfather said. Vincenzo's eyes narrowed. "What about my future?" "You need to find a wife, Vincenzo," his grandfather said. "Someone who can give you an heir. It's time for you to settle down." Vincenzo's jaw clenched. "I don't need a wife. I can handle the family business on my own." Giovanni sighed. "Vincenzo, you promised me you would come to my 71st birthday party with your future wife." Vincenzo's eyes flashed with annoyance. "I didn't promise you that. And even if I did, I'm not a child who can be forced into marriage." As he argued with his grandfather, a face flashed in his mind - Camilla, his secretary. He quickly pushed the thought aside, remembering she was married. Giovanni's voice turned cold. "Fine, Vincenzo. But know this: if you don't bring a wife to my birthday party, there will be consequences." Vincenzo's grip on the phone tightened. "I'm not afraid of your consequences." The call ended. ***** ONE WEEK AFTER. "And the deal is sealed"Jones said after Vincenzo signed on the last part. They both stood and shoke hands. "I hope for a better future with this deal"Vincenzo replied. "And better future we shall see" Jones replied and Vincenzo hummed a reply. Jones glanced over Vincenzo shoulder to see Camilla standing behind him, she looks bothered. "Ms. Morris" Jones called snapping her out of her thoughts, she faked a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "That's all of it, see you later"Vincenzo said without waiting for Jones reply. He walked out of the boardroom with Camilla walking behind him. "Secretary Morris"he called but got no reply. "Secretary Morris"still nothing. He turned to face her and lost Camilla bumped into him, she immediately was snapped out of her thoughts. "B..b.. Boss"she stuttered, "you look lost, what's bothering you?"he asked, his tone laced with a hint of worriedness. Camila raised an eyebrow, cause she wasn't familiar with this caring side of Vincenzo. He is usually strict and cold. "I..I.. I'm ok Boss"she replied. "You don't look fine"he injected and countiuned with his walk. "What's next on my schedule?"he questioned changing the topic. "Hmm"Camilla hummed, and switch on her iPad while walking behind him. "Dinner with lady Francesa, by 7pm outside of town at dolla hotel"she read. "That is two hours from now, you can rest for does two hours before we leave for dinner"he said and walk into his office, slamming the door at her face. Camilla stood in utterly shock, she couldn't utter a word. Her boss, Vincenzo leorando Tecillo, giving her a break. This is so unusual. She sighed and immediately remembered her discussion with her neighbor, she walk to the assistant department and the employees inside welcomed her with a warm smile. "Hmm, can I ask? Where is Sophia?"she asked. "She left sometime ago, she said it was urgent and couldn't ignore it"the head of the department, Jacob answered. "Oh, what time actually?" She questioned. "About two hours ago,"Jacob replied and she nod. "Any problem?"he asked. "No everything is fine, I just wanted to check on her"Camilla replied and walk out of the department and into her office. Her panick raising. If the photo her neighbor, Ms. Jenkins sent her was true she would kill Sophia herself. For the pass few weeks, she hasn't been consistent at home. She rarely see her husband, Ryder. The mostly communicate on phone since she as the bigger and we'll paying job and couldn't afford to lose it, she had to be at her boss's service twenty four seven. Her neighbor Ms. Jenkins, as been reporting to her about seeing Ryder with another woman. She just ignored Ms. Jenkins since she was a old lady and she never liked Ryder. But when Ms. Jenkins sent her a photo of the person Ryder was kissing. It was her coworker, Sophia. She didn't want to believe it so she went to the assistant department to confirm, and even when she as confirmed she still didn't want to believe it was true. Ryder and Sophia? It can't be possible, does are the two closet people to her. She remembered how Sophia always adviced her to leave Ryder, saying he wasn't a good match for her. Only for she to be sleeping with him behind her back? With shaky breath, and shaky hands she picked up her phone and called lady Lisa. "Ms. Jenkins, have you seen them leave the hous?"she asked. When she got the answer she needed, took her jacket and throw it on. Without informing her boss about her leaving, she ran into the elevator. **** The scene opened at Camilla arriving at her parking lot, she hurriedly came out of her car and exhaled. She paused as she stepped on her driveway, she just wanted to prove lady Lisa suspicion and the photo she sent her wrong that's why she came here. She believed her husband would never cheat on her. She walked to her front porch. she raised her arm to knock but remembering she knew the pass lock and it is her home, she imputed the pass lock, she opened the the door as silent as she could trying to not make a sound. Closing it the same way. The sight that she meet almost made her collapse, Ryder fingers where in Sophias Virginia as he fingered her. Kissing her neck while she moaned like the bitch she is. Camilla stood number for the first few minutes, with they still having no knowledge of her presence she called. "Ryder"her voice was trembling and audible, it made both Ryder and Sophia flinched as they stared at her in shock, embarrassment, and surprise. "C… ca… Camilla I can explain"Ryder stuttered removing his finger from Sophia Virginia and she hid behind him. "Explain what? You asshole"she barked, her eyes red as tears welled up threatening to fall. "It's not what you are thinking, this is all a misunderstanding"Ryder said as her moved away from Sophia, who covered her self with his suite jacket. She doesn't look remorseful at all. "Misunderstanding?"she asked staring at Ryder with tears falling down her cheeks. "I loved you, I did everything I could to make you happy. What did you ever asked from me that i didn't offer? Am I not good enough for you? Or was it because I had a better job?"she threw the questions. Sophia rolled her eyes in disgust, while Ryder expression changed from remorseful to a sadistic smirk. He let out a chuckle, the smirk did the next minute. "It took you so long to figure out"He said and a gasp escaped Camilla's lips as she tried to catch her breath, never had she imagine a day like this to come. "Me dating you from highschool, our marriage. It was all a bet."Ryder explained, Camilla's eyes grew wide in shock. "I never loved you Camilla, I only got addicted to your pussy and that's all. The reason I dated you in highschool was because of a bet, you mean absolutely nothing to me."he added. "You son of a bitch"Camilla cursed with tears pouring down her cheeks. "Save it. I am the only man that would bear to be with a woman like you, you think other men would want to be with a woman like you? A woman who put her work first before everything. I'm certain you are having an affair with your boss that's why you are always with him. so while you where having fun, I decided to have mine" Slap! Camilla cut him of with a slap, his head titled to the side and he chuckled while Sophia stared in shock. She rushed to Ryder and held his check, staring at his already red cheek she turned to Camilla. She looked furious. "How dare you? Are you out of you goddamn mind?"Sophia barked. Before she could raise her arm to slap Camilla she already received one that made her fell to the ground with an heavy thong twisting her ankle at the process, a scream left her lips. "You bitch"she whimpered. "How dare you touch her?"Ryder barked and knelt beside Sophia checking her ankle. "Does it hurt?"he questioned. "Yes, don't touch it"she whimpered when he played his hand on her ankle. "You bitch, you seen what you've cost"he said and stood up, he walked to Camilla with the aim of beating her but her next words made him stop. "Touch me and go to jail"she said dryly. "I fucking dare you asshole"she cursed, her tone dripping with venom, hate and disgust. A chuckle left her lips when she saw how powerless he has become. "I never slept with my boss, we never did nothing. He never kissed me or made any attempt to touch me, I kept myself for you I chased every man who came to me because of you unfaithful bastered"she screamed, the hurt leaving her tone and expression, and was replaced with anger and hatred. "I never wanted to take this job, only took it because of you unfaithful bastered, idiotic asshole. You made me work there, you told me I should put my work first because yours wasn't paying enough. I did everything for your ungrateful ass, now I know why my brother and father never like you. Ryder, they saw through from the start. They knew you could never worth me, but I. I was the idiot falling madly in love with an idiot. Ryder I made you, I gave you a fucking life when you had nothing"she said, her eyes red with tears and anger. "But you know what, I will get over you. No I'm already over you, we've been married for five years. I bet you know how I forget worthless things easily. And as for you, Sophia the husband snatcher" she turned to Sophia, who was staring at her with surprise and fear. She had never expected Camilla to speakup for hersel, she always thought she was the meek one. But here she was proving her wrong. Even Camilla herself was shocked by her own outburst, and Ryder was left out. He was shock from the moon back. "You are so stupid, you know why. I thought we were friends, but it seems like we are enemies. Remember how you always made me feel like a useless wife, made me feel like I was never worth him. I guess you are happy now, really happy, because you will be spending the rest of you life suffering with a muliplative idiot like him. Let me tell you a secret, Ryder as a problem you can never have a child together because he is imfetal" Camilla said and Ryder gasp, he knew what Camilla has Said wasn't true. She only said that to scare Sophia and it's working because she look like she as been drenched with cold water. "Have fun being together, I wish you well. You I'll hear from my lawyer Tomorrow, I want a Divorce"she said and with that she walk out of the house, even with Ryder and Sophia cursing her. As she reached the driveway, she let out the tears that she has been holding since. Even if she look like she doesn't care about Ryder or she hates him. It was all an act, she loved Ryder till death and he had to break her heart into pieces like this without feeling remorseful. She rested on her car and stared crying, nothing hurts more than hurt break. And the fact that his love for her wasn't real, it was all a bet. That part hurt her the most. She got into the driver's seat and started crying, god the way she hates seeing tears but Ryder had to make her share some. She rest her head on the sterwheel, and stayed like that crying and sobbing. Her cry's ranted the whole car and she stayed like that for over thirty minutes. The ringing off her phone, distracted her from crying. She brought it out of her bag, and answered it when she saw that is was her boss Vincenzo. She immediately answered the call, then whipe her tears as she placed the phone on her ear. "Boss"she tried sound ok. "Where are you? Meet me at the company in an hour,"he said and ended the call before the could even speak. She sighed as she removed the phone from her ear, she checked the time. Goodness she has never been late for anything work before but here she is. She is already three hours late, he gave her two hours but she spend three. The meeting must have come to an end already. She sighed again, she started the car and the engine roared to life. she drove unto the road. On her way to the company, she bought acholic drinks and drank while driving. Even when she knows that it's wrong, she was drunk driving. She got an email from Vincenzo that they had a trip to attend and she was gonna accompany him. She parked her car at the underground garage, and staggered to the elevator, which she took straight to the roof top. When she got there, she meet Vincenzo's body guard's standing outside the private jet. Probably waiting for her. They all stared at her with raised eyebrows, as she walked drunkly the the jet. She got in and they entered too, closing the door behind her. "Boss is waiting for you, in the private lounge."one of the body guard's said to her as she walked towards the private lounge, while he stared at her with confusion. "Gosh am in a deep shit"she mumbled to herself and opened the door. Vincenzo is seating on the bed shirtless, he was taking off his wrist watch like he was ready to take a bath. She gulped, as she stared at the sexy and attractive man Infront of her. She bite on bottom her lip until it was bleeding. "If I lose my…. Job then I lose it"she mumbled to herself and stared approaching him. Vincenzo finally noticing her presence, looked up. His piercing gaze landed on her and he frowned as he stared at the was she was walking. "Where the fuck…"before he could complete his statement, she pushed him to the the bed and layed sat on top of him. She lowered her upper body, to his and whispered to his ear. "Just once boss, once. Make me feel good and I will never ask you to, ever"she whispered into his ears and claimed his lips.Chapter 2The sun shone on the window, casting a warm glow on Camilla's sleeping face. Silence was the only sound that ranted the room.Camilla eyes flarted open. She closed them almost immediately, she rolled over to the other part of the kind size bed. A groan escaped her lips, her eyes lids parted slowly. Taking in the sight of the unfamiliar surrounding she was in.She lazily sat up. The tender ache and soreness in her core, reminding her of the past night incident.A gasp escaped her lip, and her hand found its way to her mouth covering it as the memories of what transpired between her and Vincenzo flooded her memories.The rate of her heart beat increased, and breathing became difficult. she grab the sheet's tightly, trying to hold the scream the threanted to burst out of her throat. "What have I done?"she slapped herself countless. She got down from the bed, avoiding the soreness in her core and rushed to the window.She expected to see cloud's, but to her surprise what she s
Chapter 3Camilla 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 h
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 13“ahhh”She staggered back, panting hard. Just then, a figure walked into the bathroom and it turned out to be Vincenzo. He had blood all over his white sleeve shirt, and blood was dripping from his left arm. He looked like he just had a blood bath. Camilla eyes widened and she almost fell flat on her back, but held herself. She picked up her towel, and wrapped it round her chest in a fast pace. She stared at Vincenzo like he was a zombie, or some creature or something . Her breath uneven as her chest raised and fall like she was about to have an heart attack.Vincenzo gaze meant with hers, and she felt like melting. Her body was trembling, like she was about to be eaten by a monster. Vincenzo gaze was void of all emotions, he looked like he just walked out of a battlefield and he was the only survivor. He knew she was gonna see him like this, sooner or later. The truth cannot be hidden for ever, surly she was gonna question him and he wouldn’t be able to keep the truth.
chapter 12Camilla eyes faltered open, she graoned softly as her moved and her body ached. A graon escape her lip, as she sat up on the bed taking in the sight of her unfamiliar surrounding. She cleaned her eyes, knowing they are already in Paris for their honeymoon. Vincenzo as that thing of not waking her up, whenever they are in a new country. What shocks her the most, is how he Carrie’s her into the plane without waking. She climb down from the bed, surprisingly a flip flop was placed by the side fore the bed probably for her. She slipped in on them. She gazed round the beautiful majestic room, looking for the bathroom. Her gaze landed on the glass door bathroom and she walked toward it, hoping to see Vincenzo in there. But when she entered she couldn’t find him. She surged and walked to the sink, maybe he is attending to something. Camilla turned on the tap, watching her arm with soap. She took one of the brushs she saw on top of the sink, the one unused. She put toothpas
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
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”
