SCOTT

I am losing it again.

I can see her.

Smiling at me in that perfect white gown she wore to her sister's wedding, stretching a hand towards me and inviting me to join her for a dance with the others.

But this time it is just us in the center of the gloriously decorated garden.

I can still smell the rich fragrance of the bougainvillea and the nauseating scents of lilac, roses and sunflowers.

Flowers were never my thing, a little waft always made me feel heady and nauseous. But I couldn't let her go alone, couldn't let another man fill in my spot as the groomsmen, so I had endured four hours of the discomfort till I couldn't.

She had laughed at me while I threw up in a vase, telling me I was “such as a baby”.

We were young and happy, very young.

It was long before I was laden with the family business after mom's demise and dad's breakdown.

Now I wish for that time again, to be lost in Lucille's arms again.

That wedding was the first time we made love.

Before then we had sneaked out

  • Forbidden Love With My Husband's Billionaire Cousin    HEARTBREAK

    CAMILLEI am back to the place I did not want to be in the first place.The same house where some hours ago I had shared with a man I thought cared about me in ways that no one else does.How foolish I was to believe any of that was real.I guess Helen understood how crazy the dating pool out there is and decided to stick with her abusive husband.Okay, now that's different.I would never settle for someone like Tyler.What makes Scott any different though?He was right with one thing, he never lied about who Scott really is to him, I mean I never asked or cared to know if there was any other relationship besides just “business partners”.But then who goes asking a stranger if they are related to anyone in their family?He knew who I was, I did not have to tell him, he knew all along and he kept that to himself.That is not even all, this same guy who for the past month has invaded my mind and taken possession of my body is four or five years younger than I am.Crazy thing is I still

  • Forbidden Love With My Husband's Billionaire Cousin    THIS IS A NEW ONE

    CAMILLEI watched for a longtime as the gushing water melted the white pills until it could pass through the tiny drainage holes.I can never do it.It is better to lose someone I know who betrayed me, than take the opportunity of meeting another soul away.One that is innocent.It wasn't this fetus fault that I made the wrong choices. He might have to face a world where his paternity will be judged, but I will do my best to protect him or her from most of it.I did not wait all these years to do something as stupid as toss my first chance of motherhood away because of the circumstances surrounding it.I will rather face every shame and ridicule than regret any rash decision I would have made.I tossed the bottle in the bin and rinsed my hand, pouring water on my face over and over again until I felt a little bit alive again.I have to stop worrying about Scott and every damned mistake I have made and be there for my husband as I should have been from the start.It will definitely be

  • Forbidden Love With My Husband's Billionaire Cousin    WHAT DO THEY KNOW?

    CAMILLEI am surprised she is still here.Obviously not alone as well.Two pairs of eyes stare at me as I walk into the hospital room, judging and questioning without having to say anything.I do not let that bother me because apparently, that is the least of my worries.I still have the documents in the save to worry about, which by the way I did not read.I already had so many pressing issues to deal with, and whatever is in that file scares me, be it good or bad.Maybe when all the current happenings slow down a bit then I can be strong enough to take any new surprises.I don't even think a woman with a child should be this stressed out.'What a surprise, look who we have here' I try to act like I got my shit together and be in control while I greet them, and not stretch my acknowledgement and surprise with a hug – I know better.Having known them for a very long time, I know a meek person always ends up being torn apart with their ever-lashing tongue, and I am not playing that par

    SCOTTI did not bargain for this.I had believed without a doubt that coming back and facing work will help me move on and make me too busy to worry about anything else.But staring at the pile of paperwork on my desk made my heart beat with even greater worry and left me with a migraine.The last thing I want to do is go through the financial report my secretary had dropped off on my desk.I already know what to expect.At the top of the files is the one from the Meyers.I did not have to open it to know what was in it. Jake already briefed me on every new development on my way back.Mr Meyer had canceled the contract and wants an immediate refund to his company.I should be worried shit about the slow backslide the company my father spent decades to build, an empire whose foundations have been so strong and rigid until now, but all that is in my mind is the very clear image of a woman and fresh memories I had with her.I have taken my loss and I am trying really hard to move on, but

    CAMILLE.Never been more irritated than I was earlier.After several minutes of back and forth with the Parker women, I just could not take it any longer and I went out to get some air.Turns out they do not know about Scott and I and were only surprised by his sudden appearance, wanted to know why exactly he was here and why he would leave like that after donating blood to James.Why do they have to be so annoying?Their presence is becoming so unbearable I wish I never called in the first place, and from the look of things, they don't seem to be leaving anytime soon.Funny talk about being here for James in his weak moment.If I had known that the simple side comments they made the first day James introduced me to them was going to be a lifetime of trial sessions, maybe I would have considered my choice of a husband.But what do they say about love being blind.Well I guess mine made me deaf as well.I want to go home and get away from them, take the time to rest and maybe start app

    CHAPTER 36CAMILLEMy luck came in on a Monday morning.The weather was extraordinarily cool, and I had earlier attributed it to the absence of Martha and her daughters.I guess I was wrong and they could not really stay longer than I had imagined in “such a terrible place filled with sick people and disinfectants” as Jenny had put it before they left three days ago.But now, sitting in the little park behind the hospital, I realize why everything looked so alive and vibrant today is because the universe has answered my prayers.I GOT A JOB!!!Okay, nothing fancy to be so loud about but then it was something to start with.I am to work as a receptionist in the Empire hotel, one of the biggest hotels in New York City which accommodates very important personalities.This is a very big step for me and I wish someone was around to share it with.I haven't spoken to Helen since the incident in her house because I haven't fully come around to facing her after what Tyler did.I have made up

    CHAPTER 37CAMILLE'What?'I stared at her confused and scared.What has gotten into her? How did she even get in?I know she never needed permission to come here but I never gave her the house keys, so how-My thoughts are distracted when I notice her take a step towards me, the glass still in her hand.What does she want to do?She is my sister, she can't hurt me will she?But I find myself cautiously taking a step back as well.'Don't act dumb Cam, like I don't know what you have been up to''I don't know what you are talking about Helen, can we talk about this in a more approachable manner? Tell me what is going on please?'Did Tyler tell her about the incident?If anything I should be the one who is mad at her for what he did.But will he really tell her that he tried to rape me before I tried defending myself? Will he tell her he hurt me with the same knife he had threatened me with?Something is not right here.'You have James, Camille. You have a wonderful husband who adores y

    SCOTTSeconds passed by, and to me it felt like hours, it felt like ages.'How can you even say something like that? She was the love of your life for how many-' 'And she went ahead and slept with my own little cousin just a week or two after I got hospitalized? Tell me Scott, how long did you both know each other, tell me how long you guys had been fooling me for''But you can't just take her life for that mistake, what if she is happy? What if-''I do not want to remind you again Scott, I still hold the gun' he wiggled the gun in front of me to proof his point and I raised my hands in surrender, and all the time I just tried to keep my anger at bay and not end up doing something we were all going to regret.But I had to do something either way. There were not more than seven steps between us at that moment, and if I took very slow steps towards him I was sure he was not going to notice.'I am sorry about your pa and your wife. Damn, I didn't know there was some level of hate moving

  • Forbidden Love With My Husband's Billionaire Cousin    I PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE.

    CAMILLEI didn't understand anything that was going on , but I was damn sure that whatever it was was taking a hard toll on Scott.I watched him recoil when the blindfold was taken out of his eyes, and no expression or reaction of his missed my notice.I just wished I could hold him, I could at least get close enough to him and feel what he was feeling then. But then I already had a lot to deal with to worry about what someone else felt.But still.I was trying to make sense of their discussion, of what Maya was trying to say to him, but it all seemed fucked up and each revelation only made him even more withdrawn and definitely furious.And then his father.Okay, well, technically not his father, but how could he do such a thing to a son he raised as his all these years.I was trying to figure out how all that had anything to do with me until she called the name “Lucille”. I knew I had heard that name, somewhere, probably from...Yes, from Scott.That asshole, that was the name he ke

    SCOTTI just sat there on the floor and watched her pace the room with the gun in one hand and a baseball bat in the other. She looked just like I always knew her to be – the real thug.'You know you all kept tossing me around and making me look like a messed up shit''That's because you are Maya, you are a crazy woman''No I am not Scott. You are the one who is crazy, you are the one who keeps thinking I am the evil one who killed my own sister and who still tried to come for your family. I am not crazy, but trust me you are such a foolish asshole,' she screamed and I couldn't help but laugh at her craziness.'I have known you well and I know you love to manipulate people into falling into your plans. Is that what you did to my dad too? Is that how you got him to get you pregnant and put it on me?''Well I am glad he is here and you will find out everything Scott''And you think I will be too foolish as to believe whatever you are going to say now when you have got us all under ropes

  • Forbidden Love With My Husband's Billionaire Cousin    THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED...

    CAMILLEI had never experienced a lot of things in my life, and one of them was having a gun being pointed at me.And not just from anyone, but from a woman who looked like a mess.‘Of course I knew he would be here with your sorry ass' I heard her say, above the thumping in my ears. I could not think of anything else but the kids just in the next room.What if they got tired and just decided to come out?Oh God, I just wish they didn't. I can be the reason they have to deal with another trauma.'Hey, hello, h-h-how are you doing?' I stammered as I took several steps backwards until I hit the kitchen sofa.'How am I doing? Bitch I should be asking you that. Because you don't seem to be holding your shit together''Maya, just let her go, she has nothing to do with this' I heard Scott struggle to say while trying to get up from the floor. There was blood on his face, and it wasn't just blood from wherever he had gotten it from before.He was hurt, and it scared the shit out of me.She

    CAMILLE'What the hell are you doing here? I thought we were done for good?' I stared at him with all the hate in my chest, one that melted as quickly as it tried to surface. There was no way I could ever be that mad at him, but I wish I could, at least this one time.I was really surprised to see him at my doorstep, especially since he was supposed to be enjoying his honeymoon with his new bride in London or wherever.He looked really bad with the blood on his hands and the bruises on his face and I was worried that the cobs might trace him down to my house and get me in the open as well.'Please can I come in at least?''The hell no, as a matter of fact I need you to leave' I said but I knew if he turned his back at that moment I would be on my knees begging him to come back.I didn't know how I got there but I knew for sure that was so so fucking in love with that guy. I couldn't stand him walking away yet again, and he didn't look like he was trying to either.'Please Camille, jus

  • Forbidden Love With My Husband's Billionaire Cousin    MY WIFE?

    SCOTTI sat back in the car for more than an hour, just watching her front lawn and wondering if I should go in – but then I had James to worry about.Everything looked as peaceful as it always used to be when James was in the hospital. I just wish he was never in the picture in the first place, then I would not have made a wrong choice in the woman I walked down the aisle with.I was just about to step out of the car when two men walked out of the house and they both left in a car. One of them was James and the other looked familiar, like I had seen him somewhere.Well, I didn't have enough time to think about that, I had to seize the opportunity and talk to Camille before James returned.I hurried over to the door and rang the doorbell, but no one opened up even after the third ring, and I was getting a little bit tensed up.What if she was out as well? What if she didn't even come back home with James after the wedding?How will you even think that James? She loves that man and tha

    SCOTT'It's a surprise to see you here today Mr Scott' I heard Mrs Judith say and I wanted to tell her the real reason I was in her office after canceling our appointments more than a hundred times, but my lips were sealed shut in shock – just as they had been since after walking in on my so-called-wife riding my dad like a wild beast.'So, to what do I owe this visit today?' she asked again while pouring me a glass of hot drink – just as I always liked it before a therapy session. It always got me loose and helped me say things the way I felt them, but not that day.She didn't look the least bit frustrated with my silence or nonchalance, doing really well at maintaining her professional protocol.She finally set a glass of brandy in front of me and sat on the manager's chair opposite me.'I found out about your wedding to Miss Thompson to the press Mr Scott, and although I didn't have the perfect opportunity to, I still wish you a happy married life' That did it. that unsealed my lip

    CAMILLEA month passed, and yet I still felt the sting from the stiffing blow James descended on me once we were behind doors at George's party.I didn't expect any less from him. From the moment he found out the identity of my child's baby I had only come to realize that the man I knew all my life was only a mask of who he truly was – a masked lion.I had returned to New York that same evening even against his own wish, and I surprised myself too with the courage I showcased. I wanted to apologize to Katherine for how everything had turned out, for not confiding in her, but who was I fooling?It would have been different if I had confided in her first, if I had trusted her enough to tell her the whole truth before publicly exposing her husband and rubbing the shame on her face in the presence of all the guests there who also respected her so much.But the next action she took was one I had never expected and the only reason why I deeply regretted my actions at that moment.It came as

  • Forbidden Love With My Husband's Billionaire Cousin    DAD?

    SCOTTA month had passed since our wedding, and Maya was crazy about consummating it.I keep wondering if she really thought that getting married to me meant that everything between us will be put in the past like it never happened.I always made it clear to her how much of a mistake she was making, and the last thing she would expect from me again is the sex.She had even gone ahead to tell dad about the situation. Didn't she even feel the least bit awkward saying something like that to him in the first place?When I didn't listen to dad either, her best resolve was to delay the signing of any contract or business information that she had to sign since she was still the head of her family's company until the paperwork was done and I became a sole partner and a joint one too, the company's assets.I had tried to convince her about how unnecessary all that was since I knew with certainty that she was only doing that to get my attention even more attracted to her, but she stood firm on
