SCOTTI am back to being sixteen again.That is the only way to explain the way I feel now.Although right now the only thing missing is the girl I met in the horse shed.Maybe because she is gone forever and I was always supposed to be with her sister.I could not say anything for a long time while Dad rambled on about the company and about how our alliance will be the perfect solution to both our bproblems.Maya just stood beside him and smiled down at me the whole time with her left hand resting on dad's wheelchair.So he didn't really invite me here for a talk.He already made a conclusion and just wanted to pass on the message.There was no better way to say that he didn't trust me to handle his company well, to say that he didn't trust me enough to make the right decisions.So is this the right decision? To tie me up with my nemesis?Thank you Dad, this is just the best decision ever.'...not just our partner but also your bride'Wait, what?I snapped my head up to look at both
CAMILLEEverything in my life is happening so fast and so bad as well.I woke up days ago after my best friend attacked me in the same hospital my husband is.No one was beside my bed waiting for me to wake up, no flowers or notes.That is how bad things have gotten for me.I was lucky my baby had survived the stress and damages done to me as the nurse had told me when she noticed me feeling my belly.I do not know what I would have done if I had lost it, but one thing is for sure I will never forgive Helen if that happened.Even now, while sitting in the park and letting myself relax in the company of all these other people, I wonder if things will ever be the same between the both of us again.Now the only person I have is James and do not know for how long.If he survives this he might not want this child and what's worse? He might ask for a divorce.What then?I start life all over again but this time without my family, my husband or my best friend.How will I even do that?My who
CHAPTER 41SCOTTMy darling, My angel.Her body is just as perfect as the last time we were together.Her face.Beautiful and glorious behind those waves of hair that covered each feature as she looked down on me, her lower body crushing into mine in feral lust.I reached for her face and brushed some hair off her angelic face to cup her chin and admire her complete form.Her lips were red and swollen from my kisses, but I still wanted more.I wrap my palm behind her neck and pull her in for a kiss, not giving any caution to any pain my impatient tongue and teeth do to her mouth, tasting and consuming every corner of her mouth like a hungry beast.I miss this, I miss being so alive and complete in her presence.It felt like ages since we have been apart, and this time I will not let her go.NOT EVER AGAIN!I feel a low groan in the base of her throat, and I choke her slowly until all I hear is the sweet melody of her moans in my mouth, begging me to not stop, to take every bit of her
CAMILLEThe morning sickness is getting worse.And my body aches as badly as it hungers for a man's touch.Don't get me wrong, I love being pregnant so far but at this point where the only man I have promised myself to commit to is still bedridden, I wish for another way to have a baby.I had slept off last night again, pleasuring myself to the thought of – you know who – but it doesn't seem to be doing so much for my horny body.I had even gotten myself a toy – the very first time I am using one – but it does little in making me feel as good as when I think of all the better ways Scott would have made me cum with just the slightest touch.I thought I needed time to get over him, but now it seems like I will have to use my whole life to actually get over him and move on.He is never coming back and I have to get used to that.Especially since I sent him off in clear terms.No man will ignore his ego and come back to beg a woman who sent him off in such a humiliating way no matter his
CAMILLELife seemed to have been returning to normal before all this new mess.And what's worse? - it had to happen right before I resumed work.Now I am standing behind the host stand, and instead of focusing on welcoming guests and making reservations, I am worried about some gibberish my husband was spilling during the less than ten minutes period he recovered from his coma.When I had returned to the room with the nurse and found him unconscious again, I was terrified that this time he was really dead.He just laid there, so immobile and alarmingly pale that I wondered if it was because of the pregnancy reveal he was talking about.How did he even know? Is he seeing things now? Is that the package that comes with being away from the world for a very long time?Divination right?Oh, that's all crazy, it's not possible.But somehow he could tell?Is it that obvious? What if the shock of it was what terrified him and plunged him back into coma?And what was that talk about secrets al
SCOTTHappiness, they say, is free.But I have never experienced happiness as expensive as mine.Life has placed me in the worst situation so far and I can hardly enjoy the comfort of my home which is supposed to be my safe space.These days I have to find that comfort in clubs and bars, and sometimes I get to bring that momentary comfort home with me and pay them off in the morning.The only good thing that comes out of this new ritual is the disappointed look on dad's face and the irresistible annoyance it caused Maya whenever the women left in the morning.One way or another she will come to realize that this union for what it really is – a sham that will never end well for both of us.She will only remain a reminder of what would have been if her sister were still alive.As for dad. Well, since he can longer hide his disappointments of having an only son who also seems to be a disgrace to him, I guess he also has no choice but to put up with me.Fair play.At least if I am accept
SCOTTBeing young shouldn't come with all this baggage.I am just twenty two and the shit I have got to worry about is more than anyone in my age bracket has got to deal with.I have had more first hand experiences in life than I would have wanted – especially when it comes to women.Anyone who meets me for the first time will think about how lucky I am to be coming from wealth and fame, but the thing is that I will throw them all away for a quiet and private moment with myself.Privacy is so underrated, and I guess I will never understand I get why most people fight and die for fame.I can't remember the last time I even had that – privacy.I believe this is the longest time I have had to myself in the last four years with no calls or check-ins or meetings.Just me in my room, and the only thing that is also lacking serenity is my mind. It is rocking with every kind of awkward situation that returning to New York would bring.I never thought I would be going back there anytime soon.
CAMILLETwo days have passed since I visited the hospital.And I haven't received any calls yet – maybe because recently I left my cell phone off to avoid getting any of the calls now.Until I know the best way to approach this, I cannot bring myself to return to that hospital – I don't trust myself enough to be alone with him again.He has caused me more pain than anyone else in my life.I trusted him and would have done everything for him.Right now I have to focus on work and the two things I also have to work on.Yes! I also found out about the money and every document binding it.With every information I have, it would be so easy to get that money without anyone smelling foul.Well I haven't decided on what I will do about that yet but if it comes to that, I would not think twice.To hell with everyone else – maybe it is time for me to do some damage of my own too, and getting pregnant for another man is not a damage.It is hard to put a straight face today when all that is on my
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
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
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
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
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
