Estella’s POV I couldn't bring out my doubt but still I couldn't trust him being the one Adrian wanted working with. What if he's trying to instill fear into me or trying to trick me indirectly into giving off my wealth to Adrian. “But his name didn't–” “He was using a fake name to invest in your company and each time you asked to meet with the chief shareholders in your several companies, he will get someone to represent him.” “Gosh!” I sighed, looking back in shock. “Then why–” “Have you discovered why he disappeared those whole eight years after I was proclaimed dead at the hospital?” I could still remember him being the last person I saw before I passed out. Upon lying there in coma, though I was unconscious, I could sense Cameron's cologne and feel his presence. I was suffering from a broken heart syndrome over fear of separating from Adrian, since we had a quarrel that was so serious he lost interest in me and then I loved him so much. When my heart stopped as it was late
Estella’s POV I'll be a single mother all my life. I'm sorry for my kids that I can't provide them with a dad. “Estella?” “Estella?” I felt slow taps on my shoulder with my name being called, it sounded like a dream. I blinked my eyes realizing myself once again, I was swaying my body with my arms tightened across my chest as I drifted into thoughts without realizing. “Oh, I'm so sorry.” I gave off a sad smile. “I was carried away.” I managed to say, trying not to show my emotions. “Thinking? About what I just said?” I looked at him and nodded my head slowly, putting up with another smile. “It's fine. I totally understand.” Cameron assured, caressing my shoulder. “You will find a man who loves you so much.” “No! No! No!” I shook my head. “I'll keep on being a single mother. Relationships aren't for me, I don't think any man will love me and even if they do, they don't always last. It's best trying to avoid this heartbreak.” I poured out my mind while fighting hard to prevent t
Cameron's POV She was heading to our apartment. Towards reaching the door, she stopped and turned around. Her eyes darkened, she folded her lips so tight. “I'll make sure you don't get to be with my fiance!” She delivered her threat and then walked in, slamming the door against us. With her gone, I return my attention to Estella. “Estella, can you tell me what's going on?” My voice got turned into a cold, slow motion depicting how serious this was. She flinched her head, looking outside through the floor-to-ceiling glass window. She returned back to me with a deep breath. “I can't tell you anything.” She cried out suddenly, her voice was broken into cracks. “I'm not in the mood to explain anything to you and besides there's no need. We aren't getting married–” “Huh?” My heart dropped with wonder. I leaned my head towards her, giving her a hard stare. “Did you just hear it out yourself?” I muttered inside of my mind, not saying anything. “What does what I'm looking for have to do
Cameron's POV “She will be here with me till everything returns back to normal but as of today I introduced her to my fiancee, it happened they know each other but Chloe denied. Estella enquired about her boyfriend but she scolded me if I was believing her rival.” “I guess there are things she's hiding. So far I don't really know about her past life.” All of a sudden, I stopped talking and hit the table with my palm. I felt I was talking too much. “Luis?” “Yes sir.” “Get into investigation about Chloe. Chloe Patricks. I want every single detail of her life, right from birth. Run a security check on her and submit your findings within the week.” “Alright sir.” “What about me?” Charles asked. “I'm here for?” “I needed to inform you about this as well, Adrian and I have gotten into a challenge and I would be meeting with the FBI Director to report him.” “Huh? But you told him you're taking the challenge out from the police?” I nudged his shoulder as I rose up. “It's gonna be a
Cameron's POV We stepped on the whirling glass door and there was a sound system that spoke to us outside. “I'm seeing you with another man, who's that?” It was Victor's voice though it used auto-one. I cleared my throat so as to speak clearly. “He's my PA on security issues. He's Luis and a good guy.” I testified, making the door turn around and we got into the space allocated. Inside Victor's office, I gave a slight bow and moved straight ahead to pleasantries while he was still engrossed by this large, luxury interior decorated office. The furniture was totally out of this world, the fresh flowers of different colors inside their vases beautified the office more and gave it every much of a sweet scent. “Hello sir,” Luis finally greeted upon realizing himself. “I'm sorry to act this way, this is my first time here and it's so beautiful.” He shrugged his arms. “It's fine. Okay, okay. No problem.” Victor nodded his head. “You may have a seat.” “Thanks sir,” he uttered and sat b
Cameron's POV “Hmm,” she sighed and ended the call making her seem more suspicious. I dropped the phone wanting to close my eyes and think about this for a moment but my phone pings. It's Boone Victor. Seeing the name, I immediately picked it up. “Hello? Are you home?” “Yes,” I quickly typed back. My eyes furrowed with curiosity, my mind was rallying with a lot of thoughts. Why this question all of a sudden? “Get Chloe out of your estate quickly, bring out something urgent. Just get her out quickly. She's a spy and a serial killer. That's what we found, I've begun investigating with my men, she's the first person I decided to check on being the closest to you.” I sprang up from the bed, walking towards the door and then back. It was as though my life depended on this and my breaths were already counted. “Do that right away! Don't waste any time. She suspects you've come to meet us and will be doing what she's been with you for any moment from now.” “She even called to see–” I
Cameron's POV “Daddy!”“Daddy!” “Daddy!” “Daddy!” Tears sprinkled from my eyes, I smiled with profound joy. “Look what I've been waiting for years!” I said to myself. I'd been wishing to be a father for thirteen years now, after marrying Estella. We were married for five years and no kid came, eight years struck us apart. The joy I felt knew no gratitude, it was the greatest joy seeing your kids all grown up and looking so pretty. I carried my daughter up while my sons surrounded her like Princes guarding their Princess. I turned to look and Estella was over there, feeling so emotional. She couldn't control her tears. I gestured to her and she moved forward where I gave her a sideway hug. The nannies were watching and I couldn't do more than this, we were no longer married. I knew she really wanted a deep hug, I felt the same way too but the condition of our divorce bonded me and my actions as well even without me being fully aware. “It's afternoon and we haven't yet had lunch.
Cameron's POV “You're ignoring me in this situation where you're supposed to do something?” “I really have nothing to say to you for now till I'm back from my leave.” His tone sounded so indifferent that if I was Adrian myself, I would get pissed, coupled with the fact he gave him such an amount of money but there was no excuse for an evil person. I waited for them to keep on speaking but didn't hear a word again, I paused to think. “What could have happened?” I sensed something unusual, so I quickly withdrew and signaled three of my colleagues who were standing guard at the entrance of this building. It wasn't up to two minutes, we returned to find Adrian with the commissioner, blood oozing out from his nostrils and ears. He was trying to pack up some important documents. For a few seconds, we stood there like statues, shocked by what we just saw and couldn't do anything. “Fire him!” I commanded being the superior. Before Adrian who hadn't noticed us could turn up point his gun
