The awkward atmosphere, which was only me, was affected, went on as the car entered the basement parking space.As soon as the car stops, I immediately rush outside without waiting for him. I already memorized the way to Matteo's company. He should have dropped me at the entrance of the Galileo comp
CAMILLAAs soon as Nikolai starts walking away, I move my anxious legs to follow him. I lowered my head to avoid meeting anyone's eyes inside the room. I glare at Nikolai's back while my heart is racing wildly. But he turned his gaze to me... did I see it right? He smirks.Cursed to this man! He's p
"I didn't see Camilla at her table and they said you are with her, so I might as well join you two in lunc-- is that my buddy?!" he said loudly and sat beside me before greeting Miko on the screen. I don't know why but Miko ignored Matteo and continued digging his food. He looks somewhat like Nikol
CAMILLAMy mouth dropped open at Nikolai's stunning Cheshire cat grin. He stared at me as if I was pale for the second time because he had trespassed the office again just to summon me to his office or whatever."W-What are you doing here... sir?" I questioned as I looked around the office and faile
I exhaled deeply and allowed him to proceed as he pleased. To make things easy for me, I allowed it to be this way. This is better as well because I can go home early and see my son. Just... Avoid being near his presence.And I did what I promised to myself, I waited for him to come out from the roo
CAMILLAThe next day, I woke up as early as possible because I really wanted to avoid Nikolai at all costs. After what happened last night in the storage room, I refused to face Nikolai again and skipped my dinner last night and breakfast this morning.I couldn't sleep last night because of him. I
My brows furrowed, feeling clueless about what they were talking about. "About what?""About the winter collection next month. Did you not know? Sir Matteo, Miss Tan, and Mrs. Russo will pick a new collection for the event and fewer will get approval. I failed last time but I will do it this coming
NIKOLAIMy day was ruined because I kept calling Camilla's number but she never even picked up the phone. After what happened last night, she's avoiding me and fled the house this morning without anyone's knowledge, except Miko.Yeah, I admit, it was my fault. I just cannot stop myself when I stare
CAMILLAI tied my hair as I made my way downstairs. Nikolai had already left for work while Miko and Mika were having a summer vacation. Miko just turned 25 last month, and my Mikaela will turn 18 next week. I'm thankful that she's not a spoiled brat and just wants to have a simple birthday with he
CAMILLAHis tongue invaded my mouth as it was struggling to find mine. I clung to his neck to find my balance while his hands reached my ass, squeezing them, which made me groan at the sensual pain I felt.I cling my right leg to his waist as I tiptoe to match his height. And devour his mouth again.
CAMILLAWhen I was sure that Mikaela was fully asleep in my arms, I slowly placed her down on the baby crib. I only sigh in relief that I'm finally free when I exit the room. I called Linda to watch over Mikaela inside our room while I was preparing dinner for us.Five months have passed, and everyt
CAMILLAMy whole body was aching. I couldn't move an inch, or maybe I just didn't have enough power to move my fingers or toes. I groaned as I opened my eyes, and the light coming from the window glistened in my eyes. Wait… what happened? I remember that I dashed out of the hospital. Am I back here
AUBREYI know what he's thinking. So I abruptly avoided his eyes. “Are you nuts? Of course not. It's been months since we– I'm going home.”I was about to walk away in embarrassment, but he pulled my hand, and we both walked to his car. “I'll take you home.”The whole ride was too damn awkward. I do
AUBREY I just got out of the Galileo when Van called me to meet in the cafe near the company to discuss something. As usual, I only attended important meetings before leaving work after lunch. Camilla is not in good condition right now. She's giving birth any moment now, and Nikolai hasn't found i
CAMILLAMy heart pounded frantically upon hearing the statement of these people. “What? No… no! Please! Find my husband!” I exclaimed as I tried to get off the bed carefully.“We have to conclude that he may have been eaten or drowned at the bottom of the sea, which was difficult to search that vas
“Are you really ba-back?”I sobbed when he nodded again, and I immediately wrapped my arms around him.His warmth, his breathing, and his touch were all so real. He's wearing a tuxedo like he usually wore at work with disheveled hair and tiring eyes. Did he experience something terrible wherever he
CAMILLADays have passed, and they still haven't gotten anything. I was frustrated to the point that I wanted to question the search and rescue team if they were doing their job properly or not. Cole already talked and pointed to Carson as the mastermind in putting a bomb on Nikolai's plane. Hearin
