CAMILLAThe car's engine died when we arrived at Aubrey's new place. She moved out as soon as her parents knew where she stayed because her sister found out. We entered her house and I was surprised to see Miko and Matteo, both dressed up in black and white suits while doodling something on the tabl
NIKOLAIAfter settling everything with the help of my secretary, Van, I took a glance at my luggage, ready to leave with me.Yeah. I decided to be on my own. I want to leave this place and be with Camilla and my son.I know I made my family furious about my decision. I'm not selfish… even if they k
CAMILLATears streamed down my face as I couldn't help but just sobbed silently while listening to their argument.“You already knew that if you sold off your shares to someone who's not a Russo, our name would vanish into thin air as well as the company that we worked hard for!” Nikolai's father ex
NIKOLAII took my belongings with me as soon as I was done packing in my office. Van, who helped me, also resigned and wanted to help me with my start-up. Yeah, I'm planning to build my own company where no one can take it from me.It's a pity that the company passed down by my grandfather to my fa
NIKOLAII threw the bottle when it became empty again. It became empty for a short period of time. Why do they easily run out and disappear like bubbles, vanishing into thin air?I groan in frustration as I slam my body in the swivel chair. I'm at the library in my f*cking house, alone and abandone
NIKOLAIAs soon as I heard Matteo's words, I jerked off the bed and tried to find my phone in the library. If I had known that she was not in her family's hands, I would have found her by now.Damn you. Nikolai! I chose to sulk and drown myself with liquor rather than find a way to see her. Why d
CAMILLAI stared at myself in the mirror for hours now. Now that Miko calmed down and was now sleeping soundly on his bed, tears streamed out of my socket.Miko kept looking for his father since we arrived here in Boston, back to the studio type room we had before.Maybe tomorrow, I can find a comfo
CAMILLATears fell in my eyes as I felt the longingness through his touch. He took hold of my cheeks, savoring every moment he moved his lips and tongue in mine.But as soon as he noticed the damp thing streamed down my face, he stopped.I shut my eyes closed as my sobbing became painful to hear whi
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
