NIKOLAIAfter the news broke out in public and Carson Willis was arrested in front of the Board of Directors, I was contemplating whether to return to the Russo Group. I'm not sure if I can face them anymore.I should have done an in-depth background check of that bastard before handing him what he
NIKOLAIMy heart leaped seeing Camilla's name on the screen. I was about to answer the call, but she had already ended it.I stared at my phone confusedly because it only rang twice. Did something happen?I removed my negative thoughts and bought the ring I chose with the right size for Camilla's ri
NIKOLAIThe door banged open as I strode, with heavy feet, inside the house of the Carlisle. I was so nervous after what Mom told me that Camilla had been missing since lunch.She was supposed to be back at lunch. After Camilla sent Ciara a text that she was near home, hours had passed, but no Camil
NIKOLAIMy heart melted as I saw Camilla on the screen. She got out of the cab and entered a store. Then, the police officer switches the screen. She was now seen walking inside the store. Is she doing groceries? She was happily walking inside the store with a shopping cart, but before going to th
NIKOLAII restlessly walk back and forth in front of Ciara, who's trying to explain what had just happened while she's with Miko in the garden.They were having a morning breakfast in the garden to avoid seeing the people inside the house. She doesn't want Miko to be bothered by who these people are
NIKOLAIWe were staring confusedly at Mrs. Hayes, Alyssa's mother, while she looked disheveled outside the door, together with the security officer from the front gate. It's been a while since I've seen her. I was wondering how Alyssa was doing.Since none of us dared to question her sudden appearan
CAMILLAI regained consciousness when I felt a pain in my neck and the pain in my wrists added to its severe torment. I tried to move my wrist, but I believe both of them were behind me and were tied into something.What's going on? I groaned in pain as I tried to move my head while trying to open
CAMILLAI wrapped my son tightly in my arms as I was praying that Alyssa wouldn't light up that Goddamn lighter and throw it to the door where gasoline was stinking like hell.“Alyssa… not like this…” I pleaded, trying to calm her down.“What? You don't want to go to hell?”“Alyssa, please! My son i
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
