NIKOLAIWith furrowed brows, I glance at Aubrey and Miko to find them not awake by the visitor's words. We should not feel distressed again hearing Alyssa being alive. But I'm confused.I immediately pulled the detective outside the room where two more detectives were waiting for their colleague. M
CAMILLAFaint waves of laughter, clattering on the ceramic, and warm fingers wrapped around my cold hand made me come back to reality. I slowly opened my eyes, and the light coming from the window made me wince and groan. My arm was numb as if I'd been sleeping in a side position for a long time. I
CAMILLAI watch Ciara strides inside the room carrying a bunch of bouquets while looking for a vase to place on those gorgeous flowers. It's a mixed bunch of flowers that it's beautiful to stare, which makes me smile.Miko was doing his homework on the couch, and Ciara took care of everything in ter
I told Ciara to go home after lunch and be with Mom. I purposely handed Miko to her, so she won't worry about her problems while Miko is around.Miko is her healing.When they were gone, I gazed at the window as I caressed the ring on my finger, which Nikolai swiftly slid on my finger last night.Af
CAMILLAWith a huge smile plastered on my face, I turned around to see the people we love, staring at me and Nikolai. They looked so gorgeous wearing the gold and white theme dress code.My wedding with Nikolai just ended. One family and close friend were invited to the private wedding and didn't l
CAMILLAWhen Nikolai answered the call, he rushed to the bathroom, and I heard him audibly speaking. I can't hear it clearly, but it's probably about work… again.I pretended to sleep when he exited the bathroom. I felt him kiss my forehead before tugging me into the blanket and going back to sleep.
CAMILLAI lay down on the couch when I felt the pain behind my neck. I've been busy reading the documents that Aubrey gave to me to review for the upcoming event next week.However, I can't focus as I've been reading it multiple times, and the words won't sink in my head.This is so frustrating. We
CAMILLASince Nikolai was not answering his phone, I decided to visit him in his office. But I wonder if he's mad at me and just purposely not answering my call.I'm being paranoid again. When I arrived, I was greeted by Cole, Nikolai's new secretary. Now that Van was handling the NR Enterprise, he
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
