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
CAMILLAThe fashion event for the spring-summer collection ended beautifully and successfully. The second fashion event that I really attended was where my designs were part of the collections. I must say, our collections were acknowledged by the public more than I do.Also, it's not just me and Aub
CAMILLAThe night went by until I noticed that it was almost midnight. Maybe the reason why I'm sleepy now. I tried to close my eyes tightly and open them again to awaken my soul. Or this might be my cue to exit this event and go home.I felt someone tap my shoulder. “You okay?”It's Vince.I nodde
NIKOLAIStephanie poured another liquor into my glass as we were having business talks with the investors of the Russo Group with my parents at the VIP lounge. I frowned at her to stop what she was doing, but she only smiled.I don't have a choice but to drink it.My head was already having pain bec
CAMILLAThe sun rose beautifully, but my mood was still not good. The argument last night hit my conscience when I woke up. I should have told Nikolai everything, but seeing Stephanie’s presence behind him last night when he exited the hotel made my blood boil in rage.Yes, they went out of the hote
CAMILLAThe wedding of Ciara and Ethan came. And it's been days that Nikolai and I are giving each other physical silent treatment. Him, being busy between L.A. and New York company, while I remain dotted in my seat at the Galileo, debating with the shareholders about something crucial. It's tiring
CAMILLAMy jaw tightened with fury when I saw Stephanie's sweet smile darting at me. I'm not sure if that is a sarcastic smile or what. Because of the intensity of my annoyance, I took my bag and walked away from them before Nikolai could even take a seat.I want to get away from this crowd. But I s
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
