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
CAMILLAMy eyes welled up with tears as I experienced his touch's longing. Grasping my cheeks, he moved his lips and tongue inside, enjoying every second. He withdrew an inch, "That was Mom." He whispered softly. “Camilla, please never, ever feel insecure. You are perfect. The one and only woman wh
CAMILLAI felt a light heat flashing through my whole countenance. A smile crept on my lips upon realizing it was already morning. Sleeping and waking up without worries gives me a wholesome feeling.This is the first morning I woke up without a pain in my head after our marriage. It doesn't feel he
CAMILLAThe car stopped in front of the psychiatric hospital. As I glanced outside the window, I saw people walking in and out of the said hospital. I bet having mentally ill loved ones stuck in a room was the hardest part of all. But I feel different.I don't have loved ones inside the hospital bu
CAMILLAI groaned as I carefully sat on the couch with an almost nine-month-old watermelon baby bump. I'm having trouble doing anything on my own. But since I'm used to this alone when I'm bearing Miko, I'm not scared if I'm alone in the hospital. I'm giving birth anytime soon, so we decided to sta
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
