“Maura, please…” Before I could finish the sentence, Michael ripped my t-shirt off my body, causing me to freeze in shock. Defeated, I squeezed my eyes, falling to my knees and begging for help.

“Come here, bitch!” Michael grabbed me by the hair and dragged me to my feet. Grinding my teeth, I snatched the wine bottle off the table and slammed it right into his head, causing him to bleed. A moment later, he reached out to touch his head and looked at his hand with horror. The next second, his eyes rolled back in his head before his body landed on the ground.

I heard people suck into breath behind me as I was still holding a broken wine bottle and blood was trickling from it. Michael lay flat on the floor. I stared at his body as he remained motionless. His blood spread slowly across the white, pristine floor.

“Is he dead?” the redhead asked, her voice filled with fear.

“What have you done?” Maura exclaimed as she stepped next to me. “Shit!” she softly kicked Michae

    PresentCamille My hair was straightened out with a blunt cut and long curtain bangs, and it had been dyed caramel. Since Rika liked my short, dark hair, I had never bothered to change its color. She said my black hair made my gray eyes stand out. It gave them a sharper look. “You look lovely in this haircut,” Charles, my hairstylist, said with a glowing smile. “Do you like it?” “It looks great,” I replied, turning around to see my hair in the mirror. “It changed my face a bit.” “Now, let me give you the final touch before you move on to your dress. Sia will be here with your dress anytime.” He made me sit on a styling chair before beginning to work on my face. It was so painful that I was in a lot of pain after being waxed. As I looked in the mirror, my beauty struck me for the very first time. My last visit to the salon was years ago. “Ouch!” I winced when Charles removed my facial hair with a strip. “What the heck is it?” “I will remove your unwanted hair from your face so th

    Past ScottThe rumor spread through the entire school that my nerd brother, Samuel Martinez, was sleeping with Camille Davidson. When I saw Samuel and Camille kissing in the parking lot, my doubt was cleared. Arms around arms, their lips sucking one another. This sight angered me without knowing why. I didn’t want my brother to get hurt or end up with something I couldn’t bear. I once dreamed of holding Camille in my arms. I always dreamt of being close to her. I liked to listen to her voice. I liked her eyes. When she was angry, I liked it. What I disliked about her was her cruelty. She did what she liked. Her actions were always hurtful. After being injured, Maura was slowly recovering and would resume classes soon. I would be lying if I told you I wasn’t missing her. I missed her, but more than that, I missed Camille Davidson. There was an enormous change in her. Recently, she began behaving unexpectedly, becoming silent and cold. Whenever I looked into her eyes, I found a differ

    PastScott“Coffee?” I offered it to Camille as she had been sitting in the waiting room for hours. Mrs. Davidson’s surgery was in progress, and it would take a couple of hours to be completed.“Thank you,” she whispered, grabbing a mug and bringing it to her lips. Her hands were shaking as she sipped the coffee. “I’m scared.”“Everything will be fine,” I told her as I sat next to her. “Scott...” she bit her lip before letting out a long sigh. “I appreciate you being here.” “Don’t thank me. I would have done the same if it were someone else.” “I apologize for everything I have done to you.” I scoffed. “I won’t forgive you unless you forgive me.” Her eyes were pulled away from the floor to look at me. It was obvious that she was exhausted and in pain. “I forgive you.” I leaped closer to her and touched her neck, which was smeared with my fingerprints. “If Samuel hadn’t separated me from you, I almost killed you.” “I almost killed you with the leather belt that day.” She cracked

    Present Camille “How do you make a living?” Conan asked with a radiant smile on his face. “Uh... um...” I clutched the glass in my hand, feeling uncomfortable as he glanced at my cleavage before looking back at me. “Well, I am an asshole, but...” he smiled before taking off his jacket and putting it on me. “But not that asshole that makes women feel uncomfortable with my gaze. Of course, I want to bed you at some point, but only with your consent.” I raised my eyes at him as he gave me another playful wink. “Thank you,” I said while sipping my wine and looking at Scott, whose eyes were immediately drawn to us. His eyes were so sharp, I shivered when they fixed on Conan as if he was about to tear him in half. The sight of him amused me for some reason; it seemed as if he was feeling something he shouldn’t be feeling. Maura stood next to him, demanding his attention while he was keeping a watchful eye on us. “I didn’t get my answer. What do you do?” Conan drew my attention to him.

    Past Camille I stood in the church watching people show fake sympathy for my family during the funeral of my mother. Some of them pulled me into a suffocating hug, patted me on the back, and whispered sweet words about my mother. “What a lovely heart she had,” said an old lady while wiping her tears. Nobody there could understand how I felt at that moment, not even my dad. The guilt was cutting me deep. I was torn between keeping alive or dying. My stomach was churning with remorse and pain. As memories of my mother flashed through my head, my hands clenched painfully. How could I get over this grief? When she needed me most, I should have been there for her.When she was taking her last breath, I should have been there for her. It was impossible for me to breathe, knowing my mother had left me forever. I felt numb all over. “Our condolences are with you, Mr. Davidson,” a brunette woman said to my father, placing her hand on his shoulder as she squeezed him. Dad didn’t pay att

    PresentScott“What’s your fucking problem?” Archie barged into my office when he got the news about his production house. Swiveling my chair to see his pissed-off face, I split my lips into a smirk. I couldn’t explain why, but my hands were urging me to kill him right then and there. The first reason is when he asked Camille Davidson to be his girlfriend, while the second is when Conan set his eyes on her. “Why the fuck did you stop the production of my three movies?” The guards rushed inside before grabbing Archie and dragging him away from my office. “I’m sorry, sir.” I nodded with a smirk and motioned to them to take him out of my office. “Scott, stop them!” He yelled while trying to get rid of them. “Scott, you have my sister. Stop drooling over Camille and vent your rage on me. You’ll regret doing this. I know what you’re mad about. I know how you’ve been feeling yesterday. I know why. Come on Scott, you’re no teen boy.” After he had finished speaking, I jumped to my feet and

    Past CamilleOver a month had passed since my mother died, but I still felt as if she was with me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't erase her memories. She taught me how to deal with life's challenges. She believed that life would be boring without difficulties. Maybe that's why her life was filled with hardships and problems. From the day I insulted Samuel among the students, Scott stopped talking to me. Despite my desire to tell him the truth and reveal the true face of his innocent brother, I could not do so. This is because he would never trust me. There was nothing I could do to defeat Samuel. I would have to gather information before confronting Scott. "Are you okay?" Rika asked as I covered my mouth with a hand when a wave of nausea swept over me. "I don't know, I've been feeling tired for weeks," I replied and looked at Mrs. Micah, who was teaching us algebra."I guess you need some rest," Rika said, her eyes flickering with concern. "I cannot since I want to score

    PresentCamille “Are you sure you don’t want to do it?” Conan asked a sixth time as he slammed the newspaper on the kitchen counter. “Well, you’re gorgeous, Cami. I’m the director of this movie, so you can play the lead role. You have a better chance of earning a good reputation and getting rid of Maura. I don’t like seeing you working under her.”“I think you should leave since Maura and her friends could show up anytime,” I said as I rushed to the microwave. He scoffed while leaning against the counter and crossing his arms over his chest. “So you think I’m afraid of that homewrecker?” “No, you’re not, but I’m afraid.” I snapped while taking the meat out of the microwave and putting it on the counter. Maura had ordered me to prepare dinner for her friends as she was planning to invite them for a celebration on the occasion of her another successful movie. “Will Scott also be attending the dinner party?” As soon as I heard his name after two weeks, my heart started thudding. I ha

    CamilleI closed my eyes when Colette entered my office. I plastered a smile though my insides were shaking. What if Scott recognizes his daughter? A shiver passed down my spine when I glanced at Scott. He was staring at me with a calm and composed expression as if he knew everything about me. Didn't he feel shocked to see Colette? Why was he so silent and controlled? Why didn't he show some emotion? That Scott looked even more dangerous to me. "Who is she?" The director asked with a smile. "She is my daughter," I replied. My voice was surprisingly stiff. "Jesus Christ, do you have a daughter?" The old man blurted out in shock. "Yeah…" I got up from my seat, sauntered to Colette, and kneeled to reach her small height, whispering, "What are you doing here, honey? Didn't your dad tell you mum was busy?" "I just want to meet him." She grinned while pointing to Scott and my chest tightened with terror. "You should not have been here, Col," I gritted my teeth out, which made her eyes

    he managed to get our producer to agree with him.” “Shit! That’s bad news, I'm not prepared yet.” “You should always be prepared for the worst, Cami,” Conan said firmly. “I know…” I slumped against the seat lazily. “But still…” “You have an hour to prepare yourself.” He glanced at his watch. “I’ll be right back in a few minutes.” “Conan, stay with me.” “I’ll be there in a few minutes, girl. I have got something to deal with first.” After an hour,"He's here, Cami," Conan whispered in my ear, making my heart throb uncomfortably. I felt my hands were clammy and my breathing was uneven due to nervousness. Four years had passed since I last saw him. There was a time when he was the man of my dreams, and there had been a time when he had become my nightmare. I hated him with every fiber of my being. Four years ago, he humiliated me in front of the entire world by throwing me out of his life. He treated me like dirt in his shoes. He wounded my heart and hurt my soul. I would never fo

    ScottI was looking at the ceiling and thinking about the little girl I met in the morning. She was the most divine creature I had ever met before. I wanted to see her again so I decided to visit that park again. I was regretting not following her. I should have been to her home and met her mother. I was curious about her mother but I didn’t know why. I had never thought I would be attached to a child. I had always wanted to have babies since the day I met Camille. I accidentally heard her say she liked toddlers. I was disappointed when I found out she was pregnant with my brother’s child, and when she decided to abort her unborn baby, I got angry with her. But when I had decided our future before my brother ended everything. The door of my private elevator slid open and footsteps echoed in the living room. I wondered who had come into my penthouse at that time. I got out of bed and snatched my t-shirt before pulling it over my head. Stepping out, I found Rika standing with an amused

    Scott“Scott!” “Scott!”“Scott!”I heard someone call my name loudly. I turned around and pressed a pillow against my ears, groaning. "Stay the hell away!” “Wake up, bastard!” I felt her violently shake my shoulder. “Did you have sex last night?” My eyes popped out in shock as she spoke out. My attention was drawn to Rika, who looked over me with an expression of annoyance. “You have sex here last night.”“Are you crazy?” I exclaimed, sat down, and scanned myself, but then I froze. The only thing I had on was my briefs. “What the fuck is that?” “Exactly, what the fuck is that, asshole? Your sex pictures have been viral across the country.”“What are you talking about?” I asked with my clenched teeth. “I was having a drink and then…” I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. “Then what...?” She crossed her arms over her chest and gazed at me like she believed I had sex last night. “You brought a chick here and fucked her the entire night.”“Shut up, Rika. And don’t talk abo

    Camille I watched him on the monitor. “Scott Martinez…” I whispered to myself, leaning against my chair and smirking. “You’re trapped, darling and you haven’t realized it yet.” My heart skipped a beat when Scott grasped Rika’s arm firmly and ripped her away from the waitress she had been sticking with. I hated to see her get hurt. She woke up from a coma four years ago and I found it from my sister Natalie. I had been longing to meet her for years. It took all my strength to stop myself from approaching her. I knew I wouldn't stop myself from pouring out all my feelings once I met her. I would end up telling her everything and put an end to my plans of revenge. I would never get my revenge if I got closer to Rika and my family. I zoomed in on the screen when I saw a girl clinging to Scott’s arm. She was unrecognizable to me. She didn’t look like Maura. I waited for her to pull herself back. Rika tried to tear her away from him but she didn’t budge from her place and stayed closer t

    Scott “How am I looking?” Rika chirped while appearing out of nowhere. I frowned at her metallic bodycon dress which fitted her hourglass figure like a second skin. “Awful, change it immediately,” I spoke sharply and turned around to see myself in a mirror and buttoned up my handcuffs. “How dare you?” Her nostril flared in fury. “Awful? How could you call me that, jakas.” I turned around to stare into her eyes. "We're not going to a nightclub, so wear something sensible. I don't usually judge women by their dressing sense or fashion style but this needs to be changed, Rika. You're playing the role of my secretary. If the media spots us together and with you, in this attire, they will certainly make a fuss about it. I am not craving attention at this moment. My wife already has done a good job making my name infamous across the world." "Okay, fine. I'm changing it," she hissed and stormed out of my room. She punched the elevator button, the door dinged open before she stepped insi

    Scott"Everything is ready, sir," Amos informed me. "Thanks, Amos." I smiled guiltily at him. "And sorry for the other day." "I don't mind your words, son," he replied with a fatherly smile. "I know what you have been through these last four years. At least you're feeling something after a long period." "But still you didn't deserve my harsh words, did you? I was being mean to you. You care about me so much more than I deserve, Amos. I like that I have someone who is taking care of me, but it also makes me feel vulnerable. It makes me feel weak and needy." "No, son, you are not weak. You are a tough nut to crack." He laughed and handed me the car keys. "Today is my wife's anniversary so I won't be able to come with you.""Come on, Amos, you don't have to. You can take as many days off as you need." "Thanks." He smiled one last time before leaving. I was getting ready for my business trip to the UK. I must visit Arthur Group's company before signing a contract. I did not believe

    ScottI walked out of my office. My employees greeted me with warm smiles as I walked down the hallway and headed toward the conference hall. I had my international studio where I spent most of my time. As soon as I entered the conference hall my team stood up in respect. "Good morning, sir," the manager said with a polite smile. "Please be seated all of you." I nodded and took my seat. "So let's get started." Mr. Arthur said who was my most trustable partner so far. "I have an offer for you, Mr. Martinez. A film-producing company from the UK wants to work with us. What thrilled me was that this company is part of the Arthur group, and they are offering you the role of their male lead in their next movie. Would you like to work with them?" "Do they know how much I charge for a movie?" I asked while leaning against the chair and looking into his eyes. "They do, I guess." Arthur hesitated for a moment before continuing. "I think we should not let this opportunity pass, sir. I have

    Camille“Col…” I screamed out in fear when she rushed toward the door. "Oh my God!" I slapped my hand against my chest, feeling my throbbing heartbeat under my palm. “How many times do I have to tell you not to rush, honey?" “Conan is here,” she mumbled, jumping to hold the door knob. “Please open the door, Mum.” As I approached her, I sighed and glared at her. My heart instantly melted when I saw my four year old’s smile. I never thought I would be blessed with such an adorable baby girl. I had endured a lot of hardship while she was in my womb. If Conan was not there for me I might have lost my second baby also. Our plane crashed while I was a few months pregnant. I had suffered from internal bleeding. It was Conan who saved my life by donating his blood. I still remembered the days when I was in bed, gazing at him with my blank expression. I thought I had lost my Colette and I would never see her again. However, Conan placed his warm hand on mine and gave me a smile and told me m
