Camila felt so terrible, “Who the hell drafted this shit?” She cursed beneath her breath.

She slumped dejectedly on the sofa, she had come back here just to set her wedding date with Darren and this was the prenuptial agreement she signed?

How the hell would she stick to a dumb marriage that has no benefits? She wasn't Darren's first bride, from the Intel she got, he had been divorced several times.

    “You must have been really desperate that you had to come find me in person.” Emery Hart had barely moved her eyes up to look at the woman standing in front of her. Camila Martin, the new sensational actress who had been making the headlines for quite some time now, was standing in front of her with a huge smile plastered on her face. “Miss Hart, it’s a pleasure to meet you here.” Emery acknowledged her with a nod, and Camila continued, "I have been sending my assistant to Miss Hart for quite some time now, but it seems like Miss Hart doesn't like the deal I am offering her."“It’s not like that, but...” Emery put down the glass she was holding onto and said, “I would suggest you not waste your time here and go to Mr. Harper if you want me to amend any of the clauses in your prenup contract.” Camila gritted her teeth but still tried to maintain calm composure. “Miss Hart, I am soon going to be Mrs. Harper, and I don’t think you would want to be on bad terms with me over a contract?

Why did you ask me to come here at this time?" She asked, trying not to sound as mad as she was.Darren raised his eyebrows while the corner of his lips moved slightly up. "Why did you fight with Camila?"With a roll of her eyes, Emery gritted out her words, "I didn't fight with anyone; she came to provoke me first and then later ran to you to cry. What’s my fault in all this?Darren gave an indifferent shrug, and his smug look never left his eyes.

    “I am really disappointed in you this time, Emery. You have been quite careless with your work for the past few days.

She knew nothing about the car crash, it hadn't been announced on the news. She held the pictures firmly examining them, the pictures were inscribed with dates. How come she knew nothing about this?Tears streamed down her face, this was the exact year and date she had gone searching for him. Emery felt he had left her without a trace after toiling with her feelings. Jonathan frowned, he took out a handkerchief and handled it over to her.Emery wiped off her tears and they flowed back out, forcing its way out of her eye socket. The pictures were heartbreaking.
