last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-04-13 15:52:53

The weekend of blissful pleasure drew to an end. Everyone went about their duties on Monday morning. The driver had dropped the children off at school, and Grandpa Hemmingway decided to stay a little longer with his cousins.

"Sometimes I think Grandpa has way too much time on his hands," Bradford laughed as they drove to the office.

During the course of the morning, Camilla received a visit. "Mrs Hemingway," the secretary announced, "there is someone here to see you."

"Send them in," she responded, curious as to who it was.

The gentleman, wearing a uniform, entered the office, "Mrs Middleton?" he asked.

"It's Mrs Hemmingway now," she retorted.

Noticing that the man was wearing a uniform that was only worn by the bailiff of the court, "Sorry, mam, this is for you," he said, handing her a document. She put the document on her desk and signed the sheet.

After the bailiff had left, she sat back in her chair, looking at the document. Bradford stepped out of his office and noticed that she

    Since the court visit, the Hemmingways had received no further visits or calls.On Friday morning, Camilla and Bradford were still lying in bed, revelling in the ambience of the morning pleasures."Bradford, I thank you for standing by me through everything," Camilla said."Babe, you don't have to thank me. I am your husband. It is my duty to stand by you. It's not just a duty for me. It is my pleasure. I love you and your children. I would move a mountain if I could just for you," he leaned over and kissed her.As they were lying there, Bradford's phone rang. It was the investigator who had visited the offices the other day. He had some shocking news for Camilla and Bradford."Meet me at my place in thirty minutes," Bradford commanded. The investigator arrived promptly, and they went into the study.News was that Jessica had been receiving visits, on occasion, from Steven. Thanking the investigator, Bradford left the study and went upstairs to his wife, who was just finishing up in t

  • Love Prevails    Being Intimidated

    Saturday rolled around. Camilla had managed to get in contact with Steven, saying to him that the kids would like to see him.Steven knew that if he had had any hope of gaining custody of his children, he would have to make efforts to visit them.He had borrowed money and bought a few gifts for the children. It had been a while since he had seen or spoken to his own children. He hadn't even bothered to pay child support for them, not that Camilla really even bothered to ask him. The less she bothered about him, the simpler her life was.On Saturday around 11 a.m., Steven arrived.Sitting in the living room were the two officials from social welfare, Frank, Bradford, and Camilla.The children were up in their room playing games. Camilla went upstairs to call the children down, telling them that their father had arrived.Steven entered the house and was introduced to Frank and the two officials. He greeted them and asked, "Where are my children?""They are on their way down. They have

Everything turned inside her stomach, and she was vomiting relentlessly.Bradford was very concerned. He had not seen her this sick before. "I'm taking you to the doctor," he said."There's no need, babe, I know what is wrong," she smiled."What!" he said, shocked.She laughed uncontrollably. She took out a dummy and a bottle and placed it in his hands."What is..." he stopped, realizing what she was hinting at."We're having a baby?" he asked.She nodded in affirmation of his question. He was so excited that he picked her up and twirled her around in his arms."This is the best news I could have ever received. We need to get you a check-up at the hospital," he said.He put her down and drew he

    Bradford and Camilla called a big family meeting both on his side and on her side. They all congregated at the Hemming residence. "Mum?" Marshall asked, "What is this all about?"Marshall was now eleven years old and his sister was nine years old. "Hush, and you will know soon enough," Camila said to her son."Family and friends, your attention please," Bradford called, standing in his burgundy suit, white shirt, and black tie. Everyone stood dead quiet."Camilla and I have a big announcement or two to make tonight. Okay, maybe three," he continued, and everyone broke out in laughter.He pulled Camilla next to him and held her around the waist. "Firstly, as you all know, Camilla and I got married. However, we haven't done the official ceremony and reception. Therefore, in the next month we will be planning this."

The wedding plans were nicely underway and everything was just a matter of time.Once Grandpa arrived home, he was given strict instructions, and there was a specific diet he would have to follow.A week before the wedding, Camilla went to go try on a few wedding dresses. Something elegant yet simple. A white, satin, open shoulder, V-style, A-Line dress, with a silver low heel shoe.It didn't take her long to choose the style, but then a thought came to her, and she contacted her aunt, Joyce."Aunt Joyce," she started off, saying, "do you know who has my mom's wedding dress?"Joyce greeted her niece and said, "Yes, I have it here.""Good, when Bradford gets in from the office, we will come by. I would love to wear my mum's dress for my wedding," she explained.Bradford got home an hour later, and they headed off to get the dress.

    The night before the wedding, Camilla was a bundle of nerves."Babe," she spoke quietly to Bradford."Yes, my love!" he responded.She curled up close into his arms. He held her close."What's wrong?" he asked, sensing something wasn't right."I don't know," she responded, "something doesn't feel right."Turning to her full-faced, he responded, "Everything will be okay. You just have wedding jitters."She shook her head, "No, it's something else.""Whatever it is, babe, we'll get through it together," he reassured her.However, in Bradford's mind, things were feeling sideways. He didn't want to let his wife know he was feeling uneasy as well. Concern was seething through his body. Thoughts of what this woman might do was very disconcerting to him.Because they were already married, they didn't see the reason to sleep in separate rooms, but just to follow tradition, Camilla went to sleep in her old room, and Bradford stayed in his room.The children were going to leave with Uncle Chris

Looking at the caller's name, he decided to answer the call. "Hi Michelle what's up?" he asked.Michelle responded, "I just heard the news about Jessica, please keep Camilla and Bradford safe."James didn't know if he should tell her, so he rather kept quiet and assured her everything was under control.The police asked a number of questions and Bradford politely informed them of what his suspicions were. How they were connected to Jessica and how he suspected that Camilla's ex-husband was also involved, as he suspected that Steven and Jessica had had some contact while she was in prison. He provided them with all the information he had collected. The police took down all the information and started their own investigation.While Bradford was going out of his mind with worry, Camilla had been drugged, tied up, and dragged to an old abandon

  • Love Prevails    Excited Much

    Just two days were left before the wedding day. Michelle and Camilla had been very busy with the finer details. Camilla had taken James' mom and Aunt Joyce to the boutique to get their dresses for the wedding, and Michelle was at the beauty salon doing pre-bridal test runs of makeup before the day. That afternoon, Bradford and James treated all the women, Michelle's mom, James' mom, Aunt Joyce, Michelle, and Camilla, to a spa afternoon with massages. Enjoying the two hours, the ladies discussed a lot of the ideas for the reception. "Where's Tamara?" Michelle asked. "She's coming down with Frederick tomorrow morning," Aunt Ruby said, "Apparently she has something planned for you and Camilla." Camilla's eyebrows rose, "I hope she's going to behave." They all laughed. In the past, this may have been something of a warning, but Tamara had changed, and she was more placid than before. The morning before the wedding. Tamara and Frederick arrived at her parents' place around 7 that mo

    Tamara and Frederick started attending the University of Bolton. Both were studying as per the specifications from Bradford. It was nearing the wedding of Tamara's brother, James, and his fiancé, Michelle. James had given his sister permission to bring a plus one to the wedding. One Friday afternoon, after lectures had ended, Frederick had invited Tamara out for dinner and drinks. "This could be the perfect time to invite him to my brother's wedding with me!" she thought. "I'll swing by your place. Be ready by 6 p.m.," Frederick informed her. Smiling, she said, "Anything specific?" she asked. "Nothing major," he responded. By 6 that evening, Tamara was ready and nervous. They'd been out with friends in a crowd, but this was their first official date. "Wow, you look beautiful," Frederick said as she opened the front door. Tamara was wearing a long, black pencil skirt with a white, long-sleeved blouse and a black jacket. "Thank you," she smiled coyly. She was blushing at the att

    For the next three days, Bradford was forced to stay in hospital despite the fact that he wanted to get back home. Camilla remained at the hospital with him while they had frequent guests in and out. While lying on the bed, Bradford asked, "Can you please continue the audiobook. I want to hear what Desmond has in store for Theresa next."Camilla laughed, "Bradford, you really are something else I tell you. So do you want to listen for the sake of listening, or is it to conjure up something in that devious mind of yours for when you get home?"A devilish smile grew across his lips at the thought of what he would plan for his wife. Camilla saw that smile, and she knew what he was up to. Shaking her head, she responded, "I have no words for you, my husband." Camilla continued to play the book as they sat snuggled together on the hospital bed. Some of the scenes were excellent, and Bradford said, "Just imagine that this was us and Desmond was me," he smiled. His manhood getting a high-r

    There was a long wait till Bradford was wheeled out into the ICU. "Doctor, how is my husband?" Camilla asked, tears rolling down her cheeks. "We will have to see. We managed to remove the bullet," the doctor said. Judith's father arrived at the hospital. "Tell me, is Bradford okay?" He asked, sincerely concerned about the young man. "He's still unconscious, Mr Brown," James said. "Please keep me updated on his progress," the elder gentleman said and left the hospital. Camilla went into the room, "Babe, please wake up, I need you," she said, crying as she sat beside his bed. The family popped in briefly, one at a time, to see him. "Thank you all for coming," Camilla said, "you can all go home. I will keep everyone updated on the family chat group." Nodding, they said goodbye and left.Later that evening, James and Michelle took the children in to see him. "Dad Brad, you need to be okay. We all need you, but mom and Morgan need you more," Meghan said, holding his hand. Marshall w

    After finally settling on moving to Alderley Edge, Camilla and Bradford discussed attending the funeral for Jessica.

I'm proud of you being next to me," he uttered, putting an arm around her waist.In the past, when Camilla was married to Steven, he would definitely not have encouraged this. He would have left her behind and gone alone, but this was Bradford Hemmingway, the CEO and heir to the Hemmingway fortune. Plus, he was a different type of person altogether. He loved his wife.Meanwhile, the wedding for Michelle and James was coming quickly, and there were many preparations to be made.That Monday Camilla decided to go to the office late.

    The next morning, James awoke with the news playing on the television. Michelle had gotten up slightly earlier to prepare breakfast for them. The news report said, "Breaking News MHP Styal Prisoner found dead in her cell. Investigations are underway, but it looks like suicide." Michelle looked up and saw a picture of the woman who had passed away. James came down the stairs at this notable point, and Michelle gasped in shock. "James, isn't that, doesn't that look like, Jessica. Bradford's ex?" she stammered in disbelief. Looking at the picture on the television, he said, "it may be." James picked up the phone and called Bradford. "Hey man, listen, have you seen the news yet?" Still half asleep after the long night, Bradford said, "Brother, it's still away too early, man. What's up?" James responded, "Bradford, go turn on the tele man. There's a picture of a lady on the news from Styal. She looks like Jessica." Realizing what James was on about, he said, "James, it is Jessica. W

    The next day, Camilla and Bradford were in the office having coffee. Bradford said, "Babe, the family are coming around 10 they want to discuss something with us." Camilla looked at her husband and asked, "Did they say what for? And who is coming?" Bradford smiled, "it's Uncle Chris, James, and probably Michelle and I will gather Tamara as well. I suspect it has to do with Tamara and studying further, but I'm not sure what else," he said.Thinking about it, Camilla responded, "I think I do. The house Tamara owns is in Poynton." With that Judith knocked on the door, Mrs Hemmingway, Mr Buyson is on the phone," she announced. Camilla stood up and went to take the call. While Camilla was speaking to the client, Chris and Tamara walked into the offices. "Dad, I'm going to Camilla quick," she said. Chris nodded and greeted Judith. "Morning, Sir," Judith greeted him.

  • Love Prevails    Tricks

    While love antics are found at Hemmingway International and at Jones & Co., things between Tamara and Frederick are warming up. Bradford and Frank had spoken to Tamara's parents and Frederick's parents, respectively, regarding the idea that they had for the two of them. However, they both felt that for them to prosper within Hemingway International, they would need to both take courses at the University of Bolton. Fortunately, Frederick lived in Bolton, so it was not a problem for him. Frederick was twenty nine and single. He'd had a few women in his life, but none were serious. Not until Tamara came along. Something about her captivated him. He was drawn to her wild nature and zest for life. Frederick was average height for a male. He had sandy blonde hair with green eyes. Tamara was shorter than Frederick, not that this stopped her. On the other hand, Tamara lived in Knutsford, so for her, it would be at least a forty-minute drive each day to and from Bolton.
