15th May 2021

MILA'S POV

I stood in front of the chapel in which MacCarter was about to be wed. It had been 5 long and hard years, but I was back to recover all that I lost or rather, what was stolen from me. 

I was no longer that weak 18 year old girl, fresh out of high school, without a Mom or a healthy father. I turned out to be strong and bold. I had to be because life had given me a lot more reasons to be.

**********

8th August 2016

And for the uptenth time that morning, I sighed in frustration. Of all things, why this? I had always been the obedient child and trophy daughter, never making decisions of my own and always abiding by the rules set for me, as the "heir" of the Monteiro Empire. 

If Dad was well, he wouldn't let Claudia treat me as badly as she does. She finally did most unimaginable. It was the last straw that broke the camel's back. How could she plan my marriage to that man? A total stranger.

"Camilla open this door now!!!" She was here already, I sighed and cursed lightly. Honestly, I didn't have any option concerning opening the door. I locked myself in my room to recollect my thoughts and look for a way out of this mess I found myself. It was impossible to do that now. I clumsily came down my bed and walked to the door.

"Camilla Eloise Monteiro" whenever she called my full name, she was dead serious.

"Yes Mom" I replied, slowly feeling fear increase in my mind. She snorted, and I knew it was a reaction to the title I referred to her as. 'Mom'.

"I'm going to be as brief and precise as can be. You are going to marry MacCarter and that is final. You would be having lunch with him tom...." I was frustrated right now, and what she was busy saying wasn't helping my nerves at all.

"Mom I don't need this right now..." She interjected this time.

"Shut up that vile mouth of yours and let me finish" She ordered, her voice sounding firm. "Now you will marry MacCarter and that's end of discussion"

"I won't marry him. I don't deserve this kind of treatment!!"

"Of course you don't deserve it! You ungrateful little wench. I ask just one thing from you nicely, and you do what? You fumble as expected" Now I saw the real Claudia slowly emerging. She was never this civil when talking to me, it was either a slap on the face, or rain of insults upon me and my late mom.

"Mom I just didn't think it was fair to..." And that was it! This time she caught me off with a resounding slap. I could feel hot blood rushing to the left side of my face, and then the hot tears that rolled down my cheek didn't make the pain I was feeling any better.

The lump in my throat gradually grew huge until I couldn't make out a word from my mouth. I felt pain in every part of my head. This wasn't going to be the first time she'd hit me, but this one hit differently because at this point I was drained and all I felt like was abused and shattered. Yes shattered!

If there was anything I dreamt of having a say about, that was the choice of a life partner. I lived most part of my life in fear and being scorned. I was hoping to live the remaining part of my life with someone who'd treat me and make me feel like I mattered. Someone who would love me, even if it was just a little.

"Firstly, don't address me in that title. Go to your dead mother's grave and find her. Secondly, it would interest you to know that I finally got that stubborn father of yours to sign over all his shares in his company to me. Yes!!" She smiled evilly.

"What did you do to my Dad?!!" He wouldn't have done this with his senses intact.

"Nothing much dear little one. I was left with no other choice" She said in a tone so calm, that would make you think she was innocent and filled with goodness. Contrary was the real case. "It took a whole lot of time trying to convince your Dad, but I was successful at the end." 

"Get out!!!" I screamed without the fear of being hit or worse beaten. I was filled with so much grief. She laughed and walked towards the door. When she got to the door, she said the last thing which rendered me helpless.

"I will leave sweetie, but just have in mind that you practically have nothing if you refuse to marry MacCarter. You are left with nothing to your name. MacCarter is your inheritance. We both know your father doesn't have much time to live any longer. The choice is yours my dear."

"You can't take away my birthright from me!! You took my whole life away already. You are so heartless!" I screamed as I broke down on the floor. I heard the door close, indicating she had left. 

********

I walked into the 'Chapel of Restoration' as was written boldly in the entrance. It explained my life's purpose at the moment. To recover and have all that belongs to me restored.

I could feel my long black gown sweep the floor as I walked in, holding my priceless jewel by my right. It was a good thing the wedding hadn't gotten to the 'I do' part. I didn't want to be cliche at all.

"For richer, for poorer" I heard the officiating priest say, to which MacCarter repeated after him.

"For richer, for poorer" Smiling at his bride. Wow, so the stories were true? Carter fell in love with Claudia's Niece, Melanie. What was she, a rebound? This is where I'll come in tho.

"Well, mine would definitely be 'for richer, for richer'. The world revolves around money" Everyone turned to identify the source of the voice, and there was me.

Carter looked at me as if trying to recognize me, and boom! his squinted eyes dilated, and I knew that recognition hit him hard.

"Camilla?" He asked, clearly sure, but probably expecting me to deny.

"Nice to see you're doing well Carter" His face lost all colour. It was enough confirmation he clearly dreaded. He's face slowly contorted in 

"How.... Where.....What are you doing here?" He queried. At that point the whole congregation lost coordination, and there was a big noise in the wedding hall. I looked at the 'to be bride' who was looking as scared as possible.

"Who is she?" She asked Carter who was looking at me until something or rather, Someone else caught his attention. The sweetest little kid I was holding by my right.

He seemed lost for a while, trying to match a few puzzles together. There was not a single difference between Father and Son. His son was an exact replica of him.

"Papa?" Ethan asked all of a sudden, which even caught me off guard. And the chaos in the hall increased.

"No!" Melanie Voiced out in disagreement. And then I saw the woman who made my life a living hell. Stepmom Claudia. She slowly made her way to the place we all stood. She looked at me for a while, but wasn't able to say a word. Her expression of shock and fear. Fear? The time to be scared hadn't even come yet.

"Ca..ca..Camilla" she stuttered in disbelief, to which I smiled. I was back and It was time for her retribution. She was going to be paid back in her own coin. Soon.

"You know her, Aunt?" Melanie queried as beads of sweat were clearly breaking off on her skin.

I turned to Carter who was still looking at Ethan, and Ethan kept his eyes fixed on Carter too. Then Ethan put his tiny hands into Carter's and called him again .

"Papa?"

Carter looked back at me immediately. His eyes requesting for an explanation.

"Our son is so brilliant, don't you agree? They wouldn't be any need for an official introduction then. The striking resemblance is more than enough explanation" I said and then I heard Melanie sniffing, and the next thing she did was to pick up her heavy gown and run out of the hall, with Claudia running after her and calling her name.

'Good' I thought. I'm back and they aren't even ready for me yet.

CHAPTER TWO
FIVE YEARS AGO Mila's POVFor two weeks I laid on my bed, crying. I still found it difficult to believe where fate tossed me to. All this while, I had endured, complied with, and done all Claudia's biddings, just so I would be seen as good enough to inherit and oversee all of Dad's businesses and investments. But now, I wasn't even sure of anything. I felt exhausted, weak and my eyes were so heavy from crying. Claudia my step mother came in earlier to let me know I was going to move in with Mr Carter today. This was crazy! She couldn't at the least wait for me to properly getting married to this man. She was in a hurry to get rid of me. I sluggishly got of my bed and entered the bathroom to do my business. Looking at my face in the mirror, I saw a lost, hopeless and lonely girl. Swollen eyes, dull face and a several maps of dry tears on my cheek. I quickly brushed my teeth, had my bath and went ahead to arrange my bags. I chose to see my plight in a different and positive light. At

CHAPTER THREE
CARTER'S POV As usual, I knew I was going home to some peace and tranquillity, but this time around, I was wrong. I got to my room, undressed and went under the shower. I was still bathing when I heard someone scream. At first I thought it just was my mind, so I continued bathing. It wasn't up to 30 seconds when I heard another scream, accompanied by loud sniffles. I jumped out of the bath tub immediately and made for my bathrobe which was hung on the door of the bathroom. I wore it and ran out of my room as the wailing became louder, which helped me locate the source. Camilla's Room.My heart thumped really fast. I hope she hadn't injured herself. On getting to her room, I opened it without knocking, and what I saw shocked me. I saw a Brunette lying face flat on the floor, crying so painfully that her whole body vibrated as she wailed. I didn't know why, but I felt so sorry for her. Whatever might have been the reason for such sorrow must have been so serious. She was still oblivi

CHAPTER FOUR
CARTER'S POV "So how did you enjoy your evening?" I asked Camila as we walked towards the elevator in the penthouse."Actually, it was cool. I quite enjoyed myself. It's not every time I go out without being scolded or controlled..." She gradually stopped talking, as if feeling like she had said a lot. Well that was a lot, if I was to pay attention to the underlying meaning of what she said. "How do you mean?" I further enquired. Some things she had said before and her reaction to other things that happened had really made me quite curious. There was definitely something I was missing out on, concerning her."Oh? Never mind" She replied looking uncomfortable and I knew better than to persist and cause her more discomfort. We got into the Elevator and I punched the 5th floor button, as we waited in an awkward silence. I stole a glance at her as she softly tapped her foot on the floor of the elevator and wrapped some strands of her hair on her index finger. A habit I felt she exhibite

CHAPTER FIVE
CARTER'S POV I shut down my laptop and quickly cleared the rest of the files on my table, preparing to leave for my house. I was really hoping that my night with Camilla goes smoothly. I planned taking her shopping to get her dress for her father's burial tomorrow and also take her to the spa for a wonderful massage and skin therapy. I honestly didn't know why I was being so nice to her, but what I knew for sure was that Camilla was a lonely and broken girl. She needed someone to care for her and I honestly didn't mind being that person. I took my keys out of my pocket as I fondled a bit with it, before successfully slipping it into the door lock and opening the door. The most wonderful aroma I had smelled in a while hit my nose. God! What the hell was Felicity cooking? My mouth was watering already."Hey!" Camilla said as she came into the sitting room from the dinning. She was probably waiting for Felicity to be done with the dish I guess. "Hellooo! How was your day?" I enquired

CHAPTER SIX
CAMILLA'S POV Lately Carter had been so nice to me and I was eternally grateful, but wasn't he supposed to spite me. I was just another business deal for him right? I noticed he normally acted like he didn't know shit about me, but he couldn't fool me. Yes I appreciated the fact that he was being all nice and caring about me, but he was still going to let out his real hatred soon. That was how Claudia buttered me up too, when she moved in with my father. Initially, she was always so sweet and nice and always understanding. That was until he married her, the whole story changed. It was as if she was waiting to get married to my Dad before she showed her true self. She had my poor father wrapped around her little finger. I always wondered if Dad ever really loved my mother, or she was just another business deal, just like I was to Carter, but my Childhood memories where my Dad was always all over my Mom never left my brain for one second. He loved her. Then why was he cheating? I h

CHAPTER SEVEN
CAMILLA'S POVI was still thinking about my confrontation with Carter. I still couldn't believe he was forced into this whole thing just like I was, and to think that I took the issue the worst way possible, where as, he was also in the same problem but managing his emotions just fine.I looked around me and carefully eyed all the documents on the bed. My eyes were already aching as I hadn't gotten much sleep last night due to the fact that I was going through all the documents. I was also surprised when I saw the last document in the file. Dad left I and Carter an early wedding present, he gifted us a Duplex in the heart of New York. I was still very shocked concerning all the properties I had to my name now. How? Just how? We were really broke, if I remember quite well and I didn't understand how it was possible for Dad to have had all this wealth. Well, if I was being honest, We lived very comfortably for people who were bankrupt. Yes, I know I said the poultry kept us going, but h

CHAPTER EIGHT
MILA'S POV. After Carter had successfully persuaded Felicity to go sleep, that we were going to retire afterwards, we went ahead to seat on the Sofa and began reminiscing the night's events."I'm sorry you had to break off your relationship because of me.""You shouldn't be" he replied looking indifferent. "I think I brought commotion into your life, as much as you did mine. So, no hard feelings" He gave a tight smile. "By the way, why were you being so inquisitive about us. I mean, I and my ex?" He queried. "To be sincere, I wanted to know if you both were still together." I answered honestly."What would you have done if you had found out we were still together?""Probably.....find a way out of this mess?" I said unsure. "I didn't have anyone in my life before the news of you, but I can imagine how it feels to let go of someone you still love, for something that has an alternative. I was scared that I would probably live the rest of my life regretting why I had to entrap an innocen

CHAPTER NINE
MILA'S POV I walked into the dinning room with a big yawn and some fe stretches. My night had been pleasant to say the least. As I took a seat next to Carter who was already munching on some sausage, I said my greetings, and drew the tin of coffee towards me."Morning Carter!""Good morning Mila. Slept well?""Sleep has never felt better, trust me." Chuckling, I drew the China kettle and poured some hot water into the cup containing coffee. "So I was thinking...." Carter started off, and I nodded in attentiveness as I stirred my coffee and proceeded to pour some milk. "Okay actually, Nathan invited us both for his exhibit later tonight, after which we go have dinner.""So what exactly where you thinking?""If you would oblige?" "I definitely would. It's Nathan! Plus I would really appreciate more time with him. To get to know him.""Perfect! We leave by 6. Until then, take care" He wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up and took his suit that was hung on the next chair. "But it'

CHAPTER TEN
CARTER'S POV I could hear the sound of the girls laughing, just behind the door. I had just returned to the penthouse at 6:15 PM, and was about entering the house. I unlocked the door, and saw them."Wow!..... I..... You guys are...." I was lost for words. Peggy and Mila were looking so dashing and beautiful, but Camilla especially, took my breath away. The girl had fine thighs too! The joggers and big tees she always wore around the house did well to conceal that fact. Peggy looked dashing as always, and her body never lied. It was then I had taken note of the dresses they both wore. The gowns were identical, except for a few differences. "Do we look okay?" Mila asked with a look of dread."How can you not know that you do girl?! Didn't your mirror sing your praises?" I joked, and she grinned widely. "You both look amazing. I could stand here looking at you both all day, but I have to quickly wash up, so we can be on our way.""Okay, we'll be here waiting." Peggy replied in so muc
