Clara's POV My heart was beating so fast as I saw Donald fasten his eyes on me. I knew I had to prepare for the worst but yet I was very scared.I didn't know that one day I would be telling someone I love the most painful part of my life. I will try to tell Donald without adding emotions to it. The hatred I have for Camille was beyond imagination."You know Camille right?". I started from there." Are you talking about Camille of Dvelle's companies? " Donald asked.Camille is a public figure and to our family business, his family's business is the one seconding and that was the reason he hated our family. He always want to be at the topnotch."Yes," I replied."Okay?" "I was once in love with Camille." I start. "And honestly, I had thought it's one of the best moments in my life--until you came around, that is"I skipped knowing that I shouldn't have said that. "Just as I loved Camille, I could feel that he loved me as well" I continued. "We started of as friends so we had a lot
Clara's POVThe following day, I open my eyes slowly just to be blinded by the sun rays.Groaning, I climbed down from the bed to close the window blind. Returning back to the bed, I sit on top; admiring Donald's sleeping face until my phone rings, interrupting the moment. I moved out of the bedroom to answer it; it was Jessincth. "Yes, Jessincth?""I don't mean to disturb you ma'am but there is a Mr. Camille here to see you"I stilled. What was Camille doing at my office?. I know we were supposed to meet today but he didn't text me the time and place. "Thank you for informing me, I'll be there soon""Okay, ma'am"Camille, what on earth are you thinking? In haste, I sprint back into my room to see Donald wide awake. "Where were you?""I had a phone call"He taps the bed. "Well, if you're done, come back to bed"I let out a soft laugh, approaching him to place a light kiss on his lips. "As much as that offer sounds tempting, I have to get to work. The phone call earlier was because
Jason's povThe next day while I was at work, I instantly put a call through to Dexter. "Have you found Joe yet?""Not yet"Disappointed, my voice sounded more rough than expected. "You said you would have found him by morning!""Chill man, I'm not the one that helped him escape"I exhaled deeply. "You're right. I'm sorry. I'm busted really desperate to find him""And we will. Remember who I am, right?. I'm Dexter, the computer genius that owes you his life"I let out a soft laugh. "Saying you 'owe me your life' is a bit of a stretch, isn't it?""Well, it's true""Alright. Just let me know when you find any leads, okay?""Sure"Hanging up, I threw myself down into work to get Joe out of my head. I also suppressed the urge to call Violet and ask how she was doing. I didn't want her to feel pressured by my concerns. "Is everything alright, Sir" Alex asked. "Something seems to be bothering you""It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well last night so in quite uptight this morning""Do you
Violet's PovI had barely set my feet into the hospital when I heard Nurse Abby voice calling out to me. I didn't stop walking, rather I slowed my pace until she got to where I was. "Good morning." She greeted me and I nodded in response. "What's my schedule for today?" I asked, signing in for the day. "You got an almost free day today. After making your daily rounds in the children's ward, you have a patient by eleven and another by two pm." "Let's begin, shall we?" I asked. "Yeah." She replied and together we began to head for the children's ward. On getting to our destination, I was greeted with the smell of disinfectant mixed with the smell of children. For some, this combo made them sick, not in my case though. Maybe it was because of my love for children which led me to becoming a pediatrician. Anyway, I couldn't help but smile as I looked around the ward. "Raven left already." I noted. "Yeah. Her grandma insisted she got discharged when you left yesterday." She replied
Violet's POVThe more time I spent staring into space,the more disturbed I became. I know I need to do something but the issue was, I didn't know how to go about it. "Camille needs to be tamed. He is already wild." I said biting the corner of my lips. If Camille wasn't rich I would have thought he was doing this for money. But why was he so sure that Vince belongs to him? I didn't feel parental bond between Clara and Vince.I have asked Jason about Vince's mother but he won't tell me who she was. I had thought it was one of his exes and didn't ask him again. But to hear Camille say that Clara was the mother of Vince was really shocking.Clara had met Vince many times but she only treated him like an Aunt not a mother. I didn't know what to think right now. I didn't expect this and my body was trembling at the news. I was Jason's wife and I didn't know this thing. Why would Jason hide such news from me? I was angry and confused at the same time. The mother of Vince means nothing to
Jason's pov.After I had assured Clara and Donald that I was going to take care of the issue, those two left. Now it was Violet and I.She sat there not saying any word. In fact she wasn't even looking at me. I knew she had every right to be angry at me. I had hidden such big news from her and now she's getting to know through the internet."I'm sorry," I said with pain.I didn't want Violet to leave me because of Vince's issue. We got together because of him and I know how much she loves Vince. If he was taken away from her, I wouldn't guarantee that our love for each other wouldn't fail. Violet looked at me. "Why?" She asked.Her voice was lacking vitality and I was to be blamed for it."I'm sorry I had to hide Vince's parental issues from you. It's just that I didn't know how to tell you without talking about Clara. I didn't think it was my secret to tell," I explained nervously. Violet was quiet for a while and I began to get scared that she was too angry to talk to me."I'm re
Jason's POV It's been two days since my meeting with Camille and I was expecting to meet him up to conclude our discussion. Violet and I were still at the mansion, trying to comfort Clara. Grandpa had ordered Clara to come to the Clarksville mansion. Fortunately, our parents were not in town. I just wondered how mom would have felt to hear such news. Camille had thankfully not made any more sucking videos and that played a role in calming Clara down, even if it was just a bit."Hi honey." Violet kissed me, as I walked into the sitting room.Grandpa was still adamant about the DNA test not being done but it didn't matter to me anymore, I had finally been able to get a hair sample from Vince. It wasn't so hard as I got it from his comb. It has taken a bit of time due to Grandpa's prying eyes since he refused the DNA. Grandpa had also refused to let me go home with Vince but I had gotten it last night while Grandpa was fast asleep."You seem tired, are you okay? You went straight to b
Jason's POV. Camile and I were both seated in a coffee shop downtown away from prying eyes with the DNA result in hand. The DNA results had finally come and I had invited him out somewhere far from home so we could open it together privately. The last thing I needed was for the press and paparazzi to start chasing us around.I had seen the result in my office. At first I didn't want to come to Camille but then I had to let him know. He'd just opened the Milan envelope that contained the results in front of me. It wasn't the first time I was seeing this type of his expression but for some reason, he looked like he'd swallowed lime juice unknowingly as he looked less than pleased about whatever he was seeing."What the fuck is this?" He barked.I had wanted him to check it out first before I told him what I saw. His reactions were exactly what I expected it to be because that was my reaction also."This!" He threw the paper at me. "It doesn't match!" He said impatiently.I looked
