Quickly Camila hurriedly went to the road and hailed a taxi which took her straight to the hospital. Nothing should happen to her father. They have grown close together lately and she really appreciated him.Seeing him lying on the hospital bed with his oxygen on, pierced her heart. He looked so weak and vulnerable. She must have been busy and didn’t pay him much attention. There and then, she promised herself that if her father should get well , she would take care of him more.“Dad, what happened to you?” Camila asked as he caressed his face. It was like he felt her hands and he quickly woke up. As much as Luke never wanted to admit it in the past, this girl was the apple of his eyes. He would do anything to erase the terrible past but he just couldn’t. His eyes were blood shot and his face was pale. He looked like he has aged some years more. “Don’t worry honey, age has just caught up with me. I didn’t think that I can be admitted in this damn hospital when things weren’t going o
There were so many things going on in her mind, but unfortunately, she couldn’t come up with an explanation. She couldn’t even put a name to who had the audacity to harm her father, so she asked absent mindedly “But who did Stella gamble the company to?”“It is me.” a deep familiar voice suddenly spoke bringing her out of her reverie. Camila thought that she heard it all wrong but it was true. The man standing at the door of the hospital was none other than Evans Chandler himself. She thought that she had gotten rid of him but apparently she was wrong.“You…..what do you have against my father?” Camila asked.He continued to advance on them” nothing personal, it was just that there was some unfinished business between the two of us and someone came between us. So I thought hard and learned that there was some wicked woman who can help me take my revenge.”Camila looked at her father with teary eyes.” Dad, I am sorry. It is all my fault. I am a very bad daughter, would you forgive me”
On the other side of the town, Camila was clutching her phone so tightly on her hands. Every time she attempted to dial his number, she would just go back and cancel it. The words she wanted to tell him wasn’t easy to utter.“Come on Camila, this thing is simple. Just say it the way it is. If he wants to help, that will be fine and if he doesn’t then you will have to look for another way” she was thinking silently in her head.She even went to the mirror and started practicing what she was going to tell him but it was still difficult for her. Seeing that she was running out of time for the scheduled dinner, she dialed that number. Soon after, a magnetic deep voice picked it up” Hello Camila! Did you miss me” he asked sheepishly imagining the funny face she was making just right now.Camila felt heat rushing from her head to her toes. Just hearing his voice did things in her body. Huh…. This man was making her behave like a really shameless woman. When was the last time she needed a ma
The kids were already seated on the table and they greeted the newcomer respectively. Peter gave them a charming smile and then proceeded to sit on his chair. The food was nice from the looks and he just started salivating even before beginning to eat.“Peter, feel free to eat as much as you want. This dinner was for your honour” Camila stated as she proceeded to push a bowl of rice towards him.“Alright, I am excited, let us taste this food” today he had great plans, he needed to behave as well as he could so that Camila can start to like him. The thought of having a complete family was so enticing since he had been thinking about it for a while now.“Do you like the food” Lucky asked just to make some conversation.“Yeah, my mommy is really a good cook” Leo added and Peter could see that the kids didn’t like him much but they were just trying to bear with him. “Thank you kids, I am sure that you will like my food too. In fact I also love beans and I have noticed that the two of you
“Remember not to bother her and the kids in the future or you will have to contend with me. I have to warn you that I am not an easy enemy to deal with” Peter understood that fact very well even before he said it.Samuel gave him a stare that tore through his body as he walked out. He only breathed a sigh of relief once he was out of his sight. That man must be feared, his enthusiasm of trying to woo Camila immediately diminished.But something was disturbing him, he has seen the man somewhere and he definitely realized that he was a common figure. He promised himself that he was going to investigate about him further, he was curious to know the identity of the man who scared the hell out of him was. Huh…any way there would be another day to fight.“Daddy!” Lucky exclaimed with tears in her eyes.“Daddy!” Leo too called really excited to see him sooner than expected. He wasn’t angry with him anymore and he was jovial and healthy. Camila must have done a good work to put his mind at
Samuel finished eating and asked for more food. It was as if Camila knew that he would require more so she had prepared an extra portion. He served him and went to the kitchen to start washing the plates. She would have loved to watch him eat but she feared that she would say something bad.Meanwhile, Samuel quickly finished his food and started yawning uncontrollably. He didn’t even know when he stood up from the table and found himself sleeping on the couch.When Camila later finished in the kitchen, she found the man sleeping on the couch. She couldn’t help admiring his beautiful features. He hasn’t had time to shave his beards and it was starting to sprout out on his jaw, he looked rugged and sexy at the same time.It was a breathtaking scene for the eyes and Camila just wanted to stare at him for the whole night. She knew that she wouldn’t miss to dream about him in that state.“Samuel, please it is time to leave” she called him softly and when he didn’t move even a bit, she pro
Samuel was calm, he was worried about nothing. As far as he was concerned, the guy should just shut up because he knew what was going to happen to him and he wasn’t sorry. He could care less about him. Gone were the days when he used to cherish him.” Listen to me very carefully, what happened in the past wasn’t my fault. Okay. Your brother didn’t die because of me, it was just a coincidence that he settled his debt with me by handing over his company to me. I didn’t even know that he committed suicide, so you shouldn’t blame me for that. My hands are clean, I never killed him.” “You killed him Samuel, my brother loved that company with all his heart. He never wanted to give it away. He regretted it so much until he ended up taking his own life. My parents couldn’t take it and they were so depressed.”He hesitated and then continued with the sad narration.“You know, we were partners in that business. When you took it and left me on the streets penniless, I had to start from the gro
After a short while, Samuel returned back to the company. He didn’t like how Camila was worried, it made her look exhausted. So the first person he wanted to see was Camila. He took his phone and called her office line, Camila picked it immediately. Camila had been anxious during the whole morning. She hasn’t seen Samuel or heard anything about him. All she wanted was to know what was the fate of her father’s company. She couldn’t bear to remember the look of desperation on his face while Stella and Bella celebrated.So when she saw his call, she became excited.“Yes, President Hudson” she greeted cheerfully. Samuel was stunned, normally she would be so moody and didn’t even want to talk to him.“Come to my office, I have some news for you” he said happily. It seemed that the man was in a good mood. Anyway, since yesterday he has been in a very jovial mood remembering how the woman melted in his arms. He only woke up this morning while pissed off when he remembered how Evans has been
