Chapter 4
**Harry**
After freshening up, I sat on my study chair and brought out some file to work on and placed it on my study table.
A knock was heard on the door. “Come in” I said and Chloe strolled in.
“You work everytime” she frowned looking at the files on my desk.
“More work. More money” I simply said.
“You have enough money, if you don’t work for the next few years, you definitely cannot go bankrupt” Chloe Uttered and sat on my bed.
I said nothing as I continued glancing at the files on my table.
“You look sad. Is something wrong” Chloe sounded worried.
Chloe is my younger sister. Am just two years older than her. She is nice, lively and carefree.
She is a journalist. Why she chooses to study that, no one knows. Chloe have always wanted to be a lawyer but she changed her mind after entering college.
My dad doesn’t care about what she studies, he is more concentrated on me . Am the only male and he wants me to take over his business. My mom is dead. She died in a car accident few years ago.
My dad changed from a nice man to this cold and bossy person. Our communication reduced drastically.
He is still my dad but no matter how hard we try, we can’t be close as we are before.
“Nothing” I answered Chloe gruffly.
“Is it about Scarlett?”
Chloe and I are really close. Even though am always busy with work and we hardly sees each other, whenever we have the chance to talk, I won’t hesitate to tell her everything that is going on in my life.
“Not really” I replied.
“Brother, Scarlett choose to leave you, her loss. She would come crawling back....”
“I don’t want her anymore” I interrupted her.
“That the spirit!” Chloe smiled.
“Ever since you introduced her to me, if you could remember, I told you I don’t like her. I felt a bad aura around her when I saw her. And she is very stupid for thinking of leaving you for dad. How was she able to make dad marry her?”
“She is a slut. Sluts have their way” I huffed.
“I know right, since it not Scarlett that is bothering you. What is?”
I looked at Chloe. “Well, I met someone ”
Her eyes lightened up immediately. “Wow, really?? A girl right? You like her? Is she pretty? Where does she stay?”
“Take a chill pill Chloe” I rolled my eyes.
“Just tell me”
“Just forget it, it nothing....”
“You are joking right. You can’t leave me hanging” she frowned.
“Am serious. It nothing, I just want to see your reaction”
“Argh”
I smirked. “Will go back to work now” I said and faced the pile of files on my desk.
Chloe grumbled and laid on my phone bringing out her phone.
I couldn’t concentrate. I kept thinking about her.
*Do you remember me?*
First of all, I love her bravery. Not all girls can walk up to me and ask. She would have just acted like she don’t know me.
I denied her. I couldn’t miss the confused look on her face when I told her I don’t know her.
*so you are just going to act ignorant right? You had sex with me and....**
I was quite shocked when Asher introduced her as his wife.
Asher works under me in the company. I had no idea he was married. He was employed into the company about a year ago.
But he is suppose to have a ring on his finger right? I didn’t even check.
Even the camille lady. Gosh! I can’t believe I had sex with Asher’s wife.
But why did she come to me when she is married. Why did she want me to admit am the one she met at the club house.
She should have just let it slide and act like nothing happened.
This is crazy! Really crazy. I can’t tell Chloe this, she is going to eat me raw.
**stop thinking about it, Harry** my sub conscious said to me.
Yeah, am not going to think about it again. I probably won’t meet her again.
*********
Camille pov
(Few days later)
Asher came back early and I had to quickly prepare dinner but getting to the kitchen, I realized we have ran out of food stuffs.
I went back to the living room. Asher was busy operating his laptop.
“I need to go to the grocery shop” I informed him.
“There is no foodstuff in the house” he inquired and I nod in affirmative.
He looked at me then check the time on his phone.
It was just few minutes to 7.
“Take my car keys in my drawer. Come back early” he said and I nods and left for the bedroom.
I took his car keys and exit the house.
I was almost near the grocery shop when a upcoming car hit my car.
My eyes widened as I stopped the car immediately.
I came out of the car and saw Asher’s car was scratched.
Oh God!, Asher is so going to kill me.
“Whoever is in the car should come out. You need to pay for this” I proclaimed.
The driver’s door opened and a man came out of it.
His face came into view and I gasp. Oh my God, it him again.
I remembered Asher introducing him as Harry.
He looked shocked too as he just stood staring at him.
I blinked and then looked away from him.
“Can’t you concentrate on the road uh?!, Now, you have scratched my car”
Oh God! My heart was beating as I said this.
“I would give you the money to repair it if that what you want” I heard him say and I looked up at him.
Wait, what!
His car door opened and a feminine body came out of the car.
Oh good, his girlfriend is here. Jealously ran through my spin.
“What is happening?” She asked looking up to look at me. Why does she look strangely familiar?.
Her eyes seems to widen too. “Wait, camille?”
“Chloe” I said.
“Wow, it been so long. I barely even recognize you” She smiled pulling me into a hug.
Chloe is my high school friend. We weren’t that close when we were still classmates but we do talk once in a while.
After graduation, I never saw her again.
Wait, realization struck me. Chloe is dating Harry?
“Same here. I remember you to be really short” I chuckled.
“Your height is still the same just that you look more prettier.” She complimented and I blushed.
“About your car, am so sorry”
“Oh, it fine”
“I would call a car repairer now.” She said and before I could talk,she quickly brought out her phone and made a call with someone.
“He would be here in a few minutes.” She said and I nodded.
“Anyways, Harry meet my high school friend, Camille. Camille , this is my brother, Harry”
I felt a huge weight left me immediately she said this. So they are siblings.
“Nice to meet you” Harry said without glancing at me.
Perfect! Just perfect.
“Chloe, let go, you already called the repairer” Harry stated.
“What, No! You damaged her car. You are staying here till it gets fixed.” Chloe declared and that made me wonder, who is older?
“Whatever” Harry said leaning on his car.
I stared at him awkwardly. Why does he have to be so cold?
Chapter 5*Camille*My stomach knotted as I packed the car in front of the house.Am in trouble and I know that. The car was repaired, unfortunately, did not arrive on time. Chloe chatted with me while Harry just stood saying nothing.When the car repairer finally showed up, he quickly repaired my car within 15 minutes and Harry paid him.“Give me your digit. We should hang out sometimes” Chloe smiled at me giving me her phone.I put in my number and hand it back to her.“See you around” I waved, glancing at Harry one time, and entered my car, off to the grocery shop immediately.I slowly opened the front door and met Asher still with his laptop in the living room.Oh God, help your daughter.He turned to face me and I could feel his temple throbbed with rage.
Chapter 6Preparing Asher’s favorite food made me go down memory lane. It was when we started dating I found out Asher’s best food is Macaroni and Cheese. I hated it but I couldn’t allow him know that. I didn’t want to make him angry so I would prepare it for him and eat with him.Along the line, I started getting used to it until I eventually loved the food. But today, am preparing his favorite food for him with mixed feelings.First of all, why is he in a happy mood?. I don’t trust him at all. I was feeling really sleepy which was really strange. I wasn’t the type of person that goes to bed early.After vomiting, I felt really weak but had to drag myself down to the kitchen to prepare Asher’s food. I wouldn’t like to get in Asher’s bad book this night.After some reason, the macaroni’s scent wants to make me wanna puke
Chapter 7 *Harry Pov* I knot my tie absentminded as I checked my reflection in the mirror. My mind wasn’t at rest at all. Scarlett would be getting married this week and honestly, it hurts. I really do love her or I loved her but a part of me still loves her. I still have feelings for her and that is the most annoying part. After everything have done for her, this is how she choose to pay me back. I cared for her. She was the first girl I have ever cherished and loved sincerely. It hurts she decided to leave me. She wants money, I would have given the whole world to her because am crazily in love with her but she choose to go after my dad. Who does that? *Scarlett^* my subconscious answered for me and I furrowed my brows. I
Chapter 8*Camille*The next morning......I woke to find out Asher didn’t come home. I had gone to bed early after leaving Annie’s place in the evening.I was feeling really weak and had to go to bed early. Besides, I already had dinner at Annie’s.There was no sign of Asher and I needed no soothsayer to tell me he didn’t come home.It not the first time he won’t spend the night but he would call or text to let me know he won’t be coming home. A meeting or business trip came up, he would say.I brought out my phone from the drawer beside my bed and checked to see if there is any message from Asher but none.Just a message from Annie and Chloe. I clicked on Chloe’s message.Chloe- when are you free?, would y
Chapter 9*Harry* I stared at Asher in anger as he bowed down his head saying nothing.“I don’t understand what’s up with you these days. The work assigned to you, it was done roughly and I gave you the opportunity to do it again but same result”“Am so sorry. Am just not my usual self these days” he explained.“Did something happen?” I inquired.“At all. It just...am sorry, I will rectify the work” he stated and I nods.“Am giving you the last chance. Do it right”I said and dismissed him after telling him to call Avery in.Avery entered a minute later and bow down slightly.“You called for me”“Yeah. The business meeting in two da
Chapter 10He looked shocked too and opened his mouth slightly and the words that came out of his mouth shocked me.“Am sorry”..I blinked not believing my ears. “For...for what?” I stuttered trying to avoid his eyes.“For bumping into you” He simply said.“That all?” I signed in disappointment.He won’t apologize for the one night stand. He would only apologize for bumping into her.The fuck.I was still in thoughts when he walked past me and left till he was out of sight.I hissed loudly as I racked my hand in my hair frustratedly.But wait, what is he doing in Los Angelos. Is he perhaps stalking me.That is not even possible. But why is he here? I hope he doesn’t tell Asher anyth
Chapter 11**Harry pov**Call me stupid, call me dense, call me foolish,Call me all sorts of names cause i deserve it.I left Camille to her fate and went for my meeting.I wonder how she is...,okay, am just joking.Am currently in GoodLife hospital waiting room , I cared less about the contact.Someone’s life is at stake. Avery wasn’t happy with this but there was nothing she could do.I asked her and John to go for the meeting. I don’t care if I don’t the contract.Avery had insisted she take camille while I go for the meeting but I had declined.I don’t know why I did that but I want to save Camille.I rest
Chapter 12 SOME HOURS LATER.... *Camille pov* I was back in the hotel room with Annie comforting me. I still can’t believe I was pregnant. Now, the baby is gone. It all feels like a dream. After waking up, I had called Annie to come pick me up that was after I was told of the miscarriage. “Camille, just calm down okay. I believe everything happened for a reason and I feel so bad I wasn’t present when this happened “ “Don’t be. You didn’t know. I don’t either...it just...” i sniffled. Annie hugged me immediately. “You cry again, I cry too” “Fine, I won’t. I just have one request..” “What?” “Can you please not tell Asher about this...” “Common, he is your husband. H
