Three years ago, Camilla had a one-night stand that left her with more than just memories—a son, Carlos, whose father vanished into the night. Now, her carefully constructed life is thrown into chaos when her mother, Elena, introduces her new fiancé, Emilio—the same man Camilla thought she’d never see again. Worse, he has no idea Carlos is his son. Torn between her love for her mother and the undeniable connection she still feels for Emilio, Camilla is pushed into a dilemma. Emilio, caught between his loyalty to Elena and his desire to be with Camilla and Carlos, must make a life-altering decision. As their dark past seems to threaten their future, Camilla must decide—can she risk everything for love, or will the weight of their shared secrets tear them apart forever? Will Camilla and Emilio find their way back to each other, or will they let the tempest rocking their lives hinder them?
View MoreCamilla’s POV “What's that?” I leaned my head across, checking to confirm. The cashier could no longer keep to her serious mode, she burst out laughing. “I'm so sorry but I must say you both are so funny.” She then said, trying to suppress the laughter. Emilio turned to be the one embarrassed, he grinned shyly. Wanting to cover up the awkwardness, he draped his hand over my shoulder to make it seem as though we are together. “Sometimes, it's good to have them in case your partner is on a business trip.” He declared matter-of-factly. I wasn't gonna push his hand away but hearing him say partner, I slap his hand off. “When did we become partners?” I asked in a sarcastic style. “We're just–” He sealed my mouth, I was mumbling, trying hard to redress his words but I was barely audible, I soon gave up. When I did, he released me. By then, the cashier was done and handed his stuff back to him. She wasn't looking at our faces, I just realized. Smiling to myself, I dashed off not wanti
Camilla’s POV “Bella?” I gasped and she hummed. No wonder I haven't noticed her presence here at home. She isn't like mom who could be home and no one notices. Bella was lousy, she would always be heard chatting or arguing with Richard, she couldn't stay silent in their room. “What the hell!” Whatever she was there for wouldn't be a good reason and she didn't even go there under the label of my sister but I in particular, just because we are twins? “Summon all of the staff you have there with you and switch this call to a video call.” Carlos’ presence popped into mind. “Hold on for a moment,” I told her and paused the call. “Kiddo, I want to use the restroom. I'll be right back.” I lied to him. “Okay mummy,” he replied in his little voice, smiling. I returned the smile, rising from the ground. The second I turned, I bit my lower lips, flipping my fingers in reflex relief. I nearly exposed my secret before everyone. First, it was to the doctor, now I was about letting my staff kn
Camilla’s POV I went speechless, not knowing what to say. Even my head became too stiff to nod, I was just staring at him without making any motion. “Yes, I know it's sad but since it's just showing warning signals, it can be averted.” Hearing this, I shut my eyes for a brief moment, releasing a deep breath. My curious mind prompted me suddenly into asking what was the remedy, I would do it with all of my heart. “What's the remedy, doctor?” I asked, leaning across his desk. “When was the last time you had sex?” I heard him ask, I blinked a couple of times, cocking my head to the side. I thought I didn't hear him well so I decided to ask him to repeat. “Huh?” “Sorry it might seem as though I'm intruding into your private life but I need this to verify this result here.” “Three years ago, I would say four though as the last was the night my three year old son got conceived.” “That's a really long time and you don't have a husband or boyfriend?” I was going to say no when I real
Camilla’s POV “Camilla, where have you been?” Mom asked and I withdrew slowly, my eyes flickering. This is the real question I'd tried so much to avoid and would have loved to evade if not that Bella pushed me into coming out. “And were you eavesdropping on us?” Bella cut in. “When you were shouting?” I barked at her. Mom stepped forward with a serious face, she was really curious to know where I'd been but when I looked at Emilio wishing he would at least say something, his face looked elsewhere. Out of shame, I lowered my face to the ground. “I didn't feel like coming home early,” I mumbled. “If you would just excuse me, I want to take my usual morning walk.”“By this time?” Mom sounded suspicious, even her eyes. “Baby, I'll be returning back to my room.” Emilio leaned and kissed mom on the cheek which got me really jealous, I shut my eyes tight for a brief moment. When I opened it, she was smiling radiantly which made me feel even worse. “I thought it was something serious,”
Camilla’s POV “Heyyy sis, it's me.” It was Sarah. “Gosh! You scared me.” I whispered. “What are you doing here?” “I thought as much that you would want to sneak in.”Ever an FBI Agent. “True. I want to sneak in after getting into an argument with Emilio at the office. Let me go, I don't want anyone to know when I came back.” There were footsteps approaching and I knew I had to quickly go away. “Please don't tell anyone I'm here.” I said to her and she nodded. Dashing off to the side, I opened the door of my room and got in, closing it slowly behind me. Now my room is linked with my son’s, everything we needed was right inside. I had a semi-kitchen here, apart from the general one, toilet, bathroom. My refrigerators were stuffed with several foodstuffs, snacks and drinks, even already cooked food. Nancy was in charge of making sure all these are available, her job didn't stop at taking care of Carlos only but I. I greeted her upon going over to my son’s room. “Thanks for taking c
Camilla’s POV We climbed up the floors through the special elevator to the display floors where we had over tens of thousands of elite luxury fashion styles. I walked Isabelle to the women's section. “What do you want, my princess?” I looked beside me upon getting no sudden response to seeing her gazing at me with a sweet smile. Then she extended her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. “You look so pretty, no wonder you're lucky to get such a handsome man.” Her words got my thoughts sailing back to her telling who he was. “So he's a billionaire CEO just like me?” But with what I heard, I'm afraid he's richer than me. I was going to check out his net worth once I'm done and alone. To Isabelle, I smiled. “Thanks so much but we aren't together.” “What?” I wanted to tell her that he's with my mom but another instinct quickly refrained me. I couldn't tell what might happen, building a scandal was the last thing on my mind. Instead of speaking about him as my step-dad, I in
Camilla’s POV “What's your problem?” I lashed out as I opened the door. He stumbled, hitting on me and we both fell on the ground, his hands placed on my sides. I was even thinking of pushing them away only to realize that they were touching my bare ass. “Huh?” My widened, darkened eyes descended on him, I tried to push him off, but then the hands extended now. It was getting worse, I tried to remember how he got to pull my trousers by mistake then I recalled that I'd loosened my trousers’ robe since I wanted to sit and relax. Hearing the alert on the door, I didn't care to check myself even when I thought it was the Princess. It got worse when I wore string pants today. I always knew that he wanted to seduce me but this very moment, he was taking his seduction to a higher level by trailing his fingers down to my clit. “Gosh!!!” This word popped out from my lips before I could even realize it. “Are you fucking me here like this?” My voice which had been hoarse and daring turned u
Camilla’s POV “What's your business with the father of my child? Did you come here to know about his father or be with my mom?” I lashed out on him and dashed inside of the house. Right inside, my mom walked up to me with a stern face. Her arms were folded across her chest. “What's it, mom?” I asked while dropping Carlos. “Carlos, come here!” She called my son and I wondered what she was up to. He stood up and went frightfully to her, perhaps because she is always serious, he feared he might be scolded. Upon getting to her, she patted his head, managing a smile. Behind her was a figure, seeing Emilio made me clench. I couldn't tell why I was filled with so much anger at the moment, it seemed I hated him, I didn't really know if it was him coming again into my life as a step-dad rather than as a husband that got me pissed. How will I ever explain to Carl when he grows up and demands to know much about his dad that Emilio who's his dad is also her granddad. “Go and play in the gar
Camilla’s POV I was the one driving together. My black Bugatti was ready and I just got inside waiting for Emilio who soon arrived in a pair of black joggers and yellow hoodies with a nice new model of Air Jordan. My eyes ran down his dressing, then back to his face. “Good morning, Emilio.” I greeted, flinching my face away. “Are you coming to the company dressed like this? You should be on corporate.” “Good morning, Camil.” My nerves stiffened. What did he just call me? I didn't turn but pretended not to hear this part. His response was left hanging, one thing that would have caused me turning but I resisted the temptation. “Alright, let's go.” My eyes focused on the way before me, I could sense his lingering gaze on me but it was my duty not to succumb to the pressure of looking at him.Throughout the short journey, silence engulfed between both of us and I liked it. I didn't want him asking me any questions or saying something that would make me uncomfortable. We arrived at
Camilla’s POV Everything seemed to be in place, except one. A loving husband.Peter Luca and I were best friends right from childhood. He was close with my siblings but of all, I guessed he loved me most as his attention was always showered on me most of the time. I grew up to believe he actually loved me most. We married three years ago upon seeing him as the most suitable man. Soon after marrying Peter, I proposed we have kids immediately, I wanted a family right away so I'll have them grow fast, then I can become an active CEO again. “I don't think we should start a family so early, why not focus on your career?” He suggested. Though I didn't really understand why he got so keen on us focusing on my career as a newly married woman, I decided to listen to him. I thought he must be so loving and selfless to point out my needs first. Since we wouldn't have a family soon, I wanted to achieve a steamy, passionate sexual relationship with him. Same way we were close as best friends, ...
