I was discharged a few days later, Gina came to the hospital to get me along with Cameron and a driver. We drove back home in silence, after all my efforts I expected that I would get Cameron to open up to me but no matter what I tried it was impossible he was closed up like a shell.So I made a decision to stop poking him and wait until he's ready to open up to me. There seemed to be a lot on his mind as he stared outside the window completely unaware. My heart broke watching him in this state, if only there was a way I could help alleviate his pain. So far no one had mentioned a word about the masked man or the reason they disappeared that night leaving me curious as hell. I asked a couple of times but no matter how hard I pushed I never got an answer. Although I felt it was unfair, because I was also a victim in this accident. I decided to bury it and conduct my investigations on the low. We arrived home and the gate man surprisingly at the gate, although I noticed his skin looke
I observed her lips halt, her gaze fixated on me, her expression etched with dissatisfaction. It appeared as though she yearned to utter something, yet battled to restrain herself. The look on her face revealed it all. After moments of silence, she finally yielded, uttering the customary pleasantries of well-being. However, I sensed that her words held a hidden meaning, insinuating something else entirely. Once again, the thought crossed my mind - could she truly be the one responsible for my attack?If indeed she is, why have Cameron and the others not taken action yet? What could possibly drive a proud woman like Gina and her daughter to bow down before someone like Cecilia? Countless questions plagued my mind.She turned away from me, directing her attention towards Gina and Blair instead. "How about you both rise from the ground? I don't wish to appear as the villain here," she said, bursting into a fit of hysterical laughter.Her repulsive laughter echoed through the air, yet no
Though he sounded reassuring and I wanted desperately to believe in his words, the facts were presented before me right now. "How can you ensure my safety when you can't even ensure yours?" I don't know what caused me to say that in a burst but that's exactly what this situation is giving right now. For a split second he seemed hurt but as always he was quick to mark his emotions, in the blink of an eye he was back to squeezing his face like a rock, but I could tell that deep down he didn't really mean it, right? I had to delude myself into thinking so for my sanity to remain. "What did you just say to me?" His was visibly upset. "You heard me right, or why else would you allow your mother kneel before your ex-girlfriend? What happened to the Cameron I know? Where has he run off to?" I was being harsh on him for a reason, because I wanted him to gather courage and speak up against whatever the hell is going on right now. "Listen to me Avery, I said go upstairs." His tone was firm
The whole room went still, eagerly awaiting him to reveal what this suggestion was. “I think it’s too early for the children to be separated from their mother.” “Don’t you think it’s better to do it now that they haven’t grown yet? It won’t take long to forget about her.” Cecilia casually said.“What do you mean by that?”“Exactly what you heard!” Her eyes turned to me, “I want you out of our lives for good, that way Cameron and I can finally have peace.”The thought alone was ridiculous, I wondered how she could speak with a straight face, “don’t tell me you’re really going to divorce me and get married to this woman.”Though Cameron hadn’t mentioned it yet, I could tell since Cecilia had been hinting at it for a while. She seemed ecstatic as she spoke with pride making me wonder if she had no shame. But I knew that for a woman like her, shame was a foreign concept. There’s no line she wouldn’t cross to achieve her goals, it would be stupid of me to fight her because of Cameron. Unl
“Since you vehemently refuse to leave, how about you go back to being the maid you once were? Cecilia laughed. She sounded utterly ridiculous but Cameron wouldn’t say anything.“You want me to go back to being a maid?” I repeated though I had heard her correctly the first time.“Why? Don’t want to? Feel free to let me know if you have any complains.”It was clear that she was taunting me, daring me to say a word in defiance. And although I desperately wished to yell the words crazy bitch in her face, I could only stand still and weigh the options before me. Sure I missed my days of working as a maid, I never one day thought I would go back to being one. No doubt Cecilia was attempting to humiliate me by making such a suggestion, working as a maid wouldn’t be easy. I was aware that this was all a trap to get me to leave on my own, but even while knowing that. I still choose to jump anyway. “I don’t mind working as a maid.” I said pretending to be strong, “I’ll take anything over bein
As we made eye contact, I longed to hear him say that it was all a joke and clear up the misunderstanding but much to my dismay he retracted his fingers and looked away. “You should stop provoking Cecilia,” he spoke calmly, “my decision to divorce you has nothing to do with her.”I sniffed, “look me in the eyes and say it.” However Cameron wouldn’t budge, “even a little child can tell you’re lying.” It was all too clear. “Deny it all you want but what you can’t hide are your feelings for me, I see it clearly so I don’t know why you wouldn’t resort to this.”He turned around instantly meeting my gaze with a harsh glare. “I never loved you from the beginning, you were the one who kept forcing your way into my life, even after I told you that it would be impossible for me to love a maid in this lifetime, you still persisted. Why? Were you hoping I’d fall hopelessly in love and split my fortune with you?”“Excuse me?” I couldn’t help but blink in disbelief already aware of what he was in
My heart was racing rapidly as I stepped forward and kissed him, I felt him go still for a moment but that didn’t stop me from pushing forward, however he soon regained himself and pushed me away in a hurry. Disappointment was written all over my face as I met his gaze, I was hoping he’d embrace me and pull me closer however the looked on his face hinted that he wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. Perhaps I was wrong?“What do you think you are doing?” Cameron questioned with a glare, “I already made it clear that we are getting a divorce, what if someone saw us? Do you realize the misunderstanding that would cause?”“You mean Cecilia?” It was very clear who that someone was, “if she was the one who kissed you would you have pushed her away like you did to me?” Honestly I was curious to know, though it seemed like the answer wouldn’t be what I longed to hear, still I wanted to hear directly from the horses mouth. “I have made myself very clear, from now what I do, who I’m with i
He strolled off without waiting for a reply, leaving me standing there with my mouth open. As soon as Cameron was out of sight, my knees gave up on me and I crumbled to the ground placing a palm on my aching heart as I struggled to breathe. While I was busy bawling my eyes out, someone stepped into my view. I trailed my eyes up to find Cecilia staring down at me with a mischievous sight.“What a lovely sight to witness.” She marveled at my misery, “and what’s even better is that things are only going to get worse from now on.”I ceased tears immediately rising to my feet, now that there was only the two of us alone I had questions to ask. “What have you done to him?”“Nothing,” she shrugged, “he’s the one who came to me, begging for my help.”“And what exactly does he need help with?”“If I told you, you wouldn’t be able to do a thing anyway, so what’s the point?”I went silent, struggling to come up with a response, in the end it all boils down to my status, because I’m way too benea
