~♡LINGERING SNAKE♡~ Olivia Russell. "Oh! Via!!". Diane smiled widely at Olivia who walked in ignoring the couples standing by the entrance giving her a stern look. "There's an empty seat beside me right here. Come sit beside me". Diane greeted and after flashing Leonardo an annoying smile she went to sit beside Diane. "Never knew we were this close?". Olivia said to Diane when she sat beside her. "For the meantime though. I'll be making alot of sacrifices just to get Leonardo back and tolerating you is one of them". Diane rolled as she took a sip from her glass of wine and Olivia scoffed at her, then she glanced around and saw Kingston and immediately stood up. "I'll be right back". Olivia muttered to Diane who gave her a questionable look as she walked away. "Where's she going to?". Diane muttered and then her gaze caught Leonardo and Camilla's who were already seated in the Vip section like the amazing couple they were. She hated the fact that Camila's dress stood ou
~♡CLOSET BURNT♡~ Diane Dean. "You need to learn how to keep your anger in check and get used to seeing them together more often. Olivia said and Diane faced her. They're currently standing right outside the event hall. "You're f**king crazy for telling me that! Now i know the reason why we never get along so well. You think so stupidly and unlike me who has someone i already love you have no forseen future with guys whatsoever. And don't you dare mention Kingston as one of your eye meal cause it's obvious he doesn't see you as one of his numerous flirt mates not to mention partner!". Diane snapped and Olivia glared at her. "Is it my fault Leonardo prefers my younger sister to you? Now I get why little Camila could snatch your man from you with no stress at all! Its because you're so bitter and incompetent!". Olivia snapped and Diane out of rage slapped her but Olivia slapped hers back and sooon a fight broke between, them and people passing by began making videos
~♡WIFEY COOK♡~ Camila Vincento. "What have you all done to my entire wardrobe?". Camila mumbled with a curious look on her face as she strode towards the scene. "We just thought you needed a new wardrobe. So don't worry baby Cam. We'll first get you a new wardrobe and restock it with expensive designers suitable for a billionaire's young wife!". Rosella smiled widely, hugging Camila warmly when she saw that she was going to cry. "But I love my old outfits more". Camila muttered, staring at the burning clothes and Rosella pouted, staring at her. "Come with me my lady. Are you forgetting you have a dinner to prepare? The boss will be here anytime from now!". Nadia said and Camila nodded, as Nadia took her away into the house, while Rosella faced the maids that were with her. "You two together with Walter. Clear this place. And you three are coming clothes shopping with me. We'll be taking my brother's biggest jeep cause I plan to buy a lot of clothes for her. Of
~♡WHO MADE THIS?!♡~ Leonardo Vincento. "Don't move, I'm almost done". Leonardo muttered and Camila nodded slowly, turning back to face her front. Then he was done and without informing her he let go of her hair. "It's surprisingly neat".Leonardo muttered, commending her hair and Camila turned to face him. "Huh?". She asked not actually getting what he had said. "Nothing. Rosella told me she restocked your wardrobe after getting you a new one, can I see it?". Leonardo asked and Camila nodded, moving towards the beautiful pink wardrobe standing by the side of the wall, and Leonardo with his hands tucked in his pocket followed her, giving the wardrobe a blank look before taking his eyes from it and facing Camila who stood right next to the wardrobe. "You…haven't showed me the outfits she brought for you yet". Leonardo inquired and Camila was shocked at first before opening the wardrobe and without wasting time Leonardo began rummaging through it, inspecting each and
♡YOU MEAN HIS WIFE?♡~ Chairman Lucas. "You've been planning Rosella's wedding without both she and my knowledge?". Leonardo asked, his eyes flicking with anger as he approached them. "We'll talk about it later. As you can see, I have guests". The chairman said to Leonardo. "Really? So you're telling them first right? And probably a week to the wedding you'll let Rosella know?" Leonardo said. "We get you're paranoid cause she's your sis but are you gonna marry her yourself once she comes of age after all it's someone's sister you got married to". Edgar rolled eyes and Leonardo threw him a glare. "The f**k did you just say?". Leonardo asked, trying hard to comport himself. "That's enough. Though Edgar was right.. "Rosella's not ready for marriage yet. And if it's anything she'll get married to someone she's familiar with". Leonardo cut the chairman off and gave him a stern look. "I, as her father, have the right to decide that, not you!". The chairman sneered at Leonardo w
~♡MRS OLIVIA DAVE BRONTE♡~ "Leo? You're listening right?". Camila said again and Leonardo found himself smiling at how she shortened his name while everyone gasped in shock. "Yes, speak". Leonardo said and Camila became mute for a second like she was being told what to say. 'Not Rosella doing the pushing'. Leonardo scoffed as he rubbed his forehead patiently waiting for his little wife next words. "I…just wanted to ask how everything's going over there". Camila finally spoke and one of Leonardo's browse raised a little. "Fine. Everything's going well". Leonardo replied and everyone exchanged glances at themselves. "Okay. So…you're coming home early today right?". Camila asked again and Leonardo smiled but when he saw the numerous shocked eyes before him he stood up and excused himself, to the hallway. "Yeah. Why do you ask?". Leonardo asked, his hands in his pocket as he faced the wall, like a cute teenager speaking to his crush. "It's just that…I plan on making dinner tonight
CHAPTER 31 ~♡GOOD NIGHT?!♡~ Leonardo Vincento. "Give me back the remote". Leonardo said getting up to meet Camila who stood up from where she sat. "I'm really not joking right now. Pass me the remote before the match ends". Leonardo uttered as he chased after her, and they began running round the living room in circles, leaving the maids and everyone watching them in shock. "Just wait. Please just two hours!". Camila said running away from Leonardo who won't stop chasing her. Not till he got closer to her pulling her by the arm, she recklessly hit his chest making him lose balance and he fell backwards on the nearest sofa, with Camila landing right on top of him, and their eyes locked as their face where now super close to each other, that their warm breaths and soft panting slapped each of their faces. "Once you two are done staring at your silly faces. I have already ordered the maids to bring an extra television in here for peace to reign in this mansion, so pic
~♡OLIVIA'S SAVIOUR!♡~ Leonardo Vincento. "Do you have anything to say?". Camila asked in a tiny voice as she blinked effortlessly cute at him, and Leonardo who was lost for a second shook his head negatively. "No. Goodnight". Leonardo said before walking away towards his room and Camila only watched him leave in puzzlement. "Pretty sure he wanted to say something". Camila thought before shutting the door to her room. Leonardo got into his room going straight to the toilet he washed his face in the sink then he looked up at the mirror right in front of him. "Why did I suddenly think of that? Thank goodness it was only an imagination and I didn't voice it out. Like..I'm no kid why would i suddenly ask for her to sleep by my side? I must be crazy having that dumb illusion". Leonardo muttered before putting off the running tap and walking out of the toilet.
CHAPTER 84Leonardo Vincento“You think I'm taking my role as a father lightly? You think I'm not worried about my child? Diane was released because her time in prison expired, I'm not above the law there's nothing I can do, and about the safety thing? I have more than twenty guards watching you everyday, I just didn't tell you so that you wouldn't feel awkward when you're in public, but if this is how you feel, fine.”“Leo..” Camila began to feel bad for the way she had reacted but the latter ignored her, grabbed a pillow and walked towards the door. He suddenly halted and spoke over his shoulder. “Don't bother coming downstairs, have a goodnight’s sleep.” And with this he left.Camila slumped to bed and frustratedly ran her fingers through her hair. “What is wrong with me?!”NEXT DAY..Camila woke up the next day was saddened not seeing Leonardo beside her. As an apology for what she had said, she decided to prepare a meal and surprise him at the office.•••Arriving at the company,
CHAPTER 83Some Months Later..Camila VincentoCamila sat on the plump sofa, her feet immersed in a small basin filled with warm water. She was currently getting a massage from masseur and boy did it feel like heaven. No wonder she was known as one of the best masseurs in the country.“I'm done with your shoulders Mrs Vincento..” The masseur spoke and walked around the sofa and crouched in front of Camila. “I'll massage underneath your tummy, it's really relieving for pregnant women.” The masseur placed her palms on Camila's slightly swollen tummy and gently massaged it creating a new sense of relief for the latter. Camila smiled brightly with her eyes closed, enjoying the massuer’s talent but her enjoyment was soon cut short when a squirming voice resounded loudly in the large living area.“Who's gonna soon be an aunt? Me! Who's gonna play with some children soon? Me! Who's gonna spoil them? Me of course!” Rosella sang with zero rhythm. Her voice sounding like that of grinding machi
CHAPTER 82Leonardo Vincento “I need to sleep!”Camila crashed onto the bed, trying to ease the tension that had suddenly built up. Her was in a total mess, but she could still feel Leonardo infront of her. He gazed at her and a smile spread across his lips.“Why are you staring at me that way?” Camila genuinely wanted to know, he was mute but crossed the distance between them both and lifted her chin with his index finger.“You look so delectable tonight.” He admitted and this caused her cheeks to turn pink, he leaned for a kiss, but Camila didn't know how to accept him so she turned her head away.“Oh?” He was amused by her actions, intrigued by her shyness, He turned her head once again and tried to kiss her, but she repeated the action. Leonardo smirked before latching his lips onto hers, this time his movement was faster and so Camila was not quick to dodge. Camila’s eyes widened as Leonard's lips came crashing down unto hers, but she mentally admitted that she liked it and did
CHAPTER 81The days went by rather quickly. The doctor had strictly advised that Camila stay in the hospital for atleast two days so that it'll be easier to run more check ups and see if everything was under control.Camila knew the length of time she had used in sucking in her breath when she heard this. Hospitals where the least favourite places to be on her check book. The smell made her feel nauseous and just gazing at walls painted mostly white made her feel she was in an asylum.It was unbearable.But, during this while, aside from the times he had to take care of some official matters, Leonardo had never once left her side, he was always with her and she seemed to see their relationship growing. They smiled and even laughed with each other and sometimes Leonardo would flirt so much with her, Camila's whole face would turn as red as a ripe tomato. She always tries her best to look the opposite direction when this happens but the latter would already get a glimpse of everything a
CHAPTER 80He slashed the hand cuffs into two and immediately swooped Camila in his arms and the last thing the latter saw was Leonardo placing her in a helicopter. HOURS LATERLeonardo VincentoLeonardo was finally told by the doctor that he could come in and see Camila and without even wasting the slightest bit of time, he dashed into the ward room and succumbed by Camila's side. The latter had her brows furrowed and her wrist and palms were both red.Leonardo tenderly took them into his hands as if they were made out of glass and would shatter at any moment. His eyes were slightly teary as he gazed Camila's unmoving frame. Asides from informing him that he could come in to see Camila, he had also been told that the possibility of Camila going into a stroke due to shock was large.Leonardo shook his head and rested his temples on her hand.“Please don’t do this to me Camila. Wake up, I can't bare to see you like this. It hurts, it deeply hurts.” He gazed up at her face. “I'll stop
CHAPTER 79Andrew FernandezAndrew angrily slammed his hand against the wall, his hair dishealved and his eyes filled with rage. The aura in the room was very intensifying that is was almost hard for Justin to breath.“That fvcking bastard actually disgraced me infront of everyone!”Justin sighed. “He didn't. I mean the price you bided was quite high to–”“Exactly! Why did he bid such a huge amount? And for someone who's already his wife?! He knew what he was doing, he just wanted to embarrass me!”They suddenly began to hear a commotion outside. People screaming and the sound of footsteps thudding harshly against the ship. A staff personally sent by the captin suddenly entered the room and bowed respectfully at Andrew.“Mr Fernandez, the captin has informed everyone to evacuate the ship immediately. It's currently sinking.” The shivering staff did not wait for Andrew's reply and immediately ran away. Any more time he wasted could cause him his life.Justin who heard this began to sli
CHAPTER 78Camila Vincento Having quite enjoyed herself at the party, Camila laid on the bed and gazed up at the ceiling. She soon felt the other side of the bed sink in and she immediately breathed in knowing that Leonardo had just also laid down. Her heart for some reason best known to it, began to bump against its ribcage fast. Her body stiffened and she soon stilled into an unmoving position.What was going to happen now? Was Leonardo awake?Does he know she's awake?God, she can't seem to able to fall asleep.These things kept circulating themselves in Camila's mind furthermore distancing any chance of she getting some sleep.“Leonardo..” She meekly called. Even though awaiting his response still wished at the same time for him to give no response.Leonardo on the other hand immediately responded to Camila as if he had long waited for her to utter a word. “Is there a problem?” He asked and it took some while before Camila finally responded. Her cheeks turned slightly pink.“I c
CHAPTER 77Camila VincentoEverywhere was brightly lit up with numerous colourful lights and bustling music oozing from the large speakers. Camila slowly gazed around, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, dancing or either singing at the karaoke spot. She sneakingly took a peep at Leonardo, he didn't seem excited and she suddenly felt a little guilty dragging him all the way here.Bored, her mind soon drifted to what had transpired between them in the hotel room and she began to feel a little hot. Leonardo for a while had been doing that.. the closeness and all.Does it mean he.. likes her?A hand suddenly came into view instantly makingCamila crease her brows. She slowly looked up and her eyes met with a man's. He had dark hair which had been neatly swept back with gel. His eyes were dark, matching the color of his hair and a small scar resided at the right corner of his face."Mi amore.. it's a pleasure to meet you again."Camila furrowed her brows. “Do I know you?”Andrew t
CHAPTER 76Camila VincentoAdmist the awkward silence that reigned, Leonardo suddenly felt Camila's gaze on him and he arched a brow at the latter. "Stop drooling."Camila: "..."Camila was a little taken aback by his response. "M-me? I-I'm not drooling." Leonardo gave her a small smirk. "No need to lie, it's normal. What woman wouldn't drool over me?"Camila was once again rendered speechless by this man. Was he trying to cool off the awkward, crack a joke or was being for real?Leonardo suddenly started leaning towards her, instantly making the latter's eyes pop out of the socket. Why is he trying to kiss her? They're in a car for goodness sake! She wanted to yell but her mouth nor her body corresponded with her thoughts."W-what are you trying to do?" Camila was finally able to ask now that Leonardo had widened the space between them a little.Leonardo smirked.. "What does it look like?"Camilla was stunned for a while. D-did he just.. smirk? Now looking closely, his teeths were p
