Rosella Vincento The man embarrassingly coughed. “..I'm not good looking.”Rosella: “..!!” Did he just say he wasn't good looking?! What the fvck?!!! Rosella felt like leaning across the table and giving this man a tight slap across his face while shouting at him to correct the abomination he had just spouted but instead, she calmy brought out a little mirror and nonchalantly reapplied her lipstick. “Oh yeah, handsome is not your thing.”The man chuckled and roughly ran his fingers through his hair. “Ouch, you're not just truthful, you're awfully truthful. Most people lie at this point ya know, so you won't hurt the latter's feelings.”Rosella shrugged. “You're to be blamed for this, you said you liked truthful people.” The man sincerely smiled, his eyes lingering on Rosella's face. “I’m Justin and you're Rosella?”“Yep.”“I prefer Rosie, you don't mind if I call you that, do you?”Rosella arched a brow. “Actually, I do mind. Only close friends are allowed to call me that, just call

Kingston Valdine Grandpa Dones gazed at Kingston with an arched brow. “Answer them.” Kingston slowly dropped his cutlery and gazed at Mr Valdine and Betty. “I was given this assignment a day two days ago, how do you expect me to complete it so fast?”Mr Valdine suddenly laughed and faced his father. “I told you this boy was incapable of doing anything, even to woo a girl seems to be a problem for him.” Ronald slammed his hand against the table. “Mind the way you talk about my son Arnold!”Grandpa Dones tapped his aid stick against the marble floor. “This is a family dinner Ronald and this will be the last time you slam your hands against my dinning table!”Ronald creased his brows. “Didn't you hear what Arnold said?”“I did and he's right, why hasn't your son been able to woo Chairman Lucas's daughter?” Grandpa Dones questioned and the latter didn't say anything and just angrily fisted his palms. Kingston on the other hand sighed. “Just give me a little more time, I'll see what I can

CHAPTER 57Justin slipped his phone into his pocket and casually walked towards a black SUV parked at the other end of the road, after surveying his environment, he entered the vehicle.“Was she suspicious?” A man asked immediately Justin got into the car.“Suspicious I work for you? No. Suspicious I might have bad intentions, sort of.” Justin replied and ran his fingers tiredly through his hair. The man opposite him leisurely drank from the disposable cup in his hand. “So she wasn't suspicious? Good. Now it's time to move onto phase two.”Justin sat up and looked at the man, his face void of any hint of playfulness. “Look here, I don't want to hurt anyone that's not part of my job.” The man suddenly smiled, but it came out rather scary. “Who said you were hurting anyone?”At..

He instantly reduced the volume of the video, deleted it and placed his device on the table. He massaged his temples and caught some employees peeping and fumed up. “Get back to work!”Currently.. Camila VincentoLeft alone in the living room, Camila pondered greatly whether to stay downstairs or go upstairs instead. After a crucial debate in her head, she finally decided to go upstairs coupled with the fact that she was extremely tired from the conversation she had with Diane.She pursed her lips, got up from the chair and ascended the stairs with sudden bravery, but upon reaching the door everything evaporated into thin air. She rested her forehead on the door and tightly held the hem of her top now pondering whether to knock before going in or not.“It's also your room Camila! Why's there a need to knock? Just go in!” She shouted at herself and after several deep breaths, she walked into the room but to her dismay, Leonardo wasn't in it. She suddenly heard droplets of water from t

CHAPTER 59Camilla VincentoCamila blinked wondering what Leonardo meant but after series of racking and thinking she still didn't understand a thing he said and so she shook her head at him. “I still don't understand.”Leonardo sighed and finally fed her the last spoon. He stood up and walked towards the bed before nudging his jaw towards the bathroom. “Go take a shower, I'll wait here.” Camila suddenly remembered what had transpired between them earlier and she blushed. “Please don't come close to the door if you hear any sound.” Leonardo arched a brow but before he could ask what she meant Camila had already ran into the bathroom.Camila tightly locked the door, making sure that even if Leonardo tried to open it, it wouldn't budge. There's no way she'd allow him see her naked under.. She shook her head and quickly stripped her clothes, once she was done she walked underneath the shower, turned the knob and let the warm water run down her body. She stood under the shower for a while

CHAPTER 60Camila VincentoThe sun rays of light penetrated through the blinds reflecting on Camila's eyes. Feeling the discomfort, Camila squinted her eyes and slowly opened them but immediately covered them, after a while she opened her eyes and they finally adjusted to the lights. Feeling the other side of the bed sunken in, she slowly turned her head and found Leonardo peacefully sleeping besides her. Unlike the last time, Camila was not really shocked by this, and instead of jumping out of the bed upon seeing him, she decided to actually look at him.Turning her head fully towards Leonardo's position, Camila slowly scrutinized each and every feature he possessed. From his eye lashes down to his nose, from his nose to his cheeks, then his brows and finally, his lips. She suddenly felt a large palm grab her wrist and was instantly shocked when Leonardo suddenly opened his eyes. Was he awake the whole time?Leonardo gazed at Camila for a while before a small smile made its way to th

CHAPTER 61NadiaNadia pitifully clicked her tongue before turning on her heels and walking into the house. She brought out the spare phone she always had with her and sent a message to an unknown number.«I’ve started the job. Please don't forget my pay.»Her message immediately marked ‘read’ but there was no reply. Nadia sighed and slipped the phone into her pocket. Such a prideful man, even to respond seems to be a problem.FlashbackLeonardo hesitated a little, leaving abruptly didn't seem like the nicest thing to do but at the same time he couldn't barge into the bathroom and tell Camila he was leaving, so once he was downstairs he immediately called for Nadia.“Yes Young master?”“Give this to Camila.” He handed her a note. “And tell her I'll be back soon, an emergency occurred at the office.” Nadia nodded before quickly stretching out her arm that held his ironed suite. “Here you go sir.”Leonardo hummed and slickly slid into the suite. “Don't forget to relay my message, okay?”

CHAPTER 62Camila VincentoCamila rested her head against the car window, her eyes slightly filled with tears and her cheeks flushed. The thought of Leonardo currently in the arms of another woman didn't sit well with her heart one bit, instead it pained her to think that the man she was married to was actually cheating on her. She thought Leonardo was different from those type of men.. guess she was wrong.“We've arrived ma'm.” The driver snapped Camila out of her thoughts and the latter nodded before grabbing her bag and getting out of the car. She placed her bag over her shoulder and sighed before walking into the school's building. Once she arrived at her class and opened the door, everyone immediately froze and all gaze landed on her. Camila confused by this awkward situation just lowered her head and walked towards her table, but it didn't stop here, people soon began to whisper and they'd all glance her way from time to time, confused, Camila decided to ask Margret, a friend o

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

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
