CHAPTER 15 Diane Dean. "You think she got my message?". Diane whispered to Tasha as the students kept on talking. "We can't conclude that yet till she really acts like one who did". Tasha saud and Diane smirked. "I won't be so nice if I come back to warn her to stay away from my man, I'll see to it that she keeps a clear distance from him even when they take the same lane". Diane said and Tasha nodded.👥 DD are you engaged to sir Leonardo?👥 Do you both live under the same roof?👥 How does he looks when he wakes up in the morning?👥 DD c'mon, you promised to answer our question if we payed attention which we all did. The students kept on asking multiple questions all at once with their phones ready to make videos and Diane smiled before speaking. "Firstly, Leonardo and I are very close friends. Though we're still in the friendship range cause he has something to clear up first, before we move to the next step so for now no relationship till h
~♡LEO'S THREAT♡~ Chairman Lucas. "Just do as I've just told you. It's the best way to go about this whole thing right now". The chairman said and Leonardo stood up. "I guess you're done giving me guidelines. I'll be taking my leave". Leonardo said, adjusting his suit. "Take every single word I just told you to heart or face the consequences later. Plus we signed a contract with Camila's family so I'm sure he wouldn't like it if lips around lash spitefully at his youngest daughter because her so-called husband lacks professional and self management!". The chairman snapped, getting pissed. "I'm currently working on those two weaknesses you just mentioned and as for her Dad getting mad because of the news headlines? Don't worry he won't give a fuck about anything going on with his daughter. It's more like he sold her to us". Leonardo said before walking towards the door. On getting to the door Dave walked in but immediately bowed the moment he sighed Leonardo who g
THEME: An Arranged marriage CHAPTER 18Camila Vincento. "What are you doing here?". Diane asked when she had walked up to Camila with Tasha standing behind her. "I was right. You do know me". Camila muttered and Diane broke into laughter. "Know you? I'm I that jobless that I have to know nobody like you?". Diane said as she stopped laughing while Rosella glared at her. "You claim so. But how come you're being rude to me right now? What if i'm what of your numerous fans out there. Is this how you treat a fan? Or you just hate me for no reason at all?". Camila asked and Diane rolled eyes at her. "Okay you got me. I hate you so what?". Diane smirked at her. "You're such a bitter bitch!". Rosella snapped at her. "You know that already so why make such a big deal about it Rose". Diane glared at Rosella who scoffed in annoyance. "Why? Why do you hate me?". Camila asked slowly as she fidgeted on the hem of her huge clothes. "I'm sure with Rosella close to you, she might or will tell
~♡HER DRESS SHOPPING♡~ Mr Russell. "Please come sit down". Mrs Russell said. "I don't plan on spending so much time here so there'll be no need for that". Leonardo replied as he faced Mr Russell, with his hands tucked in his pocket. "What do we owe your August visit Mr Vincento?". Mr Russell. "Your entire family will be attending tomorrow's event right?". Leonardo asked. "Yes! We even picked our clothes earlier this week. Do you need help for a runway partner?". Olivia asked and her father threw her a stern look. "It's a plus one he needs for tomorrow's event and not a runway partner it's not a fashion parade honey". Mrs Russell said to Olivia. "I know that already. Quit making me look like a fool in front of him". Olivia muttered to her mum. "So why did you actually ask? Aren't we supposed to be there in the first place?". Mr Russell asked. "Well I would love it if you all don't. My wife will be there and I wouldn't want her feeling moody and uncomfortable because of your pr
THEME: An Arranged marriage ~♡DO I LOOK GOOD IN IT?♡~ Camila Vincento. "It's so annoying how I get to eat all these veggies all the time. I mean I just had it this morning before leaving for school". Camila muttered and Nadia patted her hair gently. They were currently dining and Nadia was serving Camila. "Don't worry from tomorrow I'll resume preparing your favorite meal with lots and lots of steaks. But for tonight let's follow sir Leonardo's orders". Nadia cooed and Camila glanced at her. "Leonardo?". Camila mumbled. "Yes! He's the one who ordered for you to feed plainly on veggies for the whole of this week since you fall sick easily but from tomorrow I'll prepare your favorite meal though a little plate filled with veggies will be beside it and it's a must to eat it, you can't escape it as long as you live in this mansion". Nadia said and Camila in anger immediately bawled her fist. 'As if parading around with his girlfriend wasn't enough he still has the guts t
THEME: An Arranged marriage ~♡SHE'S MY WIFE!♡~ Leonardo Vincento. "Go change you're coming with me to tomorrow's event and it's the dress you're putting on for the event". Leonardo said before moving away to where he had sat down and Camilla's eyes widened. 'Waits like seriously? did I hear him correctly ?He is taking me and not Diane?'. Camila thought within herself as she went back to take off the outfit. Then she wrapped it back into the box. When she got out of the room and met Leonardo still sitting where he sat reading, she took just a few steps towards him. "The theme color for the event is blue right?". Camila asked and Leonardo nodded, not taking his eyes off the book he's reading. "But you got me white". Camilla added and Leonardo glanced at her finally. "I know". He said before returning back to his reading. "Oh". Was the only thing Camila could mutter, then she turned to leave the study. "The main celebration is in the evening so I'll come pick
THEME: An Arranged marriage ~♡I'M IN!♡~ Leonardo Vincento. "Any more hate speeches directed at her will cost each and every one of you all your jobs!". Leonardo said and everyone immediately kept quiet not wanting to fall victim of his threat. 'I thought he didn't hear them'. Camila said within herself as she stared lustfully at Leonardo who was ready to devour anyone on her behalf. And that was when Maria approached Leonardo and Camilla. "Good morning sir". Maria greeted bowing slightly. "What took you so long?". Leonardo asked her. "The chairman needed my help in setting up the conference room… "Fire that blondy over there and take Camila to my office". Leonardo said pointing at the particular staff who made the last statement and her eyes widened in shock while Leonardo walked away towards the private elevator then he boarded it. The elevator closed immediately taking him to the fifteenth floor where the various meetings would take place.Camila Vince
~♡REPLACEMENT♡~ Camila Vincento. Camila had waited for Leonardo for an hour now and she suddenly became very hungry. Being the foodie she was, she stood up from the chair she sat on and went out of the office. She found Maria's space beside Leonardo's office empty and wondered where she went. "She might have also left for the conference meeting". Camila thought as she walked past Maria's desk. 'Where's the cafeteria?'. Camila thought as she walked round the area. "Good day ma'am". A worker greeted and Camila nodded slowly though she wasn't too surprised. Then she kept walking round the company in circles. "If you were going to roam around like a kid I shouldn't have brought you along". Leonardo said sternly from behind and Camila was turned to face him. Shocking Leonardo she flashed him a huge smile, but her stomach soon betrayed as it rumbled and she bit her lower lip in embarrassment. "Let's go". Leonardo said and turned as he began walking away while Camila in excitement fol
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
