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 Vincento

Left 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 63Leonardo VincentoNathan walked towards Leonardo and brought out a tablet, he adjusted his spectacles and spoke. “The lady's name is Olivia Russell, twenty three years of age, rising model and–”“That'll be enough.” Leonardo cut into Nathan's sentence before facing Dave. “Does this ring a bell? What was Olivia Russell doing in your office?”Dave's mouth began to quiver and his heart slammed nervously against his chest. How will he possibly expose the fact that Olivia was coming here to help him ruin Leonardo if he says that, his plan will be crumpled to ashes. “I.. she's just a friend.”“A friend stripped you of your clothe and left you lying on the floor?” Leonardo arched a brow and settled into his chair. “This is your last chance Dave, if you don't tell me the truth your matter will be reported to the chairman and you know what'll happen if he hears about this.” Beads of sweat began to form on Dave's forehead. The chairman was way worse compared to Leonardo, if he hears

    CHAPTER 64DaveDave was in a total mess while leaving Leonardo's office. His fingers vigorously fidgeted with themselves and large beads of sweat ran down his forehead. Leonardo already knows that Olivia was the lady.. if he comes to know why Olivia was actually here, he may do something worse than just getting him fired.Dave suddenly took in a deep breath to calm his racing heart. He doesn't give a damn if he gets fired, but he needs to stayed hired in order to be at a close range. If he gets fired the chances of his plan succeeding will be blink. Talking about plans.. it didn't seem like things with Olivia would work out, that nutcase is worse than Diane Dean! If she continues helping him, he'll surely get caught, forget the free s*x, revenge is of way more importance to him.Walking out of the building, Dave quickly hauled a cab and soon went off. After 20 to 30 minutes, he arrived at his house, the place he despises the most. Dave gazed up at the building which could be barely i

It's just a toy gun.” Dave, confused, looked at the gun properly and finally realised that it was made out of plastic.Mrs Louis’ hands flew to her mouth. “You would have killed us.. if it was a real gun.. I loved and took care of you but you would have actually killed us, what kind of a son are you!”Dave angrily sneered. “That's because I'm not your son! Stop calling me your fvcking son! You stole me from my family!”Mrs Louis bursted into tears. “I didn't steal you from your family Dave, you were born out of wedlock and I had to take you with me.”“That’s my point! Why did you take me with you? Why didn't you leave me with my real mother?!”“That's because I'm your real mother Dave! I'm your real mother.” Her last sentence came out as a whisper and Davis creased his brows. “Mon?

The ear piercing noise immediately attracted the attention of Mrs Russell and the she came rushing into the room like a crazed person. “O-Olivia? Is there a problem dear? I heard something brea–”Olivia angrily sneered at her mother. “Just get out of here I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone.”Mrs Russell raised a brow. “Did something happen Olivia? Is it about your work? But you shouldn't have any problem, Diane Dean is already locked up behind bars.”“Are you trying to say if Diane wasn't locked behind bars, I'd have a problem with my work? Why so? Or do you think that slvt is prettier than your own daughter?”Mrs Russell shook her head taking steps forward in attempt to soothe Olivia but the latter immediately jerked backward with a low hiss.

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.

    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.

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

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.

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.

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?"
