Maya smiled as she watched Jason dress up the twins for the event of the day. Zoey was wearing a cute pink party dress with a white bow headband around her head, and Bryan was dressed in a cute blue denim suit, comprising of a white tee, denim jacket and jeans. The twins looked cute and adorable.It was their first birthday and they could walk already, albeit slowly and with a little aid here and there.Jayden's friends and kids from the school were invited to the birthday party. Jason being the most sought-after billionaire in the city made it even more glamorous as every parent wants to be in attendance with their kids.Liam also turned a year old and he was celebrating his birthday with the twins. He was dressed in a cute blue denim, he was wearing the same outfit as Bryan. They were looking just like triplets. "They look so adorable, I can't believe my cute little munchkins just turned a year old" Maya finally said after standing and watching Jason dress them up for a while.Jaso

Camilla's PovI glared at my son in the sick bay and tears welled up in my eyes, to think that my husband whom I sacrificed everything for, endured everything for wasn't worth it after all. He could hate me but why hate his son, his blood?I glared at Zion, who was no longer unconscious but the doctor insisted on keeping an eye on him for some time before he discharged him, I cleaned my tears and made the best decision of my life, something I should have done years ago. Yes, I have been selfish for not considering my children's safety all these years, I have been weak and vulnerable but not anymore!I have usually not been this weak, I used to be one of the strongest women I know, but not until I fell in love with David and we got married. He abused me to the point I lost myself, I couldn't recognize myself whenever I looked in the mirror. I was a shadow of myself. As I stood up to leave Maya's office, I was grateful that our paths crossed, I blessed the day she walked into my house

Camilla's PovI thought about letting my kids see a therapist, probably when they are well settled, I knew that those experiences they had witnessed must have traumatized them or maybe not but I wanted them to see a therapist regardless, my Mom suggested it and I think that's a good idea. Zion was discharged a week ago and he was back home. I was so happy that nothing happened to him because if something had happened to him, I wouldn't have forgiven myself.It was their first day in their new school and also my first day at work, I was returning to work after what felt like ages, I loved my job and I could remember crying so hard when David asked me to resign. Nothing beats having a mind of your own. I had made a mental note to accept my Mom's request to come over to stay with us for some time. I know she misses me and the kids, it's been three years since I last saw my Mom.I boarded a taxi and we drove off to the kid's new school. After I was done registering them, I bid them good

Camilla's PovI had collected the divorce papers from Catherine and waited until the weekend to present them to David. Catherine insisted that I go with a police officer just in case, I told her it wasn't necessary but my Mom and Catherine insisted so I was left with no choice, I know they fear that David might want to harm me like usual but what they fail to understand is that I'm no longer the Camilla they used to know.My Mom had arrived a day before the day I had planned to visit David. The kids were all over her, one would think for a second that they had forgotten they had a mother. They were excited to have her around. "Mommy, Are you going somewhere?" Zion asked as soon as I entered the living room which made Jasmine and Athena turn and face me.I nodded and smiled at them "Yes baby, Mommy wants to step out to handle some adult stuff. Please you guys should not stress Grandma while I'm away" I said and gave them a serious look."Okay Mommy" they chorused.Rosalie smiled and

David's PovI didn't expect Camilla to show up like that at my doorstep and to crown it all she had the guts to present a divorce paper to me.She made the biggest mistake of her life when she decided to marry me, I never thought my revenge was going to come so quickly, she fell stupidly into my plans.I had vowed on that altar to make her pay dearly for her father's mistake. Since her father died before I could get my revenge, I decided to make his darling daughter pay.Her father was the judge who sentenced my father to life imprisonment over something we weren't even sure he did, I remember my Mom pleading with him to let my father go, that he was innocent or maybe not. His offense was not letting my father go, for letting my father die in prison.I was just thirteen years old when this happened and since that day I vowed to make him pay no matter how long it took.Then came his beautiful daughter, who was obviously love-starved, I showered her with love and it didn't take long be

Camilla's PovI left David's house and it felt like something was lifted off my chest, I felt fulfilled. I've never been so defensive around him before, I never argued or talked back at him, and that was why he abused me all these years because he thought I was weak, or maybe I was but not anymore. I don't know why David hates me this much, he was never like this while we were dating, he was caring and lovable, but all of this changed after we got married. He became a beast overnight, I couldn't recognize the man I married anymore. Maybe I shouldn't have married him, maybe I should have listened to my Mom when she warned me about him.I waved the thoughts away and focused my gaze on the road. I need to stop beating myself up for now over what has happened.I need to focus on getting custody of my children, something in me tells me that David wasn't going to sign the divorce papers or allow me to have custody of the children so easily. He obviously doesn't care about them but he kno

Camilla's POVIt's been a week since I visited David's house and I was yet to hear from him about the divorce. My Life has been peaceful since I left him and I could see my kids were happier.I had booked a section with the therapist, I wanted them to see a therapist to make sure they were okay and they started with their sections a few days back. "Mom" I called my mother as she was about to leave my room. She has been so supportive of me since I was little, she was everything I wished for in a mother and more, but sadly I wasn't the best daughter to her."Are you okay?" She asked me, I guess she must have seen the look on my face."Do you think I've been a good mother to my kids?" I asked.She took a deep breath and moved closer to where I was seated and held my hands."Of course you are sweetheart. You left David to keep them safe and you did a great job raising them, look how respectful and humble they are" Rosalie retorted, gazing into my eyes."You don't think I neglected them a

Please Be Mine 016 A toast to forever
Camilla's POV I watched Marcus play with the kids from the door, much to his oblivion. He bonded with them so well that the connection between them was undeniable. He always makes time for me and the kids, even though he is always busy with work. Whoever brought out that saying that says a man who loves and cares about you will always make time for you, no matter how busy he is was right. With Marcus, everything felt so real. The kids loved him so much and so do I. Even though I tried to mask those feelings, he had shown them so much care that sometimes it overwhelmed me, it felt so surreal, but I was glad to have him in our lives. He made life meaningful for us. He made us feel safe around him. After Marcus told me the reason his wife left him, I felt so bad for him, he found out he couldn't get a woman pregnant two years after he got married. He discussed it with his wife and she promised to be there for him but she eventually left him a year after which left him broken. I know ho

Camilla's POVIt's been four months since the court case ended, and as expected I won. I could remember vividly, the look on David's face when Catherine played the recording, the look of disgust on everyone present on that day was undeniable.People cursed him for being a pathetic husband and father, all in the name of vengeance, which has eaten deep into him and made him forget about humanity.He signed the divorce papers and I also got a restraining order on him, for the threats he lashed out at me on the recording, he was advised to stay far away from me and the kids or face the law if he decides to do anything stupid again to hurt us.Two weeks after the court case, I heard he left town and has not returned since then.I was at peace with myself as well, knowing my Father wasn't guilty of what David accused him of or what he believed my father did to his family.David's father had gone for a dirty operation, which didn't go as planned and he ended up killing a whole family just to
Please Be Mine 014 The guy at the club
Camilla's POVAll I just wanted was to divorce his sorry ass and move on with my kids without making a fuss, even when everyone thought otherwise.I just wanted my sanity and my life back. But, since David wants to play dirty with me, I'm going to show him that two can actually play this game. Now that I think about it, I play good comeback games."Meet him in court then" were my last words to Catherine and I meant it, I mean, why not? I have what it takes now to reduce him to nothing, in front of everyone, and make everyone see him for who he truly is.People might think he's one caring father who couldn't bear the thought of staying away from his kids, hence the reason he's fighting for custody. However that wasn't the case here, he never cared for those kids, he never showed them love and now he wants custody just to spite me. I can't believe that I once loved someone as scheming as David.I'm sure he doesn't have an inkling of what's coming for him, his greatest mistake was abduct
Please Be Mine 013 I need Closure
Camilla's POV I got home and cracked the door open. "Mommy is back" Jasmine chimed and ran happily to hug me. I smiled and went down on my haunches and carried her, enveloping her in a warm hug. Zion ran towards me, followed by Athena. Who frowned and pouted her mouth. "Is my turn to hug Mommy" she chimed in, pouting and opening her arms for me to see. I smiled, carried Jasmine down, and gave them a group hug instead. "Mommy, why do you have to spend the night at Aunt Serena's house?" Zion asked as soon as we broke the hug. "Grandma said it's because of work," Athena replied. "Right baby, Mommy had a lot of work and we didn't finish on time, so I decided to sleep over. You guys missed Mommy right?" I asked, my face beaming with smiles. "Yes, Mommy we did" they chorused. "Of course they did, they wouldn't even let me rest since morning, they've been asking about you," Rosalie said as she walked into the living room, a surge of smile plastered on her face. I smiled and cares
Please Be Mine 012 Worried
Rosalie's POVI was seated on the couch when Camilla told me she was going to the mall and she would be back soon, she seemed happy, I was more than glad she was, I just wanted my daughter to be happy again.Camilla used to be a happy girl while growing up, her father loved her dearly, and she had always made us proud, coming out of college with good grades.Her father passed on later, it was a very difficult time for us but we eventually found the courage to face life again. Camilla inspired me so much and all I did, I did for her. Not until she came home one day and told me she met someone, I was so happy that she had someone in her life, her emotions were all over the place about this guy. Months later, she got engaged. Honestly, I wasn't happy about how fast everything was moving but my daughter was so damn happy "Camilla" I called, a few days after her engagement."Yes Mom" she answered, her face beaming with smiles, I could see how happy she was."Are you sure about settling d

David's Pov"Fuck!! How did I let this happen, how could she escape right under my nose? Gosh! I shouldn't have brought her here, maybe if she didn't know her way around the house she wouldn't have escaped, what was I thinking? I should have been more careful" I lamented, clenching my fist hard."Ooouch" I groaned in pain as I struggled to stand on my feet. I walked slowly to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. I needed to be calm to think about what to do next. I gulped down the whole content of the bottle and slowly walked to the living room and sat down on one of the couches."That nitwit had the guts to hit me, and of all places, my freaking balls!" I let out vehemently. I was about reducing her to nothing, I was about reminding her of who she will ever be regardless of how hard she tries not to be that person. She was just some piece of trash that will always be at my mercy.I honestly thought I had this planned out, not until she escaped. I've trailed her for some days now. I
Please Be Mine 010 Escaped
Camilla's Pov"Camilla, Camilla, Camilla" I heard Serena calling my name in panic, that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out again.I groaned as I opened my eyes, I was lying down on a bed and was properly covered with a blanket, it was morning already. "Oouch" I winced in pain as the event of yesterday flooded into my head.I remember how I took off as fast as my legs could carry me, I didn't bother to look back, I knew David was going to have my head if he happened to catch me after I tried to run away.Thankfully, I have been to Serena's place twice and I still remembered her address, I ran out of David's house and boarded a taxi, which brought me to Serena's house.I was lost in my reverie when the door suddenly cracked open and Serena walked in with a cup of coffee and hurriedly joined me on the bed."Thank goodness, you're awake" She muttered and pulled me into a warm hug."I was so scared when you fainted last night," she said as soon as we broke the hug. "Here, th

I opened my eyes slowly, trying to adjust my eyes to the light in the room, I groaned in pain, scanning the room.The events of what happened earlier came flooding into my head, David had abducted me, I knew it, that crazy man was up to no good after all.It dawned on me that I was in the guest room at David's house, I used to live here so I recognized where I was instantly, my hands were tied to the back of a chair. I struggled to untie myself but I couldn't. I tried harder and the rope began to loosen by itself, I dragged out one of my hands while the other was still tied up in the rope.I knew David was going to be here anything soon, I needed to act fast before he comes. I slid my hand into my back pocket and found my phone, thankfully he didn't collect it.I wanted to call my Mom for help but at the same time, I didn't want to put her in harm's way. It was almost evening and I knew she was going to be worried sick.I texted her that I would be sleeping over at Serena's place fo
Please Be Mine 08 Strange
I woke up the next day with a migraine from the hangover. I dragged myself out of bed and entered the bathroom for a quick shower. Thank goodness it was the weekend, otherwise, I would have gone to work with a headache. I changed into something casual and headed downstairs to make breakfast before Zion and his siblings wakes up. I was almost done with making breakfast when Athena walked into the kitchen. "Good morning Mommy" she greeted, trying to rub the sleep off her eyes. "And how is my sunshine doing this morning?" I asked with a smile plastered on my face. "Great Mommy" She replied. "What are you making for breakfast Mommy?" Jasmine asked happily as soon as she entered the kitchen whilst walking up to me for a hug. That was something she does whenever she wakes up from sleep. She would hug my legs with her tiny hands or open her arms for a hug, I always find it cute whenever she does that. "Mommy is making macaroni and cheese, now, you both go upstairs and freshen up, t
