The smile on Jayden's cute face was contagious as Jason couldn't get his eyes off him, he smiled so much like him, he was his replica. Indeed blood is thicker than water."Is Mommy going to come with us? "Jayden asked turning to face his father, Jason stuttered a bit not knowing what to say, he didn't want to get his hopes high as Maya didn't seem to want him around, She mentioned earlier that he was only allowed to stick around her house just for Jayden's sake and he couldn't possibly ask her to follow them as that might be overstepping his boundaries. He was about to reply to Jayden when Maya's voice interrupted him"No baby, Mommy has to be in the office for an important meeting, D

"You?"Maya uttered with a growl as she quickly recognized her, she was the lady she saw at Jason's office."What the hell is she doing here?"Maya seethed in anger. It was bad enough she walked in on them almost making out, and now she had the audacity to step her feet into her office, she was surprised on the scene she thought she had walked into as that was typical Jason and his numerous flirts, it was something normal as he clearly hasn't changed, she felt strange as there was something off about the girl, the way she carried herself with an air of superiority as she paced up and down without saying a word.Maya gazed at her without saying a word equally. There was awkward silence, she moved around the office as she finally sat down.

His words softened Maya's heart, and she could sense the sincerity in his voice. She tried to move closer to him, but something held her back.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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
