I entered the house falling to the couch tiredly, did they really have to discard of me? I took them as my friends already. I sighed untying my hair. I guess I'm always unlucky when it comes to friendships but... I shrugged the thought of with a sigh, I need to rest. I heeded to my room then showered before falling asleep.

It was night time already when I woke up, I took a refrigerated food using that as my supper. My phone rang and I smiled on seeing it's dad. "Dad?" I called smiling. He switched the call to facetime and I giggled on seeing his face.

"Camila?" He called the smile lurking on his lips. "I miss you" he mumbled and I laughed.

"I miss you too" I mumbled. The pain of not having him here is stinging my heart, I mean if he's here, it'd have been better. I miss him very much. And I have a lot to talk about.

"Are you okay Camila?" He asked and I looked up instantly.

"Hmm?" I gasped lightly.

"You're crying Camila" he muttered and that's when I felt the tears on my cheek.

    At lunch break, I walked gently to Ava and Anna."Hi" I waved calmly but she only scoffed."I'm sorry for lying, I just didn't want to tell you I fainted" I said calmly."Whatever Camila, I don't want you with us" Ava stated meanly."But.. but why?" I stuttered."Nothing Camila and I want you to stay away from us. Far from us" she said before walking away."Sorry" Anna mumbled before following her.Goodness, I shut my eyes falling to a chair, this is very bad. Some students were staring at me but I didn't care. I should check my phone maybe the teacher added me to the group, but hell no, I haven't been added. Goodness, what's taking so long? I didn't have appetite so I brought out my phone to check the internet. As I scrolled, I saw Henry's video. Wow, he wore a shirt in it, just a 30 second video but it's dope. I tapped the saving icon to save it on my phone. He's very beautiful no wonder girls love him. But why did Chloe warn me to stay away from him? Does she love her brother now?

    CAMILAIt's Saturday morning and I'm very excited, dad will come back today. I did my business then cleaned and arranged my room. I read for few minutes, the geometry isn't helping at all. My thought went to Anna and Ava, they're really serious, they didn't talk to me. Well, it's not bad. Chloe only attends classes whenever she feels like and I love it, at least no trouble for me. The door bell rang and my eyes widened. Dad's back! I stood up immediately rushing out of my room. "Dad?" I called as I opened the door but stopped on seeing him, with a woman."Camila" he mumbled as I stared from him to the woman. Is she the maid?"Camila" dad smiled ruffling my hair. "Meet Mary, your home caretaker" he said.Goodness, I swallowed hard as I stared at the woman, she looks creepy a little bit."Hi Mary" I mumbled walking to the sofa while dad walked in with the woman."I don't need her anymore" I mumbled to dad's hearing."Camila.." he called in a warning tone."I don't want her" I said again

    What? I asked perplexed. "What do you mean?" I asked standing up."The school doesn't offer scholarships" he said again."Wh.. What? I entered through a scholarship programme, I did" I told him and he chortled."No Camila, maybe there's a benefactor that doesn't want you to know about it" he said and I shook my head."No Clinton, I took the exam" I said firmly. He chortled holding my head."Probably the person wanted to test you" he said. I blinked rapidly completely drowned in my confusion. I swallowed hard in deep thoughts, the school doesn't offer scholarships programme? I fucking saw the flyer, didn't I? I shook my head again, "you're wrong Clinton, maybe you don't know about it" I said calmly. He laughed gently patting my shoulders."The school doesn't" he said firmly. "How can I get added into the school group then?" I asked."I'd tell her you changed your digits okay? Drop your digits here" he said handing his phone to me. I took it gently still in deep thoughts. "Here" I mut

    HENRYI stared at her as she walked slowly towards me, she's clad in a high waist trouser and a crop top, her belly isn't exposed. Her hair is packed in a messy bun which makes her look very beautiful. In the class when Chloe tore her sketchpad, I was watching, I wanted her to stand up for herself, I wanted her to stop her but she didn't do anything, probably scared of her. I know I should have intervened but I have other plans. Of course, I'd get her punished, I'd get Chloe punished."Hiiiiii" she called looking down more like bowing."Sit" I told her looking down at the space beside me. She looked up instantly, staring from me to the seat."I'm.. I'm okay... here, you.. you called.. for me" she stuttered playing with her hands. What? Is she shy? She talked freely with me the other day."Are you shy now Camila?" I asked with a chortle. She exhaled before swallowing hard and slowly she walked towards me, sitting on the chair, trying her best not to be too close to me."Remember this p

    CAMILAI walked into the house, my breath stuck at my neck. Exhaling, I fell sloppily to the chair. Goodness, I wasn't in my right senses, of course, how.. how could I have hugged him? He.. he didn't do anything, maybe he isn't mad. I shut my eyes sniffing my top, oh my gosh, I still smell of him. I could still perceive the smell of his cologne, and probably his scent because I could still smell a coconut like scent. Goodness, how can he smell so good. No wonder girls love him a lot. Who wouldn't huh? I smiled standing up, he didn't push me away and.. he even said he'd get me drawing materials. God, I rushed to my room happily but got saddened remembering my sketchpad is torn now. I'd have to start drawing again. But it's okay, I have pictures of my drawings on phone. So, it's no problem. I sat on the bed sadly, life is very hard huh? And unfair. I paused remembering Clinton said the school doesn't offer scholarships but... yes, I collected documents right. I hurried to my drawer brin

    CAMILAI fidgeted as I walked to the lawn, some students were around the call kissing, doing all kind of things but I ignored them. I paused on seeing Henry and he was staring intently at me as I walked towards me."Hiii" I muttered looking down, more like bowing. He deserves respect, doesn't he?"For a moment, I thought you got into an accident" he spoke up."Huh?" I glanced around not understanding what he meant."You were walking like a cripple" he cleared my confusion and I exhaled looking away."Sit" he said and I sat on the opposite chair avoiding his gaze."Your equipments are ready" he said and I smiled looking up."Have you ever made a sculpture?" He further asked and I nodded gently, yeah a couple of times I guess. He smiled ruffling his hair. "You were pretty lost in class" he said and I looked up instantly. Huh? "Didn't you understand?" He queried gazing at me."Hmmm" I mumbled and he nodded. "Get the note" he said and I looked up instantly. Huh? "I'd explain to you" he

    HENRYAs I heeded to the dining room, I paused when I heard the yell. I had to listen carefully to be able to understand their indistinct yell. Who's it? I thought walking towards the living room. I paused when I saw Chloe yelling at some guards. They probably aren't allowing her enter."What's it?" I spoke up and that's when they noticed my presence."Seriously Henry? Did you prohibit me from entering your house too?" She asked glaring at me."Yes" I answered bluntly."Arghhh" she yelled pacing around in anger."What do you want?" I asked her and she stopped. She stared from me to the guards. "Excuse us" I said referring to the guards and they bowed before walking away."What do you want?" I asked again and she exhaled."I didn't know you had a stupid plan to restrict me from your home, first you restricted me from entering the school. Why exactly did you do that?" She yelled.I ignored her sitting on the couch."What're you trying to prove huh? Tell me!" She yelled staring at me."

    I tried concentrating during the classes and it did work a little. As soon as class ended, Henry stood up immediately walking out of the class. What? I was determined to ask him questions, I stood up immediately and my phone beeped."Lawn" I read the text and I realized he probably wanted to talk to me too.As I made to leave, I heard my name."Camila" the person called and I turned to see Ava and Anna. Huh? They want to talk to me?"Hi" I said with a small smile."How have you been?" Ava asked staring intently at me. "I see your relationship with Henry got stronger. Right?" She asked with a small smile.I scoffed shutting my eyes, "are you here to talk about that?" I asked them."No, we're just here to make a deal" Anna answered."What deal?" I asked, almost rolling my eyes."Let's talk about it outside" Ava said leading the way. As we walked out of the classroom, my phone beeped again, "How many years will you take?" The message read. Goodness, Henry, he must be waiting."Can we tal

    Anna glanced around in class as she watched the news.So Camila is the Governor's daughter. Wow. She exhaled as she continued watching.So, what will happen to Camila's and Henry's relationship huh? And Chloe, she wondered how she'd feel.She was so engrossed in the state's activities that she didn't know when the person approached her."Hey" the voice jerked her back to reality and she smiled on seeing Clinton.The smile left her face when she saw him stare intently at her."What?" She mumbled under her breath. His look was kind of holding compassion but she better not think far."Camila isn't in school?" He glanced around and she nodded to his question. Does he still want Camila?"Won't she come for exams?" She heard him say under his breath and she almost scoffed."Do you still like her?" She found herself asking. The question made Clinton pause because yes, he still wanted her."No" he lied but it felt like he was telling the truth.Anna gave a discreet smile before turning to him

    Braden stared at Chloe as she slept. They had a good time and he enjoyed every bit of it. He came here to make love to her because when he heard she still wanted Henry, he wanted to go mad. He couldn't believe it but thank goodness, he thought of everything.Chloe was just someone who lacked love and Samantha only influenced her. So, he came with the intention to make things clear. He loves her and she needs to know.She moved closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her in a protective manner.…When Chloe woke up, he was still admiring her. Chloe sat up with a blush as her boobs dangled down.Braden pulled her to him before he exhaled, "I love you."His voice was in a whisper yet it meant so much to Chloe. She pulled away from the hug, her shock evident on her face.He said he loves her? She blinked rapidly as she processed it."You…you" she wanted to say but he stopped her with a kiss."Yes, I love you" he declared once more, a happy smile on his lips."Oh my gosh, oh my gosh"

    CAMILAI sobbed as I curled up on the bed. I tried hugging my tiny self as I reminisced on everything.If Henry is angry then, maybe, he might just end things with me.He…he will tell me to fuck off. A tear ran down my face as I thought of it. No, I can't think of losing Henry.The knock on the door interrupted my thoughts and I dashed to the door immediately.My face sank when I saw it wasn't Henry but my face lit up seeing it's Fanscho."Fanscho…" I subconsciously pulled him into a hug.Damn, I haven't seen him for a long time.He chortled as he patted my back which got me smiling."You're really okay, thank goodness."I pulled away instantly and he laughed, "come with, Henry sent for you.""Henry?" I batted my eyelashes as happiness surged through me, "where's he?""Come with me, I'll take you."…My heartbeat quickened as we took every step towards the garden where Henry was. Fanscho was leading the way and I tentatively walked behind him.Will Henry break up with me? No, why'd he

    CAMILAMy heart thumped loudly inside of me and I glanced at Henry but he only stared unfazed. Isn't he scared or bothered?Well, just now dad said he has to talk to the two of us and…I'm scared.I'm scared he's going to end everything between us. No, I don't want that. I don't want to lose Henry."Stop being a scared pussycat" Henry gave a lopsided smile and I didn't know how but…it made me smile. I know he meant something else. He's being naughty while I'm scared huh? Well of course, he became naughty when he came back.You had to see how many times he had me yesterday."Shut up!" I whispered jokingly but paused when the footsteps approached.Dad is coming."Heyy" he sat down and my heart sank at his sight. I hate having to see his arm this way.I held back my tears as I waited for what he had to say."Camila…" he called with an exhale and Henry scoffed."You know you're my blood now and that's affecting your relationship with Henry."A lone tear ran down my face as he said what I e

    HENRYAnger boiled in me as I stared at them. Why did they even leave me in the hospital? I came here with Mia and just at the doorstep, I heard him talk lovingly to Camila. He loves her that much?Of course, she's his lost daughter. But he has never directed such attention to me. Even while Camila was away, he took Chloe as his daughter and he only treated me less than a son."Answer me!" I ordered and I saw Camila flinch. Her lips trembled and I knew she was scared.No, I wasn't her for that, I shouldn't make her scared ."Why did you leave?" I sauntered towards her and she swallowed trying to maintain eye contact with me."She had…" dad tried speaking but I stopped him."I need you to excuse us" I ordered, anger building in me. He only nodded and he ruffled Camila's hair before walking out.Wow! How much he loves her. Now, I'm forced to think he's not my dad."Why did you leave?" I held Camila's jaw as I stared softly at her."I…I…I…please…just go Henry" she stuttered and I exhaled

    HENRYI woke up with a flicker of pain. My head hurt and my arm hurt. I tried opening my eyes but my lids felt too heavy.I tried rolling on the bed but the pain in my chest made me stay still. I groaned when the pain increased and the events came rushing to my memory.I was shot…I was with Camila . Camila was telling me to hold on but I couldn't. She told me she loved me, she told me to stay alive but my hands slipped off her face.Am I dead? Is that why I can't open my lids?I opened my mouth to speak, maybe someone could tell me where I was, "anyone there?""Henry?" I heard the voice. A familiar voice.I heard footsteps which meant the person was coming towards me. And…that's when my lids opened.I squinted my eyes as the rays hit my eyes and I saw Mia.Mia? I thought it's Camila. I glanced around as I searched for Camila but I only saw Chloe. Where's my love? Charles didn't take her, did he?Mia reached me and immediately, she took my hand, sobbing lightly."You're okay now.""Whe

    CHLOEI grinned as they all stared at me as the only hope they had. I saw the Governor, no ex-Governor glared at me but I didn't care.When Camila left, I thought about it.She said a few words and her explanation seemed quite true but I didn't believe her. But when she talked to dad, I saw the affection he had for her. Even when they wanted to kidnap him, they took her first so it could be true.And then Henry is in the hospital, he needs my own kind of blood. So, I had to use the opportunity to my advantage. I've always wanted Henry or Braden but this morning, Braden didn't care so I could just have Henry.I know we aren't siblings but only dad and I know that. So…I have to keep it away from Camila to get what I want.I don't care if he's my cousin or not."Tell us, what do you want?" Camila asked desperately."Only one thing, before he wakes up, you get out of his life. I want Henry so you have to step back.""Chloe! This isn't the …" Mia tried saying but I raised my hands and she

    CHLOEI got out and I saw her eyes widened."Camila?" Mia ran out and I ran after her."Mia!" We reached her and Mia retreated in her steps when she saw the person."Henry? Henry?" She bent down and I saw tears roll down her eyes. A tear rolled down when I saw him. Henry. He's covered in a pool of blood.How did this happen? I looked over at Camila and saw…her face was plastered and filled with bruises.Did Uncle Charles torture them this much?"Henry?' Mia kept shaking him but his lids didn't even open."How…how did this happen?" Mia stuttered before she stood up. She grabbed Camila angrily. "How did this happen?"She wanted to speak but all that came out was a gasp. She was choking on her tears."Henry?" I took his hands and saw they were pale already.I saw Camila stare intently at me as tears rolled down her face."Where's the Governor?" Mia asked and Camila paused."Dad…dad…he's inside" she rushed towards the left and I ran after her. Wait, why did she call him dad? We got in an

    CHLOE"Chloe!" I heard the voice barge in and I turned to the person immediately."Mia?" I called as my lips quivered."Where…where's Henry? Where's Camila? Where is the Governor? Are…is the news true?" She rushed her words and I scoffed."I don't know…Mia, I don't" I shut my eyes as a tear rolled down. Is it true? Why'd he confess to it? I didn't even know it was…it was uncle Charles.Damn. He finally caught the Governor. A secret we've tried to bury. Yes, we, I knew about it years back and that's why I struck a deal with the Governor. For his secret to remain with me, he has to treat me like his own. Not like I'd rat him out or anything.And he did…"Where…where are the guards?" Mia asked and I looked up."They…they all left.""Goodness " she shut her eyes, pacing around. "Where…where are they? We have to go save them" she mumbled and my eyes widened. What?"What…what, we have no guards.""Where are they?" She yelled and I flinched."Here, the guards tracked their location before t
