CAMILA
"No, that's where I want to go" I yelled frustratedly."And how dare you take the exam without my permission?" He yelled back."Because you'd have never allowed me" I yelled sniffing."Why don't you want me to go?" I asked as a tear slipped down my face."You aren't attending the institution and that's final" he said firmly."I will" I said determinedly."And you can't stop me" I added firmly."Camila!" He sighed falling to the couch.I sniffed going towards him."Why don't you want me to go?" I asked holding his hand."I just don't want it Camila, I don't want you to get involved with the rich students" he said and I smiled taking his hand to my face."It's schooling dad, I'll tackle any challenges dad" I said and he nodded gently."I don't want to lose you Camila" he mumbled with a sigh."You won't dad" I replied leaning down to him giving him a big hug."You're indefatigable" he laughed hugging me tighter.I smiled as another tear slip down, main reason why I love him as my dad. He supports my decision."Get a list of what you need" he said and I nodded pulling away from the hug.I went to my room to get a list of what I wanted."Here dad" I handed it over to him and he nodded."I think I can afford this" he said with a small smile.Well of course, we are a little bit well to do though, a little bit under the middle class."I'd go get my things arranged" I said and he nodded.Glancing around my room, I smiled seeing the admission letter, who knew I could be this lucky, I only tried my luck for the scholarship and I was picked. Well, I can't say I'm very brilliant, I'm just a little bit above average and it's my luck I was chosen. Who I am? I'm Camila Smith, I am about to resume the school owned by the renown Governor. Excitement is an understatement right now because I get to be in same class with the rich students. Talents? I draw, I can literally draw any piece of art. The main thing I'm proud of, I love my talent. Going to my wardrobe, I searched through my clothes wondering if it'd be able to fit in into the school. I hope I don't get to regret my decision because dad will definitely be sad. And I dare not make him sad, he's the only thing I've got. Dad told me I was still a child when mum died so I don't know how she's. He told me he moved away from where they lived so I never got to see her picture. Well, that's not really a valid reason but I trust him enough, there's no reason for him to keep away mum's death from me. Phew! I hung my shirts back into the wardrobe before falling floppily to the bed. Hopefully I don't die of excitement, lol. I chuckled rolling on the bed thinking of what to do. Well, draw since it's what I do best. But a picture of who? Dad. I'll give him as a gift for giving me his permission to attend the institution I longed so much, an institution different from all others since it's owned by the Governor.***HENRY"Dad!!" I yelled frustratedly falling to the couch."I don't want that dad" I said firmly."What do you want, go straight to the point, you know I'm busy" he said and I rolled my eyes."I want to be in Blessed High this session" I said."Please" I added."I want you in the business line Henry, you're almost done" he said.I scoffed throwing the pillow away. As if hearing my grumbling, he laughed."I'd allow you attend if you can manage both together" he said.I rolled my eyes thinking of it."How do I get to go for the exams?" I asked and I could feel his smile."You travel Henry, I want you to take over the companies I own" he said and I nodded."But at least I get to attend Blessed high right?" I asked."Yes" he said and I smiled putting an end to the call.I wonder why he's against the idea of me attending his institution for my programme. The institution takes the programme too but he doesn't want that. Anyway, it's no problem, I should be happy he agreed.Wondering who I am? I am Henry the only child of the Governor. He owns the institution I want to attend and it's a very good institution very different from all others. The programme is continued in the school but I'll only attend for a year more. Well, I can't really say I'm the only child, let's say I'm the only child alive. Mum and my one sibling died years ago though I can't really remember what happened but according to dad, they died in an accident when he was still a random man. The school helped him grow to his current status and I can say it's the best thing to be the Governor's only son. Dad could have had another wife but he didn't though he has a woman not legally his wife but she's his official wife. Age? 18, will be 19 soon. I stood up walking to the mirror gracefully and I smiled staring into the mirror. My face I must say is the most beautiful ever."Sir?" A guard bowed walking in and I turned to him."Amelia is here to see you" he said and I nodded."Bring her in" I ordered and he nodded walking away.Amelia is my current girlfriend and I like her to an extent.Though I know she's your only with me for the fame and money but it's no problem, when I'm done with her, I'd discard of her."Baby" she squealed hugging me from behind."Let go" I ordered and she let go instantly."So, did your dad agree?" She asked and I nodded walking to the couch."Really?" She squealed jumping on me while I chuckled."You're gonna be in the states" she jumped around."I can see you whenever I want" she added with a smile.Her phone rang and she paused."Bring it" I ordered as she held the phone."It's no problem Henry, don't worry" she said about to end the call."Bring it" I ordered and she sighed walking gently to me.I picked the phone and a guy's voice came on. Really?"I want to be inside of you" the voice said and I smirked staring at her.She's fucking someone else? She sweated and I ended the call immediately. I gave a small smile lifting her chin and I said the words."We're done Amelia" I said firmly."No Henry, I..." she stammered scratching her neck."I can't afford to be fucking someone others are fucking" I added and she sniffed."Please Henry" she begged."Bye" I said showing her the way out."Henry..." she called and I exhaled."You wouldn't like it the hard way" I gritted.She swallowed hard taking her bag not without taking a last glance at me. Silly her.CAMILAWalking into the school gently, I glanced around in awe seeing the decorations in the school. It's really a beautiful school. Well what should I expect, it's owned by the Governor after all. I walked towards the principal's office with my map to do the necessary registration.Looking into the map towards my class, I gasped when I bumped into someone."I'm sorry" I apologized immediately."Really?" The person sneered and almost immediately, I felt the push making me fall to the ground weakly."I'm sorry" I mumbled trying to stand up but the grasp on my hair made me fall weakly to the floor."Let go" I whimpered trying to push the hands off but the hand held my hair firmer."Please" I begged whimpered as the person pulled on my hair tighter."On your knees" the person ordered and I realized it's a girl.Why's she telling me to go on my knees?"Let go" I ordered with all courage in me.The person let go and when I thought I was free, I felt the push making me fall flatly to the gr
"What did he mean?" I asked as soon as the teacher got out."You have the same surname as Chloe" she said and my eyes rolled immediately.Smith is the most common surname, silly."And I think you guys look alike a bit" she added and I scoffed."Silly" I mumbled bringing out my sketchpad.What? She gasped immediately snatching the sketchpad."You draw too?" she asked flipping through the pages, her mouth wide open in awe."Who else draws?" I asked."Chloe, she has been winning the award for a while" she cleared my doubt."Ohh" I mouthed nodding."But I think you draw better" she smiled dropping the sketchpad before another teacher walked in.So Chloe draws, but she thinks I draw better. And there's a drawing contest? That definitely means I can contest. Wow, maybe schooling wouldn't be bad here.**HENRY"Don't you ever dare meddle in my business" Chloe yelled as soon as she entered my room.I paused gazing at her."Who gave you the permission to enter my room?" I asked irritated."I d
CAMILA"I'm trying to learn here" I yelled at Ava who wouldn't stop distracting me telling me about events that happen in the school."Well, you should be happy I am talking to you" she smiled taking my book."Allow me to show you around my princess" she squealed and I scoffed in annoyance."No Ava, allow me to read" I ordered with a firm face but she only laughed.Goodness, I'd have to try the library next time."Ava!!" A girl squealed rushing to us but paused seeing me."Ohh, you have a new friend" she mumbled."No, of course not" Ava laughed hugging her."You're my friend, and she's our new friend, come let's show her around" she said and the girl nodded gazing at me."You're pretty" she complimented and I flashed her a smile.**"So, this is the school library" she said pointing at a beautiful building with different paintings on it."Alright" I nodded gazing at it, it's very beautiful even though it's multicolored.We walked for a little while before she gasped pointing at a dire
CAMILAI walked slowly beside Ava still in thought."Heyy" she patted my shoulders and I jerked out of thought."Aren't you excited?" She asked dramatically."Henry is going to be playing, the last time I saw him play was 2 years ago" she squealed jumping up and I chuckled.How often does Henry attends school? Two years ago since she saw him play? Wow!"Are you okay?" She asked holding my arm and I nodded."Of course" I mumbled as Anna ran to us."Ava!!" she exhaled breathing heavily and I chuckled at how dramatic these two can be."Let's hurry" she mumbled as we rushed to the basketball court."Yayy" the cheering sound welcomed me immediately and glancing around, I saw him, my savior. He brushed his hair backwards swallowing and I saw his Adam's apple move. He's hot, I must say. But how old can he be? I'd probably ask Ava later."I want to see clearer" Ava said and Anna took her hand rushing to the front."Go on Henry" I heard people scream. Glancing around, I saw his bodyguards, of c
"Fuck it dad!" I yelled as he spoke into the phone."You're the fucking Governor, just find out those behind this!" I yelled frustrated."My men are working on it" he said and I could sense his frustration. How the men keep getting away with it is what I don't know and I find it disturbing. It's downgrading that he's the Governor and such a thing is happening in his school."Whatever" I mumbled ending the call. This is the fucking fifth time the attack will be happening and according to him, his men haven't been able to do a thing about it, he's probably hiding something."She's awake sir" One of my guards said behind me."Okay" I mumbled turning to the direction of her ward, we're in the hospital, she fainted so they had to resuscitate her back to life. I wonder why she'd risk her life because someone got shot, I just hope she didn't get shot."How's she?" I asked the doctor and he bowed a little."Luckily, the bullet only scraped her arm" he answered and I nodded with a small smile.
CAMILAI scoffed as I got down from the supposed car the school brought. "Thank you" I mumbled as the driver drove away. I could feel the bile at my throat telling me something was off about the school but I'm ignoring that, I'm not letting that affect me. The school is owned by the Governor, so of course, there should be plenty of enemies. I walked gently into the house."Dad?" I called entering the kitchen but scoffed remembering he left. Yeah... he did, this morning. He had to travel, I felt tears burn at the brim of my eyes but I ain't crying. I rushed to my bag to call him but as I rampage through my bag, I couldn't help but fear. I bet my phone isn't here. Shit! I mumbled falling to the sofa. I lost my phone, probably when the attack happened, goodness how do I call him now? I sniffed as the tear finally slipped down, if only dad's here. I wouldn't have told him anyway, I thought taking a drink from the fridge. Goodness, I badly needed this. As I closed my eyes enjoying the flav
CAMILA As I walked into the school with my backpack on my shoulders, I shuddered as students were too much, I bet I'm late. Remembering I haven't talked to dad, I sighed dejectedly, I'm sure he'd be very worried. But it's okay, I'd probably give him a call with Ava's phone."Hey newbie" Someone called, on turning to the direction, I scoffed when I saw the guy. He looked rather unkempt, I'm sure he isn't here for normal classes, he's probably taking one of the business classes."Not a newbie" I mumbled trying to walk past him."Heyy" he held my shoulders and I scoffed."Let go" I ordered and he chuckled moving back."I guess I'd see you around pretty" he gave a malicious grin and I scoffed moving towards the class. Halfway, I paused when I saw the image. "Chloe?" I mumbled. She was ranting some incoherent words pulling a girl on her hair. Who's that? I thought walking closer to them. As I moved, they moved forward too but I was determined to see what she's up to."Hey" I yelled as she
"Chloe!!" I yelled over the phone."I want you at the school hospital right now!" I yelled before ending the call. She knows better than to disobey me.I sat gently on the chair waiting for the girl to be treated on, she has to explain what Chloe did."Boss, there's a call!" Fanscho yelled running to me. I paused on seeing the caller. Dad? I thought."Henry!!" His voice roared over the phone. "You were attacked just yesterday!" He yelled and I sighed."I just wanted to be in school dad" I mumbled."I want you out of there" he yelled over the phone."Dad?" I mumbled."Right now!" He said firmly and I stood up having no choice, for him to have called me, he really wanted me out of here."Get her back to school" I told Fanscho and he nodded before bowing. I sighed walking to her ward, I just wanted to see her. She laid peacefully on the bed, her arm isn't bleeding and gently, I walked away to my car.***CAMILAI woke up slowly, my vision blurry as I glanced around. I caught a glimpse of
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
