Surprisingly, dad was at home when I got in. He saw my face and he shook his head as I walked to him.

"Dad" I whimpered as I hugged him. He was just right for me, he knew I had to talk to him.

"You didn't win, huh?" He asked and I nodded as I embraced him. Well, he did know about the competition…but I didn't tell him whoever wins get to have a dinner with the Governor. I omitted that part.

"It's okay Camila, at least you participated. I know you can draw well, you'll do good someday" he kissed my forehead and I relaxed.

I sniffed as I sat on the sofa and he handed me a cold drink.

"Why're you back today?" I asked as I gulped down my drink.

"You told me about the contest. I knew you wouldn't win…" my eyes widened as he said that.

"You knew I wouldn't win?" I asked wide-eyed. He exhaled trying to shake his head and a tear slipped down my face. He really thought I…I wouldn't win? And me? I really did just as he expected. I sniffed as I cried, everyone thinks lowly of me and maybe I'm jus

    HENRYWith the guards behind me, I walked glamorously towards dad's office. He's in the office and I have to see him. Okay, not him, I have to see the drawings. I heard Camila didn't win, well it's all over the school's group and Chloe's picture is everywhere already. She won. I wonder why Camila didn't win, I'll just ask him."Dad" I called out as my face was scanned and I entered the office. He was with some men which I figured out are detectives. His PA was with him too."Ohh and here is my son" he motioned for me to walk to him and I did. The men stood up and they walked out of the room."Do I have to remind you this is my personal office. You're not allowed in here every time Henry'' he gritted but I wasn't moved."Henry!" He gritted and I looked up. The look of anger on his face was something I couldn't fathom. It was anger and…emotions."What's wrong dad?" I asked calmly and he exhaled."You know your mum loved drawing huh?" He exhaled, bringing out a portrait. "I almost though

    Subconsciously, I wrapped my arms around him, deepening the kiss. I forgot about everything as he kissed my lips, his hands caressing my face."Stop it Camila, you're kissing the Governor's son" they voice in my head told me but I didn't stop. We kept kissing and I was sure, he was very into it. He kept cocking my head trying to kiss every inch of my mouth."He has a fucking girlfriend" my mind told me and I pulled away instantly. I got out his grip, wiping my lips. What just happened? We kissed? Why will I do such a thing?"Shit" he cussed ruffling his hair and I looked down, biting on my lips."I… I am sorry Camila" he exhaled pacing around. Is he in regret? Of course he should be, he has a girlfriend. "Camila?" He called trying to touch me when I moved away. His hand stopped midair as he stared at me. I could see the look of guilt on his face, the scared look too, like he just committed a sacrilege.A lone tear found it's way out of my eyes when I picked at my heels. I knew nowhe

    CAMILAIt's a new week and as I stood in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but get scared. Will I be bullied? Chloe will mock me I'm sure of it. Will anyone save me? No, I'm sure no one will, even Henry. He hasn't even called me, he didn't bother to call me. I bit on my lip as I sat on the table. Should I just skip school? No, they're going to call me weak. I'll be weak in front of them. "You can do this Camila, it was a contest and besides the Governor rewarded you" I told myself.Yeah, but who's going to believe that? And…I could have just taken a picture as a proof. Goodness, I'm so foolish. Now what? I better not tell anyone the Governor sent for me because it's going to add to my humiliation."I'll just face whatever they have to say" I thought firmly. Carrying my backpack, I walked out of my room to see dad. He looked up but scoffed as soon as he saw me."I said you aren't attending that school."I ignored him as I sat at the diner, stuffing the bread in my mouth. He doesn't

    CAMILAI kept staring at my phone waiting for a call. A message or just anything from him. I needed him. I want his assurance. I want him to talk to me. I want him to talk to me about the kiss, it was memorable to me. I took my hands to my lip, rubbing it gently. I loved the feeling of his lips on mine. His hands on my face, the desire in his eyes.Why aren't you calling me Henry? Should I call him? I reminisced about it before shaking my head."No, he's the one who stole my first kiss, he should call me" I told myself. My phone rang and I paused, seeing it's a new number. Who's it? Is it Henry? I picked the call anyway."Hi pretty" the voice of Jack came up and I rolled my eyes."Camila" I helped him out and he chuckled. "Why haven't you been around?" I asked and he exhaled."My parents got a divorce. I tried sorting things out.""Ohh. I'm sorry about that" I mumbled and he chuckled."It's fine. So, tell me what are you up to? Should I come take you out?" What? Hell no. Of course no

    CHLOE"I so much like this" Samantha squealed as she fucked herself. Or should I say the dildo. I shook my head grabbing the phone."How're you?" I texted Braden but he didn't reply. I placed my phone on the table to see Samantha done. She collapsed heavily on the bed. Pathetic."God, I love the fact that he banned me from the school" she smiled and I scoffed. Why's she happy? Doesn't she care about her education? I should be the one not caring about my education."OMG" Cassy squealed as she entered but she stopped on seeing Samantha. She rolled her eyes taking off her shoes."I think Jack likes me" she blurted out and I turned to her."Not Camila?" She exhaled before walking to me and gently, she sat beside me."I don't know, I don't think he likes that girl. She stays to herself now" she told me and I smiled.I haven't bullied Camila in a while because of Jack. No, not because I'm scared but I don't want it to get to Henry. Henry will be enraged. But if Jack likes Cassy, she can he

    CHLOEMy phone rang and I was surprised to see it's Braden. I picked the phone call with a smile."I want you in my house" he ended the call before I could speak. For a moment, I was dumbfounded. He wants me in his house? Does he want to fuck? Or he misses me that bad? I blushed faintly as I rushed to my room.I'll be there baby.…I stood in front of the gate and soon, the guard opened the gate."In his room" he told me and I nodded. When I entered the house, I glanced around to see the familiar stairs. Goodness, it's been a long time I came here. I took the stairs with a smile. I really can't believe Braden called for me in his room. What a good day for me.I entered the room and there he was pacing around. Immediately I entered, he rushed to the door locking it.I was surprised as he locked the door before I felt the pull on my hair."Braden?" I whimpered holding on to his hand.

    "I'm sorry you had to go through this" he apologized and I nodded. He pulled away and what followed was surprising. He lifted me off the floor to the table in his room."Henry?" I stuttered as he stood between my legs. He pulled me closer still hugging me and I felt my whole body tense up as his breath fanned my neck.He pulled away as he stared at me, "why didn't you call back?""Huh? Ca…call?" I stuttered confused."I called you Camila and your dad picked " he told me and my eyes widened. Dad picked my calls without telling me? And he didn't bother to tell me? And…he deleted the call log?"I…he didn't tell…me about it" I looked away and he turned me to him. Feeling him stare at me made me want to vanish. What's going on in his head, huh?"Your dad doesn't want us to be together?" He asked and I jerked away from his grip. Us? Together? Is there an us? I got down from the bed regaining my senses and he stared at me surprised."What's wrong Camila?" He asked but I shook my head as I lo

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?

    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
