As soon as we got home, I rushed out of the car not caring to look back at Fanscho. I was still in shock, I guess I'll always be. He loves me? Henry loves me? He overlooked my status and loved me? He has no girlfriend? I was so shocked as I fell to the sofa. Henry is back and he loves me? When did he realize that? If he…if he loves me then…why didn't he call."He called but dad picked" I remembered his words and I scowled. How could dad have picked my call without telling me?"I love you Camila. You caged me down" I remembered his words and I smiled sheepishly. Cleaning the tear that ran down my eyes, I smiled wider. Henry loves me... Do I love him too? Well, I'm sure what I feel for this boy is different but is it love? I really don't know but… I sure like his company.I chuckled as I thought I trailed my fingers on my lips, we kissed. And I…I kissed him again. That means…that means I love him, doesn't it? I chuckled as I felt my face. Despite the bruises, he still kissed my face, he
CAMILA "Happy birthday Camila" I smiled at myself before I blew off the candle. What a great day to celebrate my 18th birthday, dad isn't even around and he didn't bother to call. I guess he is mad but I won't call him. Never, he should be the one calling me.I sighed as I ate the piece of cake, the small handy cake in the house. How do I celebrate? I thought to myself. Yeah, the Governor gave some money. I…I can just take myself out.I smiled at the idea before rushing to the bathroom. As soon as I was out, I recoiled when I saw the figure.I held the towel to myself as my eyes threatened to pop out of their sockets. Henry? What…what's he doing in my room."Camila…" he smiled as he walked to me. I shook my head as I moved back.I was confused, how…how did he enter the room? I locked it…didn't I? And…what's he doing in my room? I looked down at myself and the towel was stopping just right on my thighs. No!"Camila…" he stopped a few meters from me and I swallowed the lump forming in
My lips formed into a thin line as I held on to Henry happily. I'm excited, he came on my birthday. I looked over at him and he furrowed his brows."Nothing" I shook my head turning to the window. The streets were very beautiful and I smiled as the car sped off to Henry's apartment. Remembering the bag he brought, I couldn't help but blush. The first item in it was a beautiful painting, and then he gifted me a necklace. I didn't bother to check others because I wanted to be in his house badly. I loved it the first time."What are you so engrossed in?" He kissed my neck and I shuddered. Grabbing my waist, he pulled me to himself and I turned to him. "Henry…dri…Fanscho is here" I whispered and he chuckled. "Fanscho wouldn't mind" he kissed my cheeks and my eyes went shut. My lids hugged to themselves as I enjoyed the feeling of his hands. When I didn't feel anything, I opened my eyes and he was staring intently at me."Why do I feel like I've known you for years?" He chuckled, plant
HENRY "Common put me down" she giggled as I carried her, taking the way to my room."Hen…ry" she gasped when I bent to kiss her. "We're going to fall" she held onto me tighter and I couldn't help but laugh. Now, she looks like a child. The door to my room opened and gently, I placed her down."Hmmm, we're back here" she exhaled walking to the sofa in the room."Do you like it here?" I asked and she nodded, her happiness sending waves of heat to me.I chuckled sitting beside her and I couldn't help but get lost as I stared at her. She was glancing around with her usual timid look. She paused on seeing the portrait of mum and my younger sister. Slowly, she stood up walking to the portrait.She trailed her fingers on the portrait as I stared at her. "Who's she?" She whipped her head at me and I sighed."My mum, and younger sister" I answered and her eyes widened."You have a younger sister?" She questioned and I nodded as I walked to her."I had. She's dead" she blinked rapidly as I
CHLOEI didn't know what to feel as Braden fed me the food until we were done. I still found it surprising he fed me, not even after what he did yesterday. Why did he suddenly go warm? Should I ask him? I exhaled as I mustered up courage."Why…why did you feed me?" I asked quietly and he looked up. He stared at me for a while before smiling."Remember on your 17th birthday? Your wish?" He asked and I nodded. Yeah, I still remember I told him to give me a gift and I said he should feed me but he didn't.He walked over to me and he stopped as soon as he was staring directly into my eyes."I fulfilled your wish" he caressed my cheek and I swear my heart skipped. Braden is caressing my cheeks willingly? He gave me a warm smile and it made…it made my heart function, the rate of pumping blood increased and I felt shy immediately. I really couldn't believe he fulfilled my 17th year wish when I'm almost 18."Since I won't be around on your 18th birthday."What? I looked up instantly, what doe
CAMILA Excitement, happiness, joy all surged through me as I rested in Henry's arms. I slept off for a while because of his wonderful touch and I can say, this is the best way to celebrate a birthday, in the arms of someone you love."Awake?" He kissed my hair and I nodded. He traced kisses from my ear down to my collar bone and that alone was driving me crazy. "Tell me, who else knew about your birthday?" He questioned, his lips not leaving my neck."Huh? I don't understand" I whipped to him and he exhaled."I thought none of the students knew.""Yes? Of course" I furrowed my brows trying to understand what he meant."Clinton…he called" he gave me the phone and I grabbed it immediately."You picked?" I asked wide-eyed and he nodded. "Why'd you do that?" I almost screamed as I stood up. He stared at me weirdly for a while."Why? You don't want him to know?""Of course, he shouldn't mis…" I trailed off realizing what I was saying. Staring at Henry, I could see the hurt and doubt in h
He seemed surprised by my request and slowly, he nodded. He released me moving back and I got out of the water.I didn't know what to feel, isn't it way too fast? Yeah, I think it is. Getting out of the water, I could feel his gaze on me and I scoffed internally. I rushed away from the pool and he got out immediately."Camila…" he called after me but I turned a deaf ear as I glanced around for the way. Goodness, why does this place have to be so big? He caught up with me almost immediately."Camila…I'm…" I cut him off when I jerked out of his hands."C'mon please, I'm sorry" he yelled as I got the way. I ran towards his room instantly, my breath stuck at my neck. When…he was talking, I wanted more. I wanted more of his touch…more of his words. And I bet I'm crazy, we shouldn't be that fast. But no, the desires in me were burning and I bet I wouldn't be able to quench them. I opened the door to his room breathing heavily. Goodness, I desire him so much. Water was dripping down from my
I shut my eyes tighter when I felt his tip at my entrance. I couldn't believe I'm really doing this."Gently…" I found myself saying and he paused."Look at me" I opened my eyes slowly to see his eyes staring affectionately at me. "I won't hurt you" he kissed my entrance and I moaned out."Protection" I screamed wide-eyed when I realized it. He stared at me for a while before glancing around the room."No Camila, I want to go raw with you" he sucked on my entrance and I held my breath before moaning."My name" he mumbled with a sly smile and almost immediately, he thrusted in. I felt myself widen as he tried gaining entrance into me, slowly. I couldn't believe we were having sex-without protection.My eyes became watery as I stretched to accommodate all of him."Are you okay?" He kissed my hand and I nodded at his question."Should I go further in?" He asked and my eyes widened."You're…you're not all in?" I whimpered when he dipped in again and slowly, a tear found its way down my ey
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
