What?

I glanced around not knowing what to say.

"What happened to your cheek, huh?" He questioned again and I decided to feign ignorance.

"My cheek? What…what…happened to it?" I asked again and he exhaled. He grabbed my face to inspect my cheeks and I let him.

"Don't lie to me Camila" he whispered, his breath making my toes curl up.

"I'm…I'm not, I don't know what…what you're saying" I stuttered, my gaze fixed on the floor.

"Did I really win the contest?" I needed to change the topic.

"Camila" He grabbed my waist closer to himself, very tight that I thought he was angry, but when I looked up, the affection was in his eyes.

"Tell me what happened to your cheek" he whispered but I was determined not to tell him.

"I don't know" I looked away and he let go of me.

Raising my head, I could see hurt and frustration in his eyes, was that from me?

"I know you're lying. I know. When I first asked, you looked away in guilt. What I don't understand is why" his hands moved in his hair frustratedl

    We were both seated in the room more like a blank space. I gently leaned into his chest as we enjoyed the warmth the room gave."Do you like it here or do you want the pool?""I love it here" I whispered. I turned to kiss him and it was like he was ready. Our lips met in a warm kiss that made my toes curl up and the emotions in me rose up.He pulled away caressing my cheeks and I blushed timidly. There was a knock on the door and he stood up to get it.It was the maid, she dropped the wine and glasses on the table. She eyes me before bending to serve it and I knew she wanted to show her body.Her cleavage was exposed and the dress she wore was stopping right under her butts. Henry walked over to me and he pulled me to him."Should I put ice?" She questioned and Henry kissed my ear to bring me back."Do you want ice in it?" He whispered and I nodded gently. My gaze was still fixed on the girl, she was scorning and sneering at intervals."You can leave" Henry told her and she walked to

    "She isn't, she has met him and she wasn't scared" Henry answered and she nodded, her gaze fixed on me."Will you take a shower?" Henry asked as he stared at me and I nodded gently."Alright, come with" "I'll be in the kitchen" Mia screamed walking out.I followed Henry behind timidly and as soon as we entered, he glanced around before turning to me."Shower or bathtub?""Any" I answered and he nodded."The tub will be better" he walked to the bathtub and I followed him. I couldn't believe I've been here, it felt new and fresh to me."Why're you scared, huh?" He chortled as he prepared the bath. He dipped his hands in and he looked satisfied with the result."Get in" he ordered and I felt shy. That means taking off my clothes."Please…will…you leave? I'll do…it myself" I stuttered, not daring to look at him.I didn't hear anything for a while, only for him to scatter my hair.He pulled me to him and he helped me take off my top."Henry…" I puckered my face in reluctance but he didn't

    My toes curled up at his statement and I almost gasped when he took an ice in his mouth.That'll be freaking cold.He dipped the ice in between his teeth and I stared at him surprised. Isn't that too cold? Slowly, he trailed it on my body, the ice melting as he moved up to my face. My whole body shivered at the sensation I got and he had to hold my legs down. "Tell me, will you like it?" He whispered, his lips moving on my body."Henry?" I tried touching him and he moved his head forward."Touch me all you want, huh?" He gave a coy smile kissing my nipples. My whole body went cold when his cold lips met with my nipples. They stood perky, staring at him."Fuck, they're so full" he whispered and I shut my eyes. The way he talks about my nakedness is…"Look at me" he whispered and I did. He stared into my eyes and I almost looked away but he held my face down. Now what? What's he trying to read?"Do you want me?" He asked calmly as he hovered on me.What? Why's he asking me that? I fin

    I kept breathing heavily when we were done. My hole had swallowed a lot of cum and I wondered if I wouldn't get pregnant.Henry was beside me breathing slowly and I wondered if he didn't use himself."Panting, huh?" He pulled me to him but I repelled in shyness."You weren't this shy when you asked for my cock" he teased and I looked away in embarrassment."Stop teasing me" I quirked palming my face."I'm not sweetheart, you know I wouldn't" he teased and I scoffed.I made to get out of the bathtub when he pulled me to himself. I shook my head when I fell into his hard chest."You're all mine and I am all yours" he whispered as he caressed my back.I blushed heavily at his sexy words. Goodness, this boy.Suddenly, water filled the bathtub and his familiar scent was in the air. "Does your back hurt?" He questioned and I nodded."I'll give you a massage, okay?" He told me and I smiled gently.He stared at me for a while before he sat up, "don't hold yourself back Camila. You can be vul

    CHLOE"Did…did you see that? Did you see? He embarrassed me" I paced around the room in anger."C'mon, just sit Chloe, he didn't embarrass you" Cassy ranted."Shut up! Just shut up! She's no better than me" I ruffled my hair in anger and frustration. Was her drawing really better than mine? Or was Henry just lying?No, no, it can't be. I'm good at everything I do, ain't I?"Chloe?" Samantha walked in wide-eyed and I stared at her in confusion."Look, come" she grabbed my arm and my eyes widened when the cars drove in.About five cars. My mouth went wide agape when he got down, the Governor."Dad!" I rushed to him and he engulfed me in a hug."Dad" I cried as I hugged him."Chloe…" he patted my hair and I smiled."Why…why are you here?" I asked and he laughed."I just came to check on my daughter" he caressed my cheeks and I smiled. I was getting emotional already."You shouldn't have…you could have sent for me. Please go in" He shook his head instead, "I only came to check up on you.

    CHLOE"Where are you? Where are you Braden?" I yelled over the phone. "Where the fuck are you?""Don't yell at me bitch, don't" he exhaled and my mouth went wide open. He called me a bitch? Why? He has been acting all weird and sometimes sweet but…why's he doing this, today of all days."Happy birthday Chloe, go enjoy your birthday and let me be" he ranted and I sighed.Tears burned at my eyes but I wouldn't let them fall. It's my day, I'm 18. Something I've always dreamt off, I wouldn't let anything ruin it.I grabbed a stick of cigarette and the lighter and I smoked with a sad smile.He succeeded in ruining my day after…after I thought he loved me."Chloe!" Cassy jumped on me and I scoffed mentally."Get off me" she pulled away, the smile leaving her lips. "What's wrong?" She asked but I ignored her.I stood up and almost staggered. I wiped my tears ignoring the pain in my heart. It's my day, I should enjoy it."The caterers, dancers and everyone is here. The guests are many so the

    "Dad?" I called as Henry and I walked into the room handinhand. Dad looked over at us and he sighed before walking to me."You really want to go with him Camila?" He asked and I nodded.He stared at Henry for a while and it was a look of guilt, trepidation and…something else. His look was replaced immediately, with the frigid one, "you're unstoppable now Camila, just do whatever you want" he told me and I sighed.I took his hand suppressing my tears, "you know you can just tell me, huh""No Camila, it's going to ruin things even more" he pressed his lips on my forehead and I cried.I hugged him tightly as I whimpered. I know he still cares, he was just angry."You should go, you shouldn't be late" he patted my back and I nodded.I stared at him slowly walking away when he stopped me, "can you call me dad?""Dad" I called as I fell to him in tears. The little makeup I wore stained his shirt but he didn't care, he hugged me tighter like never before."Be safe sweetheart" he broke the hu

    HENRYI glanced around as I walked through the hallway. I looked at my phone to check the room number when I bumped into someone.I looked up and almost scoffed seeing it's Chloe. She was holding the hem of her gown with heavy makeup on her face."Henry…" she tried to touch me but I moved back."Don't act all good, I still want to punish you" I rolled my eyes trying to leave when she took my hand."You haven't even wished me yet" her lips formed in a pout and I scoffed."You have no right to touch me" I deadpanned and she let go of my arm, anger appearing on her face."And who does? Camila? Are you here with her? Are you here with that low life?"I grabbed her arm in anger, "call her a low life and see what I do.""You're a fool. You are." She hit my face and I scoffed. "She doesn't deserve you. I do. I should be the one you love"My brows contorted in confusion as I stared at her. Is this girl crazy? She wants to date her cousin? Isn't she in love with Braden?"I should be the one. I

    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
