"That's a lie! You pushed her into the ocean," Leticia shouted as Mr. Golfray hit the table with his palms making a slight thud as he silenced Leticia.
"Mr. Golfray I'm pretty sure my daughter can't do such a ridiculous act throwing someone off the ship," Jenny's mum said as I stared at the wealthy class lady who was dressed in a short gown that reached her knee with pieces of jewelry that glorified her neck and hands.
"Like mother, like daughter," Leticia scoffed while Mr. Golfray faced her taking off his glasses.
"Miss. Casey, I would want you to be of your best behavior," Mr. Golfray said before facing Jenny and her mum.
"If you don't mind, I would like Jenny to explain what happened," Her mum said turning to her witch-like daughter.
Jenny sniffed, wiping her eyes and nose with her palms as she cleared her throat.
"Camilla and I had some issues," She start
The siren sound of the ambulance made spooky emotions in me as I held my mum's hand and watched her struggling to cough with the oxygen covering her nose and mouth. I cried silently watching her in this state, my heart drenched in fear as I tried to stop myself from thinking she's dying and nothing will happen to her. In no time we got to the General hospital and I watched my mum being wheeled out on the sick bed from the ambulance bus by the nurses into the hospital. I muffled my sobs, clamping my palms over my mouth as I felt my face soaked with tears. I ran behind them and they turned in another direction in the hospital as I tried to follow them. "You can't go in," one of the male nurses said stopping me from getting into the emergency room as I stared at him in dismay. I saw the doctors striding in as they put on their hand gloves and I sighe
Never in my life did I imagine I would be standing in front of my mum's burial ground so soon in the vast cemetery.I felt completely void having to lose both of my parents so soon.I wondered what they did badly that life had to deal with them so cruelly... and to us.Now I'm an orphan...My parents were the happiest thing I ever wished for when they were alive but now that they were gone, I felt like an empty shell, a lackluster that is spiritless and hollow.I cried bitterly with Beatrice by my side hugging me with one of her arms wrapped around my waist while I rested my head on her shoulder as the Reverend father read from scriptures over my dead mother's casket place in the ground waiting to be covered by the heap of sand beside it as he performed the funeral rite.My mum's boss, Beatrice and her mum, Leticia, Lillian and I were the ones present to say
CAMILLA POV.***It's been a week since the death of my mother and I was too melancholy to resume school.I didn't want to go to school again, the light keeping me has faded away, so what's the use?Going back to school will just make it easier for my mates to ridicule me.Beatrice and Leticia had tried persuading me to come back to school but I was too adamant, my heart was weak and still grieving.Lillian had resumed back to work 2 days after my mum's burial and I wondered how brave she was.I sat in my bed with my hair messed up, I looked more of a tattered psycho.I refused to eat, I just wanted to be alone for the rest of my life, I hardly took my bath during the week.Today was Tuesday and it was almost late afternoon and Beatrice and Leticia would be on their way here from school to remin
LUCAS POV.***The door opened as my gaze met with hers, my heart sank seeing in her this state. She looked so weak and pale...Her face was invaded with dark circles that formed a sac beneath her eyes and her brown and gold hair was so messy and tattered, I took in more of her features and realized she had lost weight even in that cotton shirt dress she was wearing that reached her mid-thigh.My heart crunched painfully while I stared at her.Her eyes widened with shock as she took her time staring at me, I knew she wasn't expecting me to be in front of her but I couldn't control myself.I needed to see her even though it's just a glimpse well I've gone too far though, and now I'm standing in front of her.The past week has been so unbearable for me. I hadn't been myself for not seeing that cute baby face of hers. My heart ached so bad
CAMILLA POV.***I parked my hair up in a high ponytail, as I bent down to tie the lace of my converse.I didn't even know when I slept off on Lucas's arm, remembering how it felt so warm and secured as he hugged me tightly.I woke up early in the morning and realized that Camilla and Beatrice were right. Mum wouldn't be happy to see me shut me from the world. I needed to be strong, just as she made me promise her to.I sighed taking in my features in the mirror, I had lost weight a bit because I thought it was best to starve myself to death and meet my mum.A tear slipped down my face and I exhaled out wondering when the tears would ever end.I took a close look at myself and noticed the awkward dark circles beneath my eyes.I had been having terrible nightmares that made it unbearable for me to sleep. 
LUCAS POV***I watched as Beatrice gave me a worried look when she hugged Camilla and patted her back gently.'They will hurt me!' Her scared and desperate voice petrified me in my head while I assured her no one will as I hugged her tightly to my body wondering those she was referring to as my inner soul boiled in anger ready to murder anyone who hurts her this time around.It hurts to see her this way, I had seen her running horrifically to the library, things seems off like she was trying to run away fromsomething terrific and drastic.My curiosity took the best part of me as I ran after her and in no time, I caught up with her and yanked her to my side.Her body was convulsing terribly but I held her tightly pressing her head on my chest as I felt her heart, beat wildly against her chest till she calmed down.The bell rang ag
CAMILLA POV***I ran as fast as my legs could carry me all the way from school to my home, as I struggled to open the door.I was shaking and quivering terribly on the inside.My demons were back at their peaks and they decided to haunt me more than I could ever imagine.I've never felt so scared in my life...I was hating what was beginning to befall on me..."Lillian!" I called in the silent house as I closed the door behind me dropping my bag on the floor.'She can't be back from work yet,' I thought staring at the old wall clock hanging on the wall that just strike 4 O'clock.The house seemed so silent that I could hear the sound of my pumping heart drum wildly against my chest.My palms were sweaty and I could feel heat radiate all through my body as my throat we
I rolled to the side of the soft bed as my eyes flung open suddenly remembering the fact I was in my bully's home and his room precisely.I managed to sleep soundly without having any nightmares because Lucas stubbornly slept next to me yesternight and I don't know if he was the one who drove them away.I was getting nervous for getting so calm and warm each time he wraps his arm around me instead of the normal aghast feelings I usually had towards him each time he torments me.I sat up immediately on the bed as I thought of escaping the room. I needed to go back home and face my fears I can't stay here with him, I turned to the side and placed my leg quitely on the floor.I pressed my hands on the bed as gently as I can to support myself while I glanced back quickly to make sure Lucas was still sleeping, then stood up without spoiling my plans.'Seriously being an escapee is not

"She left him shattered turning him to the devil he is now, but he found her and will claim what is truly his."***"Stay away from me Ben," Beatrice cracked in a shaky voice as she took her steps back.She never knew the Ben she was once loved had turned into a monster and nothing but a devil."Not again Beatrice, I let go of you the first time which is the dumbest mistake I ever made in my life, but now that I've laid my eyes on you again, you'll never slip out of my hold," He said the deep icy voice that sent shivers all through Beatrice's body.He grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her to himself and without hesitation he smashed his lips on her._______________________________________GET READY!!!❤️GET READY!!!
FIVE AND HALF YEARS LATER,You know when they say opposite sides attract... That's usually true at times.I finished university with Lucas who is now my Lawful husband a year ago. Lucas became the CEO of his father's company while I worked as a scientist in one of the research institutions in America.Everything had been great between us, well, not exactly great because we tend to fight, argue, cry and the rest...No relationship is perfect but still, we had our chances to make things right and togetherGuess what...? I have a 10 months old baby boy whose name is Gavin.Gavin has a striking appearance and resemblance just like his Dad, those green eyes especially which made him look so cute always made me wonder if it's a thing in Liam's family to pass down green eyes to their descendants.Lucas made me leave my job because he wanted me to give our son a
CAMILLA'S POV.***7 months later,Summer break was over and everyone finished high school two months ago.Lucas, I, and Ben were admitted into the university Berkeley in California.Beatrice had traveled to Germany to study in one of the universities there can't remember the name though while Leticia went to London to study at Oxford University.I can't believe this is a dream come true, dreams of getting into one of the prestigious universities in America just too bad my parents weren't around to witness their daughter go to university.I never heard anything from Lillian and I always prayed she was safe wherever she was.Today was our first day of resumption as Lucas refused to let go of me as I sat on him on the bed."Lucas! Let go, we'll be late to school," I grumbled against him.
LUCAS'S POV.I watched Camilla tiptoe on the rink and prepared the precise skating position I told her to keep. We both went out ice skating in one of the popular Ice rinks in America and today was boxing day.My mum had left saying she would return and make things right, I couldn't bring myself to just forgive her yet because of all what I went through as a little boy and the worst thing was that She and Dad had been together for almost a year and he kept it from me all this while.Camilla's feet were at hip distance and her arms were in front of her, then she squatted slightly, just enough to find her balance.Little kids waved at her as they skated around her giggling at her, I still find it amusing when she told she didn't know how to skate.She bent her knees and looked down, probably afraid she wouldn't fall. Her shoulders were forward and she allowed herself to hold
"Merry Christmas!" Beatrice chirped as she walked into the dining room with some pack of gifts in her hands, followed by Leticia."You're here already!" I gasped looking up from where I was busy with some decorations on the Christmas tree as I squatted... Lucas's father decided on having a little Christmas party among his family and friends... So, I invited Beatrice and Leticia to tag along."Yeah!" Beatrice smirked as she looked around the dining... I think she must be impressed with red, green, and white decorations."You two look so beautiful," I complimented acknowledging their straight glittering gown with spaghetti arms and slit from the thigh, Beatrice's gown was a shade blackish-red while Leticia's was blackish blue."Thank you!" The both of them chirped.They looked so elegant.I haven't put on my cloth since I was so busy with decorations because we
Days and weeks rolled by and I was happy that we finally finished this term exam. Christmas was fast approaching and today being so cold, I and Lucas walked into the city with our hands clasped together.Putting on a thick coat with scarfs wrapped around our necks we walked among the crowds.New York is such a lively place to be as we strolled along the High line and down to soho where we had a local meal at Miss Lilly's.We talked and laughed walking hand in hand after leaving Miss Lilly's restaurant.We kept on walking gazing at the malls and shops already decorated in preparation for Christmas.Kids ran in the street happily with balloons in their hands or a stick of sweet."Is your legs weary?" Lucas asked as we strutted the street."Nope!" I smiled wrapping my booth hands around his left arm, clinging to him as he brought his right t
I was in the library trying to look for a new amplified biology textbook... Lucas was sitting at the corner of the library waiting for me.We just had finished two papers not so long and I wanted to get the textbook, so he and I could study together.I was trailing my fingers on the books arranged neatly on the shelves.'Where's this textbook?' I thought annoyingly remembering quite well, I saw it at this particular spot I was searching for."Show yourself!" I muttered squatting to check the books arranged below the shelf."Hahaha! Gotcha!" I smiled at last feeling relieved I'd seen the book I was looking for sinceI heard steps behind and I stood up turning around to see who it was.The textbook in my hands fell as I began shaking visibly... Taking my steps back."Damien!" I muttered, he still had bandages wrapped ar
"Hmmm!" I mumbled incoherently as I turned to the side of the bed and stretched my hand.My hand hit something hard as I patted it lightly before shooting my eyes open to see Lucas staring at me with a bright smile on his face while my hand was on his chest."Good morning sunshine," He greeted Leaning closer to me as he kissed my lips dearly."Good morning" I smiled snuggling closer to him as I pressed my head on his chest.He patted my hair as we both entangled our hands together with the duvet covering our naked bodies.Memories of yesterday came flashing into my head and I couldn't help but grin crazily.That is something I would never forget in my life... I loved every aspect of how he handled my body like I was some sort of Goddess.This wasn't any sex but lovemaking."How do you feel about yesterday?" He asked s
