-Chapter Twenty Five-
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I am gasping for breathe, panting.
I wipe off the beads of sweat on my brow and bury my face in my hands.
Eric suddenly wakes up and stands up from the couch he chose to sleep on when he sees me awake.
He looks worried as he switches on the lights and walks towards me. He sits beside me on the bed and asks gently,
"What's wrong, Mila?"
I cry. "Nightmare!"
Before he can say another word, I grab him and hug him so tightly. He engulfs me in his arms and I lay my head on his chest. I get lost in his warm arms. I'm still feeling a little frightened.
He threads his hands in my hair, soothing me.
"It's okay," he says gently. "I'm here... It was just a nightmare..."
I draw away from him and look up at him intently, my eyes boring into his.
He leans closer and brushes his lips past mine.

I couldn't walk!Luckily, Ramon drove like a maniac and here we are in hospital and Roy is receiving treatment.I am sobbing on Eric's shoulder on the bench and Ramon is pacing from corner to corner nervously. He hasn't said a word since we got here, just talking to the doctors and nurses.Ramon's phone rings.I look up and see the caller.Allison.He immediately receives the call.

Allison stomps away.My son has this worried look on his face and he asks in concern. "Why is Ms. Allison angry, Mommy?""It's nothing baby," I say warily, pecking his cheek.Eric shows up, ready to drive me home.He notices that I am in Ramon's sweater but fortunately for me, he doesn't say a word.Instead he grins and asks, "can we go?"Ramon looks at me quizzically as if begging me to choose him. But I look away and nod at Eric with a frown on my face."Yeah... Let's go," I mutter.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷I set Roy's chocolate milk along with some muffins for breakfast on the table.Honestly, I didn't want him to go to school today.

I am on a date.A dinner date with Eric.Roy is with Ramon, playing with Renny at his house. I was actually able to convince Eric that Mr. Lawrence is not as bad as he thinks he is. And you know Eric, he believes every word I say."You are just the most... Amazing woman I've ever met, Mila," Eric says abruptly.That catches me off guard and I'm rendered speechless."To be honest... Since I met you, I have been doing things right in my life. I have a perfect bond with my son. I often go home when I'm free and start hanging out with my brother, Will," he pauses. "We are going for a picnic by the way. Just me, Renny and Will. Would you like to join?"It's still kind of odd to me that Eric has been shunning his special brother for years.But I am happy that he has started treating him right. Atleast he is standing up for him now."I would love to but-""You don't wa

"What is that?""A few weeks ago," Ramon narrates. "Allison sent me nudes. She was all clingy and horny and wanted us to get down to business. I really wasn't feeling her and I made that very clear. She has come to my house several times and the only thing we did was just making out... But I didn't feel anything. So, I guess after sending me those nudes, she thought I would want her as desperately but that's just not the case. I still didn't want her. "I'm listening keenly to him. Never in a million years would I have thought Allison would do something so desperate."So when she hurt Roy and I learnt that she was the reason I got fired yet I blamed you the whole time," Ramon continues. "I was so angry and I had to do something to get back at her. I leaked her nudes and sent them to the headmistress and staff of the entire school through mail. She was immediately fired the next morning."

I bang on Ramon's door that night.I know he did it.I know he sent Eric those pictures!The door flies open and Ramon stands inside, surprised to see me."What do you want?"I slap him so hard across the face.His face turns red and pale.He glares at me."What's wrong with you, Camilla?""No. You! What's wrong with you? How dare you sent those pictures to Eric! He broke up with me! Are you happy now?""I don't understand." He stares at me in bewilderment. "What are you talking about?"I throw the pictures in his face. Our pictures in the past. Us in bed together. Us in parks and dates. I never even knew he had those pictures in the first place!!!"How would you do something like that to me! It was upon me to tell him the truth about us! Not you! Again, you have deceived me. You have hurt me allover again! You have broken my heart! AGAIN!!!"He grabs my arm and dra

THE RETURN -EPILOGUE-
RAMON'S POVI never thought I would fall so hard for Camilla.Before I met her, I just fucked around. Always making sure I don't get attached until the cliche story happened to me.I fell for her.I fell for her the first night I saw her looking like a complete mess. Her hair wet and her clothes all muddy. And despite that, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.I had seen her photos and I knew she was beautiful. But I didn't know she was that beautiful.I guess the hardest thing for a man is not lying to others but lying to himself.At first, I lied to myself that I'm not falling for her. But deep down, I knew I had fallen already. I had fallen so hard. So hard that it was obvious to everyone around me. Flex kept teasing me about it but I kept denying it. Un

But he had to be in hospital since Karla is getting discharged today.The doctors informed us that Karla was very lucky that the bullets didn't kill her. She was injured severely and bleeding profusely. It is honestly a miracle that she did not die on the spot.Ramon stops clapping for the boys and darts a glance at me.

"Harder!"I moan at the top of my voice.Ramon thrusts inside me roughly, the king-size bed creaking underneath. He comes down on me stronger and faster with every shot.We both reach climax and he buries his head on my bosom.We are both out of breath, after that moment of complete ecstasy.The doorbell rings.We both groan at the rude, untimely interruption."You get the door!""No, you get the door!""Nope! I went to get it yesterday," I insist. "It's your turn!"He looks at me with those puppy, dark eyes. He looks so stupid and ridiculous that I burst out a laugh."That's so not working!" I chuckle. "It's pathetic.""Fine then.""Good boy!""You are such a bully!" He dresses up quickly, still grumbling. "It sucks living in

I keep telling him he's gone far away but he will be back soon. But I am left asking myself.Will he ever come back or is it just a lie I'm telling myself?My friends have been there for me in every way possible: Eric, Riana and Karla. They have been there for me emotionally, physically and even financially.Yes, financially.I went bankrupt.My dad was able to put everything he ever gave to me back in his name.

THE RETURN -Chapter Fifty-
Ramon is in hospital.He was rushed to the hospital last night after the shooting.He hasn't woken up since then but at least there's good news. The guy that shot him was caught and confessed he was sent by my dad. It all made sense why Dad threatened me when I went to see him. But I don't get why he would put me through all this pain if he really loves me...It just doesn't make sense...The bad news is that Ramon hasn't woken up since. And I'm afraid he won't since the doctors haven't said a single word. That scares the shit out of me.I haven't had Ramon for the last five years and now losing him forever is like a dreadful nightmare. God! Please don't let that happen! When I lose him this time, it won't be only me that gets affected but also our son, Roy. He has grown too attached to him to lose him now...And, how will I start explaining that he is gone? This time forever?I am even tired of

Ramon and Roy went to the mall a couple of hours ago but still haven't returned.I'm sure they are having so much fun together. They didn't want me to tagging along.They claimed it's a boys' affair and that I was not welcome. Can you imagine! So sexist!I am in the kitchen, making dinner. I hope by the time they are here, I will be done.The doorbell rings.That's odd.I was not expecting anyone at this time.I open the door, only to see Eric standing at the doorstep looking anxious and nervous. I welcome him and proceed to the kitchen where he follows me.Eric, being the good guy, doesn't sit down. He helps with slicing the onions and the tomatoes. I can clearly see his hands are kind of shaky."Eric, are you okay?" I ask him."I am fine... Just a little anxious...""Why?"He sighs and stops to look at me."Because I want to propose to Karla..."

I thought I had lost him forever this time.Ramon couldn't believe that my dad has been alive all this time. But he was relieved that he didn't kill my dad that night and now his conscience is clean. I expected him to be very angry at me but the funny thing, he was so overwhelmed to see me that he even cried in front of everyone. That was very emotional and I found myself crying too.Karla and Eric started awwed at us as we embraced.So Eric is the hero in this story. When he found out I was missing, he knew Ramon would be able to help find me faster. So he paid one of the of

Solidad is pointing a gun directly at Dad.Dad's face is contorted with fury and terror, like he can't believe she just betrayed him. She's not in the sexy red dress she was wearing a while ago. She's in a black pant suit and her hair tied up in a neat bun. She looks like a serious no-nonsense woman."Detective Marina Santos," she shows him her badge. "Calvin Clarkson, you are under arrest for drug trafficking and the murders of Clara Clarkson and Rupert Green. You are also under arrest for faking your own death."Dad is baffled by the revelation."I have been an undercover detective and I was assigned to you back in Mexico. The Mexico Police wanted proof that you are indeed a drug trafficker. But as I got deeper in your case, I discovered that there was more to you than drug trafficking. Just some few weeks ago, I found out that you faked your own death, killed your ex-wife and Rupert and to make it even worse, you abducted your
