Camilla’s POV “Happy birthday, Camilla!” I whispered to myself as I opened my eyes early morning.It’s my 30th birthday today and I couldn't be more happy. I said a little prayer for myself in my heart as I rise from my bed to check on Json, the light in my life before I get ready for the day’s work. Not that I have anything I prepared for myself for my birthday, in fact I stopped celebrating my birthday since it reminded me of my failed marriage as a young girl, but I am grateful for the gift of Jason in my life. I freshened up and went to work as usual since today is a busy day with the board of directors due to the meeting we have. I was grateful Lisa and other’s didn’t know my birthday at work, because they would cause disturbance by making me celebrate it.I went over to get a cup of coffee for myself after my rounds before returning back to my office. I was slowly sipping it when I heard someone knock at my door. “You can come inside,” I said, my eyes fixed on the thesis pape
My phone beeped with a call as soon as he left, looking at the screen, my mother’s name, Lady Wesley’s name appeared on the screen.“Hello, Mom,” I said, anticipation bubbling within me.Happy Birthday, darling.”“Thank you, mom!” “I came to your apartment to see you earlier,but you’ve already left when I came. Hope everything is fine?”“Yes, mom. I just had to leave early for work.” I lied. I left earlier than usual today because I don’t want to see Justin since I thought he would come look for me because of what happened the previous night and that is if he still remembers. But I wanted to avoid him so we won’t see or talk about what happened. “It’s okay, Camilla. I just wanted to see how you are doing and give you your gift. I guess we will see later at night.”“Yes, thanks, mom. I will see you later.” The call ended and I continued with the rest of the day, but my thoughts drifted back to how it would have felt if I am happily married with my son and if I have a good husband. I
Daniel’s POVOn that day after Damien’s wedding, I was looking at a book at home and saw that Camilla’s birthday is coming up in a few days. I never celebrated her birthday with her when she was with me, not even wedding anniversaries or attended events with her, so it made it look awkward even to me that I am planning to celebrate her birthday with her.Although I know it will feel weird for both, I still want to make it special for her and it’s her 30th birthday, so I know she would want to celebrate it, but I don’t know how to do it without making her feel awkward. I don’t have anyone to call since Damien had travelled with his wife for their honeymoon, so I took my phone and began to scroll through to see if I’ll get any ideas on birthday for wife. After about twenty minutes, I finally saw something that I think won’t cause much fight , especially if Jason will be there. I know I am shameless about using Jason as a shield anytime I am having issues with Camilla, but I can’t help
Camilla's POVI don't know what happened to me as Daniel was speaking to me, but my body suddenly became relaxed after he deadpanned not to allow me to leave without him and after hugging me. The way he hugged me and made me calm down felt weirdly comforting that I had to sit down and eat the food that tasted like a stick in my mouth after receiving Raymond's call.One of the many reasons why I agreed with my mother, Lady Wesley, to come back to the same city that holds many painful memories of my past for me was because I wanted to look for my parents. I have judged myself many times, cried over it countless times, and blamed myself for what I didn’t even know if I was the one that caused it because I was disowned by those I thought were my parents. Although I had no hope of seeing them when I came back to the city, I was sure I wanted to know them, and I didn’t care if they were dead or still alive; I just wanted to know where I came from because I was sure I didn’t fall from heave
Camilla’s POV“Good morning, wifey!” Daniel, smiling while leaving my heart beating very fast at his words. His eyes moved away from me to Jason behind me, who was already jumping excitedly. “Hello, Jason!” Daniel said while Jason moved closer to hug him. “Good morning, Ms. Wesley,” Raymond greeted, bowing his head. I ignored Daniel since I knew speaking to him wouldn’t yield much now because he wouldn’t listen to me if I talked, just like he did the previous day.“Good morning, Raymond. What’s going on? Why are you here when I haven’t given you a call yet?” I asked, my voice ice cold as I fixed my unwavering gaze on him.“I’m sorry I came here without receiving your call, but Mr. Caspian here called earlier about you wanting me to arrive earlier. I’m sorry if I’ve done anything to….”“It’s okay,” I said, cutting him off. My gaze moved to Daniel, who was still stylishly playing with Jason’s hair to make it seem he was busy. “Don’t you think we have some things to clear off, Mr. Ca
Camilla’s POV“You are Fired.” These are the three words my supervisor told me as I entered her office this morning.My breath caught in my throat, I stood there shocked, staring at the letter she threw at me.Fired? How?“I'm sorry, ma’am, please, I am just ten minutes late. The traffic was unbearable…..” I tried explaining but she cut me off sharply.“Enough! You are always making excuses, Camilla. The CEO approves of this because he's tired of hearing different complaints from you every time you are rebuked, so get out.” I tried begging her again, but It seemed pointless trying to explain myself because she was not listening. Besides, hearing her mention the CEO got me even more upset. Without another word, I turned and walked out of her office, my heart pounded with anger and disbelief. I can’t think straight, not after the morning I was having, not after receiving a video of my husband having sex with an unknown woman. I’ve been hearing rumors that my husband has been dating
Camilla’s POVA few staff members saw me crying as I fled the premises of the company but I couldn't care less about their glances or gossip that spread about me being fired.I was totally disorganized and my heart pounded heavily and I could barely hold my phone without shaking. I thought of going back home, but I couldn't. I don't want to see anyone, especially my mother-in-law who complains about everything I do. I booked a taxi and went back to my parent's house. I needed to speak with someone, and there was only one person in my mind; my mother. Only she can understand and judge the matter without taking sides.As I entered our compound, I heard people laughing loudly in our living room, which made me angry. But as I entered, I met my parents and Nancy laughing, gisting, and enjoying drinks while I was feeling hurt and betrayed by my sister and husband. Seeing Nancy sent a chill down my spine.“Nancy?” I yelled, my voice shaking. “How dare you sleep with my husband?” I yell
Camilla’s POVI went back to Daniel’s house to pack my things with tears streaming down my face. Even though I had made up my mind, I was still hurting from their betrayal.Most of the things I have are just clothes I took in from three years ago except the ones that I bought when I started working at Azal company. There was no single thing about me that could tell people that I married a wealthy man because nothing about me looks rich. Daniel never gave me anything in our marriage, not even a gift all through, but I kept enduring it, thinking he would reciprocate my feelings one day.But as I was going, I left the most pricey treasured gift I had ever bought in my life for him and a note for Daniel in a place where he could easily find it to wish him a final goodbye.I stepped out of the house with no particular place in mind. I was only 18 back then, so I had no friends I could call because they were all in the universities, busy becoming someone great in life, while I was forced

Camilla’s POV “Mommy,” Jason called, staring at me. “How many grandmother’s do I have now?” he asked curiously.“Of course, it’s two grandmother’s that you have.” I answered, knowing he still needed an explanation on how he suddenly has two grandmothers when I already told him it’s just one granny he has.“Everyone has two grandmothers and grandfathers, but unfortunately you don’t have any grandfather, but you have your two grandmothers.” “Wow! Mommy, that’s so nice. But why don’t I have a grandfather?”“Because they become an angel.” I said, nodding as I laugh. There was no way I would introduce Mr. Albrecht is his grandfather because he disowned me years ago, besides he doesn’t deserve it. Nancy can give them grandchildren if they wish to have grandkids. “So when next will I meet Uncle Daniel’s grandmother again?”“Very soon, Jason. But she’s Daniel’s mother and your own grandmother, okay?” I said even though I know it’s not possible. I won’t allow her to see him again because I
Daniel’s POV I was really scared when my mother walked up to Camilla and greeted her earlier. I thought she will fight her again, then lead to me having to choose between the two women I like the most. And Camilla also answered without causing trouble. She even told Jason that she’s her grandmother and allowed them to play. I felt really happy, even though I know I don’t deserve it and my mother also doesn’t deserve it. My mother had done more harm to Camilla than good even since she returned and she knows it. Nancy also stood there, looking lost all through the time my mother met Camilla till she played with Jason. I felt relaxed that everything went well, even though I know Nancy has something planned. I waved to Camilla and Jason at the car and watched as their car disappeared from my eyes, but Nancy had already arrived at my back with my mother then.“Mom,” I called, my face brightening up from seeing them. “How do you feel now that you finally meet Jason.”“I guess it's bette
Camilla’s POVJason and I left home for Damien’s wedding at noon. Although I didn’t tell Daniel that we’ll be coming, but I know Damien was a nice person to me and he never stopped, so it won’t be good not to attend his wedding. Damien and his wife had already walked down the aisle when we arrived, so we settled down in our seat like the rest of the guests. Daniel was the best man, so he sat behind Damien and I love it for their friendship.I avoided Daniel’s gaze when his eyes met mine as we entered, I don’t want to start thinking about him touching me in such a place because, I can’t deny that he looked damn sexy in his coat and perfectly styled hair that suits his handsome face, making him look more breathtaking.i noticed how Daniel wicked at Jason and he waved back at him after we sat down.“Mommy see uncle Daniel,” Jason said, smiling.“Yes, he’s the best man since it’s his friend that is getting married.” I said, smiling back at him. “Don’t worry, you will see him later, okay?”
Daneil’s POV“Congratulations, Damien!” I said as I walked into his apartment to get the groom ready along for the day. I was his best man so I arrived early so we could talk before the event began. We couldn’t meet up the previous night since something came up at Damien’s end.“Thanks, Daniel. You finally passed it down to me.” he said, without an expression on his face.I have known Damien for a long time now and he isn’t the type to show it even if he has a problem, but seeing him looking like a bereaved person even on his wedding day that he was supposed to be happy raised a concern. “What’s going on, Damien? Is something the matter?” I asked sincerely, knowing he won’t tell a lie if something is really bothering him.It was as I ignited fire in him as he looked at me. “My father-in-law wants a quarter of my shares for himself. Not even for his daughter now, but for himself.”“Wow…..that man is really shameless.” I said out of frustration. “But has he been planning this for a lon
