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 POVI couldn’t predict Daniel since he suddenly brought out gifts for Jason’s friends in his class. It was as if he was waiting to meet them and introduce himself as Jason’s dad; even though he didn’t really talk, he just handed out the gifts to them and told them to take care of Jason since he wouldn’t be there with him, and he’s still not completely fine. I watched as the kids made some cute facial expressions to Jason to compliment Daniel and me, while some even whispered into his ears. And I watched as Jason’s smile brightened up at the gesture. I couldn’t be more happy than that. I expected Daniel to drive down to where Raymond was and leave, but as soon as we settled back in his car, he paused and stared at me, asking if he could follow me to look for my mother. I don’t even know why Raymond can be as daft as this to tell Daniel where we are going when he has already signed an oath form to keep things between us confidential. Who signs an oath form and still gets bla
Camilla's POVI couldn't hear her clearly. All I could hear was come before her voice became inaudible. I didn't know what happened but I know I can't hear her properly.'What the hell is happening?’ I mused inwardly, my body shaking as I searched for my car keys and ran out of my office. I couldn't even hear Lisa's loud voice calling after me till I got outside, rushed into my car, and started my engine but stopped when I suddenly saw Daniel standing in front of my car as if to stop me from going.My driver had brought my car to Open Medical Hospital earlier after Daniel took me out because I knew I would go out and Daniel wouldn't be there all day to take me out.“Come out,” Daniel's voice rang out angrily. I didn't bother to argue with him or say anything that since I knew he wouldn't listen to me. My hands were trembling as I opened the door and came down, my face pale, and I couldn't say anything.“Do you want to get yourself killed? Is that why you want to drive the car when y
Camilla’s POV“Mom,” I called, my gaze fixed on her as I watched her eyes slowly welled up with tears and watched her trying to stop it from falling. She sniffed, then rested her back on the bed and took a deep breath before she finally spoke. “You see when I was a young girl, I lived recklessly. I’ll go to parties and nightclubs with my friends, date different boys, and drink different things, but everything eventually comes to a stop when I get pregnant. “I hid the pregnancy from my father for more than four months because he’s rarely at home, and even if he’s at home, he won’t ask to see me, and I did a perfect job of lying to the maids. They didn’t know I had morning sickness and all, but I knew I wasn’t going to abort my baby. But my father got furious and threatened to disown me when he finally found out and almost disowned me, but he eventually asked me to choose between having a baby and inheriting his wealth.“I was his only child, and he also has no siblings, so choosing
Daniel's POVAfter Camilla and I took Lady Wesley to the hospital earlier. I received a call from Sam, the legal director of my company, asking about the charges Nancy slammed against me some weeks back.Sam had gone to the court for a case he took on behalf of his cousin whose wife was divorcing and came across Nancy's lawyer, who threatened to come after the company if I didn't appear In court for the charges levied against me.Knowing how much trouble it would stir, I decided to sit with my legal team and see what could be done before proceeding to arrange a seat with both of our lawyers.Sam and the legal team provided everything I'll need for the case. Sam proposed he go alone with another competent lawyer, but I refused, saying it would be better if I saw him face to face with Nancy because I wanted to see how she would react and the things he would do when they were talking about the charges she levied on me. Same reached out to the lawyer saying we want Nancy to be on seat wh
Camilla's POVAfter I ended Lisa, my assistant's call, I became very worried that I couldn't wait for her to come before going back to meet her. I hated it when things were being dragged without a solution. I dialed her number back and told her to wait for me at my office.Mom was listening to me when I was speaking with Lisal, so she encouraged me to go. “You can go, I'll be just fine,” she said, but I didn't feel like leaving her. “Are you sure, mom?” I asked, concern evident on my face. I didn't want to leave her because I felt bad for everything she had to go through and what her father did for her.And since when we talked earlier, my mind kept saying some things to me, but I can't ask her just yet. I need to confirm things for myself and see where it could lead me to.“I'll be back shortly,” I said and rushed out.I took the elevator and rushed down to my office, where Lisa had already entered and was waiting for me. “What is the problem, Lisa?” I asked, my heart thumped a b
Camilla's POVI was in my mom's room and we continued to talk about other things, but I still couldn't get my mind off the mark on her leg. “Mom,” I called after a while.“Yes, Camilla. What is it darling?”“Do you have any birthmarks on your body?” I asked since I didn't want to tell her I had the birthmark she had. “You know, I used to be worried about the birthmark on Jason's body, so I want to ask if it's okay.” I continued so she wouldn't be suspicious of anything.“Of course, there's nothing wrong with having a birthmark. I even have it on some parts of my body. I have it here behind my ear,” she said, showing me the birthmark on her ear and the one on her leg, and it was the two places where I had my birthmark, too. I got scared again. Could this really be a coincidence? Is it possible that we have the same birthmark in the same place? “I'm sure Jason's birthmark is either from you, his mother or from his father. Children usually take most things from their parents. My daugh
CAMILLA’S POVMom’s body has improved very well but I don’t want her to go home just yet. I prefer keeping her at the hospital so she can rest. Even though that doesn’t stop her from going home when she feels she’s fine and doesn’t need to be monitored again. I knew Daniel would take good care of Jason so I was rest assured he’s fine, but I still want Jason to hear my voice. “Hello, darling!” I said, smiling as soon as Jason answered his video call. “Hello, mommy.” he said, his lips forming into a big smile.“Is uncle Daniel there with you already?” “Yes, mommy,” he announced joyfully. “You’ll stay with uncle Daniel today. Your grandmother is not feeling too well and I have to stay with her. Okay?” “It’s fine mommy. I will stay at uncle Daniel’s place and listen to him.”“Ohh..that's my boy.” “But when will you come and take me? Will you come tomorrow?” he asked, the smile on his face disappeared.“Miss me already?” I said teasingly. “Don’t worry, Mommy will come take you tomo
Daniel’s POV“Emm…..” she stammered, and it made me wonder if this was really my mom. Is something going on with her? Or is she sick or going to die? Why is she like this when she’s always full of life and energy? She won’t even take turns when she wants to do something, talkless of finding it hard to speak when she’s pissed. I couldn’t wrap my hand around it, but I knew something was wrong with her. Is this really my mother?Mom,” I called her calmly, trying to get her to talk. “Is something going on with you? Are you sick? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?” I asked, voicing out my concern.“It’s not that, Daniel. It’s just….I want to ask about Camilla. Can she…..” she was saying, but I cut her off swiftly.“Mom, please, don’t mention Camilla. There’s a peace I've been enjoying with her since I've gotten access to Jason and if you do anything now….” “That’s not what I’m talking about, Daniel. I’m sorry for everything; I just couldn’t stand her when she didn’t allow us acc
