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
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
Daniel’s POV“Something bad will happen.” That's the word that kept ringing in my head since I woke up that morning and I couldn’t quite place it. I’ve tried to think about different things that could hurt me to the people around me, but I couldn’t say anything, I thought about the possibility that Nancy could do anything, but I wasn’t even moved by her threats. The only card she could use is what I’ve revealed myself and even got out of easily and quickly in a way I hadn't expected because Camilla was there beside me. I can’t even contain my joy that she helped me with it. Two indeed are better than one, just the have they said. I couldn’t even go home the previous night because the thought kept ringing in my head. I just wanted to be with Camilla because she’s the one my heart kept saying she’ll be affected. I even initiated the sex because I needed an excuse to stay over, and when she asked if I wouldn’t be going home after our sex at past twelve, I simply told her that I was in
Camilla’s POVI paced the room, running a hand through my already scattered hair before I turned to face her again. “What’s going on, Mom? Did you already know that I’m your mother? Why didn’t you tell me if you already know? Or did your daughter die back then?” I asked the question all at once because I needed the answers, and I didn’t want her to hide from me. She heaved a sigh and clutched the sheets as she struggled to sit properly. I inched toward her and quickly reached out to help her. I can’t have her die now. No, she’s not going to die. My thoughts were scattered and I had no idea what to think anymore. “You see Camilla,” she said, tears welling up in her eyes. I knew the answer I wanted right at that moment. She knew all this while that I was her daughter, but she didn’t tell me. She hides things from her only daughter. How could she be this cruel to me when she literally dumped me at birth because she didn’t want to lose her inheritance. How could she be this heartless
Camilla’s POVWhy is he here again? I mused inwardly, quickly hiding the file on my table and also hiding the the frustration in my eyes.“I thought you’ve gone, Daniel. Are you not going to work?” I asked, hoping he’d say he’s about to go, but just wanted to check on me before going, but the reverse was the case.“Yeah, I just wantto see you again,” he said, smiling, but what he didn't know was that the smile was making angry me at that moment because I had something urgent to do. Before I could say a word, he pulled the chair and sat down. “Daniel, Really?” I asked, raising a brow. “I have work to do and….”“I know, Camilla, but I just wanted to stay with you. I kept having this feeling that I shouldn’t leave you alone. That was why I insisted on sleeping over at your house. It’s because I kept having this feeling that something will happen.” he explained. “Thank you, Daniel. I know you’re worried about me and want me to be safe, but I can assure you that nothing will happen, Dani
Camilla’s Pov Daniel, on the other hand, kept staring sweetly into my eyes.“I know it's weird and wrong if we think about what I've been through and what Daniel had caused me in the past, but it's what I want and I can't ignore it. I can't leave him in the past and move on like nothing happened. Besides, we have a nine-year-old son together, and my world revolves around him and whatever he wants.”I can't even ignore the fact that I couldn't give my heart to any other guy for nine years, but he made me fall for him again not long after I returned. I don't know if it's because I was scared to love again or because I didn't just want my son to be traumatized by having two fathers or being a stepson to a man who wouldn't like him. Justin couldn't talk; he was just looking at me, which was the same as Daniel.“Are you sure that's what you want, Camilla?” Justin asked when he finally regained composure.I paused for a while as if I was thinking about it again,, before I nodded my head.
Camilla’s POV“The test results are ready and I have it here with me,” he said, smiling at me, not knowing what I was fighting with inside me. My heart almost jumped out of my chest as it was thumping heavily in my heart. What could it be? I’m I Lady Wesley’s daughter just as I’ve thought or was I just imagining things? Am I too greedy for wanting Lady Wesley to be my mom? Is it someone else? What will happen if I end up being her daughter? What will happen after that? Will I be able to forgive her or will I be stuck to my past? Different thoughts and ideas race through my heart, leaving me trembling in fear. With trembling hands, I reached out to collect the result from him and thanked him for making the result come out faster than I thought. I walked down the corridor back to my office, clutching the test result in a file I had taken with me while going to hide it as if people could read my mind or as if it was a secret I couldn’t reveal. Just as I was about to turn to my office,
Camilla's POVMy heart skipped a beat as I read Jackson's message. For some minutes, I couldn't drive, I was literally shaking. Lady Wesley's daughter is the same picture from the orphanage, which means I've successfully located the orphanage where she put her daughter, but why do I feel like I'm connected to the picture?Why do I feel oddly connected to her? The orphanage where she had put her daughter was the same orphanage I've been to thrice now in search of my parents. I saw the same photo the last time I went to the orphanage and felt a weird kind of connection to it as if I was the baby in the photo. I felt disturbed and lost my peace and I felt like the world is closing in on me as realization dawned on me that since the two kids are the same and I feel weirdly connected to it. I heaved a sigh even though I was troubled. I knew just what to do, which is to get to the root of everything. I got out of my car and went back to my apartment. I went straight to the bathroom, but
Camilla’s POVWe were both still trying to catch our breaths when I turned to face him. “It’s already dark, Daniel, when are you going home?” “What?” he asked, his tired eyes doing nothing to hide how stunned he was, and instead of him to respond to me, he pulled his body closer to me and rested his head on my bare breast. “I’m not going home, Camilla. Anywhere you are is home to me.” I was left speechless by his response. Who on earth sleeps in his in-law's house if not Daniel Caspian, my husband? I tapped him, but he didn’t even answer me, he just pulled me into a warm embrace and cuddled me until I finally gave up. I was tired and feeling sleepy, but most importantly, refreshed and happy.“I love you, Camilla,” Daniel whispered into my ears making my heart skip a beat before he finally slept off. I couldn’t answer, but I felt happy that he’s beside me. The bed was empty when I woke up. Has he gone home? Why did he leave without seeing me? He didn’t even tell me before going. Is
Camilla’s POVI wasn’t expecting Nancy to think of snatching the phone out of Dad’s hand, but since she did, I wanted to show her what it means to put someone in her place. She probably thinks the love and respect I have for her was still there because I used to like her and do everything she wanted. She must have thought I’m still the same girl I was nine years ago, but putting her in her place has never been more soothing. “Go ahead and lecture me as always big sis, since that’s all you know how to do. Just do it again and let’s breathe.” I said to her which got on her nerves. And to make matters worse, Daniel came out right when I was about to end the call and kissed me. I intentionally moaned loudly to it so she could know that Daniel was mine and that she was nobody to him.Daniel’s voice was filled with sarcasm when he asked what she wanted, and I knew, which gave me a kind of Joy I didn’t know I’d ever have. I pictured the way Nancy’s voice will be in my head and I couldn’t he
Nancy’s povI couldn’t leave my parents after I heard my father confess that the bank would soon come for the house as the company’s debt has increased since Daniel pulled out his investment, and other big companies that invested because of Daniel have also been pulling out. I felt glued to a position and couldn’t move, I had to beg him to stop thinking so it wouldn't affect his health. I watched him struggle to hold things in while call after call of investors pulling out continued to flood his phone. The news has even made headlines, and soon, the staff and banks will start asking for their money,y, and so on, they’ll be left homeless.I thought of Camilla, but I dismissed the thought, knowing she wouldn’t help. I had to dial her number and convince my dad to speak with her after watching him groan in pain. I didn’t know Camilla would answer, but she answered on the third ring and she wasn’t even listening to my father’s pleas which got me angry and I began to fight my father and
