Daniel's POV

The drive back to my mansion felt longer than usual. My head was a mess as I kept thinking about Camilla's cold and distant voice, which was a result of my previous actions.

I went back to Camilla's office to apologize to her, but I learned that she had taken the day off.

I couldn't stop blaming myself because I wondered if I was the reason why she left for the day. And it was because I couldn't contain the joy, sadness, and confusion I felt at the same time.

The joy of seeing my wife after nine years, the sadness of not being accepted, the confusion about a child I did not know I had, and the pain of being rejected. I know I am paying for what I did in the past, but admitting it hurts.

As I pulled up at the gate of my house, I could hear loud noises of people in a heated argument filling the atmosphere.

I didn't even need anyone to tell me before knowing it was Nancy.

“I said open the damn gate, Martin!” she shouted, trying to push past the gateman. “What the hell is wr

    Daniel's POV“Give me whiskey!” I asked the barman as I sat beside Damien at the bar.“Is it okay for you to drink with your health?” Damien asks out of concern, his gaze boring into me like he's studying a child.I shook my head at his words as I recalled that I couldn't consume much because of my heart. “I really need to drink to relieve my sorrows tonight. I will just have a glass or two to cool my head.” What an irony; I have a heart condition and a broken heart and a cardiologist wife, who has refused to treat me. I thought to myself. “What's going on, you look older compared to the last time we saw each other. It was just a week ago and you look like my older brother. I don't want my best man to look older on my wedding day.” he teased.I smiled, though it didn’t reach my ears. “How is the preparation coming through? I’m sorry I didn't check in.” I apologized, pouting my mouth and making it look like I was really sorry.“Things are gradually settling. Sophia's parents have agr

    Camilla's POVI could barely sleep well throughout the night because all I could think of was my encounter with Daniel and how I would find my birth parents.It felt like I had returned to my vomit, to the same place that caused me years of pain and I have made up my mind not to let my son experience the pain of not having parents just like me.I had woken up very early, prepared Jason’s food by myself, freshened up, and also got Jason ready for his new school. Justin had done the research and found a school that was not too far from my office, but far away from Daniel’s company. I want Jason to start early because I don't want him to feel lonely at home or wander around at my company and run into Daniel again, and I also want him to mix up with other children and have good friends. I wanted Justin to be with me because he was the only one I could trust at the moment. He can also come around to take Jason whenever I'm not around to. “Is this my new school, Mommy?” Jason asks exc

    Daniel's POVI returned back to my VIP room, holding onto Camilla’s words like a lifeline. She had promised to come, and if there was one thing I still know very well about her, it was that she always kept to her word no matter what. After my conversation with Damien at the bar the night before, I had made the decision to bring myself down from my high horse to win Camilla and Jason back to me. And I thought getting her to treat me would be the best. Interacting with her during the consultation and treatment will be a great start for us; it will give me a chance to break the ice she had built around herself and remind her of what she once had for me.It's been over thirty minutes since I left Camilla's office and she hasn't come. Each second stretches longer than the last one as I expect her. Then finally, the door to my suite opened. I straightened myself, anticipation coursing through my veins, but it turned into disappointment immediately as all I could see was Frank, whose fig

    Camilla's POVI had just returned to my office after my round of consultations when I saw that Jason's class teacher had called thrice.My heart skipped a beat.What is going on? Why is she calling me?I had just registered Jason in the new school today, so what could be wrong?Did I forget to pack his lunch? Was he sick? Did someone bully him? Different questions filled my head as I struggled to dial her number back; my hands trembled with worry. I had ensured he wouldn't have any problem in the school before registering him there and had specifically told his teacher to call me anytime if anything happened. The phone barely rang twice before his teacher, Ms. Adams answered her phone, her voice laced with urgency.“Hello, Ms. Wesley?” “Yes, this is Jason's mother. What happened? Is Jason okay?” my heart raced as my grip on my phone became tighter, and my heart pounded like a war drum. “There was a little accident in school,” she explained quickly. “Jason fell down while playing

How can he become so free with her even after meeting her for the first time? How can they easily connect as if they've known each other for years? Ms. Adams didn't explain that someone was there with Jason when I called, so I was puzzled. And I wonder what my manipulative mother-in-law told Jason to make him smile like that when I entered. And seeing Daniel and his mother desperately try so hard to sneak back into my life and my son's was too hard to bear. They lost their right over my life when they sent me packing.

    Daniel's POV I entered Jason's school and saw my mother standing at the entrance, looking at a Brown color Rolls Royce parked in the compound without shifting her gaze. I immediately sensed that it was probably Camilla she was looking at. I peeped at the car and it was indeed Camilla. I saw when she left the hospital the previous day, so I knew it was her car. I took the initiative and quickly parked my car in front of hers, just to prevent her from escaping me.It's better to settle the case whenever we fight so it won't lead to grudges.I knew full well that my mother had been expecting me to give her a grandchild for years, but seeing a child who looks like me and claiming the child as her grandson because he resembles me is what I never imagined she could do. I didn't know she was as desperate as that. As soon as she ended the call earlier, I sensed that she was probably at Jason's school, so I had to rush down here to stop her from doing something that could cause problems

    Camilla's POVMy breath caught as I watched how Daniel collapsed and hit the ground. For a moment, I froze because I had lost my reasoning. This isn't happening. But the day his face twisted in pain and the way his body was shaking before he didn't move again told me it was the reality.Panic gripped me as memories of the past flashed through me.I had once lost a patient due to carelessness during my housemanship, and I still think about it everyday. The thought made me dread that Daniel could die also due to my negligence. I had totally forgotten that he was a patient I had just admitted to the hospital, and I continued to argue with him and stress his already weak heart. It wasn't entirely my fault, though.I was so engrossed in our argument, and his stubbornness in wanting Jason and his mother's attitude had also made me forget that he wasn't feeling fine.I felt bad about letting my feelings control me and ignoring my oath to uphold and my responsibility to my patients as a do

My eyes opened, and I blinked at the harsh sunlight coming from the window. The smell of antiseptics filled my nose, making me turn my head slightly to the side and see that I was at the hospital.I saw a figure standing beside me and blinked to see Camilla. I stared at her, and all I could see was that her eyes were filled with emotions I couldn't quite place, but she looked worried and concerned. I felt my heart tighten to it. “Daniel!” she called softly, leaning towards me. “Can you recognize me?.” her voice was calm and I nodded my head slightly in response. I tried lifting my hand, but my body refused to cooperate. She noticed my struggle and quickly raised her hand to stop me. “Don't push yourself,” she whispered. “How are you feeling?” she asked, her gaze searching mine. I blinked continously, still trying to piece together what was h

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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?”

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

    Daniel’s PovI felt depressed since Camilla turned me down earlier. I had thought she’d agree to come to the wedding since she’s close to Damien, but I guess she doesn’t like him as much as I thought, or maybe it’s really because of Jason. But even though I still hated the fact that they wouldn’t be coming to the wedding, I still couldn't get Camilla out of my head. Her sweet fragrance still fills my head and makes me want to have sex with her again, even now.I deprived myself of having sex with other women to punish myself for sleeping with Nancy, my wife’s sister, but after the sex with Camilla, I didn’t want to stop. It feels like all the feelings I’ve suppressed all these years have finally come to light, and I kept having the urge to have sex with her and claim her to myself. It’s even more hard that I’m sitting alone in my office now, doing nothing. Her moaning sound and the way she moan out my name and kept begging me to fuck her kept making messing with my head. I just feel
