Daniel’s POVI was stunned to hear my Mom speak that way again even after how she collapsed and was brought to the hospital by Camilla. Why is she this bent on seeing Camilla destroyed? Is this still Nancy’s handiwork or just her own wickedness? I could swear I’ve never seen my mom behave like this to anyone except for Camilla, so what could she have done to my mother to get this kind of treatment from her.She literally turned herself into a beast when it comes to anything that concerns Camilla. I stared at her, completely clueless about what to say to her to make her stop hating on Camilla, then a thought crossed my mind.“Mom,” I called calmly. My tone was calm but enough to tell her that I am not joking, but damn serious. “Are you really my mother or did you adopt me from the orphanage?” “What kind of question is that, Daniel? Of course, I’m your mother. I carried you for nine months in….” I didn’t allow her to finish before cutting her off. “Then why don’t you like me?”“How
Camilla’s POVI returned back to the hospital after I left Daniel and Jason with his mother at the hospital because of my mom. I wouldn't have been able to sleep well if I didn’t take care of his mom and take her to the hospital and I was grateful I took her to the hospital even though I knew Daniel doubted me at first and I was angry at him for not trusting me even though he knew what kind of person his mother is.And even at that, I felt weirdly undisturbed about leaving Jason with him. I know he would love it and I also don’t have the time to take care of Jason since I’ll be spending the night with my mother at the hospital.I was on my way to my mom’s room when I met Lisa who had closed for the day and was on her way home. “Why are you back at the hospital, doctor?” She looked shocked as if she had seen a ghost.“I’m I not supposed to be here or what do you mean, Lisa?”“No, it’s just that I thought you’ve closed for the day when you left earlier in the afternoon. You know, the
Camilla’s POVShe smiled, but I could see that it didn’t reach her eyes, she’s clearly forcing herself. What exactly is going on? Is she hiding something from me? My thoughts ran wild, and I had no idea what to think. Did she see her child?“What’s going on Mom? Have you forgotten that you’re the only one I have? Why are you hiding from me when you know I don’t have anybody aside from you? Please talk to me, Mom." I begged, my eyes mirroring the fears in my eyes. She sighed heavily and allowed the silence to stretch between us for a while with my pleading eyes fixed on her the entire time. She finally cleared her throat and met my gaze.“I’m dying, Camilla,” she said with a tone that made it look like she’s joking, but my heart had almost jumped out from what she said. “Talk to me mom, what are you talking about?” I asked anxiously, my body already trembling without knowing what she’s even talking about.“Are you sick anywhere, you know we can get the best doctor in the world to t
Camilla’s POVMy hand was literally shaking from what I’m seeing. I was determined to go to work and continue my research for my mom’s condition; I didn't know that there would be other complications I’d have to deal with again today.One of the bloggers said, “The truth about Robert Caspian’s death finally out, and family revealed to be the cause of his death.” How can they even write something like us? I was so worried about the backlash this would cause and how it would affect Daniel’s company as well as my hospital and even Daniel himself. I already have enough on my plate with everything going on around me, but I know it’ll be a tough season for Daniel.I once overheard Daniel speaking to his mother about his father’s death sometime back when I was still married to him, but I couldn’t ask what happened back then because we were just married to each other without commitment to each other. He wouldn’t speak to me, not even about those kinds of things if he'd even speak to me. The
Daniel’s POVI had told Sam and his team to release the news early this morning and I’ve read the different things and comments people who don’t know what happened to me and my family have been saying about it.I have seen people who are close to me and my family comment about things we didn’t do too, leaving me angry and just toss my phone aside after putting it on silent. I don’t want to hear people’s bitter and cruel words and even the panel judging me when they have no idea about what really happened. It was as if Jason knew something was happening because he entered my room at exactly 6;00 in the morning and just climbed onto my bed and cuddled me without saying a word. I have never been happier in my life. That my son had a feeling that something was going on and climbed up to me in bed and cuddled me to console me. I felt weirdly relieved and allowed him do his thing and we ended up falling asleep and woke up by past eight. “Good morning, uncle Daniel,” he said with a big sm
Camilla's POVI don't know how, but seeing Daniel standing in front of me without yelling at me when I entered his room like before gave me the chills. And seeing him completely nude filled my brain with ideas I didn't know I had. I just wanted to have him close to me like that, in his purest form. I couldn't even refuse his flirting like other days. I just wanted him to fill my core with his cum. It felt like I was in a new heaven when he slid one finger into my core, then two, then three. It felt like he was a stranger I just met. As if he wasn't the same man that took my first as if he wasn't the same man that I slept with days ago. Seeing him worship my body before anything gave him the win. He was nothing like anything he used to be. At one point, I was confused, thinking maybe his pain was what made him different, but I later realized he has always been like that; he just wasn't showing it.He even made me beg him to fuck me from desperation because I wanted nothing other tha
Daniel’s POVThe moment we climbed down the stairs and I saw Jason watching the television from the distance, I knew we’ll have a misunderstanding for the first time ever because I had already promised him that we’ll go out together. But my conversation with Camilla had changed everything and I can’t dare to say no to her because I just can’t manage to see her get angry with me. I want to continue to enjoy the mood she had today and I know the only way to continue seeing that is to avoid getting in trouble with her.I didn’t expect Camilla to become this soft hearted and just let go of everything after everything that happened in the past, but since she’s generous enough to quickly forgive me and even move past it, I should also do everything possible not to get her angry. And I think she does have a point. Letting things go the way I wanted will make the matters worse, so it’s better I address the situation and just make people stop spewing rubbish before it affects my company, my
Daniel’s POVI looked at my phone and Damien’s name appeared on it. “Where are you, dude?” Damien asked as I answered his call. “I’m on my way to the company. Good morning to you too, Damien.”“This isn’t the time for pleasantries, Daniel. Who released the article about your dad this morning.” Damien roared over the phone.It’s been a while since Damien and I met. In fact. It was since his wedding day. He traveled for his honeymoon, and I guess he has arrived because he threatened not to call me when he was going, and I also didn’t call him because I wanted him to enjoy his time with his wife. “I instructed my team to release it, but I didn’t expect the response I was getting, and I also didn’t know that someone else would release their own news faster like that.”“I’m sure that someone you talked about just now is none other than Nancy. Ami wrong?” he asked, his voice blazing with fire. “My gosh, I just feel like strangling the life out of that girl,” I said, feeling frustrated.
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
Camilla’s POVI quickly dialed Jackson’s number when I got outside, but when I remembered that Daniel could follow me, I cut the call and resolved to send him a message. I sent the image of the baby along with the text that he should go back to the orphanage to see the baby’s picture we saw that day, if it’s the same because the woman said that the particular baby that I was talking about was kidnapped. So, if my analysis is correct, it means Lady Wesley’s daughter was kidnapped, and it’s probably by one of her father’s business rivals back then because there was no way to justify that other than my judgment. But even after sending the pictures to Jackson and knowing that even though he can’t go to the orphanage again today, he’ll be there the first thing the following morning to confirm if the pictures are truly the same, then we’ll look for how to find the person. But the date and time of when she gave birth to her baby and the date she took her to the orphanage kept ringing in my
Camilla’s POVNow that my mom is still alive, I have decided to take care of her so I won’t regret it when she finally leaves me all alone.I don’t know the reason, but these days, since the day she told me about her sickness, I feel drawn to her that at times I’ll feel like something is wrong with me if I’m not with Lady Wesley. I don’t know why and I know it’s not because I pity her, but something else I still can’t figure out. I had to leave work early with Jason and return back home because I want to cook for her and make her feel warm. As always, I checked up on her briefly when I entered the house before I went back to my own apartment to cook.I out to have cooked at her place but I didn’t because I want Jason to work on his assignments since he didn’t go to school today and I’ve already set up a small study desk for him where he used whenever he wants to red, so I couldn’t cook at Lady Wesley’s apartment I headed over to her apartment quickly when I finished cooking, but jus
Daniel‘s POVI left Open Medical Hospital earlier and went to Camilla’s house since I’ve called her for the umpteenth time and she didn’t answer my call. I became so afraid that I began to think about different bad things. Did something happen to Camilla? Is Jason sick again? Has Lady Wesley’s sickness gotten worse? Has Nancy attacked Camilla and Jason? The thoughts kept coming differently, and I was literally trembling as I went home. It feels like I’m losing my brain from concern.I was still lost in my thoughts when Frank, my assistant’s call beeped on my phone. “What does Frank want at this important time? Just what does he want?” I spat as I quickly parked my car, knowing my body was literally shaking from fear. And I really can’t place why I’m so worried about Camilla and Jason.. I am worried about Camilla and what has happened to her; I am not sure if it is because I miss her or because I do not want to be apart from he“Yes, Frank, what is it?” My voice was icy cold, and I d
Nancy’s POVI took the initiative and collected my dad’s phone because his hand was still trembling from the fear that Daniel Caspian had just pulled out of his company and left him with debts to pay. He’ll probably throw her on the streets because he knows he’ll lose everything. I know Daniel has blocked my number, so there was no point calling me, besides, I’m not the one whose company he pulled out from. I scrolled through my father’s phone which is already buzzing with different messages and calls. I waited until the last call finished ringing before I was able to scroll through my contacts and dialed Daniel’s number.He answered on the third ring, while I quickly handed the phone over to my dad. I had thought he won't even answer when he didn’t answer on the second ring, but he answered it “Hello, Daniel…..Mr. Caspian,” he practically lost his reasoning and didn’t know what to call him. Although my father tries to keep things professional between him and Daniel, but the issue
Nancy’s POV“Yes, that’s the way forward.” I yelled out loud. “Yes, that’s the only way I can make them both pay while I also have Daniel all to myself. Although I’m not exactly sure that I can have Daniel, but if I can’t have him, I’ll make sure Camilla doesn’t have him either and even his mother won’t have use of him because I’ll make sure he’s not useful for her too.Because, thinking about how Daniel’s mother has also stopped calling me gives me chills too. “How dare Mrs. Morrison used and discarded me like trash?” I was walking at the restaurant where she met Camilla few days back to catch up with an old friend, when I saw her. She was desperately begging Camilla to forgive her after she used and threw me away like I’m nothing. As if I don’t have an emotion and as if I’m not important. Who on earth does that to someone they claim they like?And even though Camilla looked down at her even in a way I dare not do, Mrs Morrisson still stood there, enduring everything Camilla was t
