Daniel's POV

The cool morning air of the hospital hit me as I sat on my bed in my VIP room. My gaze was fixed on the door as I impatiently waited for Camilla to come around for her doctor rounds and check up on me.

I had expected her to check back on me yesterday, but I was told she had gone home. It turned out that Camilla had been on duty for the three days that I was unconscious, and she's been taking care of me.

That thought alone felt strangely satisfying. I wonder if it was the same Camilla that had sent me away from coming close to Jason that did that. What was in her mind all through the three days? I thought.

She even responded and spoke calmly to me without fighting with me or speaking harshly to me. She acted professionally.

It made me believe that maybe, that is the answer that I needed to be Jason's father. She will definitely allow me without having to fight over it.

But why isn't she here now that I'm awake and now that I need her the most?

    Camilla's POVMy heart was pounding heavily as I ran out of Daniel's room and down the hallway, desperate to get away from him.What the hell just happened. I rushed into my office and slammed the door closed, then leaned against it for support. “What did I just do? How could I be so weak?” I mused inwardly, panting heavily.How can I kiss the man who broke my heart into a million pieces and be completely lost in it? How can my body still recognize and long for him like that?How can I melt into his embrace even after so many years? Is it because I have been sex-starved for nine years?I hated anything that would make me get involved with the male gender, so I hated them just to avoid them.I felt so lost in his arms that I couldn't even control myself and my heart was also beating very fast. To make matters worse, he's asking to date me again with his lock on mine.No, no, no. Daniel is crazy to still have power over me. I clenched my fist as I tried to steady myself again. "I wil

    Camilla's POVMr. Albrecht's face lost all colors at my words. His lips parted slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he was unable to say anything. Instead, he scoffed and it was laced with disbelief and irritation. “It is my property, and I choose not to sell it. And how is that a problem.?” he chuckled bitterly, but I could feel unease in his voice. “Besides, who knows if you are buying the property with stolen money. Don't tell me you slept with a man to get the money?” He mocked, his gaze sweeping over me with suspicion. I folded my arms, keeping my expression calm. “Unlike you, Mr. Albrecht, I don't use and discard people when they're no longer useful. And I don't steal, neither do I manipulate others for my own gain. I work hard for what i have, unlike Nancy, your daughter, that sleeps around with different men just to have her way.” I tilted my head, my eyes fixed on his. “Besides, didn't you see the name that was listed as the buyer in the contract?” His brows fu

    Camilla's POV I let out a deep sigh and kept tapping the leather of the steering wheel with my fingers.Why the hell am I doing this? I questioned myself. Why am I reopening the chapter of my life that I had promised not to reopen again? I had to sneak out of my house like a rebellious teenager just to pick up the same man I swore never to get involved with. I could have ignored the call or even blocked his number or pretended that I never heard his pathetic and drunken words. But I didn't. My heart twisted painfully when I decided not to go and I felt uneasy. Here I am in front of Oak Bar, staring at the neon sign shining in the darkness, after driving for an hour just to get my ex-husband out of his mess. I had concluded in my mind that he was my patient and I needed to get him out of there before he worsened his situation. But no, I can't do that. It doesn't sit well with me. Getting him out of there isn't the problem, I could handle him alone. But taking him alone meant I w

    Daniel's POVI got up from the bed, freshened up, and drank the cup of coffee that Damien gave me. The bitterness of the coffee did nothing to help the pain in my head caused by yesterday's drinking. “Today will be a long day,” I said as I rushed out of Damien's house. I drove down to my company to see how things were going. My patience was already running thin by the time I arrived at my company. I didn't respond to greetings from my staff and I practically transferred aggression to anyone who crossed my path in my companyI ignored the throbbing headache I still have from my handover, I had no time to nurse it. Frank ran after me, struggling to keep up with me. “Sir, we have rescheduled the company's monthly assessment to next week since you were not available last week,” Frank informed me reluctantly. “Move it up.” I cut him off sharply and I shot him a cold stare. “I want a report from every department within the next two hours and I don't want any excuses.” Frank swallowed

    Camilla's POVI was shocked when a strong hand suddenly held the door of the car as I was about to close it. I turned to face Daniel, and before I could say a word, he entered my car and sat beside me, and closed the door. I balled my hand into a fist, and I stared at him with disdain as he flung himself into my car as if it were his own without asking me first. Like he still has a place in my life. “Get out,” I ordered, pointing my fingers at him, my voice cut through the air, but he didn't even answer me. Instead, he watched my shaking finger that I pointed at the door. I hated how his presence had so much power over me and how he took note of every detail in my body. He leaned in towards me, close enough that I could feel his gaze swept over all my body without actually touching me. “What if I don't?” his voice was barely above a whisper, but it was steady, and it was making me even more angry. My jaw tightened. “Then I'll have Williams throw you out.” He chuckled, “You mean

    Nancy's POVI gritted my teeth as my hand still lingered on the cheeks where Camilla had slapped me, but the pain was not as intense as the fury boiling inside me. The last thing I expected Camilla to ever do after meeting her for the first time in nine years was to raise her hand and slap me. It was so unexpected.My mother-in-law, Mrs. Morrison, had told me Camilla was back, and she's the president of a big company like The Wesley Group. It doesn't make sense that the same girl we discarded years ago came back as a boss with such power in the same city and even had a child.So I went to Open Group to confirm it myself, and the moment I saw her name on the executive board list, rage consumed me. My nails almost dug into my palms as I realized how much influence she'd have on Daniel. He has spent years looking for her and has refused to marry me.He even got into an accident two years ago because of her, yet he never stopped looking for her. Daniel won't even spare me a glance since

    Camilla's POV A soft shale on my shoulder woke me up from my sleep. I blinked, opening my eyes and the first thing I saw was Jason's bright and excited face hovering over mine.“Mommy, wake up?” he said sweetly. Before I could say a word, he climbed my bed and began to tickle me.“Wake up, Mommy. It's Sunday, let's go have fun.” I groaned playfully, rolling onto his side. “Mmm…… but I like sleeping more on Sundays.” Jason pouted, then doubled on tickling me again. “Noo, We haven't had any fun since we moved back and you promised to take me out on Sunday.”I laughed, then pulled him closer to myself and tickling him in return. “Alright, alright, little boss. Where are we going?” His face brightened up instantly. “Let's go to the fun park! And Uncle Justin has to come too!” I raised an eyebrow. “Oh, so now you're even giving me conditions?” He grinned. “Yes, I already told Uncle Justin and he said yes.” I sighed but smiled. “Fine, but on one condition.”His body became calm and h

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

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,

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
