The CEO's Boss Lady Ex-wife Chapter 44
Camilla's POVJustin and I stared at each other at his words, imagining what exactly Daniel is trying to do. I met Daniel's intense gaze with a small knowing smile. “Thanks, but no, Mr. Caspian,” My voice was smooth, laced with mockery.Daniel's eyes turned dark, his tone icy as he kept his gaze on me. I tilted my head slightly. “Actually, sitting here with you will be uncomfortable.” I looked around the table, then back at him. “I don't want anyone to think I am disturbing their familiar territory.”Daniel's fingers balled into a fist, but he still tried to remain calm. I didn't wait for him to speak again before I walked away with Justin. We went to another table and sat there with other guests.I looked around, looking for any sign of Nancy and her parents, but they were nowhere around. Did Damien not invite Nancy?I was sure that if Nancy got an invitation to attend, she would definitely come with her parents because it's an event that has almost all the rich people In the city

Daniel's POV.What did she just say? Did I hear her correctly? My heart pounded heavily in my heart as Camilla's words sank in. Is this finally going to happen? Will I finally get to play and talk to my son like a father to a child? I ask myself because I was confused.I met Camilla's gaze, searching for any sign of hesitation, but she seemed to be lost in her thoughts, as her expression was shifting between anger and regret. What's going on? Is she going to say no again? I feared what she would say even when she hadn't opened her mouth. My heart skipped a beat at that thought.“Can I really come and take Jason?” I asked again; my voice was barely above a whisper as it sounded somehow even in my mouth because I knew I didn't deserve it. But she didn't answer me. Instead, she raked her hand through her hair. It was very clear that she is angry. I approached her and gave her a hug without saying anything. My body experienced a surge of feelings, including happiness, desperation, and d

Camilla's POVI left Daniel after saying all the things I had in my mind and walked back to the car to meet Justin. I could feel the weight of everything pressing heavily on me. I wonder why we kept repeating the same thing, over and over again.My mind was racing with different thoughts as I returned back to my car. But, even though I am angry with Daniel, I am still happy because I was able to speak my mind and crush his expectations. Did he really expect Jason to warm up to him after everything my child has been through? I was completely torn on the day Jason told me that his friends mocked him for having only a Mommy and for not having both father and mother. I can't even imagine how Jason felt on days when he was sick and needed a fatherly love without one. He will have to cling to Justin to get the love his father was supposed to give him. He now wants to claim a child he didn't invest anything into as he's just a sperm donor and there's nothing anyone could do. What a waste of

Camilla's POVAfter the whole drama that unfolded the previous day, I went to my mother's room to see if I could talk to her, but I ended up sleeping in her room. She was already sleeping when I entered her room, but I just didn't want to be alone; I wanted to speak to someone, anyone, and have my burden lifted.Justin, the one person I could talk to, has just confessed his feelings to me and it just complicates things between us. The only thing I could do when I entered her room and saw that she was sleeping was to climb up to her bed and sleep beside her. It was the most comforting thing ever.I remember how Lady Wesley took care of me when I gave birth to Jason and had complications. She took care of me like she was my mother; she left her work and followed me to another city where she hasn't lived before. She would specifically cook my food by herself instead of getting the maids I employed to do it. She would sleep beside me so she could help with Jason in the middle of the nigh

Camilla’s POVMy day ended well and earlier than I thought, so I went down to Oasis Hotel, where Mrs. Albrecht had requested we meet.The hotel is a well-known spot for business dinners and for seminars, so it's usually filled with high-end people, a place she chose probably because she wants to leave an impression on me. And even though I don't have enough time to dress as I would love to, I was glad I wore a well-tailored wine color suit today, with a pair of nude shoes, and matched it with my confidence. I arrived at exactly 6:50 and sat on the seat she sent to me as the reservation she made. I was determined to leave if she didn't arrive at ten past seven, but she arrived before seven. Mrs. Albrecht still looked the same as ever; beautiful and aging well. She wore a black flared gown, and she still had her short, wavy curls. She gasped when she saw me, but she tried concealing it. Her eyes swept over my body as if she were studying my attire, my sitting posture, and my body. “

Daniel's POVI spent the past few days thinking about how to make things right with Jason and Camilla. I know I deeply hurt the two most important people In my life at the moment and I'm still clueless about how to make them forgive me. Camilla's words kept ringing in my heart, and it was getting me scared about how I would answer Jason if he asked why I abandoned him and didn't come for him when he needed me. What if he truly rejects me? What will I do? How can I apologize and make things right with him? I am totally clueless about the solution. For the past five days now, I have been hanging around my own company like someone who had come to steal. Once I get to work, I will begin to walk around the building like someone who lost something and was looking for it. I couldn't even hold a proper meeting, and I canceled most meetings I had outside work. I know my staff has been looking at me and wondering why I am doing this. What they didn’t know is that I am lost and have become s

Daniel's POVIt's Saturday morning and I have a really long day today. I am very anxious about how my meeting with Jason would go, but I have decided to face him, no matter what he might say.I remember our conversation about how he would love to play hand throws as a professional in the future, so I did not sleep throughout the night because I was busy watching and practicing some hand-throwing game videos.I wanted to know a few things about it and learn how to play it since Jason said he likes it. At least that will be a great start to our friendship. I thought. I took the day off just to spend the day with Jason. I prepared and got ready early because I also wanted to meet Camilla at home and let her give Jason to me by herself. I arrived at the Wesley mansion gate by 8:30am. As expected, the compound blew my mind away when I entered. I have seen many rich people's houses, but this was different; I haven't seen a house that is like this. The iron gates opened by themselves aft

Daniel's POVI drove out of the Wesley mansion for about ten minutes before I parked beside the road. My mind was beating very fast as I thought of the perfect place I could take Jason to. I want him to have fun on our first outing together, even though he still hasn't acknowledged me as his Daddy. I also don't want to take him home yet because my mother might come to my house at any time and I don't want her to complicate things for me. I parked by the roadside, then turned to face Jason with a smile on my face. “Where do you want us to go, little man?”Jason shifted his gaze away from his iPad for a second and met my gaze. It looked as if he was shocked, but he quickly turned back to what he was doing without answering me. His silence made my heart sink.I cleared my throat and tried again. "We can visit the zoo or an amusement park; if you would like, we can also get ice cream. Or what do you think?”He did not answer, instead, he continued to tap on the screen of his ipad, his ey

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
The CEO's Boss Lady Ex-wife chapter 132
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
