Camilla's POV“Good morning, Dr Wesley,” one of the directors greeted me as I entered the board room. “Good morning,” I nodded as I sit down on my table. The board of directors and other executives have a meeting this morning and I will be leading the meeting since my mother, Lady Wesley, has stepped down and I have taken over as the president of the group. While we were seated, waiting for other doctors and directors to join us, the older director, Dr. Allen Carter, approached me just as I took my seat. She smiled warmly and leaned closer to me on her chair. “I have wanted to speak with you about my child,” she said, her voice calm but serious. “Though it's more like a favor that I need from you.”“Hmm, what is that?” I said, curious about what she wanted to say.“I wanted to speak to you about my son, Ethan.”I raised my brow, “Your son?”“Yes.” she chuckled. “He has been reading a lot about you for some time now. Your story about how you went from an orphan to becoming one of t
Camilla's POVWhy would the school director want to see me? The question kept ringing in my head. Ms. Adams confirms that Jason is fine, but does it mean he has caused a problem? I calmed myself since Jason was fine and drove down to the school. I arrived at the school after a forty-five-minute drive, and I saw Ms. Adams as soon as I entered.“Good morning, Dr. Wesley.” she greeted”.“Morning Ms. Adams. Where is Jason?” “He's In the class. Their arts and crafts teacher is with them to monitor their work,” she said, staring at me to see the worried expression on my face. “I will take you to the director’s office,” she said, gesturing to the way while I followed behind.My mind still wasn’t at rest even though she assured me that Jason was fine; I still felt like something was wrong because I wouldn’t have guessed why the school director wanted to see me. Upon entering the office, I was met with the presence of two people sitting down in the office. A woman who appeared to also be a
Camilla’s POVJason’s body suddenly became limb in the hands of his classmates; his small body collapsed on the ground, and I watched as they all shouted and called his name. The moment felt like a dream that was unfolding in slow motion to me. My heart pounded heavily, it was so loud that I didn’t hear the sound of the children that were shouting as they surrounded Jason. I could not even leave where i was standing, fear gripped me, but the sight of Jason’s pale face snapped me out of it.“Jason!” I exclaimed as I rushed towards him, my hands were shaking as I knelt down beside him. His lips had turned pale, and his skin was cold. He was bragging very slow, it was as if he wasn't breathing at all, as if he had stopped. I was a doctor who had handled countless emergency cases, but at that moment, when I was looking at my son lying unconscious, it made me afraid as if I was not a doctor, as if I had not handled a case like that before. I was a terrified mother, looking at her son as h
Camilla’s POV“You are Fired.” These are the three words my supervisor told me as I entered her office this morning.My breath caught in my throat, I stood there shocked, staring at the letter she threw at me.Fired? How?“I'm sorry, ma’am, please, I am just ten minutes late. The traffic was unbearable…..” I tried explaining but she cut me off sharply.“Enough! You are always making excuses, Camilla. The CEO approves of this because he's tired of hearing different complaints from you every time you are rebuked, so get out.” I tried begging her again, but It seemed pointless trying to explain myself because she was not listening. Besides, hearing her mention the CEO got me even more upset. Without another word, I turned and walked out of her office, my heart pounded with anger and disbelief. I can’t think straight, not after the morning I was having, not after receiving a video of my husband having sex with an unknown woman. I’ve been hearing rumors that my husband has been dating
Camilla’s POVA few staff members saw me crying as I fled the premises of the company but I couldn't care less about their glances or gossip that spread about me being fired.I was totally disorganized and my heart pounded heavily and I could barely hold my phone without shaking. I thought of going back home, but I couldn't. I don't want to see anyone, especially my mother-in-law who complains about everything I do. I booked a taxi and went back to my parent's house. I needed to speak with someone, and there was only one person in my mind; my mother. Only she can understand and judge the matter without taking sides.As I entered our compound, I heard people laughing loudly in our living room, which made me angry. But as I entered, I met my parents and Nancy laughing, gisting, and enjoying drinks while I was feeling hurt and betrayed by my sister and husband. Seeing Nancy sent a chill down my spine.“Nancy?” I yelled, my voice shaking. “How dare you sleep with my husband?” I yell
Camilla’s POVI went back to Daniel’s house to pack my things with tears streaming down my face. Even though I had made up my mind, I was still hurting from their betrayal.Most of the things I have are just clothes I took in from three years ago except the ones that I bought when I started working at Azal company. There was no single thing about me that could tell people that I married a wealthy man because nothing about me looks rich. Daniel never gave me anything in our marriage, not even a gift all through, but I kept enduring it, thinking he would reciprocate my feelings one day.But as I was going, I left the most pricey treasured gift I had ever bought in my life for him and a note for Daniel in a place where he could easily find it to wish him a final goodbye.I stepped out of the house with no particular place in mind. I was only 18 back then, so I had no friends I could call because they were all in the universities, busy becoming someone great in life, while I was forced
Daniel’s POV“What? You divorced your wife?” Came from Damien Millers, my best friend. He was shocked.I gave Damien a side-eye look that made him quickly reduce his voice. “Keep it low, guy; Nancy is here!” We looked around to see if Nancy wasn't coming because she had gone to use the toilet as soon as we entered the club.I gulped down a glass of hard liquor as the waiter brought the glasses and filled it up. Nancy and I went straight to the club as soon as we were done with her parents. I had called Damien to meet me up at our usual spot earlier, and I didn't think that Nancy would follow me. Damien and I are best friends; our fathers were also friends before my father died, so we have literally done everything together since childhood, and he knows everything about me. “I can't believe you, Daniel. How can you be this reckless?” “What do you mean? I married Camilla because I wanted a child for my sick mother; she would have died without ever seeing her grandchild if not for
Camilla’s POVNine Years later I just landed at Sun City airport after nine years with my son, Jason. I held my son’s hand in one hand and held my designer bag in the second hand. Jason couldn't hold back his excitement that we were returning to Sun City; his bright eyes scanned everything around us, and he kept jumping around as we headed towards the welcome back lobby. I never thought of returning to Sun City because I have built a small hospital in Emerald City, where I was coming from, and it has started to grow. All thanks to my new mother.Nine years ago when Lady Caroline Wesley saved me from dying on the streets, I was a broken woman, ready to give up everything, but she saved me and gave me a second chance at life. She adopted me without hesitation, registered me as her daughter, and took me to another country where I could begin my life again.Throughout my pregnancy period, Lady Wesley nursed me back to health. She made sure I had everything I needed even though I doubt

Daniel’s POV : I turned to face Nancy, my face dark with fury. “Have I just entered into your coven?”Nancy’s eyes widened in pretense as if she didn’t just ruin my chances with Camilla and cause a big backlash in my company and even make people insult Camilla. How can Nancy be this manipulative and wicked to trick me into doing this? All hell will be let loose if this meeting turns out to be fake, too, because I will make sure she will regret it.“What are you talking about, Daniel?” she asked, her voice laced with shock.I clenched my jaw, my grip tightening on my phone as I almost threw the phone in her face. “Is this not the mess you just created for me?” I spat, “You made me believe that this is a partnership with M&K Internationals whereas you were planning to release photos of us together, all because you want the public to sympathize with you. Have you suddenly forgotten who I am? Do you think doing this will make me spare you a second glance or leave Camilla alone and marry
Daniel's POV “What does she want again?” I muttered as my phone beeped with a notification and it turned out to be Nancy. What else does she want? I have told her countless times to stop contacting me but she did not hear. Is it until she destroys what I am trying to build before she stops? I pushed the phone aside and didn’t bother to check the message she sent. Five minutes later, my phone beeped again, but it was a call from an unknown number. I picked it up swiftly since I was expecting a call from an investor, thinking he was calling with his personal number. “Good afternoon, Mr….” I hadn't completed the sentence before I was cut off. “Mr. Carlson, the CEO of M&K International company, wants to do business with you,” she said, she was panting heavily as if this was the last opportunity she would have to speak with me. “What exactly do you think you are doing, Nancy?” I yelled angrily, angry that she tricked me into answering her call.“I know you wouldn’t have answered my
Nancy's pOVIt's the beginning of a new week and I have decided to make good use of the week to get what I want. I know Daniel won’t give me what I want easily, so, I will also make use of the card that I have in my hand to get what I want from him.I freshened up, got prepared, and left the house. I adjusted my blazer and took a deep breath to steady myself before I walked into the modern office building. The glass city walls show the city lights, and the air smelled of fresh coffee and polished wood as I entered the building.As a medical Business Consultant and researcher, the last time I was in this place was one year ago, but I had to come here for a purpose, which is because I need a favor from the CEO of M&K International Company. He owed me a favor, and I am ready to use it, though I didn't call the CEO before coming, I hope I will be able to see him.I approached the receptionist and said, "Good afternoon. I am here to see Mr. Carlson."She smiled, nodding her head, “Do you
Daniel’s POV“Congratulations, man, we got the contract!” Damien said, stretching his hand to shake me as I entered the bar. “Wow! That is good.” I said with excitement as I located a seat. "I guess it is double joy for me then," I remarked as I glanced around the bar and noticed that, aside from the bartender, who was busy cleaning and rearranging the bar in anticipation of customers, it was just Damien and me inside. Damien seemed not to hear what I said because he was sending a message. “Emm, what did you say earlier?” Damien asked. “I think I just won the jackpot, man,” I said, with a smile on my face as I sat beside Damien at our usual bar. “Why, what’s going on, dude?” Damien asks curiously. He shakes the glass of wine in his hand as he turns to gaze at me.“I just had lunch with Camilla and Jason, and I have a good feeling about it. I think Camilla and I will be coming back together soon, it seems she grew tired of fighting me.”Damien chuckled, shaking his head. “What exac
Daniel’s POV My heart almost jumped out from how happy I felt when Jason suddenly asked if we could eat together. I was completely stunned and it was unexpected. Is this boy trying to fulfill the promise he made to me about bringing his mom and me together? I ask myself.The last time I met Jason, he asked if I still love his mom and I said yes, which is actually correct, because I still love her, but I didn't expect that things would turn out this way and that there would be an opportunity to meet very soon and even eat together as a family.Well, maybe not as a family to Camilla, but we are a family to me, and I hope something more than this will come out of our dinner together. I watched as Camilla’s gaze suddenly changed into something disappointing from the rearview glass of my car. She felt disappointed in Jason for asking that we eat together and there was also a flicker of wanting to do everything he wanted for him in Camilla’s eyes, while Jason’s eyes were beaming with anti
Camilla's POV.“This is your phone ma'am,” Lisa said as she handed me my phone. I had given her my phone as I entered the office earlier so she could help charge it.“Thanks, Lisa,” I said, feeling excited about the weekend. “I better change out of my scrubs and head back home to meet Jason. It's the weekend and I promised to take him to the zoo.”“Ohh, that's nice, Dr. Wesley. The boy must be really proud to have you as his mother. How is he doing?” she said, chuckling. I giggled at her words. “My son is doing fine, and I am glad that he is my son and I'm proud of him. I am going to take him out to the zoo for the weekend, I promised him.” I said, still smiling as I walked to my office and prepared to go home.“Oh, alright then, we will see later.” My phone rang almost immediately, and Martha, Jason's nanny’s name, flashed on the screen. I felt a strange cold in my body, causing goosebumps to fill my body. “Ms. Camilla,” she shouted into the phone as I answered. Her voice filled w
