Daniel's POVThe 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

Camilla's POVSeeing my ex-mother-in-law together with my son and witnessing my son enjoying their conversation made me angry. 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. And seeing them act this way makes me think of a way to make them pay dearly for everything they did to me.After leaving the school's hall with Jason, I knew I couldn't just let this go.Mrs. Morrison had no right to be anywhere near my son, much less speak to him in my absence. My blood was still boiling at the thought of her whispering in

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

Camilla’s POVI paced the room, running a hand through my already scattered hair before I turned to face her again. “What’s going on, Mom? Did you already know that I’m your mother? 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

Camilla’s POVWhy is he here again? I mused inwardly, quickly hiding the file on my table and also hiding the the frustration in my eyes.“I thought you’ve gone, Daniel. 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,

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
