Cami's POV"We are all so thankful that Cami and the twins are fine," Kathleen said"Yeah, I was so worried about you, Cami. I am so happy you are okay,' Blaire said"I was worried about you too. When Tiara shot you, I didn't know if you were okay or not. I was so happy when Blake told me that you were fine," I said"Yeah, but we both have matching casts," Blaire said with a laugh, and I couldn't help but laugh too."Hey, you two, that is not funny. I almost lost both of my daughters," Brandon said "Wow, Camela. It looks like you are a part of the family. I am surprised that they accepted you so quickly, considering your background and all," Uncle Charles said "What," I asked"You know your background, like where you came from and who your family is," Uncle Charles said"What are you trying to say, Uncle?" Blake asked, and I could hear the anger in his voice"I am just saying what I have always told you, Blake. You two are basically from two different worlds. You are a rich CEO that
Cami's POV"I am so sorry about how Uncle Charles acted toward you and Liam. I don't know what his problem is," Blake said as we sat on the couch in the living room. We had been home from Blake's parent's house for about three hours. Liam was playing with his toys while we watched the news."You don't have to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong," I said"I just don't want anyone disrespecting you," Blake said"I honestly don't care what your uncle has to say about me. He doesn't know anything about me," I saidWe went to sleep early that night. I was happy to be home; finally, my body wrapped up in Blake's.Two Weeks Later"Welcome back to work, Cami," Ciara said and placed some papers on Blake's desk. Blake and I haven't been to work for the last two weeks. He said that after everything that happened, we needed a break. "Thank you, Ciara," I said "Maybe we can grab lunch today," Ciara said and walked out of the roomIt had been two weeks since that awkward lunch with Uncle Char
Cami's POV"What are you doing here, Uncle Charles," Blake asked "I wanted to the both of you for a moment," Uncle Charles said as he walked in and shut the door "I wanted to say that I am sorry for the way I spoke to you at dinner, Camela, and would like to take the both of you out for dinner,' Uncle Charles said, looking at me. I didn't know if I should believe him. He didn't seem like the type of person to apologize to anyone, but I didn't think he was sincere."Thank you, Uncle," Blake said"Do you accept my apology, Camela?" Uncle Charles asked. I looked at Blake to see that he was already watching me. He had a smile on his face, and I knew he believed his Uncle was genuinely sorry. "Yes, I accept your apology," I said, and I saw a smile on Uncle Charles's face. But, unfortunately, it didn't seem like a genuine smile of kindness but a cold smile. I felt he had something up his sleeve but didn't know what."Great, will the two of you be able to meet me for dinner at the Italian
Blake's POV"I always knew that you would become a great man, Blake," Grace said "Thanks," I replied. I was surprised to see Grace here after all these years. I walked over with her just to say hello to Cassi and then come back to Cami, but then Grace started asking me for advice about opening a hotel which turned into a fifteen-minute discussion."Well, I should get back to," I started to say, but Grace cut me off"You are so hot, Blake. When your Uncle told me to come to the restaurant tonight, I didn't know you would be here, but I am happy you were. I have missed you," she said, then jumped on me and put her lips to mine. I was shocked at what was happening but quickly gained myself and pushed her off of me. "Grace, what are you doing?" I asked"I am sorry. I just thought that you were feeling me, too," Grace said"Grace, I am in a relationship, and I am not interested in anyone but Camela," I said and then turned to see if Cami saw what had just happened, but she was not at th
Blaire's POV"Camela told me to let you know that she doesn't need a ride from you but thinks for bringing her over here," I said, trying to keep a mile on my face. I didn't like Ciara. There was something off about her, and I didn't trust that girl."Are you sure because she told me she needed me to take her home?" Ciara asked "I am positive. Cami is fine," I said "I would like to hear that from Cami," Ciara said, and her phone began to ring. She looked at it and then pressed ignore just for it to ring again."Are you going to get that?" I asked"It can wait. Can you please get Cami?" She asked, and I could hear the annoyance in her voice. Then, before I could answer her, Cami walked out of the door."Hey, Ciara, I am going to stay with Blaire tonight. I am sorry for keeping you," Cami said "Are you sure? I can take you home," Ciara said "She said she is staying with me," I said, and Ciara looked at me "Yeah, I am fine but thank you," Cami said with a smile. Ciara's phone began
Blake's POV "You seem sad. Would you like me to make it all the better for you?" The bartender asked while leaning down for me to get a good look at her red bra. Before Cami, I would have taken her up on her offer, but now the only woman I wanted was Cami. No other woman could ever take her place. " I am good, just get me another scotch," I said as I drank the remainder of my drink. "Are you sure you don't want me to help," she said "I said just get me another scotch," I practically growled "Fine, it is your loss," she said and went to make my drink "Do you think it is a good idea for you to be here?" I heard my father say as he sat next to me "I needed a drink. Today has been a messed up day," I said The bartender came back and placed my drink in front of me. I could tell she was upset that I turned her down, but I could care less. "Do you want to talk about it, son?" "I feel like my past keeps coming back and biting me in the ass," I said "Yeah, I told you not to mess
Cami's POV"Are you sure you want to go to work today?" Blaire asked. I had been staying with her for the last three days. So after Blake came over early in the morning and Grace told me that she was the one that kissed him, but he quickly turned her down, I was relieved. However, I still felt like he was at fault for what happened because he went and sat with her and her friend for over twenty minutes without sparing me a glance. So even if she was the one that kissed him and if she was asking him for advice on owning a business doesn't make what he did right. "Yes, I am going to work. Why wouldn't I?" I asked"I just thought you wanted some time to yourself without seeing Blake. Are you finally done with punishing him?' Blaire asked"I am not punishing him, Blaire. He just needs to see that what he did was wrong. I am not going to be pushed to the side every time he sees an old girlfriend," I said"Hey, I am on your side, Girl. I don't think he meant to hurt or push you to the side
Blake's POV "This isn't the way I imagined doing this when I bought this ring last week, but I think this is the right time. Camelia Davis, will you make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me?" I said and waited for her answer. Cami began looking around the room, and then she did the one thing that I didn't expect her to doShe ran out of the Cafeteria. Everyone that was in the Cafeteria gasped in surprise. Blaire walked over to me and hit me in the arm."What was that for?' I asked "You just had a big argument and Cami, and then you proposed to her in front of all these people. You know she isn't the type of girl that wants everyone in her business. You probably embarrassed her. And she most likely thinks you only asked so she would forgive you. She probably doesn't think you truly want to marry her," Blaire said "But I do want to marry her, Blaire," I said honestly. I was planning on proposing to Cami soon but was trying to figure out the perfect time. Then the whole thin
EpilogueCami's POV"Are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to," Blake said"Yes, I am sure. I know you are worried about me, but I need to do this, Blake," I said. Blake looked at me for a while before replying,"Okay, then let's go inside," Blake said, and they walked into the hospital room. Veronica was lying on the bed, and when she saw Blake, she began to smile, but when her eyes met mine, her smile turned into a frown. "What are you doing here? I know, you are here to brag about winning my man," Veronica said"That is not why I am here," I replied"Oh, please. We both know you came to rub in my face that you won. We both know that Blake would have returned to me if you didn't do this to me," Veronica said, pointing to her legs. After I accidentally shot her, she became paralyzed. I felt terrible for her becoming paralyzed and felt I was partly to blame, but I knew it wasn't my fault. She was trying to kill me, and she would have if I didn't take the gun."I am not hap
Blake's POV"You should know better than to trespass on someone else's property. Why would your friends tell you to do that?" My dad asked the teenage boy. "I am sorry. My friends didn't tell me to come to your property. Some lady gave me one hundred dollars to go by the house," the boy replied, making me look at him."What did the woman look like?" I asked worriedly. Before he could answer me, I heard a gunshot. I looked at my dad, and he was already looking at me. The sound came from the house, and I quickly ran to the house with my dad and James running behind me.We walked into the house and made our way to the kitchen to see my mom standing over Blaire with the phone in her hand."She took Cami, "My mom said, and I ran out of the house. I already knew who she was talking about. "Cami," I called. "Come back here," I heard the voice of the woman that I hated with all of my heart. Veronica. I ran towards her voice and heard a gunshot. I looked up to see Veronica aiming for someon
Cami's POV"What the fuck do you mean she escaped? How the fuck could this happen?" Blake growled"Blake, please, calm down," I said, placing my hand on his chest. He looked at me and took a deep breath. I could tell he was worried about her escaping. I was worried about Veronica escaping the mental hospital and was sure she would come to Blake and my home. She truly believed she was Blake's soulmate and that I was a witch that cast a spell on him. "How did she escape?" I asked"She seduced one of the workers at the institution. She convinced him to help her escape so they could be together. We found him in the parking lot dead. She shot him twice, once in the chest and then in the head. After that, she took his car. We are doing everything to find her.""Thank you, officers. I am sure you are doing your best," I replied"It would be best for you not to stay here. We are not sure what Veronica is planning, but she is most likely coming to get what she believes is hers, and she believe
Cami's POV I woke up to the sound of beeping sounds. When I opened my eyes, I saw I was in a hospital. I looked over to see Blake asleep and sitting on a chair next to me, holding my hand. I moved my hand, which caused his eyes to open. "Cami, your awake," Blake said. "The babies, are they alright?" I asked, looking at my stomach. "They are fine, Cami. They are in the NICU and doing great. The Doctors said they want to keep an eye on them because you had them a little early. My mom and dad are in there with them right now," Blake said "I want to see them," I said and began to sit up on the bed, but Blake stopped me. "Okay, but you need to stay lying down. Let me page the nurse to let them know you are up," He said and pressed the call button. A lady answered on the other end. "Can you please send a Doctor in right away? My wife has woken up," Blake said "Of course. I will let the Doctor know, and the Doctor will be there shortly," The lady replied. "Thank you," Blake replie
Cami's POV"What are you doing, Charles? You need to leave," Brandon said. All the guests had already got up and ran out of the backyard, leaving only Blake, his parents, Blaire, James, and me in the backyard. "I am sorry, brother, but I am not going anywhere. Not after everything you and you're son took from me," Uncle Charles said. Uncle Charle looked to see Blake pull me close to him protectively. "You see that, Veronica? The way he is so protective of her. How does it make you feel knowing the man you love was playing with your feeling?" Uncle Charles asked"How could you do this to me, Blake? You are mine, but you let this poor bitch trick you into marrying her. I bet she did something to get pregnant, so you would have to be with her," Veronica said. I could tell by the way she spoke that she was not in her right mind.""Veronica, I was never yours, to begin with. You know, We weren't even in a relationship. I told you that I didn't do relationships, Remember?" Blake asked"But
Cami's POVI woke up to an empty bed. It is Blake and my wedding day, and I am both excited and nervous. Blake's mom and dad showed up at eleven to get Blake out of the house before midnight. His mom believed it was bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the wedding. So Blaire and Kathleen ended up spending the night in guest bedrooms. Blake had taken Liam with him last night. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower. Once I was finished, I walked out of the room, knowing that if I didn't, Kathleen would soon knock on my bedroom door. I walked into the kitchen to see Kathleen cooking breakfast while Blaire sat at the table. "Good morning, Cami," Blaire said as I sat next to her"Morning," I replied"Today is the big day. Are you nervous?" Blaire asked"A little," I replied. "You have nothing to be nervous about, sweetheart. My son is going to make you the happiest woman in the world," Kathleen said as she handed me a plate of food."I know," I said."W
Blake's POVI quickly walked into my dad's office. I couldn't believe one hundred million dollars was missing from my company. It was evident that someone intentionally took it, and I needed to figure out who it was."Dad," I said as I opened the door"What's wrong, son?" he asked"I need to get to the office. Apparently, someone has stolen more than one hundred million dollars from the business," I said"What? Who could have done that? I am coming with you," My father said. I returned to the dining room, where Cami talked with my mom and Sandra. She looked happy as they talked about the wedding. "Hey, Princess. Dad and I have to go to the office to take care of something," I said as I walked over to her."Is everything alright?" She asked"Yes, there is an important client that needs help with something," I said so she wouldn't worry."You go ahead, son. Cami and I have to go to the dress shop to have them do her measurements for the wedding dress," My mom said "Yeah, I am sure the
Blake's POV"I think we have everything in order. I will make sure the contract is sent to your office by tomorrow morning," I said "Thank you, Mr. Mitchell. I am happy that you have chosen to invest in my company," Mr. Jacob's said as he shook my hand."No problem. Now, if you will excuse me, I have somewhere I have to be," I replied"Of course. I never told you congratulations on your upcoming wedding," "Thank you. I have to go meet my fiance now for cake tasting," I said"Oh, yes, the cake tasting. You can't be late for that," he said with a laugh"You are right. I will talk to you soon," I replied and headed for my car. "You are right on time. Sandra just arrived with the cakes. They are in the dining room," My dad said as soon as I walked into my parent's house."Thanks, dad,"; I said and headed to the dining room. After I made the mistake of hiring Kimberly, my mom offered to hire one of her good friends, a wedding planner named Sandra, and Cami happily agreed. I couldn't bel
Two Weeks LaterCami's POV"You look so beautiful in that dress, Cami," Blaire said "I have to agree with Blaire. I believe this is the one," Kathleen added"Me too. I really like it," I replied. Kathleen, Blaire, and I were dress shopping for Blake and My wedding."I can't believe the two of you are getting married in a month," Blaire said"I am happy that they aren't waiting. Yeah, we have a lot of work to get done in a short time, but they are meant to be. Why should they wait?" Kathleen said"I didn't say I'm not happy. I just said its quick," Blaire replied"We didn't want to wait. I am ready to be married to him, and the babies will be here soon," I replied"When are you meeting with Kimberly?" Kathleen asked. Kimberly was a wedding planner that went to school with Blaire and Blake. We decided that hiring a wedding planner would make planning for the wedding easier."Later on today. We are supposed to go by her office at six," I replied"I am keeping Liam for them while they go
