"I have a younger brother that I am responsible for. He will come with me if I move because I am all he has left. My best friend lives with us too. She will be the one that babysits him for me when I am at work. I don't know if other people are allowed to move into the homes that the company provides," I said
"You are allowed to bring family to the home, and your friend will also be able to come. A daycare is nearby just in case you would like to look into it. Do you accept my offer, Miss. Davis,"
"Yes,"
Camela's POV
"Great! "Let's go," Mr. Mitchell said.
"Where are we going?" I asked, confused.
"I want to show you your new house, and you need to get a car," he explained.
I got to my feet and followed him out of his office. A woman with blond hair approached him, smiling. She dressed in a short dress that made her look like she was going to a club rather than work. She yanked his tie and leaned her body on his. I could feel myself becoming annoyed by how close she was to him. I instantly didn't like her. I didn't understand why I was feeling like that because I had no right to. He was my boss, not my boyfriend.
"Hi, sir. I need to talk to you about something in your office," she said, licking her lips seductively.
"He pushed her off of him, causing her to almost fall on the floor. I couldn't hold back my smile, happy that he rejected her advances toward him.
"I have something that I need to do. If you have anything you need to discuss, please get in touch with your manager," Blake said.
She looked at me with an evil expression on her face. Then, Mr. Mitchell surprised me by wrapping his hand around my waist and pulling my body close to his. I knew I should have felt uncomfortable, but I didn't. Instead, I felt my body relax into his.
"Come on, Miss Davis," Blake said, leading me to the elevator.
We walked to an elevator that I knew was his personal elevator. He pressed the button with the G on it, and we ended up in the parking garage. He went right to a car that was in front of the elevator. It was a new black BMW. He opened the passenger side door for me, and I got in.
"Thank you," I said, and he smiled at me before going to the driver's side. I put on my seatbelt, and he drove out of the parking garage and onto the road. He drove for about twenty minutes and then turned into a housing addition that I knew was too expensive. Finally, he parked in a two-story house's driveway and exited the car.
He came over to my side and opened my door.
"Let's go see your new home," he said.
"You can't be serious," I replied, looking at him, surprised. This place was way too expensive."
"I am serious. Come on," he said, placing his hand out for me to take.
I took his hand and let him help me out of the car.
I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my lips when he opened the door to the house. I saw a big family room when we first entered. It had a big kitchen, a dining room, a bathroom, and a laundry room. Every room was fully furnished.
There was a door leading to the backyard. I saw a wooden deck with a barbeque grill when I opened it. There was a big fenced-in backyard.
"Let's go look upstairs," Blake said and led me upstairs, taking my hand.
When we walked upstairs, there was a long hallway.
"These two rooms are the smaller bedrooms," Blake said, and we looked at them.
They looked big to me compared to my room at my house," I thought.
"Let me show you the master bedroom," He said with a smile.
When we walked inside, the room was huge. It had a king-sized bed, a balcony, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub and shower. I looked over at him to see him already looking at me.
"So, what do you think?" He asked.
"It is nice. Too nice, Mr. Mitchell. I can't afford this," I said.
"It comes with your job. No payment required," he said
"Come, we have more to do," he said, and we returned to his car.
He opened the passenger door for me, and I got in the car. He went to the driver's side and started the car.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"I told you we needed to pick up your new car at the car lot,"he said and started driving towards my new car.
Camela's POV"This is way too much, Mr. Mitchell," I said, pushing the cartWhile we were on our way to the car lot, Mr. Mitchell decided to stop at Target. Saying that, I needed some stuff for the new house."No, it's not. You and Liam need new things for your new home," He said"Don't you think it is inappropriate for you to be shopping with me?" I asked"No, I don't see how that is inappropriate," He said"Mr. Mitchell," I started but was cut off"There is nothing wrong with me taking you to the store and helping you pick out a few items for your new home. After this, we still have to pick out your car," He said"But you are my boss," He said"Exactly, I am the boss, and what I say goes. So don't worry about anyone else. They won't say anything to disrespect you, or they will have to deal with me," he said. I could tell that he was serious."And the name is Blake,""Excuse me,""My name is Blake. Enough of that, Mr. Mitchell nonsense. You don't ever have to call me that," He saidI
Camela's POV"What would you like to eat, Liam," Blake askedHe had taken us to the fair since it was that time of the year."I'm not hungry. I want to play," Liam said, causing me to smile"Okay, let us go play them. We will be back, ladies," Blake said as he took him over to one of the kiddie rides"You are so lucky," Tiara said"What are you talking about?" I asked "You know what I am talking about, Cami. That hot CEO billionaire has the hots for you," She said"No, he doesn't. He is my boss and is friendly,""You and I both know that is a bunch of bullshit. I think he likes you more than likes you," She said."He hardly knows me. How can he more than like me?" I asked"I don't know, but I am telling you that he does," She said We sat for a while until Blake returned to our table with Liam. He had a big bag of blue cotton candy. "Liam, you are going to be sticky now. Let me see," I said and took the bag away from him."I think your sister is right, little man. You need to eat so
Camela's POV"How do I look?" I asked Tiara as I made my way into the kitchen."Better than the outfit you had on yesterday. I still think you can lose a few inches of your skirt. You do have a CEO boyfriend," She said with a smirk on her face."He is not my boyfriend. He is my boss," I said"For now," she replied"I have to go to work. See you later," I said and kissed Liam on his cheek."Bye, Liam," I said and headed outside. When I got outside, I was surprised to see a Limo parked in my driveway. Two men that looked like security guards were standing outside of the Limo. The driver stepped out of the driver's seat when I walked out. I remembered him from one of the men that worked for Blake."Ms. Davis, Mr. Mitchell sent me to pick you up for work," He said "That is unnecessary. I can drive myself to work," I said"I am sorry, mam, bosses orders," He saidI picked up my phone and called Blake. He had saved his number on my phone earlier when we were at Target shopping yesterday.
Blake's POV"Have a seat," I told Camela as we arrived at my office.She seemed to hesitate but finally sat on the chair across from me. I noticed that she wouldn't look at me. Instead, she kept looking everywhere but in my direction. I put my hand on hers and could feel that warm feeling that I only think from her touch."I am sorry about what happened out there. I promise it won't happen again," I said, and she looked at me."You have nothing to apologize to me for, Mr. Mitchell. I just work for you," She said"That is not true, and you know it," I said"What do you mean?" She asked "There is something that I need to tell you. It may sound crazy, but I promise it is all true," I said, looking deep into her eye."I'm listening," She said, staring back at me."Well, there is a myth in my family. Everyone in my family will receive a soulmate one day," I said, and she looked at me, confused."Okay, a myth about soulmates. What does that mean that you all find your true love or somethin
Camela's POV"Is there anything else you need me to do, Mr. Mitchell?" I asked I was sitting at my desk bored for almost two hours. Whenever I asked if he needed anything, he would tell me no."No, everything is fine at the moment, and my name is Blake to you," He said "I am sure there is something I can do," I said"No, I am almost done here. In a minute, we can get some lunch. Are you hungry?" He askedI was hungry but didn't want to complain. I had hardly done any work besides setting some appointments. I felt like I wasn't doing my job right."I'm not hungry," I said, and he looked over at me."You are lying. I know you are hungry," He said and then stood out of his chair and grabbed his suit jacket."Come on. It's time for lunch," He said and held his hand out for me to hold.I hesitated for a minute but finally placed my hand in his, feeling tingles all over my hand where he touched. We walked to his private elevator and got in. Once we were on the ground floor, everyone watch
Camela's POV "Did you like the food, sir," The waitress asked She has been coming to our table nonstop the whole time we have been here to flirt with Blake. All I wanted to do was beat the shit out of her. She was acting like I wasn't even there. "Yes, the food was good. We will take the check now," Blake said "I am so happy you liked it. I hope you will come back soon," She said and placed her hand on his shoulder. "He said he wants the check," I growled. She looked over at me for the first time. "Sure, I will get that for you," She said and walked away. My hands were bald in fists. It was taking a lot for me not to cuss her out. I looked over at Blake, who had a smile on his face. "What?" I asked "I guess you do feel it," He said "Feel what?" I asked "Our bond, deep down, you know that we are meant to be," He said, and I rolled my eyes. "How am I going to believe that when everywhere we go, someone is flirting with you," I said. He placed his hand in mine and I could fee
Camela's POV "What do you mean he told you that you two are soulmates?" Tiara asked "Exactly what I said. He said that we are soulmates and that everyone in his family has a soulmate," I replied After my conversation with Blake and our visit to the house that he said was ours, I told him I needed to think about everything and asked him to take me home. I felt overwhelmed after he asked me to move in with him. I didn't know him, and even though I felt a connection with him. I still had responsibilities. The most important one being my brother. I was all he had, and even though Blake said he wanted to take care of him, too, I still didn't know if it was a good idea to move in with him. "What did you say?" She asked "That I needed time to think," I told her "Girl, if it were me, I would have hurried up and moved in with him," She said "You don't have a three-year-old to take care of. I can't just pack my bags and move in with him. I don't know him," I said "I guess you are right,
Camela's POV"You look sexy, girl. I am jealous," Tiara said"Thanks, T," I replied"Where is he taking you anyway?" Tiara asked as I sat by Liam, putting on his shoesWe were waiting for Blake to pick us up. He had texted and said that he was ten minutes away."Blake said we are eating at his parent house," I replied"Are you nervous?""A little. Blakes's parents are sophisticated and rich. I am just an ordinary girl," I said honestly."You have nothing to be worried about, Cami. You are a great person, and they should like you for you," Tiara saidThere was a knock at the door, and I couldn't help but become nervous. "I will get the door. Just calm down and stop over, thinking okay," She said"I will try," I replied, and she went to answer the door."Hey, Blake, come on in," Tiara said, and she moved out the way for him to come inside.I couldn't help but stare at him as he walked into the family room; he wore a pair of black dress pants and a white button-up shirt. I knew he was b
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
