Adrian's POVI paced in front of the room in frustration as the doctor had yet to come out of the room to check up on Camila's condition. I even feared more if she had listened to everything I had said to Drake before she passed out. "Daddy." I looked down Isabella's tab as she pulled my clothes, standing right next to me. "Will she be okay?" She asked and I nodded gently as I lifted her in my arms. "She will be okay. The doctor is checking on her so no need to worry, okay baby?" I said and she nodded before pulling her into a hug just then the doctor walked out of the room, pulling off his coat before giving it to his nurse. "She is fine, your majesty. I think her unconsciousness was triggered by a memory. She has been having a constant headache according to reports of her past accident." He said and I looked at him in confusion. "I am sure you know she was involved in an accident that caused her amnesia. Looks like there has been an event that is sparking up her memories lately."
Camilla’s POV The kiss continued until we stopped to catch our breaths. I kept on staring at him keenly looking deeply into his eyes as I found this warmth I never seemed to notice before.He gently patted my hair and held me closer to him, curbing his hands around my waist.He leaned over for another kiss but I stopped him and pushed him back slightly.“What’s wrong? Am I making you uncomfortable?” He inquired with a bothered look on his face.He looked so calm when he was apologetic.“No it’s not that, let’s go into the bedroom, it’s more comfortable there.” I didn’t get to finish my sentence before he locked me up and swerved me off my feet walking in the direction of the room.I got lost in words as I was too busy staring at how perfectly shaped his face was. Everything about him seemed so attractive and I wondered what took me so long to notice.When we got into the room, he walked over to the bed and placed me down gently touching my lips the moment he got close to me.He star
Camila’s POVI walked into the room and opened the window to the room for more fresh air. I was feeling very choked up and I felt sick.I didn’t remember feeling sick the day before so I didn’t get where the unusual sickness came from.I locked up some drugs and swallowed it, placing the remaining cup of water by the table side.My head was aching badly as I struggled to maintain my balance. I walked gently to the bed and sat down gently massaging my temple.I was having a very bad margarine and I didn’t know what exactly caused it. Last night I thought I was just fine and now my head was hurting badly.Unclear memories flashed through my head as I struggled to take a grasp of what exactly was going on. I didn’t know what exactly I was trying to remember but it was taking a serious toll on my mind.I sighed deeply and kept on massaging my head as it began to hurt badly. My whole body felt weak as I reached for a cup of water on the other side of the table.After taking a full gulp and
Adrain’s POVI kept on stroking her hands gently into mine wondering why she should ask me such a question. I was snagged off guard but I didn’t dare show it.It couldn’t be, so why did she keep on recalling things? Was this what I was thinking? The universe just wanted to play a cruel trick on me?“Is anything wrong? Did I say anything wrong? You seem bothered about something.” I heard Camila mumble in her soft pale tone. “No you didn’t do anything at all, I was just thinking about some business-related pieces of stuff, you have nothing to worry about,” I replied, assuring her immediately.How do I ask her if she was who I thought?How am I sure it is what I’m thinking or I’m the one being delusional?It couldn’t be but why does it feel like it can be?“So this memory you say you try to remember because you feel you’re forgetting something very important or someone important to you. How does it come? What exactly do you see?” I inquired about patting her hair backward.I didn’t want
Adrain’s POVI was scrolling through the files the pending files, waiting for Drake to get back to me on the pending issue. I was so curious as to know if there was anything that would lead me to my thoughts.A part of me wanted her to be Claire and the other part of me told me not to mess things up. Camila was a good person and I wouldn’t want us to throw away our newfound peace because of assumptions.I didn’t want her having any flashbacks anymore as it was affecting her health even though I wanted answers. I’d rather be left curious than hurt her for selfish reasons.We’ve grown so close and I was careful with everything I did around her because I wanted this to last.I heard a knock on the door which snapped me back to reality wondering who it was. I knew it wouldn’t be Drake because he didn’t have to knock to get in.“Come in,” I said without thinking twice.The door knob turned and I was surprised to see Eliza walk in with a tray of snacks in her hands. Was she going for a picn
Adriana’s POVI watched Camila carefully wondering the next step she was going to take because she still looked so calm and I could see through it.After making sure her tray was perfectly arranged on the table, she looked over at Eliza’s own which was dangling at the edge at this point.I saw a smile carve up at the corner of her cheek and without thinking twice she pushed the tray on the floor causing a loud screeching sound.“Why would you do that?” Eliza blurted out.Camilla remained quiet till the tray was balanced on the floor with some of the contents scattered on the floor.She locked up the tray emptied the remaining contents on the floor and then smiled in satisfaction.I watched her keenly as each of her steps seemed to amaze me one after the other.She turned over to Eliza and stretched forth the tray to her.“Don’t you have anything to do? I don’t think you do if not you won’t walk all the way here to give him snacks when no one asks you to.” Camila started laughing the t
Adrian’s POVI kept staring at her as she stood in front of me. I wasn’t paying attention to anything she was saying but all I cared about was staring at her.Her eyes were so beautiful and her face was perfectly shaped. How did I get so lucky?“Are you even listening to me?” She asked, pouting her lips after noticing I was just staring at her face.“No, I was too busy wondering how I got so lucky having someone as beautiful as you as my wife,” I said gently reaching for her as I gently rubbed her chin.“Be serious Adrian.” She muttered blushing as her cheeks were already Tomato red.“I’m serious about my love for you, do you even know how pretty you are Camila?”“You have work to do, quit teasing me already.”I pulled her over and placed her on my lap as she shyly looked away.“You need to get used to all of these, you’re mine and I’ll keep on holding you anytime and anywhere to reassure myself that you’re with me,” I said, staring at her which was only making her blush so hard that
Camila's POVI stared at him holding the snacks in my hands wondering how exactly I was supposed to feed him with my lips without messing the whole place up. “Come on, feed me already.” He said staring keenly at my lips and then at my eyes and it made me blush hard.I leaned forward and he pushed me closer into his embrace and collected the snack from my mouth, kissing me afterward.I was caught off guard but I should have known that he was going to end up missing me.“Adrian!!” I managed to say after he stopped the kiss for us to catch our breaths.He didn’t let me rest enough before he pulled me back into his embrace and landed another kiss.“Haa.”When the kiss finally ended he sent me off with a little peck on my cheeks.“I’m full now, thanks for feeding me.” He said with a smile gathered at the corner of his lips and we both burst out laughing.“That’s not food, you could have just said you wanted something else,’ You tricked me.” I cried playing with his hands which were enorm
Dear Beloved Readers,If you're reading this, it means you've stuck with me through every twist, turn and terribly crafted joke that I've dared to type and send your way. For that, I owe you a universe of thanks or at the very least, a coffee if we ever meet anywhere beyond our various screens.Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when you've spent so much time in a world that exists somewhere between reality and the imagination. We've been through a lot together, haven't we? We've faced through the plans of Eliza (metaphorically, more like we are watching it while we read 😂.), dived deep into the deep end of human emotions and emerged on the other side with our hearts strangely full, if not a bit bruised. 🙏.. 🥺
Claire was laying on the bed, in Adrina's arms after the whole day of going through everything Rossi had left for Isabella and the male child he wishes Claire to have, they decided to go to bed to avoid stressing her so much.As Claire laid there, she felt a sharp pain from her sleep and suddenly groaned out in pain. She quickly opened her eyes and she instantly knew it was time for her baby to come. “Adrian.” She called him, tapping him gently and he sprang up. “It's time.” She said and he immediately lifted her in his arms, calling out to the maids outside. “Get her bags and everything. Place it in the car and ask Quinn to drive it over to the hospital.” Adrian commanded and the maid nodded, hurriedly doing as she was asked. Adrian drove her to the hospital at full speed as she groaned in pain. He couldn't bear to see her in pain and he wondered if this was the same pain she went through when she was about to give birth to Isabella and he wasn't there from the start. “It's okay ba
“Finally, everything seems fresh and refreshing.” Claire stretched as she touched her already swollen belly, obvious she would be due anytime soon. Adrian came up behind her, handing her a plate of fruit which she had requested for. “Here you go babe.” He said, kissing her cheeks gently. “Thank you.” She replied, wrapping her arms around his neck even though her stomach tried to get in the way. “You look even more beautiful day after day. I'm envious.” He pouted and she laughed as he carried her in her arms. She was amazed by her strength to carry her even though she was nine months pregnant already and it was difficult for her to lift herself up.“The more beautiful I become, the more handsome and strong you become, I'm so jealous.” She pouted and he placed her on the chair, kissing her pouted lips. “No need to be envious. It's all yours, baby.” He said, flexing his muscles and she could help but giggle at him cuteness. “So do you think we'll be having a baby boy or another Isabe
"I think we are done here." I watched the man in suit seated at the other end of the table voiced out before he stood up.He stacked up a few papers on the table before placing them into a black briefcase.The meeting had been concluded finally and shortly after, Eliza was apprehended by the security men close by.Soon, we exited the meeting room, Claire and I standing close to each other as the weight of the recent events hung heavy in the air. Eliza's cries echoed down the corridor as the security men dragged her away while everyone watch with utmost disgust."Let me go!!" She protested, while struggling as hard as she could to break free from their hold. "This is not how you treat a pregnant lady, this is not how you should treat me."Her protests fell on deaf ears as she soon started claiming to be pregnant, but after all the deception and betrayal, it was hard to trust anything that came out of her mouth.I turned to my side, urging Claire to leave but it was then my attention w
The elders who were four most trusted people that Rossi had placed on that seat of power before dying sat there with the officials looking at them in shock. None of them has ever met them so it was a surprise to see them here. After waiting for almost thirty minutes, Adrian walked into the meeting hall with Claire and Isabella next to him. They all bowed and greeted him including the elders and he bowed back in respect. They all sat there and the officials whispered to each other wondering whatbwas going on and why the elders were there. Most of them feared for all they did wrong because Adrian was no longer predictable and he could get any of them out of their position with just a snap of his fingers while the elders were seated. “It is a great honor to have you back with us, Queen Claire. We didn't know you're the same as Camila. Our actions towards her was just to save your legacy and making sure not just anyone can sit on your throne.” The head of the officials laughed nervousl
My heart was beating very fast as I stood in the middle of the room, Eliza was standing at the entrance with a gun in her hand, she had it pointed in my face, any fucking move from me could end my life. "So you are alive, you just didn't know how to die" Eliza yelled at me, she still had the same look of anger and wore years back even now. She just hated me for no reason, from the first day she met me and even more that my face has changed, she still hates me "Eliza please drop the gun and let's talk" I pleaded and she threw her head back and laughed. "I should drop the gun and allow us have a conversation? it's not going to happen sunshine, not in a million years so just forget about it" She yelled I flinched and then tried to stop my legs from shaking, I didn't want to die yet, I had just found out that I am pregnant again, I now have the chance to love my daughter for who she is, and I have my rightful place in the kingdom as Adrian's queen. I don't want to die now, I have for
Claire's POVEveryone sat in front of us whispering and looking around like they didn't understand what was going on which they didn't. I couldn't believe Adrian called a huge amount of people just telling them to Camila turned out to be Claire. Who would even believe that story because I definitely would not believe it. I just watched as everyone looked at me in utter curiosity before the whole hall settled down in silence. “I want to thank everyone for taking their time to be here live to watch me make my announcement. I know you're all confused by who is this sitting on my queen's throne.” Adrian said and the whole hall became quiet. Everyone looked at me and I just stared into a distance waiting for Adrian to explain everything to them. As he did everyone gasped and oohed as they looked back at me. They couldn't believe their eyes. Most of them knew me from when I was queen and all I did for the seat and how much King Rossi loved me as his daughter-in-law and couldn't believe
Claire's POVAll Adrian told me about us meeting again was nothing I understood at all but I felt bad missing an important part for my daughter's life. I don't even remember how I got pregnant again for my husband. “Why did I forget memories of things that happened while I was Camila?” I asked Adrian, not knowing why everything in my life was becoming confusing for even me to understand. “The doctor doesn't understand either but you should be able to remember in a few weeks or days even,” Adrian said with a smile on his face, planting a kiss on my cheeks. A smile appeared on my lips as I felt butterflies fluttering in my tummy. I can't remember the last time I was kissed by him while I was being me. He led me down the stairs where Candice was standing with Drake next to her, a bright smile on her face. “You look so much like Claire with your black hair,” Candice said, stretching out her hands to touch my hair and I slapped it away with a joking frown. “Of course I'm Claire. I don
Tension filled the air as I stared straight at Claire, who in return, stared right back at me.My heart raced with so many mixed feelings as we both stood there, opposite each other."Adrian." Her words finally broke the silence, her voice still sounding like music to my ears. "Is that you, Adrian?""Claire!" I said silently, with a heavy heart. "It's me," I responded as I walked closer to her.I placed my hand on her face, feeling the warmth on my skin as I stared at her face."I've missed you." She responded, reciprocating by brushing her cheek over my palm."It's you, isn't it?" "Yeah, it is me." Though I could see her standing before me, I couldn't believe that it was the Claire I knew.Everything felt so unreal being close to her as her memories had returned.I watch as Claire fidgets with the hem of her shirt, her eyes searching mine for answers she can't quite articulate."I still can't believe it's you." I finally spoke up, my voice soft yet laced with a hint of disbelief. "
