Padgett's POV. "Hey, darling!!!" These naughty friends of mine called as they rushed towards me. "Can you all slow down? Why are you screaming my name?" I said acting like I was mad at them. "Stop shouting, did you know that you are the best-graduating student?" Julia said, I looked at them surprised. "Yes, baby! You are ingenious." Sutton said pecking my forehead, Sutton and I had grown closer all these years, since he is the only one without a mate like me, although I and the others are still close, I need to give them space to be with their partner. "So it's the truth," I said in excitement, Alex ran his hand through my hair. "Of course, you should know, who could beat our princess." He said as he pulled Emerald to himself, these two silly got married a year back, Alex is the jealous type, and Emerald has so many admirers, he doesn't want that, so he decided that they get married before graduating and I am sure that Julia and Ray are going to get married after now since we are
Cameron's POV"Cam, you are working too much, let's go on a break since you assume this post, you are working too much, and you barely have time for yourself and us." "What about us?" I asked her, as I turned back to my work"What do you mean? When are we going to get married? We have been engaged for the past four years, you said when we graduate but right now, you've been graduated for the past two years what are we waiting for?" "Probably the groom?" "What? I don't understand." She yelled and hit the table. "Berry, this is an office, so you should lower your voice, and I am..." My words were interrupted by the ping of my phone. "What?" I yelled grabbing my stuff. "What is it? You should talk to me?" She asked, I look at her. "Since you must know, Dad was shot this morning by some unknown assassins, mom is the only one with him at the hospital, so I need to fly back to country D." "I am coming with you." "No!" "You can't stop me, I am your wife-to-be which means, I should be
Cameron's POV. It's exactly, three hours, Padgett left and she is not yet back, my eyes were fixed on the clock as the time ticks, and everywhere is getting dark. "Cameron, you should go home and rest." "Come on Cam, you should go home and rest, you and Berry must be tired, you should rest." "That is true, I am really tired, come on Cupcake let's go home." "Berry leave me alone If you are tired you should go home and stop trying to act like we are sweet because we are not sweet." "How could you be so mean, I am only here to help you?" "Then don't help me, stop helping me, I don't want your help." I dragged my stuff and then walked out of the ward in anger, Berry walked out, after some time. "Let me have the keys, I want to go home." "You should go with the security, you don't need the keys." "Cameron, you don't want us to create a scene here, do you?" She said in anger while dragging the keys from me. "You should be very careful, and remember to stay away from Padgett, I saw
Padgett's POV"Sutton, hurry up, you should drop me, at home." "As your driver?" "No! As my big bro." I said pulling his hand, I am getting used to him dropping me off now and then, so I prefer his driving. "Silly!!!""You should call me, beautiful naughty girl," I said he titters and dragged me out, and he drove me all the way home, dad has been home for three days now, and I haven't seen him, we only talk on the phone, so today I finished on time and left for home."Are you sure, you don't want to come in?" I asked him since we were at the mansion. "No, I will let this pass, I don't want to see that asshole's face right now, I don't want to make him end up in the ICU." "Silly, just go on now, I am not sure, he is still around, Mom said, he is going back to his base today," I said as I got out of the car, as I walked into the compound, I noticed Berry is smoking badly, I know she is never the cool one, so it wouldn't be a surprise if she is abusing drugs as well but I thought she
Padgett's POV. "Yes, I am fine." He said, trying to compose himself."Dear, where are you going?" Dad asked. "Oh! I was going to take permission, I want to attend Ray and Julia's engagement, Ray wants to throw a surprise party for her, as he proposes to the love of his life." I said as I held his hand. "But it doesn't seem so, you already called that he should come pick you up." "Mom please, don't spoil Dad's good heart, I know Dad is going to let me go," I said pouting. "Fine, you can go but who will be there?" Dad asked. "Dad, you already know, Alex, Emerald; Sutton, and of course the soon-to-be husband and wife, and probably a few friends, not to worry; all of them are decent.""Fine, you can go." Dad finally said"I know you are the best." I peck him, as I stand to leave. "Don't you think your wear is too short?" I clenched my fist, as that naughty Cameron opened his mouth to condemn my wears. "It's not too short brother," I said in anger. "Dad, is there anything wrong with
Cameron's POVI stared at her, as she moved closer, her movement wasn't stable, it showed that she was drunk. "Go on and play, you should play." "Are you drunk?" I asked her, she looked at me. "I am not drunk, I am just a bit tipsy, a bit, so play, I order you to play." She said she was about to sit, she almost fell from the chair. "Careful!!!""Stop treating me, like a child, I am not stupid, I know what I am doing." She said pushing my hands from her. She is looking more cute, even in her drunk state. "Play, what are you waiting for?" "Fine! If that will make you feel better." I said then started playing the piano, I picked the song Love To Lose by Sandro Cavazza & Georgia Ku, and using the tone, she folded her hand under her chin to support herself, with her bright eyes looking at me and she smiled wide"You are such a liar." She said in her drunk state, as she stood, I looked at her, and probably got the words from the tone because she said that, when it got to, I didn't love
Padgett's POVI looked at Sutton and his eyes were staring at Cameron scornfully. "First of all, you are not my friend; secondly, I don't know you and thirdly, I don't want you to come close to me," Sutton said, then turned to me. "Padgett, let's go." "It's not possible, she is going with me, dad said from now on, she will go with me to work and return home with me because she said she is scared of driving," Cameron said and took my hand, Sutton pushed him from me and threw a punch at him but it meets him on his shoulder. "You shouldn't bite more than you could chew." "You think I am making all this story, friend." "I am not your friend," Sutton yelled. "Fine then but Padgett let's go." "She is not going with you." "You should ask her, that is what Dad said." Sutton looked at me then I nodded. "Okay, I go now, you should tell me if he tries anything silly, so I damage his face." Sutton turned and entered his car while I got into Cameron's car. As soon as I sat in his car, I pl
Cameron's POVEvery one of them turned and looked in my direction, I froze in the spot, I really didn't mean for them to notice me, but I got carried away, I had no idea that she was with them all this while, rumor had it that, she disappeared and that her family had been searching for her. "What are you doing here? Are you stalking us?" Sutton's voice wasn't friendly, he pushed me and sent a punch across my face. "Get out." He said. "Why? Did you kidnap her?" I asked, Alex, grabbed my collar. "Don't you understand, the word gets out, let me explain...""AH! My head!!!" Rhonda screamed as she held her head. "Guys stop it, she is having an attack!!!" We heard Ray screaming and then rushing to Rhonda, he helped her onto the bed, and we three rushed to her as well, the doctor examined her and then gave her some drugs to calm her nerves. "What is wrong with her?" Sutton asked the doctor. "Oh! The thing is, is like, seeing all these three, trigger her memory, probably it was too much
