Because it was important to me

Gavriel's POV  When I stepped out of the interrogation room, Camille was gone. I felt angry. But I wasn't exactly sure who I was angry at.   The officer Ted or Ned or whatever shitty name he had. That man irritated the crap out of me. He was disappointed when Victoria came with that footage.   Ah, yes, Victoria. She had thrust me in a damned situation. It sucked that I had to use her help to get out of being suspected of murder. She had caused the rift between me and Camille.   But then, if I hadn't lied, Camille would still trust me.  I had messed up. I was angry at everyone, but most of all, I was mad at myself.   I panicked, dammit. I hadn't thought that it would be relevant, and I wanted to keep it a secret from Camille until she healed a little from her father's death.   She must be

Lonely.

Camille's POV  I had no idea how long I stood before Megan, replaying her words over and over in my head.   "Why?" I managed to croak.   She shrugged, avoiding my gaze. "There's something I have to attend to at home."  I nodded. It was fine. She probably wanted to check on her parents and see how they were doing or something.   I couldn't remember the last time Megan had traveled down to see them. She was always there. Always around.   "When will you be back?" I asked, turning around so I could pack my few things for the trip.   Megan remained quiet, and I glanced over my shoulder to see her staring at her shoes.  That nagging feeling was back.   Something was not right.   "Megan?" I called, facing he

The accusation

Gavriel’s POV I picked up a dart, turning it between my fingers while my public relations officer ranted my ears off. My home had never felt so bleak and empty. Everywhere was quiet. A little too quiet. I was alone with my thoughts, and it sucked.  “...Sir?!” I sighed, tossing the dart against the board on the wall. “What the hell do you want me to do?”  “Sir, there is a video of James Caldwell’s daughter calling you a murderer in public. The company’s reputation, your reputation is at stake.”  With a groan, I reached for another dart and hurled it at the board. It hit the center, quivering from the force. I had bigger things to worry about. I had Camille to worry about, dammit. I could still recall the anger in her eyes. My kitten was mad at me.  And it wasn’t a pretty feeling.&n

Poisoned

Camille's POV  My shoulders dropped and my head felt faint. I stumbled forward and if I wasn't caught just in time by Uncle Robert, I probably would have fallen face-first to the ground.   "Are you certain?" The policemen asked the truck driver again.   Their voices sounded far away. There was a loud ringing in my ears. People spoke around me but only one voice rang clear and true.   The truck driver's.   "Yes-"  He was cut off abruptly. My eyes widened as I saw him shake and tremble in the bed. His eyes rolled, pupils disappearing leaving just the whites behind.   "He's having a seizure!" Someone yelled. "Call the doctor! Now!"  "Camille,"  My head snapped in the direction of the man I had loved with every single fucking fiber

Neck Deep in the mess

Gavriel's POV  I stared at her glumly.  I was screwed. If I said I had tailed and monitored, that would sound even worse. I was already in knee-deep shit with the driver's nonsense.    I had never seen him in my life, dammit. And yet I could still see the conviction in his eyes as he pointed at me saying I had told him to kill Caldwell.   "Why won't you speak?" She yelled, her pretty blue eyes were red-rimmed from crying. "Why aren't you saying anything?"  "He came to stop us from getting the truth."  I closed my eyes, trying to hold back from smashing the crazy policeman in the face. I was so fucking close to doing so. I hadn't told Camille about the whole Alan issue and he'd ruined every single thing.   I could see the doubt in her eyes. She believed every outrageous nonsense that the idiot spou

A promise

Gavriel's POV  "You're certain?" I asked, ignoring the wild thumping in my chest.   Damn it. None of this made any sense.  Benjamin nodded. "All evidence, circumstantial or not, they do point to you, Boss. It doesn't look good. If another is found, it'll be the last straw."  "Noted," I said gruffly, tipping my head at him.    I watched him walk out of my car to his vehicle before driving off. What on earth was going on? There was no way that I had killed Caldwell.   Unless...No. No, it wasn't possible.    I didn't bother driving home. I could not stand the voices in my head, mocking me, taunting me with what I knew very well to be lies.   I had to see Camille.   I dialed Dane's

A resolve to lead

Camille's POV  I watched him leave.  The hulk of a man that I had spent the past months with. He stormed out of my bedroom and I could hear his footsteps, loud and heavy on the stairs until they faded away.   My fingers brushed my lips. His kiss had been brief. Yet hot and blistering enough to leave my lips sore and tender.   I wanted more. And I could have more- If everything was still the same. I glanced around the room. My room was the last place I had seen my father alive.   Alive and furious and yelling at me.  Tears rolled, hot and burning, down my cheeks.   I had shoved him aside like he was nothing. I had ripped his favorite picture of us. I had scorned my father's love and I would spend every second of my life, regretting that.   I tried to go back to packing,

A chance

Camille's POV  "It's today. I'm taking over Dad's company today."  I stared down at the text I had sent to Megan. Double ticks meant it had been delivered, but not read. Like all the others I had dropped.   I gripped the phone tighter and then dropped my head on the window with a sigh. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the driver glance up at the rearview mirror before fixing his eyes on the road.   I shouldn't be angry.   I shouldn't be mad at Megan. Or anyone else. Megan was going through things I wasn't sure I could have survived if I were her.  Uncle Robert was supposed to come with me to Dad's company but he got a call last night and had to attend to whatever that was. When he texted last night telling me he would meet me at the company instead, I panicked.   I had imagined he wo

Crybaby

Camille's POV  "Frankly, we don't have very high hopes, girl." The man said sourly and I watched several heads nod in agreement. "We'll see as it goes."  And like that, the meeting was over.  They rose and walked out of the room before I could say another word. The last to leave was Gavriel. He remained seated, staring at me until they all left.   Harley, who stood behind me the whole time, snickered.  "I guess they weren't too impressed. And who could blame them?"  Who could blame them? To them, I was a spoiled brat who would have remained just that if her father hadn't died.   Gav rose from his seat, gave me a nod, and walked out. I wasn't sure if I should be relieved that he didn't walk up to me or angry.   I could still remember the last kiss. My toes curled at the me

Camille meets her match

Camille's POV  I wiped my tears quickly and turned around to face her.  "What exactly is your problem with me?"  She arched an already high brow. "Why would I have a problem with you? You're already a bag full of them." "That insult is so third-grade," I sniffed, trying to keep the tears behind my eyes. I would cry later. When the sour witch before me was gone.   Harley smirked. "But the ones that'll follow, will not be. You've had a taste of how brutal the stakeholders are. Trust me, they get worse when our stock takes a dip. And with you becoming the CEO, I can see just how low the stocks will drop,"   I frowned, shaking my head. "You're an employee in this company, why would you want that to happen? Why are you so excited to see me fail?"  She pouted, putting on a fake pity face. "Oh no honey, no. I'm no
