AURELIO Once I closed the door behind me, I felt a small hand on my chest and I turned on the lights, Camille was In front of me her hands trailing my chest.“Cool down alright” I scolded but she didn't seem to hear. She reached out for my face and I stepped back.“Just kiss me please” she begged her voice small and I sighed but gave in, I lifted her chin up and placed a peck, she wrapped her hand round my neck and hoisted herself up, wrapping her leg around my waist.“Camille, stop, you're drunk” I warned when she peppered kisses on my neck, sending a rush of blood to my groin.“But I didn't even take any drink” she argued in a soft voice.“But you smell of alcohol” she looked at herself and nodded.“I did take a few” she confessed in a whisper and I ran a hand in her hair.“Go take a bath” I took her upstairs, dropped her on the bed and quickly ran a bath for her. She walked into the bathroom and watched me in silence when I was done. I left her.After a few minutes I heard my name

AURELIOI didn't expect we'd be going home this late, but Camille's dad was such a businessman at mouth, he talked about business with every opportunity he got and seriously I saw how he was able to make such wealth.Beatrice stayed silent on our drive home and I didn't bother to break the silence. It wasn't new, we'd go for days without seeing or hearing from each other.I blamed myself partly, maybe I wasn't a good husband as I thought I was. But part of the silence that lingered was because we argued a few days ago.Beatrice did everything she promised not to do again and somehow talking about it with her made it worse. Sometimes I couldn't even recognise who I married anymore.Beatrice was everything I couldn't think of back then, being with her felt like the whole world had ended and it was just us two, we could barely stay without each other.She called every minute I was away from her, I couldn't work properly if she wasn't around, damn, she couldn't even keep her hands off me,

CAMILLE ‘Dad huh?’.‘Pete isn't that old either, you could use a few years on him’ i texted back.After pulling into the estates garage, Keisha drove out again to go get some groceries and I went in alone.I got out of my clothes and took a quick shower and changed into a tube top and small shorts.I got in the kitchen and made some popcorn for what I would believe was an interesting night with Aurelio.There were two notifications from him and I smirked and posted the pics from earlier on my Instagram, tagging it as one of the best times I've had this week.Immediately after the post a message came in from Aurelio and I laughed and buried my face in my pillow.‘He could have very well been my elder brother' the first text read, which was an exaggeration because Aurelio looked older than Pete.‘He could find someone his own age, anyone with eyes would realise you're too young’I laughed after reading the message, he sounded jealous to me but If I pointed that out, he'd coil back into

CAMILLE Dad finally let me return to my apartment, with lots of character ethics which wasn't needed cause I definitely didn't hit that bitch, and now I wish I actually did.I stared at the number papa gave me, he said it belonged to Beatrice, he was really adamant about me learning from Beatrice.In a different scenario I would definitely reject this offer but it's been almost a week now and Aurelio has slowly owned my mind.His wife seems to be my best shot of seeing him ever again.I squeezed the paper and threw it out the window. I wasn't that shallow, stealing another woman's husband was something a Barone would never do.But I missed him. So badly.“We are so late for Dr Fernandez class” Keisha said, poking her head into my window.“You should have gone without me” I said, tapping her head gently and she took her head out and I stepped down.“You know Mr Fernandez has the hots for you, he'd let us in if you're with me” I did a fake cringe act and Keisha chuckled.“I told you he

CAMILLE“Camille?” His shocked voice was testament that I wasn't dreaming and Aurelio was indeed standing in front of me.“What are you doing here?” He asked, something told me he was asking to prove himself wrong because he must have already figured out that I lived here and I was Ronald Barone’s daughter.“You're…You're” I gulped at the realisation.“You're Beatrice’ husband, you're married” I managed to squeeze out.“What's wrong dear?” I turned to Mrs Olga's voice and smiled tightly.“He just arrived” I answered and stepped aside to let him in.Aurelio’s face turned cold as he passed, the familiar scent of mint and lavender washed over me.I was so screwed.I sat on the right side next to papa, while Beatrice and Aurelio sat on the other side next to each other. Aurelio's face was set in stone as he stared on the table.Papa went on about how Beatrice was such an angel but me and Aurelio’s mind was far from this table.“You must have met my little demon, the one and only, Camille,

CAMILLE “What's this video of you fighting in a restaurant, Camille?” I sighed.“I didn't fight with her papa, she just made a rude comment and I stood up to her and besides I paid the customers there not to leak the video, I don't know why this is happening” I answered.“You paid? Camille we own up to mistakes not pay them off, this is so terrible Camille, you're on almost every social media handle” papa said and took a seat.“I'll sort that out papa, take some rest okay” “How can I rest when my own daughter is being dragged all over the news?” he asked.“Camille, you need to understand that you are part of the Barone enterprise, everything you do or say affects the company”.“And this right here is not a good look on the company, on me, people see you as a replica of me and if you go around behaving like this what do you think they think of me?” I sighed and nodded.“I'm sorry papa, It won't happen again” he looked away and reached for a glass of water taking a sip.“Maybe I actua
