FAZER LOGINCamilla's POVThen he pressed a kiss to my forehead.God.Maybe I should run away again. I can't betray my kids. I can't betray myself. I can't let this man use me again. I can't let him get tired of me again. I'd become pathetic and an embarrassment. What can I do to stop falling for his charms afresh anytime I see him?Was it already too late for that?"How are you doing?" His voice skated across my neck, into my ears."Badly." I admitted, crying and soaking his shirt with my tears and makeup."Tell me what's wrong, baby.""Why are you getting married to someone else?""Who says I stopped chasing you? Even now I'm chasing you.""And you're getting married?" The crack in my voice was embarrassing. Fuck Grant."I have my reasons. I was going to before you returned.""You can't cancel it?"Way to go, Camilla. Turns out bringing Grant here to show Alex how unaffected you were was just foolishness.He looked down at me, piercing eyes, with intent."I will if you promise I get to be with
Camilla's POVThe after party began, and I had already started getting tipsy, but I was also sober. I could just feel different. Grant held my hands as we greeted our fans. Yup, we are quite famous in our fields.My eyes landed on someone I wasn't expecting to see, and I couldn't believe my eyes. I'd last seen him seven years ago. Alaric Hale, my ex husband's younger brother.I knew of their fight, and when our eyes met across the hall, I knew there was nothing yet resolved about it. Why did he come here then? I looked away quickly to find another...well, damning I must say, sight.Grant was staring at a woman, and when I caught him staring, he whispered something that stunned me to my bones."She looks like my dead wife. It's uncanny.""Oh—""Let me see if I can have a word with her for a second." Then he just...walked off. He walked away, and I watched him meet her, and I watched her smile, and something in my chest died.They engaged in conversation, and I wondered what he was
Camilla's POV"How dare you show your face here? What the hell do you think you're doing here? So it's true that you came back!" Her eyes blazed with true fury.Aunt Beatrice used to adore me. She used to love me. Just how terribly did they interpret me leaving six years ago? "My nephew suffered without you!" Just how bad did he suffer that it was enough to overshadow my own pain? Up till now, nobody was asking me why I left. Tears stung my eyes."How could you do that to my nephew?" She kept attacking me, and eyes remained glued to the confrontation. I was so stunned, I couldn't even form words when I tried."He went mad looking for you! We mourned you! I saw my nephew's tears for the first time in my life! Now you're in the arms of another man and you dare show up here?"He...cried? He...looked for me?That couldn't be possible. I'm certain he was relieved when I left. I'm sure she was just saying things to make me feel bad."You have to get out of here you witch—"I won't have you
Camilla's POVGrant's countenance when he walked into the room wasn't friendly. I had just come out of the shower, about to prepare for the party."What did you two discuss? Why do you look so gloomy?""That bastard ex-husband of yours offered to pay me to let you go. So he's still obsessed." I took in a sharp breath, and instead of getting upset, something warm pooled low around my stomach. Fuck. Why did that...excite me? No. I couldn't be excited. He was getting married.I wrapped my arms around Grant's neck, and this seemed to stun him as my breath hit his face."What did you say in return?" I whispered into his mouth before stealing a kiss."Told him to go to hell, of course." He wrapped his possessive arms around my back, holding me tightly like he couldn't handle me disappearing from his sight."Good. Kiss me, Grant."And he did. Mercilessly, trying to claim me, biting and injuring me. He couldn't be stopped once he started kissing me like he couldn't think straight. I bit hi
Alex's POVThe walk to somewhere with a safe distance was full of tension. For the first time since I've known Grant, the only thought in my head currently was punching the shit out of him.I was barely holding shit together after the stupid tantrum Jessica had been throwing all day. How did I end up with that woman? And now this bastard was kissing my ex wife in broad daylight? That didn't sit right with me, and I was just getting to find out. Seeing Camilla with someone else will never be acceptable.She's mine, no matter the hurt and pain she's caused and is currently causing me. I refuse to let her go. She could still call off this stupid engagement.Why was I even doing this? Mom's wish? Heirs? Was I even fertile?Finally, we arrived at a nice shade, and as I looked up to see his flushed face, I tried not to crush it."Did she put you up to this?" I started off, only just realizing how fast my heart was beating. "What?" His brows furrowed."No, we randomly met a while ago." He
Camilla's POV"He was going to shoot all of us!"I remained traumatized, and I couldn't be more grateful my sister stayed out. I couldn't imagine what could've happened to her. Ariel was explaining everything to her over breakfast since she came back a little after seven a.m. , and there was nothing I wanted to do more than cancel my afternoon flight and stay back.Grant made me cancel my flight, saying he'd arranged a private jet for the six hours flight."Prince, is it okay if you and your sister stay in another house with Aunt Beth while mommy's gone?"He shook his head, eating his toast gracefully.He's nothing like his father he just met last night. I barely got any sleep, and I was thinking of how I was such a bad mom and how someone was on my neck. I couldn't take any chances in case they tried to hurt me and my kids again. I hated to leave them."Why not? Trisha is staying too. I asked and she agreed to stay until I come back, and Stella can come visiting?"I know exactly ho
