Chapter 30Camilla's POV…After Lucien felt better, he went to take a shower as I went to set the table. I turned on the television as I waited for him in boredom.“Good morning our wonderful viewers, today is such a beautiful morning. This is TV X and we have some exclusive news that will excite everyone.”“We know that everyone has been asking themselves about this mysterious young master called Lucien Hart. He is probably the youngest alpha in the history to take over such a huge pack and he is also the youngest CEO of Hart empire and his wealth and power cannot be rivaled.” The TV host stated, and it immediately attracted my attention after hearing Lucien's name.I raised the volume and listened intently.“Although we don’t know much about him, but it is certain that someone on Lucien's level must already have a wife or maybe a girlfriend since he is such a powerful alpha, but yesterday he was seen exiting pearl hotel with a mysterious lady in his arms and one of our reporters hap
Chapter 31Camilla's POV…I did not even dare to breathe out loud for the fear of provoking him further. His face was getting darker and darker and I knew that a bloody battle was about to happen.“I am giving you ten minutes; I don’t want to see any of the news anywhere. If possible, close down all those TV stations and any cite that dare report about this.” I heard him say in an extremely cold voice. He was truly enraged and there was no way of salvaging the situation.My mind span quickly as I thought of ways to calm his rage.“Darling, calm down, okay!” I tried to appease him. Although I was also mad that someone used such dirty tricks to defame me and ruin my reputation, I did not want him to be stressed about it.“How can I calm down when they are saying such horrible things about you? Aren’t you bothered even a bit?” I heard him ask, and my heart trembled a little.“Of course, I am bothered and I wish I could skin that person alive. But it is just that they don’t know the relat
Chapter 32Elisa's POV…I have not been this happy and pleased since the ballroom party. Seeing all the negative comments and curses directed at Camilla, I felt thrilled and so happy that I did not even feel like eating breakfast.I just wanted to laugh out loud like a maniac and release all the anger that I have been accumulating.“Haha Camilla, you thought that just because you hooked up with Lucien, I cannot do anything to you? Look at your embarrassing photo online, I bet that you are too afraid to even peek outside your house, right? But you deserve all these for going against me. Who told you to seduce Lenox?Just wait until Lucien dumps you! Haha… hahaha!”“Little sweetheart, why are you so happy this morning? Did anything good happen to you?” it was my mom’s voice that brought me back to my senses. But even so, I could not hide the huge smile that was plastered on my face.“Mom, why are you up so early?” I asked as I held her hand and brought her into my room.“I always wake u
Chapter 33Lenox's POV…Although I wanted to so badly ask Elisa if she was the one responsible for the news circulating about Camilla, I did not have the courage to ask her directly.I know that she is still mad at me for how I treated her yesterday but that cannot justify her actions. The other reason why I am so patient with her is because her father is playing a major role in choosing me to be the most favored candidate to contest against Lucien, if I made her unhappy, I might just invite unwanted trouble.Until I am one hundred percent sure that everything is going my way, I have to trade carefully.So, I had no choice but to book a table so that we can have breakfast together.At the famous breakfast restaurant…I was browsing on social media, seeing all the insult thrown at Camilla, and I was not feeling good about it.The news has now spread and it was #number one trending news on all search feeds. With every comment that I read, my heart constricted and it felt that it was bei
Chapter 34Lenox's POV…After breakfast, I immediately left and headed directly to the office. I wanted to go and see if I can help Camilla minimize the damages made on her reputation since Lucien seemed not to care.I wanted to help her take down as many posts as possible but I did not imagine that my good intentions will lead to such devastating effect and I almost made Camilla be torn into pieces by the netizens.I have never faced anything like that in my life so I thought that if I helped Camilla delete the posts, people will stop talking about it but that only made matters worse for Camilla.I could only sigh in frustrations as I looked at the heated discussion online.I was so engrossed in Camilla's matters that I forgot about the secret meeting. It was a call from Elisa's dad that jolted me awake.“Lenox, have you seen the news about the Jones family?” Martins worried and anxious voice came through the phone.“I have been in a meeting so I haven’t had a chance to look at the n
Chapter 35Lenox POV…I don’t know how I came down from the podium after addressing the media. The only thing that I remember is my shirt was soaked with cold sweat and there was this buzzing sound in my ears.“Lenox, Lenox!” it was my betas voice that brought me back to reality.“What is it, Dylan?”“What are you daydreaming about? You did great up there?” he said with a grin on his face.“Really? I thought that I messed up? I have never been this tense in my life!”“No, you did well. You answered the reporters’ questions well, now it is time to come up with good campaign strategies.” Dylan said.“Yeah.”I know that after taking that step, there is no going back and even if I want to back out now, those cunning old foxes won’t give me a chance.My phone rang and looking at the caller ID, I did not feel like picking it up, but still…“It’s me.” I said through the phone.“Congratulations babe! You are amazing!”“Thanks.” I said in a non-committal tone. I did not see the need to be exci
Chapter 36Camilla POV…When I finally reached the living room, I was surprised that it was full of people.The whole of West pack important members were present and even some faces that I have never seen before.“You are here Camilla, quickly come in.” Matilda said enthusiastically which made me to frown. She has never treated me this nicely as long as I could remember, what came over her today?“What is going on?” I looked at everyone in the room and asked the old lady directly. I felt that something is not right. I felt like I was facing a court jury for interrogation.“Why are you in such a hurry when you have just arrived. Aren’t you even going to say hi to the guests? Is that how I taught you your manners?”“These are your visitors and not mine. What did you call me here for?” I asked. I was not in the mood to entertain anyone.“Sit down and have a cup of tea. Get to know our guests!”“Old lady, aren’t you getting the wrong person to accompany your visitors? I am only a slave gi
Chapter 37Camilla POV…“Mic…” I looked on as Matilda stuttered as she tried to say grandfather’s name.She has been acting all high and mighty just a moment ago, what has happened to her.I went over to grandfather and held his hand, “grandpa, why did you come out now?” I asked.“Everyone was harassing you, how can I not come out? I have never known just how disgusting some people are! Have I been blind all these years? Do some people don’t have a guilty conscious?” grandfather asked furiously.“Matilda… cough, cough!” grandfather started coughing profusely which scared me shitless.“Grandpa, can you please calm down? Don’t be agitated; you are still recovering.” I told him as I slightly rubbed his back.“And you, Moore, my family has been good to you and done a lot for you, but now, you cannot even wait to toss my granddaughter in the line of fire just because of your little ambitions?”“Michael, everyone says that you are dead. I did not know that you are still alive. If I had know
