Chapter 70Lenox POV…After reading through the report, I returned it to where it was without missing a bit. I don’t know why Elisa hasn’t told me anything up to now when she is already two months pregnant. It can’t be that she has also found out about it just recently.I waited for a while longer before I heard footsteps outside the room and I knew that she was coming. I sat up straight and waited to give her a surprise.She entered the room, and as expected, she was surprised to see me. I saw shock, panic and fear flash through her eyes briefly and I wondered what it meant.I saw her gaze move towards the drawer that was having the pregnancy report for a second before she looked back at me.Her reaction gave me a bad feeling and I felt that something was not right.“You… why are you here?” she asked, and her flustered expression only made me more suspicious!Why does it feel like she is very much surprised to see me in her room? it is not the first time I am coming here unannounced
Chapter 71Lenox POV…I sat on the leather chair in the study room without saying anything. The air was stifling and it gave off a heavy feeling.“What brought you here?” Martin broke the ice and asked in an emotionless voice.I looked at him as if I was seeing him for the very first time since I was born. He has aged just in a few hours and even his ruthless aura has dwindled a little.“don’t you guys think that you have gone overboard with your words and actions? Don’t you think that the three of you owe me an explanation!” I said through gritted teeth.I was really trying my best to not go up and just strangle him to death. My parents were battling for their lives in the hospital, but they are here pretending like everything that is going on has nothing to do with them?Aren’t they very pretentious? Hah, should I help them contend for an Oscar!“I don’t understand what you are talking about!” and he even has the guts to tell me this, the audacity!“Hah, Martin don’t get me started.
Chapter 72Lucien POV…It has been two days since the online community started the bloody war of shredding some bastards apart. I looked on with disinterest, not offering any comments even when faced with the media.Camilla has been in a coma for three days now, close to four, but thank the moon goddess, Liam said that they have some good news and he will be coming over today.I could not weight for her to wake up. Although I see her every day; I feel like I still miss her dearly.Zelma was the most worried because her birthday will be in four days’ time and if her sister hasn’t woken up by then, I don’t know what will be of her!But I am confident that she will be awake by then. Since Liam has already gotten the antidote, then it will only be a matter of time.As for the people Marcus talked about, I haven’t seen or heard anything suspicious. Even so, I will not let anything happen to her no matter what.At night in the master bedroom…I stood nervously beside the bed as I watched Li
Chapter 73Lucien POV…I came back to my senses and rushed to the bed at a lightning speed.“Camilla… Camilla you are awake?” I asked in a trembling voice.“Darling, did you also die?” she asked as she looked at me with a confused gaze.At that moment, I did not care about anything as I pulled her in for a hug!“You are awake, you are awake!” I said as I hugged her tightly, wanting to merge her into my bones.“Uhm darling, I cannot breathe!” she said, only then did I loosen my hug!“Zelma, call Liam now!” I spoke to the stunned Zelma who was still holding the lid in her hands.Liam had gone to freshen up and since Camilla is awake, then he should check on her.“Okay!”I looked at Camilla, never wanting to avert my eyes from her even for a moment. I hastily held her down in the bed when she tried to sit up, “you have only woken up, lay still for a while until the doctor comes!” I spoke as I held her firmly on the bed.“How long have I been out?” she inquired.“Close to one week!”“What
Chapter 74Camilla POV…I looked at the sleeping Lucien beside me and my heart ached. Zelma was right, all those dark circles under his eyes, it seems like he hasn’t slept for weeks!His face was pale and he looked exhausted. I kissed him on the forehead lightly and gently covered him with the blanket.I have been sleeping for a long time so I did not feel like sleeping anymore. I wanted to update myself on everything that happened while I was in a coma. Although Zelma has told me bits and pieces, I know that that was just the tip of the iceberg.Looking at how wan out Lucien looked, I knew that it must have been stormy.I haven’t gotten out of bed since I woke up. I gently removed the quilt from me and tried to stand up. I felt that my body was very sticky and the clothes I was wearing were stuck on me. I thought that I will have difficulties walking but, the moment I stepped down, my legs were just fine.What had happened that day, I did not want to even think about it. I made my w
Chapter 75Camilla POV…I could not believe juts how stormy and bloody the battle has been. I did not feel good about missing such a good show, but well, at least I am fine. There will be more to come.I looked at the video of Lucien taking oath of office and I could not hide the admiration in my eyes. my husband was just very dashing and I was filled with regret that I was not there with him during such an important event.“Darling, I am sorry!” I leaned over on his chest and said in a soft voice. It was already evening and Lucien had already woken up.He had a good sleep and he was back to his energetic self.“What are you sorry about?” he said as he caressed my head. Feeling his broad, warm palm on me made me feel very fortunate and loved.“It was such an important occasion in your life but I was not there. I don’t feel very good about it!” I spoke.“My dear, nothing is more important than you!” he said and a cool kiss landed on my forehead.“Also, thank you for not giving up on me
Chapter 76Zelma POV…I did not know that I will wake up feeling like shit on my birthday. I felt like I have been beaten up very badly and I did not even have the energy to lift my finger. My head was heavy and I only felt like sleeping.I heard it when Camilla came to my room but no matter what I tried, my eyes refused to open. It was after so much difficulty that I managed that one painful grunt.I have been excited for too long to finally hit adulthood, but I did not expect the price I had to pay will be this fucking pain that was consuming me. I have heard stories of how it is painful during your first transformation, I never imagined that it will be like this.This is beyond anything I had expected.I felt like crap as I laid on my bed without the energy to do anything. I was feeling like a moody pregnant woman who did not want to do anything. I only knew that it was painful during the process, but I did not know that the process starts so early.Well, brother-in-law said that i
Chapter 77Zelma POV…The party was going on well and everyone was having fun. People were drinking and messing around as they enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.I only drunk a few glasses but I was already feeling intoxicated. I could see that my sister and my brother-in-law were glued together, refusing to leave each other’s side.Although I was drunk and my vision was blur, the bone chilling pain in my body was becoming more and more unbearable. I felt as if something in me wanted to break free. Maybe it was about time for what I have been looking most forward to!I went to my sister. My clothes were already soaked from the cold sweat and I was about to faint from the pain.“Sis, I cannot take it anymore. I feel like every bone in me is cracking!”“I think it is about time!” I heard Camilla say as she looked at Lucien.“Maybe we should take her to her room!” brother-in-law said. I could barely open my eyes from the pain that was shooting through my body.Before I completely pa
