Chapter 87Camilla POV…After I entered the office, I heaved a huge sigh of relief. I did not imagine that things will end up this way but I was glad that it was over.I looked at the huge office and the huge desk in front of me, not knowing what to do. I don’t know if I pushed Lenox and his family to the wall, but I did not feel any regrets.As I was still thinking, my phone rang. Looking at the caller id, my eyes turned gentle and all the unpleasant things in my mind vanished.“Darling…” I called out softly.“CEO West, how is your first day at work? Did any one cause any trouble?” Lucien asked over the phone in his low voice.“Just some little mishap but it is all good now!”“That is good!”“And you, how is your first day as mayor?” I inquired.“Nothing much. Just going through some old files!”“Since you don’t seem like you are busy, how about lunch together? It has been long since we last went out together!” I said over the phone. There was nothing much to be done on my end, so wh
Chapter 88Lucien POV…Marcus was still in my hands and before I fully resume the office, I wanted to deal with his matter. Being mayor to me was a sacred thing and I did not want to do anything that violates any of the oaths that I have taken.So, before I divulged all my attention in taking care of city N, I needed to go to city S to deliver something.Liam and his team had finished their research and since the end product was a success, they did not need Marcus anymore.I thought of using him to lure the mysterious faction out but I declined the idea in the end. We are in the light while they were in the dark. We are already exposed and although I want to so badly find them, I did not want to risk anything.If they know that Marcus was in our hands, and Camilla was already well, they might use extreme measures in their desperation to finish their project. That was not the risk I was willing to take because Camilla's safety was my first priority.So, the following morning, I woke up
Chapter 89 Camilla POV… It has been a few weeks since I took over the Crawford corporation. Although it was a little bumpy at the start, things were starting to stabilize and I could finally take a break. Zelma will also be leaving with Jared in a few days, so I organized for a family get together. I know that since she will be joining college in a few weeks’ time, it will be hard for us to see each other. We were at the pearl hotel and even grandfather had come along. Every time we went outside, he would always say that he doesn’t want to disturb us youngsters, but today he relented. In the private room, there was a huge round table that could fit at least fifteen people. We were not many so, we managed to occupy not even half the space. Grandfather was sitting at the main seat while Zelma sat on his left. Jared was sitting beside Zelma and next to him was Dr. Liam. He has now become a part of our family ever since he operated on grandfather and took care of me a few times. He
Chapter 90 Camilla POV… A few days went by and it was time for Zelma and Jared to return back overseas since schools will be opening soon. Although I was reluctant to part with my sister, I knew that it was only right for me to let her go. I personally sent her to the airport together with Lucien, and it was hard to part after spending three months together. At the airport… I looked at the young man standing there with the air of nobility around him, looking like a proper boyfriend. “Jared, I am leaving Zelma in your care now. She is young and clumsy, please be tolerant towards her and lead her in the right path!” I said as I clasped my hands together. “sister-in-law, don’t worry. I will take care of Zelma and I will make sure that she studies well. I will also ensure her safety and make sure that nothing happens to her.” Jared said and I was glad that he was able to understand my worries. I have noticed that although he was only eighteen, he had a very high IQ and EQ and after
Chapter 91 Camilla POV… Two weeks went by in a flash after Zelma left. Lucien and I have been extremely busy in the past two weeks. Sometimes, we would even miss each other as one would come home very late while the other left very early. Crawford corporation had met with some problem but it has been solved. Watching the share raising at a constant rate, I could finally heave a sigh of relief. In the past two weeks, I almost gave up but remembering that it took Lucien his effort and time to give me this company, I persisted. And now my hard work has started to pay off. The shareholders and other executives also had nothing to say now seeing that the company was on the right track. The voices that were against me have also quietened down. It was slightly past midday. I did not have an appetite for anything so I hadn’t had a bite for lunch. It is not just today, but for the past few days, I haven’t had the urge to eat something. Every time I came in contact with the smell of food,
Chapter 92 Camilla POV… When I heard that Lucien was also at emperor hotel, I was pleasantly surprised. “Uhm, are you done with your stuff?” I asked over the phone when he said that he wanted to come over. “Yeah, just done. What about you?” “I am done, I am in room 307, just come over.” I said over the phone. I was done discussing business with this man. Whether I got the deal or not, I don’t think that it matters to me. “Seems like miss West is adamant on leaving?” “Yes, there is nothing to discuss between us. My husband is coming to pick me up.” I said without sparing the man a glance. “Miss West is already married? I had no idea.” The man said. “Yeah. I am a married woman.” I spoke. Shortly after, Lucien arrived. “Why are you wearing so little? Didn’t I tell you that city N has become cold recently?” Lucien said the moment he walked in, not even sparing the man who was sitting opposite me a glance. “I am already wearing enough. Just look at how bundled up I am.” I said a
Chapter 93Camilla POV…The doctor did not dare to delay any longer. After all the fuss of drawing my blood and everything, we sat in the doctor’s office as we patiently waited for the results.By now, I was so tired that I did not even have the energy to keep my eyes open.“You can sleep for a while.” Lucien said as he looked at me. We were seating on a three-seater sofa and although this was someone’s office, I was greatly tempted.“It might take a while. I will wake you up when the doctor comes.”“Okay.” I nodded and laid my head on Lucien’s lap. I could not care less if this was someone’s office as fatigue overcame me and I drifted into darkness.…Lucien POV…Hearing the soft breath on my lap, I removed my coat and gently covered her. After taking over as mayor, I have been running all around the city stabilizing things that I hardly had time to relax. I did not expect that this girl would neglect herself to such extent.Her face was deathly pale and even her lips were slightly c
Chapter 94Lucien POV…“I think dinner should be ready by now. Don’t you want to wash up first?”“I feel lethargic, I think I will go and take a shower.”She stood up quickly and my soul almost left my body when I saw her stumble forward as if she was going to fall.“Careful!” I shouted as I gently caught her in my arms.“Darling, why are you so nervous? It is not like I was really going to fall. And even if I fall, I am not made of glass.” She said and I only looked at her without saying anything. wait till you learn that you are pregnant, then you will know why I am frightened.“Just be careful. You know what, I will just carry you there.” I said and before she could react, I carried her to the bathroom.I have already covered the bathroom with non-slippery vinyl flooring. What if she slipped and fell while showering, I cannot let any accidents happen.Just in the few hours, I have redecorated the whole house with warm and fluffy carpets. She is so clumsy when she is at home that s
