CAMILLASIX MONTHS LATER The church bells rang loudly, creating such a peaceful ambience the moment we drove in. It has been six months since the entire saga we had with Ophelia. It was really not easy for I and Braden to try and overlook everything that had happened between us but thankfully we managed to do so.And our relationship blossomed more than ever. I loved this man so much. Looking back at everything that had happened between us, there was no doubt that I and Braden were fated lovers. We were a match made in heaven. I feel like a teenager in love once again. I feel so nostalgic seeing how everything is turning out; how in love we are is just like when we were back in college. Tears welled up in my eyes but I blinked them away. "Camilla it is way too early to start crying" Mr Harold, the elderly doctor who helped in treating my bother when he needed his surgery for his heart said to me with a hearty smile. I faced him and let out a chuckle. Today was my wedding day
The young lady quickened in her steps, her heart palpitating with each passing nano second that clicked by.She tucked her blonde hair behind her ear, her hips swaying as she walked towards the huge mettalic door of the CEO's office. She tried calming her erratic heartbeat and tried assuring herself that she would get the job but all her attempts to alley her fears proved futile as memories of how her job application had been rejected in the past flashed before her eyes.On arrival at his office, she said a silent prayer as she loomed by the door way, fervently hoping to get the job and impress whoever this formidable CEO was.Clutching on to her file even tighter, Camilla Ross pushed open the door and at once, the sound of moaning welcomed her in and flooded her ear drums. Right before her very eyes was the CEO and a brunette lady having a hot make out session. They were too deep in their kiss to even notice her or anything else around them.With an erratic heart beat and her orb
CAMILLA"Oh Camilla you are finally awake" Olga, the elderly lady I stayed with walked into my room with an endearing smile across her face. With grey hairs tied to a bun and speckles of brown in them, peach broad lips and round brown eyes; Olga was a bubbly elderly woman.She took I and my brother in after our landlord threw us out because of my inability to complete the rent.Sighs.My debts kept on imposing me at all sides. I stood with a yawn and stretched my arms lazily."Goodmorning olga" I hugged her.Olga patted my back. "You seemed so worked up and stressed when you came back from your interview yesterday. I decided not to inquire about it. Any luck?" A frown morphed on my face and I shook my head. "Sadly no Olga" I heaved a deep sigh. Olga's brown eyes held on to mine lovingly and she caressed my dishevelled hairs. "You will get a job my dear I assure you. Just do all you can to make it work out for you" Olga pecked me by the cheek before turning to go."Freshen up
Her heart was unsteady, beating frantically and palpitating as she took each rigid step towards the huge mettalic office door. She wanted to be anywhere but here again but sadly she couldn't snap her fingers to make herself vanish from the predator who was confidently waiting for her inside his office. Camilla felt hard and multiple knots tie up in her stomach. A bitter gal was felt rising up to her throat and her palms became sweaty.Her mind raced, trying to conjure the different reception she would recieve from Braden but all she could see was him laughing at her and belittling her for coming back to an offer she bodly rejected. It was tempting. A hundred thousand dollars a month would go a long way to solve all her issues.She would start by paying her brother's medical fees and go off to pay part of her bank debts.She would also offer Olga, the bubbly elderly lady part out of the money for she had done so much for Camilla. And by the end of the five months, s
CAMILLA"Walk fast Camilla. I don't have all day" Braden's annoyed voice boomed at me, his tone blunt as he walked behind me. He was taking me to his home which would now from the look of things be my prison. I wasn't even given a chance to say farewell to Olga in person. I only had the opportunity to call her. The woman broke into sobs when I told her the situation of things and how my hands were tied. I haven't began working for Braden yet but I honestly can not wait until these five months were over. "Move Camilla" Braden sounded more annoyed this time. Was I really that slow in walking or was he just impatient? I hurriedly increased my space as we came out of the exit of his company.A limousine doused in black was parked in the company's premises. I'm guessing that was his. "Head to the limo" Braden's deep voice resonated behind me.A young man stood in waiting by the limo, opening the door wide for us. He was the chauffeur. I stepped inside and so did Braden.I sh
CAMILLAThe limousine kept on driving until it came to a sudden halt. Slowly we began moving once again and a gigantic huge black gate came in view as we drove into Braden's home. I noticed that the gate closed by itself.It was probably electric or it was being controlled.As we drove inside, my jaws dropped on seeing where he resided in.The environment was so captivating. A large lawn decorated by colourful flowers and well trimmed grasses spread across everywhere.There was a huge fountain that stood at the centre and surrounding this fountain were red roses, beautifully planted in the soil around it.I noticed the grasses surrounding the area were perfectly trimmed and sprinklers watered it. Mini-fountains oozing pure crystal clear water were spotted at almost every corner. I spotted some lovely picturesque buildings at the far back as our limousine kept on driving slowly It felt like we were in a garden. The serenity was so natural. Soon enough a gigantic milky shade shadow c
CAMILLA The honking sounds of a car instantly shot through my ear walls and woke me up from my slumber. I was up with the speed of lightening, my body restless. My eyes dragged to wall clock and on seeing the time, I let out a shriek. It was already 8:12! And I hadn't even prepared dinner yet.Oh fuck!I stood up in a flash and slipped my legs into my footwears. How did I sleep for this long? Today was just so tiring and I just needed a little nap. How did it turn out to be this long? I briskly sprinted through the doors and ran through the hallways like my life depended on it. Braden was back already. I could tell from the car horns that woke me up yet nothing was cooking.Sweat beads covered my forehead and jitters spread through out my body as I thought of what Braden would do to me. Probably, he might not do anything. He might let me go with a warning.Oh fuck. I wish. The Braden I had come to know now was nothing like the one I knew in the past. With a frightened heart, I
CAMILLA I fluttered my eyes open the moment my phone's alarm vibrated in my ear followed by the incessant grumbling of my stomach. I was starving and my body ached me. Fuck.I pushed the duvets off my body and dragged my sleepy legs to the floor. I recoiled in my skin feeling the cold tiles come in contact with my bare legs. After yesterdays ordeal with Braden, I couldn't dare to even wake up a minute after six am. I took a sharp glance at the wall clock. It was 5:35am. Even though I had slept in such a very comfortable bed, I didn't have a sound slumber. My stomach grumbled on all sides, reminding me of the fact that I hadn't eaten.I was very much tempted to sneak out and prepare something light for myself in the middle of the night. But Braden was so mysterious, he moved like a hawk. I didn't even want to imagine the consequences of my actions if he caught me.So I bore my hunger till dawn.My vision was still very blurry and my eyes begged to be close but my rumbling and
